Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2606: Chapter 2542: Rumors from Outside

She didn’t call Jiang Shiheng specifically for this box.

Instead, she called the Jiang Family in D State after receiving a call from Zhu Shun, who had arrived in Pingzhou and talked about a couple of incidents that happened there recently.

Jiang Shiheng had just returned from a walk and happened to receive her call.

”Dad, did you go for a walk?”

Around this time every evening, Jiang Shiheng would stroll around the Jiang Family garden, saying it was to aid digestion, but Chiang Xiao knew he was searching for memories.

Only by frequently revisiting old places could he help recover memories from years past.

”Yes, I walked a little longer today, so I almost missed your call.” Jiang Shiheng rubbed his temples, maintaining his usual tone, not wanting Chiang Xiao to detect his fatigue.

In fact, his head had been feeling somewhat dull and heavy for the past two days. Although not extremely painful, it was quite uncomfortable.

He constantly felt as if he had forgotten something very important. This feeling had been intensifying recently, but the more he tried to recall it, the more muddled and uncomfortable his mind felt.

In the past, he never pushed himself so hard to remember something. However, over the last few days, he felt that what he had forgotten was crucial, and he had to remember it no matter what.

If Chiang Xiao knew this, she would certainly worry about him again.

”What’s wrong?”

”Hmm?” Jiang Shiheng was momentarily stunned, thinking she had already detected something.

”I meant, why did you walk longer today? Did you remember something?” In truth, Chiang Xiao most wanted him to recall who initially told him about that place, the person who directed him to find that foreigner.

Everything started from that moment.

The person who directed him surely seemed suspicious.

Jiang Shiheng let out a slight exhale.

”I haven’t remembered yet. No rush, it will come to me eventually.”

”Yes, Dad, that’s the right approach. Don’t force yourself to remember. After all, you haven’t been out of surgery long, and you’re still in recovery. The priority is to regain your health. Besides, there are already plenty of things over there to think about, so don’t overstrain your brain.”

When Chiang Xiao advised him on these points, Jiang Shiheng couldn’t help but smile.

He knew she would say something like this, so he didn’t dare to tell her about his recent efforts to remember some things.

He also didn’t want to worry her too much.

”By the way, Dad, let me tell you about Lu Shuangshuang. It’s really a good thing you broke off the engagement with her early on...”

As Jiang Shiheng listened to her talk about Lu Shuangshuang and the Lu Family, a flash of something passed through his mind.

When he heard her mention how the Lu Family was helping to craft Lu Shuangshuang’s benevolent reputation, he couldn’t control the rise of his aversion towards the Lu Family.

This aversion was definitely not recent; he must have already disliked the Lu Family before.

Perhaps that was why he insisted on breaking off the engagement with Lu Shuangshuang without consulting Old Master Jiang.

There must have been something that led him to make such a decision at that time, a certain catalyst.

”...So, Dad, we now have someone over there in Pingzhou.”

Chiang Xiao had finished telling him about Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun called her and also mentioned that the locals in Pingzhou were discussing one thing: Sixth Young Master Jiang from D State had returned, and Lu Shuangshuang’s deep affection and loyalty were finally rewarded. She and the Sixth Young Master were now discussing marriage, and Lu Shuangshuang staying at the Jiang Family was because she had reunited with the Sixth Young Master and couldn’t bear to part with him.
