Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 878 - 754: Old Mei’s Defeat (Part 4)

Han Yi laughed and ruffled her hair, quickly helping her to sit down.

Little Star hadn’t seen Liang Hongmei in a long time, so she hugged Grandma and said a few nice words. Finally, when the fruit was brought in, she left Liang Hongmei’s embrace.

During dinner, Lin Wan noticed that Saozi wasn’t around and Mom didn’t seem to want to call her, so she thought there might be a quarrel between Mom and Saozi.

It wasn’t until the afternoon when she returned home with Mom, almost five o’clock, that Saozi still hadn’t returned, and even Tuantuan was not home.

Only then did Lin Wan cautiously ask, "Mom, where are my Saozi and Tuantuan?"

"They went on a trip with your brother. His workplace organized a tour, said they’re going climbing in D City, they’ve been gone two days, should be back the day after tomorrow."

"Ah," Lin Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Tuantuan is so young, how did Brother and Saozi take him?"

"Your brother and Saozi said that it’s rare to go out, they should bring the child for a walk, avoiding dangerous places."

Saozi and Brother took Tuantuan, so the babysitter looking after Tuantuan is on vacation too, the house has been quiet these couple of days.

When Dad came home in the evening, she and Mom had already prepared dinner.

"I figured you guys would be back by now, Old Ying somehow got a bottle of Maotai today, and I brought it over," Lin Guozhi smiled while placing a bottle of Maotai in front of Han Yi, "Let’s have a couple of drinks between the father-in-law and son-in-law today."

"Dad, this is good liquor," Lin Wan had stored several boxes in their study, but usually didn’t let him drink, though he usually didn’t drink.

Han Yi said this as he took the bottle from Lin Guozhi’s hand, opened it, and poured some for his father-in-law.

Lin Guozhi smiled and nodded, clinking glasses with Han Yi, they started talking about their matters at the Mei Family.

Lin Guozhi knew a bit about their matters at the Mei Family, and he was quite surprised at the sudden emergence of the Mei family’s third son. Those in the military and politics, who wasn’t secretly criticizing them?

At the dining table, Han Yi didn’t hide anything, sharing with Lin Guozhi about Chen Haichang and the motive behind Old Mei’s urgency to have him return.

Lin Guozhi silently praised Old Mei for his scheming.

"I think Old Mei must be getting old and increasingly muddled. He wants you to return to restrain Chen Haichang, but what does he have to make you both restrain each other? According to your words, Chen Haichang is only targeting Old Mei’s couple, nothing more."

"Father-in-law, I guess he wants to use Xiao Wan and Little Star as leverage, or something else. Then to push things onto Chen Haichang, or directly provoke a rift between me and Chen Haichang. After all, he doesn’t truly regard me as his grandson."

Lin Wan noticed Han Yi’s hand turned a bit pale while holding the cup as he said this.

Lin Wan tugged at his sleeve below, looking at him with compassion.

Han Yi saw the worry in Lin Wan’s eyes and quickly released his hand, his expression returning to normal.

Lin Guozhi silently patted his son-in-law’s shoulder and asked, "Did you discover anything this time?"

"This time, there wasn’t much. He probably didn’t dare make it too obvious, especially since I just returned."

"Hmm," Lin Guozhi nodded, his expression darkening, "It seems Grandpa and I were wrong, getting you to return has put you into danger."

Han Yi smiled and shook his head, "He doesn’t know about my private dealings with Chen Haichang. Even if he does something later, we won’t fall for it. However, it’s best not to let Xiao Wan and the child go there."

Old Mei calculated correctly, Lin Wan and Little Star are his greatest weaknesses.

"Fortunately, fortunately, you haven’t let them know about Xiao Wan’s pregnancy. If they knew, he would definitely target the child," Liang Hongmei patted her chest, sighing with relief.
