Chapter 1922: Chapter 2008: Weight
"Old Zhou, it’s not that I, your maternal grandmother, lack tact in speaking, but although Xue’er is beautiful, can beauty itself provide sustenance? Besides, she’s already thirty years old, how many more years does a woman have after hitting thirty? Are we waiting for her to marry at forty? Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, forty will arrive. This time, the one I’ve found for her might seem a bit unsightly, but he is a local from the Imperial Capital. If he marries your daughter, you wouldn’t have to stay in this basement anymore. Look, your rheumatism can’t be allowed to stay in such a place for long either. And, he said if they become a couple, he’s willing to help your son sort out those issues, because as a local, his words carry weight!"
One must admit that Matchmaker Wang is quite the talkingful person; her words flow seamlessly and pierce straight into the heart of those she speaks to—each sentence hits the most sensitive place. While she might speak a bit harshly, there’s truth in what she says!
"Old Zhou, it’s right to spoil the children, but don’t let them run wild. Just think, Xue’er has been going on blind dates since she was twenty-four and now she is thirty-one, if she doesn’t settle soon, no one will dare to introduce anyone anymore!"
"Sigh... Alright, maternal grandmother, please help us in contacting more people on this matter. Sigh, we parents are truly helpless; I want her to marry into a good family, but we are also aware of our situation here. This child, she truly is having a hard time."
Old Zhou spoke with much helplessness!
"Alright, that’s the spirit, trust me, leave this matter to me, and there will definitely be no problem, I will perfectly resolve this for you!"
At that moment, Talkingful Wang spoke excitedly; after all, if the introduction succeeds, he stands to gain quite a bit.
Outside the door, Zhou Sixue’s eyes brimmed with tears; in that instant, Su Xuan understood why Zhou Sixue was so eager to marry. It wasn’t that he was overly picky or dismissive of others, but rather that he simply hadn’t found someone he wanted to share his life with!
Blind dates are really a matter of chance, it’s not like she hasn’t met good men over the recent years, it’s just that some of these good men retreated after knowing her career and family background!
Su Xuan gently held Zhou Sixue close and whispered quietly!
"It’s alright now!"
Su Xuan said lightly as he slowly walked inside. When he did so, Zhou Sixue’s parents saw them walking in together, and curiosity welled in their hearts—what’s going on here? Talkingful Wang was a bit embarrassed, thinking to himself, what’s happening here?
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Su Xuan. Su Xuan, these are my parents!"
"Uncle, Aunt, hello, a small gift, please accept it!"
Su Xuan spoke very politely.
"This... what is happening here?"
At that moment, Zhou Sixue’s parents were completely bewildered; my goodness, what is all this about? How did a boyfriend suddenly appear, and such a handsome, young one at that!
"How old are you?"
Zhou Sixue’s parents curiously asked, thinking that their daughter might be bluffing.
"Twenty-nine!"
Su Xuan shrugged, and when he finished speaking, Talkingful Wang replied quite displeased.
"Young man, are you really Xue’er’s boyfriend?"
Talkingful Wang was internally uncomfortable; it was truly exasperating. He was facing such a good opportunity to earn a hefty sum, only for it to be ruined by this young man!
"Yes, is there anything false about such matters?"
Su Xuan shrugged; to be honest, previously he indeed had no particular interest in Zhou Sixue, but upon hearing about Zhou Sixue’s parents planning to marry her off to a cripple, plus making her a stepmother, wasn’t that a bit too much of a compromise!
Although if she were with him, she too might end up being a stepmother, it’s actually different. At least, his wives all have their own lives and careers, living very confidently and freely.
Even though he has a son, the son has his own mother, so the nature of being a stepmother differs!
"What do you do?"
Looking at Su Xuan, Talkingful Wang was infuriated; this is cutting off his financial avenue!
"Old Zhou, not to be offensive, but the young man is younger than Xue’er and looks like he might not be very safe."
Talkingful Wang outright said!
"Um... does being unsightly assure safety?"
Su Xuan weakly asked a question, although he seemed to be a bit unsafe himself, it couldn’t be put quite like that!
"This..."
At that instant, Talkingful Wang was also left speechless, feeling as if he was witnessing a ghost; what an inconvenient time for this guy to show up!
"Mom, Dad, he really is my boyfriend. I’ve mentioned him before; he’s the one I liked when I was in the army, and although I hadn’t been able to reach him since then, we met at a gathering this time!"
"Military?"
Zhou Sixue’s mother, upon hearing that Su Xuan was in the military, seemed suddenly quite disappointed in Su Xuan. Initially, when she first saw Su Xuan, she had a very good impression; after all, Su Xuan appeared very handsome and seemed wealthy.
Zhou Sixue’s mother was a person with a strong sense of pride; if her daughter could marry a rich man who was also good-looking, it would be ideal. But upon hearing that Su Xuan was in the military, she was utterly speechless and even scornful!
The reason is simple. Her husband was actually in the military as well, but after leaving the service, he had no significant skills, ending up working as a security guard. She believed marrying such an unproductive husband was her biggest regret!
"Is he a local resident?"
Matchmaker Wang was quick to seize on opportunities, seeing the disdain in Zhou Sixue’s mother’s eyes, he immediately asked. According to him, men who haven’t married by the age of twenty-nine typically haven’t achieved much. Unlike women who might remain single due to high standards, men tend to remain unmarried simply because of a lack of ability.
"No!"
Su Xuan shrugged, and shortly after he spoke, Zhou Sixue’s mother was visibly dismissive of Su Xuan; in her view, such men had no ambition. Her daughter might as well marry the cripple over him; at least the cripple already has a house here and is a local resident, and that’s where real value lies.
In the Imperial Capital, even if one doesn’t have much money, possessing property means possessing considerable wealth!
