Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2836: Chapter 2772: Neither Fish nor Fowl

However, just after she finished her lunch, she received a call from Madam Cui.

"Xiao Jiang, could you come to the nursing home and keep me company this afternoon?"

Madam Cui called so soon again, which took Jiang Xiao by surprise.

As for the situation on Meng Xinian’s side, she tried not to think about it too much.

Because she knew she couldn’t change anything, now that he’s in Ke Ku Li, he should rely on himself.

Whether he should take the mission or how to protect his safety after accepting it, Jiang Xiao believed he could handle it.

Even if she thought this way, she still secretly worried about him.

Now that Madam Cui had called, Jiang Xiao also felt like going over to ask if she knew the situation in Ke Ku Li.

As a family member, wanting to know the situation in a war-torn country is quite reasonable, right?

Ding Haijing drove her to the nursing home.

Now, going out indeed felt much more relaxed than before.

"Without the Hu person, even the air in the Capital feels sweet." Jiang Xiao remarked, looking at the blue sky outside.

Ding Haijing couldn’t help but laugh.

Isn’t that an exaggeration?

"Are you going to paint for Madam Cui this afternoon?" he asked.

The car carried many art supplies that Jiang Xiao brought.

"She mentioned it last time, so I’ll bring them along, just in case she needs me to paint."

Upon arriving at the nursing home, Jiang Xiao barely showed her face and reported her name, and the gate guard let her through.

"Looks like Commander Cui has informed the guard post," said Ding Haijing.

Jiang Xiao nodded.

She was thinking that if she could meet Commander Cui, she should thank him, but didn’t expect to actually see him!

Commander Cui was sitting on the sofa, watching the young girl being led in by Xiao Mu.

Wearing a white shirt tucked into a navy-blue skirt, with white little shoes, her hair tied up in a ponytail, and a navy-blue silk ribbon butterfly on top.

The girl’s complexion was fair, exuding a pink sheen; her eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of bravery between her brows, and her manner of walking was straightforward, with a graceful and upright posture.

Truly an exceptionally beautiful girl, one who leaves a striking impression.

To be honest, upon first sight of Jiang Xiao, Commander Cui felt quite a good first impression of her.

But thinking of Meng Xinian, of Jiang Xiao’s purpose at the nursing home, that favorable impression vanished into thin air.

His dislike was for guards who had too many thoughts!

Guards should be full of passion, upright, devoted to training, and on the battlefield, fearless of bloodshed and sacrifice, having a wholeheartedly patriotic heart.

What does someone like Meng Xinian count as?

In the past, he actually heard some praises about Meng Xinian, initially thinking he was a promising talent, but now he doesn’t think so!

Now, it feels like all those good impressions have been thoroughly shattered!

Jiang Xiao initially thought she would meet Madam Cui, but didn’t expect to see a gallant and imposing elder, and halted immediately.

She looked towards Xiao Mu, waiting for him to introduce her.

Although she had guessed it was Commander Cui, she didn’t dare to call him randomly before confirmation.

Xiao Mu whispered, "Miss Jiang, this is Commander Cui."

Jiang Xiao promptly saluted Commander Cui.

"Hello, Commander Cui."

She learned this salute from Meng Xinian, and the gesture was very proper.

But Commander Cui’s face turned grim.

"Improper!"

Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
