Chapter 1468: Chapter 1470: Missing Her Already Chapter 1468: Chapter 1470: Missing Her Already Old Tang fell silent.
How should I put itâŠ
âHow long has it been since Xinian last made a call home?â
âA long time. He resents us, Old Tang. He truly resents us.â
Inwardly, Old Tang scorned, with what you did back then, itâs only normal for him to resent you. Chiang Xiao was such a good girl, moving into the Meng Family household, helping out with all kinds of chores, even assisting Meng Chaojun in finding medicine. Iâve heard she expended a lot of energy and thought on this, but how did Meng Chaojun treat her?
Anyoneâs heart would grow cold.
Not to mention how he came to know these things, isnât that all thanks to the person from Renzhi Hall?
That person truly couldnât stand the injustice done to Chiang Xiao. Now that Meng Chaojunâs illness can no longer be hidden, Chen Baoshen has also revealed the efforts Chiang Xiao had put into climbing mountains and foraging for medicinal herbs.
They speak of how such a fine young lady was driven away by the people of the Meng Family.
Now who doesnât know that the Meng Family angered away a granddaughter-in-law so capable and good?
The Meng Family residence is now cold and deserted. Those who have seen Meng Chaojun in the hospital feel he looks a decade older, his face swollen from chemotherapy, wearing an old manâs hat, looking utterly defeated.
Moreover, because of the issue with Duan Qingqing, he has been avoiding people; whenever he encounters someone, he hangs his head and folds his arms, lacking the courage even to meet someoneâs gazeâa completely different man from the vibrant and handsome one he once was.
Keep in mind, Xinian was once famously handsome in the compound and the Alliance District. As his father, Meng Chaojun in his current state, standing beside Xinian, itâs likely no one would believe they are father and son.
But, could Old Tang say any of this to Old Meng?
He felt that Old Meng had already suffered enough blows.
Old Tang could only offer comforting words: âXinian is a good kid, even if he harbors some resentment now, he will surely come back in the future.â
âReally?â Old Mengâs eyes lit up, âOld Tang, do you truly believe that?â
âYes.â
âI think so too, speaking of Little, that child is indeed good. You donât know how much she helped Chaojun and me in the beginning. Itâs just that at the time, we truly didnât appreciate her, we were oblivious to our good fortune,â Old Meng sighed deeply, âWe hurt that child too.â
âLittle Chiang, sheâŠâ Old Tang saw Old Meng finish speaking and eagerly look at him, finally understanding what he meant.
It meant that it wasnât enough to say Xinian would return; he was also hoping for Old Tang to say that Chiang Xiao would return as well.
But whether Chiang Xiao would return to the Meng Family or not, Old Tang really couldnât say for certain.
That young girl had quite a temper.
âWhen the time comes, let Xinian sweet-talk her properly.â Thatâs all he could say.
Old Meng sighed again.
His eldest grandson had always been on Littleâs side, never tolerating the slightest grievance against her.
Actually, it might be better for him to apologize properly than for Xinian to do the sweet-talking.
Besides, he really did appreciate the time Little had stayed at home, despite the commotion. Little truly treated him wellâmaking tea for him, preparing snacks, and when she saw him wake up unwell, she would go straight to help Aunt Guo make porridge. And no kidding, the porridge she made would always invigorate him.
It has been a long time since he had tasted the tea and porridge made by Chiang Xiao.
Those snacks, Chiang Xiao hadnât sent them over again either.
Of course, it wasnât just about those thingsâhe really missed Chiang Xiao, the child who was always full of vitality. Sometimes, seeing her brimming with Essence, Qi, and Spirit made him feel like there was hope in life.
