"What good news?"
"My youngest daughter, who used to be under your Jiaxin, refused to get married. She recently came back, and her sister-in-law persuaded her with great patience and persuasion, finally convincing her. Today, her sister-in-law accompanied her on a blind date. I think I'll be holding my grandson soon."
[Are you sure it wasn't disturbed?]
Old Master Lin understood. This wasn't a gesture of goodwill at all; it was clearly someone stepping on his head to show off.
Wasn't Sang Qin's conversation subtly directed at Lin Jiasi?
Besides, his daughter has now repented, while Lin Jiasi is still out there having affairs.
What is this if not showing off???
Old Master Lin immediately pushed Sang Qin away, frowning as he said, "It's not even a sure thing yet, what are you dreaming about?"
Sang Qin was also a little annoyed. "I was just trying to be nice to you, why are you getting angry?"
Old Master Lin sneered, "Is that what you call good intentions?"
"Why not? Who's keeping you up all night because Lin Jiasi isn't getting married?"
"My worries are none of your business."
"Yes, I feel relieved. Don't I want to make things easier for you too?"
"No need," Old Master Lin stubbornly replied, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; I've come to terms with it."
"Come on, you're kidding me."
What kind of attitude is that?!
Lin Yuhuan glanced at Sang Qin, who had been holding onto Old Master Lin and was now standing between the two of them. They were about to argue for another ten rounds, but it was interrupted by a phone call.
Sang Qin beamed as soon as he saw the caller ID. He waved his phone at Old Master Lin, "It's definitely a success, Old Lin, you can't argue with that."
After receiving the call, Sang Qin turned pale.
[Huh, what's wrong? Did your blind date not go well?]
[Ah, so the guy on the blind date has taken a liking to his daughter's sister-in-law!]
Chapter 81
Let's go back to the time when Mo Li accompanied Sang Jie to her blind date.
In the car, Mo Li began introducing the man, " Xiao Jie, this man is about your age. Although he's divorced and has a child, he's a good catch. He's a returnee from overseas and the general manager of a listed company. You'll be very fortunate if you marry him."
Sang Jie appeared to be listening attentively, but in reality, she was practically rolling her eyes to the heavens. Enjoying a life of luxury? She probably thought she was going to be a mother.
Which mother these days is truly enjoying a comfortable life?
Fine, she'll endure it. After she finishes making up an excuse about it not being suitable for the old man, she'll just run away. This time, she's determined to be like Sister Jiasi, running to the ends of the earth and not coming back for ten or twenty years.
Thinking this way, Sang Jie suddenly felt that her future was bright, and that trashy blind date was just a temporary obstacle.
But she underestimated this obstacle.
She's not even forty yet, so what's with the graying hair on the other side?! Is this what her sister-in-law meant by "around the same age"?
Not only is he old-looking, but he's also short, and not only that, he's ugly. She's a young lady from the Sang Family, and she's not bad-looking herself. Does she only deserve to marry someone like this?
Before she left, the old man repeatedly told her not to be too picky, because she couldn't just marry any man, could she?
Sang Jie was speechless and facepalmed. Was her sister-in-law scamming her? Could she call the police?
While she was suffering terribly, they were already exchanging pleasantries. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were on a blind date!
At this moment, Sang Jie had no idea that what she said had actually come true.
"Mr. Du, you've arrived so early."
Du Chengzhi said politely, "I just arrived a little early. This must be Miss Sang?"
Before Sang Jie could speak, Mo Li quickly said, "Yes, yes, this is our Xiao Jie."
A look of amazement flashed in Du Chengzhi's eyes, and Mo Li knew that this time it was a sure thing. As long as her sister-in-law's marriage was settled, she would have a say in the old man's eyes.
Du Chengzhi said, "I don't know your tastes, so I haven't ordered yet. You can take a look for yourselves..."
" Xiao Jie likes coffee, with sugar and milk, I'll do it."
Mo Li then practically became Sang Jie's spokesperson, answering every single question Mo Li asked. Sang Jie felt uncomfortable with her sister-in-law's attentiveness, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
When the two sides had finished their conversation, Du Chengzhi looked at Mo Li and said, "Miss Mo, don't just talk about Miss Sang, tell us about yourself too."
Mo Li paused, wondering if the matchmaker had told Du Chengzhi about her relationship with Sang Jie?
But that makes sense. It's a blind date, why talk so much? Besides, Du Chengzhi is quite considerate, even wanting to know about Sang Jie's sister-in-law.
Mo Li increasingly felt that Du Chengzhi was a good person.
She mentioned some of her hobbies, and when she said she liked playing badminton, Du Chengzhi's eyes lit up. "You like playing badminton?"
Mo Li felt a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, and she said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, what's wrong, Mr. Du?"
I also like playing badminton.
Something seems off.
