Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 516 - 515: Don’t be nervous! I got you!

Chapter 516: Chapter 515: Don’t be nervous! I got you!

Lu Shuhui spoke up directly, "Big brother, second brother, Mom can’t be left alone! Maybe I should stay and take care of her?"

She lived closer and usually took care of her more often.

Actually, she also had her own selfish reasons, as she really couldn’t bring herself to like Lin Xia, her niece-in-law.

No matter what, her mother’s current miserable condition couldn’t be completely disconnected from Lin Xia, even if not directly, then indirectly!

If it wasn’t for Lin Xia enraging the elderly lady to the hospital back then, would they have encountered Lu Zheng’s illegitimate daughter in the hospital later on? And would all that followed have happened?

Now that Lin Xia’s background had undergone an earth-shattering change, and Lu Zheng’s family had accepted her, she had already handled everything back in her hometown. What else could she, as an aunt, have to say about it?

Lu Pengcheng understood the reasoning behind it. He was just about to speak when Lu Pengfei beat him to it, "Shuhui, it wouldn’t be good for you not to show up, would it? Xiaozheng’s wife’s side has people who are expected to come, and if they see that the big aunt isn’t there, they might get the wrong idea or think something they shouldn’t..."

"Besides, who will entertain your friends and those colleagues from your work?"

Lu Pengfei didn’t resemble Lu Pengcheng much. He had an average appearance with a stable demeanor and was tall and thin with long arms and legs.

Lu Shuhui nodded resignedly. What her second brother said made sense.

Apart from Lin Xia’s grandfather’s side, many friends and colleagues were coming tomorrow. If she didn’t show up, it genuinely would be an issue.

"Then, who should stay behind..."

Lu Hailing had also wanted to offer to stay and take care of the elderly lady, but now it seemed she couldn’t.

Lu Pengfei looked around the room, and finally, his gaze fell on his daughter, "Lu Qing, how about you stay behind to take care of your grandma?"

He knew this daughter of his was usually close to the old lady, and she had already attended Lu Zheng’s wedding once with her big brother and sister-in-law.

Therefore, after looking around, he felt Lu Qing was indeed the most suitable candidate.

"Huh?" Lu Qing was taken aback by Lu Pengfei’s sudden nomination as she was engrossed in eating her meal and thinking about her own concerns; she wasn’t paying attention to what they were discussing.

Lu Pengfei’s eyes widened momentarily as he put on a stern face, and Song Wanjun, fearing her daughter would talk back to her father in front of everyone, hurriedly took over the conversation, "Qingqing, then you take good care of grandma!"

The reason Lu Qing was slow to respond was that she had been distracted and hadn’t been paying attention to what the elders around the table were saying.

Seeing her mother Song Wanjun say this, she quickly and gladly nodded in agreement, "Okay! I will take good care of grandma!" As for her big brother and Lin Xia’s wedding, she actually didn’t want to attend at all.

Lu Pengfei’s expression finally softened with relief. He instructed with concern, "Lu Qing, be careful not to let slip anything about your big brother getting married in front of your grandma..."

For the time being, his mother knew nothing about these developments. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to tell her, but they didn’t dare to think about the consequences of telling her.

They knew the elderly lady’s temperament all too well. Once she found out about the marriage she had strongly opposed, she would definitely make a huge scene.

But if they told her about Lin Xia’s now impressive family background, the old lady might take it even worse.

So the best course of action for now was to keep it a secret for as long as they could!

"Mmm, I understand!" Lu Qing was confident she had the measure of the situation.

Although she now looked askance at Lin Xia, Fang Youlan was still her dear grandmother, and she knew more about what had happened back then than anyone else.

If her grandmother found out that her big brother and Lin Xia were married, she would surely throw a furious fit and refuse to allow Lin Xia through the door.

Yet, if she told her grandmother about the dramatic change in Lin Xia’s standing, it could be a severe shock to her, and who knows what terrible consequences might follow.

Song Wanjun felt relieved seeing her daughter act so sensibly.

Shao Meirou didn’t know why, but she felt somewhat uneasy about leaving Lu Qing to take care of Fang Youlan. However, with everyone present, and Lu Qing agreeing, she didn’t feel it was her place to say anything.

They were all just hoping that nothing would go wrong on their son’s big day.

Early in the morning, Lu Zheng had tidied himself up well, looking sharp and leading a convoy of cars to the hotel to pick up Lin Xia, who had already put her hair up and applied light makeup, sitting on the bed in her room waiting for him.

When Lu Zheng saw Lin Xia dressed beautifully as a bride, his eyes were filled with amazement. He felt that with just a little bit of dressing up, she became a completely different person.

He praised sincerely, "Wife! You look so beautiful!"

"Haha..." A small chorus of laughter came from the people in the room.

Lin Xia’s face instantly grew warm; she pouted and glanced at him—there were so many people watching, and he was being too straightforward.

In fact, she also wanted to say that he looked very handsome today!

Dressed in new clothes, Lu Zheng was tall and straight, exuding not just handsomeness but also a strong, composed temperament with each movement.

After Qin Zeming and Li Yulan had given Lu Zheng some blessings and advice, Lu Zheng couldn’t wait to pick up Lin Xia and head towards the outside, followed by a crowd of people.

As they moved along, Lu Zheng whispered to her, "Wife! I had insomnia last night!"

Just thinking that as soon as it got light, he would come to pick her up, he was too excited to sleep.

He had tossed and turned until late into the night before he finally fell asleep, and got up very early in the morning; even his father said he was like a chicken on steroids.

Lin Xia wrapped her arms around his neck and teased him with a smile, "I slept very well!"

Actually, she also had insomnia. Besides the various anxieties and nervousness about today’s wedding, she was also longing for the warmth of Lu Zheng’s embrace.

Before, when she slept without anyone holding her, she really didn’t feel anything.

But once she experienced the taste of being embraced, lying alone in bed felt really lonely.

But now, the time they could spend together was inevitably short; it wouldn’t be long before he returned to his unit, and wouldn’t she be alone again?

She hid the disappointment that flickered in her eyes and looked up to see him walking while holding her, looking calm and collected.

"You little rascal! Wait and see how I deal with you tonight!" The hand Lu Zheng placed at her waist intentionally tightened, startling Lin Xia nearly to the point of losing her composure.

"You’re the naughty one!" Lin Xia glared at him reproachfully.

By the time Lu Zheng reached the hotel entrance, he leaned close to her ear and whispered suggestively, "You’ll see tonight!"

While he was putting her into the car, Lin Xia pinched him, eliciting a brow lift from Lu Zheng, his eyes brimming with indulgence.

The car started moving, first to Lu Pengcheng’s house.

Lin Xia had been there before, but at the time, she had only sat in the living room and was unaware of the upstairs and downstairs layout.

As she entered the new house that belonged to them, the careful attention to detail touched Lin Xia’s heart with emotion.

Shao Meirou, noticing Lin Xia’s satisfaction, smiled even more broadly.

After sitting on the bed briefly and going through a few rituals, they headed to the restaurant.

Facing so many pairs of eyes, Lin Xia was actually very nervous inside.

Lu Zheng held her hand tightly, giving her strength. "Don’t be nervous! I’m here!"

He could tell from her cold hand that Lin Xia probably hadn’t faced such a large crowd before and couldn’t help feeling a bit jittery,

"Yes!" Lin Xia turned and smiled at Lu Zheng, and it seemed like she immediately felt less nervous.
