464: Chapter 463: Hurry Up and Get Married 464: Chapter 463: Hurry Up and Get Married Lin Aijia was aware that Lin Xia and company were no longer what they used to be.
The other day, Yu Hongli brought so hawthorns over to Lin Qiu’s place and just happened to be there when her grandparents’ family ca looking, so now she knew the details even better than Lin Aiguo did.
That’s why she treated Lin Xia with more flattery than before, and even her tone of voice beca involuntarily gentler.
“Lin Xia!
I had already co over the day before yesterday, but I heard you went to your grandparents’ house, so I left.
Here I am today, thinking of checking if you’ve returned!
Auntie has sothing to discuss with you!”
As she spoke, she also glanced towards Jiang Mingyuan, who was opening the car door, recognizing that this young man was a friend of Lin Xia’s.
“We just got back this morning too!
Let’s talk inside then,” said Lin Xia, who glanced at Wu Zhenghong coming out from the nearby hair salon, took back her gaze, and promptly used her keys to open the door.
Having opened the door, Wu Zhenghong had already heard from Wang Lan about Lin Qiu not returning with the rest of them.
She always felt a bit guilty towards Lin Xia and her family.
But with their relationship at a freezing point, whatever she wanted to say to Lin Xia to ease the tension, she supposed Lin Xia wouldn’t treat her the sa as before.
Wu Zhenghong reentered her store with a disheartened look.
Lin Xia had just finished storing the goods in the Western House with Jiang Mingyuan when the red telephone on the living room coffee table suddenly started ringing.
Lin Aijia was sitting on the sofa and reached out to answer it, but imdiately thought better of it, realizing it wasn’t appropriate for her to answer Lin Xia’s ho phone, and therefore withdrew her hand.
Lin Xia hurried over to answer the call.
When she heard Lu Zheng’s voice on the other end, she knew sothing was wrong.
She had ant to call him that morning, but she thought it was too early, and then she got preoccupied and forgot to call him, heading to Jiang Mingyuan’s place instead.
Lin Xia, noticing two pairs of eyes from her family fixed on her, had no ti for anything else and quickly explained to Lu Zheng, “Lu Zheng!
We arrived really early in the morning, and I was worried you would be busy, so I didn’t call you straight away!”
Qin Zeming had been notified the second day after their arrival, and she even ntioned his elentary school classmate, Qin Feiyang.
Lu Zheng had a vivid mory of Qin Feiyang as a mischievous kid.
After he transferred schools, there was no news from him, and Lu Zheng had no idea he would turn out to be Lin Xia’s cousin!
Before coming back from Ji Province, she also told him she would be arriving that morning and they had a pleasant chat on the phone, agreeing to call and check in, but she had completely forgotten about it.
Lu Zheng’s deep and llow voice carried a hint of helplessness, “Xiaoxia!
Do you know how many tis I’ve tried to call you?”
Her ho phone was always going unanswered, and he guessed that she might have made it ho safely but forgot to call him to let him know.
He understood that nothing bad should have happened with Lin Dong accompanying her, but he still couldn’t help calling over and over again, as if only hearing soone answer would settle his heart.
“I went out and just got back!” Lin Xia said quickly, “My aunt and the others ca over, I’ll call you later in the evening!”
There were so things she didn’t feel comfortable saying in front of others.
Moreover, Jiang Mingyuan had just washed his hands in the kitchen and was about to leave; she felt obliged to see him out.
Lu Zheng said simply on the other end, “Okay!
I’ll be waiting for your call!”
Seeing Lin Xia hang up the phone, Jiang Mingyuan chuckled, “Lu Zheng is getting anxious, isn’t he?”
“Yes!” Lin Xia scratched her cheek, embarrassed, “I’ve been so preoccupied that I completely forgot!”
Jiang Mingyuan’s eyes twinkled with a sense of realization, remarking offhandedly, “You’re really preoccupied these days!
Alright!
I’m heading back to the shop!” He nodded towards Lin Aijia, then walked out.
As he left briskly, his eyes flickered with complexity.
Originally, Lu Zheng’s family was no longer against their relationship.
Now, with Lin Xia and Lu Zheng well-matched in social status, it seed the celebratory drink at the end of the year was certain for him!
Perhaps, it was truly ti for him to let go.
Lin Xia trotted after him, calling out, “Second Brother!
Slow down!
Let walk you out!
Why are you in such a hurry?”
Jiang Mingyuan stopped, turned back, and looked at her with a smile, “Lin Xia!
I’m not a guest, there’s no need for you to see out!
You should go back and see what your aunt wants!”
Lin Xia felt that Jiang Mingyuan was acting strangely; under the sunlight, his smile was slight, but his eyes held an indefinable sothing.
She asked with concern, “Second Brother!
Are you all right?”
“What could possibly be wrong with !
Listen to and go back!”
Lin Xia insisted on seeing him to the main gate and watched him drive away before turning back to enter the yard.
Lin Aijia first inquired with good faith about the affairs of Lin Xia’s maternal grandfather’s family and then explained her reason for coming.
“Lin Xia, I’m here to ask you to talk to Luo Yue’s mother for .
You see, your Brother Hongli and Luo Yue are getting along pretty well.”
If they were younger, I wouldn’t be in such a hurry.
The crux of the matter is that they’re both not young anymore, and Luo Yue is so much older than your Brother Hongli!
So, if both think they’re right for each other, we should hurry up and get them married, then quickly have a child!
If we wait any longer, their age will beco even more of an issue…”
The words she left unsaid were that Luo Yue was already in her thirties; it was urgent for her to get married.
If the first child was a girl, they should have another one as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the two of them date for a year or two, the older they get, the less feasible it would beco.
Lin Xia could understand Lin Aijia’s feelings; after all, her son was grown up and she was anxious to have grandchildren.
Originally, Yu Hongli had been going on arranged dates without success, and now that he had finally found soone, and Luo Yue’s external conditions and job looked quite good, she, as the mother-in-law, would naturally be in a hurry.
She thought that Luo Xinyan, as the mother-in-law-to-be, would probably be in a hurry, too.
So Lin Xia quickly agreed, “Okay!
I’ll find a ti to ask her!”
Lin Aijia grabbed Lin Xia’s hand happily, “Good!
Lin Xia!
Your Brother Hongli and I must really thank you!
Without your introduction, could he have found such a beautiful wife!”
From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Lin Xia had done a great thing.
Otherwise, with Yu Hongli’s own efforts, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to find such a good girl.
Lin Xia, facing Lin Aijia’s extre enthusiasm, felt very unaccustod and withdrew her hand.
She thought, if her aunt one day learned about Luo Yue’s background, would she still be so grateful?
Would she bla her then?
But there was no point worrying about that now!
“No need to thank !
I didn’t do much!” she said calmly, changing the subject, “Aunt!
Where is Brother Hongli planning to have his wedding?”
Lin Aijia spoke as if it were obvious, “At our place, of course!
We’ll tidy up the Western House as the bridal chamber, build a big wardrobe and a kang cabinet, and let Lin Fang move in with us in the Eastern House when the ti cos!”
Afterward, Lin Xia didn’t say much more; after all, these were things they would have to discuss on their own in the future.
Lin Aijia had co in a rush and left in a hurry as well.
Lin Xia offered her lunch but she didn’t stay, saying she had to go ho to wait for a letter and then left directly.
After she left, Lin Xia hurriedly picked up the phone to call Lu Zheng.
