Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1571: Chapter 1573: Still Protecting Her (For Su Jingliang+)

”Where’s Brother Chu?” Chiang Xiao had been here for a while without seeing Chu Liang, and couldn’t help feeling a bit curious.

Aunt Ah Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, then said to her, ”He went to Xiugu’s house.”

”Xiugu? You mean Uncle Huo’s younger cousin, right?”

”That’s right.”

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened. ”So, does that mean the two of them are together?”

”Very likely they’re an item now.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but smile as well. She was genuinely happy for Chu Liang. He wasn’t young anymore, and besides, he was almost like a matchmaker for her and Meng Xinian together with the Head Chief’s Wife. Chiang Xiao sincerely hoped he could settle down and have a warm family of his own.

Back then, he had been lying in her house with serious injuries, even held hostage by those criminals. Now, in the blink of an eye, nearly five years had passed.

Thinking about these past five years, Chiang Xiao truly felt time had flown by, and moreover, it had changed so many things, altering so many people’s destinies.

The Chu Liang from her previous life and the one from this life already had two completely different endings.

Nothing made her happier than seeing such transformations.

All these changes were telling her that she was already far, far away from the tragic fate of her past life.

In the lush green hills, Wang Yi’s spirits completely relaxed. The vibrant green tea leaves covering the mountain brought her a sense of peace and joy, especially when she could join Chiang Xiao to learn tea-picking and tea-making from Uncle Huo and his son. Her smile became even brighter.

The stress she’d been carrying during this time seemed to have dissipated entirely.

But what she didn’t know was that, over the past two days in the Capital City, Chen Yin had been hit by a car while searching for her.

Wang Yi hadn’t told Chen Yin she was coming to City M with Chiang Xiao. She only mentioned it to Director Jin and Jin Lei, and once Director Jin agreed, her parents gave their permission as well.

So, Chen Yin, unable to find Wang Yi in the Capital City, felt as if she had disappeared into thin air.

On that day, Wang Yi had been running a high fever repeatedly. Chen Yin felt she needed another day of observation, but that afternoon, when he went home to cook some soup, Wang Yi had already discharged herself from the hospital. When he returned, she was gone.

This made Chen Yin extremely anxious and worried, so he began searching every day at the entrance of Wang’s house and the art academy. Still, he could not find her.

Feeling mentally exhausted, while walking on the street, he suddenly saw a woman whose figure resembled Wang Yi’s. Without paying attention to the road, he hurried after the woman, only to be struck by a car and sent flying.

Chen Yin was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, and Mother Chen, in her panic and fear, made some impulsive calls. She rang up the Meng Family, hoping to ask Old Meng about his connection with Doctor Chen Baoshen and whether they could invite Doctor Chen Baoshen to the hospital for assistance.

Old Meng received the call and felt deeply concerned for Chen Yin, but at the same time, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Because lately, Chen Baoshen had been completely ignoring them!

Although he was still preparing medicine for them, the cost of the drugs had doubled—more than twice the previous price. Moreover, he informed them that once this batch of medicine was gone, there would be no more, as half of the herbs were personally harvested by Chiang Xiao from deep in the mountains.

Old Meng and Meng Chaojun understood very well that Chen Baoshen was still standing up for Chiang Xiao.

They hadn’t expected that, despite meeting Chiang Xiao only a few times and having no family ties, Chen Baoshen would go to such lengths to protect her.

At the same time, they had only now begun to truly realize what Chiang Xiao had done for them.

Those medicinal herbs were all collected by Chiang Xiao herself, deep in the mountains—she was only a teenage girl at the time! How had they ever thought that was just an ordinary thing?
