Chapter 29: Blind Date at the Zhong Family

Wu Xiuxiu returned home, and the Wu family was surprised to see her. They couldn’t understand why she came back so soon.

Wu Xiuxiu told them about Ye Xiaoli and Xiao Hongbin, which made the Wu family very angry. They scolded both Ye Xiaoli and Xiao Hongbin, but Ye Xiaoli received the most severe scolding.

“Xiuxiu, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. You must have been very disappointed that you couldn’t see ‘Sha Jia Bang ‘!” Ding Hongjuan looked at her daughter with heartache.

“No.” Wu Xiuxiu waved her hand. “Actually, my interest in ‘Sha Jia Bang ‘ has decreased a lot recently. I don’t want to see it that much anymore. I’m not sad at all that I can’t see it now.”

Seeing that Wu Xiuxiu’s expression didn’t seem like she was lying, Ding Hongjuan and Wu Zhipeng’s wife finally felt relieved.

“Mom, it’s good that Xiuxiu isn’t upset. From now on, let’s not think about or mention ‘Sha Jia Bang ‘, or Ye Xiaoli and Xiao Hongbin anymore…

Let’s just think about tomorrow’s blind date.” Dong Xiaoye said.

Even if they talked about “Sha Jia Bang”, they wouldn’t be able to get tickets for their younger sister. It would only make her feel uncomfortable.

It’s better not to mention “Sha Jia Bang”, or Ye Xiaoli and Xiao Hongbin anymore. Let’s forget about this completely.

Ding Hongjuan and Wu Zhipeng understood Dong Xiaoye’s meaning and immediately nodded together.

“Xiuxiu, shortly after you left, the matchmaker Liu came and said that the Zhong family is very happy to meet you tomorrow. She asked us to go with you to the Zhong family to see their home at ten o’clock tomorrow morning. They are very sincere.” Ding Hongjuan told her daughter.

When a man asks a woman to go to his home to see it during a blind date, it means he is very sincere.

“Xiuxiu, I wish you a smooth blind date with Zhong Xiaoshan tomorrow. If you think he’s good, then agree to marry him. Let him marry you as soon as possible. This way, you won’t have to worry about going to the countryside or about Luo Yong.” Wu Zhipeng said to his sister.

He was always worried about the rogue Luo Yong!

Wu Xiuxiu nodded, but in her heart, she thought that if she got married, she must marry someone she loves.

So, even though she was in a difficult situation now, with the countryside in front of her and Luo Yong behind her, she had to find someone to marry quickly. If she couldn’t find someone she loved, she wouldn’t just marry anyone.

Marriage is a lifelong matter, it concerns lifelong happiness. No matter how urgent it is, you must be cautious and careful. You must marry someone you love, otherwise you will suffer for the rest of your life!

…

The next day, it was only eight o’clock in the morning, and Wu Xiuxiu was still in bed when her mother called her up. She told her to get ready for the blind date, to dress up nicely.

She asked her to dress up like she did last night when she went to see the play, to wear a skirt, stockings, and high heels, to look super beautiful. But Wu Xiuxiu refused.

Last night, she had deliberately dressed up beautifully to see the play, but the outcome was like that. It made her feel that her deliberate dressing up was a bit ridiculous, so she didn’t want to dress up like that again today.

Wu Xiuxiu said this, and Ding Hongjuan understood her feelings, so she didn’t force her. She let Wu Xiuxiu wear whatever she liked.

Wu Xiuxiu saw that the weather outside was good, a bright sunny day, and the sun was already shining brightly in the morning. She decided not to wear a jacket, afraid of the heat.

She wore a white Dacron shirt, paired with a black straight-leg trouser. She wore black thousand-layer sole cloth shoes. She tied her hair into two long braids.

Although dressed plainly, Wu Xiuxiu’s natural beauty shone through, making her exceptionally stunning and captivating.

When Zhong Xiaoshan saw Wu Xiuxiu, his eyes widened, instantly captivated by her. His mother, who had come with him, had to call him twice before he snapped out of it.

