Qiu Ze'an was so jealous, but he was also worried that Aunt Hao would actually introduce Zhong Wanwan to Dr. Hao while he was away.
Although he and Dr. Hao weren't exactly childhood sweethearts, since he used to hang out with a bunch of "hooligans" back then.
But they grew up together and had a good relationship with Hao's mother, Hao's aunt, and Hao's grandfather.
Zhong Wanwan really got together with Dr. Hao, and no matter how regretful he was, he could only back out.
Qiu Zean's childhood experiences instilled in him a deep aversion to being a "third party," and no matter how much he liked a girl, his bottom line would not allow him to be a "third party."
Don't tell me that love doesn't discriminate based on time; Qiu Zean scoffs at that statement.
In his mind, love doesn't matter which comes first, but morality does!
The difference between humans and animals is that animals follow instincts, while humans have moral standards.
If people have no moral standards, then they are no different from animals, just like those two disrespectful elders in his family...
Qiu Ze'an coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed, and explained:
"Aunt Hao, this girl isn't a good match for Brother Da."
Aunt Hao got anxious:
"Why is it inappropriate? He's just a little older. But we're a family of doctors, and we all live long lives. Besides, Xiaoda isn't old because of messing around with women. He's just a late bloomer..."
Seeing that Aunt Hao had misunderstood, Qiu Ze'an told the truth:
"Aunt Hao, you're only concerned about Xiaoda not having a girlfriend, but you haven't thought about talking to him. That's a real problem!"
"I'm 25 years old, not young anymore. If you'd like to play matchmaker, could you introduce Master Zhong to me?"
Who likes to play matchmaker? Aunt Hao doesn't have that kind of hobby. She's just anxious about her nephew's marriage. Thinking this, Aunt Hao suddenly realized something was wrong.
What? Master Zhong introduced him to the Qiu family's son?
No, no, it's Qiu's son who has taken a liking to Master Zhong!
Aunt Hao exclaimed in disbelief:
"What did you say? You've taken a liking to Master Zhong? You little rascal, do your dad and Aunt Zhou know about this? Do you think they'll approve?"
Qiu Zean was almost deafened by Aunt Hao's yelling, so he quickly covered the microphone.
However, at this time, the phone had no anti-eavesdropping function, and Aunt Zhou, who was watching Qiu Ze'an's movements, still noticed something was wrong.
She got up and walked over, pretending to ask casually:
"Ze'an, who have you taken a fancy to?"
"You silly child, why didn't you tell your dad and me if you liked a girl? Who is she? Where does her dad work? Tell us and we'll help you decide."
Qiu Zean quickly said goodbye to Aunt Hao, hung up the phone, glanced at Aunt Zhou, and said:
"Oh? Aunt Zhou cares about me that much? We don't need Aunt Zhou and my dad to advise me for now, since it's still unrequited love on my part, and the girl doesn't even know it!"
"As for whether this situation will work out, I can't guarantee it. I won't say anything in advance, otherwise you'll be disappointed, and I'll lose face."
"By the way, I'm chasing girls, and my salary isn't enough to cover my expenses. After all, buying things for them requires not only money but also coupons. Could you and my dad help me out a bit?"
"This is a very important matter, finding a wife for our eldest son. Aunt Zhou, you wouldn't object, would you?"
Aunt Zhou was cursing under her breath. How could she not have any face to save?
If you really feel ashamed, can you say you have a one-sided crush? Is there anything more humiliating than this?
Besides, why is your face so big? You're a 25-year-old young man, chasing after a girl and having your family provide financial and material support. Does that sound good to others?
Aunt Zhou chuckled dryly:
“We’re family, what’s there to be ashamed of? Your dad and I can’t tell anyone, right?”
"If you're really too embarrassed to tell me, you can talk to your younger sister. You're both young girls, so your tastes are probably similar. Your younger sister can give you some advice, right?"
Qiu Zean refused without hesitation:
"Big sister? Big sister is only 14 years old. She likes things that are only for children. How can she be like a girl in her early twenties?"
"I really sent her the gift according to her preferences. People will think I've adopted a younger sister. Aunt Zhou, are you helping or deliberately sabotaging this? You don't mean you don't want me to have a boyfriend, do you?"
Could Aunt Zhou say she didn't want to? Obviously not. Her expression changed several times, and she was on the verge of losing her composure as she said:
"How could that be? I just didn't realize that girl was over 20! She's practically an old maid; I hope she doesn't have any health problems!"
Qiu Zean said seriously:
"Aunt Zhou, what do you mean by that? Are girls in their early twenties considered old maids? If any family in the compound with daughters hears you say that, which one won't be offended?"
"Besides, is there something wrong with being an old maid? As far as I know, Aunt Zhou was almost 30 when she married my dad, so isn't your problem even bigger?"
“Aunt Zhou, you must have experienced this yourself to be so moved. Tell me, what serious problems you had back then? I promise I won’t tell my dad!”
There are many men in the compound who dote on their daughters, and they all wait until they are in their twenties before getting married.
Including Zhao Feifei, whom he introduced to Qiu Zean, she is only three years younger than Qiu Zean and is 22 years old this year.
If Aunt Zhou's words get out, there really won't be many people who won't be offended.
After all, there are more children nowadays, and there aren't many families without daughters. Even if there aren't daughters, there are always nieces and nephews.
Qiu Ze'an also cursed Aunt Zhou, saying that she was an old maid who married Qiu's father.
Of course, this is also true. When the two got married, Aunt Zhou was already 29 years old, which was definitely considered an old maid in those days!
Aunt Zhou's face turned green from the scolding, and she was afraid that Qiu Ze'an would really spread the word. She said that someone in their early twenties was an old maid and must have something wrong with her.
That made her already bad reputation in the compound even worse!
