22: Good girl

Huang Hui hung up the phone.

Chen Zhifeng immediately leaned in.

"How was it?"

He asked curiously.

Huang Hui sneered, an unconcealable sense of relief on her face.

"What else could it be?"

"That girl He Ting didn't take a liking to Chen Qiu at all!"

"She even said that Chen Qiu's shabby appearance clearly showed he wasn't rich."

"She suspected that the house and car might all be fake!"

Chen Zhifeng looked at her in confusion.

"Didn't you see the car and house with your own eyes the day before yesterday?"

"Are they real or fake?"

Huang Hui glared at him impatiently.

"He didn't show me the property deed, so how would I know if it's real or fake?"

But she knew in her heart.

Given the situation the day before yesterday, that property manager Li Qing was found by her son Yujie through his own connections.

The possibility of Chen Qiu colluding with him beforehand was small.

That kid might really have gotten lucky and been given a house.

However, that's as far as it goes!

"If this kid really made money, why wouldn't he even buy himself a few good sets of clothes?"

Huang Hui seized on this blind spot and analyzed.

Her face was filled with a sense of triumph.

Even though she had just been scolded by her Older female cousin He Lan.

But instead of being annoyed, she felt secretly pleased.

Chen Qiu's blind date this time left such a bad impression on He Ting.

He even made He Lan so angry that she called to personally hold him accountable.

This was exactly what she wanted!

She could even use this failed blind date to properly and righteously lecture Chen Qiu's family!

After all, Huang Hui was the "kind-hearted" introducer!

It was Chen Qiu himself who was unpromising and messed up the blind date.

It was the woman who called to complain and hold him accountable.

Could she be blamed?

She was just relaying the other person's poor attitude towards Chen Qiu!

In the future, she could fully stand on the moral high ground.

And endlessly criticize Luo Jinglan's family!

"Then, should we call their family now?"

Zhifeng took out his phone again and asked.

"What's the rush?"

Huang Hui glared at him again.

Her gaze turned to the nearby community garden.

Her son Yujie was accompanying Lin Shanshan, looking at houses with a real estate agent.

"First, stabilize Lin Shanshan's side!"

..."Shanshan, what do you think of this one?"

After looking around, Yujie cautiously looked at Lin Shanshan.

These past two days, they had tirelessly looked at four or five more communities.

The housing prices in every community were higher than Haitang Bay!

The average price of the one they were currently looking at was almost 14,000.

This was already the limit their family could afford.

"...It's acceptable."

Lin Shanshan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and replied faintly.

Upon hearing Lin Shanshan nod, Yujie was so excited he almost jumped up on the spot.

Finally!

She finally liked one!

"Then... then should we confirm this one first?!" he asked tentatively.

Lin Shanshan did not answer.

She just looked out the window at the meticulously trimmed greenery in the community, somewhat lost in thought.

These past two days, she had made many efforts!

She sent WeChat messages to Luo Jinglan, showing concern.

But Chen Qiu's mother would always reply by asking if she had any suitable blind date candidates!

Blind dates, blind dates!

Couldn't she see what her eagerness was for?

Each time, she almost explicitly stated her intentions.

That Luo Jinglan would then play dead and stop replying!

What made her even more annoyed and humiliated was this:

She had already sent a friend request to Chen Qiu.

It had been almost two days!

And it still hadn't been accepted?!

Lin Shanshan wasn't a fool either.

She naturally saw the rejecting attitude of Luo Jinglan and her son Chen Qiu towards her.

Lin Shanshan didn't mind "throwing herself at him."

However, she wanted to throw herself at him, but there was no way.

This made her quite annoyed and humiliated!

Was she really that unworthy?

Coupled with Yujie continuously increasing his stakes.

From Haitang Bay, all the way to here.

Lin Shanshan simply nodded!

"Even if Chen Qiu is a potential stock, that's for the future."

"If I marry him, who knows what I'll get?"

"At least with Yujie, I can actually get the bride price and half a house!"

Lin Shanshan comforted herself this way... In the evening.

Chen Qiu listened to his parents eagerly planning at the dinner table how they would furnish the Haitang Bay house.

For a moment, he didn't know how to tell them.

That he actually had an additional large flat and a villa.

"Forget it..."

"Tomorrow, I'll just take them to see it directly!"

If he told them now, Chen Qiu felt that his parents might think he was talking nonsense and wouldn't believe him.

After dinner.

Luo Jinglan was just about to ask Chen Qiu how his blind date went at noon.

Her phone rang with a call from Huang Hui.

What entered her ears was still Huang Hui's familiar, superior-sounding lecture.

A few minutes later.

Luo Jinglan hung up the phone with a strange expression.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Qiu, who was about to go back to his room, and asked.

"Your blind date at noon, it fell through again?"

"Hmm, it probably fell through."

Chen Qiu nodded.

"Your Aunt called."

Luo Jinglan's expression was somewhat hard to describe.

"She said she kindly introduced you, but then she said you went wearing shabby street clothes."

"You didn't show any respect to the girl."

"She also said you spoke rudely!"

Chen Qiu was stunned.

He carefully recalled the conversation at the restaurant at noon.

He shouldn't have cursed her, right?

At most, he couldn't help but smile when the system rewards arrived.

But in this day and age, you're not allowed to smile on a blind date?

Moreover... "Although this outfit isn't expensive, it can't be called shabby, can it?"

Chen Qiu looked down at himself, a helpless expression on his face.

Luo Jinglan was even more curious about what exactly happened at noon.

So, Chen Qiu simply and concisely recounted the demands He Ting had made!

Luo Jinglan was startled when she finished listening.

Demanding a big house, a villa, and ten million... "Why doesn't she just rob a bank?!"

"I knew it! That girl's photo, her face, it just didn't look like someone reliable!"

Luo Jinglan glanced at Chen Zhide, who was fiddling with his phone next to her, and snorted softly.

"You even liked her appearance back then?"

With that, Luo Jinglan turned back and comforted Chen Qiu.

"It's okay, son."

"That kind of person isn't looking to settle down. If it falls through, it falls through. There are plenty of good girls; we don't lack her!"

Seeing his mother's nonchalant expression.

Chen Qiu was a bit surprised.

Previously, she was the one most eager for him to get married!

Soon, his father Chen Zhide provided an explanation.

It turned out that ever since the rumors of his "getting rich" spread in the village the day before yesterday.

This afternoon, matchmakers calling or coming to Luo Jinglan's door to arrange marriages were simply endless.

Her phone hadn't had a moment's peace!

"Your mom and I have picked out a few for you."

Chen Zhide, like presenting a treasure, handed over his triple-fold phone.

"Look, this girl is pretty good. She's very delicate-looking, and she just passed the civil service exam this year!"

As soon as he heard the words "civil servant."

Chen Qiu's mind instantly thought of his ex-girlfriend, who, upon getting a civil service job, immediately dumped him.

He leaned in and looked at the photo.

It was an ID photo.

The girl in the photo had a high ponytail and wore a white shirt.

Her features were delicate, and her temperament was clean; she was indeed good-looking.

Just in the short time he spent looking at the photo.

Chen Qiu saw that his mother's WeChat had already popped up several new messages,

ding-dong, ding-dong.

He opened it and saw that it was from the matchmaker, Auntie Wang.

Chen Qiu had a premonition.

He wouldn't be short of blind date candidates during this New Year period.
