"Mingqian, I wanted to let the two children get to know each other better and see if they hit it off. So I'm asking for your opinion."
"Xiuna, let's forget about it. There's a big gap between our two families. We're not a good match."
"Mingqian, you're supposed to be a teacher, an intellectual, how can you be less open-minded than me? Materially speaking, my family is well-off, but in terms of background, we naturally can't compare to yours. Having lived in our circle for so many years, seeing too many examples of worldly interests and business marriages, I never look at things from just one side. I've liked your Shushu since she was little, and you've raised her very well. If they really get together, don't worry about Shushu not living well in our family. We don't have daughters, and we treat both daughters-in-law like daughters. I treat my eldest daughter-in-law the same way. Don't you know what kind of person I am? So, let's take advantage of this New Year to try and bring them together."
In the end, they really didn't like each other, so we let it go. What do you think?
“I really like your son Mu Yin, but I’m afraid the two kids won’t click, which would make them feel awkward and that would be bad.”
"So, let's not say anything, just give them more opportunities. If they really have feelings for each other, things will naturally progress."
"Your method is quite good."
The two mothers conspired together in the restroom to end the meeting.
When they parted, Mrs. Bai specially invited Yun Shudai to visit their home sometime.
After everyone left, Mrs. Yun looked at her daughter, who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and hesitated in her heart, wondering if it was right or wrong for her to work with Mrs. Bai to bring the two together.
"Shushu, what do you think of your Aunt Jin's family?"
"It's great, Mom. Aunt Jin is so enthusiastic, I can hardly handle it."
Aunt Yun laughed: "That's just how your Aunt Jin is. The men in her family are all quite reserved, but your Aunt Jin is the life of the party. Your Uncle Bai dotes on her. He says that since he married her, the house has become much more lively."
"Mom, are all couples complementary to each other?"
"Pretty much. You're quite stubborn, I don't know what kind of person you'll end up with."
Yun Shudai took her mother's arm and said with a hint of coquetry, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find someone who loves me and cherishes me, and of course, someone who will love you all too."
Mother Yun laughed heartily: "You're such a smooth talker."
The mother and daughter chatted as they cleared the table. Then Yun Shudai went upstairs and sent the original picture to Mu Qing: "Hello, Mu Qing, I've sent you the picture. This is Shushu."
This picture incorporates some traditional Chinese elements. She used the porcelain pattern she took at her father's house last time to draw a character from a mythological story.
I just uploaded it to the platform, and I didn't expect Mu Qing to see it. Now that she knows it's her, how can I ask for payment?
Mu Qing, who was still on her way back, looked at the picture sent by the little kangaroo and smiled in surprise: "So this painting was done by Shu Shu. I didn't expect her to be so talented in painting. Second brother, do you think this picture is pretty? I'm going to make it into a phone case."
Bai Muyin turned his head and glanced at it. He roughly knew who had sent it. What surprised him the most was that Miss Yun could actually paint.
"Auntie, take a look."
"Hmm, it's quite pretty, it's in a traditional Chinese style?"
"Hmm, it has a mythical feel to it. I quite like this color scheme, and it suits my identity as a lawyer very well."
"Shushu is majoring in fine arts, so it's normal for her to be able to draw. She's also opened an account on a short video platform. I'll follow her and see what her name is."
"Hey... his name is: Little Kangaroo Y."
“Wow, quite a few fans, several hundred thousand already, second brother, take a look.”
As Mrs. Bai spoke, she moved her phone in front of Bai Muyin, letting him glance at it. Knowing that her son wouldn't react much, she put the phone away and said to Mu Qing, "Don't talk about your phone case. Tell me, your aunt asked you to find topics to liven up the atmosphere today, but you actually ignored your second brother. Were you doing that on purpose?"
“Auntie, you’ve wronged me. I was just trying to help you out. You were too obvious in your matchmaking, which made my second brother and the girl feel awkward. You can ask my second brother if you don’t believe me.”
"Is it really that obvious?"
Bai Muqing nodded: "Yeah, I'm practically telling you two to hurry up and start dating."
Mrs. Bai glanced at her niece and said to her son who was driving, "Second son, I'm serious, what do you think of Shushu?"
"Mom, don't do these things in the future. They'll embarrass people."
"What's awkward? Your Aunt Chen and I had a great chat. Mom was asking about Shushu. Don't change the subject."
Bai Muyin frowned slightly and said simply, "I don't like it."
Not only did Mu Qing like Yun Shudai's mythological illustration, but many people also messaged her wanting an illustration based on it, but she didn't sell any of them.
However, her series of winter illustrations was bought by the same big merchant as before, apparently to be used in calendars and desk calendars.
She had no idea the Bai family was talking about her, and that she'd been rejected by a handsome guy.
