Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 733 - 705: New Project

The little one didn’t fall asleep until past eleven. The next day was the second day of the Chinese New Year. Han Yi had to work, so Lin Wan took Little Star to Grandpa’s house. Today was supposed to be a visit to her parental home, but Lin Wan knew her brother and sister-in-law wouldn’t go home, they’d definitely be at Grandpa’s house.

So she went directly because her aunt would be there today. Since acknowledging the relatives, Lin Wan hadn’t visited her aunt’s home yet.

However, today Lin Wan met Wang Leqin in the big courtyard at Grandpa’s. Upon seeing her, Wang Leqin took her home.

Turns out, Wang Leqin really wanted to study abroad. But this matter caused the couple to divorce.

"Now, even my family opposes my going abroad, so I had no choice but to choose a school in Z City. Anyway, with Gao Ran, I’ve found we have too little in common. He thinks I’m crazy about everything I do now; in his eyes, I’m just not right in the head. This situation distresses me. Life in their home is oppressive and unhappy. Xiao Wan, I got married to form a family, to be happier, not to live this kind of life. So I chose to divorce him, and I know what divorce means for a woman, but I don’t regret it. Xiao Wan, don’t laugh at me, but now you’re the only one left I can talk to."

Lin Wan understood Wang Leqin’s current mood; she just wanted to find someone to encourage her a bit, someone who could support her.

"Leqin, if life isn’t going well, then just divorce. You two don’t have kids yet, so find a man who shares your goals in the future. It’s the new era; we women can hold up half the sky. Having ambition and wanting to do what you love isn’t wrong."

Wang Leqin cried tears of joy hearing Lin Wan’s words. She held Lin Wan’s hand and said, "Finally, someone who understands me. Really, Xiao Wan, I envy you. Look at you, getting into your favorite university, leading your family to prosperity. Your family and husband support you unconditionally. I just can’t figure out why things don’t work out for me."

But now it doesn’t matter. Leaving that home, I don’t have to watch their faces anymore. As for my parents, it’s relatively easier with them. They just don’t understand why I divorced.

It’s okay that they don’t understand for now. After all, they’re my parents, and with time, they’ll forgive me.

Also, I’ve rented a shop on the second floor of the new department store on Wutong Street. I’ve opened a large shop there.

Xiao Wan, after the New Year, when you have time, come by and check out my shop. I’d like your input."

"Sure, I know that department store, it’s right next to my family’s restaurant."

Wang Leqin smiled and nodded, "Yes, that’s the place."

"Alright, I’ll make sure to visit you over there someday."

Lin Wan stayed at Wang Leqin’s house for a while where they talked for a bit, and Wang Leqin’s mood improved a lot. When leaving, Wang Leqin specially gave Little Star a treat, and upon returning to Grandpa’s house and opening it, it turned out to be a box of chocolates.

Lin Wan thought to herself that Wang Leqin’s family wasn’t simple at all, managing to get such foreign goods.

Kids love these things the most, so Lin Wan quickly had Little Star share them with everyone.

Peng Le playfully grabbed a piece of chocolate from the kids, put it into his mouth, exclaimed "So delicious, Sister Xiao Wan, where did you get this? It’s truly tasty."

"It was from Wang Leqin to Star."

Just as Lin Wan finished speaking, Lin Yuan was Surprised and hurried beside her, saying, "Xiao Wan, what did Wang Leqin want with you?"

"Nothing much, just chatting."

"Did you talk about why she divorced?"

"Nope, didn’t mention it. Just chatted about her bridal shop at the new department store and mentioned she wants me to check it out when I’m free."

Lin Yuan didn’t quite believe it; seeing Lin Wan unwilling to elaborate, she didn’t ask any further. However, the recent divorce drama of Wang Leqin was widely talked about in the courtyard, so most knew what happened.

She didn’t get along well with Wang Leqin, but didn’t want to gossip behind her back.

....

"Ever since Xiao Chi got to know this Ye Qing, our family hasn’t been peaceful at all. Look, for several years, there’s not been a peaceful year, and now such a big incident happened. What should we do, Xiao Chi is still locked up in jail. Is there really no way this time?" The New Year’s Day was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but the Mei Family was filled with anger. Xie Lingzhi sat in the living room with red eyes, talking while wiping away tears.
