Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 743 - 742: She Dares!

As soon as Lu Pengcheng heard Lin Aijia mentioning his grandson from inside the room, he couldn’t help but listen attentively.

So much time had passed, and he had only seen the child once during his first month.

Moreover, his presence that time nearly caused Luo Yue serious harm, so after that incident, when Lin Xia visited her son, he never had another chance to see them.

Some people, as they age, tend to worry about one thing or another.

Lu Pengcheng had not felt this way before, but now he didn’t know whether it was due to aging or some change within himself, as he often found himself thinking about many people.

Shao Meirou knew that Luo Yue had married Lin Xia’s aunt’s son and had a boy.

So, Lu Pengcheng’s reaction was within reason, and she decided not to take it personally.

But standing at the door eavesdropping on someone’s conversation was ultimately impolite, and it would be embarrassing if someone were to see them.

Shao Meirou gently nudged Lu Pengcheng’s arm and gave him a look.

Lu Pengcheng immediately realized he was being inappropriate. He carefully observed Shao Meirou’s face and, seeing she was not angry, he then knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Lin Xia’s voice came through the door.

When Lin Aijia and Zhang Lanxiang saw that it was the Lu couple who entered, their expressions were mixed.

Lin Aijia guessed that since she had spoken to Lin Xia about her grandson, the couple might have heard quite a bit standing outside the door and wondered how much Lin Xia’s mother-in-law knew and whether she would be upset.

Unaware that Lin Aijia and the others already knew about her relationship with Luo Yue, Shao Meirou was very cordial and polite, "Time to eat!"

"Ah! The meal is ready so soon!" Lin Aijia wanted to make polite conversation, but seeing Lu Pengcheng beside her, she didn’t know what was appropriate to say.

Lu Pengcheng actually shared the same thoughts as Lin Aijia; before his identity was revealed, he could talk normally with Lin Aijia and the others as Lin Xia’s father-in-law.

But now that Lin Aijia was fully aware of their relationship, they felt awkward about what to say and what not to say as they were technically relatives by marriage.

Thus, from the moment they saw each other, there was an inexplicably awkward atmosphere between them.

"Yes!" Shao Meirou softly said, "We prepared some things in advance!"

Zhang Lanxiang had been warned by Lin Aiguo before coming, and after seeing such a spacious house and Lu Zheng’s grandfather, who seemed approachable yet carried an intimidating aura of authority, she immediately felt dwarfed.

Hence, even though she knew about the relationship between Lu Pengcheng and Lin Aijia’s daughter-in-law, she dared not speak carelessly in front of the sophisticated Shao Meirou.

It was Lin Xia who spoke up to hurry them along, "Aunt! Auntie! You should go and eat! Come back to see the child after the meal!"

They filed out one after the other. Lin Xia did not go with them; she had a different meal, which she could eat directly in the room while watching the child.

Lu Zheng carried in Lin Xia’s special meal, and they exchanged smiles filled with affection.

Lu Zheng boasted, "Wife! I beat Xiaoqiu and brought you the meal first, reward me!"

Lin Xia, holding back a laugh, pouted slightly, "Alright! I’ll reward you!"

Lu Zheng immediately complied by moving in for a kiss, and they both felt an immense sweetness in their hearts.

As Lin Xia began to eat, Lu Zheng, who was lovingly watching the two children lying in the crib and babbling, discussed with Lin Xia.

"Wife! Grandpa just told me he’d looked through the dictionary and the Book of Songs, listed many names, but didn’t find them quite suitable. Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Xia bit the tip of her chopsticks and tilted her head in thought, "Hmm! I don’t really have any ideas about the formal name; you can discuss it with Grandpa and the others. But, won’t Grandpa and the others be quite upset when they find out?"

When Lu Zheng mentioned wanting his grandfather to name their child, she did not object.

Because the grandfather was exceptionally fond of Lu Zheng and adored her as well.

If it hadn’t been for the grandfather’s support, perhaps their union wouldn’t have gone as smoothly.

Although their grandfather eventually found them, she could have been considered a match for Lu Zheng, but it definitely felt differently.

Lin Xia didn’t care how Fang Youlan would get angry upon knowing this, she cared about Lu Guangqi’s feelings, who was actually really good to them.

Lu Zheng consoled her, "Wife, don’t worry! I will find a time to speak to Grandpa, I think he should be able to understand!

I can say that I grew up beside Grandpa, he was the kindest to me.

From the beginning of our acquaintance to later being together, Grandpa was always supporting us!

Now that his long-awaited great-grandson and great-granddaughter have finally been born, I think it is only natural for him to name them!"

What Lu Zheng refrained from spoiling was that the deeds done by his grandmother Fang Youlan were utterly disheartening and infuriating.

Their two children nearly lost their lives at her hands, so he definitely wouldn’t allow her the chance to be involved in naming them!

Lu Guangqi, wearing his reading glasses, was eagerly flipping through a dictionary to name the two children.

Fang Youlan always wanted to scheme her way into being involved and would interject occasionally, which really irritated Lu Guangqi.

"Can you be quiet for a moment?"

Fang Youlan shuffled to the side and reluctantly said, "Old man! I am the children’s great-grandmother after all. Can’t I even express an opinion in naming them?"

Lu Guangqi put down the dictionary on his lap, tightened his face, and pointed at Fang Youlan, "You still realize you are the children’s great-grandmother? What kind of look did Lin Xia have in the hospital that day?

Aren’t you afraid that Lin Xia will someday tell the two children that their great-grandmother almost denied them the chance to come into this world?"

When he came back that day, he had severely scolded Fang Youlan. Who acts as foolishly self-righteous as her?

If she were smart, she would have taken the opportunity to visit the hospital to lower her profile and might eventually find a chance to improve the relationship.

But Fang Youlan just wouldn’t do it; she still acted impulsively based on her own disposition.

If it weren’t for his timely intervention and warning, the already dire state of their relationship might have become even more rigid.

Just when their cold war had begun to thaw slightly over these past few days, Fang Youlan had stirred up his anger again.

Fang Youlan defiantly lifted her chin, "She wouldn’t dare!"

If Lin Xia dared to say such things to the children, she would definitely tear her apart!

Lu Guangqi scoffed, "What wouldn’t Lin Xia dare to do! She’s not fabricating; what she says is the truth! Doesn’t she have the right to tell her own children the truth? Can you watch her all the time?"

Fang Youlan was left speechless and took a moment before speaking, "I was used by others to commit that foolish act, I’ve recognized my mistake already, why are you so relentless in holding on to it!"

Speaking of which, she was filled with grievances.

If it weren’t for the enmity between Lin Xia and the Meng Family, why would someone target her and her sister?

In the end, everyone blamed her; to whom could she express her grievances?
