Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 812 - 736: Does Chen Haichang Know Han Yi?
"That night, Little Star needed to go to the bathroom, but she was scared. Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning were busy with the other younger siblings, and I wasn’t afraid of the dark, so I took Little Star out. However, when we came out of the bathroom, we saw two shadows entering Auntie’s room, and they didn’t come out for a long time."
"Da Ming, did you see who those two shadows were?"
Da Ming shook his head.
"Do you remember what day it was?" Because she locked the door every time she went out.
"It was the day my mom got injured. Da Ming and I were at our godmother’s house."
"Oh, so you were all at our house," Aunt Ning suddenly realized. Having six kids in one night tired both her and her husband out.
"It was that day, huh." Lin Wan was secretly annoyed. When she heard about Han Yi’s accident, she rushed out and indeed forgot to lock the door. However, when she returned that night, she didn’t find any signs of disturbance in the house.
"I clearly locked the main door that day," Uncle Ning frowned and said.
"Do you remember any other features of those thieves, like their clothes or actions? Which way did they go after leaving?" Ning Jiang quickly stepped forward, hugging Little Star, and coaxingly asked.
Little Star pouted and nodded, shifting her finger back and forth.
The adults looked puzzled, not understanding what it meant.
Da Ming chuckled, "I know what it means. Little Star says that the thief came out of Auntie’s room and directly went this way—yes, right here."
Da Ming stepped out of the room, standing at the spot from that night when he went to the bathroom, and pointed, "After the thief came out, they entered this room. At that time, we were so scared that we didn’t dare enter the house for a long time. We even thought they were going to kill someone. That’s how it goes in TV dramas—if you’re discovered, you’re done for. Since it was Aunt Wang’s room, we thought she had been found out and killed by the bad guys. But the next day, I saw her perfectly fine, and she even smiled at me."
The child had spoken so clearly; how could the adults not understand?
Shilan stood up angrily and said, "I told you something was odd here. We discussed sharing the shares a few days ago, so why were they suddenly insisting they couldn’t adapt and wanted to go home? So this was the ghost. Mom and Dad, they’re too much. Those were the savings I’d built up over the years—this is theft."
"Alas..." Uncle Ning squatted down and covered his face in shame when he realized it was his youngest son and daughter-in-law. A family scandal, indeed.
"What happened? When they left, they even said they’d discuss with you about splitting the money. How come they suddenly took the money and ran?" Aunt Ning was now stunned, unable to comprehend how her always simple and honest youngest son could do such sneaky things.
Moreover, it was against his own elder brother.
"Their talk with you was just a guise. No, we need to get the police back. I want to press charges against them," Shilan was so angry she could eat them alive.
"No, Xiao Lan. Since we know they took it, we should go back and ask for it back. Dad and I will go back. Let’s see if I don’t beat those two brats to death." Aunt Ning couldn’t bear to see her youngest son in jail. With such a large amount of money, it would definitely lead to imprisonment.
Given that it’s a family matter, solving it behind closed doors is best.
"Why shouldn’t we call the police?" Shilan disagreed, sitting down limply on the chair, waiting for Ning Jiang to resolve it.
At this moment, Ning Jiang wore a look of gloom and conflict. The incident was too sudden; he hadn’t expected his own brother to be the thief.
Now that the real culprits had been identified, it wasn’t appropriate for them, as outsiders, to stay any longer. After all, this was their family matter.
Han Yi silently patted Ning Jiang on the shoulder, then turned around and left with Grandma and Lin Wan.
Leaving them to resolve it as a family.
"Oh, I don’t really know Wang Yan well, but I often heard Shilan complain about her. I never expected this woman to have such nerve," sighed Tan Aixiang as they stepped out.
"One can never fully know a person’s heart. There are countless things beyond our imagination," Han Ying observed, having seen through much in her lifetime compared to these younger ones.
"I wonder if they’ll be able to get that money back," Lin Wan’s main concern was this.
"Don’t worry. With so much money in their hands, they’re sure to treasure it," Han Yi reassured her by gently holding her shoulder.
After all, it’s a lot of money; they won’t be able to spend it all at once.
Lin Wan nodded heavily, still worried.
She knew how hard Shilan had worked over the years—saving that much money wasn’t easy.
Lin Wan, who originally planned to visit the factory, lost her mood due to Shilan’s issue. Anyway, Su Ling and Liu Baicheng were at the factory. Hosting an important guest should be manageable.
Lin Wan and Han Yi stayed for a bit at their cousin’s place without any movement from Shilan’s family.
But they did hear some faint arguing sounds.
None of them went over. Going would only be awkward, leaving the family in an embarrassing position. Once they’ve argued, made a fuss, there’ll be a way to resolve it.
That night after returning home, Han Yi calculated the time—it would still be half a month before the factory matter was settled. He wasn’t planning to make Lin Wan wait, figuring he would go over in a month.
Regarding the rental matter, he could ask Su Ling to help look after it. Given her current state, waiting would only grow increasingly inconvenient.
He also didn’t feel at ease letting Lin Wan travel back and forth alone. Estimating the due date of this pregnancy, it would likely be January or February next year.
Listening to Han Yi, Lin Wan obediently agreed, doing her best not to worry him.
After they agreed on their plan, Han Yi was quite satisfied as he touched Lin Wan’s belly, hugging her and planting a kiss on her cheek...
"No, Little Star just fell asleep, and besides, I can’t."
"I know."
"You know and still do this," Lin Wan shyly pushed him.
"Don’t move. I’m just hugging and kissing, don’t move, or else I’ll really...,"
As Han Yi spoke, his voice grew deeper, clearly showing his affection, though he strongly restrained himself for her sake.
Lin Wan could feel him against her as she rested in his embrace.
"Ai Yi, in the future, we’ll have two children in our house. Will we not have any space for ourselves then?" Lin Wan asked as she slid her hand downward.
"When our daughter grows up, it will be easier, but that depends on whether it’s a boy or a girl. If it’s a boy, leave it to me. He’ll definitely be well-behaved. If it’s a girl, she’ll need more delicate nurturing. We can’t be as tough on girls as on boys."
"What nonsense," Lin Wan chuckled, her hand already on Han Yi’s body.
Of course, Han Yi felt Lin Wan’s touch but didn’t stop her. Instead, he let Lin Wan "do as she pleased."
Even at the end, he cooperated with Lin Wan and went along...
Sure, the process was truly wonderful, though Lin Wan didn’t think it was that wonderful.
The couple agreed that they would spend a few days here with Little Star and then head back to Z City.
The next day, the family of three slept in, waking up after nine in the morning.
When going out to buy groceries, Lin Wan found a phone and gave Su Ling a call to inquire about the situation yesterday.
"Boss Chen didn’t stay long; he had lunch here and said he had something else to do, so he left. But he really liked our factory, especially its design and decor."
"Ah, is that all? Well, he is a supplier. We just need to entertain him well when he’s here," Lin Wan said.
"However, Boss Chen seemed to know Han Yi and even specifically asked me about you two quite a bit yesterday."
"Ah? Boss Chen knows Han Yi too?" Last year when they and Su Ling met Boss Chen, he hadn’t mentioned it.
Could it be they met recently?
"Yes, I don’t know when they met either. He even knew you both live in Z City. I told him you two were in S City now and wanted to ask you to come, but he refused, saying you’ll meet eventually."
"...Oh," Lin Wan replied, glancing at Han Yi, who was holding Little Star beside her. She noticed he was frowning in puzzlement.
Lin Wan hung up the phone, paid the phone bill, then turned to Han Yi and asked, "Do you know that Boss Chen?"
