Chapter 116: Keep the wealth within the family
"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt. My name is Zhang Youming, and I'm Mengmeng's classmate. Your dumplings smell so good even through the screen. I'll come to your house in a couple of days to wish you a happy new year." Zhang Youming still looked very likable.
My parents immediately put on a friendly and polite smile, "Welcome, classmate, where are you from?"
"My home is in City A, and it's quick to drive here." Zhang Youming answered calmly.
I continued, "Wait for Tianyi to return to City A in a couple of days, and come with her."
"Okay, we'll come together then, it's a deal." Zhang Youming seemed very happy.
After hanging up the phone, my mom asked me, "Mengmeng, that boy was pretty good-looking. What's his family situation like?"
"His father is the president of ZK Group, and his mother is the older sister of the president of STG Group. She's a wealthy second-generation.
However, he does not have any of the bad habits of a rich second-generation. He is a very sunny and smart student and a celebrity in the School of Computer Science.
He told me that if he didn't make a name for himself, he'd have to go home and inherit the family fortune. I told him the truth.
Deng Sisi's eyes lit up even more, and she asked anxiously, "Such an outstanding boy, there should be a lot of girls who like him, right?"
"Of course, there are so many girls chasing after him."
"What about you? Do you like him?" Deng Sisi stared at me.
"I don't have any sparks with him, we are just good friends."
Deng Sisi's face was clearly filled with joy. My mother saw it and seemed to be thinking about something. Only my father frowned and said, "Mengmeng, it's not easy to find a boy with such conditions. Why don't you consider dating him for a try?"
Deng Sisi's face immediately turned ugly. My mother glanced at her and said to my father, "Old Xia, you told me not to interfere with Mengmeng's relationship, so don't interfere yourself.
Since Meng Meng herself said she has no feelings for him, forget it. If you force her to be with him, you might not even be able to be friends anymore."
Although I don't have any feelings for Zhang Youming, I know that he is definitely an excellent marriage candidate. My mother obviously hopes that I can introduce him to Deng Sisi.
I deliberately said, "We're just friends after all. I can start as friends first and get to know him slowly. Who knows, maybe one day I'll think he's a good guy and start dating him."
My dad was happy and immediately agreed, "Mengmeng is sensible. This is the right way to think. How can you fall in love madly from the beginning? Get to know him slowly. I think this boy is good."
But my mother said coldly: "If you don't have any feelings for him, why are you still keeping him hanging? If you don't have any feelings for him, why don't you just tell him clearly.
You've been classmates with him for over three years, and you haven't started a relationship yet. That means you're not meant to be together. Why not openly let him try with someone else? There's no such thing as sitting there doing nothing."
I asked knowingly with a cold smile on my face. "Mom, who do you want him to try it with?"
My mother said as a matter of course, "Doesn't Sisi have a boyfriend? You can match them up when the time comes, so that the good things don't go to outsiders."
I was so angry that I laughed. "Mom, why do you think I should be paired with someone like Deng Wenyan, and Sisi should be paired with someone like Zhang Youming? Are you playing Tian Ji's horse racing game?"
My father frowned. "If you don't want to get involved, then don't get involved. Don't match people up randomly. Families like the ZK Group have very high standards when it comes to choosing daughters-in-law..."
My father didn't say the second half of the sentence, but we all understood. The implication was that that kind of family would look down on people like Deng Sisi.
