Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Seeing Lin Man’s anger, Tong Xiangqiao’s face quickly turned sour, and she became unhappy herself. "Did you discuss any of what you’ve done with us? Who do you think your father and I are doing this for if not for you? As a young unmarried woman, if you act this way, who would want you if Zhao Wenkai doesn’t?"

"You think doing this would scare others into marrying me?" Lin Man shouted back: "How can an ordinary family like ours fight with Zhao Wenkai? If we anger him, none of us will have a good life. Moreover, you think Zhao Wenyu is a good person? He was the one who hit me in the first place. If he hadn’t, none of this would have happened. And you’re oblivious to the fact that you’re being used."

"It was him who hit you?" Tong Xiangqiao was stunned, "Isn’t he Zhao Wenkai’s cousin?"

Lin Man replied, "Tong Yao is my cousin and look at us; neither of us wants to see the other."

Tong Xiangqiao became flustered, "What should we do now? He already knows our address and even left us his business card."

"I wanted to stop you at the time, but you were so quick to blurt out our home address." Lin Jinwu shifted the blame entirely onto Tong Xiangqiao, blaming her for being too quick to speak and making a mess of everything.

"You two are never successful but always manage to make things worse. If Zhao Wenkai becomes really angry, all he has to do is lift a finger, and we’ll have nowhere to live in Kyoto. We will all be driven out of the city." To prevent them from causing more trouble, Lin Man deliberately tried to scare them with her words.

The scare put a terror into Tong Xiangqiao, and her voice even trembled when she asked, "What should we do now?"

Lin Man shot Tong Xiangqiao an annoyed glance, "Why don’t you make a scene elsewhere and let the whole world know that I’m Zhao Wenkai’s mistress?"

"But don’t you see that I’m doing this for your own good?" Tong Xiangqiao said defensively. Indeed, she had failed to fully consider the consequences of her actions, but she was doing everything for her daughter’s sake!
