Inside a three-story villa, a man paced back and forth, which annoyed the middle-aged woman on the sofa.
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't hover in front of me, it makes me dizzy."
"Did you get into trouble outside, or is there a problem with your business?"
Zhu Zhou had no time to pay attention to his elderly mother when suddenly a woman's loudspeaker blared from outside.
"Young Master Zhu, is Young Master Zhu home?"
When Chen Ju heard that it was Matchmaker Fang, before she could figure out what was going on, a dark shadow flashed past her, and Zhu Zhou, who had been in the living room just moments before, disappeared.
Zhu Zhou ran up to Fang Ying and asked her anxiously.
"Auntie, how did it go? Did A-Ning agree?"
Fang Ying smiled, her face crinkling with wrinkles. "Look how anxious you are. With me here, you won't be a bachelor forever."
Zhu Zhou wasn't concerned with that; he was eager to know Su Ning's opinion.
When Su Ning's father had the accident, he happened to be away on business. When he returned, he heard that Su Ning had gone out to work.
He liked Su Ning from the first moment he saw her. Zhu Zhou moved here with his parents when he was fifteen. At first, he kept arguing that he wanted to go back to Beijing.
He didn't understand why his family, which was clearly very wealthy, would move to this godforsaken place. Having grown up in the city, he found himself completely out of place in the village.
Until one day he met Su Ning, the girl who fell in love with him at first sight. He thought that all girls in the countryside were dark-skinned and ugly.
That year, his parents were quite busy, so Su Ning's mother became his nanny.
Su Ning's mother was a very good cook. The first time he met Su Ning was when she cooked for him. He vaguely remembered that the village was busy harvesting grain at that time, and Su Ning cooked for him in place of her mother.
When he first saw Su Ning, he was attracted by her appearance. At that time, Su Ning was already very beautiful even before she had fully grown up, and she was even more beautiful than the girls he had ever seen.
"Auntie, what did A-Ning say? When are we going to propose marriage?"
Fang Ying knew the Zhu family was wealthy, so the 1,000 yuan matchmaking fee that Zhu Zhou had given her was bound to work out, even if it didn't work out. Besides, Zhu Zhou had said he would give her another 1,000 yuan after the deal was done.
"Hey, what's the rush! Girls are all shy. The Su family said they'd discuss it among themselves, and I'll go talk to them again tonight. I guarantee I'll get this done for you."
When Zhu Zhou heard the matchmaker say that, he couldn't contain his excitement.
Chen Ju finally understood. This brat had actually found a matchmaker to propose marriage to Su Ning's family on his own. No wonder he was so restless at home after returning. He was afraid that Su Ning would not agree.
"Sister-in-law Ying, let's go inside and talk. It's cold standing outside."
Fang Ying looked at Chen Ju who was speaking and waved her hand in refusal.
"No, no, I haven't made breakfast yet! I have to go home and cook."
After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Ying left. Chen Ju looked at her son, who was standing there dumbfounded in the yard, and couldn't help but tease him.
"Tsk tsk! I didn't realize you were so quick. Tell me what you were thinking, why did you decide to go and ruin that delicate flower, Su Ning?"
Zhu Zhou glanced at his unreliable mother; she was probably the first person in the world to say such a thing about her son.
"Haha! I'm starting to doubt if you're my real mother or not; I'm starting to think I was adopted."
The eldest branch of the Su family also heard about Su Ning's return, and the old lady and old man went to live with the eldest son's family.
At the dinner table, Su Mao's wife, Li Xiaojuan, mentioned this matter with a hint of jealousy. Li Xiaojuan and Li Mei's families are from the same village, and they are still married!
"The second son and his wife are finally going to have a happy ending. I heard that Zhu Zhou asked Fang Ying to go and propose marriage early this morning."
"If the second son's family can get close to the Zhu family, it'll be like a pheasant turning into a phoenix. The Zhu family is so rich, even a little bit of money between their fingers is enough for the whole family to live on."
"Smack."
The old lady slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Even eating can't shut you up. You'd be better off worrying about Su Tian's affairs."
Li Xiaojuan pouted and muttered under her breath, "Isn't it all because you spoiled Tian Tian? That little girl is so arrogant and picky."
