TRANSMIGRATING TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOM TO FIVE BIGWIGS

Chapter 31-40

Chapter 31: Startled Shao Qihai

“Brother Hai? Are you alright?”

Shao Qihai shook his head. “I’m fine. How are Little Dong and the others? Are they doing well?”

After recuperating for another month or so, Shao Qihai finally got much better and could get out of bed.

Jiang Feng, the short-haired man who had been following him, had completely recovered.

Therefore, he had gone to Shao Qihai’s hometown to inquire about the situation of the Shao Family’s children.

“It was alright when I went to ask around. Sister-in-law is taking care of them at home, but it seemed like your daughter was sent away by Auntie once. It was Sister-In-Law who brought her back.”

Shao Qihai’s expression sank. “Little Bei was sent away?”

Even though they had sent back news of his passing, it had only been a short time. How could they have sent Little Bei away? It wasn’t like the Shao Family couldn’t afford to raise a child.

Everything else aside, the money that he had sent back over the years should be enough to raise the children as long as they used it wisely.

How could she…

Shao Qihai knew that Zhao Lan wasn’t as good as he had imagined, but he hadn’t expected her to give Little Bei away.

Of course, he hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to bring her back either. Besides, she was currently still taking care of the children.

“You said Mu Jingzhe is still taking care of the children and hasn’t returned to her maternal home?”

“Yes, I remember your instructions. I didn’t dare go directly to the Great Eastern Village. However, I found the people from your village who came to the market and asked around.” Jiang Feng nodded affirmatively.

Shao Qihai had a complicated expression on his face. Everything had exceeded his expectations since he had woken up after escaping death a few months ago. To think that Zhao Lan, whom he had thought would raise the children no matter what, had actually sent Little Bei away…

On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe, whom he had married by accident and hadn’t pinned any hopes on, hadn’t returned to her parents’ home. Instead, she had stayed on at the Shao Residence to take care of the children and had even brought Little Bei back.

He’d thought she would have gone home long ago.

It was also right for her to go home. Although they’d gotten married, they had only been husband and wife in name.

His most memorable impression of Mu Jingzhe was her striking hair, eyebrows, and red lips. He couldn’t remember what her face looked like in detail.

Shao Qihai snapped out of his reverie and saw Jiang Feng hesitate to speak.

“What else is there? Just tell me. I can take it.”

“Actually, I also heard a piece of news. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s said that the Shao Family split up the family assets. Your younger brother and your children got their share, and Auntie is now living with your oldest brother.”

Shao Qihai’s first thought was that this was absurd. “How is that possible? How can they split up the family assets when they’re just kids?”

Previously, Eldest Brother Shao had told him that they were brothers with an unbreakable bond. Even though he knew that what he’d said was a little fake, it wasn’t so fake that they’d need to split up the family assets, right?
