Chapter 506: Chapter 505: The Peach Blossoms Are in Full Bloom

Lin Aiguo listened to Shao Meirou, nodding incessantly, his eyes even becoming moist, "That’s good! That’s so good! My in-laws! To be honest with you, the children’s real mother passed away early, and I must admit, I was not good to them... Lin Xia and the others have suffered a lot. Knowing you will cherish her like your own daughter puts my mind at ease..."

Because in the past years he was inhuman towards the children, always either hitting or scolding them, and now none of them were close to him, he suddenly came to a realization and truly felt very remorseful towards them.

Therefore, he dearly hoped that each and every one of them would have a good life!

Nobody present had expected Lin Aiguo to say such words.

Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou exchanged glances, both moved by Lin Aiguo’s words.

Lu Pengcheng said with a hearty laugh, "My in-law! We’re family now... Leave the child to us; you just rest assured..."

Lu Zheng sat beside Lin Xia, seeing the change in her expression and the complexity in her eyes. He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "I will cherish you like a treasure!"

Lin Xia shot him an annoyed glance, with so many people watching, he’s becoming bolder and bolder.

But strangely enough, the sour discomfort in her heart disappeared in an instant... replaced by sweetness and warmth...

Lu Pengcheng’s family of three settled the matter of the bridal price and then stood up, planning to take their leave.

"My in-laws! We’ll go back to the hotel and rest for a bit! We’ll get together later for dinner!"

Lu Pengcheng planned to return to the hotel to rest, but he also meant to avoid Luo Xinyan and her daughter for a while.

Even though they would meet when the time came, it was better to delay the meeting than to encounter them right now.

At least, he could adjust himself later and not lose composure in front of others.

"Sure! You must be tired after the journey! Get some good rest!" Lin Aiguo hurriedly stood up, intending to see them off.

Lin Xia understood Lu Pengcheng’s thoughts. She and Lu Zheng shared an understanding glance and followed Lin Aiguo to see the guests to the gate.

Only after Lu Pengcheng’s car had driven off did everyone turn around to go back inside the house.

Zhang Lanxiang’s eyes followed Lin Xia holding the bridal money and jewelry as she entered the Eastern House, envy burning in her heart.

If it weren’t for the fact that several relatives from Lin Xia’s maternal family were still at home and hadn’t left, she might have asked to take a good look and broaden her horizons.

She had lived for so long and had never seen so many valuable pieces of jewelry!

Lin Xia was truly fortunate, having found such a good family to marry into, one that gave money and goods.

Lin Gang sat nearby with the same thoughts. Ever since he entered Lin Xia’s home, his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

Seeing others live so well in the city, with furniture, television, and sofas, all complete, unlike their home down in the valley that lacked everything and was dark and dingy.

If only Lin Fang could be as impressive as Lin Xia!

He turned his gaze to Lin Chun, who was pouring tea for Lin Aiguo on the couch, and an idea crossed his mind, but he wasn’t sure if Lin Chun was still as approachable as before.

As if sensing something, Lin Chun looked up just as he happened to catch that calculating look in Lin Gang’s eyes, and his brow furrowed with displeasure.

She guessed that her second uncle’s family might be looking to gain some benefits from attending their eldest sister’s wedding.

Zhang Lanxiang read the room and exaggeratedly said to Liu Shuqin with a laugh, "Mom, look how much Lin Xia’s in-laws value her! They’ve given so much betrothal and jewelry; this is the first time in our family to receive such a bounty! Your granddaughter is going to be so blessed in the future!"

"Indeed! She really fell into a pile of luck! You can tell they’re people of status just by looking!"

After sitting down, Liu Shuqin quietly observed the people sitting in the living room.

Faced with the atmosphere from earlier, Lu Pengcheng’s family’s presence was too intimidating, something she as an old lady wasn’t accustomed to encountering, so she nervously dared not to speak.

"It’s our first time seeing that match too! Handsome and with such good conditions," Zhang Lanxiang smacked her lips with dissatisfaction, secretly pondering that if her own Lin Fang could find such a well-off match, wouldn’t they be able to bask in the reflected glory?

With that thought, her gaze swept once more toward the closed door of the Eastern House, a glint passing through her eyes.

Liu Shuqin agreed, "Right, he really is handsome!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo chatted away energetically. Zhang Lanxiang wanted to involve Lin Aijia in the conversation too, "Auntie! This is your first time seeing Lin Xia’s partner as well, right?"

Because of the little incident that happened on the road earlier, Lin Aijia was still fuming, thus she had no desire to talk to Zhang Lanxiang. She hummed in acknowledgment and quietly chatted with Lin Qiu.

"Lin Qiu, when did you get back? You were doing well at your grandma’s, right?"

She felt sympathetic and sorry for Lin Qiu. When Lin Qiu had been engaged to the son from the neighboring Wu Family, she had also come with Lin Aiguo. That boy seemed quite good; who could have predicted that such a thing would happen in the end?

Behind the scenes, she had even complained about it to Yu Changbai. It was a relief that the truth had emerged before the wedding, or what a mess it would have been if it came out after the marriage!

Lin Qiu didn’t feel particularly close to her Aunt Lin Aijia, but right now, seeing the sympathy and good intentions in her eyes, she felt warmed, "I’m fine! We just arrived today as well."

Lin Xia had just come out from the Eastern House after putting things away when the quiet Lin Fang approached her with a smile plastered on her face, "Lin Xia! How come the friend who drove you didn’t come?"

Lin Xia immediately realized she was referring to Jiang Mingyuan and silently scoffed to herself, not expecting that Lin Fang was still thinking about him!

"He came and then left! Why are you asking about him?"

"Oh, no reason! I was just curious," said Lin Fang, who didn’t dare express interest in that man in front of Lin Xia, otherwise Lin Xia wouldn’t hesitate to accuse her of being a home wrecker.

It wasn’t just family seated in this room; there were several outsiders as well.

Song Zhiya sat beside Song Yinran, listening to him chat with their aunt. She took in the scene, her delicate eyebrows knitting together. It seemed Jiang Mingyuan was quite the ladies’ man!

It had been Lu Qing who left with Jiang Mingyuan, and now Lin Fang showed up!

What Song Zhiya didn’t know was that Jiang Mingyuan’s romantic entanglements were even more thriving than she had imagined!

Lu Qing had convinced Jiang Mingyuan to drive her to meet Jiang Mingqing under a pretense, but they hadn’t gone far from the intersection when she suddenly changed her mind and suggested visiting his restaurant for a look and a bite to eat on the way.

Jiang Mingyuan understood the girl’s intentions, and he too wanted to take this opportunity for an honest conversation with her.

Some things needed to be made clear, to avoid leading her on.

As soon as they entered the restaurant’s main hall, which Ji Man had been waiting in for a long time, she spotted them at first glance.
