With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Shen Jingjing responded and explained, "A friend from out of town."

Aunt Wang gave Jiang Yuanliang a meaningful look, then tentatively asked, "A friend from out of town? Are you staying here?"

"No, Aunt Wang, he'll only stay for a short while. He arrived around the same time as you."

Shen Jingjing quickly denied it and poured two more glasses of water for Aunt Wang and Mr. Wang to sit down and talk.

Mr. Wang only looked away from Shen Jingjing after sitting down, then glanced warily at Jiang Yuanliang, looked around the house, and finally spoke his first words: "This house is quite small. I heard from Auntie that you have three children? How can they all live here?"

Shen Jingjing was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other person was talking to her, and then replied, "The place isn't big, but I'm used to living here. Now that both of my daughters have gone to university in Longcheng, I feel like the house is empty."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang quickly chimed in, "Mr. Wang, haven't I told you before? Jingjing's three children are all remarkable. Her eldest daughter is at that university of science and technology, and her second daughter is at that film academy. They are both very smart children, just like their mother."

The middleman is good at saying nice things. Obviously, Aunt Wang had already told the other party about Shen Jingjing's situation. The other party must have come to see her because they were interested.

When Mr. Wang sat down, his body shriveled up like a malnourished person, yet he insisted on putting on a serious and composed face. His entire image and temperament were extremely discordant and unlikable.

The way he looked at her, in particular, made Shen Jingjing feel that he was extremely rude, as if he were staring at her like an object.

The man didn't respond to Aunt Wang's words, but instead looked at Shen Jingjing and asked, "Are you aware of my situation?"

Before Shen Jingjing could speak, he proudly raised his chin and said to himself, "Let me tell you about my situation in detail. I am from Funan, and I am 51 years old this year. I know I may look younger than I am, but I am indeed 51 years old."

Shen Jingjing: ?

Is youth still there?

Mr. Wang continued, "Auntie said you're 44 years old this year? I usually have requirements for my partner's age, preferably not over 40, since it's harder to have children at an older age. But Auntie said you've had three children, so I think you're quite fortunate in terms of fertility. You also look younger than your actual age and have a good temperament, which is what I value most."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing's expression changed slightly, but out of consideration for Aunt Wang, an elder, she did not say anything more.

Mr. Wang continued, "I also have a child, not yet 30, a son, who is currently in charge of our family's business in the northern market. But don't worry, if you give birth to a child for me, preferably a son, I will definitely leave a portion of the property to our child in the future. After all, he is my own flesh and blood, and I certainly won't only favor the eldest."

Shen Jingjing's expression was already on the verge of collapse. Aunt Wang, being shrewd and perceptive, noticed that Shen Jingjing seemed somewhat unhappy and quickly chimed in, "Jingjing, Mr. Wang is a rather straightforward person, but when we go on blind dates, efficiency is what matters, right? Look, he's been very honest and laid it all out for you."

Shen Jingjing forced a smile, hesitating about how to refuse, when she heard Jiang Yuanliang suddenly speak up.

He sat casually on the sofa, his air of superiority undiminished: "Excuse me, but I'm just curious. Mr. Wang, right? What kind of business do you run?"

Jiang Yuanliang's words surprised everyone. Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then tried to put on a superior attitude in front of Jiang Yuanliang, but found himself intimidated by the other party's natural aura and subconsciously took a breath.

He straightened his expression, feigning nonchalance, and said casually, "It's just a small business. We mainly sell authentic Funan pineapple cakes. We have about 70 offline stores nationwide. It's nothing to brag about."

He appeared modest, but his tone betrayed a deep sense of pride and boastfulness.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanliang nodded slightly and said, "Oh, then the business is quite small."

Mr. Wang's smile froze, and he blinked as if he thought he had misheard.

Shen Jingjing turned her head away to hide the urge to laugh, but Aunt Wang gave Jiang Yuanliang a reproachful look and said, "Mr. Wang's business is quite large. Do you know what it means to have more than 70 stores? That's more than a thousand yuan a year!"

Aunt Wang's explanation made Mr. Wang's lips curl up again: "Never mind, Auntie, people who don't do business don't understand these things."

Jiang Yuanliang chuckled and sat up slightly. This subconscious movement exuded a strong sense of pressure, causing Mr. Wang to instinctively look at him, his gaze once again filled with vigilance.

Then Jiang Yuanliang looked at him calmly and said, "I'm just giving you a piece of advice: Ms. Shen won't be interested in you. She didn't even consider someone like me."

One sentence stunned everyone present.

Shen Jingjing looked at Jiang Yuanliang with a shocked and confused expression, but he just smiled slightly at her.

Mr. Wang frowned and asked hesitantly, "What do you mean by that? Are you here for a blind date too?"

Jiang Yuanliang said softly without changing his expression, "I'm not here for a blind date, I'm here to confess my feelings. I've admired Ms. Shen for a long time, and this is the third time I've confessed to her. She just rejected me before you came in."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuanliang's words, Mr. Wang's face darkened instantly, but then he thought about it again and scoffed disdainfully, "She rejected you but not me. What you're saying is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

"Let me analyze this for you, whether it makes sense or not." Jiang Yuanliang said, holding up a long, slender finger: "First, you're over 50, while I'm 36. I'm 1.84 meters tall, and you're less than 1.7 meters. In terms of age and appearance, I'm way ahead of you, that's an indisputable fact, isn't it?"

Mr. Wang choked, and Aunt Wang, regaining her composure, chimed in, "You don't understand. Women all like older women; older women are more caring. Besides, you're 36 and not a good match at all, being 8 years younger than Jingjing!"

Jiang Yuanliang said, "Older people are more likely to be bedridden. Ms. Shen has worked hard for half her life and finally raised her children. She certainly doesn't want to turn around and take care of an old man. I didn't mean to say that Mr. Wang is old, but you look a bit old. You don't look 51, you look 67."

"As for the fact that I am 8 years younger than Ms. Shen, isn't Mr. Wang 7 years older than Ms. Shen? Who says that only men can find women younger than themselves, and women can't find men younger than themselves? I think being young is my advantage. At least in the short term, I shouldn't be at risk of being paralyzed in bed, unless I accidentally have an allergic reaction."
