Chapter 636: Chapter 619 Matchmaking (2)

The speed of Wang Shi was quite fast; from informing Jiang Yuanjiu about the matter to arranging a meeting for the two, it only took a day.

Yu Meitong initially held a try-and-see attitude, but upon meeting Jiang Yuanjiu, she discovered they had common interests. Both liked reading and exercising, and Jiang Yuanjiu also enjoyed making desserts. Coincidentally, Yu Meitong was currently taking a cooking class, and making desserts and cooking was essentially the same.

After dinner, the two went to see a movie, but since it was quite late, they went home afterward. At home, she thought about calling Lu Jiaxin but gave up after seeing it was eleven o’clock. Lu Jiaxin was into health and usually went to bed before ten. According to Zong Shimeng, her schedule could even compare with her mother-in-law’s.

Early the next morning, Yu Meitong called Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, thank you!"

Upon hearing that, Lu Jiaxin knew she was quite satisfied and reminded her, "Although everything seems fine, you can’t judge a book by its cover. You should observe and see if he’s really suitable for you."

Some people are good at disguising themselves; like domestic abusers who are gentle and refined outside but turn violent at home. So, in a relationship, you can’t let emotions cloud your judgment; you need to see if the person is genuinely gentle or just pretending.

Yu Meitong knew Lu Jiaxin was concerned about her: "Don’t worry, six years ago I thought liking someone was enough. Now, everything must satisfy me before I consider marriage."

Dating doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy, but marriage is different. After experiencing loss once, she planned to be cautious this time, ensuring his consistency and commitment to reach the end.

With that assurance, Lu Jiaxin felt relieved.

Also, that noon, Nie Zhan called Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, Mokrich will attend our engagement banquet next month."

He had already introduced Su Heyuan to Mokrich, and now they were negotiating with AZLK. Once the deal is settled, Lu Jiaxin’s second investment will need to be made.

Lu Jiaxin naturally welcomed it: "What does he like? Let’s arrange it in advance."

Nie Zhan didn’t want her to be exhausted: "There will be many things to handle at the engagement, so let Su Heyuan take care of him! When he comes again, we’ll entertain him properly."

Lu Jiaxin recalled what Zong Shimeng said: "Their wedding is scheduled for a week after our engagement banquet, so they might not have time to entertain Mokrich either?"

"Let him arrange it."

"Okay."

Nie Zhan then asked when to visit the Forty-nine City: "I need to make a trip to America next week. Jiaxin, let’s go back to the Mainland tomorrow!"

Traveling to and from America takes a week, and he might get busy with official duties after returning. The longer it takes, the more it seems he doesn’t value the Lu Family.

This time Lu Hongjun almost lost his life, and as the future son-in-law, he should visit. Lu Jiaxin said, "I have a meeting at Xinxin Real Estate tomorrow, so let’s go back the day after! I also need them to clean the room, air out the bedding and all."

"Alright, then the day after it is."

At night, while lying in bed, Nie Zhan held Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, I know you don’t like him. But given his current situation, let’s put the past behind; there’s no need to hold grudges."

He realized that when Lu Jiaxin learned of Lu Hongjun’s life-threatening situation, she felt it deeply despite her tough front. He didn’t intend to resolve their grudges, just believed there was no need to cling to past issues. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, with Jiaxin’s temperament, she’d surely regret it.

Lu Jiaxin replied, "I know what I’m doing."

Nie Zhan then switched topics, sharing gossip about Hu Zhifeng: "That woman wanted to have a baby before going to Australia, but Brother Feng didn’t agree."

Unfortunately, Lu Jiaxin wasn’t interested in this gossip: "Sister Shimeng told me the woman wants to have the baby before going to Australia. I think, once the baby is born, she won’t go to Australia. She’s not foolish; she’s with Hu Zhifeng for the money. If she takes the child to Australia, feelings will fade, and she’d only get a small alimony later."

Nie Zhan laughed and said, "Brother Feng already told the woman, she could either go to Australia this month or abort the child, nothing in between."

That took Lu Jiaxin by surprise: "Why so firm this time?"

Nie Zhan didn’t know the reasons but was pleased to see such a change in Hu Zhifeng: "Whatever the reason, it’s good if he’ll focus his time and energy on the family."

Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly: "The dog won’t change its habit. Without that Tina, there will be Wang Nalina Meina. Nie Zhan, you better not be like him, or else we’ll have to part ways. I won’t share a man with another woman; it’s dirty."

Nie Zhan felt somewhat helpless: "Don’t worry, such a thing won’t happen with me."

Lu Jiaxin thought, if a man’s words were trustworthy, pigs could fly. However, if the stakes were high enough, they could restrain themselves.

The next day at noon, Zong Shimeng called Lu Jiaxin to ask for afternoon tea over the weekend. When she heard that Lu Jiaxin was returning to the Mainland, she regretted, "Meitong said she’s busy on weekends too, and Huihui can’t go shopping now. Alas, I won’t go either."

She knew many ladies but always had to talk in circles with them. The point of having afternoon tea was relaxation, but chatting with them was exhausting.

Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said, "Sister Meitong might not be able to join us for shopping and afternoon tea for a while now." _{fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m}

"What? She’s into someone?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded, "She likes him. Says they’re well-matched in thoughts and hobbies, and they talk endlessly together. As long as Jiang Yuanjiu is genuine, Sister Meitong is likely to marry before me."

It’s rare to find such a good match, and Yu Meitong will surely cherish it.

Thinking about her age, Zong Shimeng laughed, "Didn’t you say you’d consider marriage at twenty-five? If Meitong marries after you, she’ll be in her thirties."

Lu Jiaxin thought, pursuing a career would mean marrying in one’s thirties; otherwise, having kids would take away time and energy.

Zong Shimeng advised, "It’s best for women to marry and have babies before thirty; recovery is quicker. When I had Kai Kai, I was energetic and could get up on my own the same night. But after the fourth, I couldn’t get out of bed until the third day and needed support."

Having gone through it, she realized the older you are, the harder childbirth is and the longer the recovery. She wouldn’t push Meitong, since she also has a career to pursue, but Lu Jiaxin doesn’t have such worries.

Lu Jiaxin knew her advice made sense but wasn’t fond of the topic: "Sister Shimeng, I have it planned; I’ll definitely marry and have a baby before thirty."

Zong Shimeng smiled, "Okay, since you have a plan, I won’t mention it anymore."
