Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 777 - 776: Have you taken a liking to someone?

Shao Xingbang outright laughed in denial, "Sis! What are you thinking about? I was just curious about the person you mentioned and asked a couple of questions, that’s all!"

At the moment, he simply found Liang Wei somewhat extraordinary, inexplicably feeling comfortable at the first sight of this woman.

As for something like love at first sight, he thought it was impossible at his age!

Shao Meirou immediately felt a huge relief and a smile spread across her face, "That’s good! Xingbang, I didn’t mean anything else! It’s just that with your qualifications, you wouldn’t need to choose a widow with a child even with your eyes closed! The gap is just a bit too much!"

After all, her brother had never been married and was still a good catch, it didn’t seem necessary for him to settle for a widow with a child even if he wasn’t young anymore.

Moreover, this Liang Wei was little Xiaozheng’s buddy’s wife, what would they even call each other in the future?

Shao Xingbang replied helplessly, "Sis! I’m not a young guy in my twenties anymore, you don’t have to keep thinking that my qualifications are so great, so unattainably high!

If I keep drifting like this, when will I ever get married? If I really meet someone suitable, I won’t care about the gap!"

Shao Xingbang was speaking from the heart, but Shao Meirou’s heart once again started pounding.

She thought her brother was lowering his standards due to being hurt by the incident with Ji Man.

"Xingbang! Don’t give up on yourself because of that thing with Ji Man! There are still good girls out there!"

When Shao Meirou brought up Ji Man, Shao Xingbang’s brow furrowed slightly then relaxed, "Sis! I’m not disheartened and I won’t give up on myself!"

Shao Meirou was half convinced and promptly inquired, "Has Ji Man bothered you again?"

Ever since her brother transferred back, she was always worried that Ji Man would relentlessly follow him.

"She can’t find me now, how can she bother me!" Shao Xingbang had heard from former colleagues that Ji Man had been asking around to find him.

But it’s not so easy for an ordinary person like her to find him.

Shao Xingbang did not want to continue this topic, "I’ll go to the living room to play with the kids!"

Shao Meirou, noticing the change in her brother’s expression, decided not to bring up those unhappy subjects, "Ok! Go ahead, then!"

A few days ago, Jingjing and Keke were still holding onto the sofa and coffee table to walk, but now that they just turned one, they could walk quite steadily.

When Shao Xingbang returned to the living room, the two little ones were having a walking race.

Shao Chengzhi and Lu Pengcheng were acting as referees while Lin Xia and Lu Zheng clapped their hands to cheer.

The scene was lively, everyone’s face brimming with joyful smiles.

Shao Xingbang’s mood was also infected by this happiness, and he joined the clapping crowd.

A few days later, Shao Xingbang visited Lin Xia’s garment factory.

When Lin Xia saw Shao Xingbang at the garment factory, she was extremely surprised, "Uncle! How come you have time to come over?"

This was the first time Shao Xingbang had come to her factory since it started.

Shao Xingbang casually looked around as if he had no particular reason, "Just swinging by for a visit!"

Lin Xia made him tea and poured water, then the two of them sat face to face on the guest sofa for a chat.

Lin Xia asked directly, "Uncle! No one visits without a reason! You’re definitely not just here for a casual visit!"

Knowing how busy her uncle had been since his return to work, she knew he usually made time to come home for meals.

After sipping his tea, Shao Xingbang spoke very naturally, "Right! I was thinking of offering you some work on the side."

Lin Xia had already guessed a bit, "What work?"

When she heard what kind of work Shao Xingbang had in mind, Lin Xia outright refused, "Uncle! Thank you for thinking of us! But the factory already has a lot of orders and can’t handle more! Besides, I wouldn’t want people to speak ill of you!"

She knew her uncle meant well, wanting to give her another channel to make money.

But if she wanted to take on more work, she’d also need to add more sewing machines and labor.

Bit off more than she could chew, she decided it was best to bite only as much as she could chew.

"Fine! If you don’t want to do it, then we won’t!" Shao Xingbang respected Lin Xia’s opinion.

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

Lin Xia said "Come in," and saw Liang Wei enter with several sample garments in her arms.

Liang Wei had always been drafting patterns in the technical room, so she had no idea there was someone else in Lin Xia’s office.

Lin Xia knew that they had dined at the same table during the child’s first birthday, but she wasn’t sure if the two remembered each other.

Just as she was about to introduce them, she realized Liang Wei had already recognized Shao Xingbang as Lu Zheng’s uncle.

"Uncle is here!"

This word "Uncle" made Shao Xingbang’s mouth twitch invisibly, "Hmm! Hello!"

He didn’t know why, but although Liang Wei was about the same age as Lu Zheng, he felt it was natural when Lu Zheng called him uncle. When Liang Wei did it, it felt weird, as if it suddenly made him feel old!

"Hello!"

Seeing that Lin Xia and Liang Wei had work to attend to, Shao Xingbang didn’t linger and took his leave immediately.

Lin Xia didn’t dwell too much on Shao Xingbang coming to the factory, as she was really busy lately. In addition to the factory work, she was also busy preparing Lin Qiu’s dowry.

Her sister was getting married after the National Day holiday, and though their grandparents were helping with the preparations, Lin Xia still wanted to personally ensure everything was taken care of.

Their mother was no longer with them, and as the eldest sister, she felt it was her responsibility to take on this role!

Moreover, she always wanted to make up for the shortcomings of her past life!

When Shao Xingbang started coming to the factory every now and then, Lin Xia sensed something was off.

She found time to discuss it with Lu Zheng, who had finally returned home.

"Xiaozheng! You’ve been away recently, you don’t know, your uncle keeps dropping by our factory! Has he taken a liking to someone?"

Lu Zheng’s expression turned serious, "Taken a liking to whom?"

"Liang Wei! Apart from her, the other female workers in our factory are mostly older and have families! It definitely can’t be them!"

Lin Xia had observed and analyzed, and if Shao Xingbang was interested in anyone in their factory, aside from Liang Wei, she really couldn’t think of anyone else!

But even if it was Liang Wei, Lin Xia was a bit baffled. She always felt like her uncle was someone who took the road less traveled.

Lu Zheng was also puzzled, blinking, "Wife! You’re not joking with me, are you?"

Liang Wei and his uncle seemed like completely unrelated people to him.

Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She patted Lu Zheng’s shoulder, "Would I joke about something like this? What should we do, Xiaozheng?"

Lu Zheng was more composed than Lin Xia, "It’s okay! I’ll have a chat with my uncle and see what he’s really up to!"

"Great! Find time to talk to him!" Lin Xia felt it was better to clear things up as soon as possible, otherwise Shao Xingbang loitering in her factory would be a nuisance for everyone.

Lu Zheng soon asked Shao Xingbang out for a drink alone, the two of them chatting over a few drinks.

"Uncle! I heard you’ve been frequently visiting my wife’s factory?"

Shao Xingbang had guessed Lu Zheng’s purpose before the outing, tossing a peanut into his mouth, "Yes!"

Lu Zheng inquired, "Uncle! Have you taken a fancy to someone?"

Shao Xingbang looked into Lu Zheng’s eyes seriously and said, "Xiaozheng! I think Liang Wei is quite good! I have a favorable impression of her!"
