Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 791 - 790: The comer is up to no good!

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng were enthusiastically seen off by Sister Li outside the front gate. Only after the two of them had left in their car did they start to discuss the situation with grave expressions.

"Xiaozheng, Ji Man lives around here, and I suspect she saw me walk with Sister Li... She must have visited the factory already if she came to ask about these things...

Luckily we discovered her today; otherwise, with Ji Man plotting in secret and us out in the open, it would have been impossible to guard against!"

Lin Xia thought that since Ji Man had even followed them here and knew about Shao Xingbang and Liang Wei’s relationship, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t do something.

If they were completely unaware, it would be all too easy to fall prey to her schemes.

"That’s right! We must inform my uncle immediately to be on his guard, and we need to ensure the safety of Liang Wei and the child too!"

In Lu Zheng’s eyes, Ji Man was someone who would even resort to fake suicide attempts to manipulate the uncle; there was nothing she wouldn’t dare to do.

Liang Wei and Cheng Wenfeng were left in his care by his best friend, and he absolutely couldn’t let anything go wrong with them.

He truly wouldn’t know how to explain it to Cheng Yibin if they were harmed due to someone else’s machinations.

After all, everything began because of his uncle!

"Yes! I’ll have Xiaowa and the others take the child to and from places! Then we’ll also strengthen the security at the factory!" Lin Xia also realized the severity of the situation, knowing that Ji Man hated her to the bone, so she had to be cautious of potential retaliation.

Lin Xia was impatient by nature. She glanced down at her watch, "Where are we going now? I wonder if my uncle has returned to the factory!"

"Definitely not! They must be out for a meal after watching a movie! Since we now know about this, let’s not panic. We’ll go back and inform my uncle so he can be prepared. Honey, let’s go buy some clothes first."

Lu Zheng’s holiday was short, as he needed to rush back the next morning, so Lin Xia had to get all the planned matters done first.

"Okay! Let’s make it a quick battle then!"

Putting aside their worries, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia went shopping for clothes on a bustling street.

Lu Zheng, looking at the shops on both sides and the people walking by, remarked, "Honey, it’s been a long time since we last went shopping together!"

Since returning to his post, he was so caught up in work that he had neglected his family. Fortunately, his wife was understanding. Otherwise, there would have been complaints by now.

Lin Xia smiled, "Yeah! I’ve forgotten when the last time was that we shopped together!"

Lu Zheng felt he had been neglecting Lin Xia and their two children far too much. He took her hand and held it tight, "Honey! I’m sorry! I’ve been so busy... and haven’t spent quality time with you and the kids!"

"Haven’t I been busy too! What’s the big deal? If you’re going to say that, then I owe it to our children too!" Lin Xia never meant to blame him, "How about this, if you really feel sorry, you’ll wear whatever I ask you to later on!"

"Alright! No problem!" Lu Zheng readily agreed.

Lin Xia chuckled mischievously, "Remember, you promised, and a gentleman’s word is his bond!"

Lu Zheng looked at her with adoration and smiled, "Of course!"

The couple ended up in a store with a bright and clean display window that looked good from the outside.

Upon entering, they saw that the shop had men’s and women’s clothing on either side, and the styles were pretty nice.

The round-faced saleswoman greeted them with a friendly smile, "Feel free to look around! Try on anything you like!"

"Sure!" Lin Xia nodded, spotting some of the most fashionable suits.

Lin Xia had never seen the tall Lu Zheng in a suit before, and picked out black and grey suits in different colors for him to try on.

Lu Zheng obediently went to try on clothes, while Lin Xia continued wandering around the store, looking for more appealing garments. She soon spotted a nice long dark grey coat as well.

Given Lu Zheng’s tall stature, he could carry it off well. She promptly took it in her hands.

Not too long after, Lu Zheng came out of the fitting room.

Lin Xia couldn’t help exclaiming, "Oh my, my man has a body like a model’s!"

She was used to seeing him in casual clothes, so the sudden switch to a suit was a particularly stark contrast! freēwēbηovel.c૦m

To Lin Xia’s eyes, he was exceptionally handsome and cool. She excitedly circled around Lu Zheng, her eyes sparkling with admiration and love.

Lu Zheng, trying to suppress his laughter, asked, "Wife, how do I look?"

"Great! You’re like a clothes hanger! So handsome! Let’s take both of these sets!"

"Okay! As you wish," said Lu Zheng without any objection.

Lin Xia grinned with delight. "Try on this coat as well!"

Once Lu Zheng put on the coat, his presence was overwhelming—Lin Xia instantly became a smitten fan.

The two of them quickly finished their shopping and returned to the factory.

After Shao Xingbang and others had finished watching a movie and dinner, Liang Wei was busy with her things. Shao Xingbang didn’t leave in a hurry but stayed to play with new toys in the room with Cheng Wenfeng.

Lin Xia called Shao Xingbang to the office alone, and the three of them sat down to discuss things.

Lu Zheng broke the news, "Uncle! Today, my wife and I saw Ji Man!"

Shao Xingbang asked in surprise, "What? You guys saw Ji Man too? Where did you see her?"

He had stayed, intending to wait for Lin Xia to come over and talk about his encounter with Ji Man.

It wasn’t very convenient to discuss such matters with so many family members at home.

Yet, to his surprise, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia had also encountered Ji Man on the same day.

Lu Zheng asked with astonishment, "You saw her too?" He thought he and Lin Xia were the first to spot Ji Man but apparently Uncle had met her as well.

Shao Xingbang’s expression turned grave, "Yeah! I saw her at the cinema! How about you?"

Lu Zheng replied, "In a bungalow area not far from the factory. I spotted her by chance while waiting in the car for Lin Xia. Then, we went to that person’s house and it turned out to be the home of Sister Li from the factory..."

Lin Xia added, "Sister Li doesn’t know her. Ji Man approached her on her own to inquire about things. I reckon she already knows about you and Sister Liang... Uncle, she doesn’t come with good intentions!"

"I know! I must protect the safety of Liang Wei and Wenfeng. Today, when I encountered Ji Man, I told her not to pester or disturb my life, or else I would definitely make things difficult for her..."

Lin Xia had deeper concerns, "Uncle! We don’t know when Ji Man actually came to the provincial city or how much she knows about us. Shouldn’t we perhaps give Grandpa a heads-up about yours and Sister Liang’s situation?"

Shao Xingbang felt helpless as well, "Of course I want to tell them, but your grandparents actually don’t agree. Saying they neither support nor oppose is just because they think Liang Wei isn’t interested. That’s why they say so.

If Liang Wei agrees to date me, I’d certainly go straight to convincing them.

But now Liang Wei and I are just friends. If I bring it up now, what if your grandparents say something to Liang Wei behind my back? Wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain? I might lose even the chance to be friends..."

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng exchanged looks, understanding Uncle’s reasoning, but this situation really left them on tenterhooks...
