Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 433 - 432: New Understanding

Chapter 433: Chapter 432: New Understanding

Luo Xinyan curled her lips into a cold smile, "You can buy whichever one you want! That’s what you should do as a father!"

Before Lu Pengcheng had come looking for her, she had never thought about taking her daughter to find him! She didn’t need him!

But now the situation was different; his appearance had changed many things!

She didn’t know how many years she had left to live, yet her daughter’s journey was still long.

Therefore, there was no need for her to pretend to be morally superior and let her daughter continue to live a hard life.

"Right! It’s what I should do!" Lu Pengcheng’s face lit up with joy; the heavy weight in his heart had dropped, as he had really been scared by Luo Yue’s initial reaction and attitude.

"What kind of person does she want to find?" Lu Pengcheng seized the opportunity to ask, "There are quite a few good young men in our department!"

"You don’t need to worry about that!" Luo Xinyan saw his disagreeing expression and counter-asked, "All the young men in your department are from out of town. Are you thinking of having Yueyue take me and marry into another place?"

Lu Pengcheng was stumped by her question; it was indeed a problem.

...

Lin Xia walked around with Shao Meirou, and through brief interactions, they shifted from initial unfamiliarity to gradually becoming acquainted with each other, while also gaining new insights about one another.

Lin Xia had always thought Shao Meirou was quite arrogant but had not expected her to be particularly gentle.

Shao Meirou had not anticipated that Lin Xia, who had always seemed formidable and sharp-tongued, would be easy to talk to and have a good temperament.

Shao Meirou asked about Lin Xia’s family, and Lin Xia opened up to her completely.

She told Shao Meirou about their past lives and even mentioned Lin Aiguo’s divorce.

As for the reasons, she naturally did not delve into the affair with the green hat but merely glossed over it.

Shao Meirou gained a new understanding of Lin Xia’s family; after listening for a while, she genuinely felt that Lin Xia was quite capable and sincere. No wonder the restaurant owner’s mother always praised her.

Putting aside her family background, Lin Xia was excellent in her own right.

At the same time, Shao Meirou felt sympathy rising for Lin Xia and her siblings; how could it be easy under a stepmother’s hand?

The other side also had children close to their age. Wouldn’t that invite severe conflicts?

After comforting Lin Xia for a few moments, Shao Meirou suddenly said, "Lin Xia! Your aunt wants to apologize for the past matters! Actually, once you become a mother, you will understand my feelings! Every mother hopes that her son will turn out better!"

Although Shao Meirou knew her son didn’t need the Yue Family’s support in his career, she still preferred a match of equal standing, which was why she had opposed it so strongly. Now that she no longer obstructed them, she wanted to clear the air with Lin Xia and avoid leaving any grudges behind.

"I understand, Aunt! I don’t blame you at all! I know my own circumstances; indeed, I’m much different from Lu Zheng!

I understand why you opposed it! Later I truly... I’m very grateful that you agreed to our being together!"

What Lin Xia said was heartfelt; how happy could a marriage be without the blessing of one’s family?

Her earlier wavering and selfishness were also due to the opposition from Lu Zheng’s family, compounded by the incident with Luo Yue, blinding her to the light ahead.

Shao Meirou felt relieved by her words, thought for a moment, and then brought up, "Lin Xia! And you shouldn’t be mad at Lu Zheng’s little aunt either; she’s all bark and no bite! Xiaozheng was her favorite since he was little, that’s why she would..."

Lin Xia smiled, "I know! I realized what kind of person she was when I sold her Lingzhi for the second time years ago!"

Shao Meifang was not really a bad person, just spoiled by her family. To Lin Xia, she was not very mature.

If she were mature, she wouldn’t have boastfully brought up Lu Zheng spending New Year’s with Teacher Ye’s granddaughter in front of her.

"It’s good that you don’t blame her!" Shao Meirou gently patted Lin Xia’s shoulder, "Lin Xia! Just be good with my Xiaozheng in the future, and we, your uncle and I, aren’t people who fuss over too many rules! Just be happy; that’s good enough!"

She discovered that since she had come to understand this, her perception of people and situations had changed from before.

She only had Lu Zheng as her son, and Lin Xia marrying her son meant she was her daughter-in-law.

She also wanted to try to get along well, so it would be easier for her son caught in the middle.

Lin Xia felt warmth in her heart; she hadn’t expected Lu Zheng’s mother to say those words, and she nodded emotionally, "Don’t worry, Auntie! Lu Zheng and I will definitely be good!"

Because of her mother’s vivid experiences, Lin Xia had always been very guarded and resistant toward the idea of a mother-in-law.

She used to think that if her mother-in-law was particularly difficult, she wouldn’t indulge her.

But now, Shao Meirou’s behavior had made her change her mind a bit.

If the other party could truly befriend her, she was also willing to genuinely get along well with her!

"Good!" Shao Meirou felt that her trip hadn’t been in vain.

Originally, she had set aside her prejudices, and she could get along well with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia decided to prepare a big meal at home at noon, considering that eating out wouldn’t be as tasty as eating at home.

The two went to the market and bought a lot of groceries to take home.

While shopping, she even asked Lu Pengcheng about their preferences and tastes.

What’s more interesting is that Lu Pengcheng and Lu Zheng, true to being father and son, both liked to eat slinky intestines!

Once back home, Shao Meirou, despite Lin Xia’s protests, insisted on entering the kitchen to help pick and wash the vegetables.

Lin Xia, unable to stop her, just let her be.

The two chatted while cooking, and time passed quickly.

Watching Lin Xia stir-fry, fry, and sauté dishes in an orderly fashion, Shao Meirou nodded secretly.

She was getting hungry just from the smell, thinking her son would really be blessed once he married Lin Xia.

When Lu Pengcheng arrived at Lin Xia’s home, the table was packed with dishes, and Lin Dong kept bringing out more dishes from the kitchen.

Because Lin Dong was there, Lu Pengcheng didn’t bring up anything else with Shao Meirou.

Lin Qiu was called back from the store, and everyone settled down to eat.

Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou tried a few dishes and couldn’t stop praising Lin Xia’s cooking skills.

"Lin Xia! Really nice!"

Shao Meirou agreed, "Indeed! Very tasty!"

"Auntie, if you like it, you and Uncle should eat more!" Lin Xia was really happy to get their approval.

After the meal, Lin Xia prepared some tea and a fruit platter.

Lin Dong had something he wanted to tell his big sister since he came back, but since Lu Big Brother’s mother was always in the kitchen, he hadn’t found the right opportunity.

Now definitely wasn’t a good time, so he discreetly went to the store first with Lin Qiu.

When only three of them were left, Lu Pengcheng started talking about his meeting with Luo Yue and her daughter.

Lu Pengcheng sighed, "That child Luo Yue really hates me! She doesn’t want to accept it at all! But her not accepting it is useless, I definitely have to do what I need to do... Lin Xia, I think we should look for a house near her workplace, but avoid the area they are living in right now..."

"Okay!" Lin Xia nodded: "I’ll ask some more people to help look around! But, Uncle, sometimes buying a house also depends on luck! The more you rush it, maybe the harder it is to find the right one!" She worried they couldn’t stay here too long and might rush into a poor decision.
