Chapter 662: Chapter 661: Don’t Try to Be Overly Strong

Lu Zheng also recognized the woman sitting on the ground, clutching her ankle in pain.

He looked down at Meng Xiangzi from above, a glimmer of light flashing across his deep eyes at that moment.

If he wasn’t mistaken, she was the same woman who had been staring at him in the cafeteria at noon, which he had found exceptionally repellent.

After the performance, she appeared next to Lin Xia, suddenly transforming into Lin Dong’s college classmate’s sister.

Now, she had sprained her ankle and was staying here.

In one day, he had seen her three times, which was a little too frequent.

These thoughts flashed through Lu Zheng’s mind in the blink of an eye, and he spoke in an indifferent tone, "Dawei, take this comrade to the clinic!" Lu Zheng did not care what intentions this woman held nor intended to explore them.

Meng Xiangzi was both angry and resentful; she hadn’t expected Lu Zheng to be so indifferent to her.

Even if he disregarded everything else, given her sorry state and the fact she was a sister to Lin Xia’s brother’s classmate, couldn’t he extend a hand to help her up!

But at this moment, she didn’t at all want to mention her connection to Lin Xia and him.

That would make her even more depressed and uncomfortable.

"Okay." Guo Dawei suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth and bent down to speak to Meng Xiangzi, "Comrade! Do you need me to help you?"

He was extremely grateful for Lu Zheng’s understanding, for giving him the chance to interact with a pretty girl.

If the guys at the unit found out, they would definitely be envious and cry out in admiration.

Facing Guo Dawei’s smiling face and attentiveness, Meng Xiangzi became even more irritated.

She definitely did not want this crude, smelly man to touch her.

"Thank you! I can manage by myself!" her tone still gentle.

She seemed strong as she slowly stood up, but just as she was about to be fully upright, she suddenly fell toward Lu Zheng’s direction.

She just couldn’t believe that Lu Zheng could remain so stern and cold!

As long as he caught her...

Unfortunately, Meng Xiangzi was destined to be disappointed.

Facing this sudden change, Lu Zheng’s instinctive reaction was not to reach out and save her, but to swiftly back away two steps.

If it wasn’t for Guo Dawei’s quick action in grabbing Meng Xiangzi’s arm, she might have had a close encounter with the ground.

"Are you okay?" Guo Dawei was scared out of his wits, thinking how pitiful it would be if such a beautiful girl fell to the ground.

Lu Zheng really didn’t spare any feelings for beauty!

But then again, he thought that since Lu Zheng had a wife, stepping back and not helping was actually the right decision!

Otherwise, if word got out, not only would his reputation suffer, but it would also be hard to explain to his sister-in-law!

"Thank you! I’m fine, just stood up too fast and lost my balance for a moment!" Meng Xiangzi explained why she suddenly fell.

She almost bit her silver teeth in frustration, Lu Zheng really was cruel, watching her fall to the ground and not lifting a finger to help.

Lu Zheng’s gaze upon Meng Xiangzi was heavy, his entire presence emitting a ’keep away’ coldness even more intensely.

"Dawei! Take her to the clinic right now!"

"Alright then!"

Guo Dawei sensed Lu Zheng’s reluctance and spoke in a subdued voice, encouraging her, "Comrade! You see, you can’t even stand properly, don’t be stubborn! If you feel embarrassed, you can lean on my arm!"

Guo Dawei thought maybe the girl was too shy to ask for help, hence she didn’t want them to help her.

Little did he know that it wasn’t that she didn’t want their help but that she only wanted Lu Zheng’s help!

Meng Xiangzi felt she had really trapped herself by digging her own hole.

At this point, all she could do was reluctantly place her hand on Guo Dawei’s arm, "Alright! Thank you!"

She limped along, forcefully controlling herself not to look back at Lu Zheng.

In her heart, she swore that she remembered everything she endured today. When the day came that Lu Zheng divorced Lin Xia and married her, she would definitely make him apologize profusely and compensate her...

