For some reason, Yuan Yuying instinctively clutched her wallet.
[If you've taken from my house, you can't take from mine now.]
Dai Pingying paused. What was that sound?
It's gone again?
But nothing could affect her performance. Dai Pingying continued, "Auntie, is what I told the matchmaker the same?"
Yuan Yuying took an awkward sip of water. "Whether they're the same or not doesn't matter. The most important thing is to have a good heart and be kind."
"Auntie has a very high level of awareness."
Dai Pingying made a polite remark, but she thought to herself that she couldn't accept this matchmaker either.
She even claims to be her aunt; would she really try to scam her?
Looking back now, I realize how awful that was to her.
After a brief respite, Yuan Yuying resumed, "We didn't really want to come. You know, your circumstances are far inferior to our son's, but your aunt has some connections with us and kept praising you, so we couldn't refuse her request. That's why we came."
So, my aunt was just using her as a favor, right?
Dai Pingying rolled up her sleeves and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Dai Pingying went all out.
What are your son's qualifications?
I work for a big company.
How much per month?
Yuan Yuying proudly held up five fingers, "Five thousand, not including social insurance and housing fund."
"Oh," Dai Pingying said casually, "Not even a fraction of what I get, and you consider yourself to have good conditions?"
"You..."
Earning so much, can you even spend it all?
As soon as Dai Pingying walked in, all that money belonged to her son!
How tall is your son?
170.
No wonder he looks better sitting down.
I'm shorter.
"You..." Yuan Yuying couldn't take it anymore. She pulled a long face and said, "Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Dai Pingying's gaze shifted from Yuan Yuying to the man beside her—who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end.
"You're so short," Dai Pingying said, then looked at Yuan Yuying: "We're the same age, so we shouldn't have any relationship, right?"
"You, you, you..." Yuan Yuying was so angry she almost had a heart attack.
"Auntie, if you want to continue talking to me, you'll have to wait while I call my mom."
As Dai Pingying spoke, she actually turned on her phone. She left the contact list on the screen labeled "Mom" and asked Yuan Yuying, "Do you want to say anything more?"
A soft chuckle came from the girl next to Dai Pingying.
Dai Pingying looked over, then awkwardly lowered her head again.
Dai Pingying began to wonder if this girl was really this man's sister.
The girl clearly didn't fit in with their family atmosphere.
Dai Pingying asked, "Your brother went on a blind date, and you came along. Don't you find it strange?"
You've misunderstood, I actually...
Before the girl could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Tingyue's inner thoughts.
She wasn't the man's sister at all; she was his childhood playmate.
Dai Pingying's eyes widened; this younger sister was a bit... unusual!
Dai Pingying went to see Yuan Yuying again, her childhood playmate... weren't they childhood sweethearts? What was she planning to do?
[The man actually preferred his playmate, but his mother felt she wasn't good enough for him, so she brought him to a blind date. They happened to meet his playmate, and she wanted to compare the two women.]
Huh?
Dai Pingying was so angry she laughed.
She crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair, and said with a defiant air, "Let me tell you my requirements first."
Yuan Yuying was shocked; she still wanted to make demands?
"First of all, I can't take care of my in-laws, so we'll have to live separately after we get married."
Good heavens, they're not even married yet, and they're already encouraging their son to be unfilial. What will happen after they're married?!
Yuan Yuying said angrily, "I'm still alive."
"Huh?" Dai Pingying looked at Yuan Yuying with a half-smile, "The Qing Dynasty is gone, but that didn't stop you from choosing a wife for your son, did it?"
[Sister, what an amazing mouth!]
Dai Pingying curled her lips into a smile. Of course, kicking her was like kicking a nut to crack.
Yuan Yuying was so angry she couldn't speak. She pinched her son's arm until it turned purple, but he didn't even try to protect his mother.
What a useless thing! Who is she doing this for? She's hopeless!
Instead, her friend spoke up, "Sister, look at me, I'm fine. My parents are both abroad, and I don't need to live with them before I get married."
This is like adding fuel to the fire, since the fire isn't burning big enough.
Dai Pingying rested her chin on her hand and said, "I'm a picky eater; I won't eat anything that isn't delicious."
"Perfect timing! Cooking is my hobby; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"I'm very jealous and possessive."
"I will give you a strong sense of security, is that all?"
"That's all for now, I'll add more later?"
"Shall we go somewhere else?"
"OK."
Dai Pingying grasped Xin Luo's outstretched hand.
