Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 272 - 271 You Are More Beautiful Than a Movie

Wu Zhengyang returned home from work in the evening, had a bite of dinner, and then went to Lin Xia’s house.

After he left, Mrs. Wu couldn’t help but sigh with exasperation. Her son now hardly wanted to spend a minute at home.

When Wu Zhengyang arrived, Lin Xia’s family had not yet had their dinner.

Lin Qiu had already heard from Lin Xia that her store was troubled by some people, possibly related to Wu Zhengyang’s colleagues, so her expression turned slightly off when she saw Wu Zhengyang coming.

"You’re here!"

"Yeah! You haven’t finished eating!" Wu Zhengyang noticed something odd in Lin Qiu’s demeanor, and he let out a forced chuckle as he sat down on the sofa on one side.

Lin Xia put her bowl down first, while Lu Zheng and Lin Dong continued eating theirs.

"Xiaoqiu! Pour Wu Zhengyang a glass of water!" Lin Xia took a seat on another sofa, wanting to have a chat with Wu Zhengyang.

"Okay!" Lin Qiu got up.

As Wu Zhengyang’s gaze followed Lin Qiu to the kitchen, he asked, "What happened?"

Lin Qiu’s attitude and reaction were indeed strange.

Lin Xia got straight to the point, without beating around the bush, "Wu Zhengyang, I asked a friend and found out about this. The reason why Xiaoqiu’s clothing store is being picked on is because one of your colleagues went to see her uncle who works at the Administration for Industry and Commerce..."

She was capable of resolving the issues with her store; it wasn’t just a vice problem, but even if it had been something more significant, there were still people higher up who could deal with him.

As long as one was willing to spend money and find the right person, the problem could be solved.

But it was necessary for Wu Zhengyang to know about this; Lin Xia also wanted to see what was really going on.

Wu Zhengyang was first surprised, then his expression quickly darkened, "Then I know who it is! Miao Xue!"

Among his colleagues, as far as he knew, it was Miao Xue from his office whose family had relatives in the Administration for Industry and Commerce.

This was no secret!

And he understood perfectly why Miao Xue would do this, she must be seeking revenge on Lin Qiu!

But wasn’t her reaction a bit too swift?

He had just started dating Lin Qiu for a few days, and she already...

Lin Qiu slammed the water glass down on the small coffee table beside him, unusually agitated as she pressed, "Who is Miao Xue? Why would she do this? Is she the one who is chasing after you?"

Before she dated Wu Zhengyang, Lin Qiu had heard from Wu Zhenghong once—Wu Zhengyang had not only had many colleagues trying to set him up, but there was also a girl who had been pursuing him for a long time!

Her own store was being made difficult, and at first, she thought it was envy from someone in her sister’s greenhouse operation.

Yet, she had not expected it to be related to her!

Seeing a flicker of grievance in Lin Qiu’s eyes, Wu Zhengyang didn’t care that Lin Xia and the others were there, he hurriedly started, "Lin Qiu! Listen to me explain, I really had no idea that this was because of me! She indeed pursued me, but I’ve never paid any attention to her!

She probably found out about you from somewhere... Lin Xia, rest assured, I will definitely take care of this matter properly!"

Wu Zhengyang actually understood in his heart that he rarely talked about his personal matters at work.

Telling people he had a partner was to announce that he was taken, so they wouldn’t keep trying to set him up, but he never mentioned Lin Qiu’s name or details.

And for Miao Xue to have found and targeted Lin Qiu so quickly, someone must have pried the information from his brother-in-law, but at this moment, he couldn’t say that as it would affect their future relationship.

Lin Xia had previously guessed it was a matter of the heart; otherwise, who would do such a thing without cause? Now she was sure of it.

"Just figure it out yourself!" Lin Qiu said stiffly and went straight into the Eastern House.

"Lin Qiu! Listen to me..." Wu Zhengyang hurriedly followed after her.

Lu Zheng and Lin Dong looked at each other, having just finished their meal at the same time and put down their bowls.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and clean up!" Lin Xia commanded them.

Lin Dong chuckled as he got up, "At your command!"

Lu Zheng also followed along to carry the bowls to the kitchen.

Lin Xia was washing the dishes with water when Lu Zheng offered to help, but she shooed him out.

At this moment, Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang came out of the Eastern House.

Lin Qiu stood at the kitchen doorway and said, "Sis! We’re going out for a walk!"

"Go ahead!" Lin Xia knew they probably found it inconvenient to talk with others at home, and it was good for them to have a proper chat, something the two of them should clear up on their own.

When the two had left, Lin Dong scratched the back of his head, wondering if he should also go out for a walk to give his eldest sister some space.

Lin Xia didn’t give him the chance to act alone, "Dongzi! You’re starting school in two days, how about we go watch a movie!"

Once school started and the studying got intense, they wouldn’t have such opportunities.

She wouldn’t dare let her brother anywhere near the riverside; the incident from a few days ago still haunted her dreams nightly, though that was something she wouldn’t mention to anyone else.

"Sure! I’ll go change!" Lin Dong replied gleefully as he went back to the Western House, loving the idea of watching a movie.

Lu Zheng sat on the couch, looking at Lin Xia wiping her hands and smiling faintly, "Watch the movie seriously this time!"

Lin Xia teasingly shot back, "That’s something you should be telling yourself, watch the movie seriously! Don’t keep looking at me!"

His constant gazing at her threw her completely off balance.

This time, she had decided to have Lin Dong sit between them, to prevent a repeat of the last incident.

Lu Zheng murmured softly, "I find you more interesting than any movie!"

In such an environment, with her by his side, even the most fascinating film couldn’t capture his attention.

Upon hearing that, Lin Xia glared at him, flushed with embarrassment, "Stop it!"

Her brother was just behind a wall in the Western House, and yet he was becoming bolder by the day.

Lu Zheng enjoyed her reaction, with those wide, rippling eyes, and her cheeks flushed with a red hue that could be either shyness or anger, making her look all the more adorable – just as a girl in her early twenties should look.

However, he also knew that his brother-in-law was nearby. "Enough of that!"

A smile crept over his usually serious face, bringing it to life.

Lin Xia’s heart fluttered, and she couldn’t help but sigh with relief that he didn’t always smile, or else, who knew how many young girls would fall for him!

Unable to stand seeing that expression on his face, she turned around and went back into the Eastern House to fix her hair.

Lin Dong emerged mischievously from the room after hearing the door close; had he just heard his big sister and brother-in-law flirting with each other?

When Lu Zheng saw Lin Dong’s grin, he stood up and coughed lightly, "Dongzi! Let’s wait outside for her!"

"Alright!" Lin Dong put on his shoes and called out to the firmly shut door of the Eastern House, "Big sis! I’m waiting with Lu brother at the door for you!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Okay!" Lin Xia responded from within the room.

Once the two men had left, Lin Xia looked at the courtyard where the tall and the short figures were walking away. She patted her feverish cheeks and took a moment to calm her heart that was racing like a startled deer.

The more she was around Lu Zheng, the less she could control herself.

She seemed to experience an unusual sensation in her heart at his every word, his every smile.

Emotions like these are indeed difficult to control, and besides, it wasn’t as if she didn’t like him.

With each of his visits, though brief before his departure, her affection for him deepened.

And this time, he was going to stay for a while longer.

Seeing him day and night, Lin Xia couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to; she was increasingly drawn to him...
