Chapter 428: You Have No Boundaries

"Director Wang, is there something you need?"

Mrs. Fu actually couldn’t stand the woman.

She felt that a visit from her was definitely a bad omen.

Ever since she’d brought that boy from the Hao Family over last time, she had rarely come around.

Even when passing by—she would give the Hao Family a wide berth.

Clearly, that kid from the Hao Family had left her with quite a bit of trauma.

But today, she had actually shown up.

This Sister Wang was all smiles.

"Auntie, it’s wonderful news! How about we go inside to talk?"

Mrs. Fu was rather reluctant to let her into the courtyard.

Standing at the doorway without moving an inch, she asked directly,

"Wonderful news? What kind of news? Did my daughter get a promotion? Or my son-in-law? Or do you have a job lined up for me?"

The expression on Sister Wang’s face froze—as if she would be the one to announce a promotion.

She forced a smile and said, "Auntie, it’s not any of those things. Didn’t you mention to someone last time that Qin Wenhao’s sister is still single? Well, I was thinking, there are so many fine young men in the military unit, so I figured I could play matchmaker."

Mrs. Fu was stunned.

She had considered other possibilities, but never had she imagined the woman could be this absurd.

’And what was that about *me* saying Qin Wenhao’s sister is single? It makes me sound like I’m going around announcing it to the world!’

’If Qin Wenhao and his sister heard that—what would they think of me?’

"Director Wang, which damn gossipmonger has been spreading rumors? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you, Director Wang, were twisting the facts. My exact words last time were that a woman doesn’t necessarily have to get married. Marriage isn’t a woman’s final destination."

"Besides, don’t we have freedom of marriage now? You’re a high-ranking director, Director Wang, so why are you still clinging to such feudal ideas?"

No matter who was right or wrong—the first order of business was to slap that label on her.

The smile Sister Wang had just plastered on was, once again, about to crack.

"—Auntie, you can’t just say things like that. I just heard—"

Mrs. Fu cut her off directly. "You heard? You heard from some wagging tongue? What the hell does it have to do with them whether she gets married or not? And going around advertising it—what, does it make them look good?"

Sister Wang was dumbfounded.

Just then, Mrs. Fu launched another volley at her. "Sister Wang, it’s not my place to criticize, but her own parents aren’t even meddling in this, yet here you are, trying to manage her love life. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you love being a busybody—as if managing the family compound isn’t enough, you’re now stretching your hand way too far, meddling in things outside your own little patch."

"It’s like how a commune only manages its own affairs; it would never dare to manage the commune next door! Director Wang, wouldn’t you say that makes sense?"

Sister Wang’s face turned shades of green and white—she was absolutely livid.

"Director Wang, I don’t mean to be harsh, but that’s my in-law’s daughter. Her own family will worry about her. Besides, for such a wonderful girl, her decisions about marriage must be respected.

Director Wang, there are plenty of single young men and women in the military unit. Since you’re so enthusiastic, why don’t you try setting them up, pair by pair? As for people outside the unit, you’d best not worry about them."

Sister Wang’s face was a kaleidoscope of colors.

There was no trace of a smile on her face now.

"—You can’t put it that way. If I come across someone suitable, it’s only right to make an introduction—"

"What do you mean, ’suitable’? ’Suitable’ is when someone asks for your help. When no one has asked you, and you just show up offering to introduce a blind date, that’s called being presumptuous. That’s called overstepping. You’re an educated woman. If I can understand this principle, Director Wang, surely you should too!"

"Alright, my two kids are still eating, and I need to keep an eye on them, so I can’t stay and chat."

After saying this, she shut the main gate right in Director Wang’s face.
