Chapter 100 Peacock Spreads its Tail
I saw a girl walking in from outside with her back to the light, and her pure white dress seemed to be glowing in the sunlight.
The girl came closer, her black hair loose, her face without any makeup, her lips red, her teeth white, her facial features stunning, especially her fox eyes, so charming and alluring, with a bright red teardrop mole at the end of her eyes, like a luxurious rose blooming to the extreme, extremely gorgeous and pure.
Fang Zhongxing's heart was greatly shocked, his eyes were blurred, and he was stunned for a moment.
His heartbeat was accelerating like crazy, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Rou, unwilling to move away for even a second.
"Aunt Wang." Zhou Nian and Zhao Cui did not come in. Ye Rou walked in alone. When she saw Aunt Wang, she greeted her with a smile.
The last time Wang Po saw Ye Rou, she was still wearing a mask and looked dark, thin and shriveled. She had seen Ye Rou from a distance in the past two months and knew that she had become prettier, but her perception of the degree of her beauty was not clear. It was not until she saw Ye Rou up close that Wang Po realized that a girl's beauty could be so specific and vivid.
"Ye Rou, come and sit down." Wang Po glanced at the dumbfounded mother and son opposite her, and straightened her back immediately.
Ye Rou sat down next to Aunt Wang.
Old Lady Wang, drawing on her twenty years of matchmaking experience, immediately took control of the situation and began to introduce them: "Ye Rou, this is the deputy mayor's wife, Xu Xiuwan, and this is Aunt Xu's son, Fang Zhongxing."
The Fang family is well-off, so Fang Zhongxing has no trouble finding a partner, but Xu Xiuwan has high standards, and her son has even higher standards.
She has always been worried about her son's marriage. He has met all the girls in the town who are of equal status and good conditions, but her son doesn't like any of them.
Xu Xiuwan asked her son what he wanted.
Fang Zhongxing said he wanted the most beautiful one. Xu Xiuwan thought that since she was not satisfied with the one in the town, she could look for one in the village. Their family was well-off, and as long as the girl was good, she didn't care about her family conditions.
After a while, she found Wang Po and said she wanted to find the most beautiful one. The other matchmakers hesitated and declined, but Wang Po agreed immediately and vowed that she was definitely the most beautiful one.
Wang Po praised the girl to the highest heavens, but Xu Xiuwan didn't believe it. The best a matchmaker says is just average, and average is very bad. But when she actually met Ye Rou, she realized that Wang Po was a sincere person. She wasn't exaggerating at all, and what she said was completely true.
This girl is so beautiful. Even at such a close distance, she doesn't have any flaws. She is just at the age of a flower, and her skin is so tender that it seems like you can squeeze water out of it.
Ye Rou smiled and greeted: "Hello, Aunt Xu, hello, Comrade Fang."
Xu Xiuwan smiled and nodded: "Hello, Xiaorou, right? You are so beautiful."
After she finished speaking, she saw that her son didn't move, so she poked him.
Fang Zhongxing spoke like a tape recorder, his voice stuttering: "Ye, Comrade Ye, hello."
Xu Xiuwan tried hard to restrain the urge to roll her eyes, the brat failed at the critical moment.
Unable to count on him, Xu Xiuwan asked with a smile, "I heard from Grandma Wang that Xiaorou is a doctor?"
Ye Rou shook her head: "Just helping out at the clinic."
Xu Xiuwan nodded and said, "Not bad, he is a humble person."
Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Don't look at Xiaorou just because she's pretty. She can make clothes and cook delicious food."
Xu Xiuwan glanced at Ye Rou's dress, a style not available in town. She smiled and asked, "Did you make your own dress too?"
Ye Rou said calmly, "Just do it blindly and wear it blindly."
"This dress has a unique style and exquisite stitching. It can't be made without skill." Xu Xiuwan praised Ye Rou's craftsmanship.
She pinched her son and asked him to speak.
Fang Zhongxing's cheeks flushed, and he said dryly, "That's amazing."
