Chapter 448 Helping Jiang Yaozu
Chapter 448 Helping Jiang Yaozu
Jiang Yaozu quickly found a tissue to wipe off the water and replied, "It's okay, it's okay. Who told you that?"
"Xiaoxiao saw it all. You were shopping with a woman and were also preparing to have dinner and watch a movie. It seems like your relationship is not ordinary." Xirou said.
After hearing this, Jiang Yaozu felt as if something had stabbed his heart and felt inexplicably irritated.
But he didn't know why. He took a sip of water and said, "Well, that was a relative of my great aunt's neighbor who introduced me to her."
"Do you have feelings for her?" Xirou asked cautiously.
"Well, I can't really put it into words. I just feel that she has pretty good conditions. She is a teacher at Peking University and her parents are both retired cadres from state-owned units. I am not young anymore and have reached the age to get married. My parents are always urging me to find a wife. I think she is okay, so I want to take a closer look. If she is suitable, I will get married." Jiang Yaozu said.
After hearing this, Xirou fell silent. This condition was indeed better than Xiaoxiao's, but these were external conditions. If a woman had bad character, no matter how good her family conditions were, her brother would not want her.
Besides, given their family's financial situation, if they want to find someone with better conditions, isn't it up to his brother to choose?
"Brother, I think marriage is a lifelong commitment, so we have to be cautious. Family conditions are external. Our family is well-off, so we don't need to consider these. We have to look at a person's character. Being compatible is the most important thing." Xirou said.
"I know, so I've invited her and her parents to our house this Saturday. If you have nothing to do, come home and give me a hand with their opinions," Jiang Yaozu said.
"Okay, I'll go home on Friday night and ask the driver to pick me up." Xirou said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, I found Xiaoxiao and Xiaowei staring at me.
"What are you doing? My brother, that woman, the one Xiaoxiao saw, is coming to my house for dinner. My brother asked me to help sift through her, but they're not officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet!" Xirou said.
After hearing this, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, there is still hope for our Xiaoxiao." Xiaowei comforted.
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "You're talking about his brother, why are you bringing me into this?"
"Why do I involve you? Can't I see your little tricks?" Xiaowei said unhappily.
"Is it so obvious?" Xiaoxiao felt bitter in her heart. The feeling of secret love was really unpleasant.
"I can see it too, but I didn't expose it." Xirou said with a smile.
Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "That was in the past. Now I have put my mind at ease."
Seeing that she was a little flustered, Xirou comforted her and said, "Actually, I really hope you can become my sister-in-law, haha."
"You're making fun of me again. How annoying." Xiaoxiao glared at Xirou.
Xirou smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking. You just think your family conditions are not as good as mine and you are afraid of marrying up. But I think it is not certain who is marrying up. You are going to be a diplomatic translator in the future. No one can compare to this honor. Money and status are all false. Only those who have truly contributed to the country and brought glory to the country are worthy of admiration!"
Xiaoxiao looked at Xirou with bright eyes: "Then tell me, do I still have a chance?"
"Why is there no chance? When I heard what you said about that woman's behavior, I felt that she was not worthy of my brother. My brother is not stupid. If that woman had a bad character, would he want her?" Xirou said affirmatively.
Xiao Xiaoxin felt a little relieved, as what he said seemed to make some sense.
"How about you two come home with me on Friday. We can take a look together then?" Xirou said.
"No, no, that's your family gathering. We are outsiders and it's not appropriate for us to participate." Xiaoxiao and Xiaowei quickly waved their hands to refuse.
"Okay, I'll take a look myself." Xirou said.
The weekend came soon, and Xirou went straight home after class on Friday.
Because there were guests to be received the next day, Hao Mengjiao was busy all day. She asked the servants to clean the whole house and prepared a lot of delicacies to entertain the guests.
When Xirou returned home, she felt her mother's nervousness and joked, "Mom, don't bother. You look so nervous, as if you were getting married yourself."
Hao Mengjiao rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "This is the first time your brother has brought a girl home. How can I not be nervous?"
Although Jiang Yaozu is not her biological son, after all these years of getting along with him, she has long treated him as her own son in her heart.
"Mom, mom, please sit down. This matter hasn't even started yet. Why are you so nervous? Tomorrow the parents of both sides will meet to see if it's a good match. If not, we'll have to keep looking." Xirou said.
"Bah, bah, bah, you have a bad mouth, are you cursing your brother?" Hao Mengjiao said unhappily.
"I'm telling the truth. I've heard it all. My brother and that woman have met three times, and they haven't confirmed their relationship yet. Doesn't he want us to take a look? Mom, our brother is so good, we have to take good care of him. If he has a bad character and conduct, we can't keep him no matter how good his family conditions are." Xirou said seriously.
After hearing this, Hao Mengjiao's nervous heart relaxed. Her daughter was right. It was just a meeting, and it was not certain what would happen. Why was she so nervous?
Thinking of this, she was no longer nervous. After all, she would be a mother-in-law in the future. How could she let her daughter-in-law control her?
The next day, Xirou got up, had breakfast, and seeing that it was still early, she went to the house next door to play with her chubby brother.
Xi Yunzhou can walk now. He is fair, tender, chubby, and has a sweet little mouth. She loves him very much.
As soon as she entered the house, the little guy saw her coming home, and quickly climbed down from the sofa and ran towards Xirou: "Hahaha, sister, sister!"
Xirou saw him rolling towards her like a piece of meat, and hurriedly squatted down to feel the impact of love.
The little guy bumped into her arms like a little meat egg, stretched out his little hands to hold Xirou's face, and then pressed it against his own face.
Xirou was touched by his actions. She picked him up, kissed him several times, and asked with a smile, "Are you good at home?"
"Good boy, Yunzhou is so good. Mommy says it's not good to be too fat. I used to eat two big chicken legs in one meal, but now I can resist and only eat one." The little guy said in a baby voice.
Xirou praised him exaggeratedly, which made the little guy so happy that he jumped around in her arms like a big carp.
If Xirou hadn't held on tightly and dared not let go, the little guy would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing the siblings making a fuss, Chen Qingyun felt warm in his heart and asked, "I heard that your brother's blind date is coming to our house for dinner today?"
"Yes, he seems to be a relative of my grandfather's cousin's neighbor. He teaches at Peking University and his parents are retired cadres from state-owned units." Xirou said.
"Well, that sounds good. People with intellectual talents are generally easy to get along with," said Chen Qingyun.
"It's hard to say. We have to wait and see." Xirou said while playing with the little fat boy.
