After watching the movie, Zheng Yang found an excuse to drag Jiang Ruyu around outside for several more times. It was almost five o'clock before the two went back. When they got to the alley entrance, Jiang Ruyu pushed her bike and wanted to leave first, but Zheng Yang looked at her with a wronged expression.

"Am I really that unattractive? Are you so afraid that people will find out I'm pursuing you?"

Jiang Ruyu felt a little guilty: "I went on a blind date today, but it didn't work out. I ended up walking back with you. Who knows what people will say about me? I just didn't want to be pointed at and gossiped about."

Zheng Yang knew what the women in the alley were talking about: "Alright then, but you can't avoid me."

Jiang Ruyu nodded, pushed the cart, and left first. There were still a few people sitting in the alley. When they saw Jiang Ruyu return, their gossip spirits immediately ignited.

"Oh dear, Ruyu is back. She's so late. Looks like she's taken a liking to someone?"

"It's probably pretty close. Wang Cui praised that person so highly, so it can't be too bad, right?"

Jiang Ruyu quickly explained that if she didn't speak up, these people would even arrange the day she would get her marriage certificate and the day she would give birth.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, but I didn't find anyone I liked. They're too outstanding. When I arrived, they were already chatting happily with other women, so I didn't want to disturb them."

When Jiang Ruyu said this, everyone looked at each other in surprise. They had never heard of such a thing before. Could a blind date really be snatched away?

Wang Cui came out and saw Jiang Ruyu. She was about to ask her something when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Ruyu also saw Aunt Wang. She smiled as usual and said, "Aunt Wang, thank you for the introduction. Although it didn't work out, I saw that the two of them were getting along very well, so I won't get involved."

Wang Cui smiled dryly and said, "Oh, is that so? Well, he's just unlucky. He missed out on such a good woman like you. Next time, Aunt Wang will introduce you to someone even better."

She couldn't help but curse the family who asked her to be a matchmaker in her heart. What a bunch of scoundrels! You asked me to find a good girl for your son, and I went to all the trouble to find one, and you turned around and hooked up with someone else, leaving her in a terrible predicament. It's really despicable.

Jiang Ruyu thought to herself, "Forget it, I really don't like those who look particularly special: I'm not in a hurry, I'm still young."

Zheng Yang walked over with his hands in his pockets: "Aunt Wang, I don't have a boyfriend yet. How about you introduce me to someone?"

"Really? Didn't you say you didn't want to talk about it? With your job, what can't you say?" She had introduced him to someone before, that Xiaoyu, and it caused quite a stir. Why is he doing it again?

"I have high standards. I want someone tall, fair-skinned, good-looking, and with a good job," Zheng Yang said casually, while secretly giving Jiang Ruyu, who was glaring at him, a flirtatious wink.

Wang Cui: ·······

The middle-aged women watching the show commented: "This kid didn't drink fake alcohol, did he?"

"You guys chat, I'm leaving now." Jiang Ruyu pushed the cart and walked away quickly.

An older woman slapped her thigh and pointed at Jiang Ruyu, saying, "Look, Ruyu is exactly what you were looking for. She's tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful, and she has a good job. She doesn't have a boyfriend, and you're single too. Isn't that perfect? ​​You're both from the same compound, so you know each other well. The good stuff hasn't gone to outsiders yet."

"Now that you mention it, it really makes sense. Young Master Zheng, you wouldn't happen to have taken a fancy to Ruyu, would you?"

Zheng Yang laughed and said, "That woman is so outstanding, it's normal for me to be interested in her. It's just a pity that she might not be interested in me."

"You're not lacking in anything either. If you really have your eye on that girl Ruyu, then you'd better work hard. There are quite a few people in our alley who have their eyes on her, and quite a few people from other alleys have come to inquire about her too."

"Really? Then I'll really try my best. Wait for my good news." Zheng Yang said this, seemingly serious but actually not, and then left.

Several middle-aged women were left discussing whether he was serious or joking. Wang Cui didn't participate in the discussion; she was so angry that she didn't even cook dinner and went to find Liu Qingfeng's mother.

“Hey Zhang, your family is really shameless. You asked me to introduce your son to a girl, and I introduced him to the best girl in our neighborhood. Look what your son did! The girl saw him chatting intimately with another woman at the park. You've made me look so bad.”

Zhang Xinrong never expected things to turn out this way. Her son still hadn't returned. She thought the blind date was going well and the two young people were on a date. She only found out when the matchmaker arrived.

"Sister Wang, I'm so sorry, I really didn't know. My rascal hasn't come back yet. This is really embarrassing."

She was a strong-willed person all her life, but now she was apologizing for her son, which made her very angry.

Seeing her like this, Wang Cui knew she couldn't blame her. This Zhang family girl was also a pitiful person, widowed young, and her son was the apple of her eye. "Zhang family girl, you only have one child. You have to be careful about your marriage. Any woman in the park can easily fool you. What will you do in the future? We are a respectable family. You have to be careful when choosing a wife."

Zhang Xinrong nodded solemnly: "What my elder sister said makes sense. I must ask her clearly. I can't just let anyone into my house."

After Wang Cui finished speaking, she left, her anger dissipating. She also began to doubt her old friend's son, thinking that he was easily seduced by just anyone, which showed that he was not a decent person. Fortunately, the introduction did not go through, otherwise, if anything happened in the future, Old Madam Jiang would definitely cause trouble for her.

On the other side, Jiang Ruyu returned home. Her grandmother had already prepared the meal. She didn't say anything when she saw her, but simply set out the table and prepared to eat.

Jiang Ruyu, still a little embarrassed, sidled up to her grandmother with a smile and said, "Grandma, why don't you ask me?"

Grandma Jiang carried the steamed buns to the dining table and said, "Go wash your hands and eat."

After Jiang Ruyu washed her hands, her two younger brothers had already started eating. Only then did Grandma Jiang say, "What are you asking? Are you asking how your blind date went? Or who you went on it with?"

Jiang Ruyu paused for a moment, holding the steamed bun, and chuckled, "Grandma, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"

"My sister went on a blind date? How come I didn't know?" Jiang Lin, who had been eating without even looking up, swallowed the food in his mouth and looked up to ask, but because he ate too fast, he choked and stretched his neck.

Jiang Ruyu glanced at her younger brother speechlessly. Jiang Hui stood up and punched the little brother who had grown up in her belly twice before Jiang Lin finally swallowed his rice.

Just as he was about to ask another question, Jiang Ruyu shoved the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth: "Eat your food, you idiot."

Grandma Jiang didn't know what to say about her seventeen-year-old grandson. It seemed like he'd lost his brain while growing taller, and all he did all day was eat.

Jiang Lin continued eating, feeling a little aggrieved, while Jiang Hui ate his meal on the side, listening intently to his grandmother and sister talking.
