Chapter 631: Chapter 630 Uncle-in-law Has a Suggestion
Lin Xia also didn’t beat around the bush, "All right then! We won’t be shy!"
Song Yinran wanted to lend a hand as well, "Come on! Many hands make light work!"
"Uncle! You don’t need to help out!" Lin Xia declined, "We’re almost done moving everything!"
"Why be so polite with me!" Song Yinran efficiently picked up a rolled-up piece of luggage, and turned to Zhiya who stood smiling cheekily to the side and urged her, "Don’t just stand there looking silly! Take something that you can carry!"
Zhiya playfully wrinkled her nose at Song Yinran, "Hey! Dad! I would have done it without you telling me!" Then she hooked her arm with Lin Xia’s, "Lin Xia! It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you, did you miss me?"
Lin Xia was momentarily stunned before she laughed awkwardly and nodded. She hadn’t expected Zhiya to revert to her former self upon returning, being so enthusiastically affectionate towards her!
It was as if the distance that had existed before was completely nonexistent.
Lin Xia glanced at Song Yinran; she was slightly confused as to whether Zhiya had truly come around or was just putting on an act in front of her father.
Zhiya noticed Lin Xia’s expression. She knew that her sudden return to her old warmth might be a lot for Lin Xia to take in at once.
To cover up the awkwardness, she quickly asked with a laugh, "Do I look tanned?"
Lin Xia observed her closely, speaking in a measured tone, "A bit darker, but who doesn’t get tanned in the summer!"
Subsequently, with the participation of Song Yinran and his daughter, Lin Xia and the others rapidly moved everything upstairs...
On the third floor, both the living room and the bedrooms were cluttered with items.
The heat, combined with the moving of items up and down the stairs, had covered everyone in dust and sweat dripped down their faces.
They each took turns washing up in the bathroom and sat down to chat briefly.
Song Yinran didn’t forget to extend a warm invitation, "Lin Xia! Once you’ve roughly organized things and changed your clothes, come over to my place for dinner!"
Lin Xia smiled and nodded, "Sure! We’ll definitely come! Uncle! You’ve worked hard! You and Cousin should also hurry back and change!"
Having just moved in, it was obviously impractical to host dinner at home right away.
Song Yinran mentioned that Luo Xinyan had already gone to the market to buy groceries, and that’s why Lin Xia didn’t refuse. But it wasn’t proper to go to someone’s house for dinner empty-handed.
After his daughter and he left, Lin Xia immediately sent Lin Dong to buy some prepared food and side dishes outside, which they would bring along with a few bottles of liquor from their home to Song Yinran’s place.
Lin Chun felt that Zhiya had changed a lot compared to before. As he helped Lin Xia clean up the bedroom floor, he muttered quietly, "Xiaoxia! Don’t you think Zhiya seems different from before?"
Could it be that during his stay in the hospital, Zhiya had taken the advice of their eldest sister to heart?
Lin Xia paused in her organizing, turned to him with a smile, "Big Brother, you’ve noticed it too? I have the same feeling!
But it’s better this way; it’s preferable to any awkwardness!"
Whether Zhiya had truly turned over a new leaf or was just pretending to be fervent, it didn’t really matter to Lin Xia and her family now.
"That’s true!" Lin Chun didn’t dwell on the subject further.
Lin Xia and the others didn’t take too long; they quickly sorted out a place to set their feet.
Once Lin Dong returned with the purchases, they changed their clothes and headed to Song Yinran and Luo Xinyan’s home.
Luo Xinyan couldn’t help but complain, "What’s with you kids, coming over for a meal and bringing things with you as if you’re outsiders?"
"Auntie! It’s nothing expensive, just some ready-made stuff!" Lin Xia felt particularly close upon seeing Luo Xinyan, speaking naturally, "Auntie! Can I help you with something?"
"There’s no need! I’ve almost finished cooking! Let’s set the table and eat!"
Lin Xia and the others pitched in, and soon the dishes were all laid out on the table, ready for them to gather around.
However, Luo Xinyan didn’t sit down; she smiled warmly, "You go ahead and start, I’ll take Yueyue’s meal up to her!"
Luo Yue was still in her postpartum confinement and couldn’t eat some of the saltier dishes, so Luo Xinyan had made her a few special dishes.
"Aunt! I’ll help you!" Lin Xia followed her upstairs with the meals.
As they entered, the baby was cradled upright in Luo Yue’s arms, blinking her shiny black eyes and looking around, her white and tender clever appearance made Lin Xia incredibly fond.
"I’ve only been away a few days, and this child has grown so much!" She looked again and noticed that Luo Yue’s complexion had improved a lot from before.
Lin Xia thought it seemed that Luo Xinyan and Yu Hongli kept their secret well; Luo Yue didn’t know her origins had been discovered by Lin Aijia.
"Yeah! They grow up so quickly!"
"Little one! You’re full! You’re really adorable!" Lin Xia took the opportunity to touch the baby’s soft cheek, thinking if she could have a baby like this with Lu Zheng, she would never leave the child’s side.
Luo Xinyan and Luo Yue looked at each other and smiled at Lin Xia’s affectionate manner with the child.
Luo Xinyan couldn’t resist teasing, "Lin Xia! When you go over there, you’ll probably become a mother soon!"
Lin Xia’s cheeks heated up, "Let nature take its course!" She desperately wanted a baby but didn’t know if heaven would grant her wish easily.
Once Luo Xinyan and Lin Xia returned and sat down for the meal.
During the meal, their conversation naturally turned to Lin Dong’s university enrollment.
Although Song Yinran was from the south, he had heard of the university Lin Dong was attending!
He kept praising Lin Dong for being promising and was sure he would achieve great things in the future!
Song Yinran took a sip of white wine and a few bites of food before speaking with Lin Xia, "Lin Xia! I heard you’re transferring your cosmetics store to Jiang Mingyuan?"
"Yes!" Lin Xia nodded, then glanced over at Song Zhiya and saw that she seemed normal, even smiling slightly.
Song Yinran asked, "Have you two completed the handover yet?"
"Not yet! I’ve been too busy recently, haven’t found the time!"
That day, her godmother came to the city, and they had a meal together.
She had discussed this matter with Jiang Mingyuan!
Jiang Mingyuan suggested she name a price, and he would just pay it directly.
But Lin Xia felt that no matter how good their relationship was, it was better to have clear business dealings.
It would also benefit him in taking over later.
Unable to persuade her, Jiang Mingyuan had to go along with her decision.
She definitely had to be involved in the inventory; it wouldn’t work without her.
But lately, she had been busy with her brother’s household registration, selling the house, and moving, and really hadn’t found the time to take care of this matter.
"That being the case," Song Yinran said with a half-smile, "Lin Xia! I have a suggestion for you!"
Lin Xia looked at him attentively, "Uncle! Please tell me!"
Song Yinran put down his chopsticks, "Why not transfer the store to me!"
Faced with Lin Xia’s puzzled look, he continued, "Lin Xia! Here’s the thing! I never intended for your cousin to work in a unit after she graduated!
She’s now dating Jiang Mingyuan, and I don’t really object!
However, even if a girl’s family conditions are good, she should have her own career..."
What he left unsaid was that ever since his beloved daughter started hanging around that youngster Jiang Mingyuan, spending her days at his shop, it didn’t seem quite right.
He had heard about this from Luo Xinyan after returning home and suddenly came up with this idea.
