Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 917 - 765: Frozen Relations
Lin Wan was a light sleeper, so she woke up when Little Star clumsily covered her with a blanket. She didn’t expect her daughter to say something like that. It almost moved Lin Wan to tears.
This instantly gave Lin Wan a feeling that her daughter was growing up.
Feeling immensely gratified, she couldn’t possibly let her daughter help with the housework. Her daughter’s actions filled Lin Wan, who was already deflated, with motivation immediately.
She quickly got up to clean the dining table, and then checked her daughter’s homework. She hadn’t read with her daughter in the past few days.
In the following week, Lin Wan was constantly shuttling between the store and home. At the end of November, it snowed heavily.
Lin Wan’s belly was slightly bigger, so she didn’t dare go out. Fortunately, she could receive calls from Han Yi every few days. Life was quite fulfilling.

"Mei Erqing, I didn’t expect you to actually buy a house for your illegitimate child? You’re something else, denying it with your mouth, yet doing these sneaky things behind the scenes. After living with you for a lifetime, I finally see you for who you are. I really... feel pathetic," said Old Mrs. Mei, seizing the opportunity to start a commotion with Mr. Mei since it was rare for it to snow, and their children and their spouses were not home, leaving only the two elderly people. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Since the grand celebration of Mr. Mei’s birthday, the Mei Family had not been peaceful.
Old Mrs. Mei’s foot had just healed. Although her foot was better, she had never let go of the matter with Chen Haichang, constantly clashing with Mr. Mei at the Mei Family’s residence. Mr. Mei, irritated and unwilling to listen to her endless nagging, would spend his days going out early and returning late, playing chess and drinking tea with his old friends.
A few days ago, Chen Haichang had been calling the Mei Family continuously for two weeks, asking persistently when Mr. Mei would buy him a house.
Mei Erqing couldn’t take it anymore, so he asked his second son’s wife to help look at a set of houses.
As for Chen Haichang, Mei Erqing knew very well that if they provoked this reckless man, it would be the Mei Family who suffered loss.
"You are getting more and more muddleheaded as you age, just enjoy your little tunes and TV. You don’t need to worry about my affairs," Mr. Mei was currently very annoyeda for purchasing four consecutive houses this year, causing him to part with several rare treasures.
"I am old, but I’m not muddleheaded. Ever since I married into the Mei Family, I’ve been obedient, serving the in-laws, raising children with you, and enduring many hardships. Now, half of this household is mine to decide too. Mei Erqing, if you dare give this house to that illegitimate child today, believe me, I will immediately expose your secrets all these years..."
"Enough..."
Old Mrs. Mei was stunned by Mr. Mei’s sudden outburst of anger and the darkness in his eyes. She didn’t dare to continue speaking.
"Women’s minds are narrow, thinking about trivial matters all day. Yes, Chen Haichang is my illegitimate son, but it’s not what I wanted. If it wasn’t for you insisting on her staying, that illegitimate child wouldn’t exist now. Do you know about my past affairs with Chen Haichang’s grandpa? Do you really think he’s here to recognize me as his father?"
"Not recognize you? Then what does he want?" Old Mrs. Mei, having lived long enough, immediately understood that the situation was not that simple.
"Do you know how Old Liu and Old He, who were under my charge, died? Over the years, didn’t I promote them well enough?"
Old Mrs. Mei certainly knew, as she had attended both of their funerals. They died mysteriously, and even though everyone knew it was suspicious, no one dared to investigate. Even when their children and grandchildren tried to use their connections, no one dared to take over the investigation, almost as if this matter had already been warned from above, leaving no one willing to stand out.
Old Mrs. Mei seemed to understand something, and said with shock, "This... this couldn’t be his doing, could it?"
"What do you think?"
Mr. Mei’s words made Old Mrs. Mei shiver. She didn’t dare to complain anymore, hurriedly grabbing Mr. Mei’s arm and asked, "Why did you have to provoke such a Demon King? What does he really want, he wouldn’t, wouldn’t want to..."
"Hmph, if he wanted to kill me, it would be a piece of cake. He could do it without anyone suspecting a thing. However, he’s not one to be easily satisfied. The things I did to his grandpa and his mother back in the day—killing me is just the beginning. Do you remember the accident you had at the hospital when you went to visit Xiao Chi in G City?"
