Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1274: Too Lazy to Respond

Mutong Nian hadn’t closed the door.

Chiang Xiao raised her hand and knocked on the door, ”Miss Nian, I’m sorry, this orchid is mine. I regret that I can’t leave it in your room, I have to take it with me.”

”How could it be yours? I moved it from Aunt Qing’s room!” Mutong Nian watched wide-eyed as Chiang Xiao picked up the orchid and instinctively reached out to stop her.

”You can ask Alliance Officer Meng whose flower it is.”

Chiang Xiao, holding the flower, walked past her without looking back.

However, up until dinnertime, Duan Qingqing hadn’t brought this up with her. It seemed that Mutong Nian hadn’t mentioned it to Duan Qingqing either, which actually surprised Chiang Xiao a bit.

At the dinner table, Duan Qingqing pretty much ignored Chiang Xiao and directly said to Mutong Nian, ”Xiao Tong, I have to go out for something tomorrow, and I don’t know what time I’ll be back in the evening. Why don’t you go shopping and have dinner with Xiao Du? You could also invite her to come over to hang out at home; that way, you won’t be bored alone.”

”Okay, actually she has also asked me out.”

”That’s great. Xiao Du is a good girl, comes from a good family, is beautiful, has a nice personality, is gentle, and has an air of elegance, especially since there are no unsavory rumors about her. I’m at ease with you hanging out with her.”

Saying this, Duan Qingqing glanced at Chiang Xiao.

Her implication was clear, that Chiang Xiao was from a bad family, had a terrible personality, was neither gentle nor elegant, and was beset by unsavory rumors, making her unreliable.

Chiang Xiao lightly tugged at the corner of her lips and kept silent.

She couldn’t be bothered to engage in this petty squabble with Duan Qingqing.

However, her cousin was called Xiao Tong too, so she was still a bit annoyed to hear Duan Qingqing calling Mutong Nian that way.

Mutong Nian looked at her and asked, ”Future cousin-in-law, are you free tomorrow? Come out with us. We’re going to wander the antiques market. Sister Du said she’s going to show me some of our ancient utensils and jewelry to experience our ancestors’ culture.”

”I have to leave early in the morning,” Chiang Xiao replied indifferently.

”You’re leaving?” Duan Qingqing was startled for a moment, suddenly turning her gaze to Chiang Xiao, ”You’re not waiting for your grandparents to return? Hand over the room key then! Also, the medicinal tea for Chao Jun that he had before, did you bring any more?”

Since she had to prepare the medicine, Chiang Xiao had previously returned home to cook the medicinal tea and then sent it in a bottle.

On the bottle, naturally, she had drawn the Cease Talisman Diagram, so the efficacy of the medicine had not deteriorated.

”I’ve already brought the medicine and given it to Aunt Guo. It will be handed over to Alliance Officer Meng once he’s back.”

While saying this, Chiang Xiao wiped her mouth with a napkin and stood up.

”Why did you give Chao Jun’s medicine to Aunt Guo instead of me? Chiang Xiao, wait, wait a moment, where’s the key?”

Seeing her turn to leave, Duan Qingqing, out of urgency, tried to chase after her but felt suddenly nauseated and stiffened after jogging just a couple of steps, clutching her chest with a retching sound.

”Aunt Qing, what’s the matter?” Mutong Nian walked over to help her.

Chiang Xiao paused her exit, turned her head back to look at her retching, and frowned.

”It’s nothing... ugh...”

Duan Qingqing couldn’t even finish her sentence, overcame again by the urge to vomit.

Chiang Xiao no longer paid her any mind and turned to go upstairs.

She had to leave early in the morning so she should get ready.

As for that orchid, she had already placed it in her Space.

A product of the Space, nothing ordinary, how could she possibly give it away carelessly?

In the wee hours around three to four o’clock, the door made a clicking sound.
