“Sit down!” Madam Yu snapped.
Yu Yang sighed and sat back down, staring at his grandmother.
“If you want to get married, I can arrange a few blind dates for you. There are several girls out there. You just have to choose one.”
“I already did.”
“Yu Yang!”
“Grandma.” He rubbed his forehead.
“Unless you don’t want me to get married, stop persisting. Goodbye, I have something to attend to.”
Before she could call him back, he quickly walked out of the room.
“Better. Leave!” Madam Yu clutched her chest.
“This boy is going to kill me one day. If only his father were still alive… Marriage is not a joke!”
“Uhm… maybe they really love each other?” Yu Yang’s cousin, Luo Xi, suggested.
“Maybe it was love at first sight?”
Madam Yu scoffed.
“Love? There is no such thing as love at first sight these days! She’s probably just after his wealth!”
“Don’t say that, Mother,” Madam Yu’s adoptive daughter said.
“We all know Xiao Yang. He wouldn’t be careless enough to marry someone who’s only after his money. All these years, he has never been linked to any woman, and those who threw themselves at him suffered terribly.”
“Wasn’t it rumored that Xiao Yang was waiting for his dream woman from heaven? Maybe… this is her.”
“Then we’ll just have to see for ourselves,” Madam Yu said.
“How? What do you mean?” Luo Xi asked.
“What Grandmother means is that we’ll find out whether she truly likes him and whether she’s worthy of our Yang-Ge,” Jiang Nian explained.
“He said he’ll introduce her to us in a few days, right? That’s our chance.”
“In the meantime, we have another way of finding out,” Zhuang Ying said with a smile.
Madam Yu looked at her curiously.
“How?”
Madam Yu genuinely wanted happiness for her family.
Naturally, the news that her grandson intended to marry a random girl who had proposed to him at a gathering worried her greatly.
She didn’t care about the girl’s background as long as she truly loved her grandson.
What if she was only after the money?
What if she didn’t genuinely love him?
What if problems arose after the marriage?
What if she broke his heart? The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
Her grandson had never been in love before.
The last thing she wanted was for him to be hurt.
“Linda,” Zhuang Ying said, looking at her grandmother.
“She’s close to Yang-Ge, so she must know her. She’ll know whether the Li girl truly likes him or not.”
Linda had grown up with the Yu family.
Her parents had been close friends of theirs, and after they died in a car accident, she was taken in by the Yu family.
However, after an incident occurred within the household, she left and never returned.
“Well then, what are you waiting for?” Madam Yu urged.
“Call Linda right now.”
Zhuang Ying scratched the back of her neck awkwardly.
“Well… she might not pick up my call.”
Madam Yu looked confused.
“Why?”
“She knows I only call when I need something.”
“Why would you do that?”
“Grandmother, are you blaming me? Since she left, when was the last time you contacted her?”
Madam Yu looked away.
“Why would I contact her?”
Before Zhuang Ying could answer, Jiang Nian interrupted.
“Linda and I are still close. We spoke recently. Maybe I should call her?”
Madam Yu’s eyes brightened.
“Yes, yes! Please do.”
Jiang Nian nodded and pulled out her phone before dialing Linda’s number.
“Put it on speaker,” Madam Yu instructed.
Jiang Nian obeyed.
The phone rang for a while before
Linda finally answered.
“Good afternoon, Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Nian laughed awkwardly.
“As you wish.”
Jiang Nian glanced at the family members gathered around her.
Madam Yu immediately signaled for her to continue.
“How have you been recently? Are you—”
“Nian Nian.”
Linda’s calm voice interrupted her.
“Judging by your tone today, it sounds like you need something. What is it?”
Jiang Nian squeezed her eyes shut.
“Err…”
“Go straight to the point,” Jiang Nian’s mother whispered.
“Yang-Ge is getting married. Did you know about it?” Jiang Nian asked.
There was a brief silence.
“Yes.”
“Oh? Have you met her? What’s she like?”
“She’s… quite alright. Likable, but not friendly.”
Madam Yu frowned.
Linda continued,
“And she really loves President Yu.”
Madam Yu’s expression immediately softened after hearing the last part.
Hearing those words from Linda put her mind at ease.
She trusted Linda.
The girl had never spoken carelessly or made claims she wasn’t certain of.
“And…” Jiang Nian prompted, hoping for more information.
“Nian Nian.”
The moment Jiang Nian heard that tone, she smiled awkwardly and gave the family a look that clearly said, It’s over.
Linda continued, “I think it would be best if you meet her yourselves. There will be a family introduction soon, won’t there?”
“Uh… yes. Yang-Ge mentioned it.”
“Mm.” Linda paused briefly.
“If there’s nothing else, I have to go now. Take care of yourself. And send my greetings to Old Granny.”
“I will.”
The call ended.
