Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Discovery

Zhang Haisheng first took the children to the restaurant for a meal. Since he was on a business trip, the expenses would be reimbursed, so treating the kids wasn’t a problem.

The children were happy. Although they were just passing through the city, they knew they were particularly close to home and would certainly be home tomorrow.

While eating, Zhao Xiaole and Hai Jun saw Xu Hongbing.

And they saw him with a woman, looking quite intimate.

They were just kids and didn’t know much, but Zhang Haisheng knew.

He frowned. What did Xu Hongbing mean by this? He initially thought not to get involved, but he caught Zhao Xiaole staring at him. This made him a bit embarrassed.

Hai Jun didn’t know what was going on. However, he was quick-witted and after thinking for a while, his face suddenly drained of color. His mom had told him before that his aunt’s former husband left her because he got involved with another woman.

Could his dad also be with another woman?

"Sis, Hai Jun and I are going out for a bit, we’ll be right back. Don’t worry, we’re in the city, and there are two of us."

"Don’t take too long. We’ll be leaving soon."

Zhang Haisheng also stood up. "I’ll go with the two of them. You stay at the restaurant. If you’ve finished eating and they don’t let you stay, wait for us outside. Xiao Ling, you’re older, keep an eye on them."

Zhao Xiaoling nodded. Zhang Haisheng had already hurried out.

Zhao Xiaole took Hai Jun’s hand, and they ran in the direction they saw Xu Hongbing earlier.

"Hai Jun, no matter what you see, don’t make a sound. We’re still young. Just tell Auntie later."

"But..."

"No buts, you have to listen, or I won’t take you with me."

"I’m the older brother."

"Can you listen to me?"

"I’ll listen."

After a short run, they caught up with Xu Hongbing and his company. With so many people on the street, Xu Hongbing didn’t notice them. He carried a basket, smiling as he talked to the woman by his side.

They seemed very close, and they could even hear Xu Hongbing’s laughter.

Hai Jun was a bit angry, so he tightened his grip on Xiao Le’s hand.

"Hongbing, are you going back this year?"

"I have to go back."

"All your women, I didn’t demand for you to marry me, but I want a man with me for the New Year."

The two kids behind heard everything clearly. Xiao Le held Hai Jun’s hand.

"Hongbing, even though you just give me money every year, I still stay with you. You only come around this time to be with me for a short while. I have to wait for you for months."

"What’s wrong with that? That woman at home earns money for you. You just wait to spend it."

Zhao Xiaole didn’t expect Xu Hongbing to say such shameless words. She heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Zhang Haisheng.

In just an unguarded moment, Hai Jun broke free from her hand and rushed directly up to them, crashing into the woman.

A scream came over. At this point, Xu Hongbing also saw his angry son.

He frowned, while Hai Jun looked at his dad with angry resentment.

Zhao Xiaole hurriedly ran over and grabbed Hai Jun’s hand. "Didn’t I tell you not to make a sound?"

Just then, Zhang Haisheng walked up to the children. He looked at Xu Hongbing, then turned and took Hai Jun’s hand, "We should go back now."

The woman on the ground tried to struggle up, complaining, "You little brat, are you blind? How dare you bump into me? Where are your parents? Don’t think you can get away with this today; I’m taking you to the police station."

Nobody paid her any attention. She saw an elderly man trying to lead the two children away, so she got up and ran over to grab Hai Jun. But Xiao Le, who had been watching, took a step and avoided the woman’s grasp.

At this time, Zhang Haisheng turned around too. "Going to the police station sounds like a good idea. Let’s go."

Xu Hongbing came over then. "Accountant Zhang, why are the kids coming back with you?"

Zhang Haisheng didn’t answer but looked at the woman. "Let’s go to the police station to clear this up."

"Let’s go, to the police station."

Xu Hongbing grabbed the woman’s arm but then let go.

"Hai Jun."

Neither Zhao Xiaole nor Hai Jun looked back; they continued to walk forward.

"Xu Hongbing, you’ve done this; think about how to resolve it."

After speaking, Zhang Haisheng followed the two kids away.

"Hongbing."

Xu Hongbing frowned. He was a bit scared now. Even though they were in the city, he knew if the people from the farm saw, they wouldn’t say a word. If it were just Zhang Haisheng, he wouldn’t have followed them.

But now that his son had seen it, judging by the look on his face, he knew the matter would definitely get out.

If it were just Zhao Xiaojing, he thought he could handle it. But the Zhao Family wasn’t what it used to be.

"Hongbing, you know those three people? Are you just going to let them hit me like that?"

"Shut up. The one who hit you is my son."

Huang Mei was momentarily stunned, but her eyes lit up with excitement. Did this mean she had a chance? Xu Hongbing had told her before he’d never marry her.

Now that his son knew, there would definitely be a fuss, and she might have hope.

Xu Hongbing kept looking at Huang Mei. Seeing her expression, he understood her thoughts. In fact, he liked Huang Mei because of her appearance, and she was very open-minded.

But to marry her? Definitely not. He just wanted to spice up his life a bit, not break up his family for her.

"Huang Mei, let’s end this. We’re done."

"Xu Hongbing, you think you can just end it like that?"

"Yes. Don’t force me to speak out about what you’ve done. If I report you, you won’t be able to stay in this city."

Huang Mei looked at Xu Hongbing incredulously. She hadn’t expected the man who was all over her just this morning to turn on her like this?

Xu Hongbing, carrying his basket, headed directly home. He needed to pack and prepare for the worst—if the Zhao Family really got upset, he’d be in trouble.

Zhang Haisheng followed the two kids back to the restaurant, finding the three children waiting outside.

"Let’s go home. We’ll be home by tomorrow afternoon."

"Hai Jun, what’s wrong?" Zhao Xiaoling noticed something was off with her cousin.

"Sis, let’s talk at home." Zhao Xiaole stopped her sister. Hai Jun must be very upset now. But there was no choice. What happened had to be told to their family.

She really didn’t expect her second aunt’s husband to be such a person.

Zhao Xiaole understood all this because her second aunt and mom talked about her eldest aunt’s affairs in front of her.
