Chapter 1567 - 1035: Helping Out (Part 3)
"Are you two looking for me?" Zhu Jianwen looked at the two people staring at him woodenly, puzzled. He was at work, delivering a message that someone was looking for him, and this was the scene he walked into.
"Zhou Mikang, why are you hiding here?" Chuxia, snapping back to reality, put on an indignant act, "My mom and I were worried about you at home. Dad claimed you were in a special situation and couldn’t inform us. If we trusted him, we’d be fooled by dad for sure!"
"Excuse me... what do you mean?" Zhu Jianwen looked at Chuxia puzzled, baffled also by his own reaction, surprisingly not bothered by her questioning!
"Still pretending?" Chuxia rubbed her forehead speechlessly, "Don’t use amnesia as an excuse to dismiss me!"
Zhu Jianwen looked at Chuxia seriously, "Comrade, you really have the wrong person. I’m not Zhou Mikang, I’m Zhu Jianwen, the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Grade 10."
"Still pretending..." Chuxia took a photo out of her bag and handed it to him, "Look at this, keep making stories, let’s see if you can make it into something fabulous.
Zhou Mikang, you really know how to talk, saying you want to work hard to support the three of us, yet you go hiding and we don’t even see your face. You didn’t even attend the Hundred Days Old celebration of your child, isn’t that too much?
If you really have another woman out there, tell me straightforwardly. If Lin Chuxia refuses to let go and doesn’t divorce, I’d be a pig!"
Looking at the person in the photo, Zhu Jianwen was stunned too, this... this was too scary, right?
The man in the photo was clearly him, but he could confirm he never wore a military uniform for such a photo. If it were some other clothes, maybe he would believe it was him.
After quite a while, he stumbled, "No, you really have the wrong person. Though the photo person looks like me, it’s truly not me. I wanted to join the army, but my parents didn’t allow it, so I had to give up. Wearing a military uniform for a photo was my biggest wish, sadly, I’m not qualified."
"Really?" Chuxia made a questioning look to Lin Yanqiu, who just snapped back to reality, "Mom, Zhou Mikang wouldn’t pretend like this, maybe we really have the wrong person?"
"Impossible!" Lin Yanqiu grabbed Zhu Jianwen’s hand, "You are my son, my biological son!"
"Auntie Comrade, don’t... don’t be like this..." Zhu Jianwen’s face turned beet red, struggling to free his hand, "This is a public place, please don’t do this, alright?"
"Xiaomi, you can’t do this..." With full clarity, Lin Yanqiu skillfully changed the subject, "Even if you’re busy and have special circumstances, you shouldn’t neglect your wife and child. If someone hadn’t seen you here, we’d still be in the dark."
"Auntie, please... don’t make it difficult for me..." Zhu Jianwen was on the verge of tears. If his mother were unkind, the photo might stir some thoughts, but no friend’s mom has ever treated him as well as his mom does. So, he believes without any doubt, he must not have any second thoughts!
"How would mom give you a hard time?" Lin Yanqiu looked at him with disappointment, "Saying that makes mom really sad!"
"Comrade, if you keep this up, I’ll have to call security..." Zhu Jianwen was frustrated, "The students are out of class, what you’re doing is really not good!"
"You... you’re really not Xiaomi?" Lin Yanqiu examined him suspiciously, "But you look exactly like my son, do you believe two people can look so alike in this world?"
"I didn’t believe it before, but now..." Zhu Jianwen smiled wryly, spreading his hands, "Whether I believe it or not, I have to now since the photo in your hand is proof."
"Then..." Lin Yanqiu hesitated and looked at him, "Can we find a place to have a detailed chat? I’m not intentionally making things difficult for you. I just want to figure out the truth, in the name of a mother who misses her son daily, please help, alright?"
He wanted to say no, but seeing Lin Yanqiu and Chuxia’s expectant faces, Zhu Jianwen had to nod in agreement, leading them to the small meeting room. Out of his sight, Lin Yanqiu gave her daughter-in-law a thumbs up — she was superb, some things weren’t explicitly said, yet her daughter-in-law knew what to do!(To be continued.
