Chapter 1032 There is only one truth
In the evening, Klein and Lin Zhongtian stood in front of the door of No. 2 Daffodil Street.
The former turned to look at the latter, who smiled slightly and raised the gift bag in his hand to signal.
Klein twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head, took a deep breath, finally took out the key and opened the door.
Under the dim light of the gas lamp, Benson rolled up his shirt sleeves and sat at the dining table reading the newspaper. There was the faint sound of boiling water and the faint aroma of butter coming from the kitchen. It seemed that his sister Melissa was cooking.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Benson paused and turned to look at the door.
Seeing the familiar face of his brother Klein, Benson burst into a smile.
Just when he was about to stand up and say hello to Klein, he suddenly saw the young man behind Klein again.
Different from the young people Benson usually sees, this guest's posture, behavior, and even the most so-called temperament can be seen at a glance.
The smile on that handsome face could even make people ignore his handsome facial features and only focus on the perfect corners of his mouth.
There is no doubt that this is no ordinary guest!
Thinking of this, Benson quickly stood up and came forward with a smile on his face, but also a little reserved.
"Good evening, Klein."
Benson first said hello to Klein, then looked at Lin Zhongtian behind him and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, this handsome gentleman who makes me feel ashamed is the guest mentioned in your letter. Bar!"
"That's right."
Klein sighed, then turned around and explained: "Don't mind, he always likes this kind of cold humor."
Lin Zhongtian chuckled lightly, and while handing the gift bag to Klein, he said in a very gentle tone: "Why would I mind? It should be said that no man would refuse compliments on his appearance, right?"
"...Well, Mr. Handsome, that's not a bad title!"
Seeing Lin Zhongtian's non-rejecting reaction, Benson's inner restraint relaxed for the most part.
He smiled and stretched out a hand towards Lin Zhongtian.
"Benson Moretti, welcome to Moretti's house!"
"This is an honor for the Moretti family, but it's a pity that the preparation time Klein left for me was too short. In a hurry, I only bought some beef, so I may not be able to give you a rich reception..."
As he said that, Benson showed a trace of apology on his face.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't come here just to get a meal."
Lin Zhongtian held Benson's hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing his white teeth, and smiled:
"So, don't be so polite, cousin Benson."
"..."
Benson was still shaking hands enthusiastically at first, but after a moment of shaking, he suddenly reacted.
So, he widened his eyes and stared blankly at Lin Zhongtian, who was smiling across from him. Then he turned his head stiffly and glanced at Klein next to him, who had a complicated look on his face.
"..."
Klein sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, you heard it right. I didn't mention my cousin's name and identity in the letter before. I only said that he was my friend because I was worried that you would not be able to accept it for a while. "
"But... yes, Mr. Haven is indeed our cousin."
Upon hearing Klein's confirmation, Benson froze in place as if he had been hit hard.
"Wait!" Benson came back to his senses, let go of his hand, and looked at the two of them with furrowed brows, "But... I don't remember my father saying that he had any brothers who were living abroad!"
Klein shook his head and said, "Father doesn't have it, doesn't mean mother doesn't have it."
Mother?
Benson was stunned for a moment.
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, put one hand on his chest, and saluted gracefully: "Let me introduce you again, Med Haven, your cousin. I wonder if my aunt ever mentioned to you before she was alive that she also had a disobedient sister."
"Is there...is there any?"
Benson stared at Lin Zhongtian blankly, constantly recalling the memory of his mother in his mind.
Suddenly, a vague memory emerged from the depths of his mind. It seemed that when he was very young, his mother was lying on the bed, holding the newborn Melissa, and whispered to him lying beside the bed, saying, He must take on the responsibility of an older brother in the future and never imitate her sister, who eloped with the bard for so-called love and completely abandoned the family.
Thinking of this, Benson suddenly realized and couldn't help but said: "I remembered that my mother did say that she had a sister, and said... She also said that her sister eloped with a bard and lost contact with her family!"
It actually matched!
Klein looked at Benson in astonishment, then fell silent and glanced at Lin Zhongtian beside him.
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and said through the message: "Don't think too much, I didn't do anything to your brother. It's just that the information affected history and caused errors in your brother's memory."
"Don't worry, this level of memory confusion will never have any adverse effects on him."
After receiving Lin Zhongtian's message of assurance, Klein felt a little relieved.
At the same time, Benson finally realized that the 'aunt' mentioned by his mother might be this cousin's biological mother.
Thinking of this, he quickly stopped the topic and apologized to Lin Zhongtian.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to criticize others..."
