How did she know what she was going to say?
"You brat! I'm your uncle!"
Ulan Xun straightened his chest, trying to assert his shaky seniority and try to use his seniority to suppress others.
Gu Zuozuo shook her little fist, a smile spreading across her face, her snow-white teeth flashing with an inexplicable cold light.
"Um?"
Ulan Xun's carefully constructed momentum crumbled instantly, and he finally had no choice but to wave his hand in surrender.
"Alright, I'll confess. This is a task assigned to me by my superiors. I'm going to act as your matchmaker. The leader said you can choose any candidate you want. If you're willing, he can even bring his own son over to be your live-in son-in-law."
Gu Zuozuo sneered, showing extreme disdain.
"Thank you! I'm not interested."
What's going on? Is the Matchmaker Temple expanding this year to boost business and get promoted? Why are all sorts of people coming to introduce her to potential partners and pressure her to get married? Does her face say "I need a man"?
"Isn't it nice to have someone who cares about you and shows you concern?"
"Am I suffering from cold and hunger all day long? Do I really need someone to come and watch over me?"
"Don't you want to have a baby to play with?"
"Can I go to the place where the father keeps the son?"
Ulan Xun choked up, almost fainting from a short while.
Listen to this! Listen to this! What kind of talk is this? She actually thinks about leaving the father and keeping the son?
"You're getting married, not making enemies!"
Gu Zuozuo spread his hands, striking a pose of a roguish air, looking incredibly carefree.
"So, if they won't let me go to the ancestral home to leave my son behind, why should I get married?"
With so many houses, so much money, so much gold and jewelry, wouldn't marrying a man just mean he'd be competing with her for wealth? She's not going to do something that's a losing proposition.
"You could find a rich and powerful man!"
Gu Zuozuo pouted, looking even more unwilling.
Those who are rich and powerful all have a lot of family members. With more people come more conflicts, and she doesn't want to deal with all those relatives all the time.
Besides, which of those rich and powerful people doesn't have a stable wife at home and mistresses on the side? Just thinking about how she'd be carrying a knife and fighting off mistresses every day sent chills down her spine. Marry? Was she crazy?
No matter what Wulan Xun said, Gu Zuozuo always had her own set of theories to refute him, making the grown man sweat with anxiety. In the end, Gu Zuozuo said, "You're divorced and you're telling me that marriage has its advantages? If it had advantages, would you have been dumped by your ex-wife?" He could only helplessly surrender.
Gu Zuozuo was terrified of these people suddenly asking, "Any plans to get married? I have a lot of talented young men here, want to come and choose one?" and similar topics that pressured her to get married. So she simply shut the door and hid at home, refusing to go out again.
[Host, you chickened out! You actually chickened out?!]
The system has been enjoying watching the drama unfold lately. It even compiled a list of potential partners for its host out of boredom, a list filled with people that others wanted to introduce to her in the coming days.
"I'm not being cowardly, I'm just using tactical concealment!"
The system chuckled.
Low emotional intelligence: I'm scared, I just want to hide.
High EQ: I call this tactical concealment!
