After the two finished coloring the ceramics, they left their delivery address with the shop manager and left the ceramics store.
Thinking that there would be a 2000-watt light bulb when I got back, I decided to take a walk in the nearby park before going back.
After following the navigation for about 5 minutes, Luo Shimiao looked at a stone tablet in front of the gate, which was engraved with the six characters "Hushi People's Park".
Luo Shimiao said, "We've arrived."
Upon entering the park, Luo Shimiao saw that the pedestrian walkway on her right was filled with uncles, aunts, grandmas, and grandpas.
They sat neatly on both sides of the pedestrian walkway, leaving space in the middle, each holding a parasol.
"It's so lively, what are they doing?" Luo Shimiao let go of Gu Nian's hand and ran over.
Luo Shimiao approached an old man, squatted down, and looked down at a piece of A4 paper on the ground. It contained detailed information such as age, height, household registration, education, job position, and income.
I suddenly understood; it turned out to be parents helping their children find partners, which is what's now popular as a matchmaking corner in a park.
The old man looked at the pretty girl in front of him and his eyes lit up: "Young lady, how old are you? What kind of boyfriend are you looking for?"
Luo Shimiao smiled and said, "I have a boyfriend. I just came to check it out out of curiosity."
"Oh," the old man said with a regretful expression.
Luo Shimiao turned around to look for Gu Nian and found him being chatted up by an older woman.
"Young man, I think you're quite good-looking. My daughter happens to be single, why don't you two add each other on WeChat and chat? My daughter is exceptionally outstanding; she's beautiful, gentle, generous, thrifty, and a woman who knows how to manage a household."
The woman talked for a long time, but when she realized the other person wasn't listening and was looking away, she frowned and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face. She thought, "Young people these days are getting more and more impolite."
Luo Shimiao ran over and took Gu Nian's arm.
Gu Nian then replied, "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend."
The older woman looked Luo Shimiao up and down, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
A question mark appeared on Luo Shimiao's forehead. What kind of look was that?
The older woman said in a strange tone, "Young man, I've been there, so I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: you can't marry a wife who's too pretty. It's not safe if she's too pretty; she'll easily get cheated on."
"Just have fun with her. When looking for a wife, you should find someone like my daughter. She's not only highly educated and has a high income, but most importantly, she knows how to manage a household."
"Pretty girls only know how to dress up all day long. They dress up so extravagantly every day, I don't know who they're trying to impress." After saying that, he glanced at Luo Shimiao.
Luo Shimiao was so angry he laughed. Was this old lady's body imbalanced, trying to improve her health by being a hermaphrodite?
Respecting the elderly and caring for the young are traditional virtues, but some people don't deserve them!
Luo Shimiao said, "Oh, your daughter is all grown up and can't find a boyfriend, so you're trying to steal my boyfriend. Your daughter is 34 years old, and my boyfriend is 25. May I ask if your daughter has good teeth? Can she handle this young man?"
The woman's face darkened instantly, and she pointed at Luo Shimiao, saying, "How can you talk to your elders like that? You have no manners at all!"
Luo Shimiao smirked: "You need to be polite when talking to people, not animals."
The woman's chest heaved violently with anger, her eyes wide with fury. She pointed her finger at Luo Shimiao's nose, her mouth agape but unable to utter a word.
He glanced at the documents in the woman's hand and continued, "I'm not only prettier than your daughter, but I'm also 14 years younger than her. As for my education, I graduated from Saint Asia University."
"My career is just starting out. Although my income is not as stable as your daughter's right now, as long as I work hard, earning a million a year is still quite easy."
"As for a motorhome, I don't have one yet, but if my dad is willing to pay me back, I can buy one anytime."
Gu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly. Why would his future father-in-law take Miao Miao's money?
The older woman scoffed, "You're just bragging. I've never even heard of Shengya University. It must be some kind of diploma mill. How can it compare to my daughter's prestigious university?"
"And you said your career is just starting out and your income is unstable, so where did you get the money to give your dad? That's contradictory. Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself?"
Luo Shimiao said, "Your child didn't receive any lucky money during the Chinese New Year? That's so pitiful."
The old woman laughed as if she had heard a joke: "Even if you start saving money from birth, and you save 100,000 a year, it will only be 2 million in 20 years. What kind of nice house can you buy with 2 million? My daughter's income in two years is equivalent to your 20 years of New Year's money."
Luo Shimiao crossed his arms and said, "Sorry, my family is quite generous. They gave me 200 million yuan for my 18th birthday celebration. Buying a house shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"200 million? Hahaha, you really dare to say anything, you've blown your own horn to the heavens. Why don't you just say that the world's richest man is your friend?"
Luo Shimiao glanced at Gu Nian subconsciously. It really was him, and he was her boyfriend.
An auntie across the street suddenly walked over, pointed to a picture on her phone, and said to Luo Shimiao, "Is this the Shengya University you just mentioned?"
Luo Shimiao nodded when he saw the familiar building in the picture.
"Sister Li Li, please don't be angry. Although your daughter graduated from a top university, this girl attended an extraordinary university."
“Saint Asia University is the world’s number one university, and it only admits a little over 1,000 students each year. Only the most outstanding people can study there.”
The older woman replied, "Lin Xuemei, you're only 46 years old. How come you're so slow-witted? You believe everything she says? Anyone can make things up."
Luo Shimiao took out his phone and searched through the photo album. After finding it, he showed it to Lin Xuemei.
He deliberately held the phone low so the older woman could see it: "Auntie, isn't our school's plaque really impressive? And aren't our school uniforms so nice? Can you find me in this graduation photo?"
Lin Xuemei had long disliked her and often boasted in front of her about how outstanding her daughter was, while also subtly implying that her daughter was inferior to hers. Now that she had the chance to embarrass her, she was not about to let it go.
There were only a dozen or so people in the photo. Lin Xuemei pointed to the girl with a bright smile and stunning beauty and said, "She's so pretty, I recognized her at a glance."
Lin Xuemei continued, "There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. Just because your own daughter can't do it doesn't mean other people's daughters can't. Is it so hard to acknowledge that others are excellent?"
The woman blushed crimson, and noticing the strange looks she was getting from people nearby, she quickly folded up her chair and left.
Luo Shimiao put away her phone and said to Lin Xuemei with a smile, "Thank you for speaking up for me, Auntie."
"I also want to thank you. You have no idea how annoying she is. I finally got my revenge, and now I feel so much better!"
Luo Shimiao glanced at the A4 paper on Lin Xuemei's seat and said, "Auntie, we'll be going now. We wish you find a suitable husband soon."
"Alright, alright, I appreciate your kind words."
The two walked in opposite directions, their fingers intertwined.
The uncle next door to Lin Xuemei pointed to a news article on his phone and said, "Xuemei, I searched for information about the world's richest man and this news came up. Look at the picture, doesn't the man look a lot like the girl's boyfriend?"
Lin Xuemei glanced at it, her mouth agape in shock, and exclaimed, "It's him! He has a mole in the same spot on his nose!"
The two looked at each other, their shock lingering for a long time.
