Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 350 - 349: Am I still considered bad?

Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Am I still considered bad?

Lin Xia smashed his broad and sturdy back with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, "Humph! You’re too bad!"

As a result, she ended up hurting her own hand.

Lu Zheng chuckled deeply, "Xiaoxia! You think this is bad?"

Lin Xia tilted her chin up slightly and challenged, "How is it not?"

Lu Zheng just smiled without saying a word, he had worse tricks up his sleeve that he hadn’t used yet.

Lin Xia also realized that guy in front of her might be thinking up something, so she pinched him on the waist.

"Humph!"

The two of them bantered and teased each other all the way, feeling like they had reached their destination in no time at all.

They were early; not a single employee was there yet.

Lu Zheng looked at the stores on both sides and asked, "Which one’s yours?"

"Meimei!" Lin Xia glanced at the store across the way that was still closed, whispering to Lu Zheng, "That one diagonally opposite, it’s Lin Yu’s boyfriend’s!"

Lu Zheng remembered Lin Xia mentioning that this Lin Yu was her stepmother’s daughter.

His expression turned a bit serious, "Why haven’t you told me about this before?"

This girl must have been hiding a lot from him!

Lin Xia stuck out her tongue lightly, "She hasn’t really come by later on, so I never mentioned it to you." She quickly unlocked the door.

Lu Zheng took a few more glances at the store across the way.

After following Lin Xia inside, he saw that the not-so-small shop had a dazzling array of everything.

"What do you think?" Lin Xia asked with a smiling face, looking for praise.

"It’s really nice!" Lu Zheng had to admire once more, his girl was truly capable.

A lot of guys her age didn’t have as many ideas or the guts to execute them as she did.

Lin Xia then took him to tour the backyard, and after the two returned to the shop, they found stools to sit down.

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?" Lu Zheng inquired nonchalantly.

Lin Chun had returned to her unit and hadn’t spoken to him about the issues at home either.

It seemed, there were quite a few things.

Although he understood that Lin Xia’s intent was probably to keep him from worrying, as a boyfriend, was it not a bit negligent not to know anything at all?

Moreover, what he was most concerned about was whether Jiang Mingyuan had offered to help in Lin Xia’s family matters.

Lin Xia didn’t hide anything from him; she hadn’t wanted to mention it before because it was a long story, not something that could be covered in a sentence or two.

She thought about writing him a letter, but knew he would just worry.

"... My stepmother’s son went to our place to commit theft and arson during a crackdown and was sentenced to ten years. After that, my stepmother was stricken with a stroke from the anger toward that mother of the other sentenced criminal and became half-paralyzed. Now, I hear she’s recovering quite well...

Lin Yu was dating the owner from diagonally across the street, and when they first opened, they even got someone from the tax office to come cause trouble. Later, we had a competition...

They then got married and she got pregnant; after so much time passed, we’re basically just sticking to our own businesses..."

After hearing everything, Lu Zheng felt utterly astonished. So many things had happened while he was not by Lin Xia’s side.

"Xiaoxia! From now on, don’t hide anything from me!" Inside, he didn’t hear anything about Jiang Mingyuan, and for some reason, he felt a sense of relief.

"Alright! I won’t hide anything from you in the future!" Lin Xia said. But what she thought was that if something really happened and he was far away, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it anyway, so it was better not to let him worry.

How could Lu Zheng not see through her insincerity?

He was about to say something when someone entered the shop.

It was Ding Ling, who worked there.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, Ding Ling’s eyes lit up. She knew the boss had a partner from out of town but hadn’t expected him to be so handsome!

"Lin Xia! This is..."

Lin Xia introduced them, "This is my boyfriend, Lu Zheng. This is Ding Ling from the shop!"

"Hi, Big Brother Lu!" Ding Ling greeted with a smile.

Lu Zheng replied with a faint smile, "Hello!"

After putting down her small bag at the counter, Ding Ling began to fill water bottles and clean up, but her eyes kept sneaking glances at Lu Zheng, her mind buzzing with activity.

Lin Xia, seeing this, barely suppressed a laugh and took Lu Zheng to stand at the entrance.

She planned to leave with Lu Zheng as soon as Sun Xiaoli arrived.

Qian Jie, following Chen’s mother, came to open the store just in time to see Lu Zheng standing at the entrance with Lin Xia.

Both of their gazes landed on Lu Zheng, wondering what relationship he had with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia had no desire to deal with them, so she peered into the store, as if to avoid their inquisitive looks.

Chen’s mother usually didn’t speak to Lin Xia, and it was even less appropriate to speak out at this moment.

Qian Jie was completely captivated by Lu Zheng’s tall and handsome appearance; she had never in her life seen such a good-looking man.

He had even more charisma than the particularly popular movie stars!

She stared at Lu Zheng unblinkingly, her feet involuntarily moving toward him.

She was very eager to ask what relationship this man had with Lin Xia!

At that moment, her everyday jealousy and resentment towards Lin Xia evaporated.

"Lin Xia! Is this your friend?"

Lin Xia completely ignored her. Lu Zheng didn’t appreciate the sparkling eyes of this woman, so he strode past Lin Xia and headed inside.

As he passed by Lin Xia, he took her hand and led her directly into the house.

Qian Jie’s eyes widened at the scene; what more did she need to understand!

It was obvious!

This man was Lin Xia’s boyfriend!

What merits did Lin Xia have, what was good about her, to have landed such a handsome and distinctive man!

Chen’s mother had originally hoped Qian Jie could find out something.

Seeing that they had ignored her completely, she called Qian Jie over to help open the store.

Qian Jie, reluctantly tearing her gaze away one last time from the shop interior, went back across the street.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia stood next to the counter, facing each other and blinking, with a hint of teasing in their eyes.

Sun Xiaoli arrived fairly quickly, and she too was quite taken aback by Lu Zheng at first glance.

But as someone who was already married with children, she was much calmer compared to the young girls.

After giving them a few instructions, Lin Xia left with Lu Zheng.

Liu Xiaoli and Ding Ling enthusiastically gossiped about their boss’s boyfriend while wiping down the counter, both agreeing that he was incredibly handsome, even more charismatic than movie actors.

They wondered where Lin Xia had found him...

At the greenhouse, there were Liu Caifeng and Bai He, who were busy picking up goods in the morning and setting up their stall, then packing up and delivering goods in the evening.

At her second brother’s place, it was enough to go over at noon; there wasn’t anything to do, so where to spend the time during the late morning.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng went back home.

Lu Zheng wanted to stay at home with Lin Xia, to talk, chat, hold hands, share their feelings, without anyone disturbing them.

The TV was on, but Lu Zheng had no interest in watching it.

His full attention was on Lin Xia, who was sitting on the sofa beside him.

"Xiaoxia! How’s your consideration going?"

After he had ended their call that day, he had called his grandfather.

The old and the young had discussed it and felt that since his mother had already found Lin Xia’s family, it was very necessary to bring Lin Xia’s relationship with him out in the open.

Besides, Lu Zheng had also promised Shao Chengzhi that after the New Year, he would take Lin Xia to meet him.
