My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 152 I Have No Father or Mother
Seeing Gu Xingzhao smiling and beckoning to him, Xu Shisan moved closer as if possessed.

She parted her red lips slightly and uttered a single word, "Get lost."

Xu Shisan: "."

Gu Xingzhao drove off, and Xu Shisan lurched forward due to inertia, almost falling to the ground. In a panic, he instinctively protected his face.

Even after he had stopped and was watching the car drive away, he touched his face: That was close, I hope I didn't hurt my face.

After a while, he took out the jade pendant hanging around his neck, stared at it for a long time, and realized that it was indeed the jade, not fake, but why did Gu Xingzhao give it to him?

This is such a precious item, and you wouldn't even sell it before. Could it be that you've fallen in love with me?

Gu Xingzhao had just returned home and hadn't even had time to close the door when guests arrived.

The person carrying a basket of fruit walked straight into the supermarket. "Little Gu, why haven't I seen you open for business these past few days? Is something wrong at home?"

Gu Xingzhao asked in surprise, "Aunt Cui, what brings you here?"

Feng Cui was a well-known broadcaster and matchmaker in the town. She went from house to house every day and there was no gossip she didn't know.

Gu Xingzhao had a bad feeling. First Lei Ping, then Gu Chengzhang. What kind of reputation did he have in the town? This person couldn't possibly be here to arrange a marriage for him, could he?

Feng Cui smiled, her face crinkling with wrinkles, "Of course it's good news!"

The two sat down in the living room on the second floor. Feng Cui looked around and found that the TV was more than ten years old, the air conditioner didn't look very expensive, and even the sofa and coffee table were very ordinary. It seemed that the supermarket was only doing well in business, but in reality, it didn't make much money.

They're young after all.
Gu Xingzhao placed two bottles of drinks on the table and sat down on the sofa.

Feng Cui didn't stand on ceremony, took the drink and started drinking it right away, saying to herself, "Little Gu, look at you, you're already twenty-six this year, and you don't even have a boyfriend or anything, how can this be?"

Gu Xingzhao's heart skipped a beat. They say you don't come to a temple without a reason, but it turns out they really came to arrange a marriage.

"Aunt Cui, you're mistaken. I'll only be twenty-four this year after my birthday. I'm not in a rush to find a partner."

Feng Cui laughed and said, "What do you mean by twenty-four? Aunt Cui knows everything perfectly well!"

"It's only the New Year, and you're already twenty-six. I'm not saying this because Aunt Cui is being sarcastic, but in two more years you'll be almost thirty. Other girls your age are already married and have two kids."

Gu Xingzhao's forehead twitched. What, twenty-six? This is how they always say age in this town, which makes people look two years older, and they'll be turning thirty in a couple of years.
She's already thinking about seeing the guest out. She should have locked the door as soon as she got home; she was so careless.

As Feng Cui spoke, she suddenly sat down next to Gu Xingzhao, took her hand, and said affectionately, "I came today because someone has taken a liking to you and asked Aunt Cui to put in a good word for you, to see when you two can arrange a time to sit down for a meal and get to know each other?"

Gu Xingzhao chuckled awkwardly and withdrew his hand. "Aunt Cui, I've been quite busy lately, so I don't recognize you anymore."

Feng Cui interrupted her hastily, "Let me tell you, this young man is really good. He's from our town, we know him well, he graduated from a prestigious university, works in the city, has a car and a house, and earns over 100,000 yuan a year!"

Gu Xingzhao sighed, "Aunt Cui, I still don't know her, and I really don't have any thoughts about that right now."

Feng Cui earnestly advised, "You child, you're just meeting for a meal to get to know each other. It's rare for someone with such good qualities to take a liking to you, so you have to seize the opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get married in the future!"

As she spoke, she felt thirsty again and wanted to pick up the second bottle of drink on the table.

Gu Xingzhao took the drink first, opened it and drank it himself, then subtly placed the basket of fruit next to him back in front of Aunt Cui, his intention to send her away was obvious. "Aunt Cui, I really didn't mean it that way, you should go, I won't see you out."

Feng Cui was stunned. Why were they kicking people out?

"Xiao Gu, Xiao Lin has a house and a car. As soon as I heard he was interested in you, I came to find you immediately. Can't you at least give Aunt Cui some face and go meet him?"

Feng Cui spoke with great enthusiasm, praising the person as if they were the best in town.

Gu Xingzhao remained silent. Xiao Lin?

She subconsciously thought of the Lin family, the family that left the deepest impression on her in the small town.

Could it be the Lin family, the one with five daughters? The Lin family that threw a tantrum outside their supermarket last time and got splashed with water by Aunt Wang?
Feng Cui was still nagging, afraid that Gu Xingzhao wouldn't know how good the person she was introducing was, and she refused to leave, insisting on making the introduction a success.

"Xiao Gu, you're so lucky. You know, there are so many girls in our town who still have their eyes on Xiao Lin. He's this age, he has a house and a car, he's a real catch."

"Actually, you should know her too. Xiao Lin's mother often comes to your supermarket to patronize it!"

Hearing Feng Cui say this, Gu Xingzhao was now certain that it was Aunt Lin.

What terrible sins must I have committed in my past life to have such good fortune in this one?

She sighed, "Aunt Cui, let me be frank with you, I've been meeting other people recently, and they're quite eligible, so I'm really not interested in what you're talking about."

Feng Cui was surprised and, forgetting about Xiao Lin, immediately started gossiping, "You have a boyfriend?! Where are you from, and what does your family do?"

Seeing that she had finally changed the subject, Gu Xingzhao breathed a sigh of relief and casually made up a few words, "I guess so, I'm from the city, I do some small business and stuff."

Upon hearing this, Feng Cui exclaimed in surprise, "A city person who does business?"

She asked suspiciously, "What kind of business is it? Don't get scammed. These days, there are tons of city folks pretending to be businessmen who are out there scamming young girls!"

Gu Xingzhao smiled, "No, that won't happen."

Feng Cui sighed, "Sigh, you young girls are always thinking about running away. Don't just follow any rich guy you see. You don't know, many of these rich men are just out to scam young girls like you."

“Take Aunt Cui’s advice: don’t marry someone too far away. It’s better to marry someone you know well, so that neighbors and relatives can help each other out.”

Gu Xingzhao thought to himself, he wondered how many people Feng Cui had said this to, just blurting it out without even realizing that she didn't have any relatives at all.

Seeing that Gu Xingzhao seemed to have taken it to heart, Feng Cui continued to persuade him earnestly, "Look at the girls in our town who have married far away and haven't come back even once a year. They are bullied by their husbands' families and have no family to rely on. It's really not easy for them. You can't be confused."

It wasn't because Xiao Lin gave her money; it was just that she felt sorry for Xiao Gu, who was so old and still didn't have a boyfriend. He was practically an old maid.

Moreover, judging from Xiao Lin's appearance, she must really like Xiao Gu, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to step through this door!

Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing. "Aunt Cui, how could you forget? I have no parents, so how could I have any maternal family?"

Feng Cui was stunned.
