Chapter 2117: Chapter 2053: So There Was Once a Connection

It turns out that her past life did intersect with Meng Xinian’s.

But back then, she truly had no idea.

“I’m still not entirely sure, so I need to go verify it. I have to get ahead of them, so I’m leaving now, Brother Xinian.”

Chiang Xiao said this and had already dashed out.

She didn’t want Meng Xinian to follow, fearing that if anything changed, it would leave him disappointed and suspicious of her.

After all, she couldn’t explain how she knew where the diary was.

Also, she indeed wanted to get the diary before the Nian family mother and son could.

In her past life, she didn’t know if that night, the Nian family mother and son really managed to coerce Meng Xinian to obtain the other half of the Meng Family Old Mansion.

But she knew, ultimately they didn’t hand the diary over to Meng Xinian.

Otherwise, the later events wouldn’t have happened.

She wouldn’t have gotten the diary by accident and crossed paths with him.

Watching Chiang Xiao run off, the three generations of Meng men stood stunned, unable to recover for quite some time.

After a while, Old Meng finally found his voice.

“Xinian, did I just hear wrong? Did Little say she knows where the diary is?”

How could this be possible?

Meng Chaojun’s lips moved, just about to speak, when Meng Xinian, without a word, walked back into the house and soon came out carrying two pieces of luggage, striding over to the trash disposal area, where he tossed them both.

Clean and decisive.

Old Meng looked on, dumbfounded.

He truly couldn’t bring himself to just toss someone’s luggage away like that.

But seeing Meng Xinian’s dark expression now, he wisely chose not to say anything.

Meng Xinian stood before them, speaking in a deep voice, “I hope you learn from this and don’t just let anyone in anymore.”

This place isn’t somewhere just anyone can enter; without their permission, people wouldn’t normally be let in at the gate.

So, who’s to blame?

“We also….” also thought since they were Nian family….

“No excuse,” Meng Xinian said, “I don’t want Little to have to come here just to deal with such people and matters again.”

Why should she come all this way to help them deal with those people at this late hour?

“Grandpa understands, we won’t let these people in anymore,” Old Meng quickly said.

Meng Xinian was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m heading back.”

Old Meng hastily called after him, “Aren’t you staying here to wait for Little?”

He just got back, and he’s leaving again?

Meng Xinian said, “She’ll go back over there.”

Chiang Xiaoxiao would surely understand him; after getting the items, she wouldn’t come back here.

So why would he stay here?

Tonight, because of his mother’s diary, he had some suspicions and didn’t want to stay here and see Meng Chaojun.

Watching him leave, and seeing the vast mansion left with only the two of them, Old Meng felt an uncomfortable blockage in his heart.

“Let’s go inside and rest early.”

He turned to go inside, his back slightly hunched.

Meng Chaojun stood at the door for a long time, until his hands were cold, before he moved.

The road in front of the door was long since devoid of Meng Xinian’s figure, yet in his mind, he vaguely saw Meng Xinian at two or three years old.

When he came home, the little Meng Xinian ran towards him, smiling and unsteady in his steps.

“Daddy, Daddy!”

Back then, his son also called to him like that.
