Chapter 373: Matchmaker Wang Makes Jia Zhang Rely on the Li Family

"You!" Jia Zhang was completely dumbfounded.

She had originally thought this Li Mei was a spoiled and willful girl, but she didn't expect her to be a bit of a fan-girl who would actually take the initiative to mention the blind date. No wonder Jia Dongxu would reject her!

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave Jia Dongxu a look, signaling him to say a few nice words to coax the young lady so as not to offend her.

Jia Dongxu shook his head and turned to leave.

Li Mei wouldn't let him go so easily. She hurriedly chased after him and blocked Jia Dongxu, asking: "What are you doing? Didn't you just say you were willing to go on a blind date with me? I was even prepared to bring my boyfriend over. Now you want to slip away? What's the meaning of this? Are you playing with me?"

Jia Dongxu looked at her indifferently and said: "Are you sure you want to go on a blind date with me? I'll say the ugly things first: I'm dirt poor. I have no money, no house, no car, and I can't even afford the bride price."

"Tch!" Li Mei smiled contemptuously: "It doesn't matter! I live in the courtyard next to yours, don't I know that?"

Jia Dongxu was stunned upon hearing this and blurted out: "Then how did you know I have no house or car?" Li Mei glanced around and said: "Well, do I even need to guess with this Sihe Academy? Except for my house, all the other units in this building are rented out!~"

Jia Dongxu suddenly had a moment of realization.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but sigh: "I also know that Li Shen's family is well-off. You're Li Mei, right? I don't think we're very suitable. Let's leave it at that for today." After saying this, he walked away.

Seeing this, Li Mei was stunned.

After Jia Dongxu left, Jia Zhang hurriedly grabbed Li Mei: "Xiao Mei, don't take it to heart. I don't know what's gotten into Dongxu today. I'll talk to him when I get back, and you two can have a good chat another day."

Li Mei couldn't help but mutter: "What is this? He's such an old antique, yet he's still being picky. I didn't force him to marry me; it was your family that said you wanted a blind date. Hmph." After saying this, she turned and left.

Watching Li Mei leave, Jia Zhang shook her head helplessly and complained in a low voice to Matchmaker Wang, who had just arrived: "Look, I told you long ago to mind your own business, but you wouldn't listen. Tell me, what's gotten into my Dongxu today?"

Hearing this, Matchmaker Wang gave a bitter smile and said: "Auntie Jia, I know, but think about it: if we had successfully played matchmaker for Dongxu and Li Mei, then Dongxu would be the son-in-law of the Li family. Are you afraid you wouldn't be able to make it big in the Sihe Academy in the future?"

"That's easy for you to say, that's just what you think," Jia Zhang retorted.

"In our Sihe Academy, whose life is better than the Li family's? Let's not even talk about First Uncle or Second Uncle. Even if we don't use Dongxu to get rich, we can slowly outlast those people in the future," Jia Dahai advised.

"Fine, then I'll go find Li Shen next door tomorrow and make things clear to her, so she doesn't keep thinking about this all day," Jia Zhang said, nodding.

The next day, Jia Zhang was waiting early at Li Shen's door.

Just as expected, this time Li Shen's family didn't make excuses like they did yesterday, and their attitude was even more enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

But when Jia Zhang stated the purpose of her visit, Li Shen immediately fell silent, her brows slightly furrowed.

Jia Zhang became anxious and said: "What? Sister-in-law, are you not satisfied?"

"Sigh! It's not that I look down on your family, it's just that this matter..." Li Shen hesitated.

"If you have any concerns, just say them. As long as it can be achieved, any price is fine," Jia Zhang said, patting her chest. ===== CHAPTER 775 =====

Li Shen hesitated for a moment and finally gritted her teeth: "My Xiao Mei came back and told me everything. She said your Dongxu said to forget about this blind date. Since your son said so, what else is there for our family to say?"

Jia Zhang was shocked and said: "What? Dongxu said to forget it? No, this matter must be clarified, otherwise, I'll feel stifled!"

"No, I didn't say we wouldn't talk, it's just that this matter is... well, anyway, my daughter is already back, she should know best. I'll let her come back and talk to you, okay?"

"Uh..." Jia Zhang paused, thinking: I wish your Xiao Mei would come back, but if she could come back, would I need to come and beg you?

Seeing this, Li Shen sighed and walked toward her house.

Jia Zhang hurriedly followed, saying anxiously as she walked: "Oh! Sister-in-law Li, don't! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Li Shen stopped and said: "What else is there to say? Your Dongxu made it quite clear. No need to talk, go back!"

"But, this, this really needs to be explained. Let us meet once, I have very important things to tell you," Jia Zhang continued.

"What things?" Li Shen asked curiously.

Jia Zhang said: "It's about your daughter and my Dongxu!"

Li Shen was startled, her expression changing for a long while before she nodded: "Alright then, you go home and wait first. I'll go in and invite her parents and the child out."

"Hmm! Okay, okay!" Jia Zhang said gratefully.

While Jia Zhang was waiting outside, she saw Wan Ping'an enter the Li family's courtyard.

Wan Ping'an had originally been sleeping in his room that morning, but Matchmaker Wang came to find him, saying that the second daughter of Li Shen's family next door was on a blind date.

Li Shen had asked Matchmaker Wang to find Wan Ping'an.

They wanted First Uncle Wan Ping'an to come over and take a look, as Li Shen's second daughter was quite a catch.

Wan Ping'an couldn't refuse, so he came to the courtyard, never expecting to see Jia Zhang here too. What bad luck.

"Wan Ping'an? What are you doing here?" Jia Zhang said to Wan Ping'an with disdain.

Wan Ping'an curled his lips, ignored Jia Zhang, and walked straight into the courtyard.

Seeing Wan Ping'an dare to ignore her, Jia Zhang cursed angrily and raised her leg to kick him, but was stopped by Matchmaker Wang.

Matchmaker Wang advised: "Auntie Jia, calm down, don't be angry. Let's discuss it when Li's parents come out..."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and waited for a while, then saw Li Shen leading Li Mei out.

She was wearing a floral shirt, with black, beautiful braids hanging over her shoulders; her skin was as fair as snow, tender and smooth.

Her features were exquisite and beautiful, her brows long and slender, her apricot eyes filled with autumn water, her nose straight and pretty, her cherry-red lips exuding an alluring luster, and she had a melon-shaped face.

Her willow-leaf brows, her small and exquisite nose, and beneath it, a pair of crystal-clear, charming red lips, with neat, jade-white teeth.

Her neck was slender, with soft and beautiful curves; her arms were fair and delicate, as smooth and round as jade carvings.

Her long, straight, and plump legs looked exceptionally round and well-proportioned; she was tall and slim, with a dark blue silk belt tied around her waist; her body curves were exquisite and graceful.

Looking at this girl, Jia Zhang was stunned. This girl was too beautiful. If her Dongxu could marry her, how much face would she have?

It's just that she didn't know what her son was thinking, actually saying to forget about the blind date, forcing her, the mother, to come over early in the morning to apologize. ===== CHAPTER 776 =====
