Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2364: Chapter 2300: Never Let Your Guard Down

The small study room is a semi-open hall upon entering the door.

It has been designed as a learning space.

Wooden boards cover the floor, with two wooden tables joined in the middle, and wooden bookshelves on the wall inside, displaying quite a number of books.

There are several cushions placed on the floor.

Jiang Shiheng can still recall the image of each of them holding a book and quietly reading there.

Now, there’s a phone placed on a small table on one side.

He hasn’t had the mind to look at other parts in detail yet.

At this moment, what he is most concerned about is Chiang Xiao.

He must make a call to her quickly; he doesn’t know how anxious she is waiting.

When the phone rang, Chiang Xiao almost leapt up.

She had been sitting by the phone, sometimes staring blankly at it.

She guarded so idly that she eventually fell asleep.

Startled awake, she swiftly picked up the receiver, her voice somewhat hurried, "Hello?"

Ah Liu on the other side was taken aback by her anxious voice.

"Little, did something happen?" he asked instinctively.

At this, Old Master Jiang, Chen Baoshen, Cheng Cheng, and Sun Han all sharply looked over, fixing their eyes on the receiver in his hand, as if by doing so they could see Chiang Xiao and hear her voice.

Did something happen?

All their hearts tightened simultaneously.

Cheng Cheng stepped forward swiftly and sat beside Jiang Shiheng, leaning his head over, eager to hear the voice of Chiang Xiaoxiao on the other side.

Upon hearing Jiang Shiheng’s voice, Chiang Xiao’s heart, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed.

She exhaled deeply and said, "Dad, I’m fine! Do you have anything going on?"

Jiang Shiheng eased upon hearing her, "Your voice sounded so urgent just now, I thought something had happened."

"No, no," Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue and said, "I’m fine, just waiting for the call anxiously."

He hadn’t answered her yet about whether anything happened.

"I guessed right, you certainly didn’t go to school today, just waiting for dad’s call all the time."

Jiang Shiheng felt very warm inside, though he wanted to say that because she waited for a call again and didn’t go to school for another day, he couldn’t bring himself to blame her a bit, given how worried she was for him.

Fortunately, his daughter is indeed a genius; otherwise, with her way of attending school like this, her grades would be terribly bad.

"Dad, quickly tell me, is everything going smoothly? Are you alright? Is there anyone against you?" Chiang Xiao became anxious again.

"No, no, nothing at all, everything’s smooth, nobody is against me, everyone is very happy about my return, excited, and very friendly."

Jiang Shiheng didn’t elaborate, especially as his grandfather was there.

Old Master Jiang, despite having gone through all that, still holds hope for the Jiang Family, and would think that wanting harm to the Jiang Family is the work of a very few; rooting them out is enough.

So, if he were to list the entire Jiang Family as wary, Old Master Jiang would probably be heartbroken.

However, he knows Chiang Xiao is smart, so by saying this, she is surely able to understand his meaning.

Indeed, after a few seconds of silence over there, he heard Chiang Xiao’s voice.

"Hmph, those people are indeed sly old foxes, they can really act; who knows what nasty tricks they’re holding up in the dark, showing no sign. Dad, you must be extra careful, never let your guard down."
