Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 2546 - 2482: Just Here to Discuss

"So you already knew?" Old Meng said with some surprise. "Then why do you act as if nothing happened?"

They thought Chiang Xiao would be the most upset and worried.

The reason they came over was firstly to see if she knew, and secondly, to comfort her.

They didn’t expect that she was still painting, looking just like nothing was wrong.

Meng Chaojun’s spirits have improved quite a bit these days, but when he heard about this matter, his head started to ache again.

He has only one son, and if something were to happen while in the Country at War, the Meng family would truly have no successor.

That’s why he couldn’t stay in the hospital and insisted on coming over with his father.

"Grandpa, what else can I do?" Chiang Xiao finished her painting, set down the brush and paints, and said, "You should be more aware than me of the authority and power of orders."

The Meng Family Father and Son fell silent.

Indeed, they should know this better than her.

But understanding is different from feeling.

Even knowing it’s hard to disobey orders, and knowing they shouldn’t be defied, at times like this, there’s still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping for a chance for change.

"Actually, Brother Xinian and I heard about this matter earlier, so we were mentally prepared. We’ve already discussed everything with Brother Xinian, and we should trust in his abilities. He will definitely return safely."

Chiang Xiao said, inviting them to the living room.

"Grandpa, Dad, you sit down first, I’ll go wash my face and hands."

Chiang Xiao noticed her own disheveled appearance.

These days, she’s been painting almost without sleep or rest, inevitably getting paint on herself and her face at times.

As she left, Meng Chaojun sighed and looked at his father.

"Dad, do you think when we discuss that matter with Little, she’ll agree? It’s a bit awkward for us to bring it up."

"Then what else can we do? Is there a woman at home? If I don’t speak and you don’t speak, who will?" Old Meng glared at him and said, "I’m telling you right now, we’re just discussing with her, understand? Do not be overbearing."

"Dad, when have I ever been overbearing?"

"Your old temper, do you think I’m unaware? In any case, if Little agrees, we should be grateful. If she doesn’t, it’s also reasonable and normal, so don’t show her a sour face."

Meng Chaojun sighed helplessly and said, "Dad, I understand."

He has changed a lot now; when has he ever shown a sour face to Chiang Xiao?

Now that they can get along like this, he’d have to be foolish to mess it up again.

When Chiang Xiao finished tidying up and changed into a clean set of clothes, she saw the Meng family father and son looking a bit anxious.

Seeing their expressions, it was clear they had something difficult to discuss with her.

"Dad, Grandpa, don’t worry too much. Brother Xinian will have five days of leave, and he’ll likely return by tomorrow evening."

"Little, we know that," Old Meng said, coughing and looking at Meng Chaojun. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Meng Chaojun was speechless.

The old man seemed so brave earlier, like he would take the lead, but now he’s hinting for him to speak?

He looked at Chiang Xiao and simply said, "Little..."

Chiang Xiao looked at him.

Under the gaze of her clear, black and white eyes, Meng Chaojun found himself at a loss for words.

He was acutely aware of this fact.

Chiang Xiao is only eighteen years old. She’s still in college.
