Chapter 615: Chapter 614 He Wants to See the Child

Lin Aijia had heard about this from her oldest brother and wanted to have a good talk with Lin Xia.

She felt that her relationship with Lin Xia and the others was closer than that of the other members of the Lin Family.

Maybe, they might listen to her advice a bit more.

Originally, she had planned to take the opportunity of her daughter-in-law giving birth to persuade Lin Xia.

But Lin Xia and the others were all not at home.

Now that they were face to face, how could she miss this opportunity to advise?

Lin Xia’s face stern, "Aunt! You really don’t need to worry about this! I have my own limits!"

She had anticipated, as long as she saw anyone from the old Lin Family, they were sure to bring up this matter.

She was sick to death of this, how could she possibly have the patience to explain further?

Besides, what would that change after she explained?

Was she supposed to tell them now that her older brother was planning to leave here to live with their grandfather?

Just selling a house had caused such an uproar.

If she spoke about those things, the consequences were predictable.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aijia became anxious, "You child! So stubborn! What kind of limits do you have!

Aren’t we, as your elders, thinking more long-term for your own good? We couldn’t possibly harm you..."

"Aunt! It’s not necessary! You better take care of your own family’s affairs! I’m riding off! You should head back!" Lin Xia said and then got on her bicycle.

She had no desire to listen to Lin Aijia’s nagging. After all, Lin Aijia was siding with Lin Aiguo.

She could lose her temper and say something harsh, which might just leave Lin Aijia floored.

But this issue was none of Lin Aijia’s concern, and it really wasn’t necessary, so, Lin Xia chose the best plan: to retreat.

"Lin Xia! Lin Xia! Don’t rush off! Listen to me!"

No matter how Lin Aijia called after her, Lin Xia was deaf to it, pedaling her bicycle swiftly away.

Lin Aijia stomped her foot in frustration behind her; she truly had no way to deal with her headstrong niece.

When they didn’t have much money, she couldn’t control her.

Now Lin Xia was doing her own business, had money, was married, and even had influential relatives; she was even more assertive...

The next morning, someone "bang bang" knocked on the door of Lin Xia’s house.

When Lin Xia saw that the person standing outside was the haggard yet still handsome Lu Pengcheng, her mouth gaped open, wide enough to fit an egg.

She hadn’t expected that her father-in-law would come over without even a word of notice!

"Dad! How come you’re here? Please come in!"

Faced with her daughter-in-law Lin Xia’s surprised inquiry, Lu Pengcheng’s face flashed with discomfort. He lightly coughed into his fist, "I bought a bunch of stuff yesterday! Then I thought it’d be best to just bring it over!"

In truth, his visit was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Seeing all the things he had bought for his grandson, there was only one urgent thought in his mind—he wanted to see the child!

Even just a glance, to know what the child looked like, would satisfy him!

Worried that others might overhear and start guessing, Lin Xia hurriedly ushered Lu Pengcheng inside, "Ah! Dad! Let’s talk inside the house!"

"Alright!" said Lu Pengcheng, carrying the bags and following Lin Xia into the yard.

Lin Chun and the others had not finished their breakfast in the living room and were equally astonished by Lu Pengcheng’s arrival.

But all of them quickly recovered, adjusting their expressions and warmly greeted in unison, "Uncle is here!"

"You haven’t finished eating yet!" said Lu Pengcheng with a friendly smile, adding an explanation, "I came here to handle some affairs and thought I’d drop by to see Lin Xia!"

Lin Chun hurriedly took the bags from him, "Uncle, haven’t you had breakfast yet? Wash your hands and have something to eat!"

"Haven’t eaten yet! Great! I will go wash my hands first!" Lu Pengcheng had nothing much to say when he arrived at his daughter-in-law’s house.

Lin Xia went to the kitchen to get Lu Pengcheng some water, while Lin Qiu considerately headed to the kitchen to fetch him a bowl and chopsticks for his meal.

Lin Chun and Lin Dong exchanged glances, both feeling an indescribable eeriness.

Once Lu Pengcheng sat down to eat, he merely made small talk at the table and did not mention Luo Yue at all.

After the meal, Lin Chun and Lin Dong together cleared the table, while Lin Qiu efficiently washed the dishes.

The three of them knew better and stayed in the clothing store, leaving Lin Xia and the others space to talk.

Lu Pengcheng, holding a freshly brewed cup of tea, asked Lin Xia in detail about her visit to see the child at Luo Yue’s house.

Lin Xia only mentioned the pleasing aspects, such as how cute and good-looking the child was, healthy and impatient, with a loud crying voice, and so on.

She didn’t say a word about the disagreements between Lin Aijia and Luo Yue and her daughter.

The more Lu Pengcheng heard, the more curious and expectant he became about the child. He wished he could go see the child at Luo Yue’s house immediately.

"Lin Xia! When can I see?"

Lin Xia suddenly felt a bit troubled. Lu Pengcheng, eager to see his grandchild, wanted to visit the child.

She could fully understand his feelings and couldn’t say he was wrong!

However, after all, their relationship was so intricately complex.

Lin Xia carefully said, "Dad! I think, it’s best to give them a call first to ask about their opinion!

Moreover, my aunt is there..."

Lu Pengcheng’s arrival had been so sudden, she was totally unprepared.

If they were to visit rashly, something unpleasant might occur!

Luo Yue is currently in her confinement period and must not get angry, otherwise, it could cause lasting health issues.

And her aunt was there too; if she were to notice something, wouldn’t that just stir up unnecessary trouble?

Lu Pengcheng’s previously bright eyes dimmed slightly, his lips carrying a small smile, "Right! Lin Xia, you are very thoughtful! I was just too impulsive in my eagerness!

Like this! You ask first! See what they think! If they really don’t want me to see, then... I’ll let it go..."

He knew Luo Yue particularly hated him!

Perhaps she would never call him ’Dad’ in her life!

Yet, he couldn’t control his foolish and wishful thinking; he dearly wanted to see his little grandchild with his own eyes!

Lin Xia’s words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing his irrational flames.

He couldn’t just bring not only no happiness to the mother and daughter but also cause them unnecessary trouble.

After all, Luo Yue was married, and her mother-in-law was taking care of her at home.

Lin Xia glanced at the clock in the living room, picked up the receiver, and called Luo Xinyan’s house. She didn’t know whether Luo Xinyan was at Luo Yue’s house at this time.

If Luo Xinyan was not there, she really needed to make a personal visit and talk face to face.

"Beep... beep... beep..." The phone rang many times.

Just as Lin Xia was about to give up and hang up, someone finally picked up, "Hello?"

"Auntie Luo! It’s Lin Xia!"

Luo Xinyan’s voice was cheerful, "Lin Xia! Why are you calling me? I just came back to get some stuff; otherwise, I certainly wouldn’t have caught the call!"

Lin Xia glanced at Lu Pengcheng, who pretended to be calm as he picked up his tea cup but was actually listening intently, "Um... Auntie Luo! My father-in-law is here!"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Xinyan didn’t speak immediately; Lin Xia could only hear her breathing become more rapid.

Lin Xia bit her lip, and just as she was about to speak again, Luo Xinyan from the other end asked, "What’s he here for? What does he want to do?"

"Auntie Luo..." Under the eager and expectant gaze of Lu Pengcheng, Lin Xia finally plucked up the courage to say, "He wants to see the child!"
