Chapter 185 – My Son is Not mine (part 19)

Liu Tingting and her party went to the beauty salon. Chen Yu was already there waiting. “Why did you guys take so long? I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

“There was a traffic jam and it’s rush hour. I’m sorry. Your older brother has paid for all the expenses today!” Liu Tingting walked over with a smile and gave Chen Yu a hug.

“Come on! Do you think I don’t know? You are holding older sister Li’s card!” Chen Yu said angrily. Her mother found another blind date for her. Her grandmother saw the man and said he was good and asked her to meet him tomorrow.

“You’re going to have a late night supper. Tell me whatever you want to eat!” Liu Tingting said with a smile.

“Don’t want to eat. I’m trying to lose weight!” Chen Yu snorted.

“Older sister Chen Yu!” Yun Yi came up to say hello. “Let’s go in and talk. It’s windy outside!”

Chen Yu looked at Liu Tingting’s stomach and nodded. The three of them went inside.

Ten minutes later, the three were lying there with the beauticians working on their faces. Liu Tingting was pregnant and only chose the most basic facial care. The other two underwent a complete set of whitening and maintenance courses.

Chen Yu sighed. “Tingting, it would be great if you had more unmarried brothers. It would save me so much trouble.”

Liu Tingting also had some regrets. She had two best friends, Chen Yu and Yun Yi. She wanted to have two unmarried, smart and capable brothers suddenly appear, so that she could solve the marriage issues for her best friends! She was living a happy life now and she only worried about her girlfriends.

Yun Yi was a little overjoyed. She had already met her Mr. Right, so she wouldn’t have to go through blind dating! However, Jihao wasn’t that young. Would auntie be in a hurry? She hadn’t told auntie about Jihao and herself. What if auntie was in a hurry and asked him to go on a blind date?

When Yun Yi thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The three of them were quiet for a while.

Liu Tingting felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she asked, “Little Yu, who is your blind date tomorrow?”

“I don’t know. It is said that he is a boss who is a few years younger than me. He is almost thirty. The company has done a good job and is very capable,” Chen Yu said expressionlessly. She didn’t want to go on the blind date. When her mother talked about the other party’s situation, she did not listen carefully. She only remembered one thing, that the other party was the eldest grandson of the Zhao family who had been lost for many years. Although old man Zhao was no longer there, the Zhao family had already spoken, and he would get a share of the property.

Chen Yu’s mother cared not about money, but about the attitude of the Zhao family. For now, the Zhao family was more kind to this long-lost child. If she had a relationship with the Zhao family, then Chen Yu’s father’s career would be much smoother.

So Chen Yu’s mother asked Chen Yu to perform well tomorrow.

The key thing was that grandma had also seen the profile of that person. Apart from his identity, he was really excellent.

So, for tomorrow’s blind date, Chen Yu must go.

Chen Yu felt very helpless. Where did her mother get the confidence that as long as she wanted to, she would definitely succeed?! She was several years older than that Zhao Weicheng. The person surnamed Zhao was so good, why would he fall in love with her? There were so many young and beautiful girls that he could choose from!

Yun Yi kept silent next to her and merely listened to Liu Tingting and Chen Yu discussing the unreasonable phenomenon of why people urged marriage in today’s society.

After returning to the dormitory, it was almost 11. Yun Yi thought about it, took out her cell phone, and sent a message to Lin Jihao. “Are you busy?”

In the next second, Lin Jihao had video called her. “Are you back?”

Yun Yi nodded.

However, Lin Jihao found that Yun Yi’s mood was not good. “What’s the matter? Is there anything bothering you?”

Yun Yi was a little embarrassed, but she wasn’t a stingy person. “Will auntie force you to go on blind dates?”

Lin Jihao was stunned for a while, then laughed. Did she think that Li Su didn’t know about their relationship? No way? How could such a smart person like Yun Yi be so slow on this matter?

Yun Yi was a little annoyed by Lin Jihao’s laugh. “What are you laughing at?!” Yun Yi couldn’t help but ask angrily.

Lin Jihao cleared his throat and held back his laughter. “Do you think my mother doesn’t know about our relationship?”

Yun Yi’s eyes widened. “Does she? Could it be that auntie always knew?”

Lin Jihao smiled. “It wasn’t too early. She knew about it not long after I made up my mind. Don’t worry. She wasn’t unhappy. In fact, she was even very happy. She thought that I was no good in my last life, so I could only find you in this life. I also want to cherish you and not scare you away.”

Only then did Yun Yi’s anxious heart settle down. Auntie was her benefactor, and she was the person she least wanted to disappoint and sadden in her life. “Is that true? Auntie is really not unhappy?”

“Do you want me to let her tell you personally?” Lin Jihao was still a little bit intrigued. Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a harmonious relationship, it was not a good thing for a girlfriend to value her mother-in-law more than herself.

“No need! No need!” Yun Yi quickly refused. She wasn’t ready yet!

Lin Jihao stopped teasing her. “Don’t worry. I promised you that when you want to make it public, you can make it public. You don’t have to care about others.”

Yun Yi felt a slightly sweet feeling in her heart. “Mm, thank you.”

