Chapter 239: Blind Date Blunder II

You could call him a big dummy; Jin Zhu just stood there, not saying a single word, head lowered, even shyer than Mei Ju.

An impatient Lei Nainai gave him a pat; everything was arranged nicely inside the house—what to say, what to do—but as soon as he stepped out everything fell apart.

"Jin Zhu, don't just stand there like a fool; say hello to the other person, and offer to pour some water…"

Lei Nainai had to teach him again; Jin Zhu finally reacted, stepped forward two paces, and grabbed a cup to get water.

When Jin Zhu approached, Mei Ju only felt a towering shadow over her; she didn't look up, merely said politely, "Thank you."

Seeing that Jin Zhu finally knew how to do something, Lei Nainai was delighted, but at the same time she noticed something off and hurriedly pulled Lu Cheng aside.

"Xiao Lu, why is it that this girl doesn't glance at Jin Zhu at all, but keeps looking at you? Does she have some other intention?"

Lu Cheng also noticed, but didn't think much of it.

"Lei Nainai, I think she's still nervous. I'm acting as a matchmaker, essentially like her family; when someone is nervous, they tend to want to stay close to their family."

Lei Nainai found that reasonable: "Then let's do this: there are many people outside, which inevitably makes them nervous; why not let the two go into a room and talk alone for a while?"

"Sounds fine to me."

At this moment Lei Nainai walked to the meeting tea table, smiled and said, "Since you've come, it shows you know something about my family's situation. Whatever your thoughts, you two should go into the room and chat for a bit."

Mei Ju stood up, still keeping her head down, and said, "No need to keep talking, I'm quite satisfied. How about... just set a date right away?"

"Huh?" Lei Nainai was stunned, taking a while to process.

"Set a date? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

Mei Ju brushed the hair from her forehead: "It is a bit fast, but I think we're both not kids anymore. My mother wants me to marry soon. The chat earlier went well, I'm satisfied."

Lei Nainai didn't understand at first; the chat earlier was good? They didn't really talk, just said thank you to Jin Zhu.

Fearing Mei Ju might misunderstand, Lei Nainai quickly explained, "Grandma doesn't mean anything else; I just want you to get to know more. Though I'm very satisfied with you, you still need more exposure."

Seeing Lei Nainai's persistence, Mei Ju thought it over and reluctantly lowered her head, saying, "Alright then, since you say so, I'm willing to chat more. You, come into the room with me."

Lu Cheng looked left and right, confirming that Mei Ju was inviting him inside; how could she be this nervous, even insisting on bringing her "matchmaker" along?

"Well then, don't be nervous. You go in first; I'll go in later."

Lu Cheng thought to let the two talk alone first, then he would step in; with his silver tongue, once he says the final words, there should be no problem.

Mei Ju nodded, entered the room first; Lei Nainai, seeing this, quickly gave Jin Zhu another instruction.

"Jin Zhu, once inside, be proactive. If you don't know what to say, ask about their family—how many people, how many siblings... When you see they've finished their water, offer to pour some for them..."

Watching Lei Nainai chatter on with such meticulous instructions, Lu Cheng felt that the three of them—Jin Zhu included—had truly encountered a wonderful family like Captain Lei's.

Probably even Lei Nainai's own child hasn't been cared for this much.

"Big guy, hurry into the room; don't keep them waiting impatiently."

"Jin Zhu only entered the room now," Lu Cheng pulled Lei Nainai aside: "Lei Nainai, worrying now won't help; the two need to talk on their own. Moreover, even if this works out, they'll live their lives together afterward, and you can't be with them forever. It's good for Jin Zhu to experience it himself."

Lei Nainai sighed, "I'm just afraid Jin Zhu can't speak; when people see how honest he is, they might not be satisfied..."

Lei Nainai sighed, "I'm just afraid this Jin Zhu won't speak; once people see how honest he is, they'll be even less satisfied…"

In the room, Mei Ju sat sideways on the bedside, head lowered, a shy expression on her face; hearing the door open, she spoke without looking up.

