Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1838: Chapter 1774: This Girl Is Smart

”Chiang Xiao, I want to ask you a few questions, can you answer me truthfully?”

Chiang Xiao held the gun case, looked at him, and nodded.

Of course, she said she could.

However, unless it concerns her secrets, whatever Li Hanzhong asks, she really has to answer.

With his capability, he could find out the truth, and perhaps he already has, her truthful answers would prevent any suspicion between them.

”Thank you.” Li Hanzhong took a sip of tea before asking, ”The first thing, you and Meng Donghai, and Meng Chaojun, are you truly at odds?”

Chiang Xiao was momentarily stunned when she heard this, Li Hanzhong always caught her off guard.

She didn’t expect his first question would be such.

”It’s not really a grudge,” she pursed her lips and said, ”Previously, Grandpa Meng and Chief Meng did a lot of things I didn’t like, but those can be considered private matters, family affairs, unrelated to their stance on major issues. They simply didn’t like me at first and thought my background wasn’t good enough for Brother Xinian. However, in terms of work, and their attitude towards you, Uncle, there’s no deviation, you can rest assured. Besides, they genuinely care for Brother Xinian, hoping that he can tread this path well and serve the country well.”

When Chiang Xiao said this, Li Hanzhong couldn’t help being stunned too.

Did she hear the real question he meant to ask?

How could this young girl be so astute?

He asked this because he wanted to determine whether Meng Donghai and his son could no longer align with their side.

Chiang Xiao was to marry Meng Xinian, so Meng Donghai and Meng Chaojun, whether they wanted or not, were considered family. He had to clarify if they could be trusted as one family, or if they needed to be more wary.

He originally thought that Chiang Xiao wouldn’t understand this and had planned to ask progressively, but she caught on immediately and gave him a straightforward answer.

Li Hanzhong suddenly understood why Meng Xinian was so captivated by a girl so much younger than himself.

This girl was smart.

He believed that Meng Xinian never had any difficulty communicating with her.

There shouldn’t be any generational gap between them.

Many of the words he had prepared suddenly seemed unnecessary to say.

Li Hanzhong smiled slightly.

”Hmm, I understand.”

If that’s the case, if Meng Chaojun could recover in the future, there’s no reason he couldn’t return to a suitable position. After all, he does have capabilities, and with such a relationship with them, it’s better to put him to use than to waste his talents.

Meng Chaojun never imagined that although he originally looked down on Chiang Xiao, one day he would rely on her to shine and thrive again in his position.

Chiang Xiao said, ”Then, the second question.”

Li Hanzhong felt somewhat led by her.

Fortunately, he didn’t mind.

Compared to talking with an actual seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who knows nothing, he preferred someone like Chiang Xiao, as the conversation was effortless.

”The second question, I want to ask about Xiao Sixth’s situation.”

Chen Baoshen only told them that Ah Liu had a bit of blood accumulation in the brain, but Li Hanzhong was no ordinary person. He could tell that Chen Baoshen hadn’t disclosed all the information.
