Guo Mingli stopped lying down and sat up abruptly: "I promised the Cai family's daughter-in-law across the street that I would arrange for our son to meet the Cai family's daughter on a blind date after he comes back!"

Han Shiping was also taken aback by these words, and sat up abruptly: "What? When did you agree to this? I didn't know!"

"It happened just a few days ago. I was chatting casually with Lao Cai's wife. You know, their daughter is the same age as our son, almost at the age where she should be getting married. The two of them know each other, and we both do business in the same market, so we're familiar with each other. If they really get together, it would be a wonderful thing..."

"Foolish!" Han Shiping said angrily, "Didn't our son say on the phone before that his relationship with that Miss Tang was not simple? How could you agree to such a thing?"

"But it's not confirmed yet," Guo Mingli said somewhat awkwardly. "That brat is so hesitant, who knows what's really going on? He hasn't explained things clearly to us, so I figured he's probably unreliable. The Cai family is a better match, someone we know well and who's a good match for us..."

She was still muttering to herself when Han Shiping impatiently interrupted her: "So what do you suggest we do now? Your son has a girlfriend, and you still agreed to go on a blind date with the Cai family. Are you going to conjure up another son?"

Guo Mingli was also somewhat worried.

When Han Yunqi called them before, he was very evasive about the issue of Miss Tang. She and Han Shiping couldn't help but guess the worst. They never thought that their son could actually have a serious relationship.

So when the Cai family's daughter-in-law suggested that the two families' children give it a try, she agreed without hesitation. She had met Cai Qinghe, the daughter of the Cai family, many times. The two shops were only separated by a road, and Cai Qinghe often helped out in the shop. She was a quick-witted and cheerful girl, and she always greeted her warmly whenever she saw her. She was quite satisfied with her.

She wasn't bad-looking, and she was the same age as her son; they seemed like a perfect match.

But now that her son has found a girlfriend, what about the Cai family? Guo Mingli has never done anything untrustworthy in her life. If the Cai family finds out that her son has a girlfriend and agreed to go on a blind date with their daughter, they'll be utterly humiliated.

She was so overwhelmed by the series of messages her son brought home that she hadn't thought of this matter for a moment.

After thinking it over, Guo Mingli's eyes lit up and she said, "Let my son meet the Cai family's daughter tomorrow, and then just say that he didn't like her. That should do it, right? If my son doesn't like her, we can't force him. Arranged marriages aren't the thing these days!"

This is a terrible idea, and it's unfair to the Cai family's daughter. She went on a blind date and was rejected by the man. The two families live right next to each other, so it's embarrassing for the girl.

But there's no other good way. To be honest, Cai's wife is no pushover. She'll argue even if she's wrong. If she finds out that you're in the wrong, who knows what nasty things she'll say.

After considering all this, Han Shiping ultimately acquiesced to Guo Mingli's statement.

Unable to sleep, the couple got up and went outside. They saw light coming from under Han Yunqi's door, realizing he wasn't asleep either. They called him out, and the three of them sat back down in the living room. Guo Mingli then recounted the whole misunderstanding.

Han Yunqi...

What a mother, always sabotaging her son.
