Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3089: Chapter 3025: Truly Honored to Enter

"No need. Does the Jiang Family have the nerve to accept your betrothal gifts? The Jiang Family has not provided you with a single day of nurture and protection, so they are not qualified to accept such gifts. Not even I have the credentials."

"Dad..."

"Little, you need to know—when you get married, no one will be able to dictate you. Everything can be decided by you. As for the discussions Grandpa Meng wants to have with me, I can talk to him. I understand what you mean; you don’t need to worry."

Jiang Shiheng signaled Jiang Xiao to pass the phone to Old Meng.

Without hesitation, Jiang Xiao called Old Meng over to take the phone.

While they were talking on the phone, Jiang Xiao did not intend to listen in. She knew her father definitely wouldn’t let her be troubled in the slightest.

She walked out, looking around, "Snow Ball?"

The lazy cat usually wanted to eat at this time. She had taken it out for a stroll earlier and planned to feed it upon arriving at the Meng Family. But it had disappeared after she made a phone call.

"Snow Ball!"

Jiang Xiao searched the courtyard but didn’t see any sign of Snow Ball.

Aunt Meng happened to return from shopping, heard her calling for Snow Ball, and asked, "Jiang Xiao, is Snow Ball missing?"

"It shouldn’t be missing, probably ran out. I’ll go look for it."

With that, Jiang Xiao went out the door.

Snow Ball, now quite smart and clever, surely wouldn’t leave the large courtyard. Most likely, it wandered out to find food because it’s hungry.

She’s worried it might sneak into someone else’s home to eat.

She searched while calling Snow Ball’s name but circled the area without spotting Snow Ball’s trace.

By now, Jiang Xiao felt a bit anxious.

Could Snow Ball have snuck into someone’s home and gotten caught?

She continued looking and eventually arrived outside the Gao Family’s place.

In fact, since her first entry into this courtyard, she had never ventured near the Gao Family’s vicinity.

Her steps in the courtyard were only within the Meng Family Old Mansion and the playground behind it—she hadn’t set foot anywhere else.

But since Meng Xinian had roughly told her, she was aware of where the Gao Family was located.

"Snow Ball, where are you?"

"Beep Beep!"

A car horn sounded from behind.

Jiang Xiao turned around and saw a Jeep parked in front of her.

She squinted and met the gaze of someone inside the car.

It was... Gao Ming, Gao Wei’s father.

Gao Ming also seemed surprised to see Jiang Xiao.

Getting out of the car, he looked at Jiang Xiao, then at his own house.

"Xiao Chiang, are you here looking for..."

In front of Jiang Xiao, Gao Ming maintained the stern and commanding posture of an Alliance Officer.

"Looking for my cat," Jiang Xiao said.

"Your cat?" Gao Ming found it somewhat absurd. Would her cat run into their house? "You couldn’t be thinking of coming into our house to look for your cat, right?"

Jiang Xiao had searched the entire large courtyard. If Snow Ball hadn’t encountered any trouble, it would have surely come running upon hearing her call.

But her throat was nearly hoarse from calling, and Snow Ball was nowhere in sight. That’s why she suspected Snow Ball had indeed been caught by someone.

Now hearing Gao Ming’s seemingly absurd question, Jiang Xiao felt a stir in her heart, "If Alliance Officer Gao is agreeable, then I would like to come in and look."

"Ha ha."

Gao Ming’s smile was somewhat forced, as he looked at Jiang Xiao, walked towards the door, and said, "If Xiao Chiang is willing to walk through my Gao Family’s door, should I feel honored? Please, go ahead."

Jiang Xiao did not respond to his remark.

She would go in—she wasn’t scared to enter the Gao Family’s door?
