“thas been a while since we last met, right? Why have you suddenly come to Shanghai recently?”
A silver-haired granny was relaxing on a recliner, holding a cup of tea in her hand. She looked very content. Even though time had left its mark on her face, one could still vaguely see the beauty of her youth.
A beautiful woman in an aqua-green cheongsam tapped her pipe but did not light it. She said, “Of course it’s for my worrisome daughter. She’s not young anymore. It’s time for her to find a suitable husband.”
“Aren’t you a little too anxious? If I remember correctly, she’s only in her early twenties, and there’s no one she likes now. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, why don’t we slowly look for her over time? This kind of thing can’t be rushed.”
Silver Hair Granny reminded her, “Don’t let her walk your old path. Even if you want to show your concern, you shouldn’t be working so hard in this area. Maybe the reason why that little girl of yours rejected those people was because she had a crush on someone. Don’t you agree, Qianjing?”
She guessed correctly in just a few words.
She was indeed the female devil king who had dominated the business world for many years.
Han Qianjing said calmly, “I chose my own suitor when I was young. If my parents got involved back then, based on their experience, I definitely wouldn’t have married him, so I thought…”
“Everyone is different. Just because you didn’t have good taste doesn’t mean that your daughter’s taste is equally bad. Just because she can’t compare to you now doesn’t mean that she’ll be suppressed by you for the rest of her life. Do you understand?”
Silver Hair Granny looked at her and said sincerely.
“quite like this little girl. She has been obedient and independent since she was young. You were absent for so many years. Now that she is so nice to you, that’s giving you face. To her, you’re a stranger with strong work ability. Don’t wear down her last bit of feelings for you.”
Wear down?
Han Qianjing recalled the expression on Chu Jinyu’s face when she talked about her lover. That familiar look—didn’t I used to be like that too?
However, the difference between the two was that she had chosen the wrong person.
“As expected, I’m still worried about her. When she was young, she was often bullied and did not know how to retaliate. Even though I had the intention to let her establish a company to train her ability, it still did not meet my expectations. When she suggested coming to Shanghai, I thought that she
really wanted to do something big. Who knew that she would come to meet her lover.”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “If I didn’t say that I wanted to set her up on a few more blind dates, she probably wouldn’t have told me until now. She used to have a crush on a childhood friend for many years, and the other party still didn’t know about her feelings for him. I don’t even know
who she inherited this useless demeanor from!”
From whom?
This is a good question. Perhaps it is a genetic mutation? Silver Hair Granny thought.
This mother-daughter pair are extreme opposites.
She vaguely remembered that back then, when Han Qianjing liked someone, she almost kidnapped him home like a bandit boss. She did not know who she learned it from.
“From your tone, you’ve met the girl’s lover? How is he?”
“_. They’re not compatible. I don’t approve of them being together.”
Han Qianjing was still brooding over this. She felt that only people of similar backgrounds had similar values.
“Is that so?”
Silver Hair Granny saw the clues. She took a sip of tea smugly and said, “He doesn’t seem to be that bad. Otherwise, if it were the old you, you would definitely say a lot of bad things, right? Unless… Other than that, you’re very satisfied.”
Han Qianjing exhaled. “You’re really amazing. The gap between us is still too big.”
“How can a master starve to death when the disciple is full? You learned this ability to read people from me. However, with your current standards, it’s enough to scare people.”
‘There was a baffling sense of unyielding confidence in her words that could not be ignored even if one wanted to.
“It’s as you said. My daughter’s childhood friend can be considered outstanding. Not only is he good-looking, he’s also capable at work. His character is not bad either. He treats Jinyu well enough. Other than his family background, he… is close to perfection.”
Han Qianjing said rationally, “His father is Lu Yaohua of the Lu Corporation. He abandoned his wife and son and married the third daughter of the Tang family. He is the child with his ex-wife.”
News of Lu Yaohua’s scandal had long spread among the upper-class circles. On the surface, he was talking about a peaceful divorce, but with a little investigation, everyone knew that he was a person who despised the poor and loved the rich.
Back then, the old master of the Tang family naturally knew Lu Yaohua’s thoughts, which was why he had tried so hard to prevent the two of them from getting together. However, he could not stop the third Miss Tang from being a love maniac who had to marry a man who was married before. Han
Qianjing thought, Her taste was worse than mine!
“Isn’t it obvious that this person is not ordinary to be able to play such bad cards so well? What else are you dissatisfied with?”
Silver Hair Granny asked a soul-searching question. “If you go to Beijing to look for a suitor, you can indeed find someone with a better family background than him, but his character and ability won’t be as good as his.”
Han Qianjing fell silent and did not speak again.
Of course, she knew what this meant. In fact, Lu Ming had long met the standards that she set, and he was even much better than her. However, she could not get over his family background.
She could see unlimited potential in Lu Ming, but what if he lost his touch one day?
She wanted to choose a safer person.
However, there was a high chance that Chu Jinyu would not like it.
What should I do?
Just as she was lost in thought, Silver Hair Granny seemed to have thought of something and said, “I heard that a young man bought that piece of land in the suburbs for 100 million yuan? Recently, many people have been asking me about his activities. I haven’t been out for a long time, so how could I
know him?”
Han Qianjing’s gaze became strange. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “He is Jinyu’s sweetheart.”
22?
Silver Hair Granny sat up abruptly and almost lost her balance. “Are you sure? You’re not lying to me, right?”
“It’s really him. Lu Ming. Didn’t he set up a car company recently? It’s said that he will launch smart cars and flying cars soon. I wonder if it’s true.”
Han Qianjing propped her chin and said, “Smart cars symbolize the future. Its value will only increase, so I plan to find a way to lease a piece of land beside the industrial park to establish a new company.”
After hearing the affirmative answer, Silver Hair Granny was stunned for a moment before she said, “Why don’t you just look for him? Don’t you have a little girl as a bridge between the two of you?”
“Do you think it’s appropriate for me to take the initiative to find a junior to collaborate with?”
