360: Chapter 359: You Definitely Wouldn’t Expect It 360: Chapter 359: You Definitely Wouldn’t Expect It When Shao Chengzhi saw the girl following Lu Zheng into the room, his eyes lit up.
Although the girl was not tall, standing next to his grandson made her look petite, but her skin was very fair, her features were delicate and elegant, and her black hair was all pinned up behind her head, giving her a neat and capable appearance.
What surprised him most were her eyes.
Despite being in her twenties, they were still clear and distinct, as pure as a spring.
Lin Xia was also observing Shao Chengzhi.
He was tall, and his wrinkled face faintly showed the handso features of his youth.
She couldn’t quite say why, but all the previous nervousness and insecurity vanished upon entering the door and seeing the elderly man sitting there.
What remained was an inexplicable feeling of intimacy, as if the two had t before.
Lu Zheng made the introductions, “Grandpa!
This is Lin Xia!
Lin Xia, call him Grandpa!”
Lin Xia looked at Lu Zheng with surprise.
She felt that, after all, it was their first eting, was it appropriate to call him Grandpa right away?
But she was signaled by the look in Lu Zheng’s eyes and promptly greeted him politely.
“Grandpa!
Hello!”
“Good!
Good!” Shao Chengzhi smiled and nodded.
He waved to Lin Xia, “Lin Xia!
Co, have a seat!” Then he had soone serve tea.
Lu Zheng took out the wild ginseng and deer antler Lin Xia had specifically bought for the old man.
“Grandpa!
These are special products Xiaoxia brought especially for you!”
While Shao Chengzhi had seen all sorts of things, he still felt a warmth in his heart, “You girl, why did you buy these?
Don’t spend money next ti, this old man lacks nothing!”
“Grandpa!
It’s the thought that counts!” Lin Xia couldn’t co empty-handed on her first visit, so she had prepared these gifts after so consideration.
“Good!
You must be tired from the journey!
Was the car crowded?” Shao Chengzhi asked casually, as if making small talk.
“Not tiring!
The car wasn’t too crowded!”
Shao Xingbang sat down assertively on the side.
He wanted to eavesdrop.
But no sooner had his buttocks touched the sofa, Shao Chengzhi gave him a stern look, “Aren’t you busy?”
Shao Xingbang imdiately understood his father’s aning, “It’s okay!
Xiaozheng’s girlfriend is here, and as her uncle, I should keep her company, right?”
“Go busy yourself!
Co back for lunch together!” Shao Chengzhi flatly refused him.
Even if Shao Xingbang wanted to stay, it wouldn’t be possible.
He knew his father’s temper all too well.
But with his departure, he knew he’d miss whatever drama would unfold once his older sister arrived, and he’d only hear about it through others.
“Young lady!
You sit and chat with my dad for a while, I have so things to take care of, I’ll co back later to have a good talk!”
Lin Xia stood up and smiled, “Okay!
Take care, little uncle!”
“Good!” Shao Xingbang waved happily at her while giving Lu Zheng a aningful look.
After Shao Xingbang left, Shao Chengzhi looked at Lin Xia with a gentle smile, appearing very kind and amiable, “Young lady, who else do you have in your family?”
If anyone familiar with him were present, they would certainly be shocked.
Since when was he so easy to talk to?
Lin Xia knew it was ti for the background check, so she spoke candidly about her family situation.
“My mother passed away so years ago due to illness, my father remarried, and there are four siblings in my family, I’m the second oldest…”
Although Shao Chengzhi had heard so details about Lin Xia’s family from his grandson, listening to her personally narrate it, he truly felt the girl’s capability.
His fondness for her grew a bit deeper in his heart.
Lin Xia did not conceal anything.
She spoke frankly about her situation.
She felt that anything that needed to be known could easily be discovered later, so it was better to be upfront from the start.
If the other party feels that her family is too inferior, it’s not a big deal.
It’s better than finding out later and being unable to adapt.
Shao Xingbang left here and went straight to his second sister Shao ifang’s workplace.
Shao ifang, who had just finished her work, looked at her brother who had just entered and asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Shao Xingbang smiled mysteriously, “I’m here for a reason, of course!”
“Don’t tell you’re asking to set you up with soone again?
Let tell you, there is no one suitable for you in our hospital,” Shao ifang teased him half-seriously.
Shao Xingbang sat directly in the chair across from her, “Sister, what are you talking about?
I ca to tell you sothing you would never expect!”
“What is it?” Shao ifang’s interest was piqued.
“Xiaozheng brought his girlfriend ho, and I went to pick them up!”
“Really?” Shao ifang stood up in surprise, “Sister didn’t ntion it!”
“Probably kept in the dark!
Our old man is quite satisfied!”
Without caring about anything else, Shao ifang imdiately picked up the phone on her desk to call Shao irou.
Lu Zheng bringing a girlfriend ho was a big deal; how could she not tell her about it.
However, it was her housekeeper Xiaofeng who answered the call, saying that she had gone to the old man’s place.
As it turned out, Shao irou had received a call from Shao Chengzhi at ho, asking her to co to the house because her son Lu Zheng had returned.
As for her son’s return without coming straight ho and instead going to the old man’s place, she didn’t feel there was anything wrong with that.
By the ti Shao irou arrived, she saw Lin Xia and Lu Zheng sitting in the living room, chatting with the old man, who was smiling.
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng had agreed not to ntion that they both knew Shao irou.
But when Shao irou saw Lin Xia appear in her ho, she was so surprised she couldn’t believe it and at the sa ti glared at Lu Zheng.
This damn kid made his move before informing anyone, never giving away a hint before.
She wondered why he had suddenly returned, and it turned out he wanted to bring his girlfriend ho.
However, she still maintained her composure.
Despite having many criticisms about Lin Xia, she couldn’t do anything that would make her guest uncomfortable.
Shao Chengzhi introduced them, “irou!
This is Xiaozheng’s girlfriend Lin Xia!”
“Auntie, nice to et you!” Lin Xia stood up to greet Shao irou politely as soon as she arrived.
The two had an understanding, and neither brought up their previous encounter in Spring City.
“Please have a seat!” Shao irou sat on another sofa, “Just arrived?”
Lin Xia took a seat according to the suggestion, “Yes!”
“You must be tired!
How about this?
Co to our house and rest properly,” Shao irou said, wanting to take her away from there since there were so conversations that weren’t suitable to have in the presence of the old man.
Shao Chengzhi wouldn’t let them leave, “What’s the rush?
Let’s have a al before leaving!
I’ve already had soone prepare everything.
Xingbang and ifang will co over for lunch too!”
Shao irou’s eyes flickered; her father seed to be completely on the side of Lu Zheng and Lin Xia.
With the old man having spoken thus, she had no choice but to nod in acquiescence.
All she could do was smile politely and make a welcoming gesture, “Have so tea!”
“Thank you!” Lin Xia picked up the white porcelain tea bowl, sipped gently, then placed it back on the coffee table.
She could distinctly feel the scrutiny from Lu Zheng’s mother.
Shao irou observed Lin Xia’s every move and had to admit that the girl indeed looked attractive and her deanor was far from vulgar.
