Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 276 - 275: You Should Just Call Me Lin Xia

Lin Xia and the others had breakfast with varying expressions.

Lin Xia made arrangements for them.

Lin Qiu was to open for business and work as usual, Lin Dong was starting school the day after tomorrow, so Lin Xia asked him to organize his school supplies at home properly.

As for Lu Zheng, well, there was no need for Lin Xia to make arrangements; he took the initiative to follow her around.

Lin Xia, watching Lu Zheng still walking steadily, pushing a big bundle of goods, cleared her throat softly, "Lu Zheng! Can we talk about something?"

They were about to reach the greenhouse, and once there, some things would become inconvenient to discuss.

Lu Zheng held back a laugh, "What is it?" He guessed it probably had to do with a name.

"You should just call me Lin Xia!" Lin Xia really couldn’t imagine a man with such a strong image as him coming up with the idea to call her Xiaxia.

If he called her that in front of others, it would certainly draw a lot of sidelong glances.

"Okay!" Lu Zheng agreed readily.

Lin Xia sighed in relief quietly; she thought he might not agree.

But before she could catch her breath, Lu Zheng spoke again, "When it’s just the two of us, I’ll call you Xiaxia!" That was his compromise.

Lin Xia was extremely exasperated, "...Why are you so fixated on this nickname?"

Lu Zheng explained to her, "Since we are now in a romantic relationship, naturally we should call each other affectionately! How about I call you Xiaoxia?" Using her full name would seem too impersonal.

"All right!" Lin Xia felt that Xiaoxia was something she could accept, as her big brother had always called her that too.

Lu Zheng looked at her with a hooked lip, "But, Xiaoxia! What will you call me?"

"Uh..." Lin Xia paused, as she really hadn’t considered this question, "I’ll still call you Lu Zheng! Calling you Xiaozheng would seem to lack power!"

Lu Zheng wanted to say he didn’t want any power; he just wanted her to call him affectionately.

But seeing her evasive and resistant demeanor, he knew when to stop before he completely annoyed her.

"Alright! I like whatever you call me!"

Lin Xia held back her smile, "Lu Zheng! How come I never realized before that you have such a way with words?"

His image was ever-changing in her heart, and it would never return to that of his original stern-faced self.

"That’s because I wasn’t your boyfriend before! Now I am! Of course, when speaking..." Lu Zheng winked at her.

Lin Xia almost choked on her own saliva, "We’re here! Let’s unload!"

She couldn’t continue the conversation with him; since this morning, every third sentence he said was definitely emphasizing their relationship.

A smile lingered around Lu Zheng’s lips. He didn’t have experience with romance, but who said he couldn’t make sweet talk?

He really never thought he could before!

Until he met the girl he liked, it seemed as if he had mastered the art of sweet talk instinctively and naturally.

On the other side, Wu Zhengyang arrived at his workplace and promptly found Miao Xue to talk outside the office building.

Miao Xue saw his cold expression and was startled, wondering if he knew something.

The two walked one after the other to a nearby bike shed, where there were not many people at this time.

Wu Zhengyang said mockingly, "Miao Xue! Your uncle holds quite a post at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, doesn’t he?"

Had it not been for Lin Xia finding someone to dig this information up, they might still all be in the dark.

As soon as Miao Xue heard him say this, she realized that he indeed knew.

She cursed the woman in her heart for being so capable, managing to find out so quickly that she was the one behind it.

But she would never admit it, no matter what.

"Wu Zhengyang! What do you mean? Whether my uncle is a high-ranking official or not, what’s it to you?"

"How could it not matter? You got your uncle to cause trouble for my partner’s clothing store, and you think I don’t know?" Wu Zhengyang looked at Miao Xue, feigning innocence, and felt particularly disgusted.

Miao Xue retorted angrily, "Wu Zhengyang! How would I know if your partner has troubles? Don’t wrongly accuse people! Yes! My uncle indeed works at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, but that doesn’t mean it has anything to do with me, does it?"

She was confident that he wouldn’t find any evidence. It was probably just something he heard from someone else. After all, they couldn’t make her confront her uncle about it, could they?

Seeing Miao Xue twisting the truth, Wu Zhengyang sneered, "Miao Xue! Whether you’ve done it or not, you know very well in your heart!

I called you out here just to warn you. Don’t pull any more sneaky moves to trouble my partner. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite! I won’t be gentle!" After saying that, he didn’t even bother to look at her and walked away.

Miao Xue’s eyes reddened with a sense of injustice as she shouted at his back, "Wu Zhengyang! You’re too good at wronging people. I’ve done nothing, and yet you accuse me like this!"

Her acting was less this time; she was genuinely feeling wronged, and began to weep, kneeling on the ground.

What’s so great about that woman that Wu Zhengyang would get so worked up for her?

Lin Yu quietly followed them out and hid to the side, hearing the gist of their conversation.

Now seeing Miao Xue crying so sadly, she approached to console her.

"Miao Xue! Stop crying! Wu Zhengyang is really too much!"

Miao Xue looked up, her face a teary mess, which could have looked touching if she were more attractive. But to Lin Yu’s eyes, it was simply ugly.

Colleagues passing by saw the scene and also came to persuade her. In less than a morning, half the department knew that Wu Zhengyang had made Miao Xue cry.

Miao Xue dragged Lin Yu to a secluded spot in the office, complaining bitterly.

"Lin Yu! What right does Wu Zhengyang have to treat me this way? You saw that woman that day, what’s so good about her? No, I’ve got to take her on. I won’t let her get away with this easily!"

She had never felt such grievance in all her life!

Lin Yu said softly, "Miao Xue! Without evidence, no matter what Wu Zhengyang says, if you firmly deny it, he can’t do anything!"

"That’s true! And that’s exactly what I’ve done! But the problem is that he’s convinced it was me! He’ll definitely ignore me from now on!" Miao Xue grumbled resentfully. "How was it discovered so easily that I was the one who got my uncle involved?"

"That woman must know some people! Miao Xue, what do you plan to do next?" Lin Yu’s eyes flickered with calculation. She hadn’t expected Lin Xia and the others to have some skills, finding out so quickly that Miao Xue was the one behind it. If she had known earlier, she would have found another method to deal with them.

But she wasn’t disheartened. As long as Wu Zhengyang dated Lin Qiu, Miao Xue wouldn’t give up easily.

She could use Miao Xue to achieve her goal of dealing with them.

Miao Xue said stubbornly, "If Wu Zhengyang keeps harping that I got my uncle to trouble that woman’s business, then I’ll just stick to my guns... That woman better not think about starting her business... I’ll make sure to ruin it for her..."

Lin Yu said softly, "Miao Xue! Ruining her business is one thing, but you still want to be with Wu Zhengyang in the future... so you should..."

The two of them whispered heads together, and before long, they both smiled with satisfaction.
