Background / History
Jiang Yu'er's mother arranges blind dates for her, which she habitually disrupts by bringing Zhang Yuanqing along. His role is to win over the prospective suitor and monopolize the conversation: within minutes, the two men are discussing public welfare and global affairs, leaving Jiang Yu'er out of the date entirely 103 105.
At breakfast before another arranged date, Jiang Yu'er claims she only wants to take her nephew shopping for spring clothes. Her mother sees through the excuse, threatens to break her legs as well as his, and makes her attend alone. Jiang Yu'er nevertheless gives Zhang Yuanqing a knowing look before leaving, expecting him to follow 101 105.
When his grandmother prevents him from leaving, Zhang Yuanqing messages Jiang Yu'er to explain that she must handle the date herself. She responds indignantly, then tries to coax him into coming anyway 107 135 166.
