"Hey, aren't I just worried that you'd feel awkward? Besides, meeting in a coffee shop is so old-fashioned. You can have a good chat in the car on the way to the airport, and naturally get to know each other better. I racked my brains to come up with this idea for you, but you still don't appreciate it." Fang's mother curled her lips.
"That's right. Xiao Jin, I don't know if you still remember Hang Xingyi. He used to come to our house for dinner when you were in high school, when you were only in junior high. He went abroad after the college entrance examination and only came back after all these years. He's already found a job in G City, in finance. He happened to be single, and your Uncle Hang and the others thought it was a good match, so they arranged for you to meet."
"That's right. We had planned to have dinner together as two families this weekend, but who would have thought that his company would call and he would have to rush back. This guy has good conditions in every way, but his work is a little too busy. I'm a little worried that he won't be able to take care of the family in the future." Fang's mother pondered to herself.
"That's true." Father Fang was also worried.
If not now, when?
Fang Jianjin put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran straight into his bedroom.
"Oh, kid, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Fang's mother was anxious. She immediately got up and chased after him, then reached out and knocked on Fang Jianjin's door.
"Mom, I still have work to do. I'll go to work first!" Fang Jianjin replied in a hoarse voice, then lay down on his bed as if he had heard nothing.
Fang's mother clapped several times, but when she saw that she ignored her, she sighed helplessly.
Father Fang walked over, patted his wife on the shoulder, signaled her to calm down, then took out his cell phone, forwarded a message to her phone, and whispered a few words to her.
Fang's mother's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly clicked send on the message on her phone. Then, facing the closed door, she spoke, "I've sent you Hang Xingyi's flight information, contact details, and the time to pick him up tomorrow. Our two families have already agreed on this matter. If you don't go tomorrow, your father and I will be breaking our promise, and it will be embarrassing for us to have any more dealings with your uncle Hang's family. The car keys are hanging on the hook at the entrance of our house, so you can decide for yourself."
When Fang Jianjin heard this and looked at the text message on her phone, she was so shocked that she sat up from the bed, her mouth wide open, "No way..."
She immediately stood up and opened the door, just in time to see her mother with a smug look on her face.
"Mom? That's too cruel!"
"Thank you for the award. It was your father's idea."
Mr. Fang immediately wiped his nose in an innocent manner.
Fang Jianjin puffed up her cheeks, glared at her father speechlessly, and reminded him, "Dad, stop pretending. You're just an old fox."
"How can you talk like that? You're so disrespectful." Fang's mother reached out and knocked her on the forehead.
"Mom, every time you're ordered around by my dad, you still protect him!"
Mother Fang raised her hand again.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I can go and send that person off tomorrow, but I have a condition." Fang Jianjin bargained quickly.
"What conditions?"
"I want to adopt a dog."
"Look." The tabby cat also came over.
Fang's mother immediately pointed at the tabby cat and said, "It's not enough to adopt Diandian, you also want to raise a puppy. Don't you know that cats and dogs are enemies?"
"I know, but Xiaobai is very pitiful. Now that Xiaobai is injured, even if I have to find someone to adopt him in the group, I have to hold on until he recovers. Don't you think so, Mom?"
"Xiaobai? Xiaobai from the neighborhood?" asked Fang's mother.
Fang Jianjin nodded immediately. "I finally managed to deal with Su Laoer and finally set Xiaobai free. Mom, Dad, you've all seen Xiaobai. Isn't he very pitiful, huh?"
As she spoke, she pulled Fang's mother's arm and shook it, using her ability to act like a spoiled child.
Fang's mother was still hesitating.
Fang Jianjin used her trump card, "Since you don't agree with me raising Xiaobai, I won't go on the blind date tomorrow."
Fang's mother glared at her, but seeing her determination, she took a deep breath and said, "You can keep Xiaobai, but it's only temporary. Once he's better, find him a home. There are always stray cats and dogs in this house. I'm afraid of them, and your father won't clean them up. It will be too late when you get home from get off work."
"Yes, yes, as you say!" Fang Jianjin was delighted to see that she had easily convinced her mother this time. She picked up Diandian from the ground again, grasped its little paws, and bowed, "Thank you, mother!"
Finally, a smile appeared on Fang's mother's stern face.
"Mom, look, you keep saying you're scared, but our Diandian is so well behaved, isn't he?"
"Go away!" Fang's mother kicked her in.
Fang Jianjin put the cat down very obediently, walked out and said, "I'll clean up the dishes!"
When Fang's mother saw her attentive look, she looked at her husband and sighed.
After everyone went to the kitchen, she couldn't help but say, "If Xiao Jin were as serious about finding a boyfriend as she is about finding a cat or a dog, why would I worry?"
"It's okay, isn't there a blind date tomorrow?"
"Oops, I forgot to ask Hang Xingyixi if he likes cats and dogs. If he doesn't like them, then wouldn't that mean..." Mother Fang immediately looked at Father Fang.
Father Fang also looked at her blankly, then he could only sigh and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay." Both of them shook their heads.
