Chapter 278: The Search is a Contest of Blushing – Who Stays Blushing the Longest



The key issue is that she has no way to refuse. Every time she tries to find an excuse, her father will use excuses like "you need to raise pigs" or "you need to open a shop" to reject her.

After a period of arduous study, Li Yiyi felt she would never love again.

Piggy is no longer her first choice.

She has given up on opening the shop.

It turns out that success is something you can see, but effort is something you can't.

"My dear daughter~"

Li Laoda's voice came, and Li Yiyi's little body trembled. She knew immediately that he was calling her to learn about pig farming.

"Father, there's something I need to tell you."

With a serious expression, Li Yiyi didn't intend to give Boss Li a chance to speak.

"Dad, I don't want to run the shop anymore, and I don't want to raise pigs anymore."

Old Li chuckled upon hearing this. What he wanted was to dissuade his daughter from raising pigs, but he had to maintain a facade.

"Daughter, you need to think this through. Opening a pig's trotter shop is your dream, and Dad won't object. Dad will support you..."

"Dad, I really don't want to drive anymore, I mean it."

With a pained expression, Li Yiyi would have loved to tear out her heart if she could, to prove to Boss Li that she truly didn't have those thoughts.

"real?"

"Really, I'm sure of it."

"Alright!"

Once he was sure his daughter had given up on the idea, Li Laoda breathed a sigh of relief.

His daughter didn't want to read, which made him want to read. He called for her every day like he was calling back his soul, and he called for himself like he was calling back his soul as well.

Fortunately, this great battle over pig farming has finally come to an end.

The process was a bit tiring for him, but the result was satisfactory.

Jiang Yuting remained silent, just smiling to herself, thinking that her daughter would only see results if Li Laoda treated her.

Both Boss Li and Li Yiyi had been cooped up for a while, so they decided to go out for a stroll.

First, we went to a state-run restaurant to have a good meal and treat ourselves. This period has really been tough.

I had barely sat down when people arrived at the next table.

Looking up, I realized how small the world is; there were two familiar faces: Xu Fang and her father.

Looking at the male and slightly older female sitting opposite them, Li Yiyi thought of the word "mutual observation".

"Comrade Xu, is this your daughter? She's really beautiful. I've been a matchmaker for so many years, and I've never seen anyone more beautiful than your daughter. Look at her looks, whoever marries your daughter will be so lucky."

The matchmaker's words grew increasingly flattering. Xu Fang, encountering such enthusiastic people for the first time, blushed deeply. Her father remained silent, but his smile was undisguised, which pleased the matchmaker.

If she manages to match this couple, she'll undoubtedly be the county's best matchmaker of the year, and she'll never lack suitors.

The daughter of a soap factory manager, and the son of a cannery director.

Both families are well-known figures; if this really works out, she can brag about it for the rest of her life.

"Comrade Xu, look, this is the Comrade Xiao Gui I told you about. His mother is Director Xiao of the cannery. You should all know her."

Mr. Xu nodded. He definitely knew her; otherwise, he wouldn't have hired a matchmaker. He glanced at Xu Fang out of the corner of his eye, planning his next move.

He's not young anymore. When he's around, he can protect Xu Fang, but when he's not, Xu Fang has to protect herself.

He wasn't aware of this before, but after Zhu Kou's incident, Xu's father was completely awakened.

It's best for a daughter to have the ability to stand on her own two feet; otherwise, she'll just blindly rush headlong into everything.

Look, this is it now.

Xu Fang blushed slightly. At first, she was shy because the matchmaker said so, but later she blushed because she was looking at Xiao Gui.

The more Xu Fang looked at Xiao Gui, the more she felt that he matched her aesthetic standards—fair-skinned, delicate, and gentle—just her type, even more so than Zhu Kou.

Xiao Gui's mother is the director of a cannery, so her family must be well-off, ruling out the possibility that he was after her family's money.

"Xiao Gui, say a few words too."

Upon seeing Xu Fang's appearance, the matchmaker sensed a good chance. Sure enough, young girls often prefer men with fair complexions, greatly increasing the odds of a successful match.

"Hello, Comrade Xu Fang, I am Xiao Gui, it's a pleasure to meet you."

His scholarly air was barely concealed when he opened his mouth; his gentlemanly and polite demeanor won Xu Fang's favor even more.

Xiao Gui was not only good-looking, but she also admired his manners; unlike many other people she had met, who always had a foul, rude manner.

"Hello."

Her shy voice was barely audible, and her face was as red as an apple.

Comparing the apples in the space, Li Yiyi felt that Xu Fang's were more evenly and naturally red.

"Hello...

Xu Fang was quite pretty, and Xiao Gui took a liking to her at first sight.

Given her background, appearance, and family connections, Xu Fang belonged to the upper class, so it was normal for Xiao Gui to take a liking to her. Like Xu Fang, his fair face turned bright red.

You became famous, he became famous.

Nothing was said, yet an ambiguous atmosphere existed.

Li Yiyi's assessment of the matchmaking is here: it's a contest of blushing faces, to see who stays red the longest.

Boss Li grabbed Li Yiyi by the back of her collar; otherwise, Li Yiyi would have almost ended up at the other people's table.

As for what it's like to have a daughter who's a big shot in the theater troupe, it's probably something that would make him feel incredibly awkward.

Mr. Xu looked over, and Older Li awkwardly greeted him.

If he could, he would immediately pretend he didn't know Li Yiyi, but unfortunately it was impossible. Xu's father knew them and knew they were father and daughter.

Upon seeing Li Laoda and Li Yiyi, Xu's father simply smiled, then focused his attention on what was in front of him.
