Chapter 2123: Chapter 2124: The Original Spouse Who Leaves with Nothing 43

Lin Yu worried for a long time, taking various precautions, just afraid that if he wasn’t careful, he would get tricked by the Han Family.

Unexpectedly, the Han Family’s eldest uncle contacted him too. While Lin Yu explained, he just listened quietly, making a few sounds of agreement without expressing his opinion.

How could that put him at ease? Even if he had harshly scolded him, it would have been better. No reaction at all was actually more worrisome.

Before, Lin Yu had thoroughly understood the Han Family, especially the long-standing branch, as they are the heads of the Han Family.

He knew that the eldest uncle’s family weren’t easy to get along with. As long as things didn’t go their way or they weren’t pleased, they wouldn’t hesitate to deal with the other party.

He was so worried before precisely because he was afraid the eldest uncle would stir up trouble behind his back, but who would’ve thought he’d act like this this time.

Lin Yu thought for a bit and decided to ask Han Xue, since she must understand her uncle well.

Han Xue felt her head throbbing, listening to Lin Yu constantly prattle on about the issues with her uncle’s family. Her head, already aching, was now even worse.

She kept rubbing her head, "Shut up, can’t you slow down a bit? Can’t you see I’ve got a headache?"

Really, he couldn’t read the room, knowing she wasn’t feeling well and yet still talking non-stop. She almost wanted to punch him, she’d never seen someone so oblivious.

Didn’t Lin Yu notice? Of course he did, but he had no choice. The situation was so urgent, without asking Han Xue, he didn’t know what to do.

Who knew Han Xue would have this attitude. Lin Yu really wanted to explode, to question her thoroughly, but in the end, he held back.

Lin Yu sat angrily to the side, hoping Han Xue would notice he was upset.

But who would have thought Han Xue didn’t care at all? Instead, she chatted happily with friends about which bar had handsome and good-singing lead singers, which bar had dashing waiters, and so on.

He was so furious his head hurt, knowing Han Xue loved to play, but at such a crucial time, shouldn’t she prioritize important matters?

With Han Xue like this, and his in-laws the same, Lin Yu got angry just thinking about it. When he was the Zhang Family’s son-in-law, whenever there was an issue, everyone would sit together and analyze the situation.

Countless times Lin Yu wanted to call Zhang Yu, to ask her what to do, but every time he picked up the phone, he would give up.

He was afraid that Zhang Yu would laugh at him after knowing the news, and even more afraid she’d ask for money right away.

Alas, Lin Yu really didn’t understand why Zhang Yu had turned out like this, always asking for money.

Zhang Yu had no idea Lin Yu thought of her that way. If she knew, she wouldn’t hesitate to roll her eyes at him.

But, thinking he was Lin Zixuan’s father and a quality client who could bring her income, and of course to see the fun, she hadn’t blocked or deleted him outright.

Now she was at Shenzhen Airport, waiting for the two elders to return from their trip. They had been traveling for more than half a month, having a great time, and hadn’t even returned yet, they were already discussing their next trip.

When Zhang Qiang and Han Yu pushed the luggage cart out of the airport, seeing the suitcases, Zhang Yu knew they hadn’t skimped on shopping.

Upon seeing them, Zhang Yu took over the luggage and greeted the elders’ friends. After saying goodbye at the airport, the car took them straight back to Harbor City.

On the way back, the elders first asked about their precious grandson’s situation, about how he was resting, how he was doing, whether his studies were keeping up, to which Zhang Yu answered each question.

Knowing their precious grandson was doing well, the elders breathed a sigh of relief, "Knowing that everything is fine at home puts our minds at ease."

Ah? Ever since Lin Zixuan was born, her status in the eyes of the elders had been declining, but she didn’t think they wouldn’t even ask about her, "Mom and Dad, why don’t you ask about me?"

"What is there to ask? Eating well, sleeping well," Zhang Qiang said grumpily.

Alright, the old man said it, so what can she do? She decided to ask how their trip went instead.

"This time Uncle Li really arranged everything nicely, the accommodation was great, and we rested well," Han Yu said happily about the trip. "Next time we’re planning to go to Yunnan, we plan to take it slow and have fun for a month."

"This time was a bit rushed," the old lady regretted, "Next time we’ll find a place to stay for a month and take it easy."

Zhang Qiang kept nodding, "I think that’s a great idea too."

A group of carefree seniors, planning trips by the month, Zhang Yu was truly envious, "That’s great, I’d love to travel too."

Calculating the money on hand, traveling wasn’t too much of a financial burden for her, she could afford it. The only concern was little Lin Zixuan.

"I remember Xiao Xuan’s school has a study tour program during holidays, which lasts about a month," Zhao Qiang said casually.

Oh right, how could she forget about that. "Yes, yes, I should ask about it, and if possible, arrange it for next summer vacation."

"By the way, Mom, do you two have any plans for the New Year?" Zhang Yu remembered something.

Plans for the New Year? Zhang Qiang and Han Yu were quite surprised, "It’s only September, why are you thinking about Spring Festival already?"

"I’m thinking, if we’re not going back to the Mainland this year, I’d like to renovate the old house." Zhang Yu had long wanted to do something with the house the elders lived in. In fact, it wasn’t just her idea, the original owners had thought of it too, only the elders kept saying it wasn’t necessary.

"Renovate?" Zhang Qiang didn’t understand why the house needed renovating.

"I recently went back to the Mainland and bought the house next door to you. I’m thinking if Xiao Xuan gets into college, and I’m not living here, when I return to the Mainland, I can live next door and take care of you two better."

Even though she bought the house next door, Zhang Yu never intended to merge the two houses. Although it would be convenient to connect them, it would mean living together, which didn’t suit her temperament.

Upon learning this, Zhang Qiang and his wife were very surprised, "Why did you think of buying over there all of a sudden?" The house they lived in was given to them by the workplace back then. At the time, it seemed like a great place, but as time passed, one couldn’t compare it to modern apartments.

Given the location, the housing price in that neighborhood hadn’t dropped much, "I remember the asking price for the house next door wasn’t cheap."

The exact price Zhang Qiang hadn’t asked about, but knew it wouldn’t be cheap, "There are better houses now."

"I know there are better neighborhoods, but Dad, the neighborhood you live in now is quite nice: good greenery, a market close by, good hospitals, and a decent school district."

"In the words of young people today, this kind of house is down-to-earth."

"When Xiao Xuan goes to college, we’ll move back to retire. It’s convenient to go out." Zhang Yu knew that people of Zhang Qiang’s generation liked to chat with friends and classmates and often had gatherings, living in that neighborhood meant most of the neighboring residents were the elders’ old colleagues.
