Chapter 462: Chapter 461 Absolutely True!

Shao Meirou arrived at Lu Guangqi’s house, where she told Lu Shuhui, who was brewing medicine in the kitchen, about Lin Xia being Qin Zeming’s granddaughter.

"Sister-in-law, are you serious?"

"Absolutely true!"

Lu Shuhui was so shocked that she almost couldn’t hold the porcelain bowl in her hands.

She hurriedly set down the bowl on the stove, her voice shaky as she asked, "But how is that possible?"

Lin Xia was just an ordinary girl from Lin District, how could she suddenly become Qin Lao’s granddaughter?

Shao Meirou said softly, "Shuhui, when my father told me, I reacted just like you! It took me quite a while to digest and accept this fact."

Who wouldn’t be shocked upon hearing this? It’s a normal reaction!

Lu Shuhui swallowed, "Then how do you know she is his granddaughter?"

Shao Meirou simply explained, "It’s said that Lin Xia’s mother went missing years ago and was never found. Lin Xia eventually met her cousin from her aunt’s family on a train, and that’s how..."

Lu Shuhui glanced towards her mother’s room, feeling very complicated.

"Sister-in-law, what does it mean for Mom to be in her current state?"

Compared to before, Lin Xia’s family background now seems even higher than Lu Zheng’s.

She dared not imagine what her mother’s reaction would be upon learning about Lin Xia’s change in identity.

Though her mother is now paralyzed, bedridden, and unable to take care of her daily needs, looking frail and barely able to speak clearly, she is still mentally aware.

Then, wouldn’t the actions her mother took back then seem like a huge joke now?

If her mother hadn’t gone to Spring City to force Lin Xia to break up with Lu Zheng, how could all the subsequent events have occurred?

If her older brother had not gone to Spring City, he wouldn’t have known about the existence of that mother and daughter.

Later, it might have been her mother who ended up devastated by her older brother’s adamant decision to divorce.

Unfortunately, everything has now become irreversible, and it is too late for any regrets.

Shao Meirou was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. She could only sigh and then uncomfortably averted her gaze.

Her discomfort stemmed not only from the fact that the old lady was driven to this state by Lu Pengcheng, but also because it was she who had instigated the old lady to go to Spring City in the first place.

If she hadn’t stirred the old lady initially, perhaps she wouldn’t have gone at all, and maybe things wouldn’t have turned out as they are now?

Lu Shuhui muttered to herself, "Sister-in-law, I truly feel sorry for my mom!"

She could not put into words how she felt at the moment, and she didn’t know how she would face Lin Xia in the future...

Lin Xia, oblivious to Lu Shuhui’s complex feelings, was unaware of how her change in status had affected others.

She and Lin Dong did not stay long at Qin Zeming’s place since Lin Dong needed to return to school and she couldn’t leave her business for too long.

Thus, they stayed for four days before preparing to go back.

As for Lin Chun, Qin Zeming mentioned that he would take the chance to meet him, and meet Lu Zheng, his future grandson-in-law, as well.

Lin Qiu and Li Yulan hit it off right from the start, liking each other a lot.

And, Great-Aunt Zuo Shimao also took a great liking to Lin Qiu.

Therefore, both sides wanted Lin Qiu to stay for a longer period of time.

Actually, privately, they had even discussed waiting for Lin Qiu’s emotions to stabilize and then introducing her to a decent match.

Lin Qiu herself was willing to stay for a longer period of time. The Wu Family didn’t need to guess that there would still be trouble; she didn’t believe she could remain completely undisturbed.

Before leaving, Lin Xia asked Song Zhiyi for a favor to help her procure some toys in the south, so she wouldn’t have to travel so far herself, which would be both troublesome and dangerous.

Song Zhiyi was, of course, willing to help his cousin and immediately patted his chest to indicate no problem. However, when Lin Xia wanted to give him the money for the toys in advance, he firmly refused.

"I don’t even know if I can get them for you yet! We’ll talk about the money later!"

Seeing that he absolutely refused to take it, Lin Xia had no choice but to wait to send him the money later or give it to him in person.

In the train station, Qin Zeming personally came to see off Lin Xia and her brother. Everyone was reluctant to part, and as the train slowly started moving, the old man still stood in place.

Qin Zeming had arranged for a soft sleeper, and it was the first time the siblings had experienced such a service, so they found it very novel.

Lin Dong looked all around, curious about everything, but he was no longer as naive as he had been in the past when going out, asking questions about everything.

Since they were the only two in the train compartment, Lin Dong asked Lin Xia, "Big sister! With our second sister not at home, can you manage living alone? Otherwise, should I come stay at home?"

He was not at all at ease about his sister, especially with the neighboring Wu Family having such tense relations with them! If something really happened, could they still lend a hand like before?

If it weren’t for his two sisters holding him back, he really would have liked to give that despicable couple a good beating!

His second sister was such a good person, and those two shameless people deeply hurt her!

Lin Xia shook her head in refusal, "No need! You still have evening self-study every day, what time do you get home? And then what time do you have to get up in the morning to go to school? Are you not going to attend morning self-study?"

Lin Dong frowned deeply, his big sister was indeed pointing out a very realistic issue.

Lin Xia smiled reassuringly at her brother, "I’m fine by myself at home. I have installed bars on both the front and back windows, and the door is specially reinforced. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!"

Lin Dong tentatively accepted that. He then thought of Lin Qiu, who was staying alone at their grandfather’s house.

"Big sister! Now that we’re leaving, will our second sister be okay there on her own?"

He had a good impression of the relatives at his grandfather’s house, but he couldn’t help feeling worried, knowing his second sister’s gentle nature.

"She’ll be fine! Grandma is there! Besides, our aunt is also a good person! Our second sister herself said, once she’s had enough, she’ll come back!"

About the matter of finding a match for Lin Qiu, she certainly couldn’t mention it to her brother, since he was still in school, and some things were better not to distract him with.

"Then when she comes back, won’t she just end up feeling troubled by the neighbors again?" Lin Dong was distressed, really wanting to do something for his sisters, yet always being treated like a child because he was still a student.

Lin Xia had considered this issue, "Not necessarily! If it comes to it, we can just buy a new house somewhere else and sell this one!"

"Yeah! That works too! It’ll save us from having to see those disgusting people!" Lin Dong suddenly brightened up, finding this solution viable.

"Exactly!" Lin Xia suddenly couldn’t help but tease Lin Dong, "Dongzi! How come I find you worrying like an old man! Worrying nonstop! The most important thing for you now is your studies, can you just stay out of everything else?"

Their long-held hopes of focusing on studies lay on their younger brother’s shoulders. They didn’t want to pressure him too much, but they also didn’t want the family troubles to affect him.

"Big sister! I understand!" Lin Dong paused before saying, "But I’m also a part of this family, and I want to contribute to it!"

Lin Xia laughed out loud, "You silly boy! The days for you to contribute are yet to come! Just focus on your studies, and after you get into a good university, your second sister and I are counting on you to stand up for us!"

Lin Dong nodded firmly, his eyes showing determination, "I will definitely study hard! In the future, I’ll protect you all!"
