Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 725 - 724: Don’t get too close to her!

Lin Xia’s smile faded slightly, "Really? Then I must be quite lucky!"

She and Yang Wanmeng had never been very close to begin with, and since Yang Wanmeng had once been close to Meng Xiangzi, it made it hard for her to like Yang Wanmeng.

Hao Xiaoyun saw Lin Xia’s displeasure. She couldn’t help but speak her mind, "Lin Xia! That day when we were making sauerkraut dumplings at my house, after Yang Wanmeng said those things to you, didn’t you ask Li to drive you to the train station?

After Nie Siming found out, he had a fight with Yang Wanmeng! The couple argued so intensely that we could hear everything clearly from downstairs!"

"Oh! Really? I really didn’t know about that!" Lu Zheng hadn’t mentioned it to Lin Xia, so how could she have known?

However, she could guess that since Nie Siming was a rather upright person, once he found out that Yang Wanmeng had said those things, he would definitely be unhappy and accuse Yang Wanmeng.

And certainly, Yang Wanmeng’s temper wouldn’t make things easy.

"Your husband, Lu Zheng, probably didn’t want to tell you, so he kept it to himself! They are a bit awkward with each other now.

Sister-in-law doesn’t mean anything else, nor is she trying to take sides. It’s just that, since this matter has already happened, we thought, why not have dinner together at our place tonight and clear up some misunderstandings?

After all, we’re all from the same department, right! We shouldn’t let some issues harm our good relationships!

Sister-in-law also knows that what Yang Wanmeng did was not right; I told her off at that time.

But generally, we get along well, and being neighbors on different floors, continuing in this awkward manner really isn’t good.

Not to mention, other people will talk behind our backs."

Li mentioned a few things to her when he was leaving today, wanting her to talk to Lin Xia so that everyone could sit down together for dinner this evening and untangle the misunderstandings.

Actually, even if Li hadn’t said so, she had the same intention. fгeewebnovёl.com

She was somewhat older than both Lin Xia and Yang Wanmeng and really didn’t like to see everyone getting along poorly.

Lin Xia listened seriously to Hao Xiaoyun rambling on and calmly replied, "Sister-in-law! I have no objections to having dinner together. I’ll mention it to Lu Zheng when he’s back!"

Originally, when Lin Dong had an incident, Lu Zheng had instructed others including Li Qingshui to keep it from her, but only Yang Wanmeng had deliberately let it slip to arouse her suspicions.

Upon reflection, Lin Xia clearly recognized the ulterior motives behind Yang Wanmeng’s actions.

When people interact with each other, no one’s a fool; you can tell genuine feelings from pretense from many things.

Moreover, Yang Wanmeng didn’t overly disguise her motives.

From the moment Lin Xia had arrived here, Yang Wanmeng had always kept an eye on their family.

However, Lin Xia could also understand Hao Xiaoyun’s perspective; although each had their own schemes, they still worked together as a team.

Now, due to the previous incident, there were knots in the hearts of both Lu Zheng and Nie Siming, which would definitely impact their collaboration at work.

Upon hearing Lin Xia agree, Hao Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief internally. She had been truly afraid that Lin Xia would remain obstinate and not agree to bury the hatchet.

She quickly changed the subject, "Have you guys gone to the hospital for a check-up?"

She knew that the only son in Lu Zheng’s family was particularly cherished, and that they would certainly place great importance on the child in Lin Xia’s womb.

"We did!" Lin Xia touched her belly with a brilliant smile, "Sister-in-law! The check-up revealed that I’m carrying twins!"

Hao Xiaoyun exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Oh my goodness!" followed by a hearty laugh, "You two really are capable, having twins all at once!"

She was genuinely happy for Lin Xia and her family, because the family planning policy was very strict, and families like theirs could only have one child.

Wanting more was simply not possible unless they chose not to advance in their careers.

The two of them chatted joyfully about the children for a while before Lin Xia stood up to say goodbye and head home to cook.

