Chapter 1758: The Zhang Family Is Arranging a Blind Date for Zhang Yurong

~4 min read 744 words

By the time she figured out the relationships between the people in the private room upstairs and clearly heard what they were saying, her expression immediately turned very unpleasant.

To have a source for what she was about to say, she looked at Guo Wenjing and said, "Sister-in-law, I just remembered something and want to go upstairs to ask Aunt Zhang about it; I'll be right back down."

Guo Wenjing didn't suspect a thing: "Alright, go quickly."

Going upstairs was just a ruse for Chuxue, but after hearing the conversation inside, her mood was truly terrible. She had originally thought the Zhang family was decent enough, but she never expected that just a few days after her daughter's divorce, they were already in such a rush to find her a new match, and without even the person involved being present.

If this matter goes through, what will happen to that child, Jinyi?

As she was thinking this, the answer came from inside the private room: "I heard your granddaughter is with your daughter?"

"Yes, because the child is young and can't leave her mother..."

She hadn't even finished speaking when the man interrupted: "If the match between me and Zhang Yurong succeeds, that child had better be sent back to her father's side; our family does not raise other people's children."

The man inside was someone Chuxue didn't know, but judging by his arrogant tone, he probably wasn't a good person either.

Chuxue listened for a while longer and only heard that the man's name was Gao Jianbai.

Hearing someone coming upstairs, she pretended nothing was wrong and walked back downstairs.

Returning to her seat, the braised fish Sister-in-law had ordered was already served: "Are you alright? Why were you gone so long?"

Chuxue lowered her voice and said, "The Zhang family is arranging a blind date for Zhang Yurong."

Guo Wenjing was so shocked that the piece of fish she had just picked up fell into her bowl: "So soon?"

Chuxue glanced up at the second floor: "We just don't know if Zhang Yurong knows about this."

As for the man's remark about not raising outsiders, Chuxue didn't mention it; after all, the matter hadn't happened yet, and she wasn't clear on what Zhang Yurong's attitude was.

Guo Wenjing frowned and said, "Could it be that Zhang Yurong found out about Yanhong's matter and is now also arranging a blind date to get married?"

Chuxue shook her head: "I'm not sure."

Guo Wenjing thought of something and looked at Chuxue: "Should we tell Mom and Dad about this in advance?"

Chuxue nodded: "We should tell them in advance. We can't control whether Zhang Yurong marries or not, but Jinyi must be properly taken care of."

Only then did Chuxue realize the topic had gone off track: "Sister-in-law, Mom, Dad, and Big Brother went over there; what exactly is the situation over there?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Wenjing immediately felt angry: "Ninety percent chance they were set up; there should be news within the next day or two."

While speaking, she gestured for Chuxue to pick up some food: "Later, we must properly thank Yan Cheng's comrade-in-arms; this time he really put in a lot of effort. If it weren't for the information he provided, Liu Laosan might have stubbornly fallen into the trap."

Chuxue made an "Mm" sound: "Alright, I'll tell Yan Cheng later."

Even if Guo Wenjing hadn't said it, they were going to thank Zhang Xiangyang anyway; after all, the house at his wife's aunt's place was truly excellent.

However, she didn't tell Sister-in-law about the matter of buying the house.

It was truly coincidental. Just as the two of them finished eating and stepped out of the state-run restaurant door, and just as they stopped to say a few words before going their separate ways, the voice of Zhang's mother came from behind: "Section Chief Gao, I'm entrusting my son's matter to you. Rest assured, we will have her come back soon."

There we go; now there was no need to investigate further. With just these few sentences, the two sisters-in-law understood what was going on inside. No wonder Zhang's mother was in such a rush to find a match for her divorced daughter; it was all for her son.

Chuxue was very displeased. She made a decision: regardless of whether Zhang Yurong knew about this matter, as sisters-in-law, she would prepare to call and remind her in a moment.
