Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1762: Chapter 1698: Aspiring to Be Above Others

Chen Kaijin is still thinking about Chiang Songhai and his group.

She feels that Chiang Songhai and his group seem to be living quite comfortably, not just judging by their house, but their overall demeanor shows it, and the details in the house suggest anything but a life of hardship.

Even if the house was bought by Meng Xinian, there must be some way they made quite a bit of money.

Wouldn’t it be better and more secure to go there?

Although she was driven away when she went there, she believes that as long as Deng Qingjiang goes himself, and if he’s sincere and speaks nicely with Chiang Songhai and his group, they can still rekindle their relationship.

Initially, Deng Qingjiang had clearly agreed to go to City M, but for some reason, he changed his mind and came to the Capital City instead.

Moreover, he splashed money around generously as soon as he arrived, appearing quite lavish.

Though it indeed attracted many people wanting to make connections, Chen Kaijin feels those people who eagerly approach will only end up being Deng Qingjiang’s drinking buddies at most; how can there be any real benefits?

Deng Qingjiang said, ”I told you, you don’t understand, you really don’t understand. I know Chiang Laoer and his wife well,” Deng Qingjiang curled his lips and said, ”With their capabilities, they definitely couldn’t have made money. What you see couldn’t possibly be earned by Chiang Laoer and his wife. So, who do you think in their family could have done it?”

”Are you saying Chiang Xiao?” Chen Kaijin was taken aback.

Deng Qingjiang nodded, ”When I left back then, that girl was so little, I didn’t know her well, and according to my investigation, her temperament over the past few years is completely different from before she turned thirteen. Can you say there’s nothing strange about it?”

Chen Kaijin replied, ”Are you talking about what we asked Uncle Chiang? They said that after thinking it over, Chiang Xiao changed after falling into Nameless Creek, and that incident? Isn’t that superstitious nonsense? Uncle and they aren’t on good terms with their parents, and since Chiang Baohe got shot, they might be talking nonsense too.”

”Is this them talking nonsense? Regarding this matter, I also had people ask around in Siyang Village, and many said that Chiang Xiao indeed has a different temperament from before she turned thirteen.”

Deng Qingjiang didn’t tell Chen Kaijin that although he thought this was strange after investigating these matters, he didn’t pay much attention until he went to D State for a study and met someone. After hearing what that person said, he reconsidered the issue with Chiang Xiao.

Of course, he won’t reveal this matter to anyone for now.

That person mentioned wanting the treasures from Bai Gu Mountain Ancient Tomb, and after investigation, confirmed that the expert groups didn’t obtain treasure from the tomb, indicating someone else got there first.

Deng Qingjiang associated this matter with Chiang Xiao’s change, feeling intuitively there’s some connection.

By relying on Furniture City, he might make money and become an average rich person.

But that’s not Deng Qingjiang’s goal.

After unintentionally encountering those people in D State, he realized that mere moderate wealth isn’t sufficient; he needs great wealth and power. Otherwise, he’d end up like the owner of that gold shop in D State, slapped and spat on yet unable to stand straight, wagging like a dog.

Deng Qingjiang decided he won’t be a person of modest means.

He aims to stand above others.

Therefore, he chose to come to the Capital City, not only because it offers more opportunities to meet the powerful but also because he must uncover the secrets surrounding Chiang Xiao.
