Episode 428 Swallowing a Needle
Jiang Yuxu didn't respond, but just covered his mouth and coughed.
Shen Zheng saw his unnatural reaction, which was obviously shyness, and he found it even more rare - in his lifetime, he could actually see Jiang Yuxu showing such an expression because of a relationship between a man and a woman.
Do Song Yi and Fu Xijing know about this?
This world is crazy after all.
After sighing about this, Shen Zheng couldn't help but become curious again about what kind of woman could have the ability to make Jiang Yuxu's iron tree bloom.
But before that, Shen Zheng remembered another important point: "Do you know how to chase women?"
Jiang Yu preface: "I am studying."
At least, judging from Gui Qing's feedback so far, he should be learning quite well? At least they can talk again.
Chen Zheng: "Have you ever confessed your feelings to the person you're pursuing?"
Jiang Yuxu: "I have discussed my ideas."
Shen Zheng: "What's her attitude?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Not sure."
Shen Zheng: "You confessed your feelings, but she didn't give you an answer?"
Jiang Yuxu nodded.
Shen Zheng patted his shoulder and laughed, "As expected of someone who hasn't been in a relationship for over 30 years."
Jiang Yuxu: “?” What was wrong with what he said just now? Why did it make him feel emotional?
"If she's not interested in you, she'll directly reject your confession without giving you an answer. There's only one possibility," Shen Zheng said. "She's playing hard to get with you, keeping you hanging."
And you, an inexperienced virgin, have been fooled and don't even know it.
Of course, knowing that Jiang Yuxu was thin-skinned, Shen Zheng said this in his heart.
However, out of consideration for Jiang Yuxu's mental health, Shen Zheng still reminded him: "It sounds like the opponent's rank is quite high. You are no match for her. Good luck to you."
Jiang Yuxu didn't listen to what Shen Zheng said next, all his attention was on the previous sentence.
"Are you sure she's keeping me hanging?" Jiang Yuxu and Shen Zheng asked, "Does that mean she's also—"
"Two possibilities." Chen Zheng never thought that he would one day be someone else's emotional analyst. "Or, she likes you, but is afraid of looking cheap if she agrees too quickly, so she's keeping you hanging and observing your performance."
"Another possibility is that she has other options besides you. Maybe she's also investigating multiple options while still keeping you in the dark. It's human nature for a wise bird to choose the right tree to inhabit." Shen Zheng said, "Wealth, occupation, physical fitness, age, and family background all need to be considered. After all, when it comes to marriage—"
"I have no problem with these." Jiang Yuxu said this with great confidence, every word was firm, but it did not give people the feeling of blind self-confidence.
"Of course. In terms of background and status, there are few who can compare with you." Shen Zheng said with a smile, "You still don't understand the nature of marriage."
Jiang Yuxu: "Essence?"
Chen Zheng: "Have you ever heard of swallowing a needle when getting married?"
"Your family background may sound impressive at first, but smart people won't give you priority," he said. "You'll only live a comfortable life if you marry someone with a similar background and slightly better financial conditions."
When Chen Zheng was young, he was also passionate and put love first. After all these years of experience, he has a completely different understanding of marriage. What marriage needs most is not love, but equal strength.
Only when two people check and balance each other can the balance be stable and life can last long.
A woman who can be liked by Jiang Yuxu must first of all be of good condition and well-educated, and she must have many admirers. In her consideration, Jiang Yuxu's family background is not necessarily a plus.
Jiang Yuxu listened to Shen Zheng's analysis and remained silent for a long time.
Because he felt that it made sense.
Moreover, this was a perspective he had never considered before - Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng actually did not have too strict requirements for his choice of a spouse. They had introduced him to blind dates before purely because he himself did not take action, and they did not force him to settle down with anyone.
However, he never talked to Gui Qing about family matters.
Gui Qing may not accept him now because of this consideration.
"Thank you." Jiang Yuxu thanked Shen Zheng, "I hadn't considered this before."
Shen Zheng: "Do your uncle and aunt know that you are pursuing someone?"
He once again reminded Jiang Yuxu as someone who had experienced this, "If you don't know, I suggest you clarify it first."
Jiang Yuxu pondered for a few seconds and nodded, "Okay."
…
After Shen Zheng left, Jiang Yuxu thought about his words over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.
He should indeed explain Gui Qing's situation to Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan first - regardless of whether Gui Qing was concerned about his family background or not, this matter should be mentioned in advance.
This also reflects his seriousness and sincerity.
As for Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan's attitudes, Shen Zheng was not worried.
Gui Qing is excellent in all aspects, and there is also the relationship with Gui Yan. Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan are not pedantic people. It is understandable that she has had several boyfriends at her age. They will not doubt her character because of this.
Jiang Yuxu is a man of action in most decisions. After making a decision, he takes action that same night.
Jiang Yuxu got off work on time at six o'clock and drove directly back to the Jiang family's old house from the law firm.
He came back suddenly. When he entered the room, Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan were already having dinner in the kitchen.
The couple were both surprised to see him come in.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back?" Qiao Wan was surprised.
Jiang Zhengze asked directly: "Is there an emergency?"
Jiang Yuxu is a workaholic. He usually returns to the old house during holidays or weekends. It is rare for him to go there on weekdays.
Usually they only come back when something urgent happens.
"No." Jiang Yuxu shook his head, "But there is something I want to tell you."
"Sit down and talk while eating." As soon as Jiang Zheng finished speaking, the aunt had already placed the tableware over.
Jiang Yuxu said "thank you" to her, pulled out a dining chair and sat down next to Qiao Wan.
Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng continued to eat.
After Jiang Yuxu symbolically took a few bites, he suddenly blurted out, "I have someone I like to marry."
Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Jiang Zheng frowned slightly, and Qiao Wan's eyes were filled with surprise.
The couple had experienced big scenes, but they were still somewhat shocked by this sentence.
"Who is it?" Jiang Zheng reacted and asked.
Jiang Yuxu: "He's an engineer from a foreign company that my law firm works with. We were classmates."
Qiao Wan: "That's great, she must be an excellent girl. When will you bring her back to see me?"
Jiang Yuxu: "She hasn't agreed to me yet."
Qiao Wan was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "You have come to this day too?"
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
Jiang Zheng: "You have no experience in this area, so it's normal that the other party is not interested in you."
Jiang Yuxu: "It's not that I don't have a cold."
Qiao Wan: "You are quite confident."
Jiang Zheng: "When it comes to matters of the heart, you can't take it for granted."
Qiao Wan: "Since no one has agreed to your request, why did you come all the way back to tell me and your dad about this?"
