Chapter 525 - 524: How Could You Be So Kind?

Chapter 525: Chapter 524: How Could You Be So Kind?

Shao Meifang arched her eyebrows and politely chatted with Lin Xia.

But after a couple of sentences, she ran out of words and did not know what to say.

Perhaps she had preconceived notions about Lin Xia, this young girl.

Even now that Lin Xia had a different family background, it was the same!

As for liking her, she really could not bring herself to like her.

Moreover, the words she had said to Lin Xia at the hotel when she followed her sister there still made her feel uneasy when she thought about them now.

She thought, Lin Xia must surely remember all that, right?

Shao Chengzhi first asked Lu Pengcheng a few questions about Fang Youlan, then turned more of his attention to the sweetly interacting young couple and showed a relieved smile.

He was pleased that his grandson had found the happiness he wanted, despite the twists and tribulations along the way, but the outcome was good.

"Lin Xia! I have some supplements here for your father to take over!" Lin Xia’s father had not come for their wedding.

Although he had not seen him in person, proper manners could not be neglected.

Lin Xia did not stand on ceremony with Shao Chengzhi, and she sweetly thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Shao Chengzhi was pleased with Lin Xia’s straightforwardness and waved his hand with a smile, "What are you being polite for! The weather is too cold now, wait until it’s neither cold nor hot, then invite your father over for a visit..."

"Okay!" Lin Xia agreed readily on the surface, but her mind harbored other thoughts.

Even though Lin Aiguo had changed tremendously, no longer being the father who would either hit or yell at them;

she still could not completely forgive Lin Aiguo!

And she definitely did not entertain the thought of taking him along on a leisure trip! If there ever was such a day, the thought of it was unimaginable!

In the past life and this life, too many things had happened between Lin Aiguo and them!

She used to despise him to the core! She wished she could confront him with a sword and kill him!

Their current peaceful coexistence was merely a result of various compromises.

She understood that some injuries, once inflicted, would leave profound memories;

memories that would seep into one’s bones and blood, not easily erased with his changes...

On the train, the sleeper carriages were not very crowded.

In this era, unlike later, wanting to buy a sleeper ticket when traveling was not something that money could necessarily buy.

Not to mention needing a letter of introduction, for employees on official trips, if they went back to their unit to reimburse the travel expense, it was typically for a hard seat ticket.

Paying out of pocket to travel in a sleeper, probably many people would not do so.

After boarding, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng found their assigned lower and middle berths.

Lin Xia sat comfortably on the lower berth, while Lu Zheng deliberately placed the money bag under the berth, on the inside.

Lin Xia’s gaze swept over the location of the bag, the tens of thousands of dollars inside it were withdrawn by Lu Zheng from his buddy, Gu Siqing, and had previously been handed over to her for safekeeping.

Now that they were outside, he worried it was not safe for her to carry it, so he took charge of it.

Actually, this money would be safer with her than with Lu Zheng.

But Lin Xia did not want to reveal the secret of Jade’s room, so she had no objections to his arrangement.

She felt that perhaps she would never tell Lu Zheng that secret in her lifetime, not because she did not trust Lu Zheng, but because she dared not gamble! She was afraid some things might go beyond her control!

Lu Zheng sat next to Lin Xia and asked with concern, "Are you thirsty?"

Lin Xia shook her head, "Not thirsty!" She smiled at Lu Zheng, "This time we can finally sit together until the station!"

Last time they went to meet Lu Zheng’s family and traveled together, Lu Zheng got off the bus midway, and she still clearly remembered the loneliness and loss she felt after he left.

Therefore, now that they could finally get off at the station together, she felt unusually happy.

Lu Zheng looked at her with a doting smile, "This happy?"

He knew, his wife usually seemed very capable, but at many moments she was actually a simple and easily content person.

"Of course!" Lin Xia muttered to him about that time, "After you got off early last time, I felt particularly bored..."

However, thinking about Lu Zheng going back to his unit alone after this vacation ended, a wave of heartache and discomfort swept through her heart.

She really didn’t want to be apart from Lu Zheng, wanting to be with him every day.

Fortunately, their living apart wouldn’t last much longer.

Once Lin Dong had finished his exams, if she wasn’t too entangled, maybe she would go to his side!

Lu Zheng held her small hand, patiently listening to her, actually his feelings after getting off the bus last time were exactly the same as hers.

If it weren’t for their distance and Lin Xia’s connnections to her siblings, he truly wouldn’t have had the heart to leave her alone!

As they chatted casually, Lin Xia suddenly laughed, "Hey! Speaking of which, we both have quite the fate with trains! I still remember the first time I met you..."

Their initial encounter had been on a train, and she still remembered the impression he had left her with.

She had merely glanced at him a couple more times out of curiosity, yet lo and behold, his stern gaze shot over, and she instantly dared not meet his eyes.

Back then in her heart, she labelled him as incredibly serious! Thinking about it, it was amusing. How could she have imagined they would have a story together in the future?

Lu Zheng thought about how they had met on the train several times, indeed having quite a deep connection.

He stifled a laugh and ruffled Lin Xia’s hair, "Do you still remember that other time when I wanted to offer you a seat, and your attitude?"

Initially seeing her huddled at the junction of the train cars, he, moved by a sense of compassion, wanted to offer her a seat inside.

But back then, Lin Xia had acted quite bullish, and thinking about it now still amused him!

However... a surge of tenderness welled up in Lu Zheng’s eyes. He truly felt pity for all the hardships she had endured. If he had known they would become husband and wife, he really should have earlier... not let her suffer...

Lin Xia also laughed; how could she forget?

She remembered being seated at the junction of the train cars because she hadn’t managed to buy a seated ticket, sleeping with her head on her knees.

Later, while she was sleeping soundly, Lu Zheng nudged her. She had indeed been very domineering at that time!

Recalling that scene, Lin Xia shyly stuck out her tongue, "At that time, I didn’t know you wanted to give up your seat to me! But why were you so kind back then?"

Lu Zheng answered seriously, "Do I not seem like a kind person?!"

Lin Xia laughed, "Not really, just felt it was so strange. When you took me back to the train compartment and chased away the man who had taken your seat. I kept wondering why you were helping me."

Lu Zheng pretended to be profound, adding seriously, "It was probably because you’re good-looking!"

Lin Xia playfully shoved him, "I don’t believe that!"

As they chatted and laughed, the otherwise tedious journey didn’t feel long.

When they got off at the station and returned to the home by the clothing store, Lin Xia saw that everything was fine at home and finally let down the heart she had been holding up.
