Chiang Qing didn’t want to not come back, but suddenly her parents had all sorts of issues, saying they felt unwell or that they had argued and were in a bad mood, pulling at her not to leave, essentially dragging her feet on the return journey.
This time, she was pulled into this fancy café by Lu Shufen and others because an aunt she hadn’t seen in a long time wanted to see her.
As soon as she saw the other party, parents with their son, Chiang Qing understood right away.
"Old Chiang, looking younger, huh..."
"Old Zeng, long time no see."
After some polite small talk, everyone sat down, and soon Chiang Qing learned all about the man opposite her, the one with big glasses and a skinny, frail appearance.
A returnee from a prestigious university abroad, he had only recently come back to the country and was now working as a section chief in some government department at the age of twenty-seven. Because he was usually so immersed in his studies, he preferred peace and had an honest nature, and thus he had delayed his marriage for so long.
At this point, what else was there for Chiang Qing not to understand? This was a setup for a blind date.
Looking at the feeble man with no hint of masculinity, she couldn’t believe her parents wanted to introduce someone like him to her.
Chiang Qing kept a cold face throughout the meeting, answering only when asked, resulting in an incredibly awkward atmosphere. Once back home, she immediately blew up at Lu Shufen and the rest.
"Dad, Mom, what is this all about? Without saying a word, you introduce someone like this to me, what’s the meaning of this? You both clearly know that I have someone in my heart who I like," Chiang Qing said furiously.
"What’s wrong with Little Zeng? A prestigious university graduate who has been abroad, he looks good, comes from a good family, and now enjoys a stable government job. Why wouldn’t he be a good match for you?" Lu Shufen said indifferently.
Hearing this, Chiang Qing became even more agitated and shouted, "Mom, you know perfectly well that I..."
