Chapter 348: Chapter 347 You Have Become More Beautiful

But the hurdle in her heart was tough to overcome. Lin Xia considered herself a person who could ruthlessly cut ties when necessary.

She didn’t know what horrible things she might do when faced with excessive treatment by Lu Zheng’s family.

Perhaps it would be better if she didn’t meet his family.

Once they met, would she and he still have a future?

But now, she had no choice in the matter, as Lu Zheng’s mother had already come. She could only prepare herself to face the situation calmly and accept whatever bad outcome might result.

Listening to the slightly heavier breathing on the other end of the phone, Lu Zheng spoke gently, "Okay, Xiaoxia! Take your time to think, and wait for me..." It might be better to discuss everything when they met in person.

Some things just couldn’t be clearly conveyed over the phone.

Shao Meirou didn’t go to see Lin Xia. Where did she go?

Turns out she was weighed down with heavy thoughts and returned to the provincial city.

She didn’t know what to say to Lin Xia. Initially, her quiet visit was merely to see what kind of girl her son was constantly thinking about.

Now that she had seen her, while her appearance and character weren’t too bad, the fact that she was a merchant without a formal job made Shao Meirou look down on her from the bottom of her heart.

What was there to talk about with someone like her?

To tell her face to face to stop entangling herself with Lu Zheng from her family?

She couldn’t bring herself to do such a demeaning thing.

Besides, if her son found out, his temperament would assuredly lead him to create a fuss with her.

Shao Meirou was very concerned about the fact that the woman was clearly called Lin Xia but wrote her name as Xia Lin in the letter.

She felt there was something fishy.

She suspected there was something she didn’t know about.

Otherwise, why not write her real name?

So, after she returned, she began to have someone investigate the matter.

Fang Youlan learned from Shao Meirou that her grandson had chosen such a partner, and she was sulking at home.

"This child! How can he be so obstinate! It’s infuriating! What is wrong with Ye Lin? Why does he have to be like his father, picking someone from a poor family!"

Fang Youlan felt that her eldest son and grandson were both shortsighted and unable to see reality clearly.

Everyone aimed to marry into a high and mighty family like the Yue Family, yet these two preferred people from humble backgrounds.

She really didn’t know who they took after!

Lu Guangqi watched Fang Youlan pacing back and forth and sighed softly.

"Regarding this matter, I think we, as grandparents, should not interfere! Because of Pengcheng and that woman back then, he has been cold towards us for years. Do you really want to make the grandson do the same?"

He used to be puzzled. He too disapproved of the nurse his son had chosen back in the day.

Which is why, when Fang Youlan took steps to separate them, not only did he not stop her, but he even did things to facilitate their breakup.

So many years had passed, and he still had regrets.

His eldest son and daughter-in-law were respectful, yet distant, toward each other.

Rarely together and often apart, they led an utterly joyless life.

Sometimes he would wonder, if things hadn’t happened as they did, perhaps their lives would have been different?

Fang Youlan didn’t like hearing this, "What’s wrong with being grandparents? He is my grandson, isn’t he? You don’t know what kind of person that woman is! Meirou went there, and you wouldn’t guess—no job to speak of, and she’s a trader!

Xiaozheng can find anyone he wants, why does he have to pick someone so far away, and a merchant at that?"

Fang Youlan couldn’t wrap her head around it; no matter how she looked at it, her grandson and that woman were mismatched.

It wasn’t just a simple matter of being from different social statuses, but rather like one was from heaven and the other from earth.

"But a merchant is indeed a bit... but you haven’t even met her, what if she’s not bad? Besides, not having a job doesn’t matter, if she really ends up with Xiaozheng, having a job would be the same as not having one, right?" Lu Guangqi offered a different perspective, if they were to marry, she would definitely live with her grandson. Did it really matter what she did for a living?

Fang Youlan placed one hand on her hip and waved the other dismissively, "Talking to me is pointless, I just don’t agree with Xiaozheng being with that woman, it won’t do. I have to give Meirou a call to ask her, maybe we should have Pengcheng come back too and sit down together to talk this over..."

At times like this, as his father, he must step in and take control, or else Xiaozheng would flip the sky upside down.

What if that woman had ulterior motives and took the opportunity to seduce Xiaozheng into doing something improper, by then we would be in a passive position..." The more Fang Youlan spoke, the more she felt it was possible, she sat next to the telephone, ready to make the call.

Lu Guangqi waved his hand in irritation, "You handle it!" Grandchildren have their own fortunes, he didn’t want to meddle in these matters anymore.

This time, Lu Zheng’s visit wasn’t a sudden attack.

He enjoyed the treatment of being picked up at the station.

Lin Xia looked at Lu Zheng, who seemed to have lost some weight. With his white shirt and black pants, he stood out strikingly.

Her nose tingled with emotion, but her lips curled into a smile.

Lu Zheng’s usually serious face and cold eyes instantly lit up with a smile the moment he saw Lin Xia.

He gazed at the person he longed for day and night, and she appeared even more beautiful.

In a simple sky-blue shirt and jeans, she looked distinctively different.

It had been half a year since they last saw each other, not just Lu Zheng, but Lin Xia was also excited.

They gazed at each other as if no one else existed around them.

They created their little world.

Their exchange of looks contained a myriad of words, yet it only lasted a few seconds.

"Xiaoxia!" Lu Zheng’s strides were large as he rushed to Lin Xia’s side.

Lin Xia asked softly, "Was your trip smooth?"

"Yeah! How long have you been here?" Lu Zheng’s eyes remained locked on her.

Lin Xia looked up at him with a smile, "I just got here a little while ago!"

Lu Zheng, looking at her smiling, whispered, "You’ve become even more beautiful!"

His girl was exuding more charm by the day; he really needed to marry her soon.

"What are you saying!" Lin Xia, who was usually adept at talking to all kinds of people in her business, now felt inexplicably shy.

"Let’s go! Xiaoqiu has prepared the meal at home!"

"Sure!" Lu Zheng was amenable; he knew this bustling place wasn’t for talking.

They both had a lot to say to each other but didn’t know where to start in this noisy environment.

Lin Xia tried hard to keep herself calm so as not to stare at Lu Zheng like a love-struck fool.

"Let’s send the stuff to my house first, have breakfast, and then I’ll take you to visit my new store. We can have lunch at my second brother’s place!"

"Alright!" Lu Zheng had no objections, "As long as I can be with you, that’s all that matters!"

Having met, he naturally wanted to spend more time with Lin Xia, no matter where they went.

Lin Xia felt a sweetness inside, like drinking honey, "Actually, me too!!"

If it weren’t for her older brother still working there, and not wanting Lu Zheng’s family to know about their relationship,

She had wanted to visit Lu Zheng several times; she really missed him.
