Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 752 - 751: Undeserving!

Shao Xingbang listened silently, his heart not as calm as he appeared.

It should be said, what Ji Man told him had some discrepancies compared to what Lin Xia had revealed.

But it’s normal for stories to differ depending on the perspective of the person telling them.

Shao Xingbang needed to think it over carefully. He stood up and waved his hand, "Alright! I’m going back to my room! You all get some rest!"

"Okay! Uncle, you should also get some rest early!"

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia saw him off at the door, neither of them able to guess what Shao Xingbang would ultimately decide to do.

Lin Xia felt, up to now, that while Ji Man’s experience deserved sympathy, her actions afterwards had been very improper.

Furthermore, she had not yet brought up how Ji Man had incited Lu Qing and her cousin Song Zhiya against each other.

Lu Zheng gently wrapped his arms around Lin Xia, resting his chin on her shoulder, "Wife! Don’t think too much! Anyway, we’ve already told uncle everything, let him decide for himself!"

As family members, they couldn’t interfere in matters of love; in the end, it was up to his uncle’s own will.

"Okay!" Having voiced the weight on her mind, Lin Xia felt much more at ease.

If she had kept it all bottled up, it would have been intolerably distressing.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Xia went to the toilet after feeding her child.

She heard noises coming from the kitchen and, curious, went to have a look.

To her surprise, she found Ji Man standing by the stove, cooking something.

Ji Man appeared very friendly, "Lin Xia! You’re up too?"

Lin Xia scoffed coldly, "You’re cooking?" Ji Man really knew how to put on a show! With maids around, was there any need for her?

"Yes! I woke up early and saw no one else was up, so I made some porridge!" Ji Man put down the ladle and approached Lin Xia, "Lin Xia! While there’s no one around, I want to have a word with you!"

She had practically been sleepless all night, uncertain of how Shao Xingbang, now knowing everything, might feel, nor could she guess whether he would break up with her.

But now that she was living in such a home and had received Shao Xingbang’s father’s notable welcome, she was more determined than ever to secure her place here.

Once she was married into the family, not only would she enjoy wealth and status, but her parents would also be able to rid themselves of past humiliations and hold their heads high.

Therefore, she needed to reconcile with Lin Xia, at least for the time being.

Once she had successfully married into the family, she would have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with Lin Xia!

"What is there for us to talk about?" Lin Xia didn’t want to listen to her.

Her uncle now knew about the past, and whether they continued or broke up was their own matter; she didn’t want to be involved any further.

Ji Man grabbed Lin Xia’s wrist urgently, "Lin Xia! Don’t go! Just give me two minutes, that’s all!"

Lin Xia shook off her hand and folded her arms with a cold laugh, "Fine! Two minutes!" She was actually curious to hear what Ji Man wanted to say.

Ji Man bit her lip, tears in her eyes, "There are indeed some things in the past that I did wrong. I shouldn’t have used your older brother and almost harmed him!"

"But Lin Xia, I am innocent too! If it wasn’t for that scumbag..."

"So our grudges should be considered settled! No one owes anyone anything!"

"In the future, if I become family with your uncle, I’ll strive to get along well with you!"

Lin Xia really wanted to give Ji Man a ’Heh’, even now Ji Man still believed that the harassment she received from Xu Haimin was because of her and Jiang Mingyuan!

And why is she so certain she’ll become part of the family with my uncle?

"Ji Man, our grudges cannot be resolved! Whether you and my uncle get together has nothing to do with us!

Even if there comes a day when you two do get together, I still won’t acknowledge you. Because I think your character is bad, unworthy!"

After Lin Xia finished speaking, she left without paying any attention to Ji Man behind her, who glared at her with a fury burning to bore holes through her back.

Lu Zheng had just put Jingjing into the crib when he saw Lin Xia enter the room with a sullen face.

"Wife! What’s wrong? Who upset you so early in the morning?"

Lin Xia originally had a good temperament and became even more cheerful and optimistic after giving birth to two children, so it was really rare to see her with such a gloomy face.

Lin Xia hugged Lu Zheng and acted coquettishly, "It’s Ji Man! I had just come out of the bathroom when I saw her boiling porridge in the kitchen. Then she even pulled me aside and spoke a load of nonsense.

She said she wouldn’t have been entangled by Xu Haimin if not for me and your second brother, so since my big brother ended up in trouble because of her manipulation, we’re even in grudges! She also said that if she ends up getting together with my uncle, she’ll definitely get along well with me!

Xiaozheng, I really can’t stand her! The thought of such a person becoming our aunt makes me sick! If my uncle really marries her, I really wouldn’t want to see her for a whole year!"

Lu Zheng teased Lin Xia’s nose, saying, "Look at that pout, you could hang an oil bottle on it! Wife, the New Year’s tomorrow, there’s no point in getting mad at her!

We’ve already said what needed to be said. Whether my uncle ends up with her or not, it’s ultimately in their own hands!"

Lin Xia looked up at him and asked, "Then what do you think? Will they end up together or not?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Lu Zheng took the opportunity to give her a kiss before saying, "From what I know about my uncle, it’s really hard to say! But I do think he’ll definitely consider it carefully in the short term!"

Lin Xia hmphed lightly, "You’re saying the obvious! Don’t I know that?"

This year, there isn’t a thirtieth day in the month, so after the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

After a relatively peaceful breakfast, Shao Chengzhi, who was completely out of the loop, sought out Lu Zheng and Lin Xia for a chat.

He advised them, "I know both of you have quite some complaints against your grandmother! Actually, I also feel she does many things wrong!

But even if not for the sake of the monk, do it for the Buddha—your grandfather is really nice!

To give an example, just consider the matter of naming the child, how tolerant and magnanimous was your grandfather?

Look, you’ve been living here for quite a while now, and since the child’s birth, you haven’t even visited your great-grandfather’s house. Is that proper?

Tomorrow, you both should go and celebrate the New Year there with everyone. Don’t worry about me, both your big and little uncle will celebrate New Year’s with me."

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia exchanged glances, actually finding what their grandfather said reasonable.

Although Fang Youlan wasn’t great, Grandfather Lu Guangqi was definitely very exemplary in his behavior.

They hadn’t visited last New Year due to the incident with the Fetal Exchange Medicine.

This year, with the children being born and grandfather being so gracious and accommodating about the naming, it indeed seemed inappropriate not to visit at least once.

Besides, because of Ji Man’s arrival, Lin Xia really didn’t want to spend the New Year with this detestable person deep down.

Lu Zheng saw through his wife’s thoughts at a glance, so he directly agreed, "Grandpa, we’ll go!"

"Right!" Lin Xia couldn’t help but give an extra reminder, "Grandpa, but you must take good care of yourself, drink less and eat more veggies!"

Without her mother-in-law or herself around, grandpa might get carried away with drinking in celebration.

She hoped for her grandfather to live a long and healthy life; she didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Shao Chengzhi promised with a smile, "Good! I will definitely drink less and eat more veggies!"
