"Hello, Auntie, my name is Duan Hong."

"Hello, young man."

The young man named Duan Hong greeted Xu's mother, because he had already greeted Old Xu downstairs.

Wu Junning followed behind him.

The matchmaking event needed to set the tone from the start, so Wu Junning gave the opening remarks.

"Aunt Xu, I heard about your situation from Uncle Xu. Don't worry, the matchmaking agency will take responsibility for any issues that weren't handled properly due to the long distance."

"He does a good job, maybe he's just not a good match for our daughter."

Aunt Xu spoke up and said something fair.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Xiaolu.

Married couples might get divorced, and breaking up is perfectly normal when dating.

"Auntie, this young man is a perfect match for your Xu Zhixiao, and most importantly, he can accept Zhixiao's quirks."

"You can really accept that?" Old Xu looked up in surprise. "You can accept having marital relations but not a conjugal relationship?"

"Yes, Uncle, I can." Duan Hong nodded.

The elderly couple exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

It seems like this might actually work.

Wu Junning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smiles on the elderly couple's faces.

This is the man she found after searching high and low, a perfect match for Xu Zhixiao.

After she heard that Lao Xu had gone to a matchmaker again, she immediately started having some thoughts.

Because I heard the word "breakup" from Lao Xu.

She immediately realized there was a loophole she could exploit.

What if we quickly find Xu Zhixiao a marriage partner at this moment? Wouldn't that make pursuing Lu Yuan much easier?

This is a very real rule of the matchmaking market.

Most people have misconceptions when going on blind dates.

Men on blind dates see women as their rivals, while women on blind dates see men as their rivals.

In fact, blind dates are a competition among people of the same sex; the man's opponent is other men, and the woman's opponent is other women.

Especially when faced with a relatively high-quality opposite-sex resource, the reality and cruelty, like a battlefield, will immediately be laid bare before you.

Wu Junning is a local Nanjing resident who has been deeply involved in the matchmaking industry for many years.

She always advises many girls that after meeting a high-quality man through a blind date, they should try not to post their boyfriend's information on social media before marriage.

Because once you post it, someone will send him a private message within five minutes, even if it's a sweet couple photo.

"Aunt and uncle, are you aware of this?"

Wu Junning knew that at times like these, the sooner the better.

This is the moment when Xu Zhixiao feels most vulnerable, and she must strike quickly.

"She's getting ready; she'll be out soon."

"What is your current attitude towards marriage?"

"I just asked her, and she said the sooner the better."

"That's good."

Wu Junning felt that Xu Zhixiao was probably heartbroken because of the failed confession.

This is the perfect opportunity!

And right at this moment.

After washing up, Xu Zhixiao came out and looked at the stranger in the living room with some confusion. She subconsciously came over to greet him.

She initially thought he was a guest of her parents, until she saw Wu Junning's face.

"Why is Mr. Wu at my house?"

"Your parents invited me over." Wu Junning chuckled and walked over, casually linking her arm with Xu Zhixiao's. "Your parents said you're in a hurry to get married?"

"really."

Xu Zhixiao didn't quite react for a moment, but nodded frankly.

She is indeed eager to get married, that's true.

"Shall you two have a chat?"

Wu Junning pointed to Duan Hong on the sofa.

Duan Hong smiled at her as well.

But Xu Zhixiao looked puzzled: "Why are you setting me up on a blind date?"

"Aren't you in a hurry to get married?" Wu Junning replied.

Mr. Xu's reply was even more furious: "Stop worrying about the distance! I'll beat that brat every time I see him. Even if he begs me to change his mind, I will never allow him to enter our house!"

"Dad, don't say that."

Xu Zhixiao also heard the whole story.

She quickly went to her father's side: "Lu Yuan will be here soon, don't hit him."

"Lu Yuan is coming?" Old Xu's temper flared immediately. Tilting his head, he said angrily, "What's he coming for?"

"It's time to formally meet the parents; we're getting married."

Xu Zhixiao had just finished speaking.

I didn't even have a chance to tell my dad to calm down.

Then I heard a knock on the door.

She went over and opened the door.

Lu Yuan's face flashed past the doorway immediately.

Smiling broadly.

She was also carrying four traditional gifts from Nanjing for "meeting the parents" (a custom where one visits the parents' home).

"I arrived two minutes ago. I heard someone saying they were going to hit me at the door, so I didn't dare knock."

Lu Yuan's feet tentatively probed the threshold.

