Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 724 - 723 I Really Hate It!

Meng Xiangnan went to the detention center to visit Hua Yongfang, and tears could not help but stream down his face when he saw his mother, who seemed to have aged overnight.

’A man’s tears do not lightly fall, but only when the heart is truly wounded.’

He deeply regreted that he had overheard his mother and aunt’s conversation outside the door and had done nothing about it.

If he had taken the initiative to apologize and admit his wrongdoing, would there be a different outcome now?

"Mom! My sister is in, and now you and aunt as well... My dad has been transferred, our family is torn apart and can never be reunited! I am filled with hate!"

He hated himself for not having the strength to protect his family, and hated the other party for their excessive bullying that tore his family apart!

In a fit of rage, he pounded the table with his fists, making loud "bang bang" sounds.

Hua Yongfang also had tears streaming down her face, her regret and sorrow no less than that of her son.

Because of her, her sister-in-law also lost her public post, and Meng Chaoran had scolded her bitterly in a venomous tirade before his son did!

She also understood her husband’s and his family’s resentment and dissatisfaction; everything started because of her, which led to her sister-in-law’s downfall!

But she did it all for her daughter!

Her poor daughter was ruined by those people! How could she easily swallow this bitter pill and let it pass!

But now, with her husband transferred far away and out of hope, the in-laws filled with resentment, and only her son left to study on his own, even if she had her family’s support and care, she still couldn’t rest easy!

She couldn’t let her child be blinded by hatred to the point of seeking revenge!

If her son, who had a bright future, got dragged into this, when would their family have a day to rise again?

"Xiangnan, take care of yourself! Study hard! Don’t think about revenge! Keep your distance from that classmate! Our family can’t afford any more trouble!

After your sister and I get out, we will all be counting on you to make a name for yourself and restore our family’s honor!"

Meng Xiangnan clenched his teeth; he didn’t want to agree, but he had to, so as not to have his mother worried and restless on the inside.

But in his heart, he solemnly vowed that a gentleman’s revenge could wait ten years, and just as soon as he had the ability, he would certainly make them regret what they did today!

"Mom, don’t worry! I definitely won’t do anything foolish!"

...

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia finally made it home after a series of ordeals.

The two waved goodbye to the person who had gone out of their way to pick them up, and tiptoed upstairs into their home; the moment they turned on the light, they felt a wave of warmth envelop the room.

As he was taking off his coat, Lu Zheng couldn’t resist expressing his sentiment, "Wife! Our home really is the best!"

Although they didn’t know how long they could live here, it was their own little home.

Returning to this place, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.

Lin Xia had been away from home longer than Lu Zheng. As soon as she walked in, she also felt a solid sense of security,

It really proved the saying, ’A golden house or a silver house is not as good as one’s own dog house.’

During her stay at her grandfather Shao Chengzhi’s place, the whole family treated her very well, like a key figure to protect, but it still couldn’t match the sense of ease in her own home.

"So you feel that way too; I feel the same. No place is better than our own home!"

Lu Zheng gently embraced Lin Xia, who had shed her coat and was now wearing a peach-colored wool sweater, "Wife, you don’t know! When you were away, I felt the house was cold and empty, as if it lost its life. But how come the moment you return, it feels like even the light bulbs in the house shine brighter?"

Lin Xia glanced at the room’s warm yellow light bulbs and couldn’t help but tease him, "I think that’s all in your mind! But I’ve felt that way before, when you and Brother Li went on a business trip, and I was home alone—it felt just like that!"

Lu Zheng lightly pecked at the corner of Lin Xia’s lips and said affectionately, "From now on, unless we have something important, let’s not be apart so easily!"

"Okay! Let’s not be apart!" Lin Xia saw that Lu Zheng’s lips were inching further, as if hoping to claim more territory, and she quickly dodged to the side, "Hurry up and get ready, I’m really tired!"

"Alright!" Lu Zheng finally relented, caring for his wife, and only kissed her once before letting her go.

Although it was late at night, the house had gathered a thin layer of dust after being unoccupied for several days and simply wasn’t comfortable to sleep in without a quick clean-up.

The other areas could wait until daytime, but the bedroom, where they slept, had to be wiped down.

After tidying up and freshening up, the two lay down in bed and embraced each other to sleep.

Sweet dreams filled the night. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The next morning, Lu Zheng got up early to exercise.

When Lin Xia woke up, there was no sign of Lu Zheng by her side.

In the winter warmth of the cozy bed, Lin Xia hummed contentedly and curled back under the covers to sleep again.

By the time she woke up again, Lu Zheng had already brought back breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Zheng left the house, while Lin Xia did some simple cleaning.

Then, looking at the time, she picked up some items and went to the house across the hall, belonging to Hao Xiaoyun.

When Hao Xiaoyun opened the door and saw it was Lin Xia, she greeted her with a beaming smile, "Come on in! I was afraid you were still asleep and didn’t want to disturb you!"

Hao Xiaoyun knew that Lin Xia and her family had arrived back home late the previous night and was worried Lin Xia might still be sleeping, so she hadn’t come to visit.

"I’ve already had breakfast and tidied up the house! Sister-in-law, I hope you had a good New Year’s celebration!"

"Not bad! We also just got back from our hometown a couple of days ago! Look at you, always so polite, bringing gifts and all."

"It’s nothing expensive, just some food!" Lin Xia liked Hao Xiaoyun and was willing to interact with her. Distant relatives couldn’t compare to close neighbors, especially when they lived right across the door, so she and Lu Zheng had specifically brought lots of tasty treats for them.

Hao Xiaoyun invited Lin Xia to sit down, and went to pour her a glass of water.

Hao Xiaoyun’s son, Li Haoran, still hadn’t started school and was at home. He heard some noise in the bedroom, came out to greet Lin Xia, and wished her well for the New Year.

Lin Xia had been thinking about Li Haoran and had brought him a large bag full of various candies.

Li Haoran, though a year older and much more mature, was still a child at heart, and upon seeing the big bag of candies Lin Xia had given him, he was as thrilled as could be and thanked her profusely.

Hao Xiaoyun, who usually maintained strict control over him, coupled with the family’s limited means, wouldn’t let her child indulge in candies freely, so she couldn’t help but admonish Li Haoran, "Your aunt brought these especially for you, but you can’t eat them all at once!"

"Mom! I’ll just eat a few each day!" Li Haoran, delighted with his sweets, went back to his room cradling the bag of candy.

Hao Xiaoyun looked at her son’s retreating back and scolded jokingly, then turned to chat with Lin Xia, "You look a bit heavier than before the New Year when you left! Are you still throwing up?"

Lin Xia was willing to chat casually with Hao Xiaoyun, "The vomiting has lightened up a lot! But sometimes when I smell something peculiar, I still feel nauseous."

"That’s normal! You’re fortunate enough already! Look at Yang Wanmeng, she’s still vomiting at this stage!"
