The restaurant is not big, with only six square tables in total.
There is a bar near the door of the restaurant, and behind the bar is a row of cabinets filled with various kinds of wine. On the bar there is only a chopstick holder, a few recipes, and a pack of tissues.
Wu Xuzi's cousin had already arrived and was sitting in the seat closest to the bar, waving at them.
Of course, there was only one customer in the entire restaurant, Wu Xuzi's cousin. Lan Ziye knew that she was the person they were looking for without her waving.
Lan Ziye and Wu Xuzi sat down across from their cousin. His cousin quickly handed them the menu and politely asked, "Miss Lan, what would you like to eat?"
Lan Ziye took the menu and threw it in front of Wu Xuzi naturally, saying, "You order. You know what I like to eat!"
Lan Ziye knew that his cousin's financial situation was not very good. She would feel embarrassed to order something expensive, and even more embarrassed to order something cheap. It would be better to leave such a difficult problem to Wu Xuzi!
Wu Xuzi licked his cheeks and smiled, "Okay, I'll order!" Then he saw him mark on the menu and handed it to the waiter. Then he looked at his cousin and said, "We are good friends. You don't need to be polite with her. Just tell her if you have any questions! Twelve Young Master is very good at this!"
The cousin smiled awkwardly, looked at Lan Ziye and said, "Her cousin-in-law and I have been married for five years and have no children. We really wanted a child, so we went to an orphanage to adopt one. The child is called Xiao Qiao, a very pretty and lively girl, six years old this year. I heard from the staff at the orphanage that when the child was three years old, her family suffered a great disaster and everyone in the family was burned to death. This is the only child left. None of our relatives or friends were willing to raise her, so we sent her to the orphanage!"
"The child was very well-behaved and very touching. After three interactions with the child, we decided to adopt him. After completing all the formalities, we brought him home. At first, the child was quite good, very well-behaved and lovable. My husband, in particular, treated the child as if he were his own and doted on him to the utmost! However, later on, I gradually realized that something was wrong!"
"One time, she actually used my makeup to put on makeup in the house! Actually, it's natural for girls to love beauty, and stealing adults' makeup is normal. But when I found out, she didn't panic at all. She even gave me a weird smile. That look in her eyes seemed... provocative. Yes, provocative!"
"In the beginning, to welcome her arrival, we specially prepared a children's room for her, with a new bed, bookcases, wardrobe, and desk! When she first came to our house, she seemed to love her little room very much. But after living there for less than two months, she refused to sleep in the children's room anymore and insisted on squeezing in between us. Every time, she would cling to my husband tightly. She has seriously affected our married life, but my husband loves it and holds her to sleep every day! They are getting closer and closer, and I feel like an outsider, or a nanny serving them both!"
"They say daughters are close to their fathers, but sometimes I think I'm overthinking it. Being jealous of my own daughter would make me a laughing stock if I told anyone! But then I discovered she was actually trying to kill me. I saw she drugged my water cup, so I was more cautious and fed the water to a stray cat in the alley. The cat foamed at the mouth and died on the spot!"
