Chapter 431: Chapter 430: No Need for Your Fake Kindness!

Over half a month later, one weekend morning, Shao Meirou and Lu Pengcheng suddenly appeared at Lin Xia’s doorstep.

It was early, and the three Lin siblings had just finished breakfast and were clearing the table.

Hearing a knock on the door, Lin Xia went to open it.

When she saw that it was Lu Zheng’s parents standing outside, Lin Xia was quite surprised.

But now that Lu Zheng and she had reconciled and even set a wedding date, she had to warmly entertain his parents without any lapse in manners.

After letting Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou into the living room and introducing them to everyone,

Lin Qiu recognized Shao Meirou, who had previously pretended to shop in their store.

By now Lin Dong and Lin Qiu both knew that their sister might get married to Brother Lu as soon as he returned.

Thus, facing their sister’s future in-laws, both were very warm and polite, eager to make a good impression.

Shao Meirou greeted them with a gentle smile. Since she had no objection to her son’s romance, she naturally wanted to foster a good relationship.

Once the two guests were seated on the sofa, Lin Xia asked with a bright smile, "Uncle! Auntie! Have you not eaten since getting off the car? Let me make something simple for you to eat!"

She thought about preparing something quick and tasty.

Lu Pengcheng waved his hand amicably and said, "Lin Xia! Don’t trouble yourself! We have eaten already!

"We settled in at the hotel, worried that you might be busy and not at home, so we came here directly!"

Lin Xia nodded, smiling, "Indeed, at this time I would likely have gone to open the shop if you had arrived any later!" She immediately inquired, "I wonder how Grandma Lu’s health is now?"

"She’s still hospitalized. Recovery can only be gradual..." Lu Pengcheng briefly described Fang Youlan’s condition.

After some small talk, Lin Xia knew they must have something to discuss with her, so she sent Lin Dong off with the keys to open the cosmetics shop.

Lin Qiu also found an excuse to leave for the clothing store.

With just the three of them left in the living room, Lu Pengcheng got straight to the point of their visit.

"Lin Xia! When we were here last time, I should have mentioned that the Head Nurse Luo is my daughter. Xiaozheng has told you, hasn’t he?"

Although it was somewhat embarrassing to discuss this in front of his prospective daughter-in-law, Lu Pengcheng knew that if he wanted to do something for Luo Yue and her daughter in the future, he would need the help of Lin Xia, a local.

Lin Xia discreetly glanced at Shao Meirou’s reaction before nodding, "He told me!"

She noticed that the relationship between Lu Zheng’s parents seemed different from the last time they met. Now that Grandma Lu was sick, Father Lu probably wouldn’t bring up divorce, right?

Lin Xia was unsure how Lu Pengcheng had managed to settle things with Shao Meirou, who now sat calmly sipping tea with an unperturbed expression, even as this topic was brought up.

Lu Pengcheng continued, "Luo Yue’s mother was my girlfriend before your aunt, and due to some matters, she left for distant lands many years ago, never to be heard from again.

"I didn’t originally know she had given birth to my daughter, and she must have suffered a great deal over the years!

Therefore, I want to compensate them as much as possible! That is why we have come – to take care of this matter!"

Now that he was aware of Luo Yue’s existence, of course, he couldn’t let her and her mother continue to struggle.

Luo Yue was a few years older than Lu Zheng and unmarried; as her biological father, he had to take proper care of her.

"Ah!" Lin Xia pursed her lips slightly, "Then how do you intend to compensate them?"

Lu Pengcheng gave a wry smile. "I don’t have a concrete plan in mind either! But she’s my daughter, and I owe them both mother and daughter so much that no amount of compensation would be too much!"

"Their house was so dilapidated when I visited! Let’s start by buying them a larger house, and then we’ll see what else I can do..."

After this period of thorough reflection, he had thought a lot.

Luo Xinyan had clearly stated last time that she would not be with him, nor was she willing to be someone who would destroy another’s family.

With his mother now in that condition, divorce was out of the question, so he could only do something for them materially.

And what worried him most was that he wanted to give, but they wouldn’t accept it at all!

At this point, Shao Meirou spoke up, "Lin Xia! You’re a local with many acquaintances; help your uncle find a suitable house."

Lu Pengcheng had discussed this with Shao Meirou in advance before his visit.

Shao Meirou had seriously considered it and realized that as long as he was good to her and stayed with her, she could accept his desire to compensate that mother and daughter.

After all, it must have been incredibly difficult for a woman to raise a child on her own for so many years.

Ultimately, it was Lu Pengcheng who had wronged them!

"Sure! That’s no problem! Auntie, don’t worry, I will definitely help to look for a suitable place!" Lin Xia readily agreed.

She felt that Shao Meirou’s attitude towards her had changed this time.

Once those objections and dissatisfactions were put aside, Lu Zheng’s mom was still a very gentle elder.

Lin Xia wanted to get along well with her, not just for her own sake, but also for Lu Zheng’s.

Without any mishaps, this woman would be her mother-in-law, the grandmother of her future children!

Afterward, Lu Pengcheng left Lin Xia’s house to look for Luo Yue. Shao Meirou did not accompany him, instead asking Lin Xia to show her around casually.

Luo Yue, upon seeing Lu Pengcheng appear before her again, frowned with surprise. "What are you doing here again?"

This man’s arrival had completely disrupted her and her mother’s lives.

Her mother had only recently started to get better, and she did not want to see him again!

Lu Pengcheng’s face was plastered with a smile. "I came to see how you both were!" He did not dare to directly mention his intention to buy a house for her, fearing his daughter would take offense.

"We don’t need your false kindness!" Luo Yue said coldly, "Last time, you and your wife caused a scene at our home, and now the neighbors whisper about my mother behind our backs!

Are you satisfied now? You’ve already hurt my mother so badly; isn’t that enough? After so many years, you come back to our door, causing my mother and me to be the subject of gossip!"

By the end of her statement, her eyes were red, filled with endless grievance.

Before she knew her father was still alive, she coped with whatever she faced by telling herself to be strong and hold on, because besides her mother, there was no one else to lend her a helping hand.

But when she found out she had a father who had a wife and son, and they were living so well, she was truly heartbroken—for both her mother and herself.

"I’m sorry! I didn’t know this would happen!" Lu Pengcheng felt deeply ashamed, regretting his past impulsiveness.

Luo Yue scolded him in a low voice, agitated, "What do you know? You know nothing!

Please leave immediately! If your wife comes to make trouble at my workplace again and I lose my job because of it, would that satisfy you?" She didn’t want to see this man!

Lu Pengcheng felt miserable. "Luo Yue! Such a thing won’t happen again! I came here to properly compensate you. If you’re unhappy where you live, I can buy you a new house somewhere else!"
