Wen Zhaoye noticed that she deliberately walked close to people's fences, making loud footsteps, like a peacock trying to attract attention.
He pursed his lips, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "..."
Could it be that she's upset about my blind date and is deliberately trying to make me jealous?
Great, she succeeded.
Aunt Pang felt a sense of foreboding as she watched Wen Zhaoye carrying two bundles of things toward Wu Ying's house.
She had never given up on finding a partner for Wen Zhaoye, after all, Wen Zhaoye was generous, and if things went well, the matchmaker's red envelope would definitely be substantial.
However, with Xu Cuifen blocking her way, she didn't dare to make a big fuss like Wu Ying. Now, she knew that three girls had come to Wu Ying's house, so they must be looking for someone.
Fearing she wouldn't get the matchmaker's red envelope, she hurriedly went into Wen Xiaojian's house: "Xiaojian, where's your Xu Cuifen?"
"They're planting wheat in that field at the east end of the village."
Wen Xiaojian was woken up by the noise. He replied groggily and saw that Aunt Pang had run away without even interrupting.
At the same time, Wen Jiaojiao arrived at Wu Ying's house, smiling brightly and gently, and said:
"Auntie, we're here!"
She was stunningly beautiful, with exceptional looks and an amazing, outstanding presence.
Cai Mengning's fingers, hanging limply at her sides, clenched tightly as she lowered her head and looked away.
Luckily, she has a bad reputation, otherwise I probably wouldn't have had a chance.
"What a beautiful young lady!"
Adhering to her characteristic of being sweet-talking and never offending anyone, Wen Jiaojiao stood in front of her with a charming smile and finished speaking.
In the instant she looked up in surprise, she turned her head and noticed two other girls in the room, then said:
"The other two little girls look pretty too."
Wen Zhaoye glanced at her strangely, placed the two large packages he was carrying on the dining table in the main room, looked at the two families, and said in a calm tone:
"This is for you and your uncle. This is for you both. I'm sorry for taking up your time."
Wu Ying's eyes lit up, and she smiled broadly, but she replied politely:
"Zhaoye, why are you being so polite? Buying so much stuff is such a waste of money!"
Cai Liang looked at Wen Zhaoye with increasing satisfaction, and smiled so much that fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes as he said, "What's the big deal about delaying things? We have nothing else to do."
Ignoring the shy gazes of the two girls inside, Wen Zhaoye took out a pack of Da Zhong Jiu cigarettes from his pocket and casually offered one each to Wu Ying's husband and Cai Liang.
"Uncle, have a smoke."
Cai Liang subconsciously wiped his hands, took the Da Zhong Jiu cigarette, and grinned from ear to ear, greeting it with:
"Hey, sit down, you've had a long day too."
Cai Mengning lowered her head, her face flushed, and walked in. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Wen Zhaoye's unruly appearance, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably: he actually looked more masculine than before.
Seeing that he wasn't speaking to any of the three Cai sisters, Wu Ying couldn't help but speak up:
"Zhaoye, this is Mengning, don't you remember? We were classmates in elementary school?"
Cai Mengning's heart leaped into her throat, her lips pursed, anxiously awaiting an answer.
Wen Jiaojiao, intrigued, stepped inside. The main room was already small, and with so many people gathered, the space felt even more cramped.
She sat on the stool that Wen Zhaoye handed her and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, what a coincidence! You ran into your classmate!"
Wen Zhaoye glanced at her, thinking she was jealous and afraid of causing more trouble, so he gave Wu Ying a perfunctory reply:
"I've been quite busy these past few years, so I don't remember very clearly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Mengning, Cai Liang, and Wu Xiu in the room realized that Wu Ying's previous words were all nonsense. The air fell silent for a moment, and an awkward atmosphere ensued.
Wen Jiaojiao's chest was uneven, and her beautiful face showed a slightly embarrassed expression: "..."
Look, look! Even a straight man like him can have eight nieces to choose from and three sisters to look at at will.
I'll have to get rid of this identity sooner or later, or else I'll be driven crazy.
Wen Zhaoye noticed her expression and, thinking he had said something wrong, quickly corrected himself:
"It's not that I don't remember clearly, it's that I never knew there was such a classmate, I've never seen him or paid any attention to him."
The air fell into an eerie silence, even the sound of breathing seemed unusually loud.
Wu Ying's face stiffened, and she forcefully suppressed Wen Zhaoye's desire to help Wen Jiaojiao take revenge, breaking the atmosphere first by saying:
"That's true. Zhao Ye has been making money since he was a child. It's normal for him to forget important people. Now that they've met again, it's all fate, a destiny. Now that they've grown up, they're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, it's incredible."
Wen Zhaoye frowned slightly, held a cigarette to his lips, and remained silent.
That's what I meant.
When Jiaojiao gets home, she'll be so angry she'll tear the house down.
Cai Mengning lowered her eyelashes and said softly:
“I sat next to you when I was in third grade.”
Wen Zhaoye felt that Wen Jiaojiao would cause him a huge scene when she got home, so he quickly spoke up, emphasizing:
"I really don't remember. I've never paid attention to it. When I was studying, I just wanted to study hard, and when I was making money, I just wanted to make money. I never had any other thoughts."
Cai Liang's face turned green, but deep down he was extremely satisfied with Wen Zhaoye and couldn't bear to see the matter fall through. He stiffly continued, "..."
"Mengning is working as a waitress in the county town now, and it's not far from where you are."
When you go back to the factory, you can take her out for a walk when you have time, so you can get to know each other better.
With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Wen Zhaoye replied coolly and detachedly:
"I'm quite busy, I probably won't have the time."
Cai Mengning's blush spread to her neck: "..."
Does he not like me?
Wu Ying sensed that he wasn't interested in Cai Mengning, and unwilling to give up, she pulled over another girl who looked remarkably like Cai Mengning and introduced her:
"This is Mengning's younger sister, Mengjing. She's also been to school for a few years. She's very sensible and capable of holding up half the sky."
Wen Zhaoye remained silent, but Wu Ying, unwilling to give up, quickly pulled over the youngest girl and introduced her:
"This is Meng'an, what do you think?"
Looking at the girl in front of her with her youthful face and obviously underdeveloped body, Wen Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask:
How old is she?
Thinking there was a chance, Wu Ying quickly praised:
"She's 16 this year, a few years younger than Zhaoye, but she's very smart. She'll be 17 after the New Year, and getting married and having children won't stop her from doing so."
Wen Jiaojiao knew that people in rural areas valued age by the traditional Chinese reckoning (by the lunar calendar), and after estimating, she realized she was only 15 years old. She frowned slightly.
This is way too small!
However, judging from Wu Ying's obvious fear of missing out on the order,
It's quite considerate of her not to introduce Wen Zhaoye's biological daughter, who is related to him by blood.
Wen Zhaoye noticed her furrowed brows and thoughtful expression, and quickly refused, "Too young, not suitable for me."
