Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2107: Chapter 2043: Truly Suspicious

It’s a pity that he always believed a real man shouldn’t stoop to women’s pettiness, and he truly didn’t know how to deal with this old hag. If he got rough, she might fall ill and really take them down with her, unable to shake free.

Reasoning with her, she’s not someone who accepts reason.

So he just let her run rampant here, truly at a loss for what to do.

"I’ve already said."

"You’ve said it, then Meng Xinian, you still act this way? In our place, when meeting elders in the family for the first time, you must properly bring a mat, kneel down and kowtow to us, understand?"

Nian Tang said expressionlessly: "Mum, this kid grew up without a mother, let it be."

Upon hearing this, the old lady Nian instantly let it go with Meng Xinian, sighed and nodded, "You’re right. A child without a mother grows up lacking something indeed."

She beckoned Meng Xinian over and said, "Come here, I’m your mum’s Mumu, this is your mum’s cousin. You should call me Great Aunt, and him Uncle."

Great Aunt...

Meng Xinian’s mouth twitched, he walked over, sat down on the sofa opposite them, intertwined his fingers, and coldly looked at them.

"Don’t make relations with me, my grandmother has been deceased for many years, and there’s no uncle in the family. Aren’t you all just surnamed Nian?"

"Meng Xinian, I’ve always heard you’re stubborn. Now it truly seems so." Nian Tang eyed him once and said, "However, do you think we want to forge relations with you? Unfortunately, blood ties here won’t change, your mother and I still have the same grandfather."

"What’s the point of mentioning my mom now? If my mom appeared right now, would you dare to say to her you’re her cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Nian Tang’s face slightly changed.

Meng Xinian truly wasn’t afraid to bring up his mother.

Wasn’t it said that mentioning his mother was a wound to him?

He planned to continuously mention Nian Cheng, so when Meng Xinian got angry enough to lose his senses, that would be the time to trap and trick him.

Who knew Meng Xinian himself mentioned his mother with an unchanged expression.

Could it be that the information he gathered was wrong?

Clearly, Nian Mutong said so before, was that dead girl lying to him?

Thinking of this, Nian Tang added: "Do you think we wronged your mother? Yes, it’s true, when she was sick, we didn’t visit her, but don’t you know how chaotic the times were then? Even if there wasn’t a war, it wasn’t peaceful. Those years were truly turbulent. We didn’t even dare leave the town, how would we dare come to the Capital City?"

The old lady Nian also softened her expression and followed up: "That’s right, it truly wasn’t our fault back then. Your mother didn’t blame us either, otherwise, how would she send those things to us?"

Meng Xinian’s face darkened.

"I’m suspicious whether the things were sent to you."

He said in a deep voice, "Back then, my mother had a good sister in that town, who grew up with her. Later, I heard she was reported, framed, and persecuted to death, her house raided, most things were looted. My mother’s belongings were very likely sent to her."

After saying this, he stared at the old lady Nian with lightning eyes.

Sure enough, he caught a hint of shock and panic flash through the old lady Nian’s eyes.

Although it was brief, he caught it.