Yuan Yuying sat there, watching the two of them leave hand in hand, her face blank. What the hell? They've fallen for each other???
Chapter 96
"Hahahaha, that's hilarious!" Fan Qing, linking arms with Lin Tingyue, suddenly remembered something and asked, " Yueyue, do you think those two are really attracted to each other, or are they just trying to spite that man and his mother?"
Lin Tingyue thought for a moment, then said cautiously, "It should be true, right?"
[After all, that friend of mine has always liked girls.]
Fan Qing's eyes lit up. So, wasn't that man just deluding himself the whole time?
He deserved to end up like that!
Fan Qing nodded and said, "That's great, I think the two of them are a good match."
After hearing what Fan Qing said, Lin Tingyue looked up their fates.
They later traveled together and got married abroad.
ah?
And just like that, they were happily together?
"Oh right, Qingqing, didn't you say you had something to tell me yesterday? What was it?"
"It's nothing, I'm just going out with my mom. If you don't come, we won't see each other for a while, so I thought I'd ask you to come out with me."
Lin Tingyue patted Fan Qing's head. Fan Qing looked at her, Lin Tingyue winked playfully, "Then remember to bring me a gift!"
Fan Qing beamed, "Of course! No matter who's missing, you won't be left out."
"You're serious, I remember that."
"Remember this," Fan Qing rubbed against Lin Tingyue, "You'd better get a notebook and write it down stroke by stroke!"
"You little rascal, Qingqing, did you do this on purpose?"
"Oops, we've been found out."
Lin Tingyue chased after Fan Qing, who had run away, and the two of them startled a large flock of pigeons as they crossed the square.
Fan Qing, panting, bent down, and Lin Tingyue grabbed her hem and said, "Got you, huh?"
"You're amazing, but you've exhausted me."
Lin Tingyue helped her up, "Let's go sit over there?"
"Um."
The two sat down on a bench by the square when they suddenly heard a scream from behind them.
Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue looked over and saw a man holding the hand of a woman in a black cheongsam who was holding a large umbrella, his voice trembling as he said, "You... how could you..."
Fan Qing, "How strange, he's acting like he's seen a ghost."
But there seems to be a hint of joy in having something lost and then regained?
[Because that person looked exactly like his deceased wife.]
Fan Qing's heart skipped a beat. It was a rare sunny day; the warm winter sun always seemed especially...
Warm
At this moment, however, it seemed to carry a chill, and Fan Qing felt a numbness in her back.
Fan Qing was eager to know the truth about what had happened.
However, a pigeon flew onto Lin Tingyue's lap. Lin Tingyue looked around and said, "Let's go over there and buy some things to feed the pigeons."
"Good."
This interruption made them both forget about the incident until Fan Qing went to a wedding banquet with Feng Shuiyun. Looking at the photo on the poster, she paused, realizing it wasn't the one from that day...
Seeing her daughter staring at the bride on the poster, Feng Shuiyun smiled and asked, "Is the wedding dress beautiful?"
Fan Qing had been looking at the bride's face, and only now did she turn her attention to the wedding dress. The dress was probably designed by a designer; it was beautiful and unique. Fan Qing, "It's very beautiful."
"If you like it, go buy one!"
"Mom," Fan Qing stamped her foot, "I'm still a long way from getting married. Are you already thinking about having a grandson?"
Feng Shuiyun poked Fan Qing's forehead and said, "Silly girl, your mother hasn't had enough of her free and easy life yet. Why should she be tied down by a grandson? And you, are you willing to give up the beautiful scenery of the world and revolve around your family?"
"I can't bear to part with it."
And just thinking about it gives me nightmares.
"I knew you'd be reluctant. You can wear a wedding dress whenever you like it; you don't have to wait until you get married to wear it."
"Okay, Mom."
Entering the hall with Feng Shuiyun, Fan Qing spotted Lin Tingyue and Bai Yaxin from afar. Fan Qing waved to them, "Mom, Yueyue and Aunt Yaxin are over there."
The four of them gathered together, Feng Shuiyun said with a smile, "What a coincidence!"
"Yes, I didn't expect to see you here too."
"Your new hairstyle looks great, where did you get it done?"
"You want to do it? I can introduce you to some options."
"OK."
The two mothers chatted for a while and then walked away.
Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue: "?"
Did they forget they brought their daughter?
Fan Qing took Lin Tingyue's hand, "Mom talks about mom, daughter talks about daughter."
