Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 711 - 710 They will get their retribution!

Lu Zheng frowned and said directly, "I still don’t know for sure! But I suspect the Meng Family the most!"

He was roughly aware of everyone who had grudges against Lin Xia.

For instance, Lin Qiang was in prison, and others were in their hometown, simply lacking the means to come to the provincial city to design their revenge.

The whole incident with the abortion pill was meticulously planned. The woman who actively sought out Fang Youzhen and the so-called expert selling the Fetal Exchange Medicine were all parts of a well-coordinated scheme.

The other party also had an intimate understanding of his grandmother’s situation.

Among them, some relatives or friends of his family might have played a role intentionally or unintentionally.

Shao Meirou said with conviction, "It must be them! Now, who else but them wants to retaliate against our family the most?"

Shao Chengzhi agreed, "Xiaozheng! So, you deliberately said those things in the bathhouse to test the kid! Did you notice anything amiss?"

Lu Zheng stroked his chin and pondered, "He should be unaware! Besides, if it were his family members behind it, they might not necessarily tell him about it!"

Now all our housekeepers have gone home for the holidays, and it won’t be so easy for outsiders to probe for information!

So, if he tells his family that Lin Xia is fine and everything truly is the work of the Meng Family, then maybe someone from their side will react!"

Seeing his grandson speak so logically, Shao Chengzhi felt slightly relieved, "Good! Let me know what you need, even if I have to throw away this old face to ask for favors, I can’t let those who harmed my great-grandson get away with it!"

He had been looking forward to his great-grandchild for so long, only to almost have him harmed in his own home by someone using Fang Youlan as a pawn.

How could he not be so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices?

"Grandpa! I won’t be shy about asking if I need anything! I’ll go get someone to draw a portrait tomorrow! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I’ll find out who it is!"

Lu Zheng also didn’t have many clues at the moment, so he could only take a dual approach: wait and see, and look for evidence to expose the person behind the scenes.

"Good! As long as we have physical characteristics, we won’t have trouble finding this person! Then, by following the vine to get the melon, we’ll also find some traces!"

Shao Chengzhi and Lu Zheng then brought up Fang Youlan, "When you guys returned from Old Liao’s, what was your grandfather’s reaction?"

"I didn’t go in! I guess my grandfather must have been furious! He was so angry before that he wanted to hit someone!"

Lu Zheng truly lost his temper this time. His child had nearly died at the hands of his grandmother. How could he easily forgive and let go?

Therefore, when he dropped off Fang Youlan and Lu Shuhui, he didn’t stay for a moment and drove away immediately.

Even though he knew what they would face when they got home, he didn’t want to care at all!

Shao Meirou, still filled with grievance when she thought about that day, said, "Your grandmother is really foolish! You didn’t see what happened that day!

She tried every trick in the book, soft and hard, just to make Lin Xia drink that oddly-smelling chicken soup...

So even if your grandfather beats her for it, I think it’s light punishment!"

Normally, if Shao Meirou had said such shockingly disrespectful words, Shao Chengzhi would have severely reprimanded her.

But at this moment, Shao Chengzhi shared his daughter’s sentiments.

He truly felt that Fang Youlan needed to be put in her place and disciplined!

If it hadn’t been for Fang Youlan harbouring those ill thoughts, there would have been no opportunity for others to take advantage of.

Shao Chengzhi even felt that if Lu Guangqi hadn’t always indulged Fang Youlan, always conforming to her whims,

perhaps if he had been stricter, Fang Youlan wouldn’t have become so willful, taking matters into her own hands and not listening to advice!

...

Meng Xiangnan was late returning from his bath, leaving Hua Yongfang pacing back and forth at home, anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, constantly glancing at the clock on the wall.

Previously, when she had called Hua Yongbing’s house, all his children had already arrived home.

But her son, Meng Xiangnan, was nowhere to be seen.

The day after tomorrow would be New Year’s Eve, and she was truly afraid her son might meet with some accident again.

If something happened to her son as her daughter had been imprisoned, she really wouldn’t have the strength to live!

Several times, she even considered going out to look for Meng Xiangnan.

However, Meng’s father was on duty at his unit tonight and hadn’t come home.

Because Hua Yongfang was afraid to walk alone at night, and she worried that she might go in a different direction than her son, she didn’t go out.

It wasn’t until she heard the sound of keys at the door.

Hua Yongfang, with a swoosh, pulled open the door, and there really was her son standing outside!

However, he was staggering and it was evident that he had been drinking.

"Xiangnan, where have you been? Why did you just come back? You almost worried your mom to death!"

She looked at Meng Xiangnan’s bloodshot eyes and smelled the strong odor of alcohol, unable to help but chide, "You child! How could you go drink by yourself!"

"Mom! It’s fine! I... I just felt upset and had a few drinks," Meng Xiangnan said as he let out a burp reeking of alcohol.

Hua Yongfang grabbed Meng Xiangnan’s wrist, brought him inside, and made him sit down on the sofa.

She hurried to fetch a towel and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Hua Yongfang pressed for answers, "Son! You were fine when you left with your cousins earlier, weren’t you? What happened?"

Meng Xiangnan was actually just a bit dizzy, his tongue numb, and his steps unsteady; he wasn’t drunk to the point of blacking out.

He waved his arms, ranting furiously, "Don’t even mention my cousins! Each one of them is a sycophant!

Acting like dogs wagging their tails and fawning all over those people! They didn’t even dare to mention who I am!

What relatives? They’re all bullshit!"

"Xiangnan! What are you talking about? Who exactly did you encounter?" Hua Yongfang guessed in her heart that her son must have been provoked by someone to have gone drinking alone.

"I ran into that Lu Zheng who harmed my sister and his grandfather!" Another burp escaped Meng Xiangnan.

Hua Yongfang was shocked; she could never have imagined that her son could encounter those people after going bathing with his nephews.

But, at the same time, she was particularly eager to hear the rest, "Where did you run into them? Just the two of them? What happened then? You didn’t say anything, did you?"

"Outside the bathhouse! I didn’t say anything! But later, I overheard that Lu Zheng saying that Lin Dong’s sister couldn’t bathe for long because she was pregnant or something, then that respected old bastard actually indulged her and went outside to wait..."

"Mom! How can they live with themselves, having put my sister through such misery, ruining her life?"

If it hadn’t been for the fact that he knew he couldn’t beat the tall and powerful Lu Zheng, and because the New Year was coming and he didn’t want his parents to worry more, he would’ve loved to beat Lu Zheng to a pulp to avenge his sister!

Meng Xiangnan didn’t notice the strange look that passed over Hua Yongfang’s face as he was preoccupied with angrily shedding tears of pain.

Hua Yongfang heard that Lin Xia had not met with an accident and had also gone to bathe; she couldn’t hide her disappointment.

However, she quickly rallied her spirits; as far as she knew, the Lu Family was unusually together for a reunion this year, and they would certainly spend New Year’s Eve together.

The medicine had already reached that old lady’s hands; how could she not find an opportunity to use it on that bitch Lin Xia?

Hua Yongfang, under the guise of wiping away her tears, disguised her momentary lapse. There were things she did not want her son involved in, so she did not want him to know.

"Who makes them more powerful than our family! Son! Rest assured, a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. They will get their comeuppance!"
