Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 934 - 769: Li Liang’s Parents (Part 2)

Ye Qing watched the two dazed people and smirked disdainfully before driving away.

Wei Xue wanted to drag her into trouble for her own gain. Hmph, she hasn’t considered who she’s dealing with. I’ll make things even more troublesome for you.

"Hey... Hey, why did she leave? Where is this place? Did she forget about us?" When Li Liang’s mother came back to her senses, Ye Qing’s car was already far away.

"Why shout? She did it on purpose. Making such a pointless fuss would anger anyone," said Mr. Li Liang with a sigh. "Let’s just go, walk back ourselves."

"Ugh, what kind of people are these? None of them are any good." The kind of women his son finds.

"This woman clearly isn’t good news. Since it isn’t our grandson, let’s just go back."

"Just going back like this?" Li Liang’s mother felt a bit unwilling.

"What else can we do? Staying here, expecting to celebrate New Year?"

"She says it’s not, so it isn’t? We should at least see the child before leaving."

Li Liang’s mother’s words sent Mr. Li Liang into deep thought. He felt his wife was right. They had traveled all this way; despite the child not being theirs, they should at least take a look.

"Didn’t see them bring the child today?" Mr. Li Liang frowned and asked.

Li Liang’s mother paused, then suddenly laughed. "Today is Monday; maybe the child went to school. Plus, nowadays young people like having their elders care for the kids. Probably at her mother-in-law’s place."

"Alright, we’ll stay here for a few days and wait to see the child walk by."

After making this decision, Li Liang’s parents waited but no car arrived for them. In the end, they had to walk back.

Ye Qing brought them to this place, and they had no idea how to get back. Asking passersby for directions to a hotel in Capital City proved difficult as few knew.

Ultimately, they didn’t arrive until midnight.

Ye Qing returned home to find Mei Langchi already gone. It was always like this, but she didn’t mind as long as the topic of divorce wasn’t brought up.

Home alone, Ye Qing didn’t want to cook, so she went out to eat. It was past ten at night when Mei Langchi returned, utterly exhausted.

Without even glancing her way, he went straight into his room and locked the door behind him.

Ye Qing’s face cracked into a self-mocking smile. He’s guarding against her.

Ye Qing spent two days at home, during which the two elders of the Li Family kept vigil at her door.

"This woman truly has money, bringing bags full every day. That’s worth two months of our salary," said Li Liang’s mother, standing outside for hours until her hands and feet were nearly numb. Observing Ye Qing dressed fashionably, each day involved excursions to either malls or shoe stores, with her constantly bringing bags home. What a spendthrift. "Don’t you think her husband should curb her wastefulness?"

"Why meddle? It’s not our money she’s spending," noted Mr. Li Liang, his concern focused elsewhere; two days in and still no sight of the child.

"Maybe we should inquire. Just waiting around isn’t practical," they said. Following Ye Qing around yielded no glimpse of the child.

"Didn’t we ask when we arrived? Folks said they just moved, and nobody knows much about them in this area. My guess is that Sunday is their usual time to see the child."

Li Liang’s mother sneered at Ye Qing’s house, "These parents — after all this time, they haven’t checked on the child they left with the grandparents."

"Didn’t they just visit on Sunday? Stop complaining. You’re the one who wanted to see the child, and after two days, you’re already impatient."

"Oh, I’m not impatient. I just disapprove of the woman spending lavishly."

The elderly couple argued briefly and as it was late with little chance Ye Qing would go out, returned early to the hotel.

On the third day, Ye Qing rose early and prepared a lavish breakfast for Mei Langchi, hoping to discuss returning to the family compound.

With the Li Family elders here daily, they hadn’t seen Old Mrs. Mei or Xie Lingzhi. How could they forge relationships and curry favor without rekindling ties?

A visit was necessary.

While eating, Ye Qing casually and subtly introduced the topic, careful not to project overt intentions lest Mei Langchi suspect she was up to something. "By the way, Langchi, our factory just rolled out some nice cotton shoes, and I brought a pair for you to try later. With the New Year around the corner, shops have stocked lovely clothes, so I bought wool garments for grandpa, grandma, mom, and Hua Hua. With the bleak weather hinting at snow, let’s head back to the old house today to deliver the clothes."
