"It's my niece from my maternal family, Jiang Tang. You've met her before. She's beautiful and does well in school. I think she and Lin Xiao are a good match. What do you think about me setting them up?"

Lin Hai thought for a moment, and the image of a girl appeared in his mind: "Jiang Tang? She is indeed a nice girl, but Xiao Xiao is still young, so there's no rush."

Jiang Mei massaged his shoulders and said, "Now is the perfect time. Think about it, they meet now, date for two or three years, then get married and have a big, healthy son for you next year. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Lin Hai was also tempted by this: "Alright, you can arrange for them to meet and see if the two children are meant to be."

"That's wonderful!" Jiang Mei was overjoyed. Her sister-in-law had asked her to ask for help several times, but she didn't know how to bring it up. She never expected that it would be done so easily today.

With her niece's looks, Lin Xiao, that country bumpkin, would be completely smitten. Alas, it's a pity that her womb is uncooperative; over the years, she's only given birth to one daughter, who passed away from illness when she was just a few years old. Otherwise, she would never have been willing to give such a wonderful girl as her niece to that boy Lin Xiao.

With such a large family business, it's just been given away to Lin Xiao, that tough guy. I'm so unwilling to accept it.

The next morning, Lin Xiao was about to go to Lin Xi's house when Jiang Mei stopped him: "Xiao Xiao, why don't you go out for a meal with Auntie today? It won't take you too long."

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment. He had promised Xiao Xi that he would go to the school today, and besides, he wasn't very close to Jiang Mei. He could tell that she didn't welcome him back, and he was about to refuse when...

Lin Hai also spoke up: "That's right, your aunt and I have something to tell you today. You've been so busy these past few days that you haven't been home much. Can you take some time to spend with your dad today?"

Seeing that Lin Hai had said so, Lin Xiao could only nod and say, "Okay, then I'll tell Xiao Xi so she won't keep waiting for me."

Jiang Mei reminded him, "Go upstairs and change your clothes. Wear the outfit I bought for you last time. Also, tidy up your hair properly and don't let it get messy."

Lin Xiao looked at his clothes; they were fine. He had dressed up carefully to see Xiao Xi. Seeing Jiang Mei pushing him upstairs, he stood there without looking suspicious and said:

"Dad, be honest, what are you trying to do? Why do you want me to change when I'm dressed perfectly fine?"

Jiang Mei was afraid that he would find out and refuse to go, so she quickly said, "It's nothing, just having a meal with your dad. If you don't want to change, then don't. Let's go now."

Her niece is probably getting impatient.

"Wait a minute, I'll go tell Xiaoxi."

Seeing that Lin Xiao had disappeared from sight, Jiang Mei said to Lin Hai, "Look at you, every word you say is so 'Xiao Xi,' do you even care about your father or your aunt?"

Lin Hai was not happy to listen to her complaints and said impatiently, "Alright, they made an appointment. It would be impolite not to say anything. Take my clothes and let's go. We'll wait for him outside."

Jiang Mei let out an "Oh," and realized it was the same thing again. This had been her way all these years. Whenever she said a few more words, he would become impatient. She didn't know what had bewitched her back then, but she was determined to marry him, even at any cost.

Upon arriving at the reserved restaurant, Lin Xiao was overjoyed to see Jiang Mei and walked over to greet the mother and daughter.

He recognized the mother and daughter; they were Jiang Mei's sister-in-law. She had a sharp and mean face, and every time she saw him, she would give him a fake smile, which made her face look terrifying.

Although Lin Xiao didn't know what Jiang Mei was up to, he instinctively disliked her and was about to turn around and leave when Jiang Mei came over and pulled him forward, explaining, "Isn't it a coincidence that we ran into your aunt and your sister Jiang Tang today? Let's share a table."

They forcibly pulled Lin Xiao to sit next to the girl named Jiang Tang, and then turned around and pulled Lin Hai to sit opposite them.

"Oh my, look at these two children, they are such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they make people's hearts flutter."

Lin Xiao said awkwardly, "Auntie, I have something to do, I'll go first."

Jiang Mei stopped him from leaving, saying, "Don't go, the elders are here. It would be impolite for you to leave early. Let me introduce you. This is your aunt's daughter, Jiang Tang. She studied abroad before and just returned to China recently. You young people have common ground, so chat for a while."

Jiang Tang gracefully extended her hand and said, "Hello, I'm Jiang Tang, nice to meet you."

Originally, her mother asked her to come for a blind date today, which she was extremely unwilling to do. What era are we living in? Who still cares about arranged marriages? In other countries, people have free love.

After being forcibly pulled over, she, a young woman, sat there waiting for so long before they finally arrived, and she was already unhappy.

But when she saw Lin Xiao walking over, she held back a string of complaints. This boy was good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She took a liking to him at first sight. He was more handsome than all her previous boyfriends.

It seems Mom has a good eye this time. She had heard that he was a country bumpkin who had only been here for a few years and thought he would be sallow and thin. So even though Mom told her that everything in the Lin family would be his in the future, she was still not satisfied. She wouldn't be happy to be with a man who was ugly as hell, no matter how rich he was.

Seeing the girl staring at him with dazed eyes, Lin Xiao smiled perfunctorily and said, "I am Lin Xiao."

She looked even more beautiful with a smile. Jiang Tang withdrew her hand without any embarrassment: "What do you like to eat? I'll order for you. The food here is alright. Although it's not as good as the food abroad, it's acceptable for this place."

Jiang Tang eagerly placed a crab roe bun on his plate, but Lin Xiao looked at it and wouldn't touch it. Jiang Tang asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like this? What will you eat then? Let's order something else."

She reached out and called the waiter over, but it was a busy time, and after calling several times without the waiter coming, Jiang Tang started to get angry.

"Mom, what's so great about this place? We called the waiter for ages and he didn't respond. You should really check out the service abroad; that's what you call good service."

He reached out and picked up a porcelain bowl, smashing it on the ground: "Hey, you guys, didn't any of you hear me? Are you deaf?"

People in the loud restaurant turned to look at her.

The waiter quickly came over and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, we've been a bit busy today. What would you like to order?"
