Nian Ueno

Wang Yu pursed his lips, stood up, grabbed the toy car, and ran back to his room. As he passed Jiang Weixi, he even tried to stomp on her foot.

Jiang Weixi reacted faster, taking the initiative by raising her leg to dodge and kicking Wang Yu's shin with considerable force.

This child is used to hitting people at home. Knowing that her mother and sisters wouldn't fight back, she never holds back, and the way she stomped on her just now was with all her might.

Therefore, Jiang Weixi's kick was quite forceful; the only way to deal with such a brat is to use force to suppress force.

"Ah!" Wang Yu exclaimed, glaring at her for a long time, his face flushed with anger, and he could only manage to stammer out, "You just wait!"

Jiang Weixi glared at him and sneered, "Ha!"

Wang Yu was indeed a little afraid of his older sister, Jiang Weixi, because Jiang Weixi could really beat him up, and it hurt a lot.

Every time he complained to his mother, hoping she would help him beat her up, he never succeeded. This was because Du Wei and Jiang Weixi had a complicated relationship, but Wang Yu couldn't understand the intricacies. He only knew that no one in the family could control Jiang Weixi, so he didn't dare to provoke her too much.

Even though she had just kicked him, Wang Yu didn't dare to fight back, afraid of being beaten, and hurriedly ran back to his room.

Du Wei came out of the kitchen after hearing the noise.

"Xixi is here. Sit down for a while, and we'll start eating once everyone is here."

Jiang Weixi sat down on the edge of the sofa.

Du Wei poured her some water.

Wang Lian and Wang Xi sat on another sofa, secretly observing Jiang Weixi. The two sisters whispered to each other.

Jiang Weixi didn't have much to talk about with them, so she sat quietly.

She could sense that Wang Lian and Wang Xi were talking about her.

Jiang Weixi lowered her eyes in thought.

Once everyone has arrived, shall we start eating?

Who else?

Thinking back to the last time Jiang Shanbao invited her to his house...

Jiang Weixi's eyes darkened, and a sense of wariness rose in her heart.

With all the kids at home, they probably wouldn't be plotting anything bad, right?

One should always be wary of others.

Du Wei was busy in the kitchen for a while, then called Wang Lian and Wang Xi over to set the table.

Wang Lian and Wang Xi reluctantly left the television and went to the kitchen to help.

Jiang Weixi listened to the crisp sound of the bowls and chopsticks clattering together, lost in thought.

Du Wei took off her apron, walked to the sofa, sat down next to Jiang Weixi, and started chatting.

"I heard you had a fight with Jiang Shanbao and blocked him?"

"Yes, that's right."

Jiang Weixi did not elaborate on the reason.

Du Wei, having somehow learned about the incident, started cursing.

"Jiang Shanbao is a complete scoundrel, a beast! He has no shame whatsoever, how can someone like him deserve to live!"

Whenever Jiang Shanbao is mentioned, Du Wei can't help but curse him for a long time. She always has to give him a thorough dressing down before she can feel relieved.

Jiang Weixi listened with her eyes down, not saying a word. She knew that Du Wei wasn't angry because of her; she was just used to scolding Jiang Shanbao.

"Jiang Shanbao is a heartless bastard..." Du Wei changed the subject, "I'm not like him."

Are we getting down to business?

Jiang Weixi lifted her eyelids and quietly looked at her mother, who was over fifty years old.

Du Wei was a beauty in her youth, but time has left deep wrinkles on her face, and her hair has turned gray.

Jiang Weixi subconsciously compared her to her aunt. They were about the same age, but they looked more than ten years apart.

Du Wei and Jiang Shanbao were both good-looking when they were young, while Jiang Weixi combined their best features, making her features perfectly matched and stunning.

None of the children the two had after starting their own families were as good-looking as Jiang Weixi.

Over the years, Jiang Weixi's only gratitude to the two of them was for giving her this physical appearance.

Beauty lowers the bar for success.

Beauty alone is a dead end, but adding any other advantage can turn it into a winning combination.

She not only has beauty, but also intelligence, which makes it easier for her to develop ambition.

Her true nature is that she is extremely ambitious.

Du Wei's tone softened slightly: "Xi Xi, Aunt Wang is coming over later. Her aunt's eldest son is about your age..."

Du Wei paused for a moment: "That boy works at XXX school, he's a tenured employee. I've seen his photo, he's good-looking, and his parents both have stable jobs and a good pension. You'll meet him later."

Jiang Weixi's feelings were complicated: "So today's meal is a blind date?"

They arranged the meeting without informing her in advance or asking for her opinion.

Jiang Weixi's eyes held a hint of sarcasm.

Seeing that she was showing resistance, Du Wei quickly explained, "Xixi, that guy is really great. Why don't you meet him? What if you hit it off..."

Jiang Weixi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Silence fell over the air.

Du Wei talked on and on, sounding very sincere.

"Don't worry, I'm not like Jiang Shanbao. I'm your real mother, I wouldn't do anything to you."

"I genuinely think that guy is really nice, that's why I wanted you to meet him."

"How many years do you, a young woman, have to work hard here to buy a house?"

"The guy's family has already prepared a wedding house for him, and it's even within the Third Ring Road..."

Jiang Weixi interrupted her: "Since the conditions are so good, why not introduce her to Wang Jing? She's about my age."

Du Wei looked embarrassed: "It was Wang Jing who was introduced from the beginning, but I accidentally sent your photo, and he just glanced at it and took a liking to you..."

She wasn't lying about this; she happened to have a photo of Jiang Weixi taken in high school on her phone, and when she selected the photo, she accidentally sent an extra one.

Her sister-in-law kept asking her to play matchmaker, and Du Wei had refused several times, but this time she couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to call Jiang Weixi over.

The doorbell rang.

Du Wei quickly stood up and went to open the door, saying warmly, "Oh, come in quickly."

Jiang Weixi sat on the sofa without moving.

Two people walked in through the door.

A middle-aged woman and a young man.

The young man put down the gift box he was carrying and immediately noticed the girl sitting on the sofa.

He straightened his clothes, looking a little nervous.

Because she was too beautiful.

Du Wei gestured for the two to sit down: "Come, come, sit down quickly."

Aunt Wang smiled so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes: "This must be Xixi, right? She's so pretty and adorable. Everyone loves her."

Du Wei introduced the group to each other.

The man had a refined and scholarly appearance. He said to Jiang Weixi, "Hello, my name is Wu Le."

Jiang Weixi nodded, but didn't say anything more, and didn't seem very interested.

Du Wei and Jiang Shanbao are indeed different. The man introduced to her was a normal person, a guy she thought was pretty good.

She could tell that Du Wei meant no harm and probably just wanted to introduce her to someone.

However, Jiang Weixi was still a little annoyed because this behavior was offensive in itself.

She remained silent throughout the meal.

Aunt Wang quietly pulled Wu Le aside and asked him how he was feeling.

Wu Le was satisfied: "It's pretty good."

Lunch is over.

Jiang Weixi stood up: "I have a driving theory test scheduled for this afternoon, so I'll be leaving now. You guys keep chatting."

Aunt Wang quickly said, "Let Wu Le take you home."

Jiang Weixi said no, but the other party insisted on delivering it.

She gave me an address.

On the road.

The two were sitting in the car.

Wu Le changed his slightly reserved demeanor in front of his elders and looked very confident.

"Miss Jiang, I have a house in Lushan that's already been renovated. If we get married, we can move in immediately."
