Xia Wensheng was truly stunned when he heard about this...

He and Minghuan had been agonizing over this for ages, and it turns out all they had to do was ask his mom?

Ms. Ke, speaking to her stunned son on the video call, said with an air of superiority and aloofness, "What's this? Let's get together tomorrow and I'll help you find out more."

After saying that, she took out her phone and sent about ten lucky red envelopes to her girlfriends' group chat. She planned to get everyone to come out first, and then invite them to the beauty salon the next day.

Xia Wenxi watched in disbelief as the previously quiet group suddenly became active.

So even wealthy ladies like to scramble for these measly little things in group chats...

"It's just for fun, not because I really care about the money."

Xia Wenxi hesitated for only three seconds before grabbing Ke Shurong's arm. "Mom, can I come to the tea party tomorrow?"

Ke Shurong hesitated for a moment, but looking into her daughter's longing eyes, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Sure, but all the people going are aunties around the same age as Mom. Are you sure you want to go?"

Ke Shurong thought to herself that if her daughter went, she would have to tell them to watch their words so as not to corrupt the child.

"OK, OK!" Xia Wenxi nodded vigorously.

"Okay! Mom made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon, let's go together."

That night, Xia Wenxi went to sleep with a wonderful longing for gossip, and woke up early the next morning full of energy.

She finally made it to the afternoon, and Ke Shurong found her little face amusing, so she secretly resolved to dig out more dirt today!

"Oh my, Mrs. Xia's daughter is so beautiful, why didn't you bring her out sooner? Did you hide her away and not want us to see her?"

"How old are you? Are you still in school? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Is taking the postgraduate entrance exam a good idea? What major are you studying?"

"Don't be afraid, the aunties are old friends of your mom. Come out and play with your mom more often in the future!"

...

Xia Wenxi's fascination with gossip clouded her judgment. She was only thinking about coming to listen to other people's gossip, never expecting that she would be the first one to be gossiped about after arriving.

And the aunties seem particularly enthusiastic about introducing potential partners...

"I have a boyfriend, Aunt Zeng..."

Xia Wenxi looked to Ke Shurong for help, wondering how her boyfriend had suddenly become his girlfriend...

Ke Shurong received a look from her daughter and tried to steer the conversation away from there. "My daughter has a boyfriend. A friend of mine asked me to help her daughter find a partner. You know how it is these days, young people don't care much about looks. It's just that their families are getting anxious!"

Sure enough, her words immediately resonated with many.

"Isn't that right? My son is almost thirty and still hasn't found a girlfriend. When I said I wanted to have a grandson, he just called me grandma! His father and I are so angry we could die."

The auntie seemed really angry; she was so angry that she even swung her hand while speaking, and the two large diamond rings on her hand made Xia Wenxi stare blankly.

"How old is your friend's daughter? Maybe she'd be a good match for my son!"

Ke Shurong casually replied, "I think it's around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, about the same age as your son. I'll ask him again another day."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Ke Shurong smiled and changed the subject, "My friend wanted me to ask the second son of the Yin family. His family also works in the government, so she wants to find someone in the government."

As Ke Shurong spoke, she showed a disapproving expression. "I said that the system doesn't matter. What's important is that the family is easy to get along with. Otherwise, your daughter will suffer after marrying into the family. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Xia Wenxi stood there dumbfounded. Her mother's acting skills were truly natural!

Sure enough, someone responded immediately.

A woman waved to everyone, gesturing for them to come closer.

Xia Wenxi knew that this was the "big move" coming, so she quickly moved closer to Ke Shurong and into the crowd.

"Haven't you heard? Mrs. Yin is thinking about arranging blind dates for her second son. I heard that her second son found another girlfriend, but she's not satisfied with her. She wants to find a daughter-in-law she likes as soon as possible, just like before."

“Oh my, what do you mean by that! It’s not enough to mess with one son, she has to mess with a second one too? If my son could find a girlfriend, I’d be happy with any kind of one.”

That's what Mrs. Pigeon Egg said.

"That's right! We live in a new era now, and people who still stick to the old ways should be despised!"

"Do you think Mrs. Yin will succeed this time?"

At first, the woman who broke the news scoffed, "I think it's unlikely. Once is never enough. Maybe her son is really determined this time. I also heard that Mrs. Yin is looking for a girlfriend for her son, and she's saying she requires the girl to be able to play a musical instrument."

"I know about this! Yin Lao Er's first girlfriend was... uh... a violinist!"

After the lady finished speaking, she glanced at Ke Shurong. At this moment, everyone remembered that Ke Shurong's son's girlfriend was also a musician.

Ke Shurong waved her hand, "Why are you looking at me when you're talking about their family matters? My Huanhuan is a pianist, and she's paired with my son, who's tone-deaf. What more could I ask for?"

"That's right, we're not like her."

"If you ask me, it's all about freedom of love these days. Take that guy, Mr. Qi from Yifeng Seafood, for example. His family didn't approve of their son's girlfriend, and what happened?"

The crowd moved closer. "What's wrong?"

"His girlfriend was pregnant, so she had an abortion and went abroad! As a result, his son tormented himself to the point of near death. Just last month, he went abroad to find someone, but whether he'll be able to find them is anyone's guess."
