Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Is That So? Cousin
Tong Yao nodded, her face glowing with fortune, "My parents really put a lot of thought into me; without them, I might have missed out on Ahchen."
If it weren’t for Tong Yaohui helping the main character find Si Chen, no one would know where she’d be after being struck by lightning. Maybe she would’ve ended up in hell.
Where would her current good life come from?
Tong Yao had been alone and friendless in her previous life, but in this life, she had family, friends, and a lover. She was quite satisfied with her current life, and as for Si Xiaohui and Lin Fengying, she didn’t care about them too much.
As long as Ahchen loves her and is on her side, that’s all that matters.
Deng Wenwen brown-nosed, "Uncle Tong really has an eye for talents. I should please him more in the future so he can introduce me to a good man. Seeing you both being so happy, I wish I were in a relationship too!"
Without thinking too much, Tong Yao casually responded, "Why look too far when love is near. I think Hongwei is great. If you two are meant to be, you’ll have a happy future together."
"I also think Hongwei is a pretty good guy. He’s not bad-looking either, you two would be well-matched." Wang Chun often came to see Tong Yao and, although she didn’t talk to Gu Hongwei much, she thought he was honest. She also heard from Tong Yao about some things about him—he was ambitious and sensible. A good man indeed.
"Gu Hongwei is just a man of few words. Besides, he is a college student with good grades and a bright future. How can I be a match for him?" Deng Wenwen had a favorable impression of Gu Hongwei, knowing that he was a good person, but after her experience with Zhou Lei, she didn’t want to date another college student.
Better to find someone of the same social status to live with! To avoid being despised.
She didn’t want her genuine feelings to be wasted again.
Tong Yao blinked and coquettishly said, "Hongwei and Zhou Lei are different; they’ll lead different paths in life. If you can make Hongwei fall for you, he will never leave you because of education issues."
Tong Yao might not have been good at evaluating people, but she had known Gu Hongwei for a while, and understood some things about him.
"I think Hongwei is more handsome than Zhou Lei, just a man of few words." Wang Chun seconded from the side.
Deng Wenwen had always known that Gu Hongwei was a good person, but she didn’t have any other thoughts about him. But after being praised by Tong Yao and Wang Chun, she suddenly felt a little moved, her face turned slightly red, and she shyly covered her face.
"You two are so mean, making fun of me. I’m not going to talk to you anymore."
Just then, someone came into the shop to buy milk tea, and she hurriedly ran to the counter to get busy. Tong Yao and Wang Chun couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.
Honestly, even though they were joking just now, if Deng Wenwen and Gu Hongwei are indeed together, they would be quite a match. Both are around the same age, their quiet and active personalities complement each other. But when it comes to feelings, it’s all about fate; no one can predict. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
In her past life, Gu Hongwei didn’t get married till he was an old man. It was said that it was because of her that he didn’t get married, but Tong Yao thought this was impossible. There had to be some hidden reason behind it, or perhaps it was just the media making things up for clicks.
Gu Hongwei had a good moral compass; he wouldn’t covet another man’s wife. She wasn’t a flirtatious person either, so it was either the media creating hype that or there was some unknown story behind it.
Tong Yao was so engrossed in her thoughts that it was not until the air milk tea customer had left that she remembered the roasted chestnuts in her hand. Deng Wenwen and Wang Chun were very happy to hear that they had roasted chestnuts to eat. The three women chatted, ate, and drank milk tea in the shop, having a grand time.
Wang Chun stayed in the shop till after 4 p.m., and as she was leaving, she arranged to meet with Tong Yao to go shopping the next day.
Shortly after she left, Tong Yao also returned to the residential quarters ahead of schedule. When Si Chen got off work, she told him about Si Xiaohui’s visit and incidentally mentioned something about Song Yu.
However, they all thought that Song Yu had returned to Li City, so no one took it to heart.
After a good night’s sleep, early the next morning, Tong Yao met Wang Chun in the shop, and the two of them went to the new mall location of Tong Yao’s shop. They went shopping and checked on the shop in the meantime.
Little did they know that they’d run into an acquaintance. Wang Chun greeted with politeness and ease, "Nurse Lin, what a coincidence, you’re here shopping too!"
Lin Man was dressed differently from the way Wang Chun had seen her before. Wang Chun hardly recognized her.
"What a coincidence indeed!" Lin Man didn’t expect to run into Wang Chun and Tong Yao. After being startled for a second, she laughed, "Mrs. Wang, you should stop calling me Nurse Lin from now on. I have resigned and am no longer a nurse. I’m considering a career change."
Having said that, she looked at Tong Yao and intentionally or unintentionally flaunted the clothing bag in her hand. There was a faint smirk on her face.
Tong Yao was indeed attracted to the bag in her hand. Lin Man was holding a bag with a white down jacket in it, which seemed to be the white down jacket that she wanted to buy last time, but couldn’t afford to spend the money on.
The down jacket cost 700 yuan, Lin Man just started working not long ago, according to her income, she should not be able to afford it. How could she buy such an expensive dress as soon as she resigned?
Wang Chun didn’t pay much attention, when she heard that Lin Man was no longer a nurse, she apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know you resigned. Miss Lin, what job did you switch to?"
"Not at all." Lin Man shook her head with a smile. Unlike the first time she had dinner with Wang Chun, when she intentionally tried to please her, this time she seemed to deliberately elevate herself, "I haven’t decided what to do yet, I might take a break for a while. Being a nurse before was just a way for my family to toughen me up and curb my temper."
Having said that, she turned to Tong Yao and intentionally said, "Isn’t that right, cousin?"
"Cousin?" Wang Chun looked at Tong Yao in bewilderment.
Tong Yao didn’t expect Lin Man to suddenly call her cousin. She was stunned for two seconds, but quickly responded. "Our families don’t communicate anymore, I can’t accept the title cousin from you."
Having said that, she took Wang Chun’s hand and walked away from Lin Man.
Lin Man turned her head to watch the two of them leave. Her smile faded.
Damn it, just now when she saw Wang Chun, she felt a little guilty. It was the feeling of stealing something and running into the thing’s owner.
Not only guilty, but standing in front of Wang Chun, she also felt a little inferior.
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, the truth was that she wasn’t as graceful as Wang Chun.
Even though she tried her best to dress herself up, she didn’t have the natural high-class aura that Wang Chun did.
