After saying that, he turned and went into the house, leaving Shen Yuqin standing there dumbfounded.

Why? Didn't we agree to go on a blind date?

She was attentive and enthusiastic all day long, practically writing "I like you" on her forehead, but Chu Chaoyang remained unmoved.

The image of Shen Jingyan's beautiful and delicate face, and her slender and graceful figure, appeared in her mind.

It must be because of Shen Jingyan that Chu Chaoyang is neglecting her!

First it was Zhou Zhengqing, and now it's Chu Chaoyang. This vixen is a menace!

Inside the main house, Chu Jincai's family bid farewell to Shen Honggang and Chen Feng, preparing to return to the city.

Chen Feng hurriedly asked Chu Chaoyang, "Nephew, what do you think of my Yuqin? She's a rare gem in all the surrounding villages. If you married her—"

Although it was a blind date, no elder would ask a younger person such a direct question. Shen Honggang looked embarrassed and tugged at Chen Feng.

"The two children have only just met and don't know each other very well yet. Why are you in such a hurry to ask these questions?"

Chen Feng ignored Shen Honggang's words and continued to press for answers:

"What's wrong with me asking? Your family isn't an outsider. If you're a good match, it'll be better to settle down sooner rather than later. That way, we elders can feel at ease, right?"

Chu Chaoyang was a straightforward person and didn't mince words. He simply repeated what he had said to Shen Yuqin.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's face immediately fell.

The speed at which he changed his expression was even faster than that of Sun Wukong.

Tong Huijuan was a very worldly-wise woman. Seeing Chen Feng's strange expression, she chuckled, pulled Chu Chaoyang behind her, stepped forward, and said in a gentle voice:

"Sister-in-law, my Chaoyang is just quick to speak. He says whatever comes to mind, and sometimes he doesn't even think it through before the words just slip out."

Chu Jincai quickly followed Tong Huijuan's lead and said, "The two children met for the first time and didn't exchange more than a few words. I think we shouldn't rush them to express their opinions. Let's come back on the fifteenth of the first lunar month and let them talk to each other."

"Dad, Mom, I've already told you..." Chu Chaoyang didn't like this ambiguous attitude.

Tong Huijuan pinched him: "You child, go back and talk about it."

When Chen Feng heard that Chu Jincai's family would be coming again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she felt there was still hope for the matter, and her expression softened.

Shen Honggang and his wife saw Chu Jincai's family to the door. As they parted, Chen Feng grabbed Chu Chaoyang's coat and said earnestly:

"Auntie knows you think Jingya is pretty, but let me tell you, that girl is nothing special except for her good looks, cooking skills, and calm personality."

She's become infamous in the village for seducing many young men because of her beauty. Your aunt doesn't want you to make a mistake. My Yuqin is hardworking, reliable, and kind. Marrying her would be your good fortune. You should think it over carefully when you get back!

Chu Chaoyang frowned frequently as he listened, but considering the ambiguous relationship between Gu Zhiqing and Shen Jingyan, he was skeptical of Chen Feng's words.

After getting in the car, Chu Jincai said to Chu Chaoyang with a smile, "Chaoyang, the way your mother said it just now was to save face for your aunt. Her daughter isn't very likable, and if you had just said it outright, she would have been embarrassed."

Chu Chaoyang asked sullenly, "Are we still coming on the fifteenth of the first lunar month? I don't want to see Shen Yuqin again; she's too annoying."

Tong Huijuan patted his broad back and laughed:

“Son, why are you so naive? You believe words just for show? Mom knows you like Jingya, and your dad and I like her too. We’re coming on the fifteenth of the first lunar month, and we’re bringing generous gifts. I’ve seen Jingya’s figure pretty well, so we’ll buy clothes and shoes that fit her figure, and you can give them to her. Then your dad and I will propose to your uncle. Even if Chen Feng objects, it won’t matter!”

Chu Chaoyang suddenly understood. So when his parents said they would come again next time, it was to give Jingya a betrothal gift!

A smile spread across his lips, but then vanished.

"Mom, my aunt said Jingya is seducing men..."

Tong Huijuan shook her head violently: "Impossible. I've seen through Chen Feng's mouth. She just spouts nonsense and dares to make up any kind of lie. She talks about her daughter like a fairy. I think she's just a sow!"

Chu Jincai also said, "Chen Feng's words cannot be trusted. I don't know how Gangzi, such an honest and kind man, could find such a morally corrupt woman as his wife, and she has also raised her daughter to be a terrible person."

However, involuntarily, the image of Shen Jingyan helping Gu Zhiyun leave appeared in Chu Chaoyang's mind.

Seeing that Chu Chaoyang seemed hesitant, Tong Huijuan patted his hand and said:

"If you're worried, Mom will ask around the village for you!"

Just then, the jeep drove up to the vicinity of the forest farm, where Anzi and three or four other children of similar age were playing and having a great time.

Tong Huijuan remembered Anzi speaking the truth without any reservations at the dinner table, and she had an idea.

She asked Chu Jincai to stop the car, and she and Chu Chaoyang walked towards the group of children playing.

Anzi saw the two of them and greeted them happily.

"Auntie, Brother Chaoyang, are you going back?"

Tong Huijuan took a handful of candy from her coat pocket and distributed it to the children one by one.

As someone with connections, Anzi naturally received a few more.

"Kids, let me ask you something. You all know Jingya, right?"

All five children, including Anzi, nodded in agreement.

"Sister Jingya is so beautiful!"

"She's even prettier than the fairies in New Year's paintings!"

"Sister Jingya is so kind to us, she often gives us food!"

The children started praising him one after another.

"Have you seen which young man in the village Jingya is on good terms with?"
