Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 690 - 689: Raging Like Thunder

In the middle of the night, Meng Xiangzi’s uncle, Hua Yongbing, and his family were deeply asleep.

An unexpected, forceful knocking at the door woke everyone abruptly.

Hua Yongbing’s wife hurried to the door to open it.

"Yongfang is here! She’s crying so hard! It seems like she has something urgent to discuss with you, you better go to the study!"

Hua Yongbing was woken by his wife, put on his glasses, draped a garment around himself, and entered the study.

Meng’s mother stood beside the desk, her eyes red and swollen from crying, rendering him baffled.

"Yongfang! What has happened to you? Did you have a fight with Old Meng?" said Hua Yongbing as he yawned.

He had worked late into the night, and having just fallen into a deep sleep, being dragged out of his warm bed made him very tired.

This was his own younger sister; had it been someone else, he surely would have been enraged!

Yongfang, who was indeed Meng’s mother, rubbed her eyes and hoarsely explained, "Big brother! There’s nothing wrong between me and Old Meng! It’s about our Xiangzi!"

Hua Yongbing immediately perked up and anxiously asked, "What happened to Xiangzi? What’s the matter?"

Having no daughters among his four sons, he was exceptionally doting of his niece.

Yongfang composed herself and quickly narrated what had occurred.

Hua Yongbing’s face grew darker as he listened, looking like a storm was about to hit.

Even if Yongfang noticed, she had no choice but to continue pleading. Her children were now in the police station, and if things were not handled well, it could jeopardize their entire future!

"...Big brother! Now Xiangzi has been detained, and Xiangnan is also being interrogated! Old Meng is there looking after them...

I beg you to help them! The children truly made this mistake unintentionally!

Xiangzi did it out of anger for Xiangnan! Besides, that classmate of Xiangnan’s isn’t seriously hurt, and I heard he can be discharged tomorrow..."

Hua Yongbing’s face instantly turned half black with anger, he could never have imagined his adored niece would do something so disgraceful!

If outsiders heard what she had done, what would they say behind her back?

"How utterly preposterous! Who taught her to act like this? Seeking gangsters for revenge! There’s not a trace of the education befitting a lady of status..."

Hua Yongbing roared in anger for a while as Yongfang just wiped her tears on the side. What more could she say when her daughter had already done such a thing?

She could only hope that her elder brother would lend a hand, otherwise if her daughter’s workplace found out, things might get worse...

After venting his rage, Hua Yongbing felt slightly better. Although disappointed in his niece, he could not just stand by as her uncle.

"Enough! Stop your crying! I’ll find someone to handle this and try to keep this from staining the children’s records!

But you should also visit that classmate of Xiangnan and express your apologies, give some compensation! Let’s turn this big issue into a smaller one!

If the other party has any demands, we can address them. Settling this quietly should avoid further issues!"

Yongfang quickly wiped her tears and hesitated to speak, "Big brother! There’s another issue!"

Hua Yongbing frowned impatiently, "What now? Can’t you just say it all at once?" He was on the brink of losing his patience with his sister! At a time like this, why was she still hesitating so much!

Yongfang licked her dry lips, struggling to say, "We only found out after going to the police station, that classmate of Xiangnan is... is Shao’s foreign grandson’s little uncle!"

If his identity had not been so prominent, just from a lesser-known family, wouldn’t she have already considered the solutions her elder brother proposed?

But they are not ordinary people, most likely those methods would be ineffective.

So, she had hurriedly come seeking help under the cover of night!

With a loud "crash," the teacup in Hua Yongbing’s hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered!

Hua Yongbing’s eyes widened, and he immediately flew into a rage!

"My former superior’s grandson’s brother-in-law? Has Meng Xiangzi lost her mind?"

Hua Yongbing’s face turned an ashen color as he pointed at Hua Yongfang and cursed furiously, "What does she have in her head, straw? What is she playing at? And hiring thugs to rob people?

Does she think that having me as her uncle means she can strut around... committing misdeeds without fear?"

Hua Yongfang trembled with fear. She had anticipated her older brother’s reaction before coming, but she hadn’t expected it to be even more intense than she imagined!

She didn’t know how to respond and could only sob and explain, "Big brother! Xiangzi certainly didn’t know beforehand, how could she do such a foolish thing if she knew? She’s well aware of your relationship with Old Shao!"

"I really don’t know what to say! How do you usually teach your children... a young lady not liking someone and resorting to thugs, she’s not afraid of being victimized by those hooligans... suffering more harm..."

Hua Yongbing felt as though he was so angry that smoke was about to billow from his head, but Meng Xiangzi was his niece, and no matter how angry he was or how harsh his words, he couldn’t completely ignore her.

But with Old Shao...

Originally, when Old Shao’s grandson, Lu Zheng, got married, he had attended the wedding.

He had also met Lu Zheng’s wife, whose maternal grandfather was Old Qin, her family background was not inferior.

He had witnessed how much Old Shao valued this granddaughter-in-law.

He still remembered a few months ago when Old Shao was seriously ill, he visited him in the hospital room and further perceived the old man’s affection for the young woman.

Meng Xiangzi had chosen someone to bully his brother, a grievance he couldn’t possibly swallow easily himself!

He paced anxiously in his study, thinking of what to do.

Hua Yongfang hardly dared to breathe, fearing that provoking her big brother might result in his refusal to help.

Hua Yongbing’s family, hearing the loud disturbance from the study, also quietly ran to the door to listen. When they heard the content of the discussion, they quickly returned to their rooms...

At breakfast time, at Shao Chengzhi’s house.

Lu Zheng shared some details behind Lin Dong’s beating at the dining table.

He had come back too late last night and had only spoken to his wife, so he took the opportunity while everyone was present to bring up the matter, lest they remain in the dark.

All listeners were greatly surprised; none had expected such a turn of events.

Qin Zeming, unfamiliar with Meng Xiangzi’s family situation, upon hearing that his grandson had been schemed against by a classmate’s sister, immediately expressed his anger,

"Such a malicious person must be severely punished! After we pick up Lin Dong from the hospital, I’m going to have a talk with an old friend!"

He definitely wouldn’t let anyone who secretly harmed his grandson get away with it!

Shao Chengzhi initially showed a flicker of confusion, which quickly disappeared, and then he also made his stance clear, "Old Qin! Rest assured, with the two of us old guys here, we’ll definitely get justice for the child! We absolutely can’t let Lin Dong suffer in vain!"

After the meal, he privately asked Lu Zheng, "Xiaozheng! This name, Meng Xiangzi, sounds familiar to me. Who is in her family?"

Lu Zheng clarified for Shao Chengzhi, "Grandpa! Her uncle is Hua Yongbing!"

Shao Chengzhi’s face darkened immediately, "It turns out it was his niece behind all this!" He quickly noticed some inconsistencies, "But, did she really target Lin Dong because of a competitive relationship with her brother..."

Lu Zheng didn’t withhold any details and shared everything concisely with Shao Chengzhi...
