Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 345 - 344: It Really Seems Like It!

"He didn’t come!" Liu Caifeng took it from Lin Xia’s hand and placed it under the stall.

At this moment, Lin Xia took a careful look at the customer.

Their demeanor and attire seemed out of the ordinary, out of place here.

And this face... fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

She couldn’t help but feel stirred, why does this woman look so familiar?

Moreover, the way she looked at her was evaluative and scrutinizing.

Lin Xia’s mind scanned like a radar, and suddenly she thought, could this person be Lu Zheng’s mother?

She looked closely again and then lowered her head, not daring to look anymore.

It seemed to be true!

My gosh!

The little figure in Lin Xia’s heart kept exclaiming in shock!

What situation was this?

Shao Meirou, however, did not recognize Lin Xia because they had only crossed paths once at the hospital entrance.

She had no impression of Lin Xia, but Lin Xia remembered her vividly.

Because of that encounter at the train station platform, she knew this person was acquainted with Lu Zheng.

Latterly, she even found out she was Lu Zheng’s mother.

Shao Meirou, pretending to be just another customer, asked indifferently, "How much for this piece of clothing?"

"Twenty!" Lin Xia pretended not to recognize her, but the price she quoted was the cost price.

"Oh!" Shao Meirou took a look, having already sized up Lin Xia’s appearance from the side.

An oval face, delicate features, a high nose bridge, rosy lips slightly turned upwards, giving the impression of a pre-emptive smile.

Her hair was done up high, loosely, and quite stylishly.

In terms of looks, height, and demeanor, this Lin Xia didn’t seem inferior compared to her own son.

Despite the fact that her clothes were nice, the fabric was ordinary, but she wasn’t timid or hesitant at all, and she spoke and acted decisively.

Perhaps it was because she was in business herself, her mannerisms exuded confidence and affability.

After giving Lin Xia a few thorough looks, Shao Meirou casually remarked, "I’ll look around some more!"

"Sure!" Many guesses sprouted in Lin Xia’s heart, but she couldn’t let any show in front of Lu Zheng’s mother.

As Shao Meirou walked away from the stall, Lin Xia let out a soft sigh and asked with a frown, "What did she just buy? How much?"

"A skirt, sold for twenty-five!" Liu Caifeng cautiously inquired, "Sister Lin, I didn’t sell it for too little, did I?"

"No! You get back to work! I have something to attend to and need to leave first," Lin Xia gave her a few more instructions, "Don’t forget to give this hair hoop to Brother Wang when he comes."

"Okay!" Liu Caifeng saw that Lin Xia seemed a bit off, but as it didn’t appear to relate much to her, she felt slightly relieved.

Lin Xia left the shed heavy with thoughts; she must not have mistaken the person!

Struggling to recall those two encounters, the woman she just saw and the image in her memory coincided; it must have been her.

Lin Xia had met many people, seen many with similar faces, but similar demeanors were rare.

And from her speech, it was clear she did not share the local accent.

Lin Xia got on her bicycle; she needed to think hard about why Lu Zheng’s mother had come here.

Could it be that his family found out about their relationship and came to probe the truth?

Or... were they strongly opposed, wanting to see for themselves who she was before confronting her for a talk?

Lu Zheng’s mother probably never anticipated that they had met before, which is why she was recognized by Lin Xia.

When Lin Xia returned home, she asked Lin Qiu, "Xiaoqiu! Has a middle-aged woman with a good temperament visited the store just now?"

Maybe she had already visited their home without her knowledge.

Lin Qiu answered with a smile, "She did? Did she go to the greenhouse? She mentioned wanting to make a skirt out of a piece of fabric she liked, but after looking at it, she couldn’t make up her mind and ended up asking about the greenhouse! Did she buy it there?"

Facing her sister’s cluelessness, Lin Xia suppressed the turmoil in her heart and went along with her words, "She bought a skirt! Alright, get on with your work."

Lin Xia didn’t tell her sister that the woman might be Lu Zheng’s mother, but after greeting her, she headed back to the rear house.

However, Lin Qiu vaguely felt something was off. Had she said something wrong? She tried hard to remember, but it didn’t seem like it.

Lin Xia returned to the back house, casually tossed her bag aside, and sat down on the sofa to ponder.

Actually, seeing Lu Zheng’s mother had made her quite nervous indeed.

After all, she had originally thought of her merely as Lingzhi’s sister Meifang, who came to buy Ganoderma, but now she was her boyfriend’s mother.

But since the other party did not reveal her identity and just appeared as an ordinary customer, Lin Xia couldn’t just foolishly point it out.

Would she appear again?

Lin Xia hesitated. If she revealed her identity, what should Lin Xia do then?

Lu Zheng would be arriving in a few days, and his mother’s timing was really something.

On the other hand, Shao Meirou was also heavy with thoughts.

This time, she had come alone, mustering the courage to come here and take a look.

She wanted to see what the girl her son was constantly thinking about really looked like.

She wanted to see what about the other party had attracted her son.

To have never considered romance for so many years, he was now spirited away by her.

One could say that this young girl named Lin Xia was quite a surprise to her.

Lu Zheng had been vague and hadn’t said much about what this girl did for a living.

Shao Meirou had initially thought she was an ordinary office worker, only to find out she was in business, and even had a stall.

If this Lin Xia was truly Xia Lin, then she was somewhat at a loss on how to negotiate with her.

She couldn’t just tell the girl directly not to date her son, could she?

This was truly something she found difficult to do.

If only her sister were here, she surely could have managed it.

Shao Meirou returned to the Songxue Hotel where she was temporarily staying.

Once back in her room and after setting down the newly purchased skirt, she realized that from the moment she got off the train and found the hotel, she had been too preoccupied with finding Lin Xia’s home that she hadn’t eaten anything until now.

So Shao Meirou again packed up and left her room.

The receptionist at the front desk was very enthusiastic and, knowing that she wasn’t short on money, told her there was a Mingyuan Restaurant nearby that made good dishes.

Shao Meirou arrived at Jiang Mingyuan’s restaurant. Being alone, the waiter found her a table for four near the bar.

Shao Meirou ordered two dishes and a soup. While waiting for her food, she casually surveyed the restaurant.

By chance, she came at the same time Zhao Da Nian was looking for Jiang Mingyuan in the restaurant to take him back for a blind date.

The restaurant had recently installed a telephone, and Zhao Da Nian’s family had a landline at home as well.

But her frequent phone calls to Jiang Mingyuan were useless. She had to come in person.

"Old Second! You must come with me today! You brushed me off last time!" Zhao Da Nian clutched Jiang Mingyuan’s arm and wouldn’t let go. "Mom has found you a girl with good looks and a good personality! You might take a liking to her if you see her!"

Jiang Mingyuan looked helplessly around, "Mom! Can we go to the office to talk? This is the lobby. Be mindful of the impression we’re making!"
