Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 754 - 753: How Could He Be Interested in Her?

Ji Man instantly understood his implication, and her tears of grievance slid down, "Don’t you think this is very unfair to me?"

"When we were together, you knew I was much younger than you, and now... because Lin Xia is your nephew’s wife, you... you make me..."

Ji Man hated Lin Xia to death in her heart; she was simply her nemesis!

She also hated their complicated relationship to death!

If Shao Xingbang wasn’t Lin Xia and Lu Zheng’s uncle, and he had no relationship with them at all!

Then, there wouldn’t have been such huge twists and turns between her and him!

"Ji Man! Don’t cry first! I’m just saying we both should calmly think about it, I haven’t said anything about breaking up now!" Shao Xingbang didn’t like to see a woman’s tears.

The light of hope rekindled in Ji Man’s eyes, "Xingbang! I care about you too much! That’s why things turned out this way... I won’t cry..."

Shao Xingbang smiled helplessly, in fact, he also didn’t know what the right thing to do was;

Saying to break up right away was clearly not suitable, it was the end of the year, and he wanted to give his father a good New Year; everything had to wait until he had sent the person back to make a decision.

At Lu Guangqi’s home, Fang Youlan knew her dearly awaited great-grandchildren were finally coming to their house, and she was actually happy in her heart;

But being accustomed to complaining, she couldn’t control her mouth.

"You see, it’s on them too! If they wanted to spend the New Year with us, why didn’t they say something earlier?

The New Year is tomorrow, is there even enough time to buy whatever is missing now?"

Lu Guangqi was in a good mood and didn’t want to get angry, he amiably said, "How can it be too late? Buy whatever is missing!

Besides, the two kids can’t eat much now anyway, those toys we’ve prepared will just come in handy! As for food, there are even less problems, I’ll ask Pengfei to handle it!"

Fang Youlan blinked, thinking how could the children not be able to eat anything? They were almost six months old, they could eat some egg yolk and such!

But she knew her old man’s temper; it was the New Year, better not to provoke him.

"Alright! Then you give him a call!"

Lu Guangqi picked up the phone and called his second son, hastily gave him a few instructions before ending the call.

Lu Guangqi looked at Fang Youlan sitting on the sofa there, feeling uneasy and wanting to talk to her.

"My dear! Tomorrow, Xiaozheng and his spouse are bringing the kids over, pay attention to your words and behavior!

It’s all family here, now our great-grandchildren are coming here to celebrate the New Year together, such a wonderful event, why turn it into a powder keg?

If we can smooth out relations this time, won’t you have less to worry about them bringing the kids over to visit in the future!"

Fang Youlan felt great dissatisfaction in her heart, but it wasn’t towards her son or grandson, it was more towards Shao Meirou and Lin Xia.

Picking Shao Chengzhi’s home for childbirth and confinement, she had raised some objections that Shao Meirou vehemently contested right to her face.

Fine! She had endured in the end! Who let her be outmaneuvered and used by someone at that time!

Later, after Lin Xia finished her confinement, Fang Youlan thought that since her son had also retired, they would definitely move back to their own home.

In that case, it would have been more convenient for her to see the children. It was inconvenient for her to go to Shao Chengzhi’s home, and it would be totally impolite to not go to her son’s!

But lo and behold! They settled down and stayed continuously, right up to the New Year!

She definitely planned to have a serious conversation with Lu Pengcheng, about when exactly they would move out of his father-in-law’s place.

As for Lu Guangqi’s place, she chose not to say anything for now, to avoid another quarrel between the two.

"I know! I’ll go tidy up the house!"

Early the next morning, Shao Chengzhi and his family all changed into brand-new clothes.

Lin Xia and Shao Meirou particularly loved dressing up the children, Jingjing and Keke were both dressed in bright red outfits.

In the backdrop of vibrant red hues, their little faces appeared even rosier and more delicate, their skin so tender it seemed breakable by mere blowing, looking as adorable as chubby babies in New Year paintings, bringing an especially festive vibe.

Breakfast hadn’t started yet when Shao Chengzhi specifically gave the two children thick red envelopes.

Lu Pengcheng and Shao Xingbang also showed their generosity.

Ji Man wanted to follow suit and give red envelopes to the children but was stopped by Shao Xingbang, "The bracelet you gave is enough!"

Ji Man, unable to hide her disappointment, lowered her gaze and tightly gripped the red envelope in her hand.

Lin Xia noticed something amiss, as she had sensed a different kind of vibe between her uncle and Ji Man the day before.

By the time the four adults arrived at Lu Guangqi’s house with the two children, Lu Pengfei and his family were already there.

It was New Year, and naturally, they greeted each other and chatted for a while.

Jingjing and Keke were the center of attention, moving from one embrace to another, and the two kids, not being shy, did not cry whoever held them.

As a result, they received several generous red envelopes from many people.

Seeing that it was about time, Song Wanjun, Shao Meirou, and Lin Xia all headed to the kitchen to prepare the meal for the afternoon.

Fang Youlan finally seized the opportunity to bond with her great-grandson, holding Jingjing non-stop and constantly kissing his chubby cheeks.

Lu Qing really liked Keke, finding her soft and doll-like. Without much experience in holding children, her arms were particularly stiff, "Big brother! I’m afraid I might strain your child’s back!"

Lu Zheng then stepped in as a sort of teacher, instructing her, "It’s okay! Just support her belly, let her sit on your legs for a while; you’ll both be more comfortable that way."

Keke liked being held like this, blinking her bright big eyes and enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Lu Guangqi teased Keke, holding a rattle drum, "Keke! Look at what’s in great-grandpa’s hand! Do you want it or not?"

When Keke reached out to grab it, Lu Guangqi lifted it up, then handed it over to her.

After a couple of back-and-forth, Keke didn’t get it and started to pout and cry, not pleased.

This really startled Lu Guangqi, who quickly stuffed the rattle drum into Keke’s hands, "Keke, don’t cry! Great-grandpa was just playing with you! Here, take it!"

Keke, small but with a temper, pushed the rattle drum away with her little chubby hands, adamantly refusing it!

Her reaction amused everyone, causing them to burst into laughter.

Lin Xia came over upon hearing the commotion and quickly calmed Keke down, persuading her to play with the rattle drum before she returned to the kitchen.

Lu Guangqi, being completely fair, also got a rattle drum for Jingjing.

The children played joyously, continuously giggling, while Lu Guangqi joined the engaging conversation, casually asking, "Big brother! What’s your brother-in-law’s girlfriend like? I forgot to ask over the phone yesterday!"

Lu Pengcheng felt a bit awkward; this question was indeed a tricky one to discuss, but in front of his own family, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t talk about.

"We also didn’t expect, but Shao Xingbang brought back a girlfriend who happens to be Lin Xia’s friend!"

"What?" Lu Guangqi and everyone else were stunned by the news, "How much younger is she?" freeweɓnøvel.com

"Quite a few years!"

Lu Qing was even more curious than the others about who the person was, "Great uncle! What’s my sister-in-law’s friend’s name?"

Lin Xia’s friend dating her brother-in-law; if things became serious between them, how would one address her? Could it even be said out loud?

Lu Pengcheng said, "Qingqing! You should know her! Her name is Ji Man!" He had seen them talking together.

"It’s actually her!" Lu Qing was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped, "Why would Shao’s uncle go for her?"

In her view, these two were absolutely incompatible!

"We don’t know! We were all shocked at the first sight!"

Lu Qing’s expression kept changing, and she carefully handed Keke back to Lu Zheng, "Big brother! You hold your daughter! I need to go to the bathroom!"
