Free Web NovelChapter 1592: Chapter 1049: Clearing the Air
Upon learning about Liu Meijun’s matchmaking ordeal, Chuxia couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. If this had happened thirty or forty years ago, with Liu Jianfeng’s attitude, he would definitely have been doused with a faceful of water!
However, given the precedent set by Zhou Mikang, it’s hard to say whether Liu Jianfeng would be Liu Meijun’s Mr. Right. Hence, her opinion aligned with Luo Xiaoqiong’s, which was to observe interactions first. If they’re suitable, it’s fate; if not, then break it off.
Since all her good friends held this opinion, Liu Meijun, after avoiding Director Liu all morning, finally had the courage to sit in the office and face him properly.
"Hey, why aren’t you running outside?" Director Liu remarked with amusement, "You came bright and early, busy without a moment’s rest. I thought you intended to keep yourself occupied like this."
"Hehe..." Liu Meijun chuckled embarrassedly, "I hadn’t figured things out earlier, so I was afraid you’d ask me questions I wouldn’t know how to answer. You’re my mentor, and I certainly don’t want to upset you."
"You silly child, how could you accuse me like that?" Director Liu shook his head helplessly, "Do you think I said those things yesterday to force you into something with Jianfeng?
You really misunderstood me. That kid practically grew up before my eyes—very smart, very capable, and kind-hearted, though perhaps a bit too straightforward in matters of the heart.
Take what happened the other day. His third aunt introduced him to a girl and arranged for them to meet. She reminded him not to be too blunt, whether he liked her or not, and to speak more diplomatically.
But what did he do? After a few words, he stood up and told her, ’Don’t waste your time. I detest people who like to stir up trouble.’
The girl said afterward that she actually liked him quite a bit. Since he wasn’t talking, and she was afraid it would just end there, she tried desperately to make conversation. But having just met him, she didn’t know what he liked to hear, so she started discussing some minor office disputes.
She thought, since there’s competition in the military, she could talk about some competition in their factory. Little did she know, she would receive such a response.
The matchmaking was at the girl’s house, and the elders were sitting outside. To be abandoned so bluntly, the girl felt like crashing her head into a wall.
Fortunately, his third aunt was there and knew her nephew’s temperament. She hurriedly apologized to the girl and explained to the girl’s elders, saving the girl’s face.
Actually, the reason I introduced you to him is that I truly think you’re his type, and he will likely take a liking to you. I also feel that if you really could make it with him, you’d absolutely not suffer any grievances.
Don’t be fooled by his hurtful words—he’s incredibly attentive and considerate with his family. In his family, aside from him, there are two older sisters and one younger sister. Normally, you’d expect the boy to be rough and the girls to be delicate, but in their family, it’s quite the opposite.
Whenever he’s in town or traveling, if he sees something an elder loves to eat, he’ll buy it immediately for them to try. He remembers clearly every elder’s birthday and even reminds his sisters well ahead.
A man like that, if you were to marry him, how could he possibly treat you poorly? Such men don’t like beating around the bush because they don’t want to waste time on trivial matters.
You might think he’s uninteresting, not lovable, but in real life, you need someone like that. He may not talk much, but he considers everything ahead for you, making your life much easier.
I’m telling you, a woman who marries a man she doesn’t have to worry about is truly blessed. Ten years later, standing next to your peers, you’ll look five to six years younger.
"Teacher, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?"
"Not at all..." Director Liu replied seriously, "Of course, I’m just telling you what I know, and the reason I introduced him to you. Whether it works or not is truly for you to decide. You needn’t worry about anything else. Last night, were you mulling over whether I was pressuring you?"
"No, no, no..." Liu Meijun quickly denied it, "How could I think that of you, Teacher? I just couldn’t make up my mind and felt quite conflicted. To be honest, even though the advantages you mentioned seem quite appealing to me, just thinking about his attitude when interacting with him raises several questions in my mind.
