Chen Meiyuan was in a good mood today, and she was slowly watering the flowers until a cold gaze stared straight at her, which startled her so much that she quickly turned around.
When Chen Meiyuan saw Shen Jialiang staring straight at her, she was speechless.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Shen Jialiang said coldly, "Didn't you say it was a family meal? Why is it a blind date?"
Chen Meiyuan, feeling guilty, avoided eye contact and watered the flowers with the watering can in her hand.
"If you marry her, won't you become family?"
Shen Jialiang frowned, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
"I've already said, I don't want to get married right now!"
Shen Jialiang originally had a childhood betrothal, but he broke it off after returning from studying abroad.
His mother then started trying every possible way to get him to go on blind dates.
Seeing Shen Jialiang's cold attitude, Chen Meiyuan snorted.
“I think you’ve gone stupid from studying abroad! I told you to get married to Xiaoting before you went abroad, but you didn’t want to and even wanted to break off the engagement. She waited for you for four years, and you just came back and broke off the engagement.”
Shen Jialiang said in a calm tone, "Nowadays, we value freedom of marriage. Did you ask me if I was willing to go through with the arranged marriage you made for us?"
Chen Meiyuan's eyes widened. "I asked you, and you said you were willing."
Shen Jialiang: "...Chen Meiyuan, I have absolutely no recollection of her. How old was I back then? How can you believe I'm saying something like that?"
Chen Meiyuan touched her nose guiltily and exclaimed "Oh dear!"
"How did you feel about meeting that girl today? She's beautiful, studied abroad, and is also the Lin family's niece."
She looked around and thought Song Zhiya was pretty good, quite a good match!
Shen Jialiang spoke in a flat tone and turned to leave.
"It's not good. If they do something like this again, I'm not going home."
Chen Meiyuan pursed her lips; other people's children are already married.
Shen Jialiang is almost 27 and still not married!
Chen Meiyuan sighed, "He doesn't even like this one? Could it be that Shen Jialiang likes... men?"
After thinking it over, she felt that this was very likely.
After all, this kind of trend is popular abroad.
Chen Meiyuan was immediately terrified, wondering if she should poison Shen Jialiang and force him into marriage.
But if she does that, Shen Jialiang will definitely be angry.
Chen Meiyuan sighed, feeling uneasy no matter how she thought about it.
While Chen Meiyuan was still pondering how to get Shen Jialiang married quickly, the family's maid led the guests in.
"Madam, we have a guest."
When Chen Meiyuan looked up and saw Du Guizhi, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Guizhi, what brings you here? Please have a seat!" She turned around and smiled at the maid beside her, saying, "Auntie, could you please pour me a cup of tea?"
Du Guizhi put down her Gucci horsebit bag, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.
Seeing Du Guizhi's expression, Chen Meiyuan's heart skipped a beat.
She tentatively asked, "Is there something wrong with the blind date?"
Du Guizhi sighed, "Meiyuan, if your son didn't want to go on blind dates, why did you ask me to set him up? It makes me, the middleman, feel so awkward! What kind of blind date involves letting the other person order food and then leaving the woman to pay the bill?"
Chen Meiyuan did not expect Shen Jialiang to turn on her so suddenly.
She forced an awkward smile. "To be honest, my Jialiang really didn't want to go on blind dates. So I lied to him about it, and he probably didn't know. How about this, I'll treat him to a meal separately next time to apologize."
After hearing Chen Meiyuan's explanation, Du Guizhi felt much better.
"Okay, I'll explain it to Zhiya later."
Chen Meiyuan smiled apologetically, "Thank you so much! Jialiang has never treated a lady like this before..."
…
In a small courtyard, Chen Jiayi sat at a table, looking at the questions in front of her with a troubled expression.
How do I solve this problem? I understand what the teacher just explained, but I still can't figure it out by substituting the formula.
Sigh, sigh, why do people have to study?
Seeing Chen Jiayi's distressed expression, Song Zhiyan walked up to her.
"What don't you understand?"
Chen Jiayi noticed that everyone around her was looking at her, and she said shyly.
"No, I understand everything."
Song Zhiyan nodded and said, "Now that you understand, go up and solve this problem."
Chen Jiayi: "..."
Rather than standing on the platform and being embarrassed by not being able to do it, she would rather be on the ground admitting that she can't do it.
Chen Jiayi said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I don't know how."
Song Zhiyan spoke too fast; she didn't understand before it ended.
Song Zhiyan said softly, "If there's anything you don't understand, don't be shy. Your foundation is much weaker than others. I'll tutor you after school."
Chen Jiayi nodded, very grateful.
Song Zhiyan's teaching style is actually very easy to understand, and Chen Jiayi can understand it after thinking about it for a while.
Song Zhiyan glanced at her wristwatch; it was already 7:00.
"It's too late today, let's study another day. Actually, for academic subjects, you just need to memorize by rote. But for math, physics, and chemistry, you need to be quick-witted and able to apply your knowledge flexibly."
He said this to Chen Jiayi while packing his things.
"Although you started relatively late, fortunately you can still use your brain flexibly."
Chen Jiayi smiled and asked, "Teacher, are you praising me?"
Song Zhiyan paused for a few seconds, then said, "Mm."
The two walked out of the courtyard together, and a woman's figure rushed directly into Song Zhiyan's arms.
