Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Returning Kindness with Ingratitude

Although Han Chaohui was a bit upset, he knew that his second uncle was right.

He had been tricked into revealing information, and apart from knowing that the person was an old acquaintance of his grandfather, he knew nothing else and had spilled everything about his family, which was indeed quite foolish.

Han Chaohui then recounted the events of that day when Qiu Shaocheng came to the house, and didn’t forget to mention how he bragged to his second uncle and got scolded, telling everyone about it.

The room fell into silence. Over the years, everyone treated Han Chunli as a responsibility. No matter how reckless she was, they tolerated her, firstly because she was the youngest in the family, and secondly, due to the promise they made to their father on his deathbed.

But never did they expect that Han Chunli was not part of the Han Family. At least, it wasn’t one of those melodramatic plots and had nothing to do with their father, or it would have been infuriating.

Han Jingheng was the first to speak: "Jingchen, things aren’t as simple as you say, are they?"

Han Jingchen nodded: "According to my investigation, it’s very likely that father was set up back then. However, we still need to get Qiu Shaocheng himself to confirm it. This matter will soon come to a conclusion. I called everyone over today to let you know about these things, so we won’t be kept in the dark and be used again.

Also, it’s very possible that Wanqing’s matter is related to Han Chunli as well. By telling you in advance, I just want to let you know that in my heart, Wanqing and her daughter are like my life. If it turns out that this has something to do with Han Chunli, no one should plead for her, or else don’t blame me for turning against you.

Moreover, until things are clear, no one is allowed to mention anything about this to Han Chunli."

Everyone could accept that Han Chunli was not a member of the Han Family, but none of them could accept that Gu Wanqing and her daughter’s matters could be related to Han Chunli.

Han Chunxue’s eyes reddened: "Second Brother, is there any news about Second Sister-in-law and my niece?"

Han Jingchen shook his head with a grave expression: "Not yet, but there are some leads. My people are searching."

Back then, when something happened to Sister-in-law’s family, it was my suggestion for her to go to East Province to find Second Brother. But unexpectedly, later both Sister-in-law and my niece went missing. Previously, I didn’t think the matter was suspicious, but now that Second Brother says it might have to do with Chunli.

She suddenly remembered that at that time, Chunli happened to be in East Province. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. If the disappearance of Second Sister-in-law and my niece really is related to Han Chunli, what creature has the Han Family been raising?

What is this, biting the hand that feeds you?

Undoubtedly, Han Jingchen’s words made everyone present hostile towards Han Chunli. Han Chunli’s selfishness over the years had already displeased everyone.

Now, knowing that Han Chunli is not a real member of the Han Family, besides being selfish, she’s even involved in Gu Wanqing and her daughter’s disappearance, how can the Han Family remain calm as before?

Han Jingchen wanted precisely this effect; he didn’t want his relatives to step up and protect Han Chunli in the future like his father did.

When Han Jingheng was leaving, he said sincerely: "Second, do what you want to do. Over the years, we’ve kept our promises, and I believe if Father knew he had raised a thankless person and harmed his descendants, he would agree with your approach. When you need us to help, just say a word."

At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Han Family, Su Aihong, also said: "Yes, Jingchen, when you need us to help, just speak."

Han Jingchen nodded: "I will."

Su Aihong and Han Chunli have always been at odds, but due to the grandfather’s instructions, she had been enduring. Now, knowing about Han Chunli’s affairs, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No other reason, because yesterday Han Chunli came to the house, saying she wanted to borrow money.

At the time, I sent her away under the pretense of having no money, but I knew Han Chunli wouldn’t give up, she was likely to come back, and now, I no longer have to be polite.

Han Chunxue’s husband, Sun Baowei, didn’t say anything, just stepped forward and patted his second brother-in-law’s shoulder in comfort, knowing that if things turned out to be true, his second brother-in-law wouldn’t spare anyone who harmed his wife and daughter.

After everyone left, Han Jingchen gave an order to Su Jingsong: "Send someone to bring Qiu Shaocheng."

Su Jingsong acknowledged the order: "Yes, I’ll arrange it right away."