Xu Xiuwan: “…”
The last soup was served and the waiter said with a smile, "All the dishes are ready."
Xu Xiuwan handed the bowl and chopsticks to Ye Rou: "Eat first, the food will get cold soon. Let's eat and talk."
Ye Rou had eaten breakfast and was not hungry at all. She just took a few symbolic bites.
Fang Zhongxing's movements were awkward and reserved. He didn't pick up any food at all, but just held the bowl and shoveled rice frantically.
Seeing her son's dumbfounded look, Xu Xiuwan knew that he had chosen her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, the four people walked out of the state-owned restaurant.
Xu Xiuwan suddenly said, "Po Wang, let's go first and let them be alone for a while."
Wang Po agreed with a smile.
Ye Rou was unwilling and wanted to call Aunt Wang, but the old lady in her fifties slipped away quickly.
Only Ye Rou and Fang Zhongxing were left, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fang Zhongxing was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
Ye Rou said calmly: "Comrade Fang, I..."
She was interrupted by Fang Zhongxing before she could finish her words.
He asked anxiously, "There's a commendation meeting in town today. Do you want to go?"
Ye Rou had no interest in the commendation meeting and was about to refuse when Fang Zhongxing continued, "A rare flu outbreak hit Lijia Village. At the critical moment, it was Li Si from the medical clinic who stepped in to save more than a dozen lives. Today's commendation meeting is being held in his honor."
Ye Rou swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth: "Okay."
Fang Zhongxing was surprised: "You agreed."
Ye Rou nodded: "Let's go now."
Fang Zhongxing led the way in front, with a faint fragrance surrounding him. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
——
In the county auditorium, Jiang Weiguo saw Jiang Chen, walked over, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Why are you dressed like a Kaiping peacock today?"
Jiang Chen sat in the corner of the first row, the light lingering at his feet. Half hidden in the shadows, he leaned lazily against the back of his chair, his right hand resting on his head, his slightly long hair hanging down. He wore a grey suit, a black shirt underneath, a new look for him. He was already handsome, and this makeover made him even more handsome.
The front three buttons of his black shirt are undone, his long legs are crossed, he looks lazy and casual. Although he is sitting in an ordinary way, he looks more handsome and imposing than others.
Jiang Chen chuckled and was in a particularly good mood.
Jiang Weiguo ignored his showy look and walked around him. Only Jiang Chen's two familiar younger brothers followed him, and Ye Rou was not seen.
"Where's Ye Rou? She's the protagonist today and must be present."
When Jiang Chen heard Ye Rou's name, he didn't respond.
Meng Guan on the side said, "Zhou Liang went to pick up his sister-in-law. She should be here soon."
Jiang Weiguo noticed something was wrong and asked Jiang Chen, "Did you have a fight with Ye Rou?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "Are you free?"
Jiang Weiguo snorted coldly: "I don't know what Ye Rou likes about you. You have a sharp tongue and a bad temper." He is also crazy.
He didn't say the last word.
Jiang Chen paused his tapping hand on the table. He knew Ye Rou liked him, but Ye Rou never said what she liked about him.
Meng Guan suddenly said, "Zhou Liang is here."
Jiang Chen sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and turned his head seemingly unintentionally. When he saw Zhou Liang coming in alone, he withdrew his gaze and his face suddenly darkened.
Zhou Liang walked over nervously.
Seeing him coming back alone, Meng Guan wondered, "Where's my sister-in-law?"
"Haha." Zhou Liang's smile was particularly stiff: "My sister-in-law is not in the village."
Jiang Weiguo was impatient. Today's event was very important, and Ye Rou had to be there. Seeing Zhou Liang, a grown man, hesitant to speak, he hurriedly asked, "Where did you go?"
Fang Tian, Meng Guan and Jiang Weiguo stared at Zhou Liang with burning eyes.
Only Jiang Chen faced Zhou Liang sideways, looking straight ahead with an indifferent look.
Zhou Liang said with difficulty: "My mother said..."
"Speak!"
"Sister-in-law went on a blind date!"
