Chapter 4644: Playing Hard to Get

"Junior brother, it seems that your idea is right. It was really a wrong decision for me to let Afan learn Taoism from me." Mao Xiaofang was very moved when he saw Afan's current achievements.

Ah Fan had followed him for more than ten years, but he had never achieved much. He had neither the Dao nor the ways of the world. A young man of seventeen or eighteen was still as naive as a child.

But after two years of night school, I actually learned a good skill. Now I repair radios, washing machines, electric irons, and electric fans, and I'm doing very well. It's really great.

"Brother, don't say that. If you hadn't taken Afan in, he would have starved to death. It was not easy for you to raise him." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "It's a pity that Afan doesn't have the talent for cultivation. Now he can support this repair shop, which is not bad. I hope he can do better and better."

"I hope so too." Mao Xiaofang nodded and said, "Unfortunately, this silly boy only likes the girl with gold, and he won't accept anyone who helps him to matchmake. It really makes me angry."

It turned out that after Afan opened his repair shop, his business was very good. People from the neighborhood came to him for repairs. I can't say that he made a lot of money, but at least he could make a living. Therefore, several families were interested in him and were willing to let him be their son-in-law.

The matchmaker came to his house several times to help him find a date, but Afan didn't want to choose anyone else except He Daijin.

But He Daijin looked down on him and was obsessed with marrying a rich boy, so Afan's friendship was wasted.

The key point is that He Daijin doesn't like Afan as a person, but she likes Afan's money. Not only does she often ask Afan to buy things for her, she even asks Afan for money directly. Then she uses the clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics bought by Afan, and spends the money given by Afan to go to dance halls and coffee shops to act like a lady...

When Mao Xiaofang found out about this, he was almost furious.

"Brother, don't worry. Let me persuade Afan." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

……

"Afan~" Xiang Nan then called Afan to his side, "Do you want to catch up with He Daijin?"

"Of course I did, Uncle Master. I wish I could have her as my wife." Ah Fan nodded immediately, "But she just doesn't like me."

"That's normal. If I were you, I wouldn't look down on you either." Xiang Nan pouted.

"Why, Uncle Master, am I not good enough to her? I almost gave her my life." Afan said immediately.

"Because you don't know how to chase girls." Xiang Nan pouted and said, "To chase girls, besides being bold, careful, and thick-skinned, the key is to know the 'timing'."

"The temperature?" Ah Fan was a little surprised. "What do you mean by 'temperature'?"

"As the old saying goes, only women and villains are difficult to raise. If you keep them away, they will complain. If you get close to them, they will be rude." Xiang Nan explained, "It means that women are just like villains. If you keep them away, they will complain about you. If you get close to them, they will be annoyed by you and will not take you seriously."

"Yes, Ajin often says that I am annoying." Afan nodded immediately.

"So you have to learn how to grasp the right timing. If you are too close, distance yourself from her. If you are too distant, get closer." Xiang Nan explained, "For example, you are too close to her now. Keep away from her, don't go to her anymore, and don't give her money anymore."

"What if she gets angry and ignores me from now on? What should I do then?" Ah Fan said worriedly upon hearing this.

"He Daijin knew you would think this way, so he held you tightly." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Afan, you actually don't understand yourself.

You are only 20 years old this year, you are good-looking, and you have a good skill. Compared with the young people around you, how many are better than you? Young people like you will never have trouble finding a partner.

What does He Daijin have? She is following my sister now. She is called an apprentice, but in fact she is just a maid. She earns only a hundred dollars a month, not even half of what you earn.

Besides, her family is from the countryside, she has no background and no future, and it's only because you are willing to marry her. Do you think there are other people pursuing her besides you? So you are more confident than her. Believe it or not, if you agree to go on a blind date with the matchmaker today, He Daijin will come to see you tomorrow."

"Really, uncle-master?" Afan asked excitedly.

In the past two years, he had always gone to He Daijin, and He Daijin had never taken the initiative to look for him. If there really came a day when He Daijin took the initiative to look for him, he would be willing to die.

Seeing how excited he was, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh that those who bootlick him will not have a good death.

"Seriously, if you don't believe me, take a gamble." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If I lose, I will write you a 'harmony talisman' to guarantee that you can be with He Daijin."

"Okay." Afan nodded.

"Then if you lose, you have to listen to my instructions on how to pursue girls in the future." Xiang Nan said again.

"Okay." Afan nodded again.

……

Afterwards, under Xiang Nan's arrangement, Afan had a blind date with the daughter of Mr. Zhou, the owner of Heqing Restaurant.

Heqing Restaurant is a large restaurant. Boss Zhou's daughter is not only beautiful, but also literate, well-educated and very presentable. In fact, she is better than Afan.

But the reason why Boss Zhou agreed to the blind date was mainly for the sake of Mao Xiaofang and Xiang Nan.

Ah Fan is Mao Xiaofang's apprentice and Xiang Nan's nephew. With this relationship, he will be a safe bet in the future. If my daughter marries him, she will not have a life of wealth and glory, but at least she will enjoy a peaceful life.

For parents, it is already a very good thing if their children are safe and well.

Xiang Nan also hopes that Afan can see more of the world, see more of what a "good girl" is, and not mistake He Daijin's rotten steamed bread for bird's nest and shark fin.

However, Afan ultimately did not fall in love with Boss Zhou's daughter. He thought that although the girl was nice, she was still not as good as Jin Kexin. Mao Xiaofang was so angry that he almost hit him.

"Brother, don't do it, don't do it. The child is grown up, and it's a good thing for him to have his own ideas." Xiang Nan hurriedly advised, "But Afan, if He Daijin takes the initiative to find you tomorrow, then you will lose, and you have to listen to me then."

Afan nodded.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan spread the news that Afan was going on a blind date with Miss Zhou.

And the next day, He Daijin really took the initiative to come to find Afan.

It turned out that she also knew that it was difficult for her to get married. Since Zhong Jun stopped running the Taoist temple and became a rich woman enjoying a leisurely life at home, she was considered unemployed.

Now she is still Zhong Jun's apprentice in name, accompanying her to eat and drink all day, but in fact she is just a maid. The key is that she is not as capable and hardworking as a maid.

She could neither cook nor knit, wash clothes, mend clothes, or clean the house, so it was very difficult for her to get married. After all, who would want to marry a vase that was good-looking but useless?

And those young masters from famous families would not marry a poor girl like her who had no money, no skills, and no background. Therefore, she could only rely on trickery to make Ah Fan a sucker.

Now that she heard that the scapegoat was trying to escape, she naturally panicked and rushed over to see what was going on.
