Chapter 2090: Chapter 2109: Matchmaking
"Compared to you, he’s really ugly." Shen Zian, being an honest person, spoke his mind directly.
Su Hai’s lips twitched upward, giving her a look that said, "You have good taste."
"Let me tell you, not only is he ugly, but he’s also mean." Her expression was deadpan serious.
Shen Zian nodded seriously, "You’re right, not only is he ugly and mean, but he’s also an absolute jerk."
The two of them whispered for quite a while, keeping their voices low, but everyone was sitting close! Xie Yibin heard everything, feeling so angry he couldn’t eat a bite. If it were back in the day, he would have given Su Hai a piece of his mind, but unfortunately now, even though he knew Su Hai was insulting him right to his face, he couldn’t do anything about it.
He could only stew in secret resentment.
"What are you two whispering about? Became friends just like that?" Shen Feihu teased, "The dumplings are all gone."
Su Hai, teased as he was, didn’t mind, maintaining a look of calm indifference.
Shen Zian merely cast a cold glance at Shen Feihu, leaving Shen Feihu puzzled, rubbing his head as that familiar feeling of strangeness crept up again.
The meal was quickly finished, and once it was over, Zhao Honglian busied herself with cleaning the dishes. Shen Weixing and Xue Hongxing offered to help but were turned down. Shen Zian was about to help with washing the dishes when Xue Hongxing suddenly called out to her.
"Little An."
"Huh?" Shen Zian turned back, puzzled, and looked at Xue Hongxing, "Uncle Xue, you called me?"
Xue Hongxing smiled kindly at Shen Zian, "I heard from your third uncle that you don’t have a partner yet and wanted to ask what type you like? If I meet someone suitable, I’ll introduce them to you."
After observing these past two days, Xue Hongxing realized that his old comrade’s niece wasn’t as bad as rumored. On the contrary, the young girl was bold but not recklessly impulsive or ignorant.
Whether her two comments about Xie Yibin today were because she genuinely disliked him or she was following the lead after observing everyone’s attitude towards him, she wasn’t foolish. She was smart and quite sensible.
Xue Hongxing admired her cleverness and beauty.
The Xue family had many siblings, and he had seen many young people, but even then, Shen An was not necessarily outsmarted. Even his own daughter was smart and generous, with good grades, just a bit spoiled and never helping with chores at home.
With this in mind, Xue Hongxing was more than willing to help.
Su Hai was casually fiddling with the Montblanc fountain pen he always carried. The pen, exquisite and beautiful, spun around his slender fingers, its golden cap glinting under the light. When he heard Xue Hongxing’s words, his fingers suddenly paused, and just then, the reflected light from the golden cap landed on the deep contours of his brows and eyes.
In that instant, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, carrying an aura like an army of a thousand horses charging forward.
Shen Zian sensed it, a chill she had never felt before. She turned her head to look, only to see Su Hai with his eyes slightly lowered and the exquisite fountain pen in his hand. When she saw the pen, she muttered to herself, capitalist.
It’s actually a Montblanc, an imported brand that’s hard to get even with a ration stamp. Even the leaders only used Hero pens. If she hadn’t luckily acquired one off the battlefield, she wouldn’t have recognized it.
"Thank you, Uncle Xue." Shen Zian withdrew her gaze from Su Hai and replied seriously to Xue Hongxing, "I still don’t have a partner, and indeed, my family is quite anxious."
