Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1072: Chapter 1073: Free Up Space

Old Meng heard his elder brother’s words, and his heart was filled with waves of desolation and anger.

Although he had never had any grand expectations of their affection, how much had he helped them when he held power?

Meng Wenxing now sat in this position; wasn’t it also because of his support and Meng Chaojun’s tireless help?

Human hearts are indeed cold and pragmatic.

Yet he found himself unable to refute what his elder brother had said, at least not right away.

Meng Chaojun’s illness was a fact; as a member of the Meng Family, he naturally couldn’t help but wish for the family’s well-being.

”You all go back first, I’ll listen to Uncle, let’s keep my... illness under wraps for now, I will continue to complete my official duties, and about Wenxing’s matter, we need to wait a few more days. I’ll find the right opportunity to transfer him over to help. If he can achieve results in this matter, naturally he will have the chance...”

The chance, the chance for what?

Obviously, the chance to take his position.

By that time, his illness would probably be impossible to hide, or he might even be dead; anyway, they’d need to clear the spot for Meng Wenxing, right?

If he were to pass away, the entire Meng Family might still remember and appreciate his kindness, and who knows, they might even hold a very solemn and respectful memorial service for him.

But if he hadn’t been a great help, unable to support Meng Wenxing’s rise, after his death he might even be blamed by the whole Meng Family.

Meng Chaojun felt his heart plummet into an abyss.

His body also felt cold in waves.

Until two days before, he had never imagined that he was so close to death.

He had always thought himself to be in the prime of life; he was only forty-five years old after all, he had always been in good health, capable in his official duties, and still extremely vigorous in his marital relations, never feeling any sense of aging.

But why had he suddenly been almost pronounced dead?

”Alright, Chao Jun also needs to rest, and with so many of us here, it’s disturbing his peace,” Eldest Uncle Meng stood up first, followed by everyone else standing up.

”We will go back now, Donghai, let Baoyuan stay here to help, and don’t hesitate to ask him if there’s anything you need,” Eldest Uncle Meng now seemed very kind and gentle, ”Chao Jun, don’t be too sad, listen to the doctors, it can definitely be cured, just take it easy.”

Old Meng and his son Meng Chaojun simultaneously forced a bitter smile.

The Meng family members, having achieved their goal, flowed out of the room like the tide, finally bringing peace to the ward.

”Uncle, why hasn’t Xinian come yet?” Meng Baoyuan asked.

Meng Chaojun turned to look at his father.

Yes, hadn’t they already phoned Xinian early in the morning, and hadn’t Xinian quickly agreed, saying he would ask for leave to come back?

Why hadn’t he arrived by now?

”I’ll make a phone call to check when he left. Baoyuan, you stay here and look after Chao Jun for now,” Old Meng said.

Meng Baoyuan waved his hand, ”Great Uncle, go ahead with peace of mind, I’ll take care of Uncle.”

Old Meng straightened his back, but as soon as he stepped out of the hospital room, his shoulders suddenly slumped in defeat, feeling utterly exhausted.

He was tired, heart-tired.

As Chiang Xiao stepped out of the school, she saw an attractive couple standing outside the school gates; the man with his hands casually tucked in his pockets, the woman looking at him and chatting.

It was Chen Yin and Wang Yi.

From their appearance, Chiang Xiao knew they had reconciled.

”Sister-in-law!”

As soon as Chen Yin saw her, he stood up straight and waved at her.
