Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1258 Life is a long journey (Give Wenrunruyu +20)

Wang Jiwei scratched his head: "I'm not taking any chances. To be honest, it would be a lie to say I have no feelings for Xuemei, but I genuinely feel that I'm not good enough for her. It has nothing to do with the two of you; it's just about her and me."

Xiao Wei said, "Then you don't need to think about it. I haven't seen anyone who's a good match for my sister. This isn't a transaction; you just got lucky and my sister took a liking to you. I can't figure out what she saw in you; there's nothing particularly special about you."

Wang Jiwei said, "It wasn't as embarrassing as you make it out to me, was it?"

Xiao Wei said, "What? Are you as handsome as Lao Xia? Are you as good-natured as Xiao Hui? Are you as rich as me?"

Wang Jiwei lowered his head: "No. Wait a minute, how the hell can this be compared to the three of you?"

Chen Hui laughed and said, "Alright, it's settled then, good thing. Call home tomorrow and ask your brother to bring your daughter over."

Wang Jiwei stared in disbelief: "What's going on? Is it in such a hurry? Can't you give me some time?"

Xiaowei said, "Don't be so ungrateful. Xiaohui is right. Have someone send the child over tomorrow. What kind of life can a little girl have in the countryside? Her parents aren't around. Send her over for my sister to take care of. It'll give her something to do and also help her bond with her."

Wang Jiwei said, "Is it up to me to decide my own affairs?"

Chen Hui said, "No way. Don't keep quiet about it. A grown man like you can't be straightforward. You've really gotten a windfall. What, you're going to fuss over whether it's salty or not?"

Xiao Wei stood up and said, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll talk to my sister tomorrow. You can go to sleep now."

Wang Jiwei grabbed a pillow and threw it at Xiao Wei: "How the hell am I supposed to sleep?"

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui laughed and left the house.

Xiao Wei slept soundly that night, a major concern on his mind resolved.

That night, Qin Xuemei tossed and turned in her dreams, feeling both worried and ashamed.

That night, Wang Jiwei stared wide-eyed at the ceiling until dawn.

The next morning, Xiaowei got up early to exercise in the yard. Qin Xuemei, unusually, stayed in bed late, not getting up until almost ten o'clock, and came out to wash up with a flushed face. Wang Jiwei, on the other hand, didn't sleep in. With bright black eyes, he looked at Xiaowei and Chen Hui with murderous intent.

Wang Jiwei stayed in the middle courtyard, while Qin Xuemei got up and went to the backyard. The two didn't see each other all morning, and it was unclear whether they did it on purpose.

At noon, Old Chen and Aunt Chen both returned.

Xiao Wei told Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen about Qin Xuemei and Wang Jiwei's affair that morning.

Xiao Liu also prepared a rather sumptuous meal, and everyone went to the back restaurant for lunch.

"Xiao Wang, sit next to Xue Mei," Aunt Chen said, pointing to Qin Xue Mei's side.

Wang Jiwei blushed, but still sat down. Qin Xuemei, blushing, kept her head down and dared not look up.

Aunt Chen smiled as she looked at Qin Xuemei's shy expression and said, "Today, your Uncle Chen and I came back for lunch to act as matchmakers for you two. You are both good children, and you both have past experiences. It's lucky that you met each other. It's all fate."

The hardships I endured in the past were all to teach you the difficulties of life, the difficulties of living together as a couple. It was an experience that taught you things, but it was just an experience. Life is long.

So, the past is past, and the future hasn't arrived yet. Today, let's happily and joyfully prepare ourselves to welcome a bright future together. We live our lives, and whether they are good or bad, bitter or sweet, is in our own hands.

"Your auntie has been through this before, and this is the first time she's properly acted as a matchmaker. She doesn't know what to say, but she just hopes that you two can work together, support each other, care for one another, and build a good life together."

Chen Hui led the applause, and Xiao Xiao Hui clapped the most enthusiastically.

Uncle Chen said, "Xuemei, this child is so gentle. She's had a tough time in the past, and it breaks my heart to see her like that. As for Xiao Wang, I only found out about him today, and he hasn't had it easy either. They're both good kids. I'm happy that you two are together today, and I hope you'll have an even better future together."

Wang Jiwei stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

Qin Xuehong's face was practically bleeding; she wished she could hide her head under the table.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Xuemei, why are you unhappy?"

Qin Xuemei shook her head. Old Chen said, "Then why are you looking down? Aren't you coming over and pour me and your aunt a drink?"

Qin Xuemei stood up with her head down and went to pour wine, knocking over the chair in the process. Her hand holding the bottle was shaking, and the more she tried not to make a mistake, the less she could control it. Chen Hui, Chen Xiao, and Xiao Wei watched the commotion with smiles. Wang Jiwei got up, took the wine bottle, and filled Old Chen and Aunt Chen's glasses.

Old Chen nodded, picked up his glass and said, "Come on, let's clink glasses together. It's been a long time since I've been this happy."

Little Hui patted the table with both of his little hands: "I want it too! I want it too!"

Xiao Wei poured him some drinks, and Xiao Xiao Hui raised his glass: "Cheers!"

Everyone clinked glasses and took a sip. Wang Jiwei downed his drink in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and bowed to Old Chen and Aunt Chen: "Thank you. I'm not very good at talking."

Wang Jiwei glanced at Qin Xuemei and said, "No, I... I'm heartbroken. I... I don't know how to say it. It's like a dream. Actually, I feel like I'm not good enough for her, but..."

Chen Hui reached out and pulled him to sit down in a chair: "But what? It's alright. Let's drink, eat, and talk to Sister Xuemei when you're done."

Wang Jiwei stopped talking, poured himself a drink, raised it to toast everyone, and then downed it in one gulp.

Qin Xuemei glanced at him and said, "Drink slowly."

Wang Jiwei nodded: "Okay, drink slowly, I'll listen to you."

Everyone laughed; it was clear that Wang Jiwei was completely out of it at that moment.

After eating, Old Chen and Aunt Chen rushed back to work. It's really not easy for them to find the time to make a special trip back.

Xiao Wei, Chen Hui, and Chen Xiao, holding Xiao Xiao Hui, also moved aside, leaving the two blushing and flustered people alone.

"You have a daughter? How old is she?"

Women seem to be much calmer than men in these kinds of situations; Qin Xuemei had already recovered.

Wang Jiwei nodded: "Yes, I'm three years old. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I..."

Qin Xuemei said, "I didn't say you were hiding it from me. I want to see if there are any photos?"

Wang Jiwei said, "Yes, I have photos." He rummaged around on his body and took out his wallet from his pocket, handing it to Qin Xuemei.
