Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 788 - 787: Long Time No See!

In the cinema, Cheng Wenfeng was sitting between Shao Xingbang and Liang Wei, avidly staring at the big screen and watching the movie.

However, Shao Xingbang seemed a bit distracted, frequently turning his head to look in Liang Wei’s direction.

Under the flickering light, he thought she looked even more beautiful and captivating.

In fact, he couldn’t understand why he felt such a stirring in his heart for Liang Wei.

Maybe it was that so-called mysterious fate!

Anyway, he just felt happy whenever he saw her.

Liang Wei appeared to be seriously watching the movie, but from the corner of her eye, she could feel Shao Xingbang’s warm gaze.

Her cheeks were burning, and if it hadn’t been for not wanting to disappoint and sadden her son, she actually wouldn’t have wanted to come to the movies with Shao Xingbang so soon.

Although she had agreed to be friends with him first, deep down, she still had various reservations and discomforts.

Being a widow with a son, compared to a man like Shao Xingbang, a strong sense of inferiority lingered.

Neither of the adults was truly watching the movie, each lost in their own thoughts.

During the intermission, Cheng Wenfeng suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom.

He liked to drink orange soda, having not only finished his own bottle but also that of his mother’s.

"Mom! Uncle! I need the bathroom!"

"Okay!" Liang Wei instructed him, "Then be careful! Can you find your way back?"

Cheng Wenfeng confidently smiled and nodded, "I can! I know which row it is!"

"I’ll come with you! Luckily, I need to go as well!" Actually, Shao Xingbang had no intention of using the restroom. He was just concerned about Cheng Wenfeng going out alone.

Although Cheng Wenfeng was already a fourth-grader, in his eyes, the boy was still a child.

Cheng Wenfeng happily followed behind Shao Xingbang, slowly making their way out, while Liang Wei’s gaze followed their figures—a tall and a small one—until they were out of sight, then she turned her head and sighed inwardly.

Shao Xingbang was really too good to her son, and she could differentiate that kindness wasn’t false.

Her son also really liked Shao Xingbang. If it hadn’t been for her constant reminders, the child might have already let slip the word "Dad."

However, Liang Wei didn’t have much confidence in her and Shao Xingbang’s future...

Upon leaving the bathroom, Cheng Wenfeng looked up at Shao Xingbang and said, "Uncle! Did I do well?"

Amused by his plea for praise, Shao Xingbang ruffled the boy’s short hair and commended, "Yes! You did particularly well! After the movie, I’ll take you out for Western food!"

He knew that if it weren’t for the strong support of Cheng Wenfeng, Liang Wei might not have agreed so easily to go out to watch a movie with him.

Cheng Wenfeng’s eyes shone, "Western food? Steak?" He had only heard of it but never tasted it.

"Yes! Besides steak, there are many delicious things! You will definitely like them!" Shao Xingbang felt deeply moved, determined to let Cheng Wenfeng try all the things he had never tried before.

Cheng Wenfeng nervously clutched at his clothes, "But Uncle, neither my mom nor I have ever had Western food, and we don’t know how to use a knife and fork!" He was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of others.

"Silly boy! What’s there to be afraid of! If you don’t know, I’ll teach you!" Shao Xingbang chose Western food not only to introduce them to something new but also to add a touch of romance.

Cheng Wenfeng hugged Shao Xingbang’s waist happily, "Uncle! You’re so kind! You’re the nicest person in the world to me, apart from my mom!"

Shao Xingbang flicked him on the forehead, "Of course! From now on, I’m your father, if I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?"

"Right!" Cheng Wenfeng almost blurted out a question, wanting to call him dad right then and there, but he forcefully held himself back.

It was because his mother had a serious and formal chat with him, telling him she agreed to start off as friends with his uncle, and it was uncertain if they could really be together in the future; thus, he should mind his behavior and not act so thoughtlessly.

Seeing Cheng Wenfeng’s beaming smile, Shao Xingbang was also very pleased, and, with laughter and conversation, he put his arm over his shoulder and walked forward.

Suddenly, Shao Xingbang slowed down his pace and the smile vanished from his face as he coldly stared at a spot.

Cheng Wenfeng noticed Shao Xingbang’s odd reaction and looked in that direction as well.

There stood a young woman in a dark suit not far away, her tall figure complemented by flowing long hair. She held a bottle of soda in her hand, staring steadily at them.

Shao Xingbang hadn’t expected to see Ji Man in the movie theater, her appearance was certainly not by chance!

It had been over half a year since he transferred back, and he hadn’t seen Ji Man since.

It had to be said, Ji Man had changed a lot, she seemed much thinner and haggard.

Shao Xingbang patted Cheng Wenfeng’s back, "Wenfeng! You go back by yourself first! Your uncle has run into an acquaintance and needs to say a few words!"

"Okay!" Cheng Wenfeng glanced curiously at the woman and then at Shao Xingbang, before reluctantly turning and heading inside.

Shao Xingbang strode toward Ji Man and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Ji Man’s eyes were moist, and she managed a slight smile, "I came to watch a movie! Long time no see!"

When Ji Man realized that Shao Xingbang had spotted her, she was startled but quickly composed her emotions.

The fact that he had noticed her was good; it gave her an opportunity to speak with Shao Xingbang.

"Are you following us?" Shao Xingbang did not believe Ji Man’s words for a second. The city was so large, how could they just happen to bump into each other at the movie theater?

Ever since he had been deceitfully trapped by Ji Man and her family, he had stopped believing in her completely!

Ji Man sadly lowered her gaze, "What do you think I am? I didn’t expect to run into you here either!" She took the opportunity to ask, "Who is that child? Someone from your relative’s family?"

Shao Xingbang did not answer her question but instead said coldly, "Ji Man! We both know full well what happened, we have been broken up for some time and have nothing to do with each other!

I warn you! If you try to entangle me again or disturb my life, I will make sure you regret it!"

He, Shao Xingbang, was definitely not a pushover. If Ji Man dared to do anything excessive, he would make her life miserable!

Ji Man tried to explain desperately, "Xingbang! I really am not trying to entangle you! It’s just a coincidence that I ran into you here today!

Why are you so fierce with me! Those things back then... I did them because I loved you..."

"Shut up! I don’t need that kind of love from you, you know very well what you’ve done! If I see you again, I won’t be so easygoing!" After saying these harsh words, Shao Xingbang strode away.

Ji Man stared intently at Shao Xingbang’s retreating figure, her eyes blood-red.

She couldn’t believe Shao Xingbang would reject her, a single woman, to be entangled with a woman who had a child!

What was he after? What was so good about that woman?

In her eyes, that woman was not even one-tenth of what she was...
