Chapter 2563: Chapter 2340: You Want Me to Treat You Before the Job’s Even Done_5
"Oh, I told you before, being a small police officer, you need to brown-nose some people, make connections with some wealthy and powerful people, accumulate some social networks but you didn’t listen, now you know to come out and socialize, really, not listening to the advice of elders brings immediate suffering." Song Shuyun couldn’t help but mock Chen Xinghai when she saw Song Xiaodong coming.
Song Xiaodong looked at Song Jiaren in confusion.
"Oh, these two are Yuan Yuan’s parents." Song Jiaren introduced them to Song Xiaodong.
"What’s going on?" Song Xiaodong pointed at Chen Xinghai, asking Yuan Jiancheng and Song Shuyun.
"What else? The man is poor, has no prospects, and got dumped by my Yuan Yuan." Song Shuyun, who didn’t recognize Song Xiaodong, spoke impolitely.
"But Chen Xinghai is a police officer and a heroic figure who stands up for what’s right. How can he have no prospects?" Song Xiaodong retorted to Song Shuyun.
"You call that standing up for what’s right? That’s being a reckless fool, almost got himself killed to save someone else, I can’t let my daughter marry someone like that. What if one day he goes out and plays hero again, becomes a martyr, leaving my Yuan Yuan a widow, what would Yuan Yuan do then?" Song Shuyun rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong.
"Chen Xinghai is a police officer, maintaining social order is his job, it’s not exactly standing up for what’s right." Song Xiaodong argued again.
"So what if it is or isn’t? As a small police officer, he doesn’t earn much, and he’s in danger every day. Making my Yuan Yuan follow him is just worrying me to death as her mother!" Song Shuyun said.
"Officer Chen may just be a small police officer now, but he has broad opportunities for development in the future, you can’t just judge a person by their temporary circumstances." Song Xiaodong said.
"Him? One glance at him, and you know he won’t achieve anything his whole life, you know, I’m not a heartless person to split up a couple, but Chen Xinghai’s family conditions are just a tad better, I would have agreed." Song Shuyun pointed a finger at Chen Xinghai, who had been silent all this time.
"His family..." Song Xiaodong was embarrassed to ask directly.
"His family comes from the countryside, has a father who has been paralyzed for over ten years, a mother who is just a farmer, and a sister who dropped out of college to support him, the elder brother. They haven’t finished repaying their loans yet. Tell me, even if he becomes capable in the future, how can he handle such a drag from his relatives?" Song Shuyun took the initiative to reveal Chen Xinghai’s family conditions.
"Oh..." Song Xiaodong was convinced.
"If my Yuan Yuan went with him, wouldn’t that be marrying down to the countryside? No way, which is why I arranged a matchmaking for her today, do you know what kind of family the man comes from?" Song Shuyun said gleefully to Song Xiaodong.
"What kind of family?" Song Xiaodong followed along with Song Shuyun’s words.
"The man is a big boss in real estate! Worth tens of millions, he’s exceptionally good to us. The first time he came over, he brought a whole van full of gifts, bought a bag for Yuan Yuan. When I checked the price, a tiny bag, the size of a book, it was thirty thousand yuan! Someone like that earns more in a year than he can buy a bag of such a person’s brand! And he’s still dreaming of the impossible! Don’t disgust us here." Song Shuyun declared.
"Auntie, you mean the one who just went out with Yuan Yuan?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Exactly him, how about it, rich, mature, and prosperous, much better than the sharp-nosed monkey face!" Song Shuyun shot another glance at Chen Xinghai.
"Auntie, he is not young, is he?" Song Xiaodong feigned innocence while asking Song Shuyun.
"What’s wrong with being older? Older equals more mature and stable, knowing how to care for someone, isn’t that great." Song Shuyun quickly defended Lu Shilong.
"Was he married before?" Song Xiaodong asked again.
The question hit the mark.
Song Shuyun’s face looked somewhat awkward.
"Yes, there was a former wife, but it doesn’t matter now, what era is it? As long as the couple loves each other, that’s all that matters." Song Shuyun once again defended Lu Shilong.
Chen Xinghai clenched his fists under the table upon hearing this.
Song Jiaren noticed the change in Chen Xinghai’s expression and reached out to squeeze his arm.
"Does he have any kids?" Song Xiaodong continued to dig deeper.
Song Shuyun started to get impatient, glanced up at Song Xiaodong, wondering: "Why is he so insensible, always touching the sore spot!"
"He has a son, not much, already over four years old, doesn’t need taking care of." Song Shuyun replied.
Chen Xinghai was about to stand up.
"What are you doing?" Song Xiaodong tilted his head, his eyes like two bright flashes of lightning, questioning as he stared into Chen Xinghai’s eyes.
Chen Xinghai knew Song Xiaodong, glanced at him, made no further moves.
"Sit down and listen!" Song Xiaodong seemed to be angrily ordering Chen Xinghai.
Chen Xinghai looked at Song Jiaren, then sat back down.
"Second marriage, has a kid, older, apart from money, he doesn’t have any other advantages over Chen Xinghai." Song Xiaodong said to Song Shuyun.
Song Shuyun realized Song Xiaodong was helping Chen Xinghai speak up.
"Just this one trumps over ten thousand others! Director Lu said if the matchmaking succeeds, they’ll give us a house, then my son will have a house to get married in, and my son can get married, one matchmaking becomes two families connected, isn’t that great?" Song Shuyun stated.
Chapter 2344: Selling Daughter
Song Xiaodong then sarcastically stated to Song Shuyun, "Then you’re basically selling your daughter to exchange for a house for your son, that’s grossly unfair to your daughter."
