Chapter 421: Chapter 420 I’ll Wait for You to Marry Me

Lin Xia continued, "Your grandmother berated me that day in the hospital, and if I weren’t afraid she might faint and never wake up again, I really wanted to fiercely talk back to her!"

"She’s only so bold because she thinks I’m dating you to marry into your family, right? If I weren’t dating you, none of this would’ve happened!"

"I could even stab my own father when we don’t see eye to eye! Who does she think she is?"

Lin Xia could say she’d vented all the frustration that had been building up inside her for days, and did so with complete justification!

Who else should she lash out at if not Lu Zheng? How could she have faced all this if not for him?

Lu Zheng saw her like a little wild cat with her fur on end. Despite the moment being so gloomy, he couldn’t help but affectionately rub her forehead.

He liked that the girl he liked was a fierce person, but because of him, she had to endure, making him feel guilty and deeply useless at the same time!

A man of his stature, yet he’s making this young woman bear all this!

Lin Xia pushed away his big head, glared at him, and scolded softly, "Sit properly and talk!"

She felt much better having spoken her mind, and now she wanted to hear what he had to say.

Lu Zheng finally let go of her obediently, his eyes shimmering with deep affection.

He loved her and wanted to give her the best without making her suffer.

But reality was going the exact opposite way!

He hid the helplessness and complexity in his eyes, and said with his hands crossed gently, "Xiaoxia! What’s done is done, and any apology I give now is futile! The trouble you’ve gone through is my fault, Lu Zheng’s fault!

But I won’t agree to break up with you!

Even if I make too many promises now, they aren’t as good as actual actions!

It’s my family’s problem to solve, and I definitely won’t let you marry me out of obligation!"

Before all this happened, he was impatient for Lin Xia to marry him, wishing they could wed by the end of the year!

But now he’s changed his mind!

If he doesn’t solve his family’s issues, what right does he have to marry her?

Lin Xia also knew, given Lu Zheng’s nature, he wouldn’t easily agree to break up.

In fact, how could she not have feelings for him in her heart?

But there was an even bigger problem between them!

"Lu Zheng! You just asked how I knew Nurse Luo, you must know what happened, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and frowned, "I know! She is the daughter of my dad and his first love!"

Lin Xia had anticipated this answer, but her heart still tightened when Lu Zheng actually said it.

The beautiful Nurse Luo turned out to be Lu Zheng’s half-sister from the same father!

Such a relationship was certainly unexpected!

"At the hospital that day, your mother had a big problem with me! I was confused at the time, but now it seems she blamed everything on me! She thinks it was all because of me, right?

So obviously, if we become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, our relationship is bound to be like fire and water—totally incompatible!

You should know something about my temper; if she troubles me, I won’t tolerate it! Will we ever have peaceful days then?"

Even if her relationship with Lu Zheng is good, it would not withstand such troubles!

Then she wants a divorce, Lu Zheng doesn’t agree, and for her, getting a divorce would be difficult!

That would really put her in a situation where she is caught between a rock and a hard place.

Lu Zheng’s face turned dark: "Indeed she has thought that way before, but there are some things you don’t know!"

"We’ve just met, and you haven’t given me a chance to speak to you!

"Back then, when my grandmother came over, she was unaware of the situation, and many things have a cause and effect relationship, she couldn’t possibly blame you for any of it!

"My parents are currently going through a divorce, because my dad found his first love at your place! It’s the mother of Nurse Luo!

"He’s very determined to divorce my mom, and now it has even reached my maternal grandfather, who has become sick from anger, otherwise I would have come the day before yesterday..."

Ever since he found out, he had been eager to come to see Lin Xia.

However, something had tripped up his steps along the way, and he had to postpone coming!

"Your parents are getting a divorce? Is your grandfather okay?" Lin Xia was genuinely shocked by this news, as in those times, divorces were rare occasions.

Some people just can’t live together, but they still put up with each other and bear with it without getting divorced!

"Yes! My dad is very firm! He insists on a divorce! My grandfather was struck by acute distress, but it’s nothing serious! Don’t worry about it!" Lu Zheng skimmed over the details and didn’t fully disclose everything to Lin Xia.

In fact, the real situation was that Shao Chengzhi, upon learning about this, had furiously reprimanded both Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou.

Neither was spared; each received a harsh scolding.

And he declared that with their combined aged not being small, with Lu Zheng being so grown up already, they absolutely couldn’t divorce!

But Lu Pengcheng had never been so determined before, still insisting on divorce!

Angry beyond measure, Shao Chengzhi applied pressure on Lu Pengcheng!

As a result, Lu Pengcheng had his heart set on divorce, even willing to give up everything, and even wanted to retire early!

Shao Chengzhi was so angry he became ill; he always knew his eldest daughter was unhappily married but never imagined they would divorce...

Lin Xia immediately felt the situation was even more serious; Lu Zheng’s parents had reached the point where divorce was inevitable, and Shao Meirou would certainly blame her even more.

She thought about the future and the possibility of Nurse Luo and her daughter coming back here, which gave her an enormous headache.

"Lu Zheng! If you disagree with breaking up with me, then let’s not split! But can you tell your family we’ve broken up? So that they won’t come to my house and bother me anymore! I’ve really had enough!"

"Xiaoxia..." A hint of suppressed pain flickered in Lu Zheng’s eyes.

Lin Xia was utterly serious, "Lu Zheng! Listen to me, if you truly care about me, you’ll do this!"

She felt that enduring the pressure was too suffocating, and it would be easier to just let things take their natural course.

If they were truly meant to be, they would end up together in the future!

Lu Zheng was very reluctant to have their relationship be redefined in the eyes of his family as just friends, but it seemed that this might be the best option for Lin Xia for now.

In the future, his parents would surely come to this city again, and he would be too far away to do anything about it.

If she continued to bear the title of his girlfriend, it would be very difficult for Lin Xia.

"Okay then! You wait for me to resolve this and then I’ll marry you!"

Holding back her complex emotions, Lin Xia smiled and nodded, "Okay! I’ll wait for you to marry me!" Although she didn’t know when that would be.

Her promise was no empty talk; she had thought before that if things didn’t work out with Lu Zheng, she wouldn’t want to find anyone else in the future.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere between them grew charged with unspoken feelings, both of their gazes brimming with deep affection.

Just then, the sound of voices suddenly came from the yard.

Lin Xia wiped her eyes and quickly walked to the doorway, only to see Yu Hongli carrying a cloth bag, following behind Lin Qiu as they walked into the house.

"Brother Hongli! How come you’re here?" Lin Xia asked with a surprised smile as she stepped out of the house.

Yu Hongli must have rushed over, evident by the sweat on his forehead; he said with a cheerful smile, "Our unit is doing machine maintenance today! I happened to be free, so I came to tell you guys something!"
