Chapter 470 - 469: Matchmaking
Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Matchmaking
Zhuang Xinhai looked Ding Yuejun up and down, his eyes showing admiration.
He hadn’t expected that the eldest daughter of the Ding Family, found halfway through life, would be this beautiful, with little trace of her years as a rural woman. His sister hadn’t lied to him, prompting a smile filled with approval as he nodded at Ding Yuejun, saying, "Hello, my name is Zhuang Xinhai."
Ding Yuejun, however, slightly frowned.
She disliked the way Zhuang Xinhai stared at her, making her uncomfortable. But since they greeted her with smiles, she couldn’t say much, responding only with a cool "Hello," before saying nothing more.
Zhuang Xinhai’s expression turned slightly sullen.
Although Ding Yuejun had been found by the Ding Family, she had grown up in the countryside and even married with a daughter. He didn’t expect her attitude to be so aloof, which made him dislike her.
However, considering the Ding Family’s status in Shangjing, he remained silent.
At this moment, Zhuang Caixin quickly interjected, "Yue Jun, where are you going? I remember your clothing store is nearby. Are you heading there to work?"
Ding Yuejun nodded and said, "Yes, it’s getting late, so I’d better head over. Take care." Without waiting for Zhuang Caixin and her brother to react, she walked off directly.
Watching Ding Yuejun’s departing figure, Zhuang Xinhai tightened his brow, "Sis, her attitude is too arrogant. Even if she’s the eldest daughter of the Ding Family, you have a family connection. Isn’t her daughter already engaged to the eldest grandson of the Gu Family, Gu Tingyu? That makes you her daughter’s second sister-in-law, yet she shows such an attitude."
Zhuang Caixin was slightly displeased too, but remembering her aim, she smiled at her brother and said, "Alright, she has the right to be proud. Remember what I told you before? She’s a true socialite. You mustn’t offend her."
"Okay, sis, I get it. Don’t you trust your brother? Not to brag, but my looks, family, and work are quite presentable in Shangjing. Even if I don’t mind her having married a rural man and divorced with a daughter, could she possibly disdain me?"
Zhuang Caixin found her brother’s words reasonable and nodded, "It’s good that you’re aware, but even if the Ding Family’s eldest daughter has been divorced with a daughter, there are plenty wanting to marry into the Ding Family. Don’t mess it up."
She still remembered what her husband told her last time, and felt upset about it, convinced that Gu Yaozhong looked down on the Zhuang Family and her brother. She genuinely thought Xinhe was decent, introducing him to Ding Yuejun wasn’t unfair.
"Alright, alright, sis, I get it. Trust me." Zhuang Xinhai said, continuing forward with his sister Zhuang Caixin.
The two failed to notice someone hidden around the corner — Qu Yiqi, who had overheard their conversation completely and ran towards home without hesitation.
Seeing his wife panting heavily as she rushed in, Wei Hanyou asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you? Weren’t you out shopping? Why rush back in such a hurry?"
"Oh dear... Old Wei, something bad has happened."
"What bad thing happened?"
Wei Hanyou frowned at his wife, eyes full of confusion.
"Let me tell you, guess who I ran into just now."
"Who did you bump into?"
Wei Hanyou asked cooperatively.
Qu Yiqi recounted the events she witnessed and concluded, "We all know what kind of person Zhuang Xinhai is, but Zhuang Caixin dared introduce him to Yue Jun. How audacious of her!"
Qu Yiqi was very angry, ranting on, "Even if Yue Jun wants to find another match, she’d definitely choose someone like our Hanliang over Zhuang Xinhai. He’s not fit to even be Hanliang’s shoe shiner, so I must warn Yue Jun not to fall for their tricks. When Zhuang Xinhai drinks, he hits women. Such a person is pure scum."
Seeing his wife’s furious expression, Wei Hanyou didn’t contradict her. Instead, he nodded, "Right, if the Ding Family’s eldest really wants another marriage prospect, it should indeed be someone like our Hanliang. I think they make a great pair."
Qu Yiqi was surprised by his comment.
"Oh... do you also think so? We’re really on the same page." Eventually, she curiously asked, "What made you suddenly think like this?"
"I didn’t know about their history before, but now that I do, I agree."
Qu Yiqi was filled with curiosity upon hearing this.
"Did they have some history previously?"
Wei Hanyou handed her a stack of documents, saying, "Take a look."
Qu Yiqi curiously scanned through the material, and once finished, looked astonished, "Turns out Yue Jun misunderstood that Yiyi’s biological father was the one who saved her, which led to the marriage. Such a huge misunderstanding, as the savior was obviously Hanliang. If only Hanliang hadn’t hurried away at that time, they could’ve been married long ago."
Qu Yiqi, reading and feeling regretful, pushed against her chest in frustration.
If such a misunderstanding hadn’t happened then, they would have become a pair ages ago.
Seeing his wife’s dismay, Wei Hanyou shared the sentiment deeply.
Upon realizing this matter, he was remorseful too, thinking that if his younger brother truly married Ding Yuejun, he wouldn’t have married Zheng Xiangxin, and the Wei Family could have further advanced.
Yet, alas...
They missed the chance so many years ago.
At this point, Qu Yiqi finally regained her focus and energetically stated, "It’s not too late now. Hanliang is divorced, and so is Yue Jun. Isn’t this perfect timing? Heaven can’t bear for them to miss out a second time, presenting a chance, so I’ll invite Yue Jun and Yiyi to our house this weekend. You should talk to Hanliang, remind him to be keen."
After figuring it out, Qu Yiqi felt invigorated.
"Today, the Zhuang family wants to make a match for Yue Jun, but tomorrow there might be others, given Mr. Ding’s distinguished status, many want to marry into the family, so we need to act fast."
Wei Hanyou nodded, saying, "Alright, I’ll tell Hanliang then. Besides, aren’t we planning to thank Yiyi and them? We should properly thank them when they visit as guests."
"Okay, leave it to me. I’ll make sure it’s well prepared."