It was not until the next day when Yang Wanmeng was seeing off Meng Xiangzi that she learned about her accidentally spraining her ankle.

She concernedly wanted to check on Meng Xiangzi’s ankle, "Xiangzi, are you feeling better now? Does this mean you won’t be able to perform on stage?"

Meng Xiangzi dodged her touch, smiling gently, "It’s nothing serious! Wanmeng, it’s an old injury, just needs some rest and I’ll be fine!"

Not seeing Lin Xia around, she casually asked, "Is Lin Xia at home?"

"I don’t know!" Yang Wanmeng had intentionally not called out to Lin Xia when she came downstairs, and, of course, she couldn’t say that in front of Meng Xiangzi.

Meng Xiangzi smiled wryly, "Wanmeng, I’m glad to have met you! Even if I leave, let’s not lose touch."

Yang Wanmeng was pleased to hear her say this, hesitating about how to bring it up, "Yes, let’s keep in touch often! If you have time, you can come here to visit me!"

"Sure, definitely!" A deep shade flickered through the depths of Meng Xiangzi’s eyes...

Lin Xia had been up late the night before processing pork intestines and livers, so it wasn’t unexpected that she got up late in the morning.

When Lu Zheng returned, he arrived just as Lin Xia, still groggy, was coming out of the bathroom.

As soon as Lu Zheng entered the house, he smelled some food and knew in his heart that his wife hadn’t obeyed him.

Even so, Lu Zheng took the opportunity to "eat tofu."

Later, although Lu Zheng knew that Meng Xiangzi and her group were leaving, he didn’t speak a word of it to Lin Xia.

Regarding that deeply scheming woman, he didn’t want his wife to get close to her.

It was Lin Xia who asked about Meng Xiangzi and her group leaving, "By the way, did those people from the troupe leave?"

Yesterday, after hearing Yang Wanmeng ask, Meng Xiangzi mentioned they were leaving today.

If they hadn’t left, she would have gone to see them off, since Meng Xiangzi was Lin Dong’s older sister.

Lu Zheng, with a straight face, lied, "They left! Wife, I think you and that Meng person are not quite the same kind, so perhaps it’s better not to keep in touch!"

Lin Xia found it amusing; after all, she and Meng Xiangzi hadn’t gotten along well in their conversation, and she hadn’t intended to get too close anyway.

But it was rare for Lu Zheng to express his opinion so directly; he seldom interfered with such matters.

Lin Xia teased him, "How can you tell that we are not of the same kind? I thought she was quite nice!"

"Wife, you must trust your man’s sharp intuition!" Lu Zheng didn’t want to bring up yesterday’s incident.

Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, "Okay! I didn’t like her much either! I don’t know why, but she seems strange. It looks like she’s smiling at me, but her eyes don’t hold much warmth! Really hard to read that person!"

Lu Zheng embraced Lin Xia contently, resting his head on her shoulder, "My wife’s intuition is also very sharp!"

"Of course! Who do you think is your wife?" Lin Xia responded, looking out the window yet deep in thought.

She actually had some doubts in her heart that she couldn’t share with Lu Zheng.

When she first met Meng Xiangzi, Meng wore a buttoned-up blazer, which Lin Xia always felt was a bit incongruous.

Could it be that Meng Xiangzi was also reborn?

Lin Xia suddenly grinned again. Thinking so wildly just because of a piece of clothing, what was she thinking?

After the National Day, the weather became colder day by day.

Lin Xia didn’t encounter any business dealings with Hexiong, so she planned to think about what to do after the year ended and to take a break for now.

In that case, she could properly take care of her health and have a child with Lu Zheng sooner.

Apart from occasionally going to the town to shop for some items, Lin Xia spent most of her time bundled up at home during the winter.

She kept busy at home, managing the household during the day, washing clothes, and cooking; in her spare time, she even knitted sweaters and pants for Lu Zheng and herself.

She also planned to knit some sweaters for Lin Chun and the others once she finished these...
