CHAPTER 1827: CHAPTER 1763: GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT

Meng Xinian said, "The old master is right, but I will strive hard in the future."

"Of course you should strive hard, young people should fight and aim upwards. However, right now it is indeed not suitable for you and Little to get married. You are already engaged, so let’s leave it at that for now. The marriage can be discussed after Little and her father return to the Jiang Family, and acknowledge their ancestors. What do you think?"

Old Master Jiang spoke, his gaze carrying authority, looking at Meng Xinian.

After holding a high position for so many years, when he sets himself up, his sense of pressure is still very apparent.

But Meng Xinian did not retreat at all.

Facing Old Master Jiang’s gaze, he said, "Old Master, I cannot abide by your opinion on this matter. Little and I have known each other for five years. We understand each other very well; we’ve faced life and death together, and strongly desire to be together. No matter what, no one can stop us."

Old Master Jiang’s eyes slightly sharpened.

This young man indeed has extraordinary courage. Does he know that with just one word from him, he could no longer even be an officer?

However, considering he is Chiang Xiao’s fiancé, Old Master Jiang held back from making any threats, simply lowering his voice, he said, "But you cannot completely dismiss what I said earlier, right?"

Ah Liu chimed in, saying, "Grandfather, leave the Jiang Family’s matters to me. Little is my daughter, and no matter what, I only want her to be happy. The Jiang Family’s affairs, I will handle them. They don’t have too much to do with Little’s lifelong matters. Whether or not Little acknowledges her ancestry has no impact on her marriage, whether she marries or not, she is my daughter, and that will never change."

Before Old Master Jiang could say more, he added, "Moreover, I’ve already talked with Old Meng. We’ve settled the marriage; they will obtain the certificate first but won’t hold the ceremony for the time being."

Old Master Jiang paused for a moment in silence, then said, "Not holding the ceremony for now? So, the engagement will remain undisclosed for the time being?"

"Yes." Ah Liu nodded, considering it undisclosed for now. He and Old Meng had discussed this matter, contemplating Jiang Xiao’s education; publicizing it now wouldn’t be beneficial.

Old Master Jiang said, "Then I’ll reconsider it a bit."

Upon hearing that he would consider it, Meng Xinian’s brows raised, just about to speak.

Ah Liu had already reached behind him and gently gestured, signaling him not to speak further.

Meng Xinian swallowed back his words.

Anyway, no matter what Old Master Jiang says, he and Chiang Xiaoxiao will definitely marry on schedule.

It used to be just the two of them; they made their own decisions, but now there are more people trying to interfere.

However, he trusts Chiang Xiaoxiao. Once she decides on something, no one will change her mind.

Besides, he firmly believes that in Chiang Xiaoxiao’s heart, his position remains high, second perhaps only to Ah Liu.

This is a confidence Officer Meng still holds.

Jiang Yingqiong, seeing they hadn’t quarreled, slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was rather pleased about Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao is part of their Jiang Family, and Li Hanzhong also values Meng Xinian. Once they become family, the relationship could be even stronger.

Each was burdened with considerable thoughts, and no more was said.

Meanwhile, Chiang Xiao and Chen Baoshen discussed the prescriptions for Old Master Jiang and Ah Liu, deciding to act separately. Renzhi Hall will provide the medicines they can, and Chiang Xiao will handle a few difficult-to-find ones.
