Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 691 - 690: Will Absolutely Not Let Her Off Easily

Chapter 691: Chapter 690: Will Absolutely Not Let Her Off Easily

Hua Yongbing personally visited Shao Chengzhi’s house, a decision made after considerable thought.

His niece had committed a wrongdoing, and as her uncle, he needed to first admit the mistake to Elder Shao and express an unequivocal stance against leniency!

Next, by observing his former superior’s reaction, he would be able to devise how best to proceed.

Shao Chengzhi received Hua Yongbing directly in the downstairs living room rather than inviting him into his study.

After Shao Meirou had the maid serve them two cups of hot tea, she soon excused herself, leaving space for the two men to talk.

With a face full of shame, Hua Yongbing said, "Elder Shao! It’s truly embarrassing! Because of my lax discipline, she committed such an act!

You have my word, I will definitely not cover for her; whatever the necessary measures are, I will take them and ensure that young man receives justice..."

Shao Chengzhi wore a cold expression. Among his former subordinates, Hua Yongbing had been dearly favored by him.

But he had never anticipated that his niece would engage in so much deceit behind the scenes.

He did not know what role Hua Yongbing had played in the entire matter!

Was he completely oblivious, or was he pretending to be confused despite knowing everything?

"Xiaohua! You don’t need to bother with that sanctimonious chatter!" Shao Chengzhi made his stance clear, "Whether or not you intend to shield her, I will make it clear to you, we will absolutely not let her off easily!"

Hua Yongbing immediately looked aggrieved, "Elder Shao! I truly have no intention of showing favoritism!

My sister came to my house in the middle of last night, and only then did I learn what had happened! I scolded her severely on the spot!

My visit today is to sincerely apologize to both you and your younger relatives...I didn’t..."

Shao Chengzhi waved his hand to stop his continuous flow of words, "She has recklessly induced and used idle gangsters to assault and injure others, even landing someone in the hospital!

Would she dare to act this way without any backing? As her uncle, are you not the first in line to protect her?"

From the moment he entered until now, through a series of remarks and demeanor from Shao Chengzhi, Hua Yongbing realized the situation was likely irreversible.

He could only hope that Elder Shao would consider past affection and perhaps be less severe.

"...Ah... it’s all my fault for not disciplining her strictly, allowing the child to become so arrogant and domineering... I am to blame as well!"

Thinking of what his grandson had relayed to him, Shao Chengzhi raised an eyebrow, "Is she merely arrogant and domineering? As her uncle, are you really unaware of what she has done?"

Hua Yongbing felt bewildered, "Elder Shao! What do you mean?"

He heard something unusual in his words.

Could there be something he was unaware of?

Shao Chengzhi did not answer his question, but asked instead, "Tell me, the decision for the drama troupe to join the unit to gain life experience, that was approved and arranged by you, right?"

"Yes! The playwright of the troupe wanted to write a script about our industry, so they took the opportunity when there were fewer performance obligations to gain life experience!"

What Hua Yongbing did not voice was that his niece, Meng Xiangzi, had originally volunteered and brought up this plan to him.

Shao Chengzhi’s lips curled into a cold sneer, "So, you arranged for your niece to go to my grandson’s unit?

Xiaohua! I truly did not expect you to harbor such intentions!

If it had been before, when Xiaozheng was still single, I wouldn’t have said anything about your thoughts.

But now that Xiaozheng is married and has a wife, isn’t it somewhat too immoral of you to act this way?"

Hua Yongbing was instantly wide-eyed and speechless, as if he had been slapped loudly in public!

Last night, deep into the night, his sister had found her way home, and when he listened to everything she said, he couldn’t help but notice some unreasonable aspects.

Why would Meng Xiangzi go so far as to find someone to fight just because she disliked Meng Xiangnan’s classmate?

But he didn’t think much of it!

Because it never crossed his mind that his niece, whom he had always considered too proud, would harbor such ignoble intentions!

What else was there left to misunderstand now?

All the pieces had connected and formed a clear line!

He had been used by Meng Xiangzi too!

"Mr. Shao! I really didn’t know anything about this! I only found out she went to Lu Zheng’s workplace afterward..."

Shao Chengzhi didn’t want to talk anymore, he waved his hand to stop him, "Enough! Whether you knew or not! This time, your niece’s goal was definitely not just about beating someone up!

Her ultimate aim was probably directed at my grandson’s wifeᅳthe child had just managed to conceive after so much difficulty... any small stir..."

Everyone here is smart, some things are understood just by thinking about them.

The real motive behind Meng Xiangzi’s little maneuvers isn’t hard to guess.

Hua Yongbing was sent off by Shao Chengzhi with tea, and even as he walked out the main door, he was still feeling shocked and bewildered, struggling to accept what had just happened.

He couldn’t understand how Meng Xiangzi, a young lady, could set her sights on Lu Zheng, a married man!

Although Lu Zheng was a man with outstanding qualities and charm in every aspect, he was still married after all...

Meng Xiangzi’s parents, of course, immediately learned the whole truth from Hua Yongbing as well!

Among them, except for Meng Xiangnan, who had already guessed a lot and could readily accept it, Meng’s father and mother simply couldn’t accept it!

They both felt there must be some misunderstanding!

They couldn’t believe their daughter would be such a home wrecker.

But facts trump words, and Hua Yongbing was genuinely furious; he related all that Meng Xiangzi had done clearly.

"... Now that things have ended up like this, I am helpless! Whatever will happen to her, let’s leave it to fate!

I went to Mr. Shao’s home, and when I learned everything, I felt so embarrassed for her! Why would a perfectly eligible young lady commit such disgraceful acts..."

Meng Xiangzi’s parents were left speechless, and they too wanted to know what their daughter was actually thinking.

But even if Hua Yongbing stated he wouldn’t help, they couldn’t just give up, as their own daughter might be suffering right now...

After Lin Dong was discharged from the hospital, Lin Xia, not wanting him to return to the dorm, took him to Shao Chengzhi’s home.

Shao Chengzhi was delighted. It had been a long time since his home had been so lively; he had people buy lots of delicious ingredients to entertain Qin Zeming and the others.

At a certain age, one really enjoyed a lively house full of people.

Shao Chengzhi and Qin Zeming, the two old men, chatted about everything under the sun and played a few games of chess, they couldn’t be happier.

With such good mood, both Shao Chengzhi’s health and spirits had improved significantly.

When Lin Dong went back to school for exams and encountered a haggard-looking Meng Xiangnan, his feelings were truly complicated.

He had already heard everything from his elder sisters; the harm he had suffered was all due to Meng Xiangnan’s sister...
