"I know, but you can't afford a house either," Liu Xian's mother said.
At this moment, Liu Xian didn't want to scare his mother with his illness anymore, so he paused and said, "Mom, I've told you, they will assign us housing, why don't you believe me."
"Then do you mean that Dad and I buying you a house was a mistake?" Liu Xian's mother asked agitatedly.
Liu Xian said, "I didn't say that. I just like to strive for it myself. Of course, if you give it to me, I will accept it. It's still your and Dad's intention. If I refuse, you will also be unhappy."
"It's good that you know," Liu Xian's mother said.
Liu Xian smiled faintly and looked at the matchmaker auntie, asking, "What would you like to eat?"
"Liu Xian, you are such a good child," the matchmaker auntie suddenly said.
Liu Xian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Auntie, to be honest, this girl, she..."
The matchmaker auntie was speaking halfway when a voice suddenly reached their ears.
"Hello, Auntie."
Listening to the man-like greeting, Liu Xian and his mother were startled.
"Hello," the matchmaker auntie smiled at her.
Liu Xian's mother looked at the girl, her expression becoming serious.
Liu Xian, however, calmly looked at the sturdy, sparse-haired, plump girl in front of him, stood up and said, "Hello."
Liu Xian's mother was stunned.
Liu Xian walked around the table to the plump girl and said gently, "I apologize for disrespecting your mother yesterday, it was me..."
"It's you," the plump girl pushed Liu Xian hard and said.
Liu Xian stumbled back a step and said, "I know you're angry."
"Let me tell you, I hate it when people talk to my mother like that," the plump girl growled, pointing at Liu Xian.
"This is my daughter."
Hearing this, Liu Xian looked at the thin woman who was walking over and said, "Yesterday, I..."
"Take back your apology. I brought my daughter here to tell you that you are not worthy of my daughter."
"Huh?" Liu Xian was surprised.
Then, the plump girl stepped forward and bumped Liu Xian's shoulder forcefully, then walked to the matchmaker auntie and said, "Auntie, it's not your fault. In the future, don't associate with people like this; they are all unreasonable."
The matchmaker auntie looked embarrassed.
Liu Xian's mother looked at the girl in front of her and asked, "You didn't come sincerely, did you?"
"Yes, I just wanted to see who bullied my mother. Now it seems," the plump girl looked Liu Xian's mother up and down and said, "you really are flamboyant."
"Girl, you are younger than my Liu Xian, so you are ignorant. I won't say anything to you." Liu Xian's mother suppressed her anger, stood up, walked around her to Liu Xian's side, and looked at the thin woman, saying, "Yes, my son is not worthy of your daughter. Goodbye." Then she pulled Liu Xian's arm.
Liu Xian said, "Mom, I'll go pay the bill."
"Go ahead," Liu Xian's mother smiled.
Immediately, the plump girl looked down and saw the branded bag Liu Xian's mother had placed on the chair. She was startled and called out, "Auntie." As she spoke, she bent down and picked up the bag.
"Ah?" the matchmaker auntie responded.
Unexpectedly, the plump girl ignored the matchmaker auntie, looked directly at Liu Xian's mother, and said, "Your bag must be very expensive, right?"
Liu Xian's mother lowered her eyes and turned to ask, "Why are you asking this?"
"Auntie, I..."
"Alright, it's our Liu Xian's fault," Liu Xian's mother interrupted.
The matchmaker auntie, having seen the plump girl clearly, reached out and snatched the bag from the plump girl's hand. Without a word, she turned and walked to Liu Xian's mother.
Liu Xian's mother took her bag and said, "Thank you."
At the same time, Liu Xian returned after paying the bill: "Mom, let's go."
"Mmm," Liu Xian's mother nodded. Without looking at the thin woman and the plump girl, she walked out of the coffee shop with Liu Xian and the matchmaker auntie.
After they left, the plump girl walked up to the thin woman with a look of annoyance and asked, "Mom, is this thing over?"
"Mmm, it's okay, Mom will find you someone better."
"Mmm, but that auntie's bag just now, it was really expensive," the plump girl said earnestly.
"How expensive?" the thin woman asked curiously.
"Over ten thousand," the plump girl said, holding up one finger.
"That's called luxury. Maybe she was pretending. Look how shabby her son is," the thin woman said lightly.
Then, just as the plump girl was about to speak, she turned and inadvertently saw Liu Xian getting into a car outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Mom, that man has a car?"
"No..."
"Really," the plump girl said excitedly, her face hardening. "Actually, that person is quite handsome, and his attitude towards me was good. No one has ever treated me like that."
"Regret it?" the thin woman asked.
The plump girl shook her head. "Not really, I just feel... I was wrong."
"You were not wrong. It's that man who is not worthy of you," the thin woman said, taking the plump girl's arm. "Come, let's go home."
"Okay," the plump girl nodded and left with the thin woman.
After they left, people in the coffee shop began to whisper and discuss.
In the car, Liu Xian drove without saying a word.
The matchmaker auntie looked at Liu Xian's mother and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
"What is there to talk about?" Liu Xian's mother turned to the matchmaker auntie and asked.
The matchmaker auntie was surprised by Liu Xian's mother's answer and said, "That girl was introduced by me. Shouldn't you be complaining?"
"Why should we complain?" Liu Xian's mother asked.
The matchmaker auntie smiled and said, "Before, I introduced this girl to someone else. After that person finished the whole meal, he called me back and complained about the girl for a long time. If you don't say anything," she lowered her head, "I would indeed find it strange."
"That girl is quite filial," Liu Xian said while driving.
"That girl is indeed filial," Liu Xian's mother agreed.
"You have no comments on her... appearance?" the matchmaker auntie asked in a low voice.
"Auntie, you say the girl is good, so she must have something that attracts you. As for her appearance and figure, I make no comments, and you shouldn't be surprised," Liu Xian said.
"Okay, Auntie promises you, I'll find you a good one," the matchmaker auntie said with a smile.
"Auntie, hearing what you said, were you doing this on purpose this time?" Liu Xian asked with a smile.
"No, no, Auntie thought that girl was a good girl. Who knew," the matchmaker auntie shook her head. "That girl... alas, I won't say anymore."
Liu Xian smiled and asked, "Auntie, where do you live? I'll give you a ride home." Go to Baidu to search for "A wry smile bloomed as the wind began to stir Jie Zhong Literature" for the latest chapters, read for free for the first time.
