347: Chapter 346: Are You Sure It’s Her?
Sun Xiaoli smiled lightly, “Oh, soone introduced you!”
Shao irou picked up the conversation, “Yes, it’s the mother of the owner of Mingyuan Restaurant!
You guys know that, right?”
Ding Ling chid in with a laugh at that mont, “Of course!
It’s Big Bro!
He is good friends with our boss!”
“Oh!
Good friends!” Shao irou nodded.
Sun Xiaoli jabbed Ding Ling from behind the counter, signaling her not to speak carelessly.
Why did she feel this woman had an ulterior motive?
Ding Ling had been selling rchandise with her for quite so ti now, and they had a certain level of tacit understanding; she didn’t reveal anything further.
Seeing that she couldn’t get anything more out of them, Shao irou took her purchases and left.
After she left, Ding Ling murmured curiously, “Sister Sun!
What do you think this woman does?”
Sun Xiaoli was also unable to figure out Shao irou, “I don’t know!
In any case, she’s soone interested in the boss’s affairs, haven’t you seen how she was prying?
In the future, if we encounter such people, we need to keep our lips sealed tight!”
Ding Ling covered her mouth and mumbled indistinctly, “I’ll rember that!”
That evening, Lin Xia ca to the shop to collect money and close up, and naturally, she heard about the strange woman from Ding Ling and the others.
She was one hundred percent sure it was Lu Zheng’s mother.
Lin Xia gave them a few evasive responses, and after closing up the shop, they parted ways at the street corner.
As Lin Xia leisurely rode her bike, she wondered if Lu Zheng’s mother had investigated her thoroughly, looking into her background and family assets, and if she was now planning to start a face-to-face conversation with her.
That night, Lin Xia didn’t sleep well.
She wasn’t soone who couldn’t handle pressure, but she had never experienced her future mother-in-law showing up at her door.
Embracing the complex emotions, Lin Xia waited for the reappearance of Lu Zheng’s mother, but two days passed without seeing her again.
After much thought, she gave Lu Zheng a call.
Lu Zheng rarely received calls from Lin Xia, so he was in a good mood when she rang.
“Miss ?
I’ll be there in two days!”
His deep and magnetic voice ca through the receiver, making Lin Xia’s heartbeat quicken.
She gave a light cough to cover up the little change in her heart.
“Lu Zheng!
I need to tell you sothing; it seems your mother has visited my place.”
“What?
Are you sure it’s her?” Lu Zheng asked in surprise, his eyebrows raised, “Did she see you and say anything to you?”
He was genuinely worried that his mother might have said sothing inappropriate to Lin Xia.
“I think so!
Because I’ve seen her twice now!
She didn’t really say anything to .
She just pretended to buy sothing from my stall, but I recognized her!
She also went to the clothing and costics stores.
She hasn’t appeared in the past two days, so I called to let you know…” Lin Xia briefly narrated the encounter to him.
Lu Zheng listened with agreent, and then said, “Xiaoxia!
Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.
I’m coming to you!
When I’m there, if you have ti, co with to et my grandpa and the family, okay?”
He had had this thought before the New Year.
But knowing how busy Lin Xia was, and that he had no vacation ti, he hadn’t brought it up.
Now that his mother had already gone to Spring City and even t Lin Xia, it was ti to lay things out on the table.
Since he was in a relationship with Lin Xia, he had to take responsibility.
“Your grandpa?” The ntion of eting his grandpa out of the blue was like dropping a bomb, suddenly wanting to take her to see his grandfather?
It caught her completely off guard.
“Should I go et them?”
She heard from Lin Chun that the other party seed to be a big shot.
To the old her, such people were untouchable, almost mythical beings.
“What’s wrong with that?
My grandpa has always wanted to et you!
He even ntioned it before the New Year, but I knew you were busy at that ti, so I postponed it until after.”
“Didn’t we agree not to tell our families?
Is your mother coming here because you…” Lin Xia’s mind was in turmoil; she didn’t know how to face his family.
After all, she was just an ordinary person, and she feared they might embarrass her, or give her the cold shoulder.
What she feared even more was that her eldest brother, who was still there, might run into trouble.
Lu Zheng, detecting the unease in Lin Xia’s tone, said, “Xiaoxia!
Don’t be angry yet!
Listen to explain!”
“Alright!
Go ahead!
I’m listening!” Lin Xia wasn’t the type to make trouble without a reason; she was willing to give him a chance.
“My grandfather knew about us from the beginning!
He was also aware of the few tis I went to see you!
Last ti I went to your place, I told my family I was going to see a friend out of town, but only my grandpa knew I was going to find you!
When I returned, he found out we were dating and was very happy.
He really wanted to et you then…” Lu Zheng said a lot to Lin Xia.
Lin Xia listened silently, truly not expecting things to be like this.
She thought not a single person in Lu Zheng’s family would agree to their being together.
The only outco she foresaw upon being discovered was that they would be torn apart.
If they couldn’t interfere with Lu Zheng, they would seek to break through from her end.
Lin Xia asked uncertainly, “Did your grandpa really say that?”
“Of course!
I’m not lying to you!
And he is very curious about the girl who keeps rejecting .
His exact words were, he wonders what kind of girl could reject his precious grandson ti and again…”
Lin Xia couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Even without having t the old gentleman, she found him to be a very interesting old man.
Hearing Lin Xia’s laughter, Lu Zheng knew she wasn’t fixating on that issue anymore, and he felt sowhat relieved.
He didn’t an to hide things from her intentionally; he just didn’t want Lin Xia to have too many concerns.
The girl was perfect in every way, her only flaw being that she was too apprehensive.
“What exactly is his status?”
“A retired official!”
Lin Xia humd, “I don’t believe it!”
She didn’t ntion what Lin Chun had told her, wanting to get the answer from him instead.
“Right now, he doesn’t manage anything anymore, his health isn’t good, you know that…” Lu Zheng said, “So this ti I’m coming, to see if you have so ti to get away for a few days, and I’ll take you to et him!”
“I…
Let’s talk about it when we et, Lu Zheng…
Just thinking about it makes anxious.”
Would Lu Zheng’s family really agree to their being together?
Lu Zheng said gently, “Xiaoxia!
Don’t think about anything else!
Leave it all to !
I’ll be there in a couple of days…
Since we want to be together, this is a step we inevitably have to go through.
Even if my mother hadn’t found you, after the New Year, I was thinking of finding an opportunity to take you to et my grandpa and my family…”
“Can I take so ti to think about it?
I know this is a step we need to go through, but it’s all so sudden…” Lin Xia understood that since his mother had already co to find her, it wouldn’t do to keep shying away.
Besides, Lu Zheng was a careful person in his affairs; he wouldn’t let her et those who opposed them.
Perhaps, his grandfather would be their ally.
