"Who is she?" The girl asked before her mum could speak.

"Xiaotian, meet my best friend and sister Yang Zi and Zi Er, this is Jin Xiaotian. She is Fei's little sister," Shui Shui quickly did the introduction when she saw how anxious her little soon to be sister-in-law was.

​​

"Hi, Miss Yang, I have heard so many awesome remarks about you from Sister Shui Shui. It is so nice to finally meet you," Xiaotian said as she hugged Yang Zi.

Yang Zi was a little taken aback by her action but she did not let it show. She just patted the girl's hair before she pulled away.

They all walked towards where Mrs Jin was sitting.

"Mother, this is my best friend Yang Zi and Zi Er, this is Xiaofei's mother Jin Bichen," Shui Shui introduced. Jin Xiaofei just let Shui Shui make the introduction since she was the one who started it.

Her name is Jin Bichen, why does the name sound so familiar? I mean even the name Jin Xiaofei and Xiaotian sounds familiar. If I did not remember incorrectly I think Uncle's children's names were Xiaotian and Xiaofei. Am I being paranoid or just overthinking?

Yang Zi thought as she took a proper view of the lady's face.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Shui Shui couldn't stop singing your praises after your first meeting. I admit she wasn't wrong when she said you are extremely beautiful," Yang Zi said smiling at the elderly lady. According to her analysis, she concluded that the lady was either in her late forties or early fifties.

"I should say that about you. You are a true beauty. Your face reminds me about a relative," Mrs Jin said smiling at her.

"Beautiful? I think Auntie is wrong about that. In terms of beauty, I can never outshine you," Yang Zi said smiling. Hearing how Yang Zi was flattering his mum, Jin Xiaofei just smiled as he pulled Shui Shui along with him. They sat at a couch opposite that of their mother.

"Your flattering is way out of this world Yang Zi," Mrs Jin said her smile broadening.

"I was only telling the truth. The truth can't be considered as flattering," Yang Zi said as she sat beside Xiaotian.

"Mum was also saying the truth when she says you are beautiful. You are extremely beautiful," Xiaotian complimented.

"Xiaotian, what about dad? Why is he not here?" Jin Xiaofei seized the opportunity to ask not giving his sister the chance to talk to Yang Zi.

"He went to the restroom..," Before she could finish her words the door opened, a middle-aged man entered the room.

Yang Zi slowly raised her gaze to stare at the tall figure. She almost froze to death when she got a glimpse of the man's pale face.

"Uncle Jin Tianyou," Yang Zi exclaimed loudly. Everyone was surprised when they heard her words, they all turned to face her.

"Zi Er, what did you just call my dad?" Xiaofei asked in shock. Seeing Yang Zi's face boil with anger, Shui Shui did not need her to say a word for her to know who the man was.

She has heard so much about her uncle from Yang Zi but she and Shiyi had never had the privilege to know what he looks like since Yang Zi never had a photo of him. Shui Shui could not believe that the same man she has hated for years is the same man she now calls father.

"He is Jin Tianyou," Yang Zi said with gritted teeth as she glared daggers at the man wearing a black suit. Everyone in the room was surprised except Shui Shui.

"You are one of Linxi's daughter...,"

"You have no right to mention that name," Yang Zi said standing up.

"What the heck is going on here?" Xiaofei asked, standing up to his feet.

So she was my husband's brother's daughter, no wonder she looks so much like her mother.

Mrs Jin thought staring at the fuming Yang Zi.

"Shui Shui, I am out of here. You can continue with your meal without me. I am afraid I might lose my cool and stab someone to death here if I stand another minute here," Yang Zi said, as she stumped out of the room. Had her uncle not moved out of the way on time she would have pushed him on the floor without even blinking an eyelid.

"Sorry, everyone but I have to go. My Zi Er desperately needs me right now," Shui Shui said, as she stood up and walked out of the room before Jin Xiaofei could stop her.

"Dad, what the heck is going on here? Why did she call you uncle and why did she react that way the moment she set eyes on you?" Xiaofei who was furious that his girlfriend left him without sparing him a glance asked sternly.

"She is your uncle Linxi's lost daughter, Jin Xiaoqi," Mr Jin answered, as he walked dejectedly to the couch. He sat down with his head bowed.

"Yang Zi is my cousin? How is that possible?" Xiaofei said, still not understanding what was going on. Mr Jin Tianyou went ahead and narrated everything to his son.

Outside the restaurant, the furious Yang Zi opened the driver's seat but before she could enter the car, Shui Shui held her hand.

"I will drive. You will surely get into a fatal accident if you drive with your current state of mind," Shui Shui said, as she pulled the reluctant Yang Zi to the other side of the car. While driving, Shui Shui often stole secret glances at the angry Yang Zi.

"Damn! Instead of leaving the restaurant in fury, I should have just stabbed him in the heart to avenge my sister's death. Maybe doing that would have eased my anger even the slightest bit," Yang Zi said, slamming her hand against the side of the car. Her sudden action startled Shui Shui who was still driving.
