Huo Yingjie turned his head and looked away, without going forward to help pick them up.

"My hand slipped and hurt, can you help me pick it up?" Wang Bing asked softly, tilting her head slightly to reveal what she usually considered to be her most beautiful long neck.

Huo Yingjie ignored him and walked away.

Did he think he hadn't noticed that she had deliberately cut her hand?

Furthermore, this woman looks familiar; it's like I've seen her somewhere before!

If you can't remember them, then they're not important people.

No one will die, it's a minor matter.

If that's the case, why would he be so kind as to help?

Huo Yingjie walked away so casually, not even bothering to glance at her, which made Wang Bing furious.

If she could, she really wanted to catch up with Huo Yingjie and question him about why he was so heartless.

That's right, Wang Bing is indeed very affectionate, and she also hopes that others will be affectionate towards her!

Over the years, she has had no shortage of suitors, but she has never accepted any of them, enjoying the feeling of being pursued and flattered by men.

However, she is already twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and if she is not married, she is already an old maid!

Furthermore, others have observed some of her behavior. A decent person wouldn't pursue a woman like that as a wife.

Beautiful women do exist, but marrying someone like Wang Bing means you're destined to be cuckolded.

Men these days are very conservative; no one can swallow this insult.

Wang Bing was annoyed, but there were still some colleagues around who were leaving get off work. If she lost her temper, people would immediately laugh at her.

Wang Bing picked up the lunchbox, ignoring the injury on her hand, and hurriedly left.

I don't want to stay here any longer; that would only make her angrier.

Feng Qiaoqiao also got married last month, and she is in high spirits and has a harmonious family.

Now she's the only old maid left!

Her parents, who usually doted on her, were constantly nagging her, saying, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have been better off marrying her sooner."

Back when Huo Yingjie was just a young man, if she had acted the same way, she might have become the mayor's daughter-in-law.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Wang Bing saw her as beautiful and radiant as ever, when she suddenly noticed a wrinkle at the corner of her eye. Startled, she widened her eyes and quickly applied the finest face cream to the wrinkle.

However, the wrinkles are still there, only the skin is a bit more moisturized than before.

She's old, she's old.

This realization plunged Wang Bing into an icy abyss, making her understand that if she didn't find a suitable partner and get married soon, she would have even less chance of finding a good one in the future.

So she agreed to the blind dates arranged by her parents, but she didn't like any of them.

Now, let's talk about the girl Jiang Lifang introduced. She came from a harmonious family of four, with an older brother. This girl, named Wang Ying, was twenty-four years old, with a round face, delicate and pleasing appearance, and a witty and straightforward manner of speaking.

During the meal, Jiang Lifang chatted with them.

Although she's not as pretty as my sister-in-law, she's still quite good-looking. Just as Aunt Jiang said, she has a good personality and we can get along well.

Since that's the case, then let's try everything!

Seeing that the two got along well, Jiang Lifang immediately decided to invite Wang Ying to her home for dinner that evening, striking while the iron was hot.

Although Wang Ying was a little shy, she still agreed.

When Zhou Yuanchao came out of the hospital, he was no longer as apprehensive as when he went in. Instead, he was quite spirited, like a bear that had stolen honey.

Zhou Yuanchao came to the tree but did not see Huo Yingjie.

"Where did the boss go?" Zhou Yuanchao scratched his head. The boss was becoming more and more unreliable. Wasn't he supposed to wait for him here?

Just then, Huo Yingjie came up from behind and asked, "How did the blind date go?"

"Not bad, it looks quite pleasing to the eye. Perhaps my spring will be in Nanshi," Zhou Yuanchao said with a smile. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly!

"That's good!" Huo Yingjie nodded. "My mother said that girl is nice, so she's nice. As long as they have good personalities and get along well, that's fine. As for looks, they're not that important!"

"Hey..." Zhou Yuanchao shushed, "Looks aren't important, so why did you find such a beautiful wife? And besides, if your sister-in-law wasn't pretty, would you be so determined?"

“Of course!” Huo Yingjie said righteously, “We grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, inseparable. A boor like you can’t understand.”

“I don’t believe it. There are plenty of boys and girls who grow up together, but how many of them end up as husband and wife?” Zhou Yuanchao said. “You just thought she was pretty and pursued her relentlessly. Plus, you had a childhood friendship with her, and that’s how you ended up marrying your sister-in-law.”

Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "What you said does make some sense! Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say we look good together!"

"Sigh, so I'm destined to only date ordinary women," Zhou Yuanchao said. Without comparison, there is no hurt.

"Alright, you're like a toad lusting after a swan, wake up!" Huo Yingjie said. "Without deep feelings, you can't possibly trust a beautiful wife who's never home for a long time like you."

Zhou Yuanchao was taken aback, then immediately agreed, saying, "Boss, you really have foresight! No wonder you stopped going to the weapons research institute after you got married; it turns out you couldn't let go of your sister-in-law!"

"Slap!" Huo Yingjie slapped Zhou Yuanchao on the back. "I can't let go of your sister-in-law, but it's definitely not because of that. I'm not talking to you anymore. Anyway, you're just a sour grapes, jealous!"

"Ouch!" Zhou Yuanchao cried out in pain. "Boss, are you trying to kill me? You've got such a strong grip!"

"You deserve to be beaten to death!" Huo Yingjie said irritably. Zhou Yuanchao was like a three-and-a-half-pound duck with a two-and-a-half-pound mouth.

His success was due to his mouth, and his downfall was also due to his mouth!

After returning, Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li inquired about Zhou Yuanchao's "battle situation" with concern.

Zhou Yuanchao answered each question in turn. He learned that Wang Ying was coming to visit that evening, and that Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li were very happy and could help look after her.

Since Zhou Yuanchao's parents were not around, Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li temporarily acted as elders to help him find a match.

He Tiantian prepared a sumptuous dinner and specially bought a large watermelon to cool in the cellar.

When Jiang Lifang returned home that evening, she brought Wang Ying with her.

Wang Ying was a sensible girl; she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought malted milk powder and candy.

Even though the child can't eat, it's still good to bring something when visiting.

After changing out of her white lab coat, Wang Ying wore a blue floral dress and looked quite good.

When chatting with Aunt Li, Wang Ying was also able to be efficient, generous, and well-mannered.

Chief Engineer Sun, Aunt Li nodded secretly; she was indeed a good girl.

That evening, Jiang Lifang asked Zhou Yuanchao to take Wang Ying home, creating an opportunity for them to talk alone.

Young people, if they like each other, they'll develop feelings for each other if they spend more time together.

Aunt Li was relieved to see Zhou Yuanchao so satisfied; it seemed that this long-standing problem had been solved.
