Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 948 - 773: Diamond_2

Lin Wan nodded, "Last time, I didn’t pay attention at all; the shape Little Star held was a bit irregular, I didn’t expect that thing would be a diamond. Ai Yi, this diamond is something valuable and expensive indeed."

"How could such a valuable thing be in a flower pot? Mr. Mei wouldn’t be foolish enough to put it in a pot, or could it be there are so many good things that they’re just carelessly thrown around?"

Lin Wan shook her head, "When shall we take a trip to the old house, just in time to check the pots upstairs? See if there are any more."

"I just ran into Mr. Mei at the door; he wants us to go back tonight."

"Mm-hmm, Dad, Mom, we’re going to find Shiniliangliang," Little Star jumped up excitedly upon hearing this.

Han Yi quickly held her and patiently soothed his daughter; such things shouldn’t be mentioned casually. Otherwise, if Mr. Mei found out, it would be hard to handle.

The family of three happily chatted for a while. They strolled around their courtyard; this place was bigger than Mom’s place in S City. But it was empty inside, except for the main house where they slept; there wasn’t much furniture.

"Ai Yi, we don’t have much to do recently, let’s fill in some cheap furniture, shall we? If guests come, they can stay." If Dad dealt with his work matters, he could stay with them for a couple of days.

"Alright, let’s take a look around the streets these days. Since everyone says they’ll celebrate the New Year here, we can also prepare some festive goods in advance."

"Mhm." While familiarizing themselves with the area, they could find some spots. Opening their restaurant here wouldn’t be bad either.

Su Ling mentioned that over here Chen Haichang introduced an agent to them, but Lin Wan didn’t know where it was yet.

Speaking of Chen Haichang, he introduced so many big clients to them, yet she hadn’t had the chance to thank him.

Just in time, she thought about how to thank him.

Around five o’clock, Han Yi drove Lin Wan and Little Star to the old house.

However, Mei Langchi and Ye Qing arrived half an hour earlier than them. When they entered, Ye Qing was sitting on the sofa, peeling an apple for Old Mrs. Mei.

"Grandma, please have this. I specially bought it for you; the inside is soft, easy to eat."

"Mm, you’re thoughtful, I love this stuff. Haha."

Lin Wan watched Old Mrs. Mei’s face bloom into a smile and secretly thought Ye Qing was skillful. In just a few days, she’d managed to charm the two women of the Mei family.

"Oh, Ai Yi, Xiao Wan is back..." Old Mrs. Mei greeted them with a smile as she saw the couple entering. But when she caught sight of Lin Wan’s bulging belly, she froze, "When...when did this pregnancy happen?"

"Already over seven months, grandma," Lin Wan replied without hiding, supporting her stomach with a smile.

"Oh dear, so it must have been last time you were here, you know, something so important, how could you keep it from us? Quick, sit down and rest. If I’d known you were expecting, I would have made you come back right away yesterday; how could you serve others with such a big belly? Your second aunt and Ah Qing shouldn’t have kept it from us either."

"Mom, I didn’t mean to hide it; you didn’t ask, and yesterday I was busy taking care of Little Star, so I neglected the matter. Ah Qing didn’t go to pick up Lin Wan yesterday?" Liang Qian quickly explained as she came out of the kitchen.

"I...I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, got off the car halfway," Ye Qing awkwardly smiled from the side.

"Hurry, sit down." Old Mrs. Mei was visibly delighted upon seeing Lin Wan’s significant belly and didn’t care about who was right or wrong.

Lin Wan subtly glanced at Han Yi, knowing Old Mrs. Mei cherished their child, Han Yi didn’t mind, just concerned something might go wrong in the end. But having just discovered today, they wouldn’t act for the time being.

After helping Lin Wan to sit, he went to pour some hot water for her to warm up.

As Mr. Mei came out from the room and noticed Lin Wan’s large belly, the look in his eyes altered.

He casually called Han Yi into the study.

In this family, besides the godfather and godmother, the only person genuinely happy for her was that neglected father-in-law of hers.

After learning of Lin Wan’s pregnancy, he urgently asked Aunt Wu to buy a fish and some ribs to stew for Lin Wan.

On the contrary, Xie Lingzhi had a sullen face the entire time; anyone with eyes could discern her displeasure.

Mei Langchi, on the other hand, remained quiet with a gloomy expression, making it hard to guess his thoughts.

Lin Wan’s pregnancy stirred different feelings within the Mei family, leaving Lin Wan slightly tense, afraid none of them wanted her to go through with having the baby.

In the living room, Old Mrs. Mei kept questioning Lin Wan about every detail from when she got pregnant to how many months along she was, and whether the baby was a boy or girl.

Lin Wan patiently answered Old Mrs. Mei’s questions. Ye Qing, sitting beside her, chimed in from time to time, her sincere smile almost convincing Lin Wan of her genuine change.

Lin Wan suddenly realized Ye Qing’s change might be related to the diamonds; could she have thought those things were in Old Mrs. Mei’s possession?

Though it was possible since Mr. Mei and Old Mrs. Mei married young, she couldn’t have been unaware of what things Mr. Mei had.

After chatting with Old Mrs. Mei for a while, Lin Wan deliberately yawned a few times. Seeing this, Old Mrs. Mei hurriedly asked Aunt Wu to set up her bed.

"I originally planned for you to return for the New Year; I’ve already had Aunt Wu prepare your room. It’s not quite dinner time yet; I had Aunt Wu set up a foot bath so your bed will be warm."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Lin Wan thanked Old Mrs. Mei with a smile and held Little Star’s hand to head upstairs.

All of a sudden, Ye Qing chimed in with a sly smile, "Sister-in-law, how can you rest well with Little Star along? Why not leave Little Star downstairs to play with Hua Hua?"

"Yes, Little Star, play downstairs with your brother so your mom can rest," concurred Old Mrs. Mei, genuinely thinking of Lin Wan’s well-being, oblivious to Ye Qing’s ulterior motives.
