Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 275 - 274: His Brother-in-Law is Awesome!

After Wu Zhengyang had taken Lin Qiu home, he didn’t go back to his own home but instead took his bike to Liang Cheng’s house.

Wu Zhenghong had just put her son to sleep and was surprised to see her brother come home so late. She thought something must have happened.

They lived with their mother-in-law in a house divided into the Eastern House and Western House, with the kitchen in between. Wu Zhengyang’s arrival naturally brought him into their Western House.

"What’s up?" Wu Zhenghong handed him a glass of water.

Liang Cheng, not very tall and lean, had already taken off his clothes to go to bed. Now sitting shirtless with just his shorts on by the edge of the kang, he asked, "Yeah, why are you here so late?"

Wu Zhengyang took a sip before speaking, "Brother-in-law, did you tell anyone at work about my girlfriend setting up a clothing store near our house?"

Liang Cheng rubbed his face, "I haven’t really told anyone, just casually mentioned it the other day when Xiaoguo, Xiaoliu, and I were chatting! Everyone knew you were set up on a blind date and had a girlfriend, then they asked me what she does for a living..."

Wu Zhengyang gripped his glass tightly—this was exactly as he had guessed.

Noticing her brother’s troubled expression, Wu Zhenghong asked, "What’s really going on?"

Wu Zhengyang didn’t hide the truth, "Lin Qiu’s clothing store has been troubled by the Business Regulatory Office. Her sister found out through connections that someone from our factory asked their uncle to make it happen!"

Liang Cheng was shocked, "That happened? Who’s uncle works in the Business Regulatory Office?"

He had just mentioned it in passing; he could never have imagined it would lead to this.

"Miao Xue!" Wu Zhengyang said coldly, "She used to boast about having a relative who was an official in the Business Regulatory Office!" That’s how he had immediately thought of her!

Wu Zhenghong slapped her thigh, "No wonder! The day the Business Regulatory Office targeted Lin Xia’s store specifically, we all guessed that they were going after their family!

So it started from here! Is that Miao surname the one who has been chasing after you?"

She had also discussed this with Wang Lan from across the street, speculating that maybe Lin Xia’s business was doing well and someone was envious, scheming behind her back.

She had never thought it was related to her own family!

"It’s her!"

Wu Zhenghong, frustrated and irritated, exclaimed, "This woman is just too malicious!" She slapped Liang Cheng on the shoulder angrily, "Look at that blabbermouth of yours, spouting nonsense! Look what you’ve caused!" Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?

Liang Cheng, a bit embarrassed, replied, "I didn’t mean to! Who could have known Miao Xue would be so..." Truly, a woman’s scorn is the deadliest.

"Alright! Brother-in-law, I came to clarify what happened. It’s best not to discuss these matters at work in the future!"

Wu Zhenghong and her husband walked Wu Zhengyang to the gate together.

Wu Zhenghong, worried that this issue might cause further misunderstandings between her brother and Lin Qiu, advised, "If Lin Qiu gets upset over this, try to console her. After all, this problem originated from us!"

"Don’t worry, big sis! I’m heading home now!" Wu Zhengyang rode off on his bike.

Wu Zhenghong, still feeling upset, slapped Liang Cheng several times more, "Look what you’ve done!"

"Wife! I was wrong! How could I have known it would turn out like this?" he said, trying to placate her with a smile.

Early the next morning, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu got up to start cooking breakfast.

Lu Zheng and Lin Dong each returned home, a white towel draped over their necks.

Lin Xia was brushing her teeth in the yard, carelessly tying up her hair without having washed her face.

She hadn’t expected them to come back so early today; fortunately, she had already changed her clothes, or it would have been really embarrassing.

Holding back her embarrassment, she hurriedly rinsed her mouth and asked, "Where did you guys go?"

Lin Xia looked at Lin Dong, his face red and flushed with sweat, while Lu Zheng’s expression showed no change.

"Big sister! Lu and I went for a run!" Lin Dong said cheerfully and then went inside to drink some water.

Lu Zheng felt happy the moment he saw Lin Xia and stood next to her, smiling, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Lin Xia’s appearance made it obvious she had just woken up not long ago, her fair little face still carried the daze of a recent awakening.

Her hair, although casually tied up, made her seem more demure than usual, one could say she was radiating charm at that moment.

If Lin Xia knew what he was thinking about her at that moment, she would definitely feel the urge to crack his head open to see what was inside.

When she felt her appearance was shabby and disheveled, he actually found it attractive—the differences between men and women really were huge.

Lin Xia felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze, especially when he was wearing a tank top, his sturdy arms gleaming in the morning sun; she quickly looked away, "Yeah! What’s not good about it!"

She had chatted with her sister for a while and felt sleepy, but she didn’t actually fall asleep until midnight.

"I didn’t sleep well!" Lu Zheng stood next to her and said, "Only fell asleep after midnight!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Oh!" Lin Xia quickly rinsed her toothbrush, "Then you should catch up on sleep during the day at home!"

That way she wouldn’t have to deal with him acting like a big, hot furnace all the time.

Lu Zheng spoke out immediately, "How can that be! I want to be with my partner!"

Partner!!!

"What?" Lin Xia’s face instantly turned red, this man, really.

He seemed to be getting used to their relationship way too quickly!

Lu Zheng enjoyed seeing her blush like that, and deliberately continued to tease her, "Could it be that you agreeing to something yesterday was just a dream of mine?"

"I’m ignoring you!" Lin Xia turned and walked away; she needed to cool down properly.

She didn’t know what was going on with herself; logically, her psychological age was already over thirty, but in front of Lu Zheng, he just had that talent to flirt and tease, making her blush and her heart race!

Behind her came Lu Zheng’s muffled laughter, "Xiaxia! Wait for me!"

Lin Xia nearly staggered!

He was calling her that intimately!

He really dared!

In her two lifetimes, no one had ever called her Xiaxia!

Only her big brother called her Xiaoxia!

Seeing Lin Xia’s reaction, he laughed even more joyfully; it seemed like the first time in his life he had ever laughed so heartily.

Actually, he had come up with several nicknames for Lin Xia, but finally decided on Xiaxia, and later on, after they got married, he would call her ’wife’!

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong were hiding in the kitchen sharing their thoughts, both excited about soon having a brother-in-law.

Seeing the two of them enter, one after another, Lin Xia, with a flushed face and fiery eyes, went into the kitchen to wash her face, followed closely by Lu Zheng, whose face bore a rarely seen smile. Sensing the mood, the two discreetly went off to set the table and mind their own business.

After washing her face, Lin Xia went into the Eastern House, not wanting to deal with the gleefully laughing Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng calmly washed his hands, and Lin Dong, eager to please, handed him a towel, then glanced at the living room and whispered, "Brother-in-law, what did you do to upset my big sister?" He rarely saw such an expression on his sister’s face.

Lu Zheng innocently replied, "I called your big sister Xiaxia! She doesn’t seem quite used to the name yet!"

Lin Dong burst into laughter, then quickly covered his mouth, realizing if his big sister heard him, he would be in trouble.

His brother-in-law was clever indeed!

Then his second brother-in-law could call his second sister Qiuqiu, and his future partner could call him Dongdong... What about big brother? Chunchun?