“Xiuxiu, you’re so beautiful, so… I’m sorry! I hope I haven’t embarrassed myself.”

Zhong Xiaoshan scratched the back of his head awkwardly, apologizing with a sheepish smile, appearing somewhat clumsy.

Zhong’s mother glanced at her son and chuckled, “Silly boy!”

Everyone else laughed, except for Wu Xiuxiu.

Wu Xiuxiu discreetly observed Zhong Xiaoshan. He was decent-looking, with a simple and honest face. As a marriage prospect, he wasn’t bad, but she didn’t feel any attraction towards him.

“Excuse me, I hope I haven’t embarrassed you all… Please come in.”

Zhong’s mother greeted Wu Xiuxiu and her companions with a warm and friendly smile, leading them through the gate of the printing factory’s family compound.

Although the matchmaker, Liu, wasn’t visiting the Wu family for the first time and knew exactly where they lived in the printing factory’s family compound, Zhong’s mother still brought her son to the gate to greet Liu and the Wu family at the appointed time, which left a good impression.

It was a weekend, and the printing factory was closed, so everyone was off. As soon as Zhong’s mother and son, along with Liu and the Wu family, entered the family compound, they encountered many of their colleagues who greeted them.

The colleagues curiously stared at Wu Xiuxiu, and those with sharp eyes guessed that she was Zhong Xiaoshan’s blind date. They thought to themselves how lucky Zhong Xiaoshan was to have such a beautiful blind date.

Some young men felt envious, hoping that Zhong Xiaoshan and Wu Xiuxiu wouldn’t hit it off, giving them a chance to have a blind date with Wu Xiuxiu. Others directly inquired about Wu Xiuxiu from Zhong’s mother and son, making Wu Xiuxiu feel a bit overwhelmed.

Upon arriving at the Zhong family’s home, Zhong’s father, who was waiting for Wu Xiuxiu and the others, quickly ushered them in, offering them melon seeds, peanuts, and fruit candies, showing great hospitality. He, like his wife and son, seemed like a good person.

“Matchmaker Liu, thank you so much for introducing such a wonderful girl like Xiuxiu to our Xiaoshan. Xiuxiu is truly one in a million, someone you just can’t help but love at first sight!”

Zhong’s mother couldn’t take her eyes off Wu Xiuxiu, her expression revealing her growing fondness for her. It was clear that she was very pleased with Wu Xiuxiu.

“Yes, yes!” Zhong Xiaoshan nodded vigorously, his eyes never leaving Wu Xiuxiu, filled with nothing but admiration.

“Earlier, Matchmaker Liu kept praising Xiuxiu to us, saying how wonderful she is. We didn’t quite believe her, thinking how could there be such a perfect girl in the world? She’s incredibly beautiful, has a great personality, is a high school student, and is multi-talented, playing the harmonium and singing. Even her family is great.

Today, after meeting Xiuxiu, we realized that Matchmaker Liu wasn’t exaggerating at all. Xiuxiu is truly one in a million. And Big Sister Ding and Xiaodong also seem like wonderful people. Whoever marries Xiuxiu and has Big Sister Ding and Xiaodong as in-laws is truly blessed.”

Zhong’s father also nodded, praising Wu Xiuxiu, Ding Hongjuan, and Dong Xiaoye, making his intentions clear: he hoped his son would marry Wu Xiuxiu and become in-laws with Ding Hongjuan and Dong Xiaoye.

He, his wife, and their son all had the same feeling: they had fallen for Wu Xiuxiu at first sight.

Wu Xiuxiu was not only exceptionally beautiful and had a refined aura, but she was also graceful and polite.

Most importantly, Zhong’s father, like his wife, noticed his son’s deep affection and admiration for Wu Xiuxiu. Wu Xiuxiu was also a great catch, so he wanted his son to marry her, ensuring his son’s happiness and a happy ending for everyone.
