Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2784: Chapter 2720: Who’s Getting Anxious?

”Has Xiao Jiang arrived?”

As soon as she spoke, Jiang Xiao was momentarily stunned.

But she quickly thought that Director Wei might have already notified Old Madam Wei, so she hurriedly stepped forward.

”Hello, Old Madam Wei, I’m Jiang Xiao.”

”Come, come, come in quickly, I’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time.” Old Madam Wei beckoned her over.

Jiang Xiao walked in and found that although Old Madam Wei was quite elderly, one could still faintly see traces of beauty on her face.

It seemed that she must have been quite a beauty in her younger days.

As soon as she approached, Old Madam Wei reached out and held her hand, gently patting the back of her hand, looking at her with a smile.

”I’ve always heard that you’re a very pretty young girl, now where’s the lie?”

Jiang Xiao was taken aback, then heard her continue, ”You’re clearly very pretty!”

This old lady had quite a sense of humor.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but smile.

”Old Madam, you startled me, I thought I had become ugly.”

”Not ugly, not ugly, if someone says you’re ugly, then who could be considered good-looking?” Old Madam Wei laughed, then looked at Ding Haijing and Guan Tiezhu.

”Which one of you is Xiao Ding?”

Ding Haijing quickly stepped forward.

”Grandma Wei, I’m Ding Haijing.”

”Oh, oh, another spirited young man. I’ve heard Yixi mention you before as well.”

”Grandma Wei, this is Xiao Guan, he drove us here.”

”Good, good, you’re all very nice. It’s been a long time since I’ve had guests, especially young people like you.” Old Madam Wei still held Jiang Xiao’s hand and didn’t let go until she led her inside. She invited them to sit down and had Jiang Xiao sit beside her.

After sitting down, she patted the back of Jiang Xiao’s hand again and said, ”Xiao Jiang, do you know when I first heard about you?”

”Uh, Old Madam Wei, I don’t know.”

”It was my son who mentioned you, saying he met a young girl and thought she’d make a perfect granddaughter-in-law for me!”

Oops.

Jiang Xiao almost spat out her drink.

So, Director Wei said that, didn’t he?

That must’ve been quite some time ago, and after Wei Lengmian met them a few more times, he should have known about the deep feelings between her and Meng Xinian, and naturally wouldn’t say such things anymore.

Still, upon hearing those words now, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

She seemed to have a favorable connection with the elders?

If Meng Xinian heard this, he’d probably scowl again.

”Old Madam Wei, I haven’t even met Junior Alliance Officer Wei yet. I’m sure Junior Alliance Officer Wei can find someone better than me.”

”That’s hard,” Old Madam Wei shook her head, sighed, and said, ”That boy always says he wants to dedicate his lifetime to the sea and the Alliance, and he shows no interest in young girls. I think in the future, I’ll just find someone for him, then have him brought straight back to get married.”

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Ding Haijing laughed as well next to her.

”Grandma Wei, Yixi will find a wife in the future, so don’t worry too much.”

”I’m not worried, I’m just anxious, I want to hold great-grandchildren. When people get old, this is often what they want, you young ones wouldn’t understand.”

Old Madam Wei turned to Ding Haijing, ”Xiao Ding, you’re about the same age as Yixi, aren’t you? Do you have a girlfriend?”

Why did this turn on him?

Ding Haijing immediately shook his head, ”No, no, I’m not in a hurry.”

”You’re not in a hurry, but isn’t your dad?”

”My dad...”

The mention of this made him somewhat annoyed.
