Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1564: Clearly Wanting a Younger Wife (Extra for Fans +2)

”Mr. Kuang, we’re shamelessly asking you for one thing: from now on, please stop contacting Qingzhu.”

”Dad! What are you trying to do?” Chiang Qingzhu widened her eyes, staring at Chiang Songhai in disbelief. ”Why are you trying to break me and Brother Kan apart?”

”Chiang Qingzhu!” Chiang Songhai couldn’t hold it in any longer and stood up abruptly. ”Mr. Kuang has a wife. You’re following him around without clarity, status, or propriety—don’t you care about your own dignity?”

Chiang Qingzhu was startled, her face turning pale. ”I—I haven’t lost my dignity! My relationship with Brother Kan is clean and upright...”

Chiang Songhai: ”...”

He suddenly felt utterly powerless, even his eyes began to sting with heat, as though he wanted to cry.

Could his daughter really be this foolish?

Why couldn’t she understand such a simple matter?

Kuang Kanzhi quickly stood up as well. ”Uncle, please don’t get overly emotional, don’t raise your voice to scare Ah Zhu. Uncle, Aunt, it’s like this: if you two elders can rest assured, let me make a sincere promise right here. Entrust Ah Zhu to me, and I’ll certainly take even better care of her in the future. As for my family’s situation, I’ll make proper arrangements—it won’t let my wife harm Ah Zhu. Or, I can buy a separate house for Ah Zhu so she doesn’t have to live with my wife and daughter. Would that work for you?”

Listening on the staircase for quite some time, Meng Xinian’s face darkened upon hearing this. He tightly held Chiang Xiao’s hand.

”I really didn’t expect Brother Yun Xian’s uncle to be such a hypocritical and shameless person.”

Kuang Kanzhi’s words clearly revealed his intent—to keep Chiang Qingzhu as a concubine, a secondary wife, and even maintain good relations with her parents and family.

One thing Meng Xinian was certain of: if it weren’t for Chiang Xiaoxiao, Kuang Kanzhi definitely wouldn’t care for such ”relatives.”

It made him feel even more protective of Chiang Xiaoxiao.

”Hmph.” Chiang Xiao let out a cold laugh. ”His shamelessness is something I’ve already seen firsthand in the Capital City.”

”What’s your plan?”

Having seen what kind of person Chiang Qingzhu truly was, Meng Xinian had completely abandoned the thought of persuading Chiang Xiao to reconcile with her mother. On the contrary, he was already devising ways to ensure this kind of woman wouldn’t impose on Xiao’s life.

Otherwise, the troubles in Xiaoxiao’s life would only keep piling up.

All those things like propriety and filial duty meant nothing compared to how much he cared for Xiao.

”Let’s go out.”

Chiang Xiao had listened enough—if she had to endure more of Chiang Qingzhu and Kuang Kanzhi’s exchange, she feared she wouldn’t even stomach her dinner.

They appeared side by side, startling Kuang Kanzhi and Chiang Qingzhu. The two of them jumped upright.

”Xi...Xinian?”

”Xiaoxiao? Aren’t you supposed to be attending school in the Capital City?”

Kuang Kanzhi hadn’t anticipated encountering Meng Xinian here. Strictly speaking, Meng Xinian was of a younger generation, given the close relationship between Meng Xinian and Kuang Yunxian. Having Meng overhear what was said just now left Kuang Kanzhi somewhat embarrassed.

Chiang Qingzhu, on the other hand, felt rattled upon seeing Chiang Xiao, unable to meet her gaze directly.

For some reason, whenever she faced the eyes of her own daughter, she always felt a peculiar sense of dread.

Chiang Xiao walked over and sat down across from them, her tone indifferent: ”Sit.”

Just those two words carried an imposing aura, leaving Kuang Kanzhi and Chiang Qingzhu unsettled as they hurriedly sat down.

Meng Xinian walked over but didn’t sit. He simply stood behind Chiang Xiao, resting a hand lightly on her shoulder.

Chiang Qingzhu met his eyes and felt another jolt of fear.

This was her son-in-law? Why did his gaze feel even colder than Xiaoxiao’s?
