Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 285 - 284 You’re Back

"Married? Aren’t you thinking a bit too far ahead?" Lin Xia hadn’t really thought about that yet.

She just felt she should be braver, since she liked him, she might as well love passionately for once.

Even if it didn’t work out in the end, at least she would have a memory about love.

When she was old and couldn’t move anymore, at least she wouldn’t feel regret.

Lu Zheng clenched his jaw, "Too far? Xiaoxia! I’m serious!"

He didn’t think he was thinking too far ahead. Now that they were in a relationship, they should just get along well for a while, sort things out with the family, and marry Lin Xia as soon as possible.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Xia was somewhat stunned, "Um... I just feel that, after all, we’ve only been dating for a few days, it seems a bit early to talk about the future! It’s getting late, we should hurry up and go, Xiaoqiu will be scared being at home alone..."

She didn’t dare to voice her real thoughts, otherwise Lu Zheng would definitely get angry.

"Okay!" Lu Zheng took Lin Xia’s hand, with another calculation in mind.

A few days later, Lin Xia, Lu Zheng and Lin Qiu were eating at home when suddenly there was a noise at the front door.

They all thought it was Wu Zhengyang, so no one got up from their meal.

But the person who entered was not Wu Zhengyang, it was Jiang Mingyuan from Ji City!

Jiang Mingyuan appeared in a white short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, with a fresh short haircut, which made him look greatly changed from before.

"Big brother! You’re back!" Lin Xia and Lin Qiu both stood up in surprise.

Seeing the blue bag he was carrying, Lin Xia asked, "Big brother, did you just arrive?"

"Yep! Just got off the car!" Jiang Mingyuan smiled at the Lin sisters, thinking that Lin Xia had grown even more beautiful after a few months.

The person he longed for was right there, but sitting with an annoying Lu Zheng. He wondered what their relationship was now...

He looked directly at Lu Zheng, "Lu Zheng is here! When did you arrive?"

"It’s been a few days!" Lu Zheng smiled lightly.

"Oh!" Jiang Mingyuan went to put his bag down beside the couch.

Lin Xia felt a little embarrassed, as she hadn’t asked her big brother and had let Lu Zheng stay at his place on her own accord, "By the way, big brother! With you not here, I had Lu Zheng stay at your house!"

Jiang Mingyuan laughed heartily, "That’s no problem, it would have been empty anyway!" Even if he had been home, he would have let Lu Zheng stay at his place, there was no way he would let him stay at Lin Xia’s house.

Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "Big brother! Have you eaten yet?"

"Haven’t eaten!"

"Then go wash your hands, I’ll cook another dish!" Lin Xia said as she was about to head to the kitchen to think of something else to cook, after all, she couldn’t let her brother eat leftovers now that he was back.

Jiang Mingyuan glanced at the dishes on the table, stopped Lin Xia, "Lin Xia, don’t bother! These are fine! Haven’t you two not finished eating yet? Sit down and let’s eat!"

"Alright!" Lin Xia hurriedly asked Jiang Mingyuan to wash his hands so they could eat, while Lin Qiu went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

Lu Zheng, who had been sitting without moving, winked at Lin Xia, and Lin Xia glared at him. Why did this guy seem so excited to see her big brother return?

Lu Zheng chuckled to himself. No matter if Jiang Mingyuan had returned now, it was too late; Lin Xia was his!

After washing his hands, Jiang Mingyuan sat at the table and smiled at Lin Xia, "I see a lot has changed in the few months I’ve been away, the clothing store is even open..."

He had just not entered when he noticed that all three families had converted their storage rooms to start doing business.

Lin Xia nodded, "Yes! Second Brother! How have you been there? Are you going back this time?"

"It’s been okay over there!" Jiang Mingyuan gave a light smile, "As for whether I’ll go back or not, it’s still uncertain!"

Lin Xia called Jiang Mingyuan to dinner, "Second Brother, come eat!"

"Okay!" Jiang Mingyuan said with a smile as he picked up his bowl. He had been gone for about half a year and really missed the food at Lin Xia’s home.

Lu Zheng suddenly offered Lin Xia a chopstick-full of the tomato and scrambled eggs she loved, "Xiaoxia! Your favorite!"

Lin Xia paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Zheng, then at Jiang Mingyuan and Lin Qiu, who were both watching her, and responded softly, "Okay!" and then began to eat.

Jiang Mingyuan watched the two sitting next to each other with Lu Zheng deliberately acting so affectionate, a trace of sadness flickered through his bright eyes.

It looked like, just as Sheng Yijin had said, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng...

After they finished eating, Lin Qiu was washing dishes in the kitchen while the three of them sat together, drinking tea and chatting.

Jiang Mingyuan talked about how popular Clivia were in Ji City, but didn’t ask a word about Lin Xia’s relationship with Lu Zheng.

Lin Xia noticed he didn’t ask and didn’t bring it up herself; instead, she talked about what had happened in the greenhouse after he left, mentioning Brother Zhou’s marriage and the stiff conflicts Zheng Haiyun’s clothing sales had caused.

Jiang Mingyuan frowned as he listened, "There’s actually such a thing?"

He had entrusted it to Dazhou believing him to be capable and a loyal man with a girlfriend.

He had his own ulterior motives, too. If he had found a single guy, what if that guy took a fancy to Lin Xia?

It turns out that trying to be clever backfired and just caused Lin Xia trouble.

Lin Xia made a fair assessment, "Hmm! Brother Zhou is still a good person! After their wedding, there was a fuss over what to sell... Brother Zhou probably felt embarrassed afterward, and since then, it’s been Zheng Haiyun setting up the stall here, while he went elsewhere... basically hasn’t been seen much..."

Jiang Mingyuan made up his mind, "Lin Xia, don’t worry, I’ll deal with it tomorrow!" He would clean up the mess he caused.

"Second Brother! What are you planning to do?" Lin Xia asked, "Are you going to stop her from working here?"

"Exactly! It’s my stall and I’m back, why keep her here!" Jiang Mingyuan decided that even if the stall stayed empty, he would not let someone make Lin Xia uncomfortable.

Lu Zheng sipped his tea quietly, listening to the two of them talk.

"That’s great! Second Brother! My ears can finally have some peace!" Lin Xia didn’t feel the least bit sorry for driving Zheng Haiyun away; she was simply too annoying.

If it weren’t for the fact that Brother Zhou was Second Brother’s friend and it was his stall, she would have plenty of ways to deal with Zheng Haiyun.

Seeing Lin Xia looking so relieved and happy, Jiang Mingyuan felt even more guilty.

"Lin Xia, your family... afterward..." He was careful because of Lu Zheng’s presence, so he asked somewhat indirectly.

Lin Xia told him directly, "My dad even came over for a meal a few days ago; it’s Lin Qiu’s boutique that had some trouble, but later on, we sought help from Brother Sheng to give gifts and resolve it!"

"I’ve heard about this," Jiang Mingyuan said with emotion, "I didn’t expect Lin Qiu to get into a relationship so quickly... It’s the kid from the neighboring Wu Family, right? Really didn’t expect it; our Lin Qiu in a relationship with him! They weren’t even that familiar during the New Year, right? I remember when I came over during the third day of the New Year to hang out, Lin Dong mentioned it..."

Lin Xia also spoke thoughtfully, "Right! Back then, we even went to their house to watch the Spring Festival Gala! No one expected that afterward, the two of them..."
