Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2712: Chapter 2648: A Bit Strange

"Didn’t Xinian previously have Meng Sheng find someone to follow him? But those people have been following for so many days, and it doesn’t seem like they’ve discovered anything. That Nian Che, he’s been looking all over for shops recently, seems like he truly wants to stay in Capital City and is even planning to do business."

Staying in Capital City to do business?

Nian Che?

"No other actions?"

"They say none. He’s either at home or wandering around Capital City every day."

"His home?"

"Yes, he rented a place. I heard the environment is average, lots of people living there, a mixed crowd of fish and dragons, all sorts of folks."

Jiang Xiao always felt that someone with Nian Che’s somewhat twisted psychology couldn’t possibly be doing nothing. After facing setbacks here, it’s impossible for him to just put this aside and wholeheartedly focus on opening a shop and doing business.

"What about Nian Mutong? Is she living with him?"

"No, Xiao Tong... now that you mention Nian Mutong, Old Meng’s mood seems somewhat complicated. She’s not living with Nian Che. The people following Nian Che say they’ve never seen her at his place. The father and daughter have met a few times outside, but each time it looks like they part ways after arguing. They even said once they saw Nian Che slap Xiao Tong in public."

Old Meng paused and then said, "Oh, Meng Sheng said that Xinian originally instructed them to report to you, but they haven’t found you these days."

Jiang Xiao suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Regarding Nian Che’s matters, Meng Xinian is not here, and indeed they were supposed to report to her. But during this period, first due to Cheng Cheng’s matters, then Jiang Liu’s, she also secretly went to D State for a few days, making it difficult for the Meng family’s people to find her, seemingly unable to report.

She felt she had been somewhat negligent.

Should such a matter be left to an elderly person and an infirm one to handle?

"Grandpa, I’ll talk to Meng Sheng later. From now on, let them report these matters to me. Even if I’m not at home, I’ll find someone to follow up."

"I heard you hired a few bodyguards. Does that mean there’s danger around you? Is everything alright?" Old Meng seemed to think of something and quickly explained, "I didn’t mean to blame you for not handling Nian Che’s matters. He’s not doing much now, having someone follow him is fine."

"I understand. I’ve been a bit busy before, but it’s better now. I’ll be going back to City M in a few days; then I’ll likely stay in Capital City for a while without leaving. I’ll handle Nian Che’s matters then."

"Grandpa feels guilty, having to burden you youngsters with all these matters."

"What are you saying, Grandpa, we’re fine."

"By the way, you said you were going back to City M, is it because of your grandmother...?"

"Yes, my grandmother should be giving birth soon, I need to go back to be with them."

"Oh, oh, oh, that’s good news, good news. I’ll prepare a red envelope for you to take back for the baby."

"Alright, thank you, Grandpa."

Meng Sheng arrived quickly, and upon seeing Jiang Xiao here, he was immediately happy.

He indeed had accumulated some matters he wanted to tell Jiang Xiao, though he had reported some to Old Meng. But in fact, there were still some he had kept hidden, unable to decide whether to inform Old Meng or Meng Chaojun.

He had been anxious about not being able to find Jiang Xiao.

It was just a coincidence that the times he went to find Jiang Xiao, she was not there. So he thought Jiang Xiao had not been in Capital City during this period.
