Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 568: Chapter 569 This Guy Comes Knocking on the Door

”Chiang Xiaoxiao?”

”Ah!” Chiang Xiao was startled and jumped as if an electric current had suddenly touched her nerves. She instantly turned around, forgetting that there were steps behind her and was about to tumble down.

”Xiaoxiao!” The Chiang Songhai behind her looked up, and in his alarm, he dropped what he was carrying and stretched out his arms to catch her.

But in the last second, an arm caught her waist.

Chiang Xiao still kept the posture of falling backward; in fact, her hand had already quickly grabbed the railing, but if Meng Xinian hadn’t caught her, she might not have fallen down the steps, but she could have possibly twisted her ankle.

”Did you see a ghost or something?” Meng Xinian looked at her through gritted teeth and with a foul expression.

”Huh? Xinian? What are you doing here?” Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were both relieved to see the near miss and hurried up the steps. Only then did they see that the person who had saved Chiang Xiao was actually Meng Xinian, and both exclaimed in unison with surprise and joy.

Meng Xinian had been so focused on Chiang Xiao that now he also noticed the elders and couldn’t help but soften his expression a bit.

”Grandpa, grandma, you’ve come too?”

”Hey, Tyrant Meng, could you let go of me first?” Chiang Xiao called out.

Meng Xinian looked down at her, his hand slightly loosening, ”Let go? Are you sure? If I let go now, you’ll definitely fall down!”

As his hand loosened slightly, Chiang Xiao almost fell, which frightened her into subconsciously grabbing the front of his shirt. ”I mean, pull me up first!”

”Big Master” indeed.

Could she have possibly meant for him to just let go?

This man was definitely doing it on purpose.

In that moment, Chiang Xiao made it clear to herself that the man was definitely angry with her, and not just a little—his face looked like he was ready to settle a score with her.

”That’s right, pull Xiaoxiao up first,” Chiang Songhai said.

With the elders present, Meng Xinian couldn’t vent his anger, but he wasn’t in a hurry anymore. He exerted a little strength in his arm and pulled Chiang Xiao up.

As soon as Chiang Xiao steadied her feet, she immediately let go of his shirt and pushed him away, stepping back herself and smiling at him, ”Brother Xinian, what a coincidence, huh? You live here too?”

”Yeah, it is a coincidence, truly a coincidence.” Chiang Songhai added, ”I was just thinking about telling Xiaoxiao that in the next few days we should find a time to go with her grandmother and visit you in the Alliance District.”

”Really?” Meng Xinian glanced at Chiang Xiao and noticed that though it had been only about a month and a half since he had last seen her, the girl seemed to have grown taller and her features appeared more developed.

At her age, it’s probably normal to change appearance after a short period of absence, right?

It’s the peak of her growing years.

”Grandpa, I was just worried that even if I mentioned it, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t agree to take you to see me,” he said with an implied meaning.

Was this girl avoiding him? It would be strange if she willingly took them to the Alliance District to find him.

He looked at Chiang Xiao, his gaze brimming with the sentiment of ”finally got you in my grasp,” making Chiang Xiao’s scalp tingle.

What exactly is this all about?

Why does it feel like the tables have turned? Why does he look so righteous as if he has a bone to pick with her, while she’s the one feeling guilty? She has no reason to feel guilty!

Chiang Xiao glared sharply.

But Meng Xinian had already moved on, walking over to take the things from grandma’s hands and asking, ”Grandpa, what’s your room number? Let’s go inside to talk, it’s cooler with the fan on and the windows open.”

”Ask Xiaoxiao for that, she has the keys,” Chiang Songhai turned to look at Chiang Xiao, who was just standing there dazedly at the top of the stairs. What was she doing not following them, standing at the staircase entrance?
