89: Chapter 89: Diehard Friends!

Go on a Blind Date!

Fury to the skies!

Wu Jianguo stared at Wu Jie with eyes nearly bulging out.

Liao Lan didn’t try to break up the fight but instead stared intently at Wu Jie.

Five million!

That was no small sum.

Wu Jie had previously spoken of making a bonus from a project and had transferred a hundred thousand to his parents, which had already shocked them.

But now…

“Speak up!

What the hell have you done wrong, boy?

Where the hell did this five million come from?”

The hot-tempered Wu Jianguo glowered, his eyebrows knit, and the bottle in his hand seemed like it could be thrown at any moment.

“Is it from the Tang Family?

Giving you so much money, aren’t they just trying to get you to marry into their family?”

Liao Lan shouted loudly.

Wu Jie stood up and said with a smile:

“I drove back from Tianyuan, crossing several provinces and cities.

If I were up to no good and had committed a crime, I’d have been caught long ago!”

“As for the Tang Family…

we aren’t even married yet, how could they possibly give me a large sum of money?”

“You two just relax, the money is what I’ve earned.

Alright, I’ve been driving all night, I’m going to catch up on some sleep!”

Wu Jie turned and walked away.

“You!!”

Wu Jianguo raised the bottle, but ultimately did not throw it.

Liao Lan had wanted to ask more, but swallowed her words at the last moment.

Sitting back down and looking at the text message, the elderly couple couldn’t believe it.

“No way!

When he wakes up, I have to get to the bottom of this!”

“He’s just a junior engineer, how could he possibly make so much money?

Stock trading?

He doesn’t have the capital for that!”

The afternoon came.

The old couple fiddled with the various home appliances Wu Jie had bought, following the instruction manuals.

Drum washing machine, inverter air conditioner, smart TV…

The more they used them, the more advanced they seemed.

At around three o’clock.

Before Wu Jie woke up, Zhang Hao arrived first.

Riding a motorcycle into the courtyard, Zhang Hao’s eyes were immediately drawn to the Jeep.

“Yo!

Jie, nice car you got there!”

“Xiao Hao, come here!” Wu Jianguo beckoned with his hand, and once Zhang Hao came close, he swung a slap at him.

“Ouch…

Uncle, why are you hitting me?”

Zhang Hao quickly dodged.

“Did you tell Jie about Zhu Cui’s situation?”

Wu Jianguo’s face was grim.

“That…

Jie would’ve found out sooner or later!

What, does he really not want to go?”

Zhang Hao asked, his eyes shining.

“Look at you, are you interested in Zhu Cui?” Wu Jianguo asked jokingly in return.

Zhang Hao pulled over a stool and lit a cigarette.

“Uncle, I’ve seen Zhu Cui, she’s really not bad-looking, to say I’m not interested would be a lie.

But my parents and I think, we should wait for Jie to go on the blind date first.

If he doesn’t succeed, then it’s our turn to step in.

By the way, where is Jie?”

Wu Jianguo gestured towards the upper floor with his mouth: “Catching up on sleep!”

Zhang Hao made an ‘oh’ sound and leaned in closer.

“Uncle, I think Jie definitely won’t fancy Zhu Cui.

Even if you force him, he’ll just go through the motions.

If I take a liking to her, I’ll be careful walking, not to mention not drinking or driving, before getting married.

I see no chance for accidents.”

Liao Lan walked out from the living room, her face cold:

“Get out of here!

What are you thinking, boy?

Zhu Cui is the bride-to-be I have chosen.

Are you thinking of stealing her?”

Zhang Hao chuckled: “But Jie doesn’t like her, right?

If you push him, it’ll backfire.

It’d be better to let me take over.

I’m totally willing!”

Pfft!

Wu Jianguo almost choked on his cigarette.

He rushed upstairs in a blur of motion, and it wasn’t long until Zhang Hao was knocking on Wu Jie’s door loudly.

“What’s with the knocking?

Are you trying to rush me to my grave?”

Wu Jie grumbled as he got out of bed, bleary-eyed, opened the door, and then lay down again, stiff as a board.

Zhang Hao entered the room, about to speak, but his eyes lit up.

“Oh my God!”

“Is…

is that real gold bars?”

