Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2950: Chapter 2886: Give It to Her

Jiang Xiao suddenly realizes what’s happening, grabs the towel, and rushes into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, sure enough, she saw her lips slightly swollen and, with the glossy moisture, really looking like they had become jelly.

Her face flushed instantly.

That damn Tyrant Meng!

He didn’t even tell her beforehand!

How embarrassing!

From now on, she absolutely won’t let him touch her in public again! She promises!

During dinner, Meng Xinian noticed that Jiang Xiao glared at him from time to time, still with a fierce expression.

He was a bit confused, not knowing what he had done wrong.

The clever Great Officer Meng was completely baffled for the first time.

But Madam Cui couldn’t help but find them amusing, often lifting the corners of her mouth.

These two young ones are really something.

After they had all left, Commander Cui couldn’t help but ask, ”You seem to be in a good mood today?”

”Of course, I’m happy.”

”Care to share?”

”Go on, get busy. There’s nothing worth hearing.” Madam Cui laughed, pushing him away, and turned to look at the things Jiang Xiao had brought her.

Jiang Xiao had come several times, all carrying large bags, mostly food. At first, she would decline, but later Jiang Xiao told her these were beneficial for her heart condition. If she really didn’t want to accept them, she could ask Commander Cui for money next time.

Madam Cui found it amusing and heartwarming, so afterward, she no longer refused the things Jiang Xiao brought.

Commander Cui had previously listened to Meng Chaojun talking about his views and reports on a project and felt rather good, and he also admired Meng Xinian. So he wasn’t in a rush to return to work.

He also came over to take a look at the things Jiang Xiao had brought, his eyes wide in surprise.

”This Little Firecracker brings more each time!”

Little packets of floral tea, claiming they were made by herself.

Madam Cui liked these tea bags very much—they not only quenched her thirst but also helped her sleep well, unlike other teas that hinder sleep. Plus, because of her health, doctors advised her not to drink regular tea.

There were also numerous snacks, in various flavors.

And some meat floss as well.

All made by Jiang Xiao herself.

Of course, they both understood the value of these items.

”Indeed, leaving aside the value of the items, Xiao Chiang’s intention...” Madam Cui sighed lightly and said, ”I can truly feel it. At first, perhaps she was just being polite, but feeling our kindness toward her, she began bringing these items as if money were no object. Then she said she’d just ask you for money. But how much would it really cost to buy all these?”

Jiang Xiao is truly different from others.

Others gifting things to Commander Cui wouldn’t dare ask money from him.

If Commander Cui gave money, they’d be trembling, pale-faced, and flustered.

But last time, when Jiang Xiao brought snacks, Commander Cui gave her a hundred yuan, and Jiang Xiao straightforwardly took the remaining fifty from his hand.

She waved the money, saying to him, ”Don’t you know my stuff sells for a high price?”

At that moment, Commander Cui was almost amused.

The only one daring enough to snatch money like this must be Jiang Xiao.

However, it’s odd, her actions actually made Commander Cui happy.

”When you get home, give her that South Sea pearl necklace.” Commander Cui said this.

Madam Cui was taken aback.

That South Sea pearl necklace?

Wasn’t that...

Seeing her looking a bit sad, Commander Cui sighed, his eyes usually sharp now covered with a layer of sorrow.

”Give it to her, I see you won’t wear those pearls anyway. What’s the use of keeping them? That kid is destined to be close to us; giving them to her seems right.”
