Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 781 - 780: Just Watch!

Shao Meirou told Lin Xia about her plans, and Lin Xia had no choice but to tell her mother-in-law about Liang Wei’s thoughts.

"Mom! I’ve already subtly inquired! Liang Wei simply doesn’t want to look for a partner! She just wants to raise her child well so he grows up to be successful!"

The next day, she called Lu Zheng to relay this information, but since he wasn’t at home, their exchange of information wasn’t timely.

As soon as Shao Meirou heard this, she was ecstatic, "That’s wonderful! I’ll rush to let Grandpa know! He’s been worrying about this for days! I mean, Uncle, of all people, had to take a fancy to Liang Wei!"

She truly couldn’t accept her brother taking a fancy to Liang Wei.

Ji Man, though somewhat uncomfortable in her heart, was, after all, an unmarried young lady.

Liang Wei was different, not only married but also with such a big kid.

It was only then that Lin Xia realized Uncle had already spoken to Grandpa about it; she couldn’t help but be inwardly shocked, seeing that Uncle was serious!

She saw her mother-in-law happily go upstairs to inform Grandpa and really didn’t have the heart to continue discussing whether Shao Xingbang would give up so easily.

A few days later, Shao Xingbang returned.

He directly asked Shao Chengzhi for his decision.

Shao Chengzhi, already aware of Liang Wei’s reluctance to find a partner, casually indicated that he neither supported nor opposed the idea.

The same went for the others.

Shao Xingbang immediately phoned Lu Zheng, relayed the family’s opinions, and hoped for his support as well.

"Xiaozheng! Now Grandpa and Mom are neither supporting nor opposing! So shouldn’t you also come to terms with it?"

Lu Zheng was actually at a loss for words; he couldn’t bring himself to express support, but to stop opposing fiercely was possible.

"I can only achieve a stance of neither supporting nor opposing! As for the rest, Uncle, it’s up to you!" Lu Zheng didn’t want to involve his wife in this matter.

Shao Xingbang immediately understood the subtext of Lu Zheng’s words, "Deal! If it’s up to me, then it’s up to me! Just you watch!"

The very next day, Shao Xingbang came to the factory again.

Lin Xia, already aware of Shao Xingbang’s ulterior motives, happened to be leaving to talk business, so she conveniently left space for him to act freely.

Liang Wei didn’t think anything of it; Shao Xingbang was Lu Zheng and Lin Xia’s Uncle. With Lin Xia absent, she naturally entertained him warmly.

Shao Xingbang wanted to visit the workshop, so she kindly and attentively took him there.

The more Shao Xingbang interacted with Liang Wei, the more he felt she was a good woman who just had a hard luck encounter with misfortune.

At noon, Lin Xia hadn’t returned, and the factory workers, as usual, left for lunch at their homes.

Two male workers also went as usual to Liang Wei’s room for a meal.

Today, in addition to Liang Wei and her son, there was also Shao Xingbang at the dining table.

They all knew he was the boss’s Uncle and, because of his open and friendly character, they got along well.

Cheng Wenfeng listened with interest to the entertaining stories they shared, so engrossed that he even forgot to eat. When he looked at Shao Xingbang, his eyes shone with deep admiration.

Liang Wei gently patted Cheng Wenfeng’s shoulder, "Son! Eat your meal quickly! Don’t you have school this afternoon?"

"Oh! Yes!" Cheng Wenfeng hurriedly gulped down a few bites of rice, but his eyes were still fixed on Shao Xingbang opposite him.

Shao Xingbang’s mouth quietly curved into a smile; he knew all too well that the indirect method was most effective.

As long as he could win over the boy, was there any fear that he wouldn’t be able to break through Liang Wei’s defenses in the future?

After dinner, Shao Xingbang said, "Thank you for your hospitality, another day I’ll treat you all to a meal!

I have something to take care of so I’ll leave first! Liang Wei, isn’t your child going to school too? How about I give him a ride on my way?"

Liang Wei was worried about the child’s safety while riding a bicycle on the road, so she always had Cheng Wenfeng walk to school.

This indirectly created an opportunity for Shao Xingbang.

Cheng Wenfeng’s face flushed with excitement; since transferring to this school, only his mother had taken him once, and after that, he had always gone to and from school by himself.

Now, his handsome and spirited uncle was going to drive him to school—what an exhilarating event this was for him.

Who could be without a bit of vanity?

Liang Wei hesitated for a moment, but when she saw her son’s longing and begging eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say no, "Then it’s trouble for you, uncle! Thank you!"

"Why be so polite! Let’s go, then!"

Shao Xingbang led Cheng Wenfeng to the car and opened the door for him, "Get in!"

Cheng Wenfeng smiled shyly and sat in the passenger seat, looking around with curiosity, thinking everything was great.

Shao Xingbang drove steadily; it took just over ten minutes to walk to Cheng Wenfeng’s school from there, even less by car.

He glanced at his wristwatch, "Wenfeng, we’re early! How about I take you for some soda and frozen treats?"

Cheng Wenfeng was about to nod happily in agreement when he immediately remembered his mother’s teachings not to casually accept things from others.

He shook his head vigorously, "Uncle! I...I won’t go! I want to get to the classroom early!"

In his heart, Cheng Wenfeng’s conscience was grappling; he liked his uncle before him and wanted to spend more time with him, but he couldn’t ignore his mother’s words...

Shao Xingbang saw the boy’s awkward struggle and tousled Cheng Wenfeng’s hair, "It won’t take long! Don’t you have a few minutes? I’m telling you, don’t be shy! Actually, I’m the one who’s thirsty and hot! How about we don’t tell your mom, okay?"

Under the gentle caress of his warm hand, Cheng Wenfeng felt a kind of care he had never experienced before and nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Thus, through a few chances, Shao Xingbang completely won Cheng Wenfeng over with his personal charm.

When Shao Xingbang drove back to the garment factory that day, he circled around the plant but didn’t see Liang Wei’s child.

"Liang Wei! Where’s your son?"

Liang Wei scanned around, "He’s probably hiding out back playing somewhere."

She knew her son wasn’t a naughty child who’d run off somewhere.

Shao Xingbang decisively waved his hand, "Alright then! You get on with your work! I’ll go find him!"

Watching Shao Xingbang walk away, Liang Wei’s gaze deepened, and she pursed her lips. She wasn’t a fool; she could discern some of his intentions.

But the gap between them was too great!

He was a man of standing, with excellent conditions, free to choose any girlfriend he wanted!

And she was just an utterly ordinary woman with a child in tow, doing well enough to find a decent older man—how could she possibly be his match?

And that wasn’t even the main point; he was Lu Zheng and Lin Xia’s uncle, differing in seniority!

Shao Xingbang went to the backyard and indeed found Cheng Wenfeng crouching by the wall, head down and looking dejected.

He strode over and asked, "What’s wrong, kiddo?"
