Chapter 1039 - 1039 1040 What Nonsense

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1040: What Nonsense Chapter 1039: Chapter 1040: What Nonsense “What nonsense are you talking about!”

Old Meng was instantly furious upon hearing this.

What does this mean?

Is this to say that everything is Chiang Songhai’s fault?

“Dad, you care about Xinian, but do you know what’s best for him?” Meng Chaojun grew angrier as he spoke, “You are treating him like a token of your gratitude! This isn’t good for him, you are harming him! Do you know how important it is for a man to marry a virtuous wife?”

Old Meng’s eyes nearly popped out with anger.

He pointed at Meng Chaojun, too furious to speak.

Chiang Xiao had originally planned to endure it since she came to the Meng Family as a future daughter-in-law.

She should give some face to her future father-in-law.

But she overestimated her patience.

She simply couldn’t stand it.

“Uncle, do you mean my grandfather should just grant favors without expecting anything in return, and quietly walk away?” her voice was a bit cold, “However, back then my grandfather did indeed do just that, he never took the child betrothal seriously either.”

“He didn’t take it seriously? Then tell me, why are you standing here as Xinian’s fiancée now?” Meng Chaojun frowned, his tone sharpening.

“Meng Xinian and I met and planned to get engaged without knowing each other’s identities or backgrounds, it was all coincidental.”

It truly was coincidental between them.

They decided to get engaged as part of a play, only to find out that they were betrothed as children.

Maybe the coincidence was too much for anyone to believe.

Indeed, Meng Mingjun didn’t believe it.

“Just now I thought you had a decent demeanor, looked clear-eyed, now I realize, you are quite scheming, girl.” Meng Chaojun felt he had been deceived by Chiang Xiao’s first impression. “Where do so many coincidences come from in this world? Tell me, are you from a rural area?”

“I am.”

“Then your family’s living conditions and financial situation must be really bad?” Meng Chaojun asked further.

Old Meng was so angry he was about to say something when Chiang Xiao gently pulled him back, preventing him from interjecting.

She looked at Meng Chaojun, nodding straightforwardly, “My family’s living conditions and financial situation are indeed very poor, I am from a poor small mountain village.”

“Isn’t that clear then? Do you think Xinian would get engaged to a girl with your background if you hadn’t pursued him? Meng Chaojun was now always imagining if his son was forced to get engaged to a girl with such conditions, how could he possibly feel okay?”

“Meng Chaojun! What nonsense are you talking?” Old Meng jumped up angrily.

Chiang Xiao patted his arm and quietly soothed him.

“Grandpa, it’s okay, I won’t be upset.”

Meng Chaojun nearly got himself upset upon hearing this.

Who is getting upset to this extent? It’s him, alright!

“Let me tell you, Meng Chaojun, Little is doing very well! Do you think the Meng family is so great? You are not even comparable to Little!” Old Meng said, huffing angrily.

“Dad, can you let me talk to Chiang Xiao properly?” Meng Chaojun felt it necessary to clear things up, of course, persuading this girl to leave his son was essential too.

“Talk, what’s there to talk about?” Old Meng felt he had been too optimistic before, his son’s mind was indeed already damaged. “Little, come, grandpa will show you around, take a look at Xinian’s room, ignore him!”

As he spoke, he began pulling Chiang Xiao away.

Turning his head, he saw Duan Qingqing coming down the stairs.
