Liu Gang was a bit annoyed as he said, "Don’t rush. I just got divorced and now you want me to quickly get engaged and married? What would the leaders think of me? If the girl finds out, she may not want to be with me. You can’t eat hot tofu in haste, so let’s wait a while. Don’t worry, I’ll find a woman from a good family."
He must get promoted, or else he might have to change jobs this year. Even if he gets assigned somewhere, it won’t be a high position. He really can’t accept this.
"Yeah, you’re right. Make sure to act quickly. Remember, without power, it’s not going to work! Just looking at a girl’s appearance and youth won’t do if her parents are powerless. We can’t want that, especially since this isn’t your first marriage. You should know better! It’s okay if she doesn’t look perfect."
Liu Gang nodded, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t miss this opportunity."
He has to find a capable partner, and when he was introducing a prospect to Wan Yunhong last time, he thought of it — many of Wan Yunhong’s colleagues are daughters of high-level officials. If he could link up with one, it would be good. Just as he was thinking of Wan Yunhong, she arrived.
Mrs. Liu went to open the door and was initially stunned to see Wan Yunhong. Then, with a warm smile, she said, "Who is this...?"
"I’m Wan Yunhong, a friend of Liu Gang." Wan Yunhong didn’t like this woman. Her squinty eyes and sharp demeanor, coupled with her bad mood, made Wan Yunhong refuse to even glance at her.
"Oh, I see." Mrs. Liu looked her up and down and smiled, "I hadn’t seen you before. Do you live in the compound?"
"No, my family is from the countryside. I don’t live in the compound." Being naturally snobbish, Wan Yunhong clearly saw through her kind. She straightforwardly announced her background to prevent any gossip. She’s not yet prepared to give up on marrying Shi Qing.
Mrs. Liu was initially cheerful, but her face fell upon hearing she’s from the countryside, and said coolly, "I see, so what brings you here?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Are you going to let me in or not?" Wan Yunhong said, "If you don’t let me in, I’ll leave, but I won’t take responsibility if your son’s matters are delayed."
Seeing Wan Yunhong’s poor attitude, the woman was angry but indeed worried about affecting her son, so she said, "My son is at home. Come on in, come on in."
Wan Yunhong nodded and followed her inside.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Wan Yunhong and said towards the inner room, "Liu Gang, come out quickly! What are you doing inside? Your friend has come to see you. You’re just wasting your time every day without looking for a proper partner, staying home all the time, and the people visiting aren’t decent. How will you get married? You’re becoming more irresponsible!"
Wan Yunhong turned her head to glance at Mrs. Liu, "Auntie, are you talking about me?"
"You, silly child, where did I mention you? I’m just worried my son won’t find a good match. You know, the matter we worry about is his marriage." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
She thought this little girl had quite the temper, immediately firing back like that. Such a woman can’t be a daughter-in-law. Ai Mei showed such tendencies later on, and if they find another unruly one, it would really be troublesome.
Wan Yunhong chuckled, "As long as that’s not the case, that’s good. I have a partner already, so if there’s too much idle gossip, I worry my partner might get upset. Rest assured, not everyone is interested in your son." After speaking, she went into the small room to find Liu Gang.
Mrs. Liu curled her lips, annoyed that she hadn’t mentioned having a partner sooner. She wanted to follow inside, but Liu Gang came out and said, "Mom, go buy a block of tofu. I want to eat tofu tonight."
"Alright, I’ll go later..." She craned her neck to look inside.
