Chapter 1135: Chapter 877: Mei Langchi’s Retribution (2)_2

He originally thought of just living well like this, but now that his leg is like this, he felt too ashamed to face others. After returning here, he let Li Xiao’ai handle everything.

Li Xiao’ai didn’t blame him; instead, she patiently advised him, and gradually his mindset underwent a significant change. A career needs to be pursued, otherwise how would he support his wife and unborn child?

When Li Xiao’ai was about to give birth, Mei Langchi sent a car to bring Xie Lingzhi over.

On an autumn afternoon, Mei Langchi’s first child was born, a daughter. Even though it was a daughter, Mei Langchi was overjoyed because it was, after all, his own child.

Xie Lingzhi was slightly disappointed, but it was only for a moment. Anyway, they could have a second child; fines could be paid if necessary, and they could have another one later. Regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, they’re still her grandchildren, and this time there would be no mistake; this one is definitely her son’s biological child.

Li Xiao’ai also knew it was a daughter and feared that her mother-in-law and Mei Langchi wouldn’t be happy, so she was particularly sweet-tongued when Xie Lingzhi was around, making Xie Lingzhi laugh and take care of her all the time. She was also particularly attentive to her granddaughter.

...

When the children were on summer break, they clamored to go to Grandma’s house. Lin Wan packed up for the two kids and prepared to go with Han Yi to take the children there.

It happened to coincide with Lijuan and You Pei’s wedding, which was held in the Capital City. Lin Wan, Han Yi, and Hu Dong had also gone there at the time, and this time they were just having a banquet in S City.

The two of them worked pretty fast. In just a few months, they sorted out their marriage plans.

At this wedding, Hu Dong even brought his girlfriend, who is a cousin of Yang Kui Bao. They were from the same university. Usually, Hu Dong and Yang Kui Bao hung out together, and over time they got to know each other. The young lady said she was the one who pursued Hu Dong initially.

The mother-in-law and Uncle Hu didn’t quite like her background, saying that she was too well-bred and might be difficult to please if she were brought into the family.

Hu Dong quickly persuaded them, saying many good things in front of his mother-in-law and Uncle Hu for his young girlfriend, which dispelled their doubts.

However, when marriage was mentioned, Hu Dong hesitated a bit, saying that they were still young and wanted to wait another two years.

The mother-in-law didn’t rush them but told them that it shouldn’t be more than two years.

After Lin Wan and Han Yi dropped off the kids, they stayed two more days in S City, reminiscing with old comrades and visiting some friends.

The ones still here were Ning Jiang, Huang Guozhong, and Qin Hongbing. They were doing well in their development in the north, and now, their wives have their own careers here, so they didn’t want to keep transferring around.

Especially Shi Lan, who was single-handedly managing such a large business, which was getting better and better. Last year, when there wasn’t enough space, she directly sought Pei Bai to rent the land she’s using now and expanded a bit beside it.

My sister-in-law, seeing the land prices skyrocketing over the past two years, regretted not buying earlier. Now that she sees Shi Lan has bought that piece of land, she bought some too. Regardless of how business goes in the future, at least there would be assets on hand. Furthermore, business has been consistently good these past two years. The two families re-planned and built a two-story building beside it for office use, as they need salespeople to expand the business. Over these two years, they hired seven or eight salespeople who travel across the country. Surely, business will keep getting better.

Ever since Grandma passed away, they’ve had less contact with the first and second uncles. There was more contact with Lele, so they had a better understanding of the situation on the second uncle’s side. The first uncle’s side often only took care of themselves, and the cousin and Shen Rong rarely visited.

Shen Rong’s other hotel has also started operating normally, and business is good. Both businesses are doing well. Shen Rong has finally made it through tough times, and life is getting better, plus that person seems good, being particularly nice to Shen Rong and Ranran.

Shen Rong must have feelings for him too; otherwise, she wouldn’t have entrusted the family lodge to him to manage. She was testing him. If he isn’t after money, does things honestly, and treats the mother and daughter well, then surely he could be relied upon.

After Lin Wan and Han Yi stayed a few days in S City and settled the kids, they returned to Z City. A few days ago, Lin Wan saw an advertisement on TV for a national fashion design competition and wanted to represent her factory in the competition.

So, next, she would need to focus intently on her creations, striving to produce the best work and carve out her place in the design world. It wouldn’t have been in vain after so many years of effort. Fortunately, the kids wouldn’t be around for the next two months, and the factory wasn’t very busy in the summer. She now spent every day cooped up at home. In the evenings, Han Yi taught her how to use the computer to search for information online.

In this way, within a month, Lin Wan designed three different series of styles but still felt they weren’t perfect.

Seeing that she had been cooped up for a month, Han Yi thought her mind might become dull, so he planned a rest day to take her out for a two-day excursion.

Ever since they had children, they really hadn’t gone out much. Han Yi didn’t take her to far places. A while ago, when he went suburban to test an instrument, he found a nice fish pond. They could fish there.

So, Han Yi prepared everything in advance and took her there to fish, and they had a barbecue. This time, it was just the two of them, no one else.

"How did I not know such a nice place existed here?" Around the fish pond, many lotus flowers were planted, and there was just the right amount of shade from the trees by the roadside. Occasionally, a light breeze blew; it was perfect for a barbecue.
