"I'm sorry, I really don't have time to go. As for Qi Zhan and the others, you can make an appointment yourself.”Ruan Zhi had never wavered from her decision.
Zhong Xin was silent for a long time, then a sneer sounded,""You're saying it as if you're so noble. You're the one who can't get an appointment, right? Forget it if you don't want to come.”
"…Whatever you think." Ruan Zhi couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on her and quickly hung up.
After hanging up on Zhong Xin's call, the phone rang again. Ruan Zhilue picked it up again, feeling a little tired. Her heart tightened.
It was a call from his mother.
Ever since she passed the age of twenty-four, her mother would rarely call her. Whenever she called, no matter what the reason was, she would always have a reason to change the topic to the topic of marriage.
As expected, there were no accidents this time.
After a few casual greetings, her mother once again talked about her relationship problems.
"Ah Zhi, you're almost 26 years old. If you don't talk about a partner, you'll become a leftover woman.”His mother tried to persuade him.
Ruan Zhi took a deep breath and stretched the phone's speaker forward. After confirming that her mother had nagged for a while, she leaned back into her ear and said softly,""This matter isn't something that I can talk about immediately. It's useless no matter how anxious I am.”
His mother paused for a moment before saying,"So you mean we can try new contact?"”
Hearing this, Ruan Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she didn't expect her mother to have such a trick up her sleeve. As expected, when she saw that Ruan Zhi had nothing to say, her mother immediately continued,"Recently, your aunt has a friend's son who works in Qing Ning. He's about the same age as you. He's in the real estate industry and is also a manager. He has a house in Qing Ning City. Your aunt said that he's not bad looking.”
" Mom, don't keep giving me…" Ruan Zhixin felt helpless. Before she could finish her sentence, her mother started crying on the other end of the phone." Aiyo, Ah Zhi, I'm old now. I don't have much hope. I just want to have a grandchild as soon as possible. You're the only daughter in the family, and you're getting old. If we get older in the future, we won't be able to help you find a partner. What should we do…"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go see him." Ruan Zhi compromised and rubbed her forehead, speechless.
Only then did his mother calm down. Her face instantly changed into a smile."Ah, okay, okay. I'll send you his contact information on WeChat right away. He should call you later.”
"What's his name?"
"What's his name again? I forgot. Later, you can add him on WeChat and ask him yourself.”His mother thought for a few seconds and gave her an answer.
Ruan Zhi suddenly felt tired. Her mother was probably in a " it's good enough that someone wants her " state right now. She actually threw her to her without even remembering her name.
Not long after she hung up, Ruan Zhi received a message from her mother on WeChat.
She opened the friend list and entered the other party's WeChat number one by one.
Soon, the person on the other end of the line greeted her. After chatting for a while, Ruan Zhi made up an excuse that she had something to do and did not continue the conversation.
Ever since the other party found out about her job, he had looked down on her and expressed that he hoped that she would be a 'virtuous' housewife after marriage.
She had no intention of continuing to communicate with him.
However, the other party insisted on meeting her. For the sake of her mother, Ruan Zhi had no choice but to agree. It would be good if they could talk things over in person.
The meeting place was a buffet restaurant.
When Ruan Zhi rushed over, she did not deliberately dress up. She only arrived at the door in her usual attire.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the person finally rushed over. He was about 1.78 meters tall, slightly chubby, had dark skin, and a beer belly. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his face was full of pockmarks.
The words " he's quite good-looking " that her mother had said rang in her mind. Ruan Zhi's lips twitched slightly, indicating that she could not understand the aesthetic standards of the older generation.
"You must be Ruan Zhi? I'm Liu Peng." The man came in front of her and sized her up without hiding his gaze. Then, he frowned slightly and said unhappily,"Why aren't you wearing a dress? Girls look good in dresses. It's okay. I can forgive you for your first meeting. The next time we meet, you'd better change into a dress.”
Sorry, there won't be a next time.
When Ruan Zhi heard his words, she had already given the answer in her heart. She silently rolled her eyes and followed him into the buffet restaurant.
Not long after he sat down, Liu Peng began to talk about his future plans. Basically, he was talking about straight men's cancer, such as letting her stay at home to take care of the children, not wearing makeup to go out to play, and doing whatever his family said.
Ruan Zhi couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and look at him seriously.""Mr. Liu, I don't think I agreed to be in a long-term relationship with you, right?”
"What is it? What do you mean?" Liu Peng seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world." Do you still want to pick on someone with my conditions? If it wasn't for the fact that you looked like you could be brought out, I wouldn't even look at you. Do you still want to consider it?”
"Do you have some misunderstanding about yourself?" Ruan Zhi sneered.”
"Misunderstanding? Ruan Zhi, don't you know that you women are only in your twenties? We men are already in our thirties or forties, and there are still many young girls rushing over. You still have the cheek to pick me? It's already your blessing that I've taken a fancy to you, understand?”Liu Peng looked at her arrogantly.
Ruan Zhi was so disgusted by his words that she almost vomited her dinner. She rolled her eyes and said," Then you'd better go find those young girls who keep coming after you. I think I'm fine being single."”
"You're already twenty-six, and you're still single? Looking at your personality, I'm sure no man has ever pursued you, right?”Liu Peng was flustered and exasperated. He blurted out a burst of sarcasm.
Ruan Zhi sneered and picked up her bag." It's really none of your business whether I'm being pursued or not. Mr. Liu, I'm leaving first."”
She was about to leave when Liu Peng grabbed her wrist and refused to let her go.
The moment the man touched her skin, Ruan Zhi felt goosebumps all over her arm. She quickly struggled and warned him sternly,""What are you doing? Let go!"
"Sit down first." Liu Peng tightened his grip.
Ruan Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable. Ever since that incident a few years ago, she would subconsciously feel disgusted and uncomfortable when strangers touched her. Her other hand struggled to pry his hand away from her wrist, and her eyes turned red." Let go of me, do you hear me?"”
Liu Peng was not moved at all. Instead, he smiled proudly.
Just as he was about to say something, he felt a figure land beside him. In the next second, his finger was pulled away from Ruan Zhi's wrist. That person pushed him back without any hesitation. His gaze was sharp as he coldly reprimanded,"She already asked you to let go. Don't you understand human language?”
