Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 274 - 273: Who Are You Really With?

"Let’s get out of here!" Lin Xia felt it wasn’t appropriate to stay for too long.

Lu Zheng actually wanted to stay a bit longer, but seeing her shyness and unease, he agreed, "Okay!"

As they stood up, Lu Zheng naturally took Lin Xia’s hand and walked.

Lin Xia bowed her head with pursed lips and did not resist. Now that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, holding hands was quite normal.

She glanced at their clasped hands. His was large and warm, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.

The warmth on her face never subsided, but fortunately, it was too dark now to be noticeable.

Lu Zheng felt a bit bashful too, but as a man and normally not one to show his emotions, his feelings were not apparent.

If it weren’t for the cover of night, Lin Xia would have definitely noticed his adorably blushing ears.

By the time they left the park, there were plenty of pedestrians on the street.

Lin Xia gently pulled away, "Let’s not hold hands!" In this era, conservatism and modesty still prevailed, and even couples rarely walked hand in hand in front of others.

"Okay," Lu Zheng knew Lin Xia was thin-skinned, so he cooperated and let go of her hand.

All the way, Lu Zheng’s lips curled into a smile; Lin Xia had finally agreed to be with him!

Lin Xia’s face too was touched with a smile, thinking that perhaps this decision she made was the right one.

"Not caring about forever, but cherishing the fact that once it was hers was not bad at all."

When Lin Dong returned home, he didn’t go inside but started burning some grass outside the gate to ward off mosquitoes.

Seeing Lin Xia and him walking back side by side, Lin Dong chuckled, "You’re back!"

"You guys should go back to sleep!" Lin Xia urged them, partly wanting to inquire about what was going on with that person at Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang’s company, and partly because she had just agreed to Lu Zheng, she needed time to buffer and adjust herself.

Lu Zheng helped extinguish the fire and then took Lin Dong straight to Jiang Mingyuan’s house.

After locking the front door, Lin Xia entered the house to see Lin Qiu spreading out the bedding.

"Sister! You’re back!" Lin Qiu called out, but Lin Xia saw that her eyes were red; she had clearly been crying.

She sat down on the edge of the kang (traditional heated bed) and asked directly, "Xiaoqiu! What did you guys talk about? Why did you cry?"

Lin Qiu sat down beside Lin Xia, "Sister, I just feel wronged! It’s all because of him; our family is being troubled by others because of it!"

She felt a pang of guilt, unable to stop thinking that if it wasn’t for her relationship with Wu Zhengyang, they wouldn’t be in this mess.

Lin Xia stroked her hair to comfort her, "Silly girl! You can’t really blame Wu Zhengyang for this. It’s people’s right to pursue him, but it’s just mean to play dirty tricks behind the scenes.

However, you don’t need to worry; there won’t be any trouble. I’m already looking into it. We won’t let these scoundrels bully us. If necessary, we’ll just spend some money..."

She wasn’t concerned about the expense. They had made it through much harder times before, and this little bump in the road was nothing in comparison.

Just thinking about it made Lin Qiu angry, "How can I not blame him? I’ve only been dating him for a few days, right? Someone has already gotten wind of our situation, which must be from him talking at work!

Knowing that woman was interested in him and still he talked, wasn’t he deliberately causing us trouble?

And when I confronted him, he still wouldn’t admit it! It’s all his fault!"

Lin Xia couldn’t help but smile; her little sister Xiaoqiu was quite formidable!

"Alright! Xiaoqiu! It’s not necessarily because he spilled it. Don’t forget his brother-in-law works in the same company, right?"

Lin Xia thought Wu Zhengyang was a careful man, and he seemed to prioritize Lin Qiu even with knowledge of that woman’s interest in him; it didn’t seem like something he would do.

However, she couldn’t be one hundred percent sure since there were so many people in the company. If someone with a good relationship with him asked about his girlfriend and he answered, that would also be normal.

"That’s true!" Lin Qiu’s expression eased a bit, and she felt in the mood to ask Lin Xia, "Sis! Where did you and Brother Lu go? Dongzi said you both watched a movie together, and then he ran back here by himself!"

Lin Xia looked down at her hands, "We spent some time in the park!"

Lin Qiu sensed something was up, "Sis! You two..."

Lin Xia looked up at her, with a candid smile, "I agreed to give it a try and see how things go with him!"

Lin Qiu exclaimed, "Sis! That’s fantastic! You finally came to your senses! We’re going to have a brother-in-law soon!"

Hearing this joyous event, Lin Qiu’s mood instantly cleared of the previous gloominess.

"Yeah!" Lin Xia nodded slightly shyly, "I also want to be brave, even if it doesn’t work out at least I won’t have regrets!"

She originally planned not to date anyone, just to make sure her younger siblings and older brother were all settled before traveling the world freely and carefree by herself.

Now Lu Zheng had appeared in her life, an unforeseen variable.

If things didn’t work out with Lu Zheng in the end, at least she would’ve had some precious memories, and could say that she had experienced love in her lifetime.

Lin Qiu grinned, "Sis! Don’t worry, you and Brother Lu, no, brother-in-law are definitely going to make it!"

As far as she was concerned, her sister and Brother Lu were already looking like a married couple.

In her family, as long as her sister agreed, there would be no objection; the only concern might be Brother Lu’s family who might not agree, but given Brother Lu’s character, he wouldn’t compromise with his family either.

So, what could possibly prevent these two from ending up together? free𝑤ebnovel.com

Lin Xia teased her, "Lin Qiu, whose side are you on? You’re so quick to start calling him brother-in-law?"

It seemed Lu Zheng had won the approval of her younger siblings.

Now, they all stood firmly on his side!

Lin Qiu hugged Lin Xia’s shoulder, "Sis! Of course, I’m on your side! Is it okay if I don’t call him that for now?"

Lin Xia flicked her sister’s forehead, laughing and scolding, "Go ahead and get the bed ready for sleep!"

"Alrighty!" Lin Qiu rubbed her forehead, joyfully getting up to finish her chores.

Lin Xia then went out to wash up, imagining Lu Zheng’s face, wondering if he was also talking to Lin Dong about them being together.

Would that little rascal, Lin Dong, react the same way Lin Qiu did?

Lin Xia guessed correctly; when Lin Dong heard from his admired and revered Big Brother Lu that his sister had agreed to date, the kid literally jumped for joy.

"Big Brother Lu! Then, you’re going to be my brother-in-law!"

"Yes! But, Dongzi, let’s not call me brother-in-law in front of your sister for now, she might not like it!"

Lu Zheng knew Lin Xia well; she was rather reserved and easily embarrassed. Having just agreed to date and being called brother-in-law right away might upset her.

"No problem! Future brother-in-law, shouldn’t you properly thank me, your little uncle-to-be?"

Lin Dong felt that he played a role in bringing them together.

If it weren’t for his early departure, they might not have had the chance to discuss this.

"Of course! What would you like as a thank you? Just name it!"

Lu Zheng was quite grateful to Lin Dong for his understanding; without him, things between him and Lin Xia might still be at a standstill.

Lin Dong suddenly became serious, "I have only one request: you must always treat my sister well your whole life! Otherwise, even if I can’t defeat you, I’ll still stand up for my sister!"

Lu Zheng solemnly placed his hand on Lin Dong’s shoulder, promising, "I will!"
