"What grudge do you have against me?" Zhou Yulan rolled her eyes at Le Yao. "She's the girl my cousin went on a blind date with. My mom was the one who introduced them."
Le Yao nodded. She knew that Han Xiangdong had been on two blind dates. The one last year was arranged by her aunt. So the woman's name was Cao Chunying. "What happened to her? I remember my mom saying that she didn't seem to like my brother, right?"
“Yes.” Zhou Yulan nodded. “Actually, it’s not that she didn’t like my cousin, but that someone else introduced her to someone else. Apparently, his family was very well-off and lived in the city. My mother didn’t mention that it was my cousin who was introduced to her, and the other people didn’t tell her anything specific either. So, she assumed he was just an ordinary villager, and naturally, she would choose the one with better conditions.”
Le Yao nodded. This was understandable, since they weren't familiar with each other, so it was natural to want someone with better conditions.
"As it turned out, the city guy didn't like her."
"Wouldn't she turn around and want to be with my brother again?"
“If she still thinks her cousin’s conditions are just average, then I think it’s okay for her to go back to him. But the key thing is that she later found out that the person she went on a blind date with was our brother. So she naturally knew that you are super rich and that our brother is now in the city. Therefore, she regretted it and came to Third Master’s house a few days ago.”
Le Yao frowned. Who is Third Master?
“Our relationship is a bit complicated. Third Master is the one who lives in the back of my house. His name is Zhou Fu. However, he has been with my family for five years, but according to seniority, I should call him Third Master. His eldest daughter, Zhou Mei, married Li Changshan in town, and this Cao Chunying is Li Changshan's niece.”
Le Yao's lips twitched; the relationship was so convoluted, it was like a series of nine twists and eighteen turns.
"Cao Chunying told Third Master that she'd thought it over and thought our brother was pretty good, and wanted to date someone." Zhou Yulan pouted. "Then she even came to my house, asking my mom to play matchmaker again, but she kept complaining that my mom hadn't made things clear back then..."
"My brother definitely wouldn't be interested in her."
“Yes, but I’m worried she won’t give up,” Zhou Yulan sighed. “What if she tries to scheme against me? I know you’re shrewd, I’m telling you this so you can help me be on guard.”
"You make it sound like you're so naive," Le Yao retorted, pouting.
"That's so boring. I'm praising you, you know?"
"Then thank you."
"But to be honest, Nie Baozhen was really nice later on, but it's a pity that Han Xiangdong didn't like her. I don't know what kind of wife that guy was looking for."
"Don't worry about it," Le Yao chuckled. "My parents aren't worried either."
"I'm just worried that if he finds a powerful sister-in-law, your life will be miserable. Don't you know what's good for you?"
"As long as it's reasonable, I think a strong-willed sister-in-law is pretty good. It's better than being bullied, right?" Le Yao rolled her eyes at the other woman. "Take you for example, such a fierce little firecracker. Do you think no one will dare to marry you in the future?"
"Why are you making personal attacks?" Zhou Yulan glared at her.
"I'm just telling the truth," Le Yao said, shrugging.
Just as Zhou Yulan was about to say something, she suddenly stared wide-eyed at the doorway as if she had seen a ghost, then chuckled twice: "This person really can't stand being nagged."
