Chapter 505: Chapter 504 What other requirements are there?

Lu Zheng looked around and directly wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "Great! I’ll let you order me around for a lifetime, alright?"

The two entered the doorway laughing and talking. Lu Zheng took the opportunity to plant a kiss on her cheek.

This infuriated Lin Xia to no end, and she pinched him hard on his waist.

"What if someone looks out the window towards the front door and sees us, how embarrassing would that be?"

Lu Zheng felt bubbly with joy inside, but he casually remarked, "What’s there to be afraid of? It’s winter; they can’t see clearly anyway!"

Lin Aiguo and his group finally approached Lin Xia’s home, spotting a car parked at the doorway from afar.

Liu Shuqin asked, "Is that where Lin Xia lives, where the car is parked?"

It was almost laughable; this was their first time visiting Lin Xia’s home.

Lin Aiguo squinted and looked, "It should be!"

Lin Fang was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking that the car parked at the door belonged to Jiang Mingyuan.

She quickly tidied herself up, aiming to appear beautiful and poised when she showed up in front of that man.

But as she felt her scarf damp with white frost from her breath, she cursed inwardly. The cold weather demanded wearing a hat which had flattened her hair, and her padded jacket and trousers were so bulky that they didn’t show off her good figure at all.

Zhang Lanxiang couldn’t help but click her tongue, "This Lin Xia really knows some extraordinary people! How many have their own car these days? That young man must be from a very wealthy family!"

Envy shone in Lin Gang’s eyes as he chimed in, "Exactly! Mom! Whoever marries him will truly have fallen into a fortune, enjoying all the best things in life without a question..."

As he spoke, he glanced at his sister Lin Fang, silently lamenting. If only Lin Fang looked more attractive, would there be a sliver of hope?

Lin Fang’s lips tightened as the fire in her heart burned even stronger.

Zhang Lanxiang felt that some things required the grandmother’s intervention; they might not have much influence speaking up in front of Lin Xia, but the old lady is Lin Xia’s grandmother after all!

"Mom! You see, your granddaughter Lin Xia knows so many people, would it hurt to introduce a prospective partner to our Lin Fang? Why can’t she show us a little pity..."

Liu Shuqin’s lips moved, but she didn’t speak. In her heart, didn’t she wish for the same thing?

But Lin Xia stubbornly refused to make introductions. What could she do?

Lin Aiguo walked ahead with his hands behind his back. Hearing Zhang Lanxiang’s words, he turned around and shot her a disgruntled look, his nose wrinkled and his face contorted with displeasure.

Lin Aiye noticed his older brother was truly reluctant, and finally spoke up to reprimand Zhang Lanxiang, "What’s the use of all this talk? Just keep it down and behave!"

When they reached the car, Lin Fang’s shoulders slumped down in disappointment.

This license plate wasn’t the same as the one on the car that young man drove when they went to help Yu Hongli with his wedding!

Before she could say a word, Zhang Lanxiang and the others followed eagerly behind Lin Aiguo into the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lin Gang and Zhang Lanxiang’s eyes started rolling around restlessly, looking everywhere.

The same was true when they entered the house, feeling that Lin Xia’s home was truly impressive!

Although Lin Xia wasn’t pleased about the arrival of Lin Aiye and his family, she maintained a polite exterior and introduced everyone.

Shao Meirou didn’t recognize the people in Lin Xia’s family, but she did recognize Lu Pengcheng.

Seeing that Luo Yue’s in-laws had also arrived, he forced himself to stabilize his mind and not let any abnormal emotions show, so as not to cause trouble and harm Luo Yue and her family.

Shao Meirou observed the people entering the room and unconsciously furrowed her brows.

She secretly thought to herself, why did some of these relatives from Lin Xia’s family not look like good people?

After a brief introduction and small talk, both families sat down to discuss the matter of the betrothal gifts.

Shao Meirou took out the 2,000 yuan and some jewelry she had prepared, "Lin Xia! This jade bracelet was originally given to you by Xiaozheng’s grandfather! Later, due to some misunderstandings, you returned it! Today, I am here especially entrusted by the old man to bring it back to you! There are also a few other pieces of jewelry that signify the old man’s sincere thoughts... I hope you and Xiaozheng will live well together..."

As for the necklace she had originally given, she did not bring it, but instead replaced it with something better.

After all, she had opposed Lin Xia’s relationship with Lu Zheng at that time, so the meeting gift was something she was forced to give by Lu Pengcheng, without genuinely selecting it, simply the most inconspicuous in her collection.

However, she did not mention these things at this moment.

Lin Xia had always had a good impression of Lu Zheng’s grandfather; back then, when many people disliked her and felt she was not good enough for Lu Zheng, the grandfather not only supported their relationship but also gave her that precious jade bracelet.

Later, when she and Lu Zheng had a fake breakup, she returned the jade bracelet given by Shao Chengzhi and the necklace from Shao Meirou in order to make the act more convincing.

"Aunt! Thank you! Thank you, Grandpa!"

Shao Meirou looked at the sincere smile of gratitude on Lin Xia’s beautiful face, and although she felt quite moved inside, she knew that now was not the time to be distracted.

She composed herself and turned to Lin Aiguo saying, "In-laws, we have also prepared their new house in the provincial city, with all new furniture and appliances... If there’s anything you require, please feel free to mention it."

For two families to be joined by marriage, these betrothal gifts should have been discussed and arranged in advance.

But their situation was special, so they had to handle it accordingly.

Before they set out, she and Lu Pengcheng had decided that no matter what demands Lin Xia’s family had, they would do their best to fulfill them, to make everyone happy and satisfied.

Lin Aiguo was slightly taken aback, what could he possibly demand? He had come merely to keep up appearances!

Now that their relationship had improved, Lin Xia had even allowed him to attend the wedding!

If it were during the previous tense times, they probably wouldn’t have even informed him!

He glanced over at Lin Xia seated nearby, saw that her eyes were clear and her complexion not too bad, and then quickly averted his gaze.

So, with full awareness of his own position, he said, "I have no demands! As long as the two children are happy, that’s enough for me!"

Ever since Lin Aiguo walked in and heard Lin Xia introduce Shao Meirou as her mother-in-law, he had been inwardly grumbling that she looked like someone from a not-so-ordinary family, which is why even his tone of speaking seemed gentler than usual.

What a great opportunity! And yet, to have no demands at all?

Lin Aiye and Zhang Lanxiang sat to the side, their eyes round with envy as they stared at the money and jewelry Shao Meirou placed on the table, silently cursing their luck.

Now, before the marriage, they didn’t ask for anything, but it wouldn’t be too late to make demands after the marriage!

However, since they were negotiating Lin Xia’s betrothal gifts and knowing Lin Xia’s temper, with Lin Aiguo, the father, having no demands, what could they, as uncles and aunts, possibly say?

Shao Meirou felt that Lin Xia’s father seemed quite reasonable and understanding.

So she smiled warmly, "Very well, in-laws! Rest assured! Our family has only Xiaozheng as a son, and we will definitely cherish Lin Xia as our own daughter once she joins our family..."
