Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 814 - 813: Some Rejoice, Some Worry!
Shao Chengzhi didn’t babble on any longer, "Alright! Let’s not beat around the bush! I agree to give you one year, but if Liang Wei still doesn’t consent after a year, don’t blame us then!"
The youngest son isn’t young anymore and since he genuinely likes her, as a father, he couldn’t be selfish and only consider his own feelings and face.
If fate wants them to be a couple, then his obstruction would only waste time.
How many more years can he live? If he could see his youngest son marry and have children in his lifetime, he could pass away peacefully.
Shao Xingbang almost burst into laughter; he didn’t expect his father would agree so straightforwardly!
But thinking about it, it’s not hard to understand. His father is indulgent because of love.
Even though Shao Xingbang didn’t laugh out loud, the smile in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth couldn’t be hidden, "Dad! You are truly my good father! It’s my great fortune to have a father like you in this lifetime! I want to be your son in the next lifetime too!"
Shao Chengzhi saw his gleeful look and rolled his eyes, "Cut it out! Just a moment ago you were somber and grumpy, and now that I agreed, you instantly changed your face! In your heart, do I not compare to Liang Wei and her son?" He, as a father, was already pushed aside even before anything happened.
"Dad! Listen to yourself! Is that sour or what?" Shao Xingbang worried that while he’s working hard here, someone else might be working behind the scenes.
He added a caveat, "Dad! One more thing, let’s agree upfront that none of my sister or anybody else should secretly influence Liang Wei’s decision.
If I find out, I really won’t ever forgive it!"
"Alright! I’ll tell them!" Since Shao Chengzhi promised, he would follow through.
When Lin Xia and Lu Zheng got up and left the room, as soon as they saw Shao Xingbang’s expression, they knew the outcome.
Even though Shao Xingbang looked happy, Shao Meirou’s face was grim.
She couldn’t accept that her father agreed so easily to let her little brother mess around.
But since their father agreed, what could she, as an older sister, say? And even if she said, would anyone listen? Would Shao Xingbang listen to her?
The whole family had breakfast together under an atmosphere where some were joyful and some worried.
After breakfast, everyone sat together to discuss the trip to attend Lin Qiu’s wedding.
Lin Qiu’s wedding was about to take place, and Lin Xia and her husband couldn’t arrive on the exact day, so tomorrow Lin Xia and Lu Zheng, along with Lin Dong, would go to Qin Zeming’s place early.
Shao Chengzhi and Lu Pengcheng, along with their kids, would follow later.
Lin Xia needed to first go back to the factory to make some arrangements before leaving town for a few days, and she also had to inform Liang Wei and others.
While Lu Zheng’s mother and Lin Xia were changing the child’s clothes, and when grandpa wasn’t in the living room but the father was with Keke, Lu Zheng winked at Shao Xingbang.
Shao Xingbang asked, "What’s the meaning?"
"We’re heading to the factory later, are you coming?"
Shao Xingbang pondered for a moment, "I won’t go now! The way I look is not suitable! I’ll get prepared first and make my move after we return from the wedding."
Though urgently impatient inside, Shao Xingbang paid attention to his appearance. Since Liang Wei refused him when he was handsome and dashing, now looking scruffy and disheveled would only earn some sympathy, but gaining favor or affection would be difficult.
"Alright then! I won’t see you off! I’m taking my wife to the factory!" Lu Zheng didn’t bother to be polite,
"Go ahead! I know you’re whipped," Shao Xingbang teased playfully, "What do I matter as a brother-in-law, compared to your wife!"
Lu Zheng knew he was in a good mood, so he teased back, "What do I matter as a cousin, compared to the future wife of my cousin!"
Listening nearby, Lu Pengcheng’s mouth twitched, thinking how immature his son and brother-in-law acted! Are they grown-ups or kids?
Lu Zheng drove Lin Xia to the factory.
All of Xiaowa were familiar with Lu Zheng, so seeing him arrive, they were excited and happy enough to almost give a hero’s welcome.
Lu Zheng liked catching up and chatting with them, as every person working for his wife was particularly close to him.
Lin Xia saw them enjoying their manly chat and didn’t interrupt Lu Zheng.
She took a tour of the workshop, checking that everything was running smoothly, then went into the office with Liang Wei.
"Sister Liang! You know, I’ll be out for a few days. I’m leaving tomorrow. The factory is in your hands. If there are any tough problems, call my grandpa’s house. I’ll leave the phone number for you!"
Liang Wei nodded, "Alright! Rest assured and go! We have the factory covered! Congratulations to your sister on her marriage. I’m not sure what would be appropriate to give, so I stitched a curtain for her during my free time.
I’ll get it from my room for you to take along! It’s not worth much, but it’s my heartfelt gesture!"
She started preparing secretly when she found out Lin Xia’s sister had set a wedding date.
Considering Lin Xia and Lu Zheng’s profound kindness towards her and her son, she definitely wanted to send a gift for Lin Xia’s sister’s wedding.
Giving money seemed insincere, a tangible gift felt more meaningful.
Eventually, she decided her best skill was needlework, so she embroidered a curtain.
"Sister Liang! Thank you! I’m so touched! I believe my sister will like it very much!" Lin Xia was deeply moved, knowing they were usually busy during the day and only had free time at night.
Yet Liang Wei stayed up late to embroider the curtain, such a heavy sentiment and blessing. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"I’m glad if she likes it! I’ll get it soon!"
"Sounds good!" Before leaving, Lin Xia remembered Shao Xingbang’s advice, so she didn’t immediately inform the family about them already agreeing.
...
When Lin Xia and the others arrived at Qin Zeming’s place, all preparations for Lin Qiu’s wedding were almost done, now just patiently waiting for the groom to fetch the bride.
Seeing her sister Lin Qiu about to marry, so beautiful like a fairy emerging from water, her skin gleaming and radiating happiness and hope, Lin Xia felt very gratified.
"Xiaoqiu! Are you nervous?"
Lin Qiu’s cheeks had been blushing from their teasing since they met, "Nervous! Sis! If you didn’t come soon, I would have called to press you! Your wedding gifts are too generous!"
Lin Xia didn’t think they were overly generous; if time allowed, she would have prepared even more.
"You’re my only sister; of course, your marriage needs thorough preparation! So when you get to in-laws, they’ll know you were cherished at home! They won’t dare to bully you lightly!"
