Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties

Chapter 366: Chapter 365 Pure and Clean

Lu Zheng said nonchalantly, "This time I brought her back, it wasn’t with the intention of getting married immediately, just to let everyone meet her!"

"And to let others see that I do have a girlfriend, so they shouldn’t have any other ideas about me..."

He actually wanted to marry Lin Xia immediately, but the decision also needed her agreement.

The young woman had never even considered marrying him before, which he found utterly disheartening every time he thought about it.

Was it because he hadn’t provided her with enough security? Or did she always feel that the gap between them was too large, making her hesitant to think about the future?

He felt there were many reasons and possibilities.

Without naming anyone, Shao Meirou knew he was talking about Ye Lin.

Shao Meirou understood that if she brought up Ye Lin at this moment, not only would it lead nowhere, but it would also leave both mother and son upset.

Talking to Lu Zheng was pointless; she knew all too well how stubborn her son could be.

It seemed necessary to work on Lin Xia instead.

Lin Xia was upstairs packing the clothes she had brought when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Her heart stirred—could it be that guy again?

Timing-wise, it was indeed possible.

Had he returned right after dropping off his mother?

These thoughts merely flashed by, and her mood lifted, her lips curling into a smile.

Lin Xia came downstairs and softened her voice naturally as she stood by the door, "Who is it?"

"It’s us, Lu Zheng’s mom and aunt!" Shao Meirou announced herself from outside.

Lin Xia’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, mildly disappointed. She had guessed that Lu Zheng’s mother might want to speak with her alone,

but she hadn’t expected the other party to be so eager and to bring along Shao Meifang as well.

Lin Xia opened the door, letting in the elegantly dressed sisters, Shao Meirou and Meifang.

"Please, have a seat, Aunt," Lin Xia said.

She then poured water for them.

"Thank you! No need to fuss! Xiaolin, let’s sit down and chat!" Shao Meirou waved her over.

"Okay!" Lin Xia sat on the couch opposite them.

Shao Meirou got straight to the point, "Xiaolin! I think you know why I am here!"

Shao Meifang quietly surveyed the room, then turned her gaze to Lin Xia.

"Please, just speak your mind!" Lin Xia had a premonition about what was to be said, but she couldn’t stop them from speaking.

"You and my Xiaozheng really aren’t suitable! It’s not that you aren’t good! You are a great girl, and many people praise you!

Actually, when I visited your home, I also went to a restaurant for a meal and happened to meet the restaurant’s owner and his mother.

They mentioned you, and only then did I learn that it wasn’t that you didn’t have someone you liked, but that you later ended up with my Xiaozheng..."

Lin Xia really didn’t know about this matter, "I’ve never had anyone I liked before! Who are you talking about?"

She knew her second brother owned a restaurant, but she couldn’t piece it together.

Shao Meirou reminded her, "I remember it’s called Mingyuan Restaurant!"

Lin Xia’s heart skipped a beat, "Aunt! My second brother and I are just good friends! I’ve always considered him my real brother! Lu Zheng knows this!"

Shao Meirou smiled meaningfully, "Xiaolin! Saying it like that isn’t good! Actually, it’s nothing much. I overheard that elder brother’s mother saying that he remembers you constantly and doesn’t want to find a girlfriend, and it’s making his mother so anxious!"

I just happened to be having a meal and caught a few words by accident. She didn’t know who I was, but she was quite chatty and started talking a lot about you.

She even said that she really likes you, and always wanted you to be her daughter-in-law. Her son likes you too, but since you later found someone who joined the military, it didn’t work out..."

Lin Xia felt a buzzing in her ears. There was no need for Lu Zheng’s mom to spread rumors. It must have been elder brother who had spoken these things to Zhao Da Nian.

So, had elder brother always liked her?

Indeed, what Jiang Mingqing had said was all true.

Were the later words of elder brother, regarding only treating her as a sister, all lies? Deceiving her?

If everything was true, she was really slow!

"Xiaolin! The reason I came to tell you this is because I thought about how girls are shy, so I wanted to save you some face in front of Xiaozheng.

My Xiaozheng and you are so far apart, so he definitely doesn’t know many things!

If it weren’t for this trip, I wouldn’t have known there was so much going on!

In my opinion, you and that elder brother are quite suitable! Look, you are both from the same place;

both of you are in business, and he is deeply in love with you. Why should you insist on finding someone from a different place? Honestly speaking, the salary from an office job is really not that much!"

Lin Xia looked up at the continuously talking Shao Meirou, her lips moving up and down, and couldn’t help but feel it was ironic.

In front of Lu Zheng, all her enthusiasm was indeed fake.

"I don’t care about these! My relationship with elder brother is pure and clear, and there’s nothing I fear Lu Zheng knowing! Moreover, he already knows..."

Seeing her candid expression, Shao Meirou’s heart tightened, possibly they really had nothing between them?

The words she had said earlier, seventy percent of them had been agreed upon in advance with her sister, taught by herself, else she really wouldn’t have been able to say them.

Shao Meifang, who had been silent by the side, gave a slight smile and started, "Xiaolin, actually we came to find you today because there’s something else we wanted to discuss with you. Xiaozheng has a girlfriend candidate introduced by his family, the girl’s grandfather is Old Ye, a good friend of our father.

Xiaozheng hadn’t wanted to find a girlfriend before, so this issue had been dragged out!

But during the New Year, that girl went to perform where Lu Zheng was, and my sister happened to be there for the New Year too; they got along very well..." Shao Meifang, aiming for more conviction, even nudged Shao Meirou, "Right? Sister!"

Shao Meirou didn’t want to bring up this topic, but having been dragged into it by her sister, she had no choice but to say, "Oh, indeed! We got along well!"

Although Lin Xia didn’t believe what Shao Meirou had said, as a normal person, she still felt a sourness in her heart.

So there was also this matter; she really had no idea.

Seeing the change in Lin Xia’s expression, Shao Meirou felt that it was already severe enough to talk about all this late at night, and there was really no need to continue.

"Xiaolin! Think about it! Sometimes liking each other does not mean two people are suitable!"

"Indeed!" Shao Meifang chimed in, "Xiaolin! We know you’re a good girl, it’s not our first time dealing with each other;

so I’m straight to the point, consider these four words: ’being well-matched in social and economic status.’ In anything, you still have to be realistic about yourself..."

After the Shao sisters left, Lin Xia sat weakly on the sofa, silently thinking about their words.

Elder brother liked her, Zhao Da Nian wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, and there was also that Miss Ye.

How could she be so slow, only to find out from others.

Actually, she knew elder brother was good to her, but she thought it was the kind of good a brother has for a sister.

He had also never told her that he liked her.

Now this matter had even come to the knowledge of Lu Zheng’s mother; it was truly too much of a coincidence.