Left foot goes in and out, in and out again, in and out again...

His gaze went straight past Xu Zhixiao to Old Xu: "I dare not go in, I'm afraid of getting beaten up."

"Oh, come in quickly."

Xu Zhixiao grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.

But we got past the initial hurdle of getting in.

There is a second level.

"My father-in-law didn't seem to like my gift; he wouldn't even accept it."

Lu Yuan held the gift and swayed it in the air.

It dazzles people's eyes, and it dazzles people's hearts.

Wu Junning watched this scene from the side.

She felt that Old Xu was so angry just now that he would never...

"Just these past two days, she said she wanted to drink Six Walnuts, and it has to be my son-in-law."

As people get older, not only do they age, but their skin also becomes thicker.

Old Xu acted as if nothing had happened, walked over and accepted the gift.

Lu Yuan also casually put his arm around Lao Xu's shoulder:

"Uncle, you're not angry with me anymore?"

"Still calling him 'uncle'?"

Although Xu's mother was surprised by what she saw,

But more importantly, he went to Wu Junning and Duan Hong to apologize and say sorry.

Duan Hong didn't seem disappointed at all; instead, he stared intently at Lu Yuan.

Wu Junning's expression darkened; her plan to exploit the void had failed.

As for Xu Zhixiao, she finally had time to reminisce about last night.

...

The bus ride is long, but it doesn't put you under pressure.

However, he missed the Xuanwu Lake stop while talking and had to go back to his seat.

Lu Yuan silently awaited Xu Zhixiao's second wave of pressure.

He wanted to see what else Xu Zhixiao could do.

The next sentence made him laugh.

Please help me.

"Is that all the tricks you have? Don't you have any worse methods?"

"What other tricks do you have? Teach me."

"For example, if I don't help you, you immediately go online and complain that I'm a scumbag; people who want to watch the drama love that."

Xu Zhixiao raised her head and thought seriously.

It's like someone who's desperate is seriously considering the feasibility of something.

Then she said in a low voice, "So what about your job?"

From this specific point to a broader perspective, she thought of many other things: "I didn't think this through. You're very busy and a public figure. Marrying me would affect your future relationships."

"and then?"

"But I still want to beg you, we can try to minimize the impact..."

Xu Zhixiao is analyzing the feasibility of the matter.

They can opt for a simple, informal wedding, inviting only close relatives and prohibiting photography at the event...

She said it seriously.

Lu Yuan listened and laughed from the side, his laughter growing louder and louder.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You are a good person, your whole family are good people."

"How does that make someone a good person?"

"Good people are judged by comparison. Some people destroy what they can't have, while others wave their hands and beg for what they can't have."

Following this line about a good person.

Lu Yuan posed a profoundly philosophical question: "Do you think good people are rewarded?"

"Probably not."

Perhaps before today.

Xu Zhixiao would not have any doubts about this issue.

Because her father taught her this from a young age: "Be a good person, because good and evil will eventually be rewarded."

But Old Xu was a good man, dedicated to healing the sick and saving lives, and lived a life of integrity...

So she began to have some doubts about the concept.

"That's just how the real world is: bad people live well, while good people don't."

Lu Yuan dragged out his words.

If Xu Zhixiao knew him well enough, she would have noticed this drawn-out tone that clearly awaited a transition.

It only means one thing—Lu Yuan is going to show off.

"But here, I am God; I can bring good fortune to good people."

"You're not helping me."

"You didn't phrase your request correctly. I've hinted at it to you many times," Lu Yuan cleared his throat and continued to guide him: "I've already said, you need to mention something related to my work."

"Oh, then could you please help me find someone I can marry quickly?"

"What are your requirements?"

"My parents are satisfied, and we'll get a divorce right after the wedding."

"Place an order."

Lu Yuan pointed to the matchmaking app mini-program on Xu Zhixiao's phone.

The bus happened to stop at the next stop.

He got out of the car like a reclusive master, having accomplished his task.

I got off the bus at the extremely pretentious bus stop sign and waved at the window.

He didn't say a word the entire time.

But as soon as he saw the bus about to leave his sight, Lu Yuan immediately took off running like a wild bull.

His electric scooter is still at the Xuanwu Lake stop.

Xu Zhixiao, who was sitting on the bus, witnessed this scene.

She smiled, and the light shone on her profile, making her smile look like a work of art.

She said to herself, "Thank you, Lu Yuan, as a daughter."
