Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 543 - 542: I am Lin Qiu’s Partner!

Chapter 543: Chapter 542: I am Lin Qiu’s Partner!

If it weren’t for living here, Lin Qiu would rather never see him again!

But the world has a way of being so coincidental, the less she wanted to see him, the more he appeared in front of her!

From Lin Qiu’s furrowed brows as she stopped in her tracks, Kang Yijun discerned a clue; he had heard some things about her when they first met for a matchmaking.

It was said that Lin Qiu had been engaged to the neighbor next door, but she was snatched away by a colleague of the man’s from his workplace.

The man pushing the cart, without a doubt, must be the one who betrayed her.

He immediately walked up to Lin Qiu’s side, giving onlookers the illusion that the two were very close.

Lin Qiu sensed Kang Yijun’s intention and gratefully nodded slightly at him.

Kang Yijun perhaps still didn’t know what had happened.

But his instinctive action made her feel very warm-hearted.

At least, it gave her an inexplicable confidence when facing Wu Zhengyang.

Wu Zhengyang also looked towards the unfamiliar young man, his instincts telling him that this man had a significant relationship with Lin Qiu.

Seeing Lin Qiu’s tense face, his heart twisted in pain.

He really didn’t want to hurt Lin Qiu, but time and again it was his stupidity and impulsiveness that caused her great harm.

This time, it was because he had gone to her store to ask her about something, giving Miao Xue a reason to storm into her store and cause trouble.

If it weren’t for Lin Xia coincidentally being there as well, he truly couldn’t imagine how the gentle and kind Lin Qiu would have been bullied by Miao Xue.

His heart was filled with bitter guilt, yet at this moment, he dared not say a word.

He was afraid that once again his actions would cause trouble and inconvenience for Lin Qiu!

Lin Chun and Lu Zheng showed no pleasant faces toward Wu Zhengyang, and if it wasn’t for Lin Xia’s repeated instructions not to lay hands on him, and that Lin Xia had just satisfyingly beaten Miao Xue, they really wanted to beat him up badly!

Lin Chun passed by Wu Zhengyang as if he didn’t see him, boldly and warmly calling to Kang Yijun, "You’re home! This is it! Come inside!"

"Okay!" Kang Yijun smiled and deferred, "Big brother! Brother-in-law! After you!"

Lu Zheng deliberately said with profound meaning, "We’re all family here! Why so formal? Come in together!"

Lin Qiu ignored Wu Zhengyang, instead looking tenderly at Kang Yijun, "Yeah! Come on in!"

Kang Yijun gave Wu Zhengyang one last deep look, his smile lingering on his lips as he followed Lu Zheng and the others through the gate.

Wu Zhengyang stood outside the door, letting the cold wind howl and freeze him in place, feeling that cold breeze piercing his heart as well.

He stared fixedly at the open door of the Lin Family, originally harboring a fantasy that Lin Qiu was lying, but reality slapped him harshly awake...

When Lin Chun and the others got home, Lin Xia had already prepared the dishes.

Aside from preparing digestible porridge, buns, and side dishes, she also stir-fried six dishes;

After all, it was Kang Yijun’s first visit to their home, and the first meal had to be a rich one.

Lin Xia and Song Zhiya had discussed beforehand during their absence, praised repeatedly by the older maternal aunt, wondering what Kang Yijun actually looked like;

When they finally saw him in person, both felt that this man appeared more vigorous and handsomely stylish than they had imagined.

In Lin Xia’s eyes, Kang Yijun and Lu Zheng were two completely different types of men!

If Lu Zheng normally gave off a stern and rigid impression, then Kang Yijun should be considered handsome and sunny, also revealing a calm and composed presence in his eyes.

Lin Qiu introduced him, "This is my sister Lin Xia! This is my cousin Song Zhiya! And this is Kang Yijun!"

While Lin Xia and Song Zhiya observed Kang Yijun, Kang Yijun also took the opportunity to size them up.

Facing a group of pretty young girls who all seemed to be in their early twenties, he really couldn’t bring himself to call Lin Qiu "sister" and "cousin" as Lin Qiu did, at least not until they were married.

Therefore, his final words changed to, "Hello!"

"Hello!" Lin Xia greeted Kang Yijun naturally, "Go wash your hands and let’s eat! We can sit and chat while eating!"

Lin Qiu had told him about Kang Yijun’s age; he should be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, indeed making it awkward to address her and Song Zhiya.

"Okay!" Kang Yijun smiled warmly. He had a very good impression of Lin Qiu’s family; everyone was easy-going, and it was clear that there was a harmonious and happy atmosphere in the house.

Lin Xia instructed Lin Qiu, "Xiaoqiu! Take him to wash his hands first!"

"Okay!" Lin Qiu responded, leading Kang Yijun, who had placed his bag down, into the kitchen to wash hands.

In the living room, Lin Xia gave Lu Zheng a questioning look, meaning to ask what he thought about the situation.

Lu Zheng nodded lightly in understanding; in his view, this young man looked spirited and not too bad.

However, the nature of the young man’s job meant that he wouldn’t have much time for home, and it wasn’t without its dangers either.

He couldn’t help but worry a bit.

But now was certainly not the time to talk about these concerns—they would have to wait until he was alone with Lin Xia to discuss them.

Lin Chun, however, didn’t think so much. Seeing Kang Yijun follow Lin Qiu out after washing his hands, he also called Lu Zheng to go wash up before eating.

When everyone was seated and started to eat, Lin Xia casually inquired about Kang Yijun’s job and family situation.

Although Lin Qiu had told her some details already, face-to-face queries surely provided more realistic and detailed information.

Kang Yijun conducted himself with poise, answering every question.

His father was the director of a design institute, his mother was a primary school principal, and he had a brother and sister at home—the sister worked at the design institute and the brother was in college.

Regarding his profession, he spoke honestly about his day-to-day work.

By the end of breakfast, Lin Xia’s impression of Kang Yijun had greatly improved; he seemed like an upright and reliable man, worthy of a lifelong commitment.

But, at the same time, Lin Xia had new concerns!

Kang Yijun’s honesty had informed her that although the job of a train conductor looked good and well-compensated, it was also very busy and challenging.

This inevitably meant that being his partner would require much more effort.

Yet to her detached observation, when Kang Yijun discussed these matters, there wasn’t a hint of retreat in Lin Qiu’s eyes.

After the meal, Lin Chun went straight to work, and Lin Xia and Lu Zheng went to open the cosmetics shop.

Lin Qiu’s original plan was to let Kang Yijun rest while she and her cousin went to the clothing store.

However, Kang Yijun said he wasn’t tired at all, so Song Zhiya wisely stayed behind in the back room and didn’t join Lin Qiu and Kang Yijun at the clothing store, preventing herself from being a third wheel.

Kang Yijun first helped Lin Qiu lower the wooden shutters outside the store, and they were just talking.

Wang Lan from the nearby Sun Family corner shop, who had previously seen them encounter the Wu Family, emerged out of curiosity, not caring about anything else.

"Lin Qiu! Do you have guests?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Kang Yijun as she spoke.

Seeing his attire, which was quite good—a black leather jacket in such cold weather without a cotton coat!

Who else could afford to wear that?

And look at his appearance, truly dignified and spirited.

Standing next to him, Wu Zhengyang from the Wu Family was immediately overshadowed, probably appearing as rustic as a bumpkin!
