Chapter 482 I've Liked You for a Long Time
Meng Yujiao picked up the photo and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.
Her father's boss is so ugly it's unbearable to look at!
Meng Yujiao put down her phone and looked at Meng Yu: "Aunt Meng Yu, although he's a bit chubby, he's powerful and influential! That can make up for that, right? Besides, it's not like he can't lose weight! You can just make him some weight loss pills! And let me put it bluntly, you're already this age, if you don't get married soon, no one will want you! You might never meet someone as outstanding as him again!"
Meng Yu snorted coldly: "Adults speak! Who are you, a child, to offer advice? If you think he's good, why don't you marry him! If I marry him, even if there are benefits, they'll go to my family, what does it have to do with yours? You might as well marry him, then all the benefits will be your family! No need for this intermediary, isn't that better!"
Meng Yujiao's eyes widened: "Auntie, what are you saying?! You want me to marry this kind of old man? Are you crazy?!"
Her words made the old man and woman's expressions even worse!
Meng Ying glanced at his daughter, his eyes flickered, but thinking of Lan Yan, he decided to continue persuading Meng Yu.
“Xiaoyu, I’m your family, how could I hurt you? To be honest, you’re both at this age, romantic love isn’t realistic, you have to be practical, right? Having a caring partner, having a light on for you when you come home from a night shift, someone to keep you company when you’re thirsty, cold, or sick, isn’t that better than that cold, sterile lab? Besides, if you marry someone else, with all your classes and experiments, where will you find the time to take care of a family? Other families will definitely have objections. My supervisor is very good; you’ll be a free agent after marriage! He’s made that clear!”
"Big cousin, just tell me straight. What did he give you that made you push me into this trap so relentlessly? We're not stupid. You said it yourself, I'm already this old, I'm still a university professor, and I even got into Professor Cheng's lab. Do I look that stupid and easy to fool? Putting everything else aside, apart from my senior brothers and sisters, none of you are as smart as me, right? How can you think I don't understand the purpose behind what you said?"
Seeing Meng Yu speak so bluntly, Meng Ying's expression darkened: "Yes! There are benefits for me! Once I have a brother-in-law in the central government, how far am I from promotion? We're all family! If I'm doing well, everyone's doing well, right? We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders! Putting aside my own selfish motives, I genuinely think he's a good match for you! Don't set your standards too high! This person is the most capable person you can get in touch with! We're 38, not 18! You have to face reality! In two years, you'll only be able to find those ugly ducklings, or even those ugly ducklings won't want!"
Yue Zemin sneered: "Whether she's 18 or 38, what does it matter to you? If you don't like her, you don't have to come here! Every word you say is for your junior sister's good! Every word you say is just using her to do favors! Ask anyone here, who can't see through your scheme? You call her a 'misfit'? At 38, your junior sister is not only an associate professor at Qingdao University, but also a member of one of the top laboratories in the country! Either of those two things would easily beat all of you. Do your 'misfits' even deserve it?!"
Gu Yin raised her voice: "Unworthy!"
Meng Ying also got angry: "Since Xiaoyu is so good! Then find someone who is worthy of her and doesn't mind her age! What's the use of just opposing her!"
Gu Yin patted Yue Zeming: "My senior brother is the perfect match!"
Yue Zemin, who was just about to agree with Gu Yin, was startled. After hearing what she said, his face immediately turned red!
"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense!" After saying that, he secretly glanced at Meng Yu and saw that Meng Yu was also staring at him in shock. Yue Zemin immediately looked away and stopped talking.
Everyone else in the room looked at Yue Zeming.
The old lady and the old man looked at their daughter, and then at Yue Zemin, who, even though he was 45, still looked like he was in his thirties. They closed their mouths, thinking that the two of them were quite a good match!
Gu Yin: "Where did I say anything wrong? My senior brother is a professor at Qingda University, and also my teacher's apprentice. He works in my teacher's lab, and he's single. He's also handsome and refined. I think he's the perfect match!"
While listening to Gu Yin, Yue Zemin secretly straightened his clothes, his posture becoming even more upright.
Meng Ying was furious: "Those two are so close! They've known each other for over ten years. If they were going to be together, they would have been together long ago. It means they don't have any feelings for each other!" How could this brat have thought of Yue Zeming! Luckily, Yue Zeming is an acquaintance, otherwise he would have been really worried that Meng Yu would fall for him. After all, Yue Zeming is indeed a good catch, and the two have common interests.
Gu Yin tugged at Yue Zemin: "Senior brother, is what he said true? You two don't like each other?"
After saying that, he leaned closer to Yue Zemin and whispered, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't seize such a good chance, you're doomed."
Yue Zemin coughed lightly, his eyes darting towards Meng Yu. Seeing that Meng Yu was still looking at him, he straightened up and stood up.
Meng Yu: "..."
Gu Yin: "..."
Gu Yin looked at everyone and said with an awkward smile, "Formal! Standing up means formal! It means we value it!"
Everyone: "..." If they hadn't seen Yue Zemin's clenched fists, they would have believed it!
Yue Zemin turned his head away from Meng Yu, took a careful deep breath, and then said, "Well, although we are acquaintances, I really do like my junior sister, it's just that she doesn't know it."
With so many people watching and hearing his senior brother's words, Meng Yu felt a sudden pang of panic for some reason.
"When did you start liking me?" Meng Yu asked, puzzled.
Now that he had said it, Yue Zemin was no longer nervous. He looked at Meng Yu and said helplessly, "The year you were in graduate school, the year your teacher took you to the lab to do odd jobs."
Meng Yu exclaimed in surprise, "So long! Why didn't you ever say anything?"
Yue Zemin sighed: "Every time you were on night shift recording data, I was there with you. Whenever you didn't understand something, I was the first to explain it to you. I also often helped you get breakfast. I was always the most enthusiastic when I came to your house. Both of my senior brothers knew about it, but you didn't react at all. Later, the teacher found out and said that you might not have figured it out yet, so I stopped mentioning it."
Meng Yu looked embarrassed. When she was first brought into the lab, she was both nervous and excited, afraid that she would be kicked out of the lab by the teacher if she did not do well. During her master's and doctoral years, she was focused on her studies and did not pay much attention to or have any thoughts about men and women.
Later, she stayed at the university as a counselor and a teacher. She was also extremely busy in order to be promoted to professor. When she got older, her parents asked her to date. She met a few people, but they all fell through because she was too busy.
