Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 280 - 279: Does He Dare?

Wu Zhenghong had no time to wash the towel. She wiped her hands and tried to persuade Wu’s mother, "Mom! If people are giving you the cold shoulder, there must be a reason! Think about it, Lin Qiu’s clothing store was picked on, and now it’s not even open!

If that happened to me, because of my family, Liang Cheng, if someone harmed me, you’d definitely not be happy either!"

Put yourself in their shoes, it’s normal for their dad to be upset.

Upon hearing Wu Zhenghong’s persuasion, Wu’s mother cooled down a bit, "That’s true! But it’s not the fault of our family! Who knows what’s wrong with that woman! Isn’t this an unnecessary commotion?"

She still felt she was unjustly aggrieved!

Wu Zhenghong continued to gently persuade her, "Mom! If you say that, aren’t you admitting it’s not Lin Qiu’s fault either? His business was doing well but someone made trouble and now he can’t even open his doors, how much money does he lose every day?

The Lin Xia sisters know this happened because of our family. Wouldn’t they have some thoughts about it? Even if they don’t say it, they definitely have some ideas. Now is a tough time for them, so Mom, please don’t add to the confusion..."

Wu’s mother’s expression softened, "Ah, I’m not saying I want to make trouble; it’s just, you didn’t see Lin Qiu’s dad’s act!" She suddenly felt something wasn’t right, "Dahong, but weren’t their dad taken to a mental hospital by Lin Xia? It seems their relationship is still okay!"

Seeing her mother no longer clinging to her frustration, Wu Zhenghong continued washing the towel and chatted casually, "Maybe their relationship has improved! No matter the conflict between a father and his children, they are still bound by blood ties, can they fight forever? We see that Lin Qiu and the others are all so magnanimous..."

Mother and daughter were chatting lively when Wu Zhengyang came home from work.

He saw Lin Qiu’s tightly closed shutter and door, his expression darkened as he pushed his bicycle into the gatehouse.

It couldn’t be possible that Lin Qiu shut the shutter during the day; there must be something wrong!

Wu’s mother rushed out of the hair salon, grabbed her son who was about to head to Lin Qiu’s house, and asked in a low voice, "Son! Where are you off to?"

"Lin Qiu’s shop isn’t open? I’m going to check it out!"

Wu’s mother quietly told him, "Someone came to make trouble again! Lin Qiu’s dad is at home!"

"Really! Then I must go over and see!" Wu Zhengyang hurried upon hearing this; he had just warned Miao Xue that morning, but apparently, it had no effect.

Wu’s mother held onto Wu Zhengyang’s wrist tightly, "Son, don’t go there now! I encountered him in the backyard earlier, and he didn’t give me a friendly face! If you go, won’t he scold you too?" She didn’t want her precious son to be scolded!

"Mom! Let go! Even if he scolds me, I still have to go! What will it become if I don’t go now? Now that Lin Qiu’s shop is closed because of me, should I’ve become a shrinking turtle?" He had heard about some issues from Lin Qiu’s house before, so he knew about her dad.

Seeing this, Wu’s mother could not stop him but only whispered, "Then if things don’t look good, come back quickly!"

"Sure! I know!" Wu Zhengyang hurried into Lin Xia’s house.

When Wu Zhengyang entered, Lin Dong and Lin Aiguo were setting up the table.

Lin Dong quickly introduced him as he saw him entering in a rush, "Dad! This is my second sister’s boyfriend, Wu Zhengyang!" Then, pointing at Lin Aiguo, he said, "Brother Wu! This is my dad!"

He thought, great, both potential brothers-in-law met all at once today!

Knowing Wu Zhengyang had arrived, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng felt it was inappropriate to stay in the room any longer.

Lin Aiguo sized up the young man with a lift of his eyelids; he looked spirited and steady, but the trouble he brought was definitely unsettling.

"Uncle!" Wu Zhengyang greeted politely; this was his first meeting with Lin Aiguo, and he was somewhat nervous.

Especially since the looks he received from him were filled with scrutiny and reproach.

Lin Qiu heard the commotion and came out from the kitchen, she gave Wu Zhengyang a blaming glance and then turned back to the kitchen.

Seeing Lin Qiu’s reaction, Wu Zhengyang could no longer engage in small talk with Lin Aiguo, and hurried to the kitchen.

Lin Aiguo watched coldly, his displeasure deepening.

Not one of them considered him significant!

But he knew things were already quite good as they were, what more could he ask for?

It was good enough that Lin Xia didn’t kick him out and let him eat at home!

Lin Dong felt helpless, both prospective brothers-in-law seemed to really dislike his dad.

But there was a reason for that, who could blame them with how his dad had treated them before?

With Wu Zhengyang’s help, the dishes Lin Qiu prepared were served one after another.

Everyone sat around the table, Lin Aiguo glanced at Lin Dong and Lin Qiu sitting beside him, wanting to say something, but seeing Lin Xia’s cold face, he kept silent.

He knew that if he misspoke, Lin Xia wouldn’t leave him any dignity.

In front of his future sons-in-law, he had to maintain some face.

Lin Xia directly asked Wu Zhengyang, "There’s someone named Lin Yu in your department, right?"

Nobody paid any attention to the three people with Qian Chunli, so if Lin Aiguo hadn’t mentioned it, nobody would have thought that Lin Yu worked in the same department as Wu Zhengyang.

Wu Zhengyang nodded, "Yes! Do you know her?" All having the surname Lin, could they be relatives?

Lin Xia pursed her lips, "She is my stepmother’s daughter. What’s her relationship like with that woman surnamed Miao?"

If they were close, then this affair might really be related to Lin Yu somehow. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Wu Zhengyang’s expression became grave, "They are very close!"

So, it seemed there were reasons beyond his own that someone had caused trouble for Lin Qiu’s store...

Lin Aiguo’s face grew stern, he was convinced that Lin Yu was definitely involved.

People at the table had varied expressions, each making their own judgments.

"You guys eat slowly! I’m going to the greenhouse!" Lin Xia ate quickly; after eating only half a bowl of rice, she left the table because she couldn’t stomach facing Lin Aiguo, and she needed to replace Liu Caifeng for her meal.

Lu Zheng also put down his bowl, "I’m done eating too!"

After the two of them left, Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang also quickly finished eating and went out to talk privately.

Left alone, Lin Aiguo looked at Lin Dong, who was silently eating, and sighed inwardly, "Lin Dong, is there any alcohol?"

Lin Dong looked up at Lin Aiguo and nodded slightly, "Yes!"

"Get me a glass!" Lin Aiguo hadn’t even dared to mention it before.

"Alright!" Lin Dong knew he could handle his liquor, and there was some in the house, so he got up and poured a glass in the kitchen.

Lin Aiguo downed half the glass in one gulp, the fiery taste made his face scrunch up, but the heat trailing from his throat to his stomach made him feel significantly heartened.

His two daughters had found partners, and neither had even asked him.

If it had been the old him, he would have flipped the table and caused a huge ruckus, but could he now? Would he dare?

He was afraid that if he caused a scene, Lin Xia would have him thrown out immediately and they would never see each other again!

But no matter what, he was still their father. There were things he had to say, whether they listened or not was another matter.