Lin Jihao laughed softly, and the two chatted for a while. Yun Yi was relieved and quickly fell asleep under Lin Jihao’s urging.

Lin Jihao put down his phone, looked at the news photos on the computer screen. He smiled.

Zhao Weicheng, hehe!

Lin Jihao and Yun Yi attended the charity dinner the next day. This was the first time that Yun Yi had attended such an occasion. After a short period of nervousness, Yun Yi quickly adapted. She stayed behind Lin Jihao and chatted with people with all kinds of backgrounds.

“Who is that person? Isn’t it a bit strange?! Yo, the person next to him is the young master of the Zhao family!”

“Could it be the legendary young master of the Zhao family who was separated for many years? I heard that he has already recognised his ancestors.”

“He is apparently two years older than the eldest son. What do you think of the fact that the eldest son of the Zhao family, who has been the eldest son for more than 20 years, is suddenly now the second young master…”

“What nonsense! Are you not afraid of offending young master Zhao? They are just cousins!”

Yun Yi followed the voice and looked over. It was older sister Chen Yu and Li Chaoyang! She was a little surprised and quickly looked at Lin Jihao.

Lin Jihao patted her hand reassuringly, signalling to her to not be nervous. Then, he walked towards Zhao Weining with Yun Yi and stretched out his hand. “I didn’t expect Director Zhao to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the charity dinner. It’s really an honor.”

Zhao Weining and Lin Jihao shook hands, then Zhao Weining glanced at Yun Yi. “Who is this?”

Lin Jihao said softly, “This is Yun Yi, my colleague. Yun Yi, this is Director Zhao of the Administration for Industry and Commerce.”

Zhao Weining looked back at his cousin meaningfully. It seemed that this Yun Yi was already dating Lin Jihao. “I haven’t introduced you yet…”

“No need! We know each other!” Zhao Weicheng, the former Li Chaoyang, suddenly took his hand from Chen Yu’s and reached out to Yun Yi. “Yun Yi, we meet again!”

Yun Yi looked at Lin Jihao. She reached out awkwardly. Zhao Weicheng grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

Lin Jihao smiled calmly and separated the two with his body. “We haven’t seen each other for a few years. I didn’t expect to see you again today. Should I call you President Li or President Zhao?”

Zhao Weicheng didn’t speak. He watched Yun Yi hide behind Lin Jihao. “The name is just a title. Whatever makes Chairman Lin happy.”

Chen Yu came over. “Weicheng, Chairman Lin, Yun Yi, do you know each other?”

Yun Yi was a little embarrassed. Could it be that older sister Chen Yu’s blind date was Li Chaoyang? Why had he changed his last name? What exactly was going on?

Lin Jihao lowered his head and said softly, “I’ll explain it to you later. Don’t worry, it’s alright.”

Yun Yi nodded and her expression relaxed a little.

Zhao Weicheng saw the interaction between them and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Weining saw this and smiled slightly. “Since we all know each other, that’s fine. In the future, I’ll have to ask Chairman Lin to look after him.”

Lin Jihao smiled. “President Zhao is young and promising. I don’t think I’ll need to look after him. Instead, I’ll have to ask Mr. Zhao for his care.”

Zhao Weicheng didn’t speak, he just smiled disdainfully. He was no longer the person who didn’t understand anything five years ago and just rushed forward with a passion. After working hard in the south for so many years, he had experienced many setbacks and almost lost everything several times. Back then, he had thought that he had a great destiny ordained by god, and that he was blessed with good luck!

A month ago, the Zhao family sent someone to find him, saying that he might be their long-lost child. The final DNA test results also confirmed this. At that time, he was even more certain that he had a great destiny ordained by god! Even though his grandfather and parents were gone, he had the Zhao family. This identity alone could bring him a lot of things.

He thought at the time that he might have the capital to compete with Lin Jihao. Just when he was in high spirits and was about to return to the capital, he accidentally discovered that his good brother was actually in contact with the Zhao family. Having been in the business world for many years, Zhao Weicheng had long become suspicious, but he had never doubted his good brother. After all, his good brother was the one who took him south, and had never betrayed him in the past few years no matter how difficult it got.

But what is it that was in front of him?

Zhao Weicheng rushed to his good brother and asked him what was going on.

The other party told him a cruel truth.

It turned out that the Zhao family knew about his existence five years ago, but deliberately tricked him into going to the south. His so-called good brother was here to spy on him.

It was not until his grandfather passed away that the Zhao family found him and asked him to recognise his ancestors and return to the clan!

“Chaoyang, I’ll apologise to you. But it’s only natural for people to die for the sake of money. My family is waiting for me abroad, and I’m going to look for them. We probably won’t see each other again in the future. For the sake of our brotherhood, I would like to ask you one last thing. Don’t think about arguing with the eldest young master. You can’t compete with him. Don’t blame them. I don’t know why they don’t want you to go back so early. The people standing behind him don’t want you to go back and break the current peace of the Zhao family. To tell you the truth, even if you went back five years ago and had the support of old man Zhao, you would not have been able to compete. The Zhao family is no longer the Zhao family of old man Zhao. If you want to be good, then give up those thoughts! You can’t compete!”

It took Zhao Weicheng a whole week to digest those words
