Chapter 374 - 344: Extra Story 3
Jiang Ziyue was taken aback by the question... Girlfriend?
Suddenly... a cute little face full of smiles flashed through his mind.
Jiang Ziyue’s face was tinged with a hint of blush, accompanied by a shy smile.
"Oh..." Wang Miaomiao saw her son’s expression and felt overjoyed inside; there was definitely something going on, a budding romance...
"Son, Xiao Yeye, who? Who is it?"
Jiang Ziyue was jolted awake by Wang Miaomiao’s loud voice, waving his hands and shaking his head, "No, no..."
He couldn’t understand why he thought of her... They had only known each other for two months.
"Son, don’t be shy, I’m your mom, there’s nothing you can’t tell me, come on... quickly tell mom, just now... who did you think of?" Wang Miaomiao coaxed him, looking at him expectantly.
Jiang Ziyue felt a bit embarrassed, stammering uncomfortably, "It’s just, just a new assistant assigned to me by the company, she’s... quite cute, adorable. Ahem ahem..." He feigned a few coughs after speaking.
"Cute little assistant?" Wang Miaomiao looked excited, already fantasizing about various dramatic romance plots in her mind, eagerly asking, "How long have you known each other, bring her home for mom to see."
"Mom, there’s nothing going on, I just think she’s quite cute." Jiang Ziyue was a bit helpless seeing his mother’s reaction.
"Humph, who would believe that, even if there’s nothing now, you should start working towards something." Wang Miaomiao crossed her arms and looked at him quite seriously.
"Why?" Jiang Ziyue was baffled.
"Because..." Wang Miaomiao replied decisively, "The reason I called you all back this time is for your marriage matters."
"Ah?" Jiang Zixuan just arrived at the living room door when she heard this sentence.
"Xuanxuan, you’re back, come over and sit." Wang Miaomiao saw her return and quickly waved her over, smiling warmly like a loving mother.
"Mom, are you planning to play matchmaker now?" Jiang Zixuan greeted everyone as she entered the home, "Dad, third brother."
"Hmm, you came back quite early today." Jiang Yan saw his daughter and a bigger smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Zixuan sat down beside Jiang Yan, "You personally called me, so how could I not come back early to accompany you."
It’s said that daughters are their father’s little angels, which is so true; Jiang Zixuan could easily cheer up Jiang Yan with just a few words. As for the sons, the treatment was vastly different; most of the time, they got chided, like just now, Jiang Ziyue was despised by Jiang Yan simply for being close to Wang Miaomiao.
Wang Miaomiao asked her little daughter the same question, but Jiang Zixuan was dismissive, "Tch, why do I need a man? New-age women strive for independence, men... are just burdens, I don’t want one."
Oh dear, Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan exchanged glances, a sense of alarm rising.
"Girl, your mindset is quite dangerous, have you... been hurt by someone?" Wang Miaomiao asked cautiously.
"Mom, you’re overthinking." Jiang Zixuan’s face was full of incredulity, clearly finding Wang Miaomiao’s speculation peculiar.
"Then why would you think like that?"
"Is my thinking wrong?"
Wang Miaomiao was rendered speechless by her rebuttal; many things aren’t about right or wrong but different understandings and perspectives resulting in different beliefs.
"Right or wrong, that’s beside the point. Just look at me and your dad, how about us?" Wang Miaomiao felt that relying on evidence and reason was more straightforward.
"You and dad? Great, enviable and impressive..." Jiang Zixuan instantly understood her mom’s meaning, but... "But, couples like you are rare gems, hardly a few in the world."
"We should look at the majority, look at your aunt and uncle, they seem disconnected, just watching them is tiring..."
"Then why don’t you look at your other aunt and uncle..."
Mother and daughter began a debate, each trying to persuade the other to accept their viewpoint.
The argument lasted an entire hour, with neither convincing the other; meanwhile, Jiang Zihan and Jiang Zihui also arrived home.
"Okay, let’s pause this topic, the children are all back, let’s have dinner first." Throughout the confrontation between mother and daughter, Jiang Yan remained silent, subtly minimizing his presence to avoid getting caught in crossfire, knowing well not to argue with women; it was clearly a battleground, whoever enters gets hurt.
"Husband, look at your daughter, I can’t manage, after dinner, it’s your turn..." Wang Miaomiao accepted the juice passed by Jiang Yan, drinking several mouthfuls to calm her mood.
Jiang Yan looked troubled, realizing he couldn’t escape after all.
Nevertheless, dinner needed to come first, "Alright, alright, I’m on it, let’s eat dinner first."
He agreed wholeheartedly, already calculating internally... namely, just not bothering.
The family gathered together and enjoyed a happy reunion dinner.
Then, they returned to the living room, and officially... the marriage pressure began!
Indeed, it was marriage pressure; Wang Miaomiao’s exact words were, "I’ll give you each a year to sort your life’s major issues."
Jiang Zihan’s expression turned grim, marriage? Who to look for? Bewildered...
Jiang Zihui’s demeanor was relaxed and natural, seemingly not opposed to the suggestion, rather indifferent, "I don’t have a suitable partner, otherwise, mom, introduce me to someone? I trust your judgment."
He only cared about his career; as for marriage... if his mom wanted a daughter-in-law and grandchildren, he could marry anytime for his parents.
"Ah... yeah, I don’t have a suitable partner either, mom, who do you have in mind, arrange a blind date?" Jiang Zihan quickly followed suit upon hearing his brother’s words; finding someone to date and fall in love with was cumbersome, but having mom arrange it was different; he also trusted his mom’s taste.
"Uh..." Wang Miaomiao was speechless; what did these two think romance and marriage were? But with their emotional intelligence, expecting them to find someone themselves was indeed challenging.
Thus, "Alright, I’ll arrange it." Wang Miaomiao decided to organize a matchmaking event for them; huh, she refused to believe that with her sons’ looks and charisma, they wouldn’t find satisfactory wives.
Since Jiang Zihan and Jiang Zihui made their statements, Wang Miaomiao promptly began taking action.
Consequently, Jiang Zihan and Jiang Zihui embarked on their blind date journeys, initially thinking they could easily find partners and smoothly get married. Who knew finding a girl they actually liked would be so difficult...
It’s simply said that without encountering true love, all women seem the same.
Jiang Zihui considered randomly marrying a woman, but Wang Miaomiao disagreed.
Although she wanted her sons married, she didn’t want them to miss out on love; sigh... she was conflicted too...
It’s said that children have their own fortunes, maybe she shouldn’t worry so much.
Fate had its own plans.
