In fact, Cheng Haoyu agreed to stay at Huang Lei's house simply because he heard from Wang Ye that Zheng Xinyi bought his family's fabric store. However, he didn't expect that when they met again, she had become the recognized future daughter-in-law in the eyes of the Huang family.
Cheng Haoyu suddenly felt as if there was a stone blocking his chest, making him feel suffocated. After he walked out of the clinic, he did not return to the Huang family. He walked back and forth several times, and finally collapsed at the door of Xinyi Clinic.
Zhou Shui hadn't returned home all night, and there was no word on where he had gone. Zheng Xinyi had left the door open all night, so when daybreak came, she stood up and stretched. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned and half-knelt down: "Cheng Haoyu? Why are you sleeping here?"
Judging from his posture, he must have been guarding here all night! Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she took out a blanket from the house and covered him with it. Because she was used to it in military training, her reaction was particularly quick. When the blanket just touched his skin, she turned around and grabbed his arm, twisting her arm like she was catching a bad guy, and the blanket fell from Zheng Xinyi's hand.
"Ah!" Because of the force, Zheng Xinyi subconsciously cried out in pain.
"Zheng Xinyi, why is it you?" Cheng Haoyu quickly let go and rubbed her arm, which was red from being scratched. "Are you okay?"
"It hurts, it hurts. I think I strained it." Zheng Xinyi frowned and grimaced, showing that she was really in pain.
"What should I do?" Cheng Haoyu was at a loss for a moment.
"Pick up the blanket and help me in. There's medicine for the sprain inside." Cheng Haoyu picked up the blanket on the ground as she said, and then carefully wiped her arm according to her instructions.
"Xinyi." Matchmaker Li came over cheerfully early in the morning. Seeing Cheng Haoyu wiping her arm, she was startled: "What's going on?"
"I accidentally sprained it." Zheng Xinyi quickly stood up to greet her. "Matchmaker Li, what brings you here so early?"
This matchmaker Li was a famous matchmaker in Beijing. She had come to her clinic for treatment several times and even grabbed her arm, saying that she wanted to be a matchmaker for her. So Zheng Xinyi was naturally impressed by her.
"I'm here to act as a matchmaker for you." Matchmaker Li said happily.
Zheng Xinyi's eyes widened as she looked at Cheng Haoyu in surprise. Her face flushed red immediately. She gave him an unnatural smile and pulled Matchmaker Li aside. "Didn't I tell you before that I don't want to find a husband yet?"
"But this time it's different. I have received the deposit and am entrusted by someone." Matchmaker Li shouted at the top of her voice.
Zheng Xinyi was really confused. "Then may I ask who entrusted you with this task?"
"Liu Yun! She came to me early this morning to try to match you up with her son, Huang Lei." Matchmaker Li completely ignored Zheng Xinyi's surprised look and continued, "Xinyi, I, Matchmaker Li, am praising Huang Lei. This young man is handsome and has a stable job. He's a doctor in a military hospital. Hey, aren't you a medical student too? People in the same field have something in common, so I think you two are the perfect match."
Once Matchmaker Li started talking, she couldn't stop. Zheng Xinyi took out five dollars from the bar counter and stuffed it into Matchmaker Li's pocket. Five dollars was not a small sum of money at that time. Matchmaker Li was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "It seems that you are satisfied with this marriage?"
Zheng Xinyi tightly held onto Matchmaker Li, who was about to run away: "No, I will personally go and talk to the Huang family about this marriage."
