Chapter 854: Chapter 855: 1960s Quadrangle 103

The people around were also stunned by these two pieces of news, first being that Ren Jiahao actually said he liked Zhang Yu.

Many were unhappy about it. Who didn’t know they were very satisfied with Ren Jiahao, yet unexpectedly, he liked Zhang Yu.

They admitted that, no matter from which perspective, they really suited each other well, but they still felt it wasn’t quite right.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu also burst out with even more explosive news, which was that she actually had a boyfriend.

How could everyone not be shocked, "Zhang Yu, you actually have a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, didn’t you say you didn’t have a boyfriend last night?" Someone had heard Director Wang’s inquiry.

"Yeah, when Director Wang asked you, you didn’t have a boyfriend." Some people were very pleased with Zhang Yu, thinking how great it would be if their son could marry her.

Zhang Yu was not the least bit embarrassed about being caught out,"Yeah, I didn’t have a boyfriend at that time, but now, I do."

"I’m quite satisfied with the match Director Wang introduced." Mhm, it’s certain that right now, she is like a piece of Tang Monk’s flesh, with no idea how many are eyeing her, wanting to take advantage of her.

So after thinking it over, the younger brother proposed is still the better choice, as for whether he would agree on his end, she’s really not worried.

"So please, everyone, spare me from nominating yourselves, and stop trying to set me up with a boyfriend."

"Thank you all."

"And, Engineer Ren, I also hope you can find a daughter-in-law you like, and one who your whole family likes."

"I think with your qualifications, it should be easy for you." After wishing him well, Zhang Yu closed the door directly.

Hmph, considering Mother Ren’s temperament, as well as the character of Ren Jiahao’s brother and sister, finding a daughter-in-law that meets their criteria would indeed be difficult.

And he’s already an engineer, a talent, so why hasn’t he been allocated housing? Zhang Yu finds it very strange.

You should know that Ren Jiahao is an engineer, so even if housing is tight at the unit, they would still squeeze out a set for him, but somehow, he doesn’t have one.

The Ren family’s house isn’t over-standardized, either; a five-person family living in two rooms, Zhang Yu really doesn’t understand.

But it has nothing to do with us; they should seek out other people. After all, with such good conditions as Ren Jiahao has, there’s no worry that no girls will fancy him.

Mother Ren is still at home thinking about what to do. After all, Zhang Yu’s income is not low, and renting out their house here first could bring in some rent money.

And the pension for Zhang Hao and his wife also needs to be handed over for her to manage. After all, the little girl doesn’t understand, spending money lavishly, this won’t do, she’s not someone who knows how to live life.

Ren Jiahao’s brother and sister knew why their elder brother had gone out, and they were thinking about where they would live once they moved to their new home. They had indeed visited the new house and it was really nice.

"Mom, I want to buy new clothes." Sister Ren had long envied Zhang Li’s new clothes and now she too could have new ones.

Brother Ren also made a request, "Mom, I want a separate room for myself, and I, too, want new clothes."

Mother Ren, of course, had no objections, "Alright, I’ll buy you new clothes when the time comes."

"Okay." Sister Ren and Brother Ren were both pondering what new clothes they should buy.

Ren Jiahao returned home dispirited, and Mother Ren looked at him expectantly, "How did it go, did that girl agree?"

"Right, I just remembered, when Zhang Hao and his wife passed away, there was a pension, and their savings, too. Remember to tell her to hand them over for me to manage."

Mother Ren never considered there might be another possibility; Brother Ren and Sister Ren were nodding continuously at the side.

Ren Jiahao looked at them, "She already has a boyfriend."

"And she doesn’t know me at all." Ren Jiahao felt utterly dejected.

What? Mother Ren gasped, "How, how could she have a boyfriend?"

"When did they start dating? I, I have no idea." Mother Ren’s face darkened.

The expressions of Sister Ren and Brother Ren also turned sour, for their scheming had all been based on the premise that Zhang Yu would agree to marry Ren Jiahao. If she would not be with Ren Jiahao, all their plans were ruined.

"The match introduced by Director Wang today, she’s quite pleased with him too." Ren Jiahao didn’t know when he had come back, but he was clearly in a bad state.

He could imagine how people around would gossip about him, "She said she wouldn’t choose me."

"She said she’s unworthy of climbing up to me, and also she said that when you first proposed the marriage, her family had already objected. Even if she didn’t have a boyfriend, she would not aspire to marry into our family."

Ren Jiahao may seem brainless on some matters, simply following whatever his parents say, but after all, someone capable of getting into college and obtaining an engineer’s qualification couldn’t be stupid.

"Mom, I just feel like she must be aware of our family’s schemes."

Ren Jiahao recalled the words Zhang Yu whispered into his ear. At first, he wondered if he was scaring himself, as Zhang Yu didn’t seem to speak at all.

But after thinking it through, he was absolutely sure that Zhang Yu had indeed whispered something in his ear.

"She said not to scheme against her family, she would never agree to it."

"She told our family to give up this idea." Ren Jiahao sighed, "Mom, let it be."

"You know the recent situation with the steel rolling mill, it’s really significant." Although they are not in the same factory, with such a big commotion, the other factories couldn’t possibly have no reaction.

Even if their own factory leaders didn’t react, the higher-ups would have a say. It can be said that this is currently the centre of the work focus.

"She effortlessly crushed Sha Zhu, if we really married her, given her nature, would she agree to hand over money?"

Ren Jiahao knIew the outcome, "Also, Zhang Li is not someone to be trifled with."

Ren Jiahao remembered the gossip about the Zhang Sisters in the alley that couldn’t go unmentioned, and he truly shuddered.

"If he won’t give face to his own neighbors, how could he give us face?"

"And you also said, someone had spread rumors about her. She made the person go for re-education, Mom, you wouldn’t want that, right?"

Even though he was an engineer, if his own mother had to go for re-education because of spreading rumors, just imagining how the factory leaders would react was terrifying, and any hopes for advancement in the coming years would be dashed.

Mother Ren, who had been cursing and swearing, thinking about how to cause trouble for Zhang Yu, insisted that she must either not marry or marry Ren Jiahao, and would not accept any other option.

But seeing Ren Jiahao’s serious expression, she was chastened, "Alright, I know, I won’t trouble her."

"Really," Mother Ren was infuriated, "to think that you must marry her."

"Son, don’t worry, I will definitely find you a girl better than Zhang Yu."

Ren Jiahao was very skeptical of Mother Ren’s words, if there were such candidates, would it still be his turn?
