Chapter 335 Lei Duidui
Lei Jingwu's second uncle came to drink with Lei Jingwu on the instructions of his wife.
Lei Jingwu's mother returned to the south that morning. She had been behaving perfectly normally for the past two days, and there was no sign that she had anything on her mind.
She pretended she hadn't heard about it. In her mind, she felt that as long as she didn't bring it up, Lei Jingwu wouldn't feel any psychological pressure.
If she kept trying to persuade him, Lei Jingwu might feel even more pressured and become even less interested in the woman! So, she had to pretend that nothing had happened, that her son was still her good son, still her pride.
However, before leaving, she still asked Lei's second daughter-in-law, who was also her younger brother's wife and the wife of Lei Jingwu's second uncle, for a favor.
"Jingwu is getting old and has been busy with business, so he has been neglecting to look for a partner."
His father and I are in the south and can't do much there. Could you and his second uncle keep an eye on things for me? If you find any suitable girls, please introduce them to us.
There are no special requirements, as long as the person is nice. Who knows, maybe Keigo will take a liking to someone after seeing a lot!
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingqiu's mother was overjoyed and immediately agreed to take on the task.
Lei Jingwu's mother is going to be the head of the Lei family in the future, not to mention that his brother-in-law is currently in a high position and has a bright future ahead of him!
Being able to help the eldest son's family would only benefit her! This is a big deal that's good for her husband and son.
So Lei Jingqiu's mother immediately started thinking about it.
As her second aunt, there were some things she couldn't say to Lei Jingwu, after all, Lei Jingwu was a man, not a woman.
If it were a girl, then as her second aunt, she could say a few words.
But Lei Jingwu not only has his own business, but he is also very opinionated, so I can't talk to him like I would to a junior.
They might not listen!
In that case, we'll have to find a man to talk to Lei Jingwu about this.
Which man in my hometown could talk to Lei Jingwu?
Son Lei Jingqiu? Heh, forget it. That kid is studying hard right now, and besides, he's usually as obedient as a grandson when he sees his older cousin Lei Jingwu.
Hoping he could persuade Lei Jingwu... would be utterly useless.
Lei Jingqiu's mother immediately turned her attention to her husband.
My husband is honest, kind, and doesn't talk much. He's mostly busy with his own work at his company.
Lei Jingwu usually treats this second uncle with respect, so having him step in should have some effect.
Thus, Lei Jingwu's second uncle, unable to dissuade his wife, had no choice but to agree to step in and persuade Lei Jingwu.
...
"Jingwu! You've really made something of yourself now. The other day I ran into two of Dad's old comrades-in-arms at a social event, and they were praising you!"
"You've been traveling all over the country, and your business has even reached the Soviet Union." Lei Jingwu's second uncle said as he poured Lei Jingwu a drink.
Lei Jingwu chuckled, picked up his wine glass, and downed it in one gulp.
"Second Uncle, is there something you need? If so, just tell me. I may not know others, but how could I not know you?"
"Have you encountered some difficulties?" Lei Jingwu looked at his second uncle.
This second uncle is too honest, but he rarely troubles others, not even his own family.
Lei Jingwu had a pretty good impression of him.
Of course, Lei Jingwu spoke more casually in front of his second uncle.
Lei Jingwu's second uncle was also in a bit of a predicament; it's not an easy job to advise people on finding partners!
This nephew might even think he's a busybody, spending all his time thinking about these trivial family matters.
But I can't not do it, otherwise my wife will definitely grumble about it when I get home.
Alright, let this kid have a couple more drinks. It'll be easier to talk to him once he's had a few more.
Thinking of this, Lei Jingwu's second uncle poured Lei Jingwu another glass of wine.
"What could possibly happen to your second uncle? Nothing's wrong, nothing at all. It's just that I don't see you as often these days, and it's been a long time since we uncle and nephew had a proper chat."
"Come on, have another drink with your second uncle."
Lei Jingwu quickly raised his wine glass and clinked it with his second uncle's.
Both of them finished their drinks. Lei Jingwu's complexion was normal, as if he had just drunk water.
Lei Jingwu's second uncle's face turned slightly red.
Lei Jingwu refilled the wine glasses of his second uncle and himself.
His second uncle also started rambling on.
"Jingwu, your second uncle truly treats you like his own child. I still remember when you were born, I was in the countryside."
I got drunk the day I received your photo.
My older brother was good to me. I was happier than anyone else when he had a child. Even when I was in the countryside, I would try my best to find you some fun things…
Lei Jingwu nodded and sighed.
My second uncle has started reminiscing about the past, so it's clear that the person looking for me must be someone important.
I hope this can be resolved with money. If money can't solve it... then there's nothing I can do.
While dealing with his second uncle, Lei Jingwu was already wondering what his second uncle wanted to see him about.
My second uncle wants to change jobs? He wants me to ask my grandfather to put in a good word for him?
Impossible! My second uncle's current workplace is great; he really likes it there.
So, does that mean some of my second aunt's relatives want to arrange a job for her? That's impossible. After Tian Lei's incident, my grandfather forbade my second aunt's relatives from visiting.
Could it be for his cousin Lei Jingqiu?
Isn't this kid repeating a year of high school to try and get into a good university? There's nothing he needs my help with right now...
Lei Jingwu really couldn't understand why his second uncle wanted to see him.
Finally, after his second uncle had drunk two more glasses of wine, he got down to business.
Uncle Er, whose face was completely red, patted Lei Jingwu on the shoulder.
"Jingwu, you are the oldest in this generation, so you must set a good example. Your younger brothers and sisters are watching!"
Whatever you do, your younger siblings will follow suit!
"Second Uncle, I know, what exactly do you want to say?" Lei Jingwu quickly helped his second uncle, who was already a little unsteady, to his feet.
My second uncle let out a burp, and the room immediately filled with the smell of alcohol.
"Keigo, you're the eldest brother, you should get married soon. If you don't, what will happen to the younger generation..."
"Second Uncle, Jingqiu is getting married? When did he get a girlfriend? How come I didn't know!"
There's no need to wait in line for marriage; you just get married when the time is right!
"But isn't Jingqiu repeating what he's saying? When did he start dating?" Lei Jingwu interrupted his second uncle.
As soon as his second uncle spoke, Lei Jingwu knew what was going on.
This is a marriage proposal.
It must have been something my mother told my second aunt before she passed away, and then my second aunt was too embarrassed to say it herself, so she asked my second uncle to persuade me.
Second Uncle quickly shook his head when Lei Jingwu interrupted him.
"It's not Jingqiu, it's you who should get married!"
“But I don’t want to get married, and I especially don’t want to get married through a blind date. Just thinking about having a blind date waiting for me at home makes me inexplicably annoyed.” Lei Jingwu shook his head.
"How could I possibly find this annoying? Every family does it this way!" Uncle said, a little dissatisfied.
"Second Uncle, don't you find Second Aunt annoying?" Lei Jingwu asked.
Second Uncle...
