Han Xiuqin was still excited and said with a big smile, "Of course there's good news. Yi Xian called me today, and guess what? Our Qihua has taken a liking to a girl. The girl comes from a good family, and she's good in every way, including looks and job. The girl's family is also very satisfied with our Qihua. Jinyu is preparing to act as a matchmaker for Qihua."
Yi Xian said that the marriage was almost a done deal, and Qi Hua's marriage was settled. I was truly relieved.
"Wow, Qihua really made the right choice going to City C. Now he's not only the director of the City C Pharmaceutical Research Institute, achieving some success in his career, but his marriage is also looking promising. How could I not be happy?"
Yuan Fengshan was also pleased to hear this, "Good job, this kid is quite decisive. He's only been in City C for a few months and he's already caused such a stir, not bad."
However, this was also thanks to the help of Yi Xian and others. Without Yi Xian's strong support, he could not have become the director of the research institute so easily. He was only twenty-three years old.
I called him that day to lecture him about not being arrogant and complacent, but he was quite modest, saying that he would never have achieved such success without the help of his older cousin and sister-in-law.
Yuan Qiliang said, "It's Qihua's good fortune to be able to follow his older cousin to City C. With his cousin's help, he's bound to do well. But Qihua is also capable on his own, and he truly deserves the position of director of the research institute."
Han Xiuqin said, "Don't even mention your brother, he'll have a girlfriend soon. What about you? When are you going to let us see your boyfriend too?"
"I've introduced you to girls, but you haven't liked any of them. So what kind of girl do you actually like?"
Yuan Qiliang said somewhat helplessly, "Mom, you can't blame me if you don't like them. All the girls you introduced me to were either pretentious, spoiled, or had a princess's temper, and some had no manners at all. You can't blame me for not liking them."
My requirements aren't high. If you find me a girl like Yuhan, I'll definitely agree to accept her.
Han Xiuqin rolled her eyes at her son and said, "You think your standards are high? How many girls like Yuhan are there in this world?"
Yuan Qiliang said, "I didn't say she has to be as capable and competent as Yuhan. I meant she just needs to have a personality like Yuhan's—generous, elegant, efficient yet gentle and considerate. You wouldn't think my wife is too much worse than my cousin, would you?"
Yuan Fengshan glanced thoughtfully at his eldest son and said, "The qualities you've mentioned are already quite remarkable. As you said, to be elegant and poised requires a certain level of education and refinement; to be decisive and efficient requires a high degree of self-confidence. And to be gentle and considerate requires patience and meticulousness. Do you think an average girl possesses all these qualities?"
Han Xiuqin said with a smile, "Well done, Lao Yuan, your analysis is quite insightful. Now that you mention it, Yuhan is truly extraordinary."
Yuan Fengshan said, "When I first saw Yuhan, I felt that her temperament was contradictory, yet harmoniously combined in one person. I felt that she was extraordinary at that time, but I never expected her to give us such a big surprise."
Girls like Yuhan are rare in this world. It's already a stroke of luck that Yixian met one. It would be almost impossible to find another one like her.
Qiliang, you're not getting any younger. Your mother and I haven't forced you, so it's time to put an end to those thoughts in your mind. Find a girl who can settle down and build a life together, don't drag this on any longer.”
Yuan Qiliang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Mom, please have someone introduce me to someone. She should be thrifty and gentle, that's all I ask for. I don't need anything else."
"Alright, I'm a little tired today, so I'm going to rest now."
After saying that, Yuan Qiliang got up and went upstairs, looking somewhat dejected.
Han Xiuqin watched her son go upstairs, then turned to her husband and asked, "Old Yuan, what did you mean by that just now?"
Yuan Fengshan said, "Don't ask what you mean. Your son has already agreed to go on blind dates again. Just find him a good match according to his requirements."
My requirements are that she must be of good character and appearance. When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one; after all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, so she needs to be magnanimous and able to fulfill the roles of eldest daughter-in-law and elder sister-in-law.”
Han Xiuqin said, "Do you even need to tell me? Of course I know. Actually, the ones we introduced before weren't too bad, it's just that our son is too picky. I'm not in a hurry this time, I need to find a good girl for him."
Wen Jinyu didn't waste any time and quickly went to the Cui family to act as a matchmaker for Yuan Qihua.
Bai Xiuyan was overjoyed to receive Wen Jinyu's confirmation. She never expected that such a wealthy husband would fall into their family; it was truly a stroke of luck. Her daughter was also blessed.
She also inquired about the Yuan family's situation, saying that it was truly a great honor for the Cui family for their daughter to marry into a family like the Yuans.
After Cui Jiancheng returned home, Bai Xiuyan told her husband the good news.
Cui Jiancheng was somewhat incredulous when he heard this. "You mean we're going to form a marriage alliance with Han Yixian's aunt's family? And Sister Liu personally came to propose marriage?"
Bai Xiuyan said, "Didn't I take my daughter and Xiao Sitian to visit the Han family a couple of days ago? When Sister Liu saw Yuting, she told me that Han Yixian's aunt asked them to introduce a suitable girl to Han Yixian's cousin Yuan Qihua. She thought our Yuting was good and asked me if I would like to."
How could I not want to? Yuan Qihua's qualities are incredibly rare, even with a lantern. In City C, there are probably countless people eyeing Yuan Qihua.
I've heard that Luo Minjuan from the Jian family in the ** compound is asking around about Yuan Qihua, saying she's taken a liking to him again and wants to introduce him to her daughter.
Cui Jiancheng frowned and asked, "Who told you that?"
Bai Xiuyan said, "Of course, I heard it from my cousin in the ** compound. She's very well-informed. She said Luo Minjuan is asking around about Yuan Qihua's recent affairs, and even declared that their family has decided on Yuan Qihua as their son-in-law, and no one can compete with them for him."
I've had quite a bit of dealings with Luo Minjuan before, and I know her inside and out. She just doesn't know her own limitations, thinking she's something special just because she married into the Jian family. Does she think she can just decide on Yuan Qihua like that?
Cui Jiancheng said, "Luo Minjuan is really outrageous. She ruined her daughter's life. Now, I guess no decent young man would dare to accept her. Just because of her mother, who is materialistic and loves to marry above her station, she has scared away many people."
Bai Xiuyan said, "That's right. Which family doesn't consider the family background when choosing a partner? Just look at the fact that the Jian family has a matriarch like Luo Minjuan. Which family wouldn't think twice before looking for a wife? Not to mention her daughter, even her youngest son will be influenced by Luo Minjuan when he looks for a wife in the future."
That's why they say you have to marry a virtuous wife. If you marry someone like Luo Minjuan, it will have an impact on generations to come.
Because of Luo Minjuan's extraordinary deeds, almost everyone in the C City circle knew about her actions, and many people avoided her like the plague. As a result, Jian Chunhua also became someone people avoided.
