I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1075: The Absurdities of My Youth

"Xiao Chuan, let me go with you!" Chen Zhe volunteered to accompany Huang Xiao Chuan when he saw Huang Xiao Chuan about to go out and busy himself with greeting people.

Huang Xiaochuan pressed him down: "You don't need to come with me. You can just sit here. I'll bring Lao Zhang and Sister Huan over later."

When Huang Xiaochuan returned to the mourning hall, Zhang Gaolei and Qi Huan had already paid their respects.

"Ogawa, my condolences!"

"Thanks!"

Huang Xiaochuan shook hands with the two men.

Zhang Gaolei, having been asked to do so, said, "Old Wu asked me to tell you that he is busy and can't get away to see the old lady off in person. He feels very guilty, but he asked me to bring a flower basket, which I have already given to my brother-in-law."

Qi Huan also said, "Xiao Chuan, after my husband Lao Ding found out about this, he immediately asked me to come over. He really couldn't get away, so he asked me to tell you and ask you to forgive him."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded in understanding. Wu Duo held an important position in the ministry, and Ding Yi was now in charge of a region in the southwest. They were both powerless to change their situation, so how could he blame them?

Suddenly, Zhang Gaolei spotted a familiar face and quickly went up to greet her, "Hello, Teacher Zhang!" He glanced at the black armband on Zhang Yun's left arm out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "Goodness, this is solid proof now. Let's see how Huang Xiaochuan explains himself."

You should know that these black armbands are not something that can be worn casually; only family members are required to wear them. What does this mean? It means that Zhang Yun is a member of the Huang family.

Zhang Yun was naturally very familiar with Zhang Gaolei. Back when she was in the United States, Zhang Gaolei was the one who handled many investment matters, including the listing of Gaze, which was all planned by Zhang Gaolei.

It was precisely because of Gaze's IPO that Zhang Gaolei, as the founder, truly became a billionaire.

However, since Zhang Yun was dismissed from her post by Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Gaolei returned to China to develop his career, the two have not seen each other again, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yun wasn't surprised at all that Zhang Gaolei was there; given his relationship with Huang Xiaochuan, she was certain he would come.

"Hello!" Zhang Yun responded.

However, before the two could exchange more than a few words, Zhang Yun was called away by Qian Jiazhen.

Huang Xiaochuan then led Zhang Gaolei and Qi Huan to the east wing. Chen Zhe was talking to Maowa and Miguo outside the door. He only stopped talking to the two children after seeing Zhang Gaolei and Qi Huan.

"Old Zhang, Sister Huan!" Chen Zhe greeted the two of them.

Just as Zhang Gaolei was about to follow Huang Xiaochuan and Qi Huan into the east wing, Chen Zhe grabbed him.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Gaolei asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Zhe asked him, "I saw you talking to a woman just now. She looked familiar, but I can't quite place her. Who was she?"

Zhang Gaolei looked at him in confusion: "You don't even recognize Teacher Zhang?"

Chen Zhe still couldn't remember: "That Teacher Zhang?"

Zhang Gaolei prompted, "Zhang Yun, the one who taught us mathematics and statistics in our sophomore year, later went to the United States, and now lives in Singapore."

Chen Zhe suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "It's her!"

Then he was puzzled again. How did Zhang Yun end up here? And why was she wearing black armbands? What was going on?

"How did she end up here?"

Zhang Gaolei would naturally not reveal that matter. What could he possibly say? That Teacher Zhang was Huang Xiaochuan's mistress? If Huang Xiaochuan knew he was talking about him behind his back like that, he would definitely be torn to shreds.

So he pretended to be clueless: "How would I know? I just happened to run into you. You got here before me, didn't you know?"

Chen Zhe thought it made sense, but he couldn't very well ask Huang Xiaochuan about it right now, so he had no choice but to keep the matter to himself for the time being.

When Maowa and Miguo saw that guests had arrived, they tactfully left the east wing. Just as they reached the courtyard gate, Miguo's phone rang.

"Miguo, I haven't seen you yesterday or today. Aren't you at school?" Miguo's boyfriend, Ji Feng, who was also her classmate, called looking for her. He sounded quite anxious.

Miguo felt a warmth in her heart and told her boyfriend the truth: "I came to Suzhou with my parents. My dad's grandmother passed away. We left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you."

The two of them started chatting intimately on the phone, which made Maowa, who was standing nearby, quite jealous.

"Cough cough cough!"

Migo rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then kept a proper distance from him.

Seeing this, Maowa simply left, giving Miguo some personal space. He would give that guy a hard time when he saw him in the future. This brother-in-law of his was not so easy to get past. He would remember this debt for now.

With nothing to do, he strolled around the garden by himself. He was very familiar with the garden because he used to come here often when he was a child.

He climbed the earthen hill in the garden because there was a pavilion on top where he could see the entire Taihu Lake.

However, after he climbed up, he found that there were already people in the pavilion, the two Singaporean brothers.

Since they had already run into each other face to face, Maowa had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet the two of them.

Since they had already run into each other face to face, Maowa had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet the two of them.

Hello!

The brothers, Yavin and Luca, were also startled by the sudden appearance of Maowa, but they immediately recognized him.

"Hello!"

Luca warmly invited the little boy to sit with them and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you!" Maowa said without any hesitation, taking the water from Luca's hand.

However, he was somewhat confused because the twins looked exactly alike, and he couldn't tell who was the older brother and who was the younger brother.

It seems the two brothers encounter this kind of thing often, so they're used to it.

"I'm the younger brother, my name is Luca!"

Now Maowa knew who was who, and he smiled and said to Luca, "You are Zhang Yang, and that is your brother Zeng Wentian."

The two brothers nodded together.

"You must be Brother Maowa!" Yawen extended his hand, and Luca followed closely behind.

Maowa also extended his hand and shook hands with each of the two brothers.

"Yes, it's me!"

"I know you're planning to study medicine in the US." Luca seems to be more outgoing; he's much more proactive than his brother, Alvin.

Maowa was quite surprised by this; he hadn't expected that the two brothers even knew about his affairs.

"Looks like you guys know quite a bit?"

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"These are all things that Grandma told us."

Maowa knew that the grandmother the two were talking about was his aunt Qian Jiazhen. If that was the case, then it made sense.

To be honest, he was also very curious about the origins of his third uncle's two sons, but the elders were very tight-lipped. He only learned some things from his mother, who was still serving time in prison, but even his mother didn't know much.

Moreover, when his father, Huang Erhe, learned that he had heard his mother tell him about this, he seriously warned him countless times not to tell anyone about it. So from a young age, he knew that this matter should not be talked about carelessly, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

Now that he's an adult, he mistakenly believes it was a foolish mistake his third uncle made when he was young. That's why the whole family has been so strict in keeping this secret.

Huang Xiaochuan, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, was unaware that his lofty image in his nephew's eyes was beginning to crumble.
