Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2975: Chapter 2911: Treating Her Like She’s Invisible

At the end of the corridor, when they reached a room, Director Fan felt around in his pocket but couldn’t find anything for a while.

”Little Xi, help me open the door. I remember bringing my key, so why don’t I have it now?”

Jiang Xiao: ”...”

She watched as Meng Xinian used the hairpin again to unlock the door and pushed it open.

Stepping from the darkness outside into the light-filled room, Jiang Xiao squinted her eyes slightly to adjust. She hadn’t yet had time to take in the room before hearing Professor Fan exclaim.

”Little Xi, who is this? Did you bring a friend?”

Jiang Xiao: ”...”

So he hadn’t noticed her all this time?

So all this while she’s been invisible?

It was the first time Jiang Xiao felt she had so little presence.

”Uncle Fan, this is my wife, Jiang Xiao.”

”You’re married already? When did that happen?”

”Not yet. Didn’t I tell you the last time I was here? I’ll be getting married at the end of August. You are welcome to come and have a celebratory drink.”

”Hello, Uncle Fan.”

Jiang Xiao greeted him.

Director Fan glanced at her, nodded, ”She looks quite nice, but I won’t be attending the wedding banquet. Little Xi, you know I don’t like such occasions or socializing. It’s more comfortable doing research here alone.”

”I understand, I won’t force you. I’ll send you some wedding candy then.” Meng Xinian knew his habits well, so he didn’t insist.

”Alright, make sure to send more candy; I like sweets.” Director Fan looked around and pointed, ”Take the things off the chairs yourselves and have a seat. Remember to put them back afterwards so I won’t forget.”

Is this really happening?

Jiang Xiao watched Meng Xinian move a stack of documents from a chair onto the floor and followed suit, moving the documents off another chair. Only then did they have a place to sit.

Director Fan had a chair of his own.

After sitting down, he handed a stack of materials to Meng Xinian, ”Take a look at what I’ve found from that object you gave me. But Little Xi, where did you find it? I’ve never seen anything so intricate; it could be called mysterious.”

Looking at the materials, some were filled with dense characters and formulas that they couldn’t decipher.

”These are some audio simulations, and there are some symbolic markings that, using specific methods, can be converted into images. The crystal records and stores a considerable amount of content that is quite complex. Even after researching for quite some time, I’ve only uncovered a tiny portion.”

Director Fan explained to them.

”Was Dai Zhongwen able to find and draw out a pattern from here?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Director Fan paused, ”You know Dai Zhongwen?”

Then Meng Xinian recounted Dai Zhongwen’s story, prompting Director Fan to slap the table, ”Outrageous, outrageous! He sneaked into my room, and although I drove him out, I didn’t expect him to take things with him! This guy, I was too lenient by just driving him out!”

”Do you know how much he took with him?”

”He didn’t take much material. At the time, I wanted him to be an assistant to help draw out the patterns. But I discovered he wasn’t very capable, and after stealing my materials, I drove him away. So, it seems he did complete a drawing?”
