Chapter 2791: Chapter 2727: Playing Matchmaker for Her
Having that kind of foundation at eighteen is really astonishing.
Seeing Madam Cui praising Jiang Xiao like this, Old Madam Wei felt even more regretful. Why wasn’t Jiang Xiao her granddaughter‑in‑law?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help saying to Madam Cui again, "Exactly, I’ve never seen such a spiritually gifted little girl before. And on top of that, she’s this pretty!"
"Yes, she really is quite pretty, so fresh and delicate," Madam Cui also laughed.
"So," Old Madam Wei clapped her hands and said, "my eldest grandson, you still remember him, right?"
"The one in the Sea Region Alliance?"
"Yes, that one, Yixi."
"Oh right, that’s his name," Madam Cui nodded. "I remember he’s quite handsome too."
"I was thinking, if this Xiao Chiang could be my eldest grandson’s wife, wouldn’t that be perfect."
Jiang Xiao: "..."
She’d really seen what stubbornness was today.
Old Madam Wei had truly opened her eyes.
How did they manage, after circling around for more than half a day and such a big loop, to come back to this topic again?
They’d already said she was engaged, how was she still not giving up...
Jiang Xiao was both amused and helpless.
Madam Cui looked at her in surprise. "I think it could work! Your eldest grandson became a Junior Alliance Officer at such a young age, right? So outstanding, and he still doesn’t have a girlfriend?"
"That brat has standards way too high, that’s why he’s still single. It’s worrying me to death!" Old Madam Wei sighed with exaggerated drama, then turned to Jiang Xiao again. "So the moment I saw Xiao Chiang, I felt their marriage must be written by fate. My eldest grandson is already well past twenty and still single; my guess is Matchmaker Yue wanted him to wait for Xiao Chiang."
Before Jiang Xiao could speak, Madam Cui was already interested. "That saying does make sense. I really think Xiao Chiang is a great girl—pretty and bright‑eyed, always smiling and easy to like, she paints so well, and she’s a college student. That’s one in a hundred. How about this, I’ll be their matchmaker?"
Madam Cui had never played matchmaker for anyone before!
Old Madam Wei’s face instantly lit up with joy. "Oh my, that would be just..." Wonderful! With Madam Cui as the matchmaker, that kid from the Meng Family would have to let go, right?
There are plenty of flowers all over the world, why cling to only one, isn’t that so?
Seeing that things were going in the wrong direction, Jiang Xiao hurriedly cut in, not caring whether it was polite anymore.
"No way!"
Madam Cui froze for a moment.
"Madam Cui, I’m already engaged. My fiancé is the son of Alliance Officer Meng Chaojun, Meng Xinian. He’s currently in Ke Ku Li, he went there with the Dispatch Alliance over half a month ago."
She said it all in one breath, then let out a quiet sigh of relief and looked at Old Madam Wei.
"Old Madam, please don’t joke around with me like that. For all we know, Young Alliance Official Wei might already have someone he likes. If you keep joking about us like this, I’ll be too embarrassed to see him in the future."
Madam Cui stared at her in surprise. "You’re already engaged?"
Jiang Xiao nodded.
Now she suddenly felt that getting engaged early was actually a good thing—much more solid than just saying they were dating.
Besides, the siheyuan courtyard, the teahouse shop, the safety talisman she was wearing around her neck, the five thousand yuan they spent on the apartment in City M back then, plus the engagement gifts Meng Xinian had given her—how many things had she accepted from Meng Xinian over these years?
Adding it all up, Jiang Xiao really felt that giving herself to him was only right.
Not to mention, that courtyard and that shop would both be worth over a hundred million in the future.
Tyrant Meng was really throwing in his entire fortune to get himself a wife.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help wanting to stick out her tongue.
Madam Cui thought she was just feeling shy about being engaged.
