Chapter 661 A Twisted Fate (19)



Xiang Wan burst out laughing. At Ah San's age, he would have a lot of young girls liking him in modern times. How come he was considered "too old" in Ji Meiniang's eyes?

However, his age was irrelevant to her. It was just a collaboration; she needed to dispel Ji Meiniang's doubts first.

“Mother, if you’re worried, why don’t you look around for a suitable girl for him? He’s getting so old, it’s really worrying that he’s not married.”

Ji Meiniang looked at Xiang Wan suspiciously, feeling that there was something wrong with her daughter's words.
