Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3010: Chapter 2946: It’s Done

Madam Cui’s heart condition is now under control, but in Jiang Xiao’s view, she probably has an emotional ailment. Emotional ailments are hard to cure, and if not completely treated, there’s a possibility of relapse in the future.

That’s why Jiang Xiao actually wants to know what the situation with the Cui Family is really like.

She feels uneasy because if the Cui Family is reliable, Madam Cui wouldn’t have had to stay in the sanatorium for years.

Though having a full house of children and grandchildren with both sons and daughters, she still has to live alone in the sanatorium, which seems somewhat off.

What if she relapses shortly after returning home?

There’s also Commander Cui.

To Jiang Xiao, Commander Cui also seems to have some old ailments, but he might have maintained good eating and living habits over the years, so those ailments have remained under control.

But who knows what would happen if he gets too busy for a time, disrupting his good eating and living habits.

For someone like Commander Cui, he would definitely try to suppress any discomfort secretly until it uncontrollably surfaces, and by then, the problem would be significant.

Jiang Xiao doesn’t understand why she’s so worried about these two.

Logically speaking, given their positions, these issues shouldn’t need her worries.

Meng Chaojun was a bit shocked when he heard her ask that, only then recalling carefully the state of Commander Cui he saw today.

He was a bit overly excited today; when he got the call about Commander Cui summoning him, he started feeling a bit feverish and didn’t immediately notice anything off about Commander Cui.

It wasn’t until Jiang Xiao asked that he remembered.

"I didn’t notice much, but when Commander Cui was almost done discussing with me, someone brought him a cup of water and two small white pills, telling Commander Cui it was time to take his medicine."

"Medicine? What kind?"

Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

Meng Chaojun felt a bit embarrassed, "I did ask at that time, and Commander Cui said it’s nothing—he just had a bit of food retention and his stomach was somewhat bloated, so the medicine was for digestion. After that, I didn’t ask further."

He actually didn’t dare to ask more.

Even though he’s at his age now, there’s always a sense of pressure in front of Commander Cui.

Food retention?

Jiang Xiao thought about it and felt something wasn’t right.

She used to have meals with Commander Cui before; she knew the dishes Commander Cui liked, which were generally healthy, nutritious, and easy to digest, so food retention shouldn’t be likely.

Moreover, Commander Cui would always take a walk after a meal to aid digestion, which is why she remarked that his eating and living habits were good.

"What’s wrong, is there some issue?" Meng Chaojun asked seeing her worried expression.

Jiang Xiao poured him tea and shook her head, "It’s nothing; I just haven’t seen Commander Cui for a while and heard from Brother Xinian that he’s been very busy lately, so I asked. By the way, Dad, did Commander Cui invite you over? Is there something going on?"

When she brought this up, Meng Chaojun coughed lightly, maintaining a serious demeanor, but Jiang Xiao could still see the sparkle in his eyes.

"The work we discussed with the Alliance Officials last time succeeded."

Meng Chaojun restrained his inner excitement, trying to keep his tone steady, "Tomorrow, I’ll officially return to work."
