(Extra rewards for old patrons 2) 373: Chapter 372: Why Are You Blushing So Severely?
(Extra rewards for old patrons 2) Shao ifang fell silent after listening, and after a while, she spoke, “Sister, the situation has suddenly beco uncontrollable now…”
With things having turned out this way, it was no longer appropriate for her to offer any strategies.
For all she knew, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia were hating her right now!
The relationship between her sister and Lu Pengcheng was already quite frosty, and would this incident not push it to absolute zero?
Shao irou held her forehead; there were so things she couldn’t even discuss with her sister.
The stark contrast in Lu Pengcheng’s behavior this ti was definitely because of that woman.
Initially, being torn apart from him by their families was ultimately the biggest knot in his heart for his entire life.
Today, Lu Pengcheng’s various reactions, seen by her, made her understand; he must have rembered that woman again!
Lin Xia was just lucky.
That woman in his heart seed like a thorn, deeply embedded in both their hearts, tenderly aching with the slightest disturbance.
She sighed softly, “Now, we can only take it one step at a ti…”
The sisters lost their interest in idle chatter and quickly ended the call.
Upstairs, Lu Pengcheng hadn’t rested; he stood by the window, staring out at the scenery and sowhat lost in thought.
Originally, he had returned this ti mainly to talk over the phone with his son, also to see what the girl he liked was like before making a decision.
However, he hadn’t expected the incident of Shao irou and her sister going to the hotel to confront the girl.
At that mont, he had recalled her, the one who still appeared beautiful in his mories.
Back then, they were in love, but due to a disparity in social status, their families strongly opposed it.
Her situation was similar to, or even more severe than, Lin Xia’s; she misunderstood he had sothing with another woman but wasn’t given a chance to explain like Lin Xia.
Out of anger, she left her job and everything behind, moving far away with her widowed mother.
He had searched many places but had never been able to find her.
Latterly, he incidentally received information that she and her mother might have settled in Spring City.
He still rembered the weather with heavy snowfall when he ran through many places yet found no trace of her.
Later…
He chuckled bitterly, having lived most of his life, still unaware of where exactly she hid, whether she was living well, or if she ever thought of him occasionally…
Lu Zheng dropped Lin Xia off at the hotel to rest.
Afterward, he went ho and spoke for a long ti with Lu Pengcheng in the study, with the doors shut.
When father and son ca downstairs together, Shao irou watched and sensed that Lu Pengcheng seed in quite a bad mood.
Although they weren’t often together, she could still discern a bit from his small actions over the years.
She couldn’t help thinking inwardly, was it about so woman?
At that mont, Lu Pengcheng suggested, “Let’s go have dinner at your grandfather’s house tonight!”
Shao irou clenched her fingers.
It was not inappropriate for Lu Pengcheng to visit her father’s house upon his return.
But thinking about what she did the previous night, she truly felt uneasy, fearing what the consequences would be if the old man knew.
Lu Zheng pretended to be unaware of his mother’s reaction, “Good!
I’ll go pick up Lin Xia first, and then we’ll head directly to my grandfather’s!”
Lu Pengcheng, seeing Shao irou’s hesitation, spoke and then went upstairs to change his clothes.
Shao irou was left alone, restlessly distressed.
Lin Xia didn’t go to sleep after returning to the hotel; noticing the nice weather outside and considering she had co to the provincial city anyway, with the store needing restocking, she decided to take the opportunity to replenish the inventory while she had the ti.
After she finished and returned to the hotel, she bumped into a woman at the door.
The other person was a young woman who quickly apologized.
Lin Xia felt a bit of pain in her chest from the collision, but since it wasn’t intentional, she waved her hand, said it was okay, and was about to leave.
But the other person grasped her wrist tightly, speaking softly yet with considerable strength, “Are you all right?”
Lin Xia found the voice quite pleasant and sowhat familiar.
When she looked up, the woman also seed familiar.
Ye Lin was surprised; she had soone investigate and was certain this woman was Lu Zheng’s girlfriend.
She had intended for an accidental encounter to probe the other woman’s situation.
She thought the girl looked sowhat familiar, as though she had seen her sowhere before.
In her mind, she searched and finally rembered she had seen her on a train!
“You!”
“It’s you!”
Both recognized each other.
Ye Lin rembered seeing her sitting opposite her with a man who seed very kind to her.
Out of boredom, she had asked what their relationship was, whether they were a couple.
The woman had denied it.
Thinking of this, Ye Lin felt a tinge of resentnt.
“What a coincidence!
I’m sorry!
Did I hurt you when I bumped into you?”
“It’s fine!” Lin Xia didn’t have a good impression of this woman; she still rembered losing money on the train and didn’t want to make small talk with her.
Two people who had just shared a few hours on a train didn’t need to be overly friendly.
“Hey, girl, what’s the rush!
It appears we really are fated.
How about I treat you to a al as an apology!” Ye Lin clutched Lin Xia’s wrist firmly, not letting go.
Lin Xia stared at Ye Lin as if looking at a monster, wondering why this well-dressed woman, who she had heard ca from a good family background, was being so ingratiating?
There’s a saying: gratuitous favors usually spell trouble, and she was aware of this simple truth.
“No need!” Lin Xia pulled away her hand.
She was physically strong due to her usual work, and Ye Lin was no match for her.
Ye Lin awkwardly let go of her hand, “I really ant well!
I just thought we had a connection!
You’re not from around here, right?
I rember seeing you on the train with your friend last ti.”
“Sorry, I still have things to do!” Lin Xia didn’t want to continue talking.
Who knew if this woman was unhinged?
Ye Lin stood watching Lin Xia enter the hotel, biting her lower lip.
After all this ti, she was indeed Lu Zheng’s girlfriend, but she looked nothing special; how could she compare to her in beauty?
In terms of figure and looks, how could her cultivated deanor since childhood be matched by this country girl?
What was Lu Zheng thinking?
He had her, who ca from a good family and was attractive, but he insisted on chasing after this kind of woman.
Lin Xia returned to her room and unfastened her button to check, finding her skin slightly reddened and tender to the touch.
She was gently rubbing it when a knocking ca from the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s !” ca Lu Zheng’s voice.
Lin Xia quickly responded, “Wait a mont!”
With a flushed face, she fixed her tank top and refastened her button before opening the door.
After Lu Zheng entered, his eyes scanned her face like radar, “Why is your face so red?”
“It must be the wind outside!” Lin Xia touched her cheek and casually replied.
She certainly didn’t want to ntion bumping into a woman.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, “You went out?
Didn’t you say you were going to sleep?”
“I wasn’t feeling sleepy afterward, and I needed to replenish so stock at the store, so I had soone help send it off!” Lin Xia explained briefly.
Lu Zheng’s eyes darkened, “Let’s go to my grandfather’s house for dinner later!”
