Chapter 380: Chapter 379 I Understood

Shao Meirou also felt that Lin Xia was too calculating, "Whether or not there’s a place for me doesn’t really matter! What I’m most worried about is Xiaozheng being busy with work all the time. How many times can he see her in a year? Does he really understand her?"

What she feared the most was Lin Xia doing something behind her son’s back that would betray his trust!

How could such things be clearly spoken of!

Especially, the man who owned the restaurant was deeply in love with Lin Xia; anyone could tell he was a man hopelessly in love.

The two of them seemed to have a good relationship, and with young men and women together, who could say when they might act on impulse.

Meifang echoed her sentiment, "You’re right, it’s not certain at all! Sister, I think we’re worlds apart from her, we don’t know anything about her background.

She does business, and who knows what kind of people she deals with every day. And that friend who owns the restaurant!

She claims to be pure and innocent! But since when has there ever been purely platonic relationships between men and women!"

When the sisters pondered on this, Shao Meirou lightly sipped her tea, "Sigh! What’s the use of us knowing all this? Right now Xiaozheng is all about that Lin Xia! Your brother-in-law...

I can now only hope they develop conflicts and break up on their own. Otherwise, I truly don’t know how to intervene..."

Shao Meirou was very distressed; she wasn’t the type to engage in schemes and she wasn’t ruthless.

So, even though she had various dissatisfaction towards Lin Xia dating her son, she was unable to do anything too extreme.

That day when she went to the hotel to confront Lin Xia, it was her sister who pushed her into it. She even had a speech prepared in advance; otherwise, she really wouldn’t have known what to say.

Meifang also felt helpless, "My brother-in-law seems really satisfied with her. It shouldn’t be like that, I think he is quite..." She felt embarrassed to say the words ’snobbish and proud,’ "With such differences in conditions and social status, how could he not oppose it?"

She really didn’t understand what her brother-in-law was thinking.

Which parent genuinely wanting the best for their child would hope for them to marry someone whose circumstances were so vastly different?

"There are some things you don’t understand!" Shao Meirou wanted to keep some self-respect and face, even in front of her own sister.

She didn’t want to mention a thing about Lu Pengcheng’s past with that woman.

"Alright! I don’t understand!" Meifang glanced around, leaned in close to Shao Meirou, and asked in a low voice, "Sister! Did you and my brother-in-law not sleep together this time he came back?"

Bringing up this topic, she felt indignant on her sister’s behalf!

He hardly comes back, and when he does, they sleep in separate rooms. It’s no different than being strangers to each other.

They say a woman is like a flower that needs to be watered and cherished.

Her sister, on the other hand, what’s the difference between her life and living like a widow without a husband?

Doesn’t everyone have desires?

Even at her age, Shao Meirou’s face turned red and she spat at her sister, "Why do you ask these things!"

Meifang laughed knowingly, "I understand now!"

Shao Meirou felt sorrow for herself; it had been far too long since she and Lu Pengcheng were together.

She had desires too, but he had always been like a puppet without emotions, a pretty shell with nothing inside.

In front of her sister, she couldn’t show any of this.

"Let’s drink tea!"

"Sure!"

Shao Meifang’s husband was of average appearance, so she couldn’t help but feel envious of her sister for having such a handsome brother-in-law.

Now, seeing Shao Meirou’s smile like that, she felt happy for her, but also somewhat envious.

Shao Meirou was pondering over the recent events when suddenly her eyes lit up as if she had just realized something important.

"I get it!"

Shao Meifang was taken aback by her sister’s abrupt statement, "Sis, what do you understand?"

Shao Meirou tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Lin Xia’s clothing store is called ’Four Seasons’, and there are four siblings in her family, she represents summer, her sister is autumn, which means the other two must be spring and winter!

She was corresponding with Xiaozheng under the name Xia Lin, there must be a reason for it. When I asked her to her face, she even claimed it was a ’pen name’..."

After returning from Spring City, she had someone investigate, and now she didn’t need to wait for the results; she had already guessed some of the clues.

Shao Meifang seemed to have a realization and her eyes gleamed as they shared a meaningful look.

"Sis! What do you plan to do?"

Shao Meirou laughed at herself with scorn, "I’m definitely out of the game. I’ll go to my mother-in-law’s house in a bit and see what she’ll do!"

Her mother-in-law had experience with this kind of thing and was adept at handling it.

Why should she do something that would displease Lu Zheng and his son?

Shao Meifang revealed a smile, "That’s great! If there is any blame to be had, they can’t pin it on you!"

"Sigh! Why am I doing all this? It’s all for Xiaozheng! Alright, I’ll be off now!" Shao Meirou didn’t want to become such a person, but she was compelled by the circumstances and had no choice.

When Fang Youlan heard what her daughter-in-law had deduced, she indeed showed great interest.

"Good! I’ll have someone check on this! Once I have some leads, I’ll go there myself! Coming from that kind of family, she doesn’t weigh her own worth, thinking that the Lu Family is so easy for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to enter?"

She was extremely unsatisfied with Lin Xia, who had only visited once and had already won over the elder Shao and her eldest son; would it not be even harder to sway them as time went on?

So, from the moment she found out that Lu Zheng and Lin Xia had left together, she was fuming. Could she really just watch helplessly as her grandson ended up with someone like that, unable to hold her head high in front of others?

Shao Meirou smiled tenderly, concern showing in her eyes, "Mom! Will you be able to handle it? It’s an overnight train ride from here to Spring City! Otherwise, I think we should just let it go..."

Fang Youlan secretly looked down on Shao Meirou, thinking that aside from coming from a good family, her daughter-in-law was inept at everything else.

Hearing Shao Meirou say this, she defiantly stood up, "Meirou, you really underestimate this old lady! I’m perfectly fine! And for my grandson Xiaozheng, there’s no hardship I can’t overcome! You just mind your own business!"

Shao Meirou appeared to be in a difficult position, with a hint of helplessness.

"Mom! I’m really worried about your health! Lin Xia is a scheming girl! I’m afraid she’ll make you angry... Ah, and Lu Pengcheng, I don’t know what’s gotten into him, being so adamant this time... I tried to persuade him but to no effect..."

Fang Youlan knew exactly why her eldest son was acting this way; it was because of the things that had happened in the past, he was being stubborn with her.

But there were things she couldn’t discuss with her daughter-in-law.

She smiled kindly, "Meirou! Mom knows you’re good! You have been wronged over the years!

Lu Pengcheng has just that sort of temperament. Sometimes I really want to give him a good thrashing! This time, his stubbornness is probably because Xiaozheng has been whispering in his ear...

You shouldn’t think too much about it. I’ll handle this. Take the chance to spend more time with your husband when he returns..."

Shao Meirou had been her daughter-in-law for long enough to know exactly what kind of person she was: put on a show for others. "Mom! You are so good to me!"
