Yuan Ji suspected that the person who hired him was a villager, so since entering Longxi Village, he has been paying attention to everyone he meets.
Yuan Ji was still very curious about this employer.
However, he didn't see many people along the way, and they were all elderly men.
Yuan Ji wasn't sure whether his employer used a voice changer when he called him, but judging from his voice, he didn't seem to be very old.
Because of the angle, when Yuan Ji walked past Su Ziyu's house, he did not notice Su Ziyu sitting in the yard, and he just followed Wang the matchmaker across the stone bridge to Su Mingliang's house.
Su Mingliang had already informed the Wang family, but Su Yang had just returned and the Wang family had not met him yet, so the betrothal gift had not yet been given to Su Mingliang.
At this time, Yuan Ji spent some money to find Wang the matchmaker, and Wang the matchmaker agreed to take him on the trip without saying a word.
Although matchmaker Wang also has the surname Wang, she has no relationship with Wang Ligen's family at all.
Now she is just trying to act as a matchmaker for Yuan Ji, and there is no guarantee that the marriage will be successful or she will get paid. Why wouldn't she take such an easy job?
When the two arrived, Su Yang was still cooking dinner in the kitchen.
Su Mingliang was dozing off in a recliner when he heard a familiar voice calling him. He opened his eyes and saw the warm smile of Matchmaker Wang.
"Brother, have you eaten yet? I'm here to tell you the good news!"
Su Mingliang was full of questions, and then he saw the tall and strong figure behind Wang the Matchmaker, and his eyes lingered on the gift box in his hand.
"What good news? How come I don't know?"
Matchmaker Wang smiled and said, "Of course it's about your third daughter."
Matchmaker Wang pointed at Yuan Ji and introduced him to Su Mingliang.
"This is Wu Ren, from Kyoto, specially for your third daughter."
Yuan Ji didn't show much enthusiasm. After looking around, his tone was filled with disdain.
"It turns out that my cousin Su Jie used to live here!"
Su Mingliang was stunned, and then his face turned dark.
His house is a new one that was built not long ago. How could that useless second brother have ever lived in such a nice house?
He couldn't be more satisfied with this house now, but now it has been devalued like this.
But...he seemed to have heard the second girl's name just now.
Su Mingliang looked at Yuan Ji suspiciously and asked uncertainly, "Your cousin's wife?"
"Isn't that pretty boy named Jia from Hong Kong?"
Yuan Ji raised his hand, revealing the conspicuous large gold watch on his wrist, and said in a nonchalant tone,
"Yes, my aunt married and moved to Hong Kong."
"I went to Hong Kong for business some time ago and met my cousin's wife when I stopped by to visit my aunt.
I never thought that a family like yours could give birth to someone as beautiful, gentle and virtuous as my cousin's wife."
As he spoke, Yuan Ji curled his lips in disdain.
Matchmaker Wang stood aside, the smile on her face almost unable to be maintained.
Didn’t you say you wanted to come and propose marriage?
If you didn't know, you would think that he was here to seek revenge.
Su Mingliang was also very angry, but the big gold watch on Yuan Ji's hand was too obvious, and Su Mingliang couldn't take his eyes off it.
At this time, Li Xiulian heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. Seeing the situation in the yard, she asked in confusion:
"Sister Wang, what are you doing?"
Before Matchmaker Wang could say anything, Yuan Ji spoke first.
"I heard from my cousin's wife that she has a third sister who is even prettier than her, smarter and has good grades. Why don't you ask her to come out and let me see her? If she can satisfy me, I will give you a lot of betrothal gifts."
Yuan Ji raised his chin and looked people up through his nose, perfectly imitating the demeanor of a big boss from the city.
After hearing this, Su Mingliang's anger subsided.
Judging from the tone of this "Wu Ren", he is a big boss from the capital. Looking at the big gold watch on his hand, it is not cheap. So the betrothal gift must not be less than that of Boss Yang's family, right?
"Hey, Erya's cousin, please come in. It's very hot outside. Come in and get some fresh air from the fan."
As enthusiastic as Su Mingliang was towards Yuan Ji, he turned around and became impatient towards Li Xiulian.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and pour some water for your nephew!"
He then whispered, "Tell San Ya to go back to her room and pack up before meeting the guests. As for dinner, you can cook it!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Li Xiu Lian shrank her neck. Although she was a little unhappy, she still obediently went into the kitchen.
Su Yang heard some noise in the yard, but she didn't take it seriously and just quietly cut vegetables there.
When Li Xiulian came in, Su Yang didn't even bat an eyelid at her, pretending she didn't exist.
"Okay, stop cutting it and go back to the house and change into something nice."
Su Yang paused holding the knife, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. She bit her lip and whispered:
"But I still have to cook."
Li Xiulian glared at Su Yang angrily and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.
"Your second sister's cousin is here. From what he said, it seems your second sister said something nice about you, so he decided to come and see you."
"That young man is tall and handsome, and the big gold watch on his wrist is shining~"
"It's not that I'm blinded by money. It's better for you to follow him than Wang Ligen."
Second sister?
Su Yang's heart, which had been lifted up in the air, suddenly settled down. He thought, this must be the person Su Ziyu had found.
Thinking of this, Su Yang was no longer so resistant.
She washed her hands, dried them, untied her apron and walked out of the kitchen.
There is a staircase next to the kitchen in their house that leads to the second floor, and there is no need to go through the living room.
By the time Su Yang changed his clothes and went downstairs, Su Mingliang had already gained some trust in Yuan Ji's identity as the big boss, and was now enthusiastically making tea for Yuan Ji!
Yuan Ji kept nitpicking, and Matchmaker Wang sat awkwardly by the side without saying a word, just listening to the conversation between the two.
"Look, nephew, this is my third daughter, Su Yang."
"She does have good grades, and she did well on the college entrance exam this year, with a score that's sure to get her into a key university."
The wounds on Su Yang's face had almost healed, but the dark circles around his eyes and the bruises on his cheeks were still visible.
Yuan Ji frowned and said with disdain, "This doesn't look good either. Is that a birthmark on the face?"
"My cousin is lying to me!"
Seeing this, Su Mingliang quickly explained, "My dear nephew, you misunderstood. San Ya accidentally fell a few days ago, and the scar on her face hasn't healed yet. It's not a birthmark."
Su Yang noticed that Yuan Ji inadvertently made a gesture towards her, which was what Su Ziyu had agreed with her early in the morning.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she felt completely relieved.
Su Yang acted timid and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Wu, is my second sister okay? Why hasn't she called home?"
Yuan Ji crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and sneered disdainfully.
"My cousin's family is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong. If my cousin hadn't insisted on marrying my cousin's wife, it stands to reason that my cousin's wife wouldn't have been able to marry into the Jia family."
"Although my aunt and uncle later compromised, they didn't want to have anything to do with a family like yours, so why would they let my cousin contact you?"
