Chapter 715: 721 Is she your mom?_1

On Lin Xiangwan’s recommendation, the two middle-aged patrons tasted a surprise delight, both expressing how good the food was.

Especially the lady who seemed to be particularly wealthy. "This dish is quite good. I left for the USA a long time ago and have lived abroad for many years. Every time I see news about home, this particular dish is mentioned. I’ve always wanted to try it and it certainly lives up to its reputation!"

"Thank you for your kind words. Actually, our eatery has developed many other tasty snacks. Do drop by to give them a try whenever you have time," Lin Xiangwan continued to give her recommendations.

"Hmm..." the woman nodded tentatively.

Lin Xiangwan brought over two delicately packed boxes and offered them to the lady. "These are freshly-made desserts we just prepared. They are made with all-natural ingredients and consuming them regularly can boost your health. Sir, ma’am, you can try them at home!"

The woman was surprised. "There’s a complimentary gift!"

"Yes!"

The woman smiled. "Then, I will accept it."

"Thank you!"

Just as Lin Xiangwan was handing the boxes over, a small pendant on her platinum necklace slipped off. The pendant was an ordinary heart-shaped trinket, not made of gold or platinum but silver.

Though it was silver, it was meticulously polished.

The woman noticed it and looked startled, as if she’d got a shock.

It was only a few seconds later that Lin Xiangwan realized this woman kept staring at her chest.

She looked down at herself.

It was only then that the woman awkwardly diverted her gaze, and laughed before asking, "Why are you wearing a silver pendant on a platinum necklace? Does it have any special significance?"

Lin Xiangwan touched her pendant and smiled. "Oh, it’s something I think my mother left me..."

"Oh..."

The man grew impatient. "Let’s go!"

The woman nodded. "Sure!"

Lin Xiangwan kindly saw them out.

Upon their departure, the cashier asked, "Sister Lin, this lady seemed to recognize your pendant. Could she be your mom?"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "Impossible, she seems to be quite wealthy. There’s no way she could be my mother!"

"You never know!"

"Nah, I think my mom would be a very ordinary woman, certainly not like that!" Lin Xiangwan shook her head, dismissing the idea.

"What about the look in her eyes? It seemed like she was in shock!"

"It’s an old trinket. She probably found it familiar." Lin Xiangwan felt this was a reasonable explanation.

Back in the 80s and 90s, heart-shaped pendants were very common and everybody loved them.

All women, young and old, would have had one. The wealthy ones would have gold while the less affluent would have copper or silver ones.

The cashier seemed worried for her boss. "Sister Lin, why don’t you try finding your mom on TV? Maybe you would have some luck!"

She shook her head. "I avoid publicity. Appearing on TV is simply embarrassing."

TV?

Haha, how could she forget to check the latest news? Zhou Ziqing’s issue should be causing quite a stir on the internet today, right?

As she was surveying various reports and netizen’s comments vilifying the mistress and digging into Xu Feng’e’s past on her phone, she was in high spirits.

The cashier was also scrolling through her phone and exclaimed, "Sister, no wonder you haven’t been coming to the store recently. The Qin family seems to be in a mess! Your mother-in-law must be regretting inviting that vixen into the house, right?"

Lin Xiangwan chuckled. "This is reaping what you sow!"

This incident was a stark reminder; it’s always good to do the right thing and be a good person because you never know when you might trip up.

"Hehe, but honestly, your father-in-law is quite handsome. Even though he’s over sixty, he still gives off a dandy vibe."

"Yes, he’s a true playboy. In the old days, he would have been a flirtatious young nobleman. What are they called? Ah, Bello Lord!" Lin Xiangwan laughed as she gave her conclusion.

No doubt, that kind of charm probably took a few generations to perfect!

"Yes, he looks like a man in his forties. Sister, what is your father-in-law like as a person?" the cashier continued to ask.

Lin Xiangwan thought for a moment. "Well, my husband’s father, I wouldn’t say he is bad. He’s not cruel or anything. He’s just irresponsible and likes to have fun. As long as he has money and enjoys his life, he doesn’t seem to care about anything else!"

As for his children, he’s sometimes quite good to them, buying them things and taking them out to play.

But that’s only when he’s in the mood, most of the time, he’s out enjoying life.

He loves money but doesn’t really have a knack for making it, hence borrowing or conning others is quite common for him.

"Sister, how did your father-in-law produce a man like your brother-in-law? They are nothing alike at all, completely opposites in fact."

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "Apart from their appearances, my husband and his father are nothing alike."

"Maybe they aren’t biological father and son," the cashier said softly.

Lin Xiangwan’s eyes widened. "..."

"I got it right, didn’t I?"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "No, that’s impossible. I believe my mother-in-law is a good person and wouldn’t do such a thing. Besides, my husband and father-in-law do resemble each other!"

"Oh, maybe then he inherited his mother’s character!"

"Yeah, maybe!"

Just then, the door swung open with a loud creak followed by a formidable voice. "Lin Xiangwan! You treacherous sneak, did you think I wouldn’t find you if you hid here?"

Zhou Ziqing, wearing an oversized pair of sunglasses, barged in and started cursing at Lin Xiangwan.

However, Lin Xiangwan had already prepared herself. Unaffected, she replied calmly, "Zhou Ziqing, barging into my shop and throwing accusations around is rather unjustified, don’t you think?"

"Unjustified? You clearly set me up. It was you who had me tailed and fed the media with my photos, wasn’t it?" Zhou Ziqing vehemently questioned.

"I’ve done no such thing!" Lin Xiangwan turned her cheek. "If you don’t trust me, you can call the cops and let them investigate!"

"If it wasn’t you, then who was it?"

"I wouldn’t know. But you can’t simply accuse an innocent person, can you? You seduced my husband and I didn’t reciprocate. Now that you seduced his father, why would I bother harming you? I’m not that petty!"

"What about yesterday? You don’t deny the journalist’s intrusion into the Qin house was your doing, do you? Without you, they wouldn’t have been able to get in!"

"I didn’t!"

Lin Xiangwan continued to deny. She wasn’t the type of person who refused to acknowledge her actions, but Muchuan was right, she couldn’t act recklessly.

Because if the children were put in danger, what would she do?
