Chiang Xiao previously thought that Chen Zhu was not Chiang Qingzhu.
She believed that her biological mother Chiang Qingzhu was truly dead, and that Chen Zhu was another unrelated person.
So, she also told Ah Liu that Chiang Qingzhu was dead.
Ah Liu trusted Chiang Xiao, so even though he might have had the ability to investigate the truth, up until now, he probably hadnât looked into this matter.
He might have forgiven what Chiang Qingzhu did to him back then because the existence of Chiang Xiao made him not see that incident as humiliating and embarrassing.
But what if he knew the true nature of Chiang Qingzhu?
What if he knew that the woman, who is Chiang Xiaoxiaoâs biological mother, was still alive and had been entangled with a married man all these years?
If he knew how much hardship Chiang Xiaoxiao endured because of her, how many times she felt heartbroken and sad?
Meng Xinian sighed silently in his heart.
He wanted to tell Ah Liu the truth, but he had to discuss it with Little first.
No matter how close his relationship with Little was, he had to give her the utmost respect. Without her consent, he wouldnât make decisions on his own.
"Yes," he said to Ah Liu, "there is an insensible person who might cause trouble over there, but itâs not a big deal. Iâve already asked someone to handle it."
Ah Liu nodded his head.
"I heard Littleâs grandmother... is pregnant?"
"...Yes."
"Then we need to pay attention and make sure nothing happens."
"I know, Iâll make sure they watch over it," Meng Xinian changed the subject. "Today, Littleâs granduncle and others will also arrive in City M. They might come with her grandparents to Capital City."
Originally, their intention was to handle this quietly, but Chiang Xiaoxiao only had a few relatives, and she was very close to them in the past, they even lived together. Knowing that Chiang Xiaoxiao was getting married, it wasnât reasonable to not let them come and celebrate first.
So, Ge Dejun and the others should also come over.
"Itâs good to have a lively atmosphere." Ah Liu nodded and said, "But I havenât even met Littleâs grandparents yet. As a junior, shouldnât I prepare some gifts for them? Do you have time today?"
"...No."
He had to return to Anbu Town today.
In order to have a few more days off after the wedding, heâll have to be on duty during the New Year.
Anyway, since Chiang Xiaoxiao didnât return, staying here and staying in the army wasnât much different.
"Alright then, Iâll wait for Little to come back and then let her accompany me to buy gifts. It should still be in time."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
Meng Xinian went out to open the door and saw Cheng Cheng, looking travel-worn, couldnât help but be taken aback.
"Hey, brother-in-law, Happy New Year."
Meng Xinianâs face turned dark.
This guy always made him want to punch him the moment he opened his mouth.
Being called brother-in-law wasnât really pleasing to him.
"Brother-in-law, why is your face so dark during the New Year, are you pretending to be Bao Qingtian?" Cheng Cheng grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.
"Why did you come?"
"Going home for New Year, whatâs wrong with that?"
"Did Ah Cheng come?"
Hearing Ah Liuâs voice, Cheng Cheng sidestepped and walked past Meng Xinian.
"Yes, godfather."
Meng Xinianâs eyes flickered.
Cheng Cheng coming over so suddenly wasnât just for celebrating the New Year at home, so did the investigation he previously ordered have some progress?
He closed the door and returned to the living room.
Ah Liu was quite happy to see Cheng Cheng, "Actually, I just have something to discuss with you. I originally thought about telling you over the phone or writing a letter, but I didnât expect you to come."
"What good news do you have for me, godfather?"
"Whether itâs good news, youâll have to judge for yourself after hearing it."
