Chapter 361 A Small Test - Part 1: Wen Zizhou
Upon arriving at Shanquan Town, Song Youqing dismounted from the carriage, unable to describe his feelings.
He arrived at Baiweizhai as instructed by Li Yunwan and was quite satisfied to see that there were almost no empty seats inside.
The letter said that the kid manages a successful restaurant, so he must be quite smart.
He stepped inside, and Wen Zizhou, seeing that he was well-dressed, began to recommend, "Is this your first time here, sir? We have..."
Song Youqing listened attentively, his eyes filled with admiration, but he frowned slightly as he glanced at the man's physique.
Has he lost weight? Is he really that tough?
His daughter sometimes likes to practice martial arts, and he's really worried that she won't find someone strong and capable.
Lost in thought, Wen Zizhou finished speaking and, seeing him looking a little dazed, asked, "Sir, are you upstairs or downstairs?"
Song Youqing snapped out of his daze and smiled at him, "Since you've already made a recommendation, then find me a private room upstairs."
"Alright!" Wen Zizhou replied and had someone take him upstairs.
Song Chengguan glanced back at Wen Zizhou in front of the counter; the little boy's eyes were bright.
After serving the dishes and carrying the cutting board down, the waiter leaned close to Wen Zizhou and whispered, "Manager, that gentleman was really strange just now."
He stroked his chin thoughtfully and recounted what had just happened.
When Wen Zizhou heard that Song Youqing had been asking him about his family, he suddenly became sleazy again.
"Isn't this perfectly normal? Your boss is dashing and debonair!"
"Who knows, maybe they're asking because they want to push their daughters onto me?"
The waiter's eyes lit up, but Wen Zizhou slapped him on the head. "What are you thinking, kid! I'm taken now!"
Thinking of Song Tingwan, a smile appeared on his lips. He thought that after finishing this busy period around noon, he would have to go to the jewelry shop.
Although Song Tingwan wasn't interested in these things, he still wanted to buy them; these were essential for a young lady.
Song Tingwan sneezed, and Li Yunwan, who was shopping with her, couldn't help but tease, "Zizhou must be missing you. It's only been a short time since you left, and he's already thinking about you."
She guessed that Song Youqing had arrived by now, and the two of them had agreed not to tell anyone.
Song Youqing should first test Wen Zizhou; if he passes, the matter of the two children will be settled.
Song Tingwan blushed slightly at her teasing. As she passed a jewelry shop, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the hairpin in her hair.
"Wanniang, let's go inside and take a look."
She pulled Li Yunwan inside, thinking that she should also buy something to give to Wen Zizhou.
In the private room on the second floor, Song Chengguan couldn't wait any longer. He stood up, walked to the door, and asked, "Father, when are we going down to test my brother-in-law?"
He had barely finished speaking when Song Youqing glared at him and said, "Go away! What brother-in-law?"
"It's still very early stages, so whether it can withstand the test is another matter."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, having already inquired about everything he needed to know.
To be honest, he was also quite looking forward to seeing how that kid would react.
The father and son went downstairs, and there weren't many people left. Song Youqing gave his son a wink.
Song Cheng nodded, and after settling the bill, he said to Wen Zizhou with a serious expression, "Big brother, I have an older sister at home who is beautiful and has a good temper. Do you want her?"
“My family has money, and we also own restaurants and shops. If you were with my older sister…”
Song Chengguan chattered on about those tempting conditions, and Wen Zizhou listened with great interest without interrupting.
Seeing how attentively he was listening, Song Youqing began to deduct points from his score in her mind.
Hmph! A good man should have refused the moment he heard the first sentence!
Wen Zizhou's mind wandered halfway through the conversation, because he was thinking about buying Song Tingwan another dress later.
He thought and thought but couldn't come up with anything suitable, and then he recalled the styles of clothes Song Tingwan had been wearing these past few days.
After thinking for a while, he finally decided what kind to buy, and suddenly blurted out, "Excellent!"
Just then, Song Chengguan finished speaking and asked, "What do you think, big brother?"
The three of them were stunned. Song Youqing snorted coldly, his face displeased, while Wen Zizhou found him inexplicable.
Song Chengguan's smiling face suddenly fell, and his lips pursed into a straight line.
A man who can be hooked so easily is not worthy of his older sister!
He thought this older brother was good-looking when he came in, but now he looks extremely ugly!
Song Youqing shared the same thought; he felt the same way when he first read the letter.
What can you rely on about a guy who looks like a pretty boy?
His daughter is too naive; that's why she was fooled by this guy's appearance!
For a moment, the father and son, one big and one small, both looked at Wen Zizhou with displeasure.
Wen Zizhou pointed to his nose and asked the two men, "Did I just say something I shouldn't have said that displeased you two gentlemen?"
The father and son both shook their heads, and Wen Zizhou was puzzled.
"Then why are you doing this?"
He looked at the two of them and thought for a moment. He hadn't taken the wrong amount of money, and he had given them everything he was supposed to. The service was also very attentive. Where did things go wrong?
Song Chengguan assumed he was feigning ignorance, took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and said, "Just now, my elder brother said he was willing to marry my elder sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zizhou jumped back as if he had encountered a venomous snake, his face filled with terror. "When did I say that?! Don't try to extort me!"
After saying that, he looked warily at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, as if they were about to snatch him away in broad daylight.
"You just said it was excellent, did we mishear you?"
Song Youqing wished he could rush up and beat Wen Zizhou up right now, but he was afraid his daughter would blame him if she found out.
I'm worried he'll run away from home again; I'm so anxious about it every day.
Wen Zizhou was speechless for a moment, then shrugged helplessly and explained:
"What I just said was excellent; I've thought about what kind of clothes to buy for the woman I admire."
"As for what you said..."
He looked at Song Chengguan, grinned, and continued, "Little brother, I already have someone I love, someone I adore."
Whether your older sister is beautiful or ugly is none of my business, and even if your family has mountains of gold and silver, it's none of my concern.
After he finished speaking, Song Youqing and his son were stunned, especially Song Youqing.
In his letter, Li Yunwan told him that Wen Zizhou loved money more than anything, and he felt that what Song Chengguan had just said was enough to tempt him.
If he agrees, it would be like giving him money for free and also getting a rich man's daughter along with it.
Unexpectedly, the "excellent" that Wen Zizhou spoke of was not what they thought.
The father and son exchanged a glance, neither knowing what to say for a moment.
Wen Zizhou should settle the bill for the last table first, then look at the hourglass behind him and it'll be lunchtime.
"I'm so sorry, is there anything I can help you with?"
"If I don't have any, I'll have to close down and buy some for my future wife..."
“Father! Cheng Guan!” His words were interrupted by a surprised voice. Song Youqing turned his head and saw that it was Song Tingwan, whom he had not seen for a long time. He felt his eyes well up with tears.