In the room, Mei Ju kept her head down, sitting shyly at the bedside; hearing the door open, she spoke without even lifting her head.

Jin Zhu stood there, nervous, having forgotten everything Lei Nainai told him, rubbing his hands, not knowing how to start.

Mei Ju still kept her head down: "Look at you, the conversation earlier went well, why are you silent now?"

"I... I don't know what to say..."

Hearing Jin Zhu's voice, Mei Ju suddenly lifted her head, blinking toward the doorway: "Why did you come in?"

Hearing Zhao Jinzhu's voice, Mei Ju suddenly lifted her head, blinking as she looked toward the doorway: "Why is it you who came in?"

Jin Zhu scratched his head, unsure how to answer: "Yes, Lei Nainai sent me in."

"Then you go out first; you…"

Mei Ju pursed her lips, a shy expression: "You call Chengcheng in."

Mei Ju pursed her lips, a shy expression on her face: "You called Chengcheng in."

When Lei Nainai saw Jin Zhu scratching his head and leaving, she was surprised for a moment.

"Out so quickly? Jin Zhu, why aren't you chatting properly with them?"

"Hmm? Lei Nainai, she said to let the team leader go in for a moment."

"Oh dear, what's up with this girl? Is she overly nervous? We're not going to eat her."

Lei Nainai helplessly looked at Lu Cheng: "Xiao Lu, why don't you go in with them? Maybe Jin Zhu can't speak; you can go inside and praise Jin Zhu's virtues more."

"Alright, Lei Nainai, don't worry; I'll handle it clearly and properly for you."

Watching Lu Cheng walk in with Jin Zhu, Lei Nainai sighed again; if these kids had even half of Lu Cheng's competence, they wouldn't all be without a bride today.

In the room, Mei Ju finally saw Lu Cheng arrive, but when she also saw Jin Zhu following in, she couldn't help but frown.

The three sat together in one room; to be honest, Lu Cheng felt quite awkward, mainly because it was his first time arranging such a matter.

The three stared at each other; Jin Zhu didn't utter a word, so Lu Cheng had to explain a couple of things for him.

"Hehe, a bit honest, don't mind it."

Mei Ju gently shook her head: "Being honest is good; I like honest people."

Lu Cheng nodded, not expecting things to progress so smoothly.

"Comrade Mei Ju, you've learned about the family background; do you have any opinions on his stature?"

Mei Ju gave Lu Cheng a quick look: "No opinion, his height is fine."

Jin Zhu's only flaw is being too tall; hearing that Lu Cheng has no issue with his height, there's no problem left.

"Alright, since there are no objections, go back and discuss with your family what they need. We don't even need a matchmaker; you can speak directly to me or to Group Leader Su. Rest assured, we'll marry you in a glorious way; whatever others have, you'll have too. We'll never shortchange you."

Lu Cheng stood up: "Alright, since there are no objections, you go back and discuss with your family, see what they need; we don't need a matchmaker here, you can just tell me or Team Leader Su, either is fine."

"One thing, please rest assured, I will definitely marry you in a glorious way; whatever others have, you will also have, we will absolutely not shortchange you."

Mei Ju was overjoyed in her heart, shyly nodded, "Hmm."

Seeing Mei Ju agree, Lu Cheng, like an old father, finally let out a sigh of relief; although Zhao Jin Zhu and the other two have all sorts of flaws, now each one that can be solved is being solved.

Patting Zhao Jin Zhu's shoulder, Lu Cheng said happily, "Big guy, congratulations! When you marry Comrade Mei Ju, you must first toast me with the first cup of wine, otherwise I won't be willing."

Zhao Jin Zhu stole another glance at Mei Ju, his heart pounding wildly; just as he was about to speak, Mei Ju blinked and spoke first.

"Wait… who am I marrying?"