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. She did abandon her family for love back then. It is natural for my aunt to feel hatred because of this."
"However, I think the grievances of the older generation have nothing to do with us, what do you think?"
Benson nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too."
Klein looked at the gift bag in his hand, and then looked at the two brothers standing at the door talking, and sighed: "I say, if there is anything we can't sit down and talk slowly?"
"Oh oh!"
Benson suddenly realized it, and hurriedly invited Lin Zhongtian to sit down at the dining table.
Klein pulled out the chair next to Lin Zhongtian, put the gift bag in his hand on the chair, and then glanced at the two of them and said:
"You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to help."
After saying that, Klein took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and strode into the kitchen where the fragrance kept wafting.
Lin Zhongtian watched Klein leave, then turned his head and looked at Benson opposite with a complicated expression, sighed pretentiously, and then began to tell the story he had spread.
At the same time, Klein came to the kitchen and easily replaced his sister's position as the chef.
And his sister Melissa seemed to think it was natural, silently gave up her position, and began to help her brother.
There was no way. The cooking skills of the lower and middle classes in this world were really not that good. After Klein came to this world, he quickly demonstrated the traditional skills of the Great Celestial Empire in his previous life and became the master of the kitchen of the Moretti family.
After tasting the food cooked by Klein, Benson and Melissa quickly became addicted and became his loyal fans.
Accompanied by the sound of boiling water and the rich aroma of meat, Melissa stood beside Klein, silently looking at her brother's profile, and there seemed to be some hesitation in her eyes.
Klein glanced at her and realized something was wrong, so he put down the spatula and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Melissa opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth and asked, "Is this true?"
Klein was slightly startled, then he understood and sighed in his heart.
However, on the surface, he still wondered, "What's true or false?"
Melissa looked at Klein and said, "That Mr. Med Haven, is he really our cousin?"
"..." Klein glanced at her and asked softly, "Did you hear that?"
Melissa nodded, "Well, you know, the soundproofing in the kitchen is not very good."
Klein was silent for a moment, then sighed and began to tell Melissa the story in the kitchen.
After all, Melissa was a sixteen-year-old girl, and a female student at Tingen Technical School. After hearing such a story, she quickly immersed herself in the contradictions and entanglements of love and family affection.
Not long after, Klein finished the story.
Melissa stared at the boiling beef soup in a daze, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses and couldn't help sighing.
"So that's it..."
"I guess my aunt must have regretted something before she died, so she asked cousin Haven to help her find those former relatives at the last moment of her life..."
Is he cousin Haven already?
Klein's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you believe this story?"
Melissa glanced at him and nodded silently.
Klein was puzzled and said, "But there are still many loopholes in this story, right?"
Melissa shook her head and said, "It's just a few emotional loopholes. If cousin Haven's mother is really that kind of person, then this story is possible, and... you are willing to bring him home, so you must believe this story, right?"
That's not necessarily true!
Klein complained in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a little moved.
The second half of Melissa's sentence meant that she made a judgment based on him. In other words, she believed in her brother, so she recognized Lin Zhongtian's fabricated identity.
Just when Klein felt warm in his heart, he suddenly heard Melissa say:
"Actually, I know cousin Haven's identity..."
Klein was slightly startled and looked at Melissa with some doubts.
Melissa said softly, "You know, I'm a student of the Steam and Machinery Department of Tingen Technical School. Two days ago, our professor mentioned an internship opportunity. He said that a big entrepreneur has entered Tingen City and may make a big move."
"I thought that if I could seize this opportunity, I might not have to rely on my family for tuition."
"So, I asked the professor privately, and the name I got was Med Haven!"
"To be honest, I was really shocked when I heard this name from my cousin just now, but then I thought about it. Since my cousin is a wealthy big entrepreneur, it shows that he is really here to find relatives."
"After all, if such a person is not really related by blood, why would he want to be related to our family?"
"Is there anything in our family that is worth his attention?"
"So, I think there is only one truth!"
Facing Melissa's firm gaze of "I have seen through everything", Klein couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The big boss's methods are indeed unpredictable and leak-proof.
You know, Lin Zhongtian just came to this world today, and there was no such person as Med Haven two days ago.
Melissa's ability to "recall" these memories related to Mr. Haven must be the result of information tampering!
"I really can't hide it from you!"
Klein came back to his senses and sighed, "You are right, cousin Haven is indeed a big entrepreneur, and he has inherited the title from his uncle, and is now a viscount of the Kingdom of Loen..."
