Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 684 - 683 Unreasonable!

Lu Zheng returned with breakfast quite soon.

After the three of them ate together, Lin Dong urged Lin Xia to leave the place and find somewhere to rest properly.

"Big sister, you’re pregnant. Hurry up and don’t stay in the hospital!

There are sick people everywhere. What if you catch a disease?"

Lin Xia, seeing that Lin Dong was fine, finally put her mind at ease, but she still wanted to spend more time with him.

"It’s not as horrible as you’re making it sound! I’ll be fine! Aren’t you supposed to get an injection later? Can we manage without keeping an eye on you?"

"There’s nothing wrong! Big sister, just go with your brother-in-law! You can see I’m really fine here! Besides, someone will watch me get the injection!"

Lin Dong was dead set on getting Lin Xia to leave, partly because he truly worried about his big sister’s health, and partly because he wanted to create an opportunity for the couple to be alone and reconcile.

Eventually, Lin Xia couldn’t go against his wishes and, after giving Lin Dong a few instructions, left the ward with Lu Zheng.

In the hallway, Lu Zheng’s eyes brimmed with amusement, and he occasionally turned his head to look at Lin Xia, who walked slowly beside him.

He knew his wife wasn’t as angry as before.

"Wife, still angry? Tell me, what can I do to make you feel better?"

Lin Xia glanced at him, "Let me beat you up!"

Lu Zheng chuckled. He wasn’t being vain, but even with the greatest force his petite wife could muster, it wouldn’t have much impact.

If she really hit him, it would probably feel more like a massage!

"Fine! You can hit me wherever you like!" he teased, leaning close to Lin Xia’s ear with a mischievous smile, "But not the buttocks!"

"Go away! Who’s joking with you like this?" Lin Xia finally couldn’t keep a straight face and laughed. In reality, she had stopped being angry the moment she had vented at him when they first entered the ward.

Seeing Lin Xia’s mood clear, Lu Zheng’s smile deepened. "I’m not joking! I’m being serious!"

The couple then left the hospital, and Lin Xia cleared her throat and composed herself, "Lu Zheng! The reason I was angry with you was because I felt you deceived me!"

From getting to know each other, to falling in love, they had rarely lied to one another, trusting each other completely.

But this time, him lying to her about his brother’s sudden issue, even if it was well-intentioned and for her own good, still made her feel frustrated and disappointed.

Lu Zheng’s expression became serious, and he nodded earnestly, "Don’t worry, wife! I will never deceive you again! This time it was really just a moment of panic worrying about you being newly pregnant..."

"Good! I hope you will keep your word!" Lin Xia looked out towards the street outside the hospital gates, "But where are we going now?"

Lu Zheng put his arm around Lin Xia’s shoulder, "Let’s go home! But I reckon mom is probably at grandfather’s house, so let’s go straight there!

Wife, I rushed over because I was afraid if I told our mom and they found out, you would accidentally hear about it, so I haven’t even gone home yet!"

Lin Xia appreciated Lu Zheng’s thoughtfulness and felt a bit embarrassed as she praised him, "You’ve worked hard!"

"What hardship! Dongzi is like a real brother to me, it’s only right that I do this as his brother-in-law when he’s in trouble!"

Hearing Lu Zheng’s sincere words, Lin Xia felt even more touched. But with so many people coming and going at this time and place, she found it difficult to express such sentimental feelings.

She deftly changed the subject, "Can those three people who beat up Dongzi be found quickly?"

If it was just a common, impulsive robbery, finding them amongst the vast crowd would not be easy.

Lu Zheng spoke with conviction, "We’ll definitely find them! Don’t worry, wife!"

There were some leads on the case, but he didn’t want Lin Xia to know about them until the problem was completely resolved.

Shao Meirou was indeed at Shao Chengzhi’s house.

After Shao Chengzhi was discharged from the hospital this time, she moved in with him for convenience in taking care of him.

Since Lu Pengcheng was often away at his company in other places, and only occasionally returned, it didn’t matter where she lived.

Shao Meirou and Shao Chengzhi were extremely surprised by the sudden return of the young couple, Lu Zheng.

"Why have you come back all of a sudden? Why didn’t you let us know in advance? What happened?"

Shao Meirou asked in rapid succession, her gaze filled with concern landing on Lin Xia’s belly, "Lin Xia, are you alright?" frёeωebɳovel.com

She had just been talking to her father about how well Lin Xia was doing, and how the young couple led a happy and prosperous life.

It hadn’t even been a few days, so why had they suddenly returned?

"Mom! Grandpa! I’m fine! It’s my brother who had an incident! He was assaulted outside of school and was admitted to the hospital!"

No sooner had Lin Xia’s words fallen than Shao Meirou urgently asked, "What about now? Is he alright?"

Shao Chengzhi also stared intently at Lin Xia, wanting to know the specifics.

"Mom! Grandpa! Don’t worry! It’s nothing serious, he just has a mild concussion and some superficial wounds on his body and face!"

Shao Chengzhi, angered, slammed the table, "This is outrageous! It hasn’t been long since the crackdown, and now someone dares to act so recklessly!"

He truly hadn’t expected such a thing to happen!

Lin Xia’s brother wasn’t just his junior but also his old friend’s grandson by marriage. That something like this happened in his territory made him feel disgraced, failing his old friend and the child!

After speaking, his eyes sharply turned to Lu Zheng, "Xiaozheng! You must immediately investigate this and get to the bottom of it! We need to get justice for Lin Dong! Who have you contacted?"

Lu Zheng stood straight, his attitude humble, "Grandpa! Rest assured! I’ve already reached out to someone! I believe we will hear news soon!"

Shao Chengzhi knew his grandson was reliable, and he nodded, "Tell me if you need me to do anything!"

"I certainly won’t be polite with you!" Lu Zheng wasn’t keen on using his grandfather’s connections just yet. After all, it wasn’t a major case: why use a cleaver to kill a chicken?

Having learned that Lin Xia had taken an overnight bus yesterday and had rushed to the hospital early in the morning, Shao Meirou quickly urged Lu Zheng to take Lin Xia to the upstairs room to rest.

Shao Meirou helped Shao Chengzhi into the study.

Once the door was closed, Shao Meirou said, "Dad! Do you think we should let Uncle Qin know?"

"Of course, we should tell him!" Shao Chengzhi was extremely upset, "Speaking of which, I feel so ashamed. Someone’s child almost encountered a big problem under our roof!

I was too complacent, thinking that after the crackdown, and given it’s a university campus, it would be safe! I really regret not arranging for someone to discreetly protect that child."

"Yes! Nobody expected anything like this to happen!" Shao Meirou was also frightened by the thought. If anything serious had happened to Lin Dong, not only would they have a hard time explaining to others, but Lin Xia’s pregnancy would also be at risk.

Shao Chengzhi said, "Meirou! Go to the kitchen and have them prepare some food. We will go to the hospital later to see Lin Dong!"

"Alright, Dad! I’ll go right away!" Shao Meirou said and then left the study.

After weighing his options, Shao Chengzhi picked up the phone and dialed Qin Zeming.

Qin Zeming happened to be at home. When he learned about the incident involving Lin Dong, he was furious!

His grandson had encountered something like this!

He hurriedly inquired about Lin Dong’s condition and only breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that he was not in grave danger...
