Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2464: Chapter 2400: Let’s Catch Up

Old Meng sighed and said, ”What’s the use of saying these things now? Chenger is gone, Chao Jun is like this, it’s all in the past, in the past. Nian Che, you should live your life well.”

”Thank you, Eldest Uncle Meng, for enlightening me like this.”

Nian Che’s tone suddenly warmed a bit.

”To be honest, when I wanted to leave back then, if it hadn’t been for Eldest Uncle Meng giving me a sum of money, I really couldn’t have managed to leave. So, I’ve always remembered that kindness deeply. Oh, and I saw Chenger’s son then, he was incredibly cute.”

For some reason, when Chiang Xiao heard this, she felt a shiver inside.

She didn’t understand why she reacted this way.

However, hearing Nian Che mention Meng Xinian from that time, she always felt something was off.

”At that time, you wanted to talk to Xinian, didn’t you?”

”Of course, I saw him playing alone in the corner, worried he might encounter bad people. If anything happened to him, Chenger would have been deeply hurt. But after you stopped me, I thought my face might scare him, so I gave up the idea.”

There was such an incident back then, did Meng Xinian know about it?

”Nian Che, now that you’ve returned to the country, do you have any plans? Are you not leaving anymore?” Old Meng asked again.

”Does Eldest Uncle Meng think I should stay or leave?”

Chiang Xiao originally thought that Old Meng kept talking to him due to some old ties.

But when Nian Che asked this question, she heard Old Meng sigh again and say, ”You’ve been away for so many years, and there are no relatives or friends here. I suppose you’re more accustomed to being abroad? Since you’ve built such a great business over there, it’s not something you can just abandon easily.”

Old Meng’s meaning was quite clear.

It seemed he thought Nian Che would be better off staying abroad.

Chiang Xiao felt somewhat surprised.

It sounded as if Old Meng was wary of Nian Che and didn’t welcome him staying in the Capital City.

Nian Che laughed again.

”I haven’t decided yet. But since I’m back, I’ll stay for a while, and there are some necessary matters to handle. Eldest Uncle Meng, don’t you agree?”

Old Meng gave a vague response with some ”uh-huhs,” and then asked, ”What matters do you have to handle?”

”There are certainly some. If there’s anything I need Eldest Uncle Meng’s help with, I’m sure he wouldn’t refuse, right?”

”I would like to help, but you see, I’m old, and Chao Jun’s situation makes it difficult for me.”

”What’s hard to handle won’t trouble Eldest Uncle Meng; naturally, it won’t be hard to handle. If Eldest Uncle Meng can’t help, perhaps Chenger’s son can? Xinian is quite capable now, isn’t he? And his fiancée, Chiang Xiao, is also quite well-known.”

”Xinian is just a soldier, and Chiang Xiao is merely a student; neither can be of much help to you.”

”Eldest Uncle Meng’s refusal makes me feel quite uncomfortable. We are family, aren’t we?”

At this moment, Meng Chaojun woke up.

”Who?”

He sat up, looked at Nian Che, but didn’t recognize him.

Nian Che smiled at him and waved.

”By the way, tomorrow evening at six-thirty, I’m hosting a banquet at Fuxi Restaurant, please make sure to come. Let’s catch up properly.”

After speaking, he headed towards the door.

Hearing his footsteps, Chiang Xiao quickly moved away, ran towards the corner, and avoided him.
