Chapter 793: Chapter 792: Not Suitable!
Lin Xia returned ho and noticed that her mother-in-law was acting strangely towards her, exhibiting so unusual behavior.
She had a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship with Shao irou, and she never hesitated to speak her mind.
“Mom! What’s wrong? You seem unhappy!”
Shao irou stared into Lin Xia’s eyes, trying to discern if there was any guilt.
But in Lin Xia’s eyes, she saw no trace of guilt or evasion, only concern and bewildernt.
Shao irou had been Lin Xia’s mother-in-law for more than just a day or two, and she knew the girl quite well.
“Lin Xia! Let’s go to your room and talk!” She wanted to have a heart-to-heart chat with Lin Xia alone.
“Okay!” Having reached the point of a private conversation, Lin Xia sensed this was no small matter.
Shao Chengzhi and Lu Pengcheng also felt the tension between them, but the two n didn’t think much of it and assud Shao irou was unhappy with sothing Lin Xia had done.
Once in the room, Shao irou asked directly, “Lin Xia! Tell ! Are your uncle and Liang Wei dating?”
“No! Who told you that?” Lin Xia felt the two were just friends at this point.
Shao irou’s gaze shifted, “Never mind who told ! I just want the truth from you—Is it happening or not?”
“No! It really isn’t!” Lin Xia imdiately guessed soone, “Mom! Was it Ji Man who told you?”
Apart from Ji Man, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would bring this up with Shao irou.
Shao irou didn’t deny it. “Yes! I ran into her near our house, and she told !”
Ji Man had actually found her way here!
Lin Xia’s tone beca urgent, “Mom! Please don’t listen to her nonsense; my uncle and Liang Wei are really not in a relationship!
I don’t know when Ji Man ca to the provincial city. I found out when Xiaozheng and I went for a massage that she was staying near a sister’s house from our factory.
She also went to that sister’s house to ask about our factory, who knows what mischief she’s plotting behind our backs!”
Shao irou still trusted her own judgnt. Regardless of Ji Man’s bad intentions, she must have seen or heard sothing to co and complain with such conviction.
Her voice heavy with disappointnt, she said, “Lin Xia! Why can’t you tell the truth? Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship had its conflicts back when you were dating, but ever since you got married, things have been good.
I only have Xiaozheng as a son, and I have truly treated you like my own daughter.
I thought you’d be closer to , that you’d at least let know about such things, but it seems I was mistaken.”
Shao irou felt a chill in her heart, admitting to herself she wasn’t a perfect mother-in-law, but she really had treated Lin Xia wholeheartedly.
“Mom! Please don’t say that! I’m telling the truth, my uncle expressed his feelings to Liang Wei, but she hasn’t accepted!” Seeing Shao irou like this, Lin Xia felt particularly distressed; she didn’t intend to hide it from her mother-in-law, but since her uncle and Liang Wei’s relationship was not clear, she had no way to speak up.
Shao irou’s expression softened sowhat, believing what Lin Xia was saying now.
“She hasn’t accepted?! You child! Why didn’t you tell ?”
“My uncle said to keep it quiet for now, to wait until Liang Wei agrees before saying anything!” Lin Xia took Shao irou’s hand and apologized, “Mom! I’m sorry! I really didn’t an to hide it from you!”
Shao irou felt her heart suddenly lighten; she knew her brother extrely well.
It wasn’t just Lin Xia; even her brothers and sisters yielded to him sowhat.
She patted the back of Lin Xia’s hand, “Alright! I accept your apology! In fact, you can’t be blad for this; it’s hard being stuck in the middle!
However, I want to tell you, if there’s anything like this again in the future, just let know in secret; I won’t let your uncle find out it was you who told !”
Lin Xia raised a hand in pledge, “Okay! I promise to be a good spy!”
Shao irou smiled gently and affectionately placed a hand on Lin Xia’s shoulder. “You child! Don’t tell your grandfather about it just yet!”
Lin Xia hurriedly agreed, “Okay! Mom! I’ll listen to you!”
Shao irou felt she had a grip on things and was no longer as frantic as before.
If Liang Wei still hadn’t agreed, would it still be necessary for her and her sister to go find Liang Wei?
The next day, as soon as Lin Xia arrived at the factory, she imdiately called Shao Xingbang and told him about Ji Man snitching and how Shao irou already knew about the affair between them.
Shao Xingbang said he would co back as quickly as possible to deal with it.
However, Shao irou and Shao ifang, the sisters, were even faster than they had anticipated.
In the afternoon, Liang Wei took a leave of absence from the factory for a while to attend a parent-teacher eting for Cheng Wenfeng.
The child’s learning had improved by leaps and bounds this sester, and even the teacher’s attitude changed during the eting.
She was in a good mood, and her steps were even more sprightly, eager to share the good news with Lin Xia.
However, on her way, her path was cut off by a car.
Shao irou rolled down the window from the passenger’s seat and called out to her, “Liang Wei!”
Shao ifang was driving and Liang Wei had t her at Lin Xia’s child’s first birthday party.
Liang Wei’s expression changed slightly, and her heart started to drum.
She quickly responded with a smile, “Auntie! Little Auntie!”
Shao irou said with a faint smile, “Yes! Get in the car. We have sothing we want to talk to you about!”
“Okay!” Liang Wei couldn’t refuse and did as she was told, taking a seat in the back of the car.
Shao ifang turned her body to look back, a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said, “Liang Wei! We wanted to talk to you, not for any other reason, but to say that you and our brother are not suitable for each other! Do you think you’re suitable for each other?”
Shao irou nudged Shao ifang with her elbow, signaling her to speak more gently.
She had been hesitant before; if Liang Wei had not agreed, did they still need to co to her?
But Shao ifang was adamant, her exact words being to nip any possibilities in the bud.
Liang Wei forced a smile, “Not suitable! That’s why I didn’t agree!”
Shao ifang continued, “That’s good! Liang Wei! It seems you’re a good woman, and we won’t say anything over the top!
Xiaozheng has been kind to you and your child over the years, hasn’t he?
Provided money and things, and imdiately took you and your child to transfer schools when you wanted!
In such matters, an average person can only endure for so long, but who can sustain it over ti?”
Liang Wei’s head hung low as she spoke resolutely, “I understand! Auntie! There’s no need to say more! I know what to do! Rest assured! I definitely won’t have any more contact with him!”
Seeing her like this, Shao irou felt a bit remorseful inside, “Liang Wei, don’t bla our family. You’re a mother too. For example, if your son did sothing like this in the future, wouldn’t you find it hard to agree?”
“Yes! I understand! I won’t bla you! Auntie! Little Auntie! I should get off here! There’s a lot to do at the factory!” Liang Wei dared not look up at them, fearing they would see the tears in her eyes.
Shao irou quickly offered, “Shall we give you a ride back?”
Liang Wei opened the car door, “Thank you! No need! It wouldn’t be good to be seen!”
Seeing her reaction, Shao irou and Shao ifang didn’t insist any further.
