Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1319: Chapter 1320: Certain Death

”What do you mean by that? Chiang Xiao, don’t think that just because you prescribed me medicine and captivated this boy’s heart, you can actually take charge in the Meng Family!” Meng Chaojun spoke sternly, ”A mere girl who hasn’t eaten but a few bowls of rice in her teenage years, really taking yourself too seriously?”

In the past few days, his head had started to ache subtly again.

Moreover, the doctor had given him acupuncture several times and had him drink medicine multiple times, after which he always felt a slight increase in headaches and an uncontrollable, explosive temper.

But the doctor said that this was a necessary process because the acupuncture and the medicine were reacting—it was the process of the medicine fighting the illness, which is normal and a good thing.

A tumor patient whom he had once cured came forward and testified, saying that he had gone through a similar process at the beginning of his treatment but got better afterward.

Meng Chaojun was skeptical.

Originally, he wanted to discuss it with Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao, but their tone made it impossible for him to accept their disdainful attitude toward their actions this time, which also infuriated him.

Upon hearing his words, Meng Xinian’s expression instantly turned cold.

He was about to speak when Chiang Xiao held him back.

”Meng Chaojun, let me be honest with you. If it weren’t for my and Doctor Chen’s medicine,” Chiang Xiao looked at him coldly, word by word, ”you would surely die.”

”You would surely die.”

These four words, like a bombshell, heavily impacted both Meng Chaojun and Old Meng.

This was the first time Chiang Xiao had spoken to him in such harsh terms.

Chiang Xiao was at her limit.

The last time Meng Chaojun felt that there was no cure, he was nearly devastated—when she told him there was still hope, he viewed her as his lifeline.

Then, once he had taken the medicine and his condition improved, he began to feel that perhaps the illness wasn’t that serious; perhaps he didn’t need her, didn’t need Bao Shan, and he could find another doctor to cure his illness.

She roughly understood what he was thinking.

If his illness was indeed cured by her, then he would always owe her a favor, enduring her presence. But what if his illness was cured by someone else?

Then he could act superior in front of her again.

After all, how could he tolerate having to look at his daughter-in-law’s face at home afterward?

Perhaps Old Meng also harbored similar thoughts.

”Little, how can you say such things?” Old Meng’s body swayed.

”How can I not say them?” Chiang Xiao’s tone was icy and merciless, ”Because this is the truth. If you think you can find another doctor to treat you, then go ahead and find one. Starting today, I will no longer give you medicine.”

After speaking, she turned and walked into the living room.

Soon, the three members of the Meng family heard her voice coming from the kitchen.

”Aunt Guo, the medicine I handed over to you earlier, please give it back to me.”

Meng Xinian clenched his fists, holding back the impulse to throw a punch at Meng Chaojun’s face.

Compared to throwing punches, he knew of a way that would hit him harder.

He sneered and said to Meng Chaojun, ”Hurry up and arrange the details for your memorial service and funeral. Once you die from the illness, I will take care of it.”

Those words were truly poisonous and harsh!

After saying that, he also turned and walked away.

He had never thought about wishing his father dead.

But, they had chilled Chiang Xiao’s heart, and he couldn’t bear it either.

He, too, had been cured by Chiang Xiaoxiao, and only he knew how precious Chiang Xiaoxiao’s medicine was.
