“Xingzhi had always had a cold personality since he was young. Other boys would usually start dating when they were 18 or 19 years old. However, Xingzhi had never mentioned a girl’s name, even when he graduated from the university. I was worried that he lacked the knowledge to do all that. After his graduation, he had joined the army, which meant he would have fewer chances to meet ladies. I was worried that he would be like the other soldiers who couldn’t get married until they’re old.”

Mrs Lu sighed. Lu Xingzhi had a cold personality in the past. It was as if he could not take anything in the world to heart. Mrs Lu knew many families with children who had joined the army. Even though they were not like Lu Xingzhi, who had joined the military after he graduated from the military academy, those soldiers did not get to go home often. Some were still unmarried even though they were 30 years old.

That was why Mrs Lu was worried about Lu Xingzhi; she did not want him to have that future. So, before Lu Xingzhi graduated, she had rushed to arrange a blind date for him. When she told him about it, Lu Xingzhi had looked unhappy. She knew she had been right to worry about him.

“Then, I was angry with him. I told him that he could either let me see his girlfriend or take the opportunity to go on a blind date.” Mrs Lu smiled helplessly. “I was too angry at that time, and I spoke to him too harshly. So, he said okay. However, he only agreed to get married. When I told him to go on a blind date, do you know what he said? He said, since I was the one who wanted a daughter-in-law, he would be fine with anyone as long as I can get along well with them. He didn’t want to see them. He told me to inform him of the wedding details so that he could come home for it.”

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly. “Auntie did not want Brother to feel aggrieved. So, when she was looking for a partner for him, she focused on their looks and education level. When she found Chen Lanying, we thought that she seemed alright. Our county is so small, and there weren’t that many girls who have studied for so many years. Chen Lanying graduated from high school, and she had a good job. At that time, she had a job with the government department, and she was quite the looker. So, Auntie decided on Chen Lanying.”

Jiang Yao did not know how to deal with Lu Xingzhi’s past. She had heard something about it, but she never understood it in detail. She had been quite indifferent about it in the past, but since she had a great relationship with him, she had forgotten about it.

If Jiang Yao had not seen Chen Lanying that day, she might not have remembered it for the rest of her life.

However, since she had heard it again, her heart was inexplicably stifled. If her husband were with her then, she would probably bite him to vent her anger.

“The Chen family probably also thought that my brother had great qualifications, so they were happy when they heard about it. Even Chen Lanying was happy with the prospects. However, my brother was always not around. Later, Auntie sent a photo of Chen Lanying to him. She told him to come home to see her if he agreed to their relationship.” Lu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly. “But while they were on the phone, my brother told Auntie that he was fine with her if she was alright with it. He said that as long as she got along well with Auntie after their marriage and won’t cause any problem, then he was fine with it.”
