Chapter 457: Chapter 456 How Can It Be Such a Coincidence!

Yu Hongli had just finished delivering the hawthorns to Luo Yue, and he hurriedly took a bus back.

The visitors at Lin Xia’s house truly shocked him!

The aunt he remembered as being meek, who only knew about working hard and enduring scoldings and beatings, came from such an impressive family background.

By the time Yu Hongli made it to Lin Aiguo’s place, Lin Aiguo and Liu Shuqin had just returned from inspecting a new apartment allocated by their work unit, both covered in dust.

Due to the incident of Qian Chunli cheating on him, Lin Aiguo was unwilling to live there any longer.

The apartment allocated by the work unit had arrived, and he was busy preparing it, thinking that after a fresh coat of paint, they could move in within a few days.

When Lin Aiguo and Liu Shuqin learned of this matter, both of their reactions were as if they had been struck by lightning.

Liu Shuqin continued to sigh with regret, "How could this even happen! If I had known her family was so powerful and could have been persuaded to help, I would have treated her better no matter what!

Had she lived a few more years, wouldn’t our old Lin Family be settled by now..." She thought that if those people accepted Lin Xia’s family, the Lin Family could benefit from their influence in the future!

But in the presence of her eldest son and grandson, she dared not voice these thoughts.

"Why bring this up now!" Lin Aiguo said, then took a deep drag on his cigarette, his heart as shaken as Liu Shuqin’s.

Thinking back on everything about Wanhua, he could only remember her pretty appearance and her gentle, compliant nature; he could hardly recall anything else.

In just a few years, he had gone through too much, and now he was suffering from insomnia, unable to sleep all night.

Sometimes he thought that what he was enduring today must be retribution!

...

After returning from the cemetery, Lin Xia and the others stopped by the market to buy a lot of groceries, and they cooked dinner at home.

Qin Zeming and Lin Dong were chatting in the living room, while Lin Xia and Lin Qiu were cooking in the kitchen, with Jiu Yuan helping out, so they quickly prepared a table full of dishes.

Once everyone was seated, Qin Zeming, looking at the well-balanced and appetizing dishes, couldn’t stop praising Lin Xia, "Lin Xia, your cooking is really excellent!"

His granddaughter was very capable, managing not only to earn money but also to handle household affairs adeptly.

It was a pity she already had a partner, otherwise he really would have liked to find a good match for her.

He then glanced at Lin Qiu, contemplating his next move.

Lin Xia modestly smiled, "It’s just the usual home cooking. Please eat more!" She hadn’t spent much time on cooking today because of the rush.

Qin Zeming nodded in appreciation, "Good!"

Only after Qin Zeming started eating did the others begin to pick dishes and eat.

Midway through the meal, the conversation turned to Lin Xia’s partner.

Song Zhiyi curiously asked, "Lin Xia! Where is your partner from? His surname is Lu, right? How old is he?"

When they had just arrived, the elderly lady next door and Lin Qiu both mistook him for Lin Xia’s family member.

Now, as he was somewhat closer to Lin Xia, Song Zhiyi felt comfortable asking questions that others might hesitate to ask.

"He works with my elder brother! He’s about to turn thirty!" Thinking of Lu Zheng, a smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Xia’s face.

Noticing her expression, Song Zhiyi continued to inquire, "That sounds great! What’s his full name?"

He thought about meeting him when his grandfather went to see Lin Chun,

"His name is Lu Zheng!"

As soon as Lin Xia finished speaking, Qin Feiyang, who had been quietly eating, suddenly looked up and asked, "Lu Zheng? Is his grandfather’s surname Shao?"

Lin Xia was extremely surprised and nodded busily, "Yes! Big brother, you know him?"

Lin Qiu and her siblings all stopped eating in shock, their gazes intensely fixed on Qin Feiyang, waiting for his answer.

Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but smirk, "He was my elementary school classmate!" He couldn’t believe such a coincidence himself!

"How could it be such a coincidence!" Song Zhiyi laughed audibly.

Lin Xia looked at her brothers and sisters, her eyes full of astonishment, "Then this is too much of a coincidence!"

Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but laugh, "Yes! If it hadn’t come up today, how would I have thought of my elementary school classmate dating my sister!" He immediately said to Qin Zeming, "Grandpa! Lu Zheng’s grandfather is Shao Chengzhi!"

Qin Zeming put down his wine glass and laughed heartily, "So, he’s Old Shao’s grandson! Good, good! This world really is small!"

If he was Old Shao’s grandson, he was indeed a suitable match for his granddaughter!

A smile also appeared on Qin Ziheng’s usually serious face, as he never expected that a girl like Lin Xia could find such a well-matched partner all by herself.

Lin Xia and the others faced each other with endless sighs, thinking how the turn of events made them acquainted!

Because of this, Qin Zeming finally felt a diminishment of the sorrowful feelings in his heart, and he began to talk happily about his past connection with Shao Chengzhi.

It turned out they had worked together in the same unit for many years and got along well.

Later, he was transferred, but they stayed in touch during festivals and holidays.

Lin Xia and the others listened with great interest, having already forgotten about eating, and laughter echoed occasionally in the room.

Next door, Mrs. Wu developed a large blister on her mouth overnight. It turned out she stayed at home doing nothing most days, preferring to sit at the front door and gossip with neighbors, but now she just wanted to hide at home.

Just the thought of the neighbors knowing about the capable relatives who had visited Lin Xia’s home, possibly laughing at her family behind their backs and waiting to watch the show, made her feel terribly suffocated.

How could things have turned out this way?

Now she not only despised Miao Xue for being shameless and causing trouble but also resented Lin Xia for being so cunning, for never even mentioning having such relatives before!

If she had known earlier, she definitely would not have openly quarreled with them so shallowly.

Unaware of the situation, Miao Xue brought fruits to the Wu Family after work in the evening.

When she arrived, the Wu Family had not yet finished dinner.

"Mom and Dad are eating!"

Mr. Wu usually didn’t talk much, and now that such an incident had occurred at home, he really felt as if people were poking his spine from behind.

So regarding Miao Xue, he certainly glared and disdained, then pushed away his rice bowl and went back to the Eastern House.

Mrs. Wu grunted and lowered her eyelids to look at Miao Xue, continuing to carefully sip her porridge without getting up to avoid the blister on her mouth.

Wu Zhengyang just kept his head down and ate, ignoring her completely.

Miao Xue found Wu Zhengyang a bit strange at work during the day, and seeing his mother’s attitude now at home, even a fool could tell something was wrong.

She bit her lip, "Wu Zhengyang! Let’s go for a walk after you finish eating!"

Before Wu Zhengyang could respond, Mrs. Wu voiced her disapproval harshly, "What time is it now to go for a walk? Aren’t you working tomorrow!"

She was certainly not willing to let her son get close to Miao Xue anymore.

Miao Xue angrily glanced at the still bright sky outside, thinking this old lady was really trying to make her uncomfortable, wasn’t she?

She said cheerfully, "It’s still early out there! Mom! We young people aren’t like you older folks; we sleep late!"