Lu Zheng returned at noon, and Lin Xia had already steamed the rice and stewed a dish of sauerkraut with potato strips.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, and Lu Zheng deeply inhaled, praising, "Wife! The sauerkraut you stewed smells so good!"

It had been a long time since he had eaten the dishes Lin Xia cooked, and he missed them deeply!

"Does it smell that good?" Lin Xia felt sweet inside; who doesn’t like their cooking to be complimented?

She smiled and directed him, "Then wash your hands quickly and get ready for dinner!"

"Sure thing!" Lu Zheng entered the bathroom with a smile on his face.

Lin Xia thought for a moment, then agilely fished out a piece of pickled mustard greens from the pickle jar on the north balcony.

After washing the pickled vegetables clean and slicing them, she mixed them with MSG, sesame oil, vinegar, and minced garlic.

When it was time to sit down for dinner, Lu Zheng found the sauerkraut stewed to perfection and the pickled vegetables refreshing and appetizing, which greatly opened up his appetite.

Seeing him eat so deliciously, Lin Xia’s appetite was also boosted.

While eating, Lin Xia mentioned to Lu Zheng about Li Qingshui’s plan to host a dinner that evening.

"I went to talk to the sister across the door; she wants Nie Siming and his wife as well as us to come over for dinner, to clear up the previous misunderstanding, so there won’t be any rifts between brothers in the department!"

Lu Zheng put down his chopsticks, knowing he had appeared somewhat harsh on Nie Siming before, but it was true that he had been really upset earlier this year.

Lin Xia and he had barely conceived a child, and if something had really gone wrong because of Yang Wanmeng’s indiscretion, he couldn’t imagine what a horrifying scene that would be.

He seriously said, "Wife! We can go for the dinner, but Yang Wanmeng clearly did it on purpose! Whether she has any secretive dealings with Meng Xiangzi, none of us know, so from now on, don’t get too close to her!"

Yang Wanmeng was overly jealous, and she had once been quite close with Meng Xiangzi; thus, he didn’t want his wife to be in danger again.

"I know! Don’t worry!" Lin Xia had agreed to Hao Xiaoyun’s request also to avoid any awkwardness among everyone.

In the evening, when Lin Xia and others went across the door for dinner, they brought a bottle of Moutai from home.

Li Qingshui was delighted to see the liquor, and even more so when he saw it was Moutai, laughing excessively in praise.

Yang Wanmeng and Nie Siming arrived a bit later than Lin Xia and her group.

Nie Siming still seemed the same as always, showing no significant change, and he greeted Lin Xia with a cheerful hello.

Yang Wanmeng evidently came downstairs for the meal without feeling cold, so she didn’t wear a heavy coat but merely draped a half-length woolen coat that couldn’t button up.

Lin Xia noticed that Yang Wanmeng’s stomach seemed bigger than it had been earlier this year, but since the belly wasn’t pointy, she couldn’t tell if it was because Yang Wanmeng was too skinny or the baby wasn’t large.

At the same time, Yang Wanmeng was also watching Lin Xia, with her gaze lingering deliberately on Lin Xia’s belly a couple of times.

She had already found out from Nie Siming that Lin Xia was expecting twins.

The news made her both envious and intensely jealous! Lin Xia having twins must surely thrill Lu Zheng’s family, wouldn’t they dote on Lin Xia even more?

Seeing this, Li Qingshui called them to sit down, "Don’t all stand there! How can you be so formal at our house! The two pregnant ladies, please sit down quickly, Siming and you guys sit too! Hurry!"

Lu Zheng shifted his chair to let Lin Xia sit next to him.

Nie Siming and Li Qingshui sat together, with Hao Xiaoyun and Li Haoran beside them, while Yang Wanmeng ended up sitting diagonally opposite Lin Xia.

After everyone took a few bites of the dishes, Yang Wanmeng stood up with a cup of tea in her hand.
