419: Chapter 418 Thank You for Not Blaming 419: Chapter 418 Thank You for Not Blaming Lin Xia returned from outside and had just propped up her bike at the entrance of the clothing store when she saw Lu Zheng walking out of it.
Lu Zheng’s tall and upright figure was strikingly handso, exuding a dazzling charm.
His sudden arrival caught Lin Xia off guard; she had thought it would be a while before he showed up.
Lin Xia suppressed the myriad of emotions rising in her heart and pretended to be nonchalant as she asked, “When did you get here?”
These past few days, she had wondered whether Lu Zheng had returned yet.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually made it to her house all of a sudden.
Seeing him thinner and darker, she felt a pang of heartache.
But thinking about what had happened, she couldn’t show warmth or happiness.
“I arrived a while ago!” Lu Zheng smiled as he looked at Lin Xia, who seed not to have changed much, and he felt relieved to see her looking well.
“Oh!
Let’s go inside then!” Lin Xia knew that if they chatted here, the neighbors across the street would prick up their ears and watch eagerly for any drama.
“Okay!” Lu Zheng followed behind Lin Xia, intently gazing at her graceful figure.
Lin Xia deliberately ignored his intense gaze, trying to act naturally.
She spoke a few words to Lin Qiu and led Lu Zheng through the back door of the clothing store into the courtyard.
Lin Qiu watched the swaying door curtain of the back door and sighed deeply.
The Lu family was of high status; just by seeing how his mother and grandmother dressed when they visited, one could tell they were from a completely different class than her own family.
When Big Brother Lu initially pursued her sister, her sister kept hesitating and was scared to take the step forward, but she had strongly supported her sister’s relationship with Big Brother Lu and had tried persuading her with all her might.
Now, reflecting back, she couldn’t help but think about whether she was too naïve and had oversimplified things.
Can happiness really be achieved when there is such a mismatch in social standing?
Thankfully, the old lady was fine this ti, but what if she had actually died in their house?
How would they have handled the situation?
In the back room, Lin Xia asked Lu Zheng to sit while she went to the kitchen to wash her hands.
Lu Zheng obediently sat on the couch, looking in the direction of the kitchen while he organized his thoughts.
He had so much he wanted to say to Lin Xia, but he didn’t know where to start.
On the surface, Lin Xia calmly washed her hands, but inside, she was nervous.
She speculated that Lu Zheng must have known everything by now.
Was he here to condemn her, or perhaps to bla and complain about her?
It was all still unknown!
After washing her hands, Lin Xia casually poured two glasses of water and brought them to the living room.
“Here’s so water!”
“Okay!
Thank you!” Lu Zheng took the cup and drank most of it.
Lin Xia pursed her lips and sat on the couch, keeping so distance from him, “Where did you co from?”
Lu Zheng put down the cup, “I ca from the provincial city!”
“Your grandmother is okay, right?”
Actually, Lin Xia had already learned from Mingyuan that the old lady had been hospitalized as soon as she returned ho; it was Lu Qing who had told Mingyuan.
“No worries!
She just needs so rest because of her age!” Lu Zheng moved closer to Lin Xia, wanting to be nearer to her, “Xiaoxia!
I know everything!
You’ve been wronged!”
On his way here, he had thought a lot about his relationship with Lin Xia and his family.
He was filled with guilt and sympathy for Lin Xia, for she had been wronged not just this ti because of him.
And as her boyfriend, what had he done for her since they had been together?
He was truly incompetent!
But if it was for her happiness to let him go, to let her go, he truly couldn’t do it.
Lin Xia very much wanted to say it was nothing, but the words wouldn’t co out as her heart felt dull.
This ti when Lu Zheng’s grandmother ca, it greatly impacted her; she couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened.
“Lu Zheng!
Then you don’t bla ?
Your family must have told you, your grandmother was hospitalized because of !”
Seeing that Lu Zheng didn’t bring it up, she took the initiative to ntion it.
Since this matter would have to be brought up sooner or later, it was better to talk about it sooner and get it over with.
Lu Zheng shook his head, “I don’t bla you!
My grandmother’s health wasn’t good to begin with.
She must have beco ill from the exhaustion of the journey!
Even if you said sothing, it doesn’t matter; she’s an old lady and very stubborn!
She always thinks whatever she says and does is right!”
Lin Xia looked into Lu Zheng’s eyes; she wanted to confirm whether his words were sincere or just comforting lies.
In his deep eyes, she saw affection, guilt, and pity.
Actually, Lin Xia had imagined how Lu Zheng would react if he knew, and seeing him like this did move her, but there were so things she still needed to honestly express.
“Lu Zheng, thank you for not blaming !
I was actually a bit worried that you would bla , after all, this matter would make anyone feel uncomfortable!
It’s only human nature!”
A girlfriend can be found again, but there’s only one grandmother!
“Xiaoxia…” Lu Zheng tried to speak but was interrupted by Lin Xia’s gesture.
“Lu Zheng!
Listen to first!
When your grandmother ca to find , she first tried to entice , then threatened using my elder brother’s job at your company!
She badmouthed as a small vendor, and even said if I cared about you I should leave you, so you wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of others in the future!
I indeed did say so unpleasant words afterward, so I ended up angering the old lady…
For this matter, I have also apologized to your grandmother…”
Lu Zheng felt even worse; he knew better than anyone how important Lin Chun was to Lin Xia.
His grandmother using that to threaten her was really too much!
“Xiaoxia!
I’m sorry for putting you through this!
It’s not your fault!
And don’t worry!
No one will dare to touch your elder brother!”
Lin Xia nodded, “Okay!
Lu Zheng!
My brother will be back in a few months.
I don’t want anything else, just for him to return safely!”
By then, she and her siblings could reunite.
“Definitely!” Lu Zheng’s expression was solemn; he always felt that Lin Xia’s reaction since eting him was off.
Lin Xia said seriously, “Lu Zheng!
There’s sothing I want to discuss.”
Lu Zheng, observing her evasive eyes, felt an ominous premonition rising inside him.
“Let’s talk about sothing else!
How about that Nurse Luo?
How did you co to know her?”
“I t her when my dad was hospitalized a while ago!”
“Your dad was hospitalized?
What happened?”
“It’s nothing!
He just got into a fight!” Lin Xia didn’t want to elaborate further; she wanted to discuss their issue, “Lu Zheng!
You must have guessed what I’m about to say!
Thinking about it, we really aren’t quite suitable…
It’s not that I’m scared, but I’ve thought about it seriously!
You see, there’s a big gap between our families; your family indeed has high standards, and coming from an ordinary family like mine seems like reaching too high.
Plus, you’re away, and here I am at ho.
We barely see each other even once a year.
I want to be able to look after all my siblings, and as you said about getting married and moving there, I probably can’t do it!”
