Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1143: Scheming

On that day, Huang Guangfeng escorted his uncle and Huang Nianshuang to the modest suburban courtyard.

Han Jingchen felt confused at first, but upon hearing their introductions, his expression darkened instantly.

Huang Guangfeng had zero interest in making this visit, yet his uncle begged him relentlessly, and when he still refused, the other family elders piled on with their persuasions.

Left with no alternative, he grudgingly agreed to come.

Uncle Huang faced the same dilemma. While he often schemed in everyday matters, he'd never crossed into outright villainy.

Who would've imagined his daughter committing such a brazen act? He'd clung to denial until lately, when disasters struck both his job and his wife's life, as though an enemy was gunning for them deliberately.

Contemplating his daughter's grave error, he turned to his nephew for help in forging this vital connection.

Han Jingchen refused them entry into the house, instead motioning toward the brand-new pavilion in the courtyard: "Let’s talk over there."

He spared them outright rejection purely out of deference to Huang Guangfeng.

In the pavilion, Uncle Huang set the gifts he'd brought onto the table: "Director Han, I am Huang Shankui, the father of that disgraceful Huang Nianshuang. I came today to apologize specifically to you, your daughter, and son-in-law."

Han Jingchen skipped the pleasantries: "You’ve come to the wrong place to apologize. My daughter and son-in-law aren’t here."

Uncle Huang rose to his feet and bowed deeply to Han Jingchen: "I’m sorry. My failure to properly educate my daughter caused her to commit such an irrational deed."

He remained ignorant of He Jinxuan and Xinyan’s early wedding night, and Han Jingchen had no intention of enlightening him. Uncle Huang pressed on: "We’ll certainly visit them too. Since Guangfeng had the day off, I brought him here first."

Preoccupied lately with his daughter’s wedding preparations, Han Jingchen declared: "I allowed you into the yard solely for Huang Guangfeng’s sake. Forgiveness isn’t my decision to make."

The Huang family uncle and nephew grasped this fully, and as the phone rang from inside the house, they realized lingering was improper and bid their farewells.

Han Jingchen eyed the gifts on the table and commanded in a tone brooking no argument: "Take these things with you. Don’t leave them here as an eyesore."

Uncle Huang longed to plead further, but Han Jingchen had already retreated indoors.

The uncle and nephew could only haul the gifts away with them.

They’d postponed the visit earlier due to the unresolved mess with Huang Nianshuang.

Meanwhile, once the scandal broke, Gao Jiangong—terrified of antagonizing the Hao Family—dumped every bit of blame on Huang Nianshuang, claiming she’d seduced him, and begged Hao Qiuye for mercy.

Hao Qiuye escalated matters, compelling Gao Jiangong to spell out the full truth before the Huang family.

He had little recourse but to obey.

Huang Nianshuang teetered on the edge of madness right then: "Gao Jiangong, I’m carrying your child! Are you trying to kill us?"

Gao Jiangong coveted the baby Huang Nianshuang bore, yet he refused to jeopardize his prospects: "Huang Nianshuang, it’s impossible between us. My heart and mind belong only to my wife."

Huang Nianshuang barely got another word out before Hao Qiuye interjected: "Huang Nianshuang, my husband has made it clear there’s no chance for you. Since the child you carry is my husband Gao Jiangong’s, we’ll raise it after you give birth."

This outcome arose from the Hao Family’s deliberations over recent days.

She and Gao Jiangong had shared a childless marriage for six years. Though the baby represented a deep insult, it promised to salvage her union, leaving her no option but acceptance.

Naturally, this hinged on Huang Nianshuang successfully delivering the child.

Gao Jiangong beamed with relief at his wife’s declaration, viewing Hao Family tolerance of the child as the perfect resolution.

This aligned precisely with his deepest wishes.

He’d originally dreaded the Hao Family uncovering Huang Nianshuang’s pregnancy, which led him to orchestrate her moves that day and fabricate a tale that the drug he supplied was merely a standard aphrodisiac, harmless beyond that.

In truth, he’d shelled out a fortune for that potion, aiming to lock in the affair’s consequences irrefutably—thus discarding Huang Nianshuang while securing a caregiver for the offspring. Shockingly, it all unraveled.
