Chapter 5: My stepmother is 2 years older than me
Jia Dongxu frowned and said,
"Aunt Zhang, Qin Huairu is not feeling well, so let her take care of herself first. You can't just change to the next one before we even meet, right? I'm not in a hurry here, go back and tell her. We can meet again when she's better. Or, give me the address and I'll go see her!"
Jia Dongxu really liked Qin Huairu, but he hadn't even seen her yet, and Matchmaker Zhang took out a stack of photos and asked him to choose another girl. How could he not agree to that?
"Yes, his aunt. I think Huairu is pretty. If we can't meet her this time, then we can meet her next time."
Jia Zhang, who was standing aside, didn't think much of the country girl, but seeing that her son liked her, she had to stand on his side.
"Well... okay, then I'll bring her over when I'm free!"
Seeing that the mother and son were quite satisfied with Qin Huairu, Matchmaker Zhang sighed helplessly.
He couldn't help but glance towards the north room, thinking to himself, I don't know how He Daqing and Qin Huairu are talking at this time. If the mother and son of the Jia family knew that Qin Huairu, whom they had their eyes on, was snatched away by He Daqing, who knows if they would fight in the future.
Forget it, forget it. I’ll just act as a matchmaker. Whether it succeeds or not is a matter of fate between them. What does it have to do with me?
If you want to blame someone, blame it. It’s because you, Jia Dongxu, don’t have this blessing!
Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu wanted to ask Matchmaker Zhang to sit down and have a chat, but Matchmaker Zhang, who had something to hide, dared not stay any longer. She simply said a few perfunctory words, made up an excuse, and left the courtyard.
"Well, all the preparations today were in vain!"
After sending matchmaker Zhang away, Jia Zhang spread her hands and looked at her son helplessly.
"Dongxu, Mom sees that you are interested in that girl?"
She felt that her son was very outstanding. It might be a little difficult to find a girl in the city, but it was not difficult to pick a girl in the village. Even if Qin Huairu was not available, there would be other beautiful girls who would be willing.
"Mom, Qin Huairu looks good in the photo. We have to meet her first!"
Jia Dongxu smiled, and his words and actions could not hide his liking for Qin Huairu.
Seeing her son like this, Jia Zhang didn't know what to say.
At this time, He Daqing had already walked out of Beihai Park holding Qin Huairu's hand.
He Daqing is a seasoned man, and a native of Beijing. He can easily make Qin Huairu obedient just by talking about his experiences over the years.
Worship is the basis of love.
He Daqing knows very well that women are not to be chased, but to be attracted. A capable man is never short of women around him.
In less than an hour, under the emotional pull of He Daqing, Qin Huairu struggled slightly and let He Daqing hold her hand, while in her other hand, there was a string of candied haws that He Daqing bought for her.
"This guy is really knowledgeable. He actually knows so many important people. He is also very considerate to me. If I marry him, I should be very happy, right?"
Qin Huairu was eating candied haws while thinking about all these messy things in her mind. As she thought about it, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her pretty face became more and more red.
An eighteen-year-old girl came to the big city for the first time and was pampered by a man. She must be feeling so sweet.
Before they knew it, the two passed by a clothing store. Without saying a word, He Daqing pulled Qin Huairu in to pick out something.
Afterwards, he took Qin Huairu to a nice restaurant nearby and had a delicious meal.
With beautiful new clothes and delicious meals, Qin Huairu, who came from the countryside, felt as if she was floating in the clouds and was completely conquered.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting dark and Qin Huairu was afraid of missing the bus back to the village, she would have been reluctant to part with He Daqing.
However, before returning to Fengze Garden, He Daqing still took Qin Huairu to a small alley. When no one was around, he hugged Qin Huairu and kissed her hard, making the girl blush and almost unable to breathe.
"you are bullying me!"
Qin Huairu pushed He Daqing away with a blushing face, but did not struggle too much and still let He Daqing hold her.
"This is not bullying, this is my love for you!"
He Daqing kissed Qin Huairu on the face again and said in a very domineering tone,
"Huai Ru, do you believe in fate? I do. I've chosen you. The betrothal gift and all that, no problem. I won't treat you unfairly. If you're willing to be with me, come to Fengze Garden to find me when you're free. I'll be here every day!"
As he said this, he put a dollar into Qin Huairu's pocket.
Qin Huairu, immersed in happiness, nodded repeatedly as she listened.
"I definitely want to get along with you. But I still have to go back and discuss this with my family..."
He Daqing hugged Qin Huairu and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
"Ah."
Qin Huairu nodded heavily, and the two of them stayed together for a while before returning to Fengze Garden.
Seeing the two of them holding hands, Matchmaker Zhang couldn't help but secretly give He Daqing a thumbs up, but it was getting dark soon, so she didn't bother to say anything more and took Qin Huairu with her and got on the car back to the village.
"Chef He, sure, this girl is so pretty!"
"Chef He, congratulations."
But when He Daqing returned to the kitchen of Fengze Garden, he saw that all the kitchen helpers were looking at him and laughing with a naughty look on their faces. Even the other chefs showed envious expressions.
Well, this is a matter between me and Qin Huairu, and everyone has discovered it.
He Daqing did not deny it and said with a big smile,
"Thank you, everyone. If I get married someday, I'll treat you all to a meal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire kitchen burst into laughter.
He Yuzhu secretly pulled He Daqing to a corner and looked at him seriously.
"Dad, that girl, is she really your new girlfriend?"
Even now, He Yuzhu couldn't believe that his father had found such a young and beautiful partner.
"Yes, her name is Qin Huairu, she's eighteen years old. Once you get married, she'll be your mother!"
He Daqing nodded. This kind of thing couldn't be concealed anyway, so there was nothing to hide.
"My goodness... eighteen years old. Dad, he's two years older than me. How can I face people when I go out in the future?"
When He Yuzhu heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
He could understand if He Daqing found someone like the White Widow, after all, it was not easy for their father to raise them.
But now, He Daqing actually wants to find an eighteen-year-old girl to marry. If this gets out, where will he put his face? It will make people laugh!
Not to mention other things, He Yuzhu has been teased by his colleagues a lot this afternoon alone.
Snapped!
However, in the face of He Yuzhu's questioning, He Daqing was unceremoniously hitting He Yuzhu on the back of the neck.
"I'm single, and she's single too. What's so embarrassing about that? What's wrong with the age difference? Look around this huge city, there are dozens of men who are ten years older than women in every alley."
"Silly Zhu, even if she is two years older than you, she is still your mother! Do you understand?"
He Daqing held the back of his neck and cried out in pain, then looked at his father speechlessly.
You are not just ten years older, you are a full seventeen years older. My dear father, you are really good!
