Xie Yifei pondered for a moment, then replied, "You know, there really is a possibility.
After lunch that day, I sent her back, and she kept praising how pretty I was. She also asked if I had a boyfriend and what I did for work.
I was a bit puzzled at the time, thinking she might introduce me to a boyfriend. Later, the topic just faded away, but who knew she'd actually taken it to heart.
And even introduced her own son to me."
Shen Xi straightened up, looking at her seriously, "When she asked for your phone number that day, she also subtly inquired about your information. It seems she was genuinely very satisfied with you.
How did you find her son when you met earlier?"
"How did I find him?" Xie Yifei frowned, looking at her earnestly, "I don't like the 'uncle' type."
"Then what type do you like? A young heartthrob?" Shen Xi countered, raising an eyebrow.
Xie Yifei immediately understood who "young heartthrob" referred to, and glared at her, "What heartthrob? Sister isn't a pure young girl. I don't have high standards for looks in a man, but he absolutely needs to be responsible, like a real man."
"So, if he's good-looking and responsible, is he the top choice?" Shen Xi's eyes flickered, staring directly at her.
"Alright, alright, stop talking about me. I don't want to find a boyfriend right now." Xie Yifei grabbed her hand, suddenly changing the subject, "Quick, tell me, how did you end up coming with Qin Si Ye?"
Shen Xi slowly withdrew her smile and replied casually, "He was going to get a vaccination, and at the same time, he received your and your friend's 'distress calls,' so we came together."
Hearing this, Xie Yifei looked at her in astonishment, "You mean, Qin Xiu Yi also sent a 'distress signal' to his nephew?"
"Yes. So, this blind date of yours, both parties were forced into it. It seems Grandma really did play matchmaker in a chaotic way." Shen Xi's lips curved upwards, recalling what Qin Si Ye had said in the car.
Xie Yifei hadn't heard her clearly and her thoughts drifted to another matter, "Doesn't Qin Si Ye have a car? Why is he driving yours?"
It seemed this question piqued her interest more than her own blind date.
"His car broke down." Shen Xi, surprised that she had circled back to the topic, replied faintly.

Inside Villa No. 1 Hua Ban Li, Qin Xiu Yi sat on the sofa, looking helplessly at Xu Zhilan.
"Mom, wasn't what you did today a bit too much? How could you trick me into a blind date with a girl in her twenties?"
Xu Zhilan raised her eyebrows dismissively, "What's the big deal? Didn't you hear what people say, that as long as both parties like each other, age is not a problem?
I just think Yi Fei is a very good person, not only beautiful but also cheerful, and very capable at her job.
Most importantly, she's a good friend of Shen Xi, so we know her background, and her character is guaranteed."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu Yi's voice suddenly rose, "That's just what you like, what you think is good. It doesn't mean I see it the same way."
"Then what kind of person do you like?" Xu Zhilan's expression immediately turned serious. "You're already 40 years old, and you don't put any thought into your own lifelong happiness. I've finally found someone for you, and you have this attitude.
What are you thinking? Are you trying to anger me to death before you feel at peace?"
Xu Zhilan became more and more upset as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes, her body trembling.
Quickly going behind her, Qin Si Ye gently patted her back, "Grandma, don't get too agitated, it's not good for your health."
Seeing this, Qin Xiu Yi slowly stood up from the sofa, his tone a few degrees lower than before, "Mom, I'll handle my own affairs. Please don't worry about them anymore, just take good care of your health."
After speaking, he walked towards the door.
He was very angry at the moment and had been suppressing his emotions. He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would have a bigger argument with Xu Zhilan.
"You... Xiu Yi, come back here." Xu Zhilan looked at his retreating back in exasperation, wanting to stand up, but Qin Si Ye gently pressed her down.
"Grandma, don't be like this. Some things can't be rushed. My uncle just hasn't met the right person. If he does, I believe he'll have a good relationship."
Qin Si Ye remembered that five years ago, when he first brought Yin Xi back to the Qin family, they had discussed this topic, and he vaguely recalled his uncle saying something similar.
