Chapter 272 Family Heirloom

"Yiyi, if Zhang Zhe bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll hold him down and let you get your revenge..."

After the meal, Zhang's mother held Xia Yi's hand and didn't let go.

Similar to when Xia's mother interrogated Zhang Zhe, she also asked about Xia Yi's family situation in great detail, even more so.

Moreover, for every question she asked, she would offer Xia a rosy promise.

Listening to what she said, Zhang Zhe thought he was going to have a hellish life after marriage.

You have to not fight back when hit or talk back when insulted, otherwise your mother and wife will team up to deal with you.

After inquiring about the situation, just as Zhang Zhe had expected, his mother brought out a small red box from the bedroom, which was only slightly larger than an old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox.

Zhang Zhe had seen everything in the box when he was a child; they were old pieces of jewelry passed down through generations, including bracelets and hairpins.

"Yiyi, this is our first meeting, and I didn't prepare any gift," Zhang's mother said as she unlocked the door. "But I happen to have some little trinkets here..."

"Auntie, no need for gifts. My parents didn't prepare anything for Zhang Zhe when they met him."

Although Xia Yi was very much looking forward to seeing what the "family heirloom" Zhang Zhe mentioned would look like, she still had to decline it out of politeness.

"Yes, yes, besides, it's nothing valuable." Zhang's mother's tone left no room for argument.

She took a wad of red cloth out of the box, and when she opened it, she found a jade bracelet wrapped inside.

Zhang Zhe had studied this thing a thousand times over. There was indeed a lot of green on the bracelet, but it was all cotton inside and not worth much money at all.

Its symbolic significance far outweighs its economic value.

“This bracelet was passed down from my mother-in-law, who is Zhang Zhe’s biological grandmother.”

“But look at me…” Zhang’s mother showed her wrist: “My arms are too thick, I can’t fit into them at all, so they’ve just been sitting there.”

"Come on, Yiyi, why don't you give it a try?"

"Huh? Isn't that inappropriate?" Xia Yi turned to look at Zhang Zhe, her eyes questioning.

What could Zhang Zhe say? Whenever he tried to speak, his parents would stare at him intently, not giving him a chance to open his mouth.

"Yiyi, you don't need to look at Zhang Zhe anymore. He can't control me, his mother. This is a gift for you."

"To put it bluntly, even if you two don't end up together, it's Zhang Zhe's bad luck. I'll still give you this bracelet."

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she reached out to help Xia Yi put the bracelet on.

Miss Xia pursed her lips and hesitated for only a moment before cooperatively extending her left hand.

The size was just right; she could fit into it perfectly.

"Oh, this is wonderful!" Zhang's mother clapped her hands and said, "I knew this bracelet would look beautiful on."

"Looks like I sent it to the right person."

"Come here, Yiyi, here are some small pieces of jewelry. Do you see any you like?"

"No need, Auntie, this bracelet is enough for me." Xia Yi declined the box that Zhang's mother offered, and said very sensibly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of this bracelet."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhang's mother nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with joy.

After putting the suitcase back in the bedroom, she pulled Xia Yi aside and began to introduce Zhang Zhe's life story.

The story begins with her birth and continues until she goes to university.

If Zhang Zhe hadn't reminded her that it was almost time and he still had to take Xia Yi home, Zhang's mother probably wouldn't have been willing to let go.

……

On the car ride home.

Xia Yi sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the bracelet on her wrist every now and then, and giggling to herself several times.

As they neared home, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Zhang Zhe, "When will your matchmaking agency finally get on the right track?"

"I'm anxious too," Zhang Zhe said, scratching his head. "This is the first time I've felt time passing so slowly."

He understood Xia Yi's unspoken meaning. The sooner the matchmaking agency stabilized, the sooner they could officially start discussing marriage—this was a consensus they had reached beforehand.

"Actually, there's no rush, Zhang Zhe, don't work too hard." Xia Yi thought of the books in Zhang Zhe's house and knew that the boy next to her was working very hard, so she comforted him, "Look, I've already accepted Auntie's bracelet."

"Just take your time to hone your career. Actually, most of my classmates aren't married yet; we're still relatively young."

"Okay, sure." Zhang Zhe reached out and held Xia Yi's hand, saying, "But classmates aren't necessarily a reliable indicator. I have a classmate who has never touched a girl's hand from high school until now."

"Huh? There's such a thing?" Xia Yi laughed in surprise.

“Really, I’m not kidding.” Zhang Zhe explained, “His mother started arranging for him to go on dates with divorced women when he was 28, all so that he could get married.”

"If you have the chance in the future, I'll introduce you to my classmates; they're all quite interesting."

"Okay, sure." Xia Yi nodded expectantly.

After dropping Xia Yi off and returning home, Zhang Zhe checked the time and realized there was no need to continue the live stream.

Let me take advantage of this free time and edit the video first.

After turning on his computer, Zhang Zhe suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

Upon closer reflection, he realized he had forgotten about the system's rewards!

He quickly opened the system:

[Congratulations, host, on successfully introducing your blind date to your parents. Your parents are extremely satisfied with Ms. Xia, with a satisfaction rate of 100%!]

[Reward: 500 Happiness Points]

Current Happiness Points Balance: 1201 points

[Unlock Item: Confession Elixir]

[Each item requires 50 Happiness Points to redeem, and can be redeemed an unlimited number of times.]

[Item Description: This is a special elixir developed by ancient cultivators to ensure fairness in the game of Truth or Dare. After consuming this elixir, others within a 3-meter radius can hear the user's thoughts for 10 minutes (usable only by the host).]

"This pill... it feels like something out of a wish-fulfillment novel... After being reborn, everyone can hear my inner thoughts?"

Zhang Zhe looked at the item description and speculated about the effects of the pill.

This medicine is only for him to use, so it must be for his convenience in doing something.

Under what circumstances would he use this elixir?

It must be when there are things that are inconvenient to say directly, but there is a real need to express them.

If this medicine is combined with the Heart-Clearing Fruit, he and Xia Yi will be able to hear each other's thoughts at the same time...

But it might not necessarily work for Xia Yi. If there are clients who are having troubles, listening to their inner venting might have a surprisingly good effect.

Good stuff, it can be very useful if used properly!
Zhang Zhe suddenly had a very bold idea: perhaps he could use this pill to open the door to a new world.

The key to the door should be on his WeChat account right now.

However, Zhang Zhe was not in a hurry. He first checked the system's next tasks.

[Please continue to advance your relationship with Ms. Xia. The next stage requires arranging a meeting between both sets of parents to discuss the engagement and reach a preliminary agreement. "Confirming the date of the engagement banquet" is the main objective of this stage.]

[Please note that in order to maintain the equal status of both parties before marriage, please ensure that the contributions of both families during the engagement stage are equal.]

[Reward for this stage: 999 Happiness Points]

[Wishing the host a successful engagement soon]

"Thank you for your kind words." Zhang Zhe smiled and closed the system. The 999 reward looked really good.

The system's task progress has been advancing steadily, and it's now almost time to get engaged, but Zhang Zhe's own qualifications are still a bit lacking.

Zhang Zhe thought for a moment, opened WeChat, and found Lao Bai, whom he hadn't contacted for a few days:

"Mr. Bai, when do you have time to talk about the private matchmaking service you mentioned last time?"
