Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 678 - 677: You’re Unwilling?

Chapter 678: Chapter 677: You’re Unwilling?

If Lin Xia managed to give birth to this child successfully, whether it was a boy or a girl, she would have firmly established her footing in the Lu family!

By then, coupled with Lu Zheng’s doting on Lin Xia...

Meng Xiangzi squinted her eyes, perhaps, in this lifetime, she might never become Lu Zheng’s wife!

This was not the result she wanted to achieve!

Meng Xiangnan looked at his sister strangely, only to see her pretty face constantly changing expressions, "Sister! Why have you become so weird? What does Lin Dong’s pregnancy have to do with us?"

He hadn’t expected that the casual remark he had just made would elicit such a bizarre reaction from his sister.

Meng Xiangzi quickly concealed the emotions she had inadvertently revealed, curling her lips into a smile, "Xiangnan! How could that expression of mine be weird? I was just a bit surprised to hear the news!

Didn’t I tell you that we went to experience life at Sister Lin Dong’s place, and at that time, she wasn’t pregnant yet! I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly!"

Her matters, whether it was with her close brother or with those family members, she didn’t want to let them know.

After all, rebirth was not like other matters; if not handled well, it could be mistaken for mental illness or even cause some unnecessary trouble.

After her rebirth, she didn’t have lofty ambitions, nor did she want to become someone great!

She just wanted to use the opportunity and convenience of rebirth to become Lu Zheng’s wife again!

The two of them would live a loving life together, making up for the regrets from her previous life!

Although Meng Xiangnan could tell that Meng Xiangzi was not sincere, he did not continue to inquire further.

Since he was no longer a child, if his sister didn’t want him to know something, he was also willing to pretend to be ignorant.

Meng Xiangzi hurriedly said goodbye to Meng Xiangnan and left the campus.

She urgently thought about countermeasures.

She absolutely could not let Lin Xia give birth to the child smoothly.

Otherwise, she would have no chance at all!

But, she couldn’t possibly go there again easily.

Even if she went again, it would be of no use; after the previous incident, both Lin Xia and Lu Zheng had become wary of her.

Moreover, her family would also become hugely suspicious, wondering why she needed to go there so frequently.

Therefore, if she wanted Lin Xia to lose the child, she needed to approach it from a different angle.

Meng Xiangzi anxiously tugged at her hair, sinking into deep thought for a while.

After a long time, she actually came up with a good idea.

Even though she couldn’t go there herself, Lin Xia’s brother and her brother were classmates, so she might start from there...

Pregnant women are most afraid of being frightened and emotionally stirred; perhaps encountering something unexpected, she might have a miscarriage on her own...

By then, not only would Lu Zheng blame her, but Lu Zheng’s family would certainly as well...

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng were a bit surprised but also understood why Shao Meirou rushed over so quickly.

Shao Meirou got out of the car and was welcomed back by Lu Zheng into their house.

As soon as they met, Shao Meirou happily looked Lin Xia up and down, noticing her cheeks were no longer plump and couldn’t help but frown slightly, "Lin Xia! I see you need to enhance your nutrition recently! You haven’t gained weight during the time you were in the provincial city."

Lin Xia nodded with a smiling face, "Yes! Mom! I haven’t had much of an appetite recently!"

She found the fact of the pregnancy truly amazing!

Ever since the day she confirmed she was pregnant after feeling nauseous while brushing her teeth, it seemed like she had entered a new mode.

She used to vomit at the slightest unwelcome smell, and eating something greasy or heavy would make her sick as well.

She and Lu Zheng had figured out her diet over the past couple of days, which was plain rice porridge with pickled vegetables to avoid vomiting.

Therefore, she had been having porridge for every meal these past days.

Shao Meirou understood what it was like to be pregnant, so she didn’t press on and changed the subject instead,

"I visited Grandpa Liao before coming here, and he said that ’all medicine has a degree of toxicity’, and if one’s body is healthy, there’s no need for medicinal supplements, dietary nourishment would be better."

Shao Meirou pointed to the many packages she had brought and told Lin Xia and Lu Zheng who had prepared them.

Seeing Lu Zheng taking things out of the bags, Lin Xia wanted to help as well, but Shao Meirou stopped her.

"Lin Xia, things are different now! From now on, let Xiaozheng handle any strenuous or dirty tasks! You should just focus on taking care of your pregnancy!"

Lin Xia actually just wanted to show off in front of her mother-in-law.

A few days ago, she had stepped down from all her duties at home, and Lu Zheng would cook whatever she wanted; her only task was to sleep until she naturally woke up each day.

Lu Zheng jokingly, feigning complaint said, "Mom! How come my status at home is plummeting straight down since you arrived?"

Shao Meirou had never imagined her son, who was usually so stern and stoic, would show such a brilliantly smiling and light-hearted joking demeanor.

She laughed and scolded, "What’s wrong with doing some work? It’s only right that you step down! Why, aren’t you willing?"

Lu Zheng, finding it amusing, winked at Lin Xia, "How could I possibly be unwilling? I’m more than willing!"

Shao Meirou, seeing the couple’s affectionate exchanges right in front of her, felt incredibly reassured in her heart.

She had countless times been thankful that she had listened to her father’s advice in the past and timely changed her mind to agree to their union.

Otherwise, she might never have seen her son so happily smiling in her lifetime!

Shao Meirou stayed at their home.

Hao Xiaoyun and others knew about Lu Zheng’s mother Shao Meirou’s arrival and specifically came over to visit, sharing a meal together.

Yang Wanmeng didn’t say it, but deep down, she was very envious, noticing that Lu Zheng’s mother was evidently of a distinguished background, speaking and chatting in an extraordinary manner.

Comparing her to her own mother-in-law, the difference was like night and day, and it immediately soured her mood.

Lin Xia was unaware that she had inadvertently become an object of envy.

As a new pregnant woman, she enjoyed the meticulous care and tender protection from her mother-in-law, which warmed her heart.

Her own mother had passed away early, and in both her past and present life, she had never enjoyed much of the doting and protection that came from a mother.

Now, unexpectedly, she was experiencing this affection from her mother-in-law.

Although the weather was very cold, with icy and snowy conditions outside.

But staying indoors all the time without going out to breathe some fresh air was not good for one’s health.

Shao Meirou and Lin Xia, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, took advantage of the sunny midday to go downstairs for a walk.

Unfortunately, as much as Shao Meirou didn’t want to leave, she had to; since her arrival, she had been constantly worried about Shao Chengzhi’s health.

Furthermore, seeing that Lin Xia’s overall condition was quite good, she decided to leave after a few days.

Before leaving, Shao Meirou shared her thoughts with Lin Xia and Lu Zheng, "I was thinking, the nearest place here is just a small town and quite remote.

How about Lin Xia comes back with me to the provincial city? This way, she can receive better care, and we could go to a big hospital for check-ups.

It would also be convenient for whatever she wants to eat or buy!"
