Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Are You Really Zhao Wenkai’s Cousin?

"I am not Zhao Wenkai, but his cousin Zhao Wenyu." Zhao Wenyu said, "Auntie, you first come with me to the restaurant and let me know what exactly happened. If it was really my cousin who involved in this, I will make him take responsibility."

Tong Xiangqiao was instantly relieved and abruptly sat up, even speaking to the onlookers: "Don’t gather any more, disperse! There’s no more drama to watch."

However, Lin Jinwu was full of doubt about Zhao Wenyu’s identity. If Zhao Wenyu was indeed Zhao Wenkai’s cousin, he undoubtedly would not be on their side. But now, with nobody coming out from inside, making a fuss would be pointless. Instead, they could just watch what trick Zhao Wenyu was going to pull.

Zhao Wenyu observed that the two were dressed modestly, implying they weren’t rich. So, he casually chose a teahouse and sat down. Tong Xiangqiao expressed some disgust, "Why are we in a teahouse? We are not tea drinkers."

With Zhao Wenyu’s appearance akin to a shop owner, she thought he might bring them to a grand restaurant. Unbeknownst to her, they chose to settle for a teahouse; who on earth would come here when there’s tea at home?

"It’s quiet here, suitable to chat and discuss matters," replied Zhao Wenyu.

Even though Tong Xiangqiao wasn’t too thrilled, she didn’t say anything more, "Are you really Zhao Wenkai’s cousin?"

Zhao Wenyu nodded, "Yes, my name is Zhao Wenyu. This is my business card."

Lin Jinwu took a glance at the card and conveyed to Tong Xiangqiao, "His name is Zhao Wenyu." As to whether he is Zhao Wenkai’s cousin was unclear.

Tong Xiangqiao, however, didn’t ponder much and was firm that Zhao Wenyu was Zhao Wenkai’s cousin. She slammed the table and said, "Since you are his cousin, things have become easier. Call him over, we want to talk to him. He took advantage of my daughter, and still hasn’t proposed marriage. What does that mean?"

"Are you sure your daughter is connected with my cousin?" Zhao Wenyu saw the couple’s ragged appearance and doubted their claim, "Could it be a case of mistaken identity?"

Despite Zhao Wenyu hoping that Zhao Wenkai was fooling around, he always felt that Zhao Wenkai’s taste would not be this poor, choosing a daughter from this kind of family.

According to Zhao Wenkai’s character, even if he did not choose a woman from a better family background than the Wang Family, at least he’d find a woman from a similarly affluent family.

There are many renowned ladies in Kyoto; anyone he’d randomly pick would be a hundred times better than their family. Judging by the looks of this couple, their daughter couldn’t be extraordinarily gorgeous.

"What mistaken identity? My daughter clearly told me, with abosulte certainty that it is Zhao Wenkai." In order to make Zhao Wenyu believe she had not mistaken the person, Tong Xiangqiao directly questioned, "Let me ask you, isn’t his wife unable to bear children?"

Zhao Wenyu lit up, "You even know this?"

"See, I told you I didn’t get the wrong person! Now call Zhao Wenkai here and discuss when he should marry my daughter. If the matter can be settled, let’s be relatives, otherwise we will report him to the police for rape." Tong Xiangqiao held her chin up, as if she wasn’t intending to let the matter rest until it was resolved.

Chen Jinwu also chimed in, "Our family are all honest folk, but that doesn’t mean we can be bullied. If Zhao Wenkai genuinely likes Manman, and the two families become in-laws, we wouldn’t mind. But if he plans to evade responsibility, that’s unacceptable. How is our innocent daughter, tarnished like this, supposed to find a husband?"

"What’s your daughter’s name?" Zhao Wenyu’s attention was drawn towards the name ’Manman’ which Chen Jinwu used - it sounded familiar to him.

"My daughter’s name is Lin Man." Tong Xiangqiao took over the conversation, proudly saying, "Don’t look down on us because we are poor. Our family may not be rich like yours, but my daughter is a college graduate, beautiful, virtuous, and intelligent. She used to be a nurse in the First Hospital."

In the eyes of a parent, their child is always the best. This saying is most applicable to Tong Xiangqiao. Even though they barely had any savings, she still considers Lin Man as outstanding.

Aside from anything else, the mere fact that her daughter could get into college already made her superior to many others.

"Oh, so your daughter is Lin Man?" Zhao Wenyu appeared to have discovered something new and couldn’t help but smirk.

Turns out, Zhao Wenkai was involved with the small nurse who took care of his father. If he wasn’t mistaken, the two got hooked up from then, right?

At first, he suspected the authenticity of the couple’s words, fearing that they might be swindlers. But now, it seemed very real.

He initially thought Zhao Wenkai loved Wang Chun so much but, on the contrary, he was just like any other man - there is no truly faithful cat.

Zhao Wenkai dared to cheat behind Wang Chun’s back; the Wang Family would undoubtedly not let him off easy. Just this instance was enough to give Zhao Wenkai a headache for quite some time, let alone celebrating the Lunar New Year in peace.

"Do you know my daughter?" Tong Xiangqiao and Chen Jinwu saw Zhao Wenyu’s reaction and couldn’t help but become suspicious.

Did Zhao Wenyu hold grudges against Lin Man?

Zhao Wenyu suppressed his emotional curiosity and laughed, "Auntie, it’s quite a coincidence. Your daughter used to take care of my dad when he was hospitalized. If I’m not mistaken, they got acquainted then. Here’s what we will do! You go home and wait for my news. I will go talk to my cousin and we will definitely give you an outcome. You leave a contact number or address and I will get in touch with you when the time comes, or you can contact me on the number written on my business card."

Tong Xiangqiao quickly gave her home address and excitedly asked, "Since my daughter has taken care of your father, she is somewhat kind to your family, you have to speak well with your cousin when the time comes. I heard his wife isn’t willing to bear children. What’s the use of keeping her around? Our Lin Man was previously a nurse and has excellent health, she is sure to take good care of her child."

"Then, you wait for my news, and contact me if anything happens. Before I contact you, do not take hasty actions," said Zhao Wenyu as he got up, finished giving his instructions and then left.

When Zhao Wenyu left the teahouse, Tong Xiangqiao came back to her senses. They had been here for quite some time neither had tea, nor was any matter resolved. Furthermore, they were tricked into going home.

"Old Lin, you think he’s trying to keep us stable first?" Tong Xiangqiao was a bit unsettled, fearing they had been tricked.

Lin Jinwu thought for a while, "Let’s first wait for a couple of days, if there’s no news, we could always seek them out."

Their goal was to merge the families, not to make enemies. Making a big fuss wouldn’t help. Let’s just believe what Zhao Wenyu said and wait for a couple of days.

Both of them talked and happily returned home. They planned to discuss the matter of Lin Man’s marriage with Zhao Wenkai, but as soon as she heard it, Lin Man lost her temper.

"Dad, Mom, have you two gone mad? How could you make such a big decision without consulting me first?"

Lin Man was furious, she couldn’t believe her parents would do such an absurd thing.

Who was Zhao Wenkai?

Was he someone who would be threatened so easily?