Zhang Hao picked up the gold bar from the table, weighed it, and immediately exclaimed with surprise:

“Damn!

It’s kind of heavy!”

Wu Jie, lying on the bed, grumbled with a muffled voice:

“If you like it, take it!

When you get married, I won’t give a gift!”

“Crap!

That’s definitely fake!”

Zhang Hao put down the gold bar and pulled over a chair to sit down.

Wu Jie’s desk had been used for over ten years, and its surface was polished to a shine.

Besides a few worn-out books and a desk lamp, what caught Zhang Hao’s attention were the car keys and the vehicle registration.

He picked up the blue book, opened it, and couldn’t help but laugh after a quick glance.

“Tsk, tsk, my brother is awesome!

That car in the yard, it’s actually yours.

Uncle thought it was a company car from your corporation!”

Wu Jie let out a long sigh and rolled over to get up.

With an outstretched right hand, Zhang Hao quickly lit a cigarette and passed it over.

“Haizhu, I’ve struck it rich!”

His eyes narrowed slightly, his tone deep.

Zhang Hao nodded repeatedly, laughing playfully:

“So if you’re rich, what’s there to be gloomy about?”

“It’s the matchmaking!

They’re forcing me to have a blind date with Zhu Cui, you tell me…

wait, hold on, let’s go!

Let’s head to Dongfeng Village right now!”

Wu Jie got up and headed out, with Zhang Hao immediately grabbing his stuff and following.

As soon as they descended the stairs, Wu Jianguo was blocking the door, asking:

“Where are you two off to?

You little rascal, you still haven’t cleared things up with me!”

“I’m going to have a blind date with Haizhu, I’ll explain everything when I get back!”

The two men quickly exited, hopped in the car, and drove off.

Vroom!

Zhang Hao floored the accelerator, and the Jeep leaped forward like a crazed giant beast.

“Slow down!”

Liao Lan yelled anxiously.

Wu Jianguo furrowed his brows, stroking his chin and muttering to himself:

“Strange, why is he suddenly willing to go?”

The Jeep burst out of the yard and effortlessly climbed the steep slope.

With its powerful engine and nimble handling.

Racing along the mountain roads, Zhang Hao shouted with excitement.

After entering Dongfeng Village, Zhang Hao slowed down instead.

“Bro, I feel something isn’t right!”

“By tradition, parents don’t have to be present during matchmaking, but there should at least be a matchmaker, right?”

“Just barging in like this, is it proper?”

Wu Jie flicked away the cigarette butt and sneered: “What’s inappropriate about it?

We’ll just have a quick look from a distance and that’s it.”

“Oh!

Now I get it, you’re just here to go through the motions!”

Zhang Hao turned onto a branching path, explaining as they moved along.

“Zhu Cui’s parents are both on their second marriage, her original surname was Shi, and after her mother married into this family, her surname was changed to Zhu!”

“She’s the eldest at home, the second, Zhu Cheng, is a troublemaker, often fighting with others in town.

He ended up stabbing someone and was jailed; not sure if he’s been released yet.”

“This family greatly favors boys over girls; the third child, Zhu Zhiang, was born after her parents married, and his grades are good, should be able to get into a top university.”

“See that?

Her house is that two-story red brick building at the foot of the mountain.

Zhu Cui dropped out of school and has been doing household chores all year round!”

The Jeep proceeded slowly, finally near the small courtyard off the road.

A fair number of villagers were looking on, and the courtyard itself was bustling.

A fat man with a big face and chubby cheeks, wearing a thick gold chain and arrogantly crossing his legs while smoking and smirking.

Behind him stood several young thugs, all barely holding back their laughter.

On the table next to him, there were two stacks of red banknotes.

Not far away, two imposing vehicles were parked: a Range Rover Sport and a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado off-road vehicle.

In this set up, it looked less like they were here to propose marriage, and more like they were here to buy someone!

Inside the main hall, an argument was taking place.

“I’d rather die than let you sell me off!”

“What do you mean ‘sell’?

We’re getting you married!”

“Just because there’s a bride price, I should marry?

Are you even human?

Am I still your own daughter?”

“We raised you up till now, isn’t it so you can repay us?

If you don’t want to marry, then why don’t you come up with two hundred thousand yuan?!”

…