Mo Li said, "That's a good thing. Actually, Xiao Jie is quite good at badminton too. If Mr. Du has time, you can arrange to play badminton with Xiao Jie."
Du Chengzhi stared at Mo Li and asked, "Will you come?"
"I?"
Du Chengzhi nodded.
Mo Li was completely confused. What does this have to do with me?
Mo Li grumbled inwardly, but outwardly she remained very tactful. "I'm busy taking care of the kids, so I might not have much free time."
You have children too???
"Yes, yes."
I don't understand why Du Chengzhi is so agitated.
After finishing their coffee, as everyone was preparing to leave, Mo Li tentatively asked, "Mr. Du, what about you?"
What do you think?
I think it's great.
Du Chengzhi looked Mo Li up and down, then took Mo Li hand and said impatiently, "Let's get married tomorrow."
Mo Li screamed, and Sang Jie frowned, asking, "Mr. Du, what do you mean?"
"To be honest, Miss Sang, your friend is more to my liking. I like her very much, and I want to marry her tomorrow."
Du Chengzhi's words infuriated Mo Li to the point of wanting to vomit blood. She felt dizzy, and Sang Jie Sang Jie supported her, saying coldly, "This is my sister-in-law!"
Du Chengzhi was about to get married, stammered, "... Huh?"
Back at Lin Tingyue's side, Old Master Lin said gloatingly, "What, Xiao Jie's blind date fell through?"
Sang Qin was already unhappy, and after being provoked by Old Master Lin, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Hong!"
Lin Hong couldn't help but laugh, and asked sarcastically, "What's wrong?"
"You, you, you..."
Sang Qin clutched her chest and fainted from anger.
The teacher hurriedly got the old man into the ambulance, and finally Lin Tingyue and Lin Yuhuan accompanied Lin Hong to the hospital.
Sang Jie and Sang Qin's eldest son, Sang Ming, rushed over upon receiving the news.
Lin Hong, usually arrogant, obediently apologized to the family at this moment, saying, "It was my fault for speaking carelessly and upsetting Old Sang."
Sang Jie and Sang Ming were also anxious, but they both knew it wasn't Lin Hong's fault. Sang Jie comforted him, "Uncle Lin, it's alright. This is an old ailment of my dad's. To be honest, my second brother and I are more likely to be angry with him. It has nothing to do with you. Please go sit over there and rest."
While sitting, Lin Hong muttered to himself, "Such a good girl, how come she can't get married?"
[Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. Is being unable to get married the same as not wanting to get married?]
Sang Jie, waiting at the entrance of the emergency room, looked up suspiciously. What was that sound?
After a while, Sang Qin woke up, and Lin Tingyue and Lin Yuhuan took Lin Hong back to the senior university.
In the evening, the old man went home, and the whole family video-chatted with Lin Jiasi in the living room.
Lin Jiasi is currently traveling in a seaside city abroad. She said, " Sang Jie told me, and she also told me something else."
Everyone smelled the juicy gossip, so they all instinctively moved closer to the screen.
Lin Jiasi almost died laughing when she saw it. The four fluffy heads filled her screen completely, with only Lin Yuhuan on one side looking less childish.
She said, " Yuhuan, can't you turn the volume up a bit?"
They were calling Lin Jiasi using Lin Yuhuan's tablet. Suddenly being called out, Lin Yuhuan said helplessly, "No matter how loud I am, they'll still do this. Aunt, you should speak first."
The four heads nodded in unison.
Lin Jiasi almost laughed. She coughed lightly and said, "Wasn't Old Master Sang hospitalized today? Mo Li came to bring him soup later. Sang Jie overheard Mo Li talking to her brother on the phone. It turns out Mo Li wanted to get married to win Grandpa's favor so her brother could be promoted to general manager of the company. Who knew he didn't like her but instead liked Mo Li? Mo Li was disgusted and resentful at the same time."
Lin Tingyue's precise conclusion: [Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.]
The Lin Family all nodded in agreement.
It was daytime where Lin Jiasi was, and she was lazily sitting on a beach chair, enjoying the sea breeze. " Mo Li probably still wants to introduce Sang Jie to someone. Sang Jie is already planning to come and stay with me."
Bai Yaxin to herself, "You should come back a little later too. I'm worried that if Dad finds out, he'll start thinking about setting you up on blind dates too."
Bai Yaxin's concerns were not unfounded.
Lin Jiasi nodded, then she thought of a mischievous idea, "How about I send the old man a picture of Fu Jingtian?"
[Hmm... the effect will definitely be immediate.]
Saturday.
In the living room, Lin Xiawan was showing Bai Yaxin her newly designed dress when Lin Tingyue walked up to them, lifted the hem of her dress, twirled around, and nodded, saying, "Good morning."
Bai Yaxin commented sharply. "Where did these peacocks come from?"
[Mom has such a sharp tongue!]
Bai Yaxin smiled and tapped Lin Tingyue's head, saying, "I was praising you."
