Chapter 180 Parents' Matchmaking

“Mother, who is this…”

Qiao Mei sat beside Xu Hui, watching the middle-aged woman elegantly wiping the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and felt a little puzzled.

She didn't seem to have heard Xu Hui mention having any close female friends before.

Xu Hui introduced in a warm voice, "This is my mother's childhood friend, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, your Aunt Yange. When you were little, your mother took you to meet her, but you were too young then, so you probably forgot."

Qiao Mei indeed doesn't remember, and there's no trace of it in the original owner's memories either.

However, since her surname was Yan, she could guess a little about her identity.

The four great families in the entire interstellar space are the Xu, Li, Shang and Yan families. As far as she knows, the Xu family and the Yan family have a particularly good relationship among these four families.

Old Master Yan and Old Master Xu were both in the Federal Army and were practically inseparable. They had even risked their lives together on the battlefield. When she came to Old Master Xu to learn about mecha, she overheard Old Master Yan making several phone calls to Old Master Xu, inviting him out for drinks.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the eldest daughter of the Yan family would hang out with Xu Hui, the third daughter of the Xu family.

Exactly, why have I never heard Hsu Hui mention this before?

While she was puzzled, Xu Hui took the initiative to speak up and answer her questions.

"When I was eighteen, the year I officially married the Crown Prince, my Aunt Yan had an accident and became a vegetable. She woke up two months ago, but at that time I had not yet returned to the Xu family. The Yan family and the Xu family have a good relationship, so I couldn't bring myself to ask about my Aunt Yan's condition. Fortunately, so many things have happened to me in just two months, and things are finally starting to get back on track."

When Xu Hui got emotional, her eyes reddened.

Seeing this, Yan Ge and Qiao Mei almost simultaneously handed her a tissue, which made her quickly stop crying and start laughing. She took one out herself and said, "It's alright, I have my own hands."

After saying that, she looked at Qiao Mei with her red eyes and explained the main reason why she had called her over.

“Your Aunt Yan has a very outstanding son. I originally wanted your Aunt Yan to bring him to the Xu family’s banquet this time, but he couldn’t come because of some things. So please add his contact information and see when you can go out for a meal together.”

Qiao Mei didn't know about Yan Ge's marital status, but from Xu Hui's words, it seemed that she wanted her to develop a relationship with Yan Ge's son.

If Yan Ge wasn't there, she would definitely refuse outright.

But now that I'm in front of them, I still have to save face, so I can only put on a fake smile, turn on my smart bracelet, and enter the smart brain ID that Xu Hui gave me on the add friend interface.

However, as soon as the ID was entered, the computer displayed this message:

This user ID is already your friend. You can open your friend list to search for them directly.

Xu Hui saw it too, paused for a moment, then slapped her forehead and said in annoyance, "How could I forget? He's also at the Federal Academy now, but he's a teacher named Gong Jing. Do you know him?"

Qiao Mei: "........."

Is the world really that small?

After a moment of silence, she nodded: "I know him. He was my teacher in the mecha manufacturing class."

"Oh, what a coincidence? What do you think of him? Although he's more than ten years older than you, I heard from your Aunt Yan that he's never been in a relationship, he's handsome, and his abilities go without saying. You..."

Seeing that Xu Hui was about to ask more and more questions, Yan Ge interrupted her: "Alright, Xiao Hui, it's no use asking so many questions now. The children have to be interested in each other. Later, let's see if Xiao Mei can have a meal with Gong Jing to get to know him. I'll hear what Gong Jing thinks later and then decide. What do you think?"

Compared to Xu Hui, Qiao Mei felt that Yan Ge was much more open-minded.

After letting out a sigh of relief, she nodded in agreement: "That's right, Mother. Besides, I'm still a student and teacher with Elder Gong... Gong Jing. To be honest, we don't know each other that well, so you don't need to worry so much."

As for the fact that she and Ao Cang are already boyfriend and girlfriend, she can't tell her yet.

Otherwise, given Xu Hui's inquisitive nature, she would definitely press her to find out who her boyfriend is. If she can't answer, Xu Hui will think she's lying to her.

When she actually decides to introduce Ao Cang, she'll probably stop believing him because of this.

However, these considerations remained only in her mind and were not immediately relayed to Ao Cang.

This caused Ao Cang to become listless when she got up and led him away to the small garden for some fresh air.

He watched as Qiao Mei opened her quantum brain bracelet and searched for information about the palace again, including the Yan family's entry. A sour feeling welled up in his golden eyes, but he didn't know how to express it.

He also saw Yan Ge earlier; it was obvious at a glance that he had a very good relationship with Qiao Mei's mother.

He had met Gong Jing along with Qiao Mei and knew that he was indeed very outstanding. If he weren't a little older than Xu Heyu, he would probably be even more perfect.

Just then, Qiao Mei murmured in surprise, "So Aunt Yan and Gong Jing's father divorced. That explains why I didn't see any mention of him being a member of the Yan family when I searched for Gong Jing's personal information..."

Although the Gong family is not one of the four great families, it is a military intelligence family with close ties to the federal army.

Miyako's maternal grandfather was the former leader of the Federation Army, which shows just how powerful he was.

And not only his maternal grandfather, but also his father, uncle, and several brothers held high-ranking positions in the federal army, making him a true military heir.
