Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3146: Chapter 3082: Constant Denial

"Jiang Xiao?"

What’s going on here?

Commander Cui was sitting in the back seat. Seeing him in a daze, he immediately said, "Get in the car, what are you standing there for?"

Cui Zhenyan had no choice but to get in the car.

"Officer Cui, I’m just inviting Commander Cui and you to come to my home as guests."

No matter what, she needed to make this happen. She certainly didn’t think too much about it. After leaving Cui Zhenyan’s office, she went straight to find Commander Cui and invited them to her house for lunch at noon, and Commander Cui actually agreed.

Cui Zhenyan was both amused and helpless.

He felt Jiang Xiao was really cunning, clearly worried that after she leaves, Gao Ming and the others would come knocking again, making it difficult to fulfill her request to delay for a day. So she simply dragged him out of the office.

In this way, when Gao Ming and the others come again later, they’ll find out that Cui Zhenyan isn’t even there.

Moreover, once they’re at Jiang Xiao’s home, who knows what tricks she might play to convince him to assign Zhongming Hall to them?

"What exactly is going on? I see Xiao Jiang is also preoccupied. Does this have something to do with you?" Commander Cui asked.

Cui Zhenyan didn’t say anything.

Originally, this wasn’t difficult to explain, but if he told Commander Cui, he would find out about Gao Ming’s threats and that matter too. He didn’t want to say anything.

"It’s nothing, Grandpa Cui. I just ran into Gao Ming earlier and almost got into a fight with him."

"You got into a fight with Gao Ming?" Commander Cui was surprised, "What would you even fight about? Gao Ming wouldn’t usually pick a fight with you, would he?"

"It’s because his daughter-in-law almost drowned my cat. I want them to apologize and compensate. Also, I want Gao Wei to apologize to Brother Xinian for insulting him. But Gao Ming disagreed and kept denying it. I was so angry that I argued with him."

Cui Zhenyan was sweating as he listened.

This was indeed the truth, nothing wrong about it, but the way she said it made it sound strange?

As if Gao Ming was completely unreasonable.

She didn’t mention how her own actions almost drove Gao Ming to fury.

But since Jiang Xiao was saying this to cover for him, he certainly wouldn’t be ungrateful and expose her.

"I’ve heard about this too. If what you say is true, then the Gao Family is indeed in the wrong." Commander Cui nodded.

"Of course I’m telling the truth."

"If it’s true, then you’re not afraid to argue." Commander Cui almost said, "If you can’t win the argument, I’ll help you." Fortunately, he thought it wasn’t quite appropriate, so he didn’t say it.

When they arrived at the courtyard house, both Commander Cui and Cui Zhenyan were a bit surprised.

"You live here?"

"Yes."

Commander Cui gave her a look but said nothing.

Jiang Xiao felt a bit sweaty.

Commander Cui’s look clearly meant he thought she was extravagant.

She originally wanted to say that two courtyards were connected, but seeing his expression, she decided against it and figured he’d find out once inside.

She reached out and pushed open the door.

Recently, with more people at home, the door was usually not locked during the day and left ajar, with a small gap for the wind to enter.

As soon as she entered, a white figure pounced on her.

Jiang Xiao reached out and caught Snow Ball in her arms.

Snow Ball had been very clingy to her these days, probably still traumatized from that near-drowning incident.

"Is this the cat that was almost drowned by Gao Family’s daughter-in-law?" Commander Cui looked at the white cat, which indeed was very pretty.

Could it be that the pet reflects the master?

"Meow!" Snow Ball meowed at them, baring its teeth and claws.
