Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband

There was no money even left for meals. Including her friend, it was the same situation.

Initially, they thought that the client had run away after receiving their goods, and that was indeed the case.

Only now did she realize that the client they dealt with was someone Ye Qing secretly enlisted to impersonate.

Ye Qing accidentally saw her during a business trip. Seeing her doing well, she was afraid she’d return home, or go find Han Yi, and then return to that dazzling Lin Family.

Thus, she hired a private detective to track her and orchestrated her bankruptcy.

Because of this incident, she stayed despondent for a long time, though her old friends did their best to help. However, support from friends was temporary, and obviously, no one can continue giving endlessly without compensation, eventually leaving her homeless on the streets for several days.

For livelihood, she became a nanny. Coupled with the rapidly evolving times, costs and house prices kept rising without any salary increase.

As a result, despite working as a nanny for so many years, she couldn’t afford her own house.

As she grew older, she increasingly missed home. Pride and such things weren’t important to her at that time.

She watched in despair as past events repeated themselves, powerless to do anything.

After Ye Qing caused her bankruptcy, she drifted around with Ye Qing.

It turned out that after framing her brother, Ye Qing was thriving in government departments and during another meeting, she met Mei Langchi...not sure how Ye Qing seduced Mei Langchi, but eventually, she became the Mei Family’s young mistress and bore Mei Langchi a son.

She didn’t know if Ye Qing’s child with Mei Langchi was biologically his. But she discovered that the old lady of the Mei Family had passed away, Old Mei trembled in limbs, his voice hoarse and unable to speak, sitting in a wheelchair every day, staring into flower pots in the courtyard.

Xie Lingzhi despised Ye Qing but reluctantly accepted her for the sake of the child she bore Mei Langchi.

Yet, when Xie Lingzhi got angry, her blood pressure soared, seemingly very serious.

During her days with Ye Qing, she saw Chen Haichang and Han Yi.

It turned out Han Yi was brought back by Old Mei. But it was only a one-sided acknowledgment. Han Yi didn’t acknowledge being Mei Shuping’s son.

Moreover, she saw Mei Shuping and Han Yi arguing over the surname issue, persuading Han Yi to revert to the Mei surname.

Han Yi disagreed and rarely went back to the Mei Family.

She wanted to leave with Han Yi, but for some reason, whenever she was more than five hundred meters away from Ye Qing, her body felt weak and uncomfortable.

She could only wander around Ye Qing, and over time, she uncovered one of Ye Qing’s secrets.

That secret was Li Kaiying; she discovered that Ye Qing secretly met Li Kaiying every once in a while, each time handing her a bank card.

Ye Qing safeguarded this matter well, never letting Mei Langchi discover it.

Later, Mei Langchi was transferred to Z City, in the same unit as Han Yi, both residing in the same residence.

Just like that, she could stay by Han Yi’s side, watching him frequently search various forums online, posting threads seeking his wife, asking friends to keep an eye out for her news. Watching Han Yi, once unfamiliar with computers, gradually become an expert, often seeking advice from her brother-in-law despite his age.

And then roamed through various forums online, sharing the wedding photos they took, the only connections they had, repeatedly facing disappointment.

Watching him dine alone, sleep alone, silently hold their photograph with reddened eyes, quietly growing old in solitude.

She wanted to hug Han Yi, wanted to give him warmth, but he couldn’t feel her. Watching him unhappy, she could only snuggle close to him, crying constantly, knowing her tears were futile, her heart ached, it ached so much.

But Han Yi couldn’t feel her pain, she wanted to tell Han Yi not to be sad, that she missed him dearly, always thinking of him all these years. But she was too foolish, too obstinate.

She couldn’t believe herself working for someone right now without realizing what barriers she couldn’t cross, refusing to contact family. So many years passed, what couldn’t she face?

She had missed far too much, lived this life in failure, such failure, letting people down, causing heartbreak to her beloved.

She failed everyone, failed an exceptionally good man.

She wanted to leave here, wanted to return to Han Yi and their daughter’s side, unable to bear seeing Han Yi in sorrow alone, afraid of it. Afraid Han Yi lived in such a manner.

This shouldn’t be Han Yi’s life; his life should be brilliant, happy, comfortable.

It shouldn’t be like this; she wanted to go back, she wanted to return, this is all a dream, it can’t be real. It’s impossible.

She wanted to return but the heavens wouldn’t allow it; whenever she went five hundred meters away from Ye Qing or more than a thousand meters from Han Yi, her body felt unwell, and she’d always return to Han Yi’s side when in her void.

After worrying for a while, she noticed Ye Qing occasionally visiting Han Yi’s house as the sister-in-law, constantly using words and actions to tease.

It turned out Mei Langchi had a mistress outside, Ye Qing knew too. They spoke frankly, but Mei Langchi persisted, and Ye Qing didn’t obstruct.

On the contrary, Ye Qing targeted Han Yi.

Ye Qing wanted both couples to have their fun separately; Mei Langchi played, so did she. Originally having a deep obsession for Han Yi, now in the same residence, maintaining a relative relationship, she often entered and exited Han Yi’s house, claiming to help her elder bachelor brother-in-law organize the house and do the laundry, persistently harassed Han Yi.

Initially, Han Yi responded coldly, later directly avoided her.

Ye Qing got the house key from Han Yi’s security personnel, coming and going without any scruples.

Han Yi had no choice but to move to his father’s place, living with his elderly father-in-law.

Rarely returning to this residence.

One day, Mei Shuping called saying Xie Lingzhi found information on several good single women in their forties for Han Yi to consider.
