Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Why Didn’t You Tell Me Earlier?

Lin Xia continued, "I think, if my children found someone with significantly mismatched conditions, I wouldn’t be satisfied either!

So whether it’s your mom or someone else, their opposition or whatever, I am prepared mentally!

As long as they don’t play dirty, expressing some opposing opinions isn’t a big deal!"

Lin Xia admitted that she was also a very strong-willed person who didn’t like others to speak ill of her.

But her family background wasn’t something she could choose; if possible, she would have liked to come from a good family.

Lu Zheng knew that Lin Xia had always been a very rational and open-minded person.

At this moment, hearing her say such words, he could tell from the tone of her voice the complexity of her emotions.

Lu Zheng suddenly said, "My dad should be coming back soon too!"

"Your dad?" Lin Xia looked at him speechlessly, her eyes wide open, "Lu Zheng! Are you trying to make me meet all your family members? Didn’t you say before coming that we would meet your grandfather first and then..."

What happened then?

As soon as they left the station, his little uncle was already there.

Shortly after that, his grandfather, his mother, and his aunt appeared one after another.

Lu Zheng touched his nose and chuckled, "If I’m coming once, naturally I want you to meet them all!"

Lu Zheng had thought it through very clearly; if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely marry Lin Xia by the end of the year.

Having met this time, the next meeting would be at the wedding.

Lin Xia swallowed, looking at him helplessly, "I thought we were just meeting your grandfather! But I ended up meeting so many people!"

Lu Zheng said seriously, "Xiaoxia! If we want to be together, we definitely have to go through this step.

But please trust me, the process might have some small setbacks, but in the end, we will definitely be together!"

He had this confidence and determination, whoever opposed it was in vain!

Moreover, his grandfather was very supportive now.

Lin Xia was moved by the persistence and deep affection in his eyes, and she looked at him with a smile, "I know! That’s why I followed you to meet them! That being said, am I also very brave?"

If the two of them wanted to be together, they had to endure some hardships; how could there be such smooth and straightforward relationships that easily achieve fulfillment?

Moreover, the gap between them was so large.

"Very brave indeed!" Lu Zheng finally couldn’t restrain his longing, affectionately tousling her hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

If it weren’t for the wrong time and place, he really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.

Ye Lin, who had just come in from outside, saw this scene unexpectedly!

Lu Zheng, whom she had known for so many years, was always serious and his eyes cold.

She had never seen him look at someone and smile like that, his gaze so affectionate, as if his eyes and heart held only that girl.

Ye Lin quietly hid to one side and watched the two walk away, feeling uneasy and disturbed, what was their relationship?

Could they be lovers?

If so, she absolutely couldn’t accept this!

During the New Year, she had gotten along very well with Lu Zheng’s mother.

How come Lu Zheng now had a girlfriend?

Did his mother know?

Was his return a leave of absence?

Ye Lin naturally couldn’t ask Lu Zheng’s family directly, as that would make her seem tactless, wouldn’t it?

Ye Lin had someone investigate and found out that Lin Xia wasn’t living in the compound, but was staying outside.

She was pleased with the results of the investigation. Could this indirectly prove that Lu Zheng’s mother was not very satisfied with this woman?

After much deliberation, Ye Lin visited Lu Zheng’s home. Seeing Lu Zheng and that woman leaving, Lu Zheng’s mother should be at home.

Xiaofeng, the housemaid, opened the door and said that Shao Meirou was not in and had gone out.

Ye Lin could only leave disappointed.

Shortly after Lu Zheng and Lin Xia had left, Shao Meirou also went out and headed to Shao Meifang’s office.

Upon meeting, Shao Meifang immediately closed the office door.

"My sister, were you aware of Xiaozheng’s relationship before?" The news today had really shocked her.

Putting her bag on the desk, Shao Meirou sat down, exhausted and said, "I knew!"

She had never imagined her son would act so decisively, informing them only after the fact.

She had just returned from Lin Xia’s home a few days ago, and he brought someone directly over.

She didn’t know if Lin Xia would mention her visit.

But now that she thought about it, let it be, it wasn’t really a big deal!

As a mother, couldn’t she check on her son’s girlfriend’s family situation?

Shao Meifang, feeling disgruntled, complained, "Then why didn’t you ever tell me? Do you still consider me your sister?"

She only found out her nephew had a girlfriend when he brought her home; anyone would be unhappy in her situation.

Shao Meirou hurriedly explained softly, "Meifang! Listen to me! It’s really a tangled mess! I found out just before the New Year and intended to visit Lin Xia’s home with my mother-in-law after the holiday...

But as you know, our father’s health has been unstable, and you all are busy with work. Only I was free to take care of him, so it kept getting postponed..."

She kept hesitating because she didn’t want to make a fuss that everyone would know about.

Shao Meifang folded her arms and pouted, "You should have told me earlier! I could have taken leave to help out! Now that they’ve been brought back, what are you going to do? I see that dad quite likes the girl!"

If they opposed it, and the old man got angry, it would definitely become serious.

Shao Meirou expressed her full load of doubts and grievances, "Do you think I didn’t go? A few days ago, when I told you my mother-in-law was ill and asked you to take care of grandpa, that was when I went there..."

Shao Meifang suddenly realized, "Ah! That explains it. Your mother-in-law was fine so how come she was so sick that you had to care for her... So, how come they still came with Xiaozheng after you visited them?"

"How could I possibly know? I only went to see what she was like and what her family’s situation was!

And indeed, I made a discovery... I went to a restaurant to eat and learned about this matter..." Shao Meirou started telling her about Jiang Mingyuan and Lin Xia.

Upon hearing this, Shao Meifang angrily tapped the table, "How preposterous! She has someone she likes, so why is she clinging to our Xiaozheng? Is it because she sees that Xiaozheng comes from a good family and wants to climb up the social ladder?"

She was already uncomfortable watching Lin Xia and Lu Zheng together; now hearing what Shao Meirou said, she felt even more strongly that they shouldn’t be dating.

"It’s not that she likes someone else, but that boy likes her. According to his mother, they have always been in touch and got along very well..." Shao Meirou still had a good impression of Jiang Mingyuan.

To be fair, his mother was also a warm-hearted, kind person.

She was indeed dissatisfied with her son being with Lin Xia, but she couldn’t say that Lin Xia was bad.

Shao Meifang felt that her sister was too soft, "Sister! Not to criticize you, but when you heard about this, why didn’t you confront Lin Xia directly?"
