Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 778 - 777 Things are up to people!

Even with mental preparation, when Lu Zheng heard Shao Xingbang’s answer, he was still shocked, speechless—really, every emotion was there.

Liang Wei was not just anyone; she was the wife of his best friend, the woman he had been calling sister-in-law for years!

And his uncle had set his sights on her!

Lu Zheng downed half a glass of baijiu in one gulp, the spicy burn traveling from his throat all the way down.

"Uncle! Are you serious?"

Shao Xingbang raised his glass to Lu Zheng and also downed half a glass of baijiu in a single swallow.

After putting down his glass and taking a bite of food, he spoke, "Xiaozheng! To be honest, feel free to laugh, but when I realized I truly had feelings for Liang Wei, I was also shocked beyond belief and couldn’t trust it!

Over the years, there’s been no shortage of people setting me up on dates! They wouldn’t introduce me to just anyone! Every girl they’ve brought to me has had outstanding qualities!

Each one had better criteria than Liang Wei! But the feeling between people is just so amazing! The first time I saw her, I felt so comfortable, and when I saw her again at your wife’s factory, that feeling grew even stronger."

Shao Xingbang was actually very thankful that Lu Zheng had invited him out for drinks and heart-to-heart talk, as he was tormented with hesitation and didn’t know how to make the first move.

Lu Zheng unceremoniously threw cold water on him, "Uncle! Your unrequited feelings won’t do you any good! She has been single with a child and hasn’t looked for anyone; she’s clearly not in that mindset!"

Lu Zheng believed that if Liang Wei wanted to find someone, with her looks, it would be impossible not to find a man.

Shao Xingbang waved his hand indifferently, "Xiaozheng! Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Since I’ve taken a liking to her, I’ll definitely make a move! How will I know if I’ll succeed without trying?

However, this matter will still need your wife’s help. Anything I say or do rashly might startle her!"

"Uncle! Until my grandparents agree, I won’t let my wife meddle in this! Otherwise, if things go wrong, we could end up being blamed!"

Lu Zheng knew this all too well; apart from anyone else, his mother would be the first to disagree with his uncle marrying a widow with a child.

"Okay! I’ll work on convincing your grandparents first!" Shao Xingbang took another sip of the white liquor, "Xiaozheng! Honestly, whether it’s your grandfather or your mother and aunt, they all think that with my conditions, I should at least find an unmarried young lady with even better personal traits.

I used to think the same, but after seeing your and Lin Xia’s union, I felt deeply moved!

Whether it’s love or marriage, if you measure the appropriateness by the conditions of both parties, then it’s definitely because there’s no love or not enough love!

I’ve reached this age without marrying—who’s to say I don’t want to find someone I truly love and connect with?

Of course, Ji Man was an accident! I didn’t expect that it would bring so much trouble afterward!

But I know clearly, the feeling I have for Liang Wei is different compared to Ji Man and the one who passed away.

The feeling Liang Wei gives me is one of comfort and security, as if by fate we’re meant to be together! When you were adamant about being with Lin Xia, did you ever feel the same?"

Lu Zheng found himself at a loss for words, not too many years younger than his uncle, and they had always got along like friends or brothers.

He certainly hoped for Shao Xingbang to find his soulmate and lead a happy and sweet life as soon as possible.

But this person being Liang Wei, the wife of his best friend, Lu Zheng truly found it hard to accept.

He admitted frankly, "Uncle! I really find it difficult to accept this right away!"

Shao Xingbang nodded, "I know! Xiaozheng! I can also understand your feelings! After all, Liang Wei is the widow of your late buddy.

But your uncle wants to say one thing, at some point, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness! Your assumptions can’t fully represent what Liang Wei truly thinks in her heart! Maybe she also wants to take another step forward?"

Lu Zheng nodded silently, maybe his uncle was right! But he still...

Lu Zheng and Shao Xingbang had quite a few drinks, and both were somewhat unsteady when they staggered home drunk.

Lin Xia waited for Lu Zheng to go brush his teeth and get rid of the alcohol smell before she curiously surrounded him and asked, "How did it go? What did your uncle say?"

She had put both kids to bed and was eagerly waiting for him just to know the specific answer. frёeωebɳovel.com

Lu Zheng kissed Lin Xia with a smack, only then eager to start talking to Lin Xia about what Shao Xingbang meant.

"My uncle was clear in his stance, he openly admitted that he is interested in Liang Wei and said he would strive to win her over!"

Lin Xia laughed, "Wow! Just as I had guessed! So when they do get together eventually, we will have to call Liang Wei ’Auntie Mother-in-law!’ We’ll be peers with Wenfeng all of a sudden!"

Lin Xia imagined the scenario in her mind, grateful that Liang Wei was quite a bit older than her, or else it really would have been awkward to call her that.

But for Lu Zheng here, it probably wouldn’t be easy to accept for a while.

Lu Zheng playfully bit Lin Xia, "Wife! How can your heart be so big! You even have the mind to think about these things!"

Lin Xia winced in pain, fought back without any regard, and after a while, they continued discussing the topic.

"It’s not that I have a big heart! The thing is, I think Liang Wei is really nice! She’s good-looking and has a good personality, she’s serious about her work and very capable. She’s a hundred times better than Ji Man, right?

Rather than choosing an unmarried girl with bad morals, I think it’s better to find a down-to-earth, divorced woman with children to settle down with!

Besides, although the uncle has never married and is not getting any younger, if the two of them are both willing to be together, that would be great. Even if they have Wenfeng, the uncle and she could have another child!"

Lin Xia truly thought Liang Wei was nice, it’s just that fate had not been kind to her, leaving her with a husband who passed away too soon.

Lu Zheng rubbed his sore, swollen forehead, and he also shared his own heart’s words, "Ah! Wife! I actually understand all that you’re saying! But if it were someone else who was interested in Liang Wei, or if Liang Wei herself wanted to find a husband, I wouldn’t have any objections or feelings.

After all, Yibin has been gone for so many years, and life for her and her son has been quite tough. Eventually, a family needs a man around the house!

But when that person is my uncle, it feels different!

I keep seeing flashes of Yibin’s voice and smile; he asked me to take care of his wife and child before he passed away, and I promised him that I would fulfill his request... Do you understand my feelings?"

Seeing the pained expression on his face, Lin Xia hugged his head sympathetically, her fingers gently massaging to alleviate his pain.

"Xiaozheng! I can understand your feelings! But it’s still too early to talk about these things, we only know that your uncle has a unilateral interest, as for what Liang Wei is thinking, none of us know!

So I think we should wait for an opportunity to talk to Liang Wei and see if she has any thoughts about finding someone again!

If she doesn’t have the slightest intention of that, then our discussion on whether to accept this has little significance!"

Lu Zheng closed his eyes, "Okay! But don’t bring up the uncle for now, I told him that he needs to win over the grandparents first, then I will let you help..."
