Chapter 386 - 385: Agreeing to Meet

Lin Wan looked down at the photo that Aunt Liu took out—dark hair, 1.8 meters tall, not too fat or thin, and quite good-looking, a very stylish middle-aged man. He left a good impression.

"Saozi, no matter what you say, I won’t agree. You should go back."

"It’s such a good opportunity. People like him are rare. If he wasn’t good, I wouldn’t introduce him to you. Whether you’re willing or not, you should at least meet him. Don’t be too resolute; we still have a long life ahead." Aunt Liu, experienced in matchmaking, patiently persuaded Liang Hongmei.

Lin Wan couldn’t interject. Honestly, she felt conflicted. She wanted her mom to be happy, to have someone who cared for her, but she couldn’t bear the thought of her mom marrying a stranger. After an hour of persuasion, Lin Wan poured several glasses of water for Aunt Liu.

In the end, realizing Liang Hongmei was very stubborn, Aunt Liu decided to give up.

As Lin Wan escorted Aunt Liu to the door, she whispered, "Auntie, why don’t you arrange a time for my mom and this gentleman to meet?"

Aunt Liu’s eyes lit up, sensing an opportunity. She quickly took Lin Wan’s hand and said, "Go home and persuade your mom well. It’s not easy for us women. It’s even harder for your mom. The man I’m introducing doesn’t have poor conditions, and his daughter supports him in finding someone."

"Okay, I will persuade my mom thoroughly."

"Alright, I’m leaving now. These two days, I’ll speak with the other side and arrange a time for the two to meet. Whether it works or not depends on them. If they don’t match, then forget it."

"Okay, take care, Auntie. Travel safely."

"Good girl, head back." Aunt Liu liked Lin Wan’s sweet talk.

After returning inside, Liang Hongmei glanced at Lin Wan and said, "Have you sent her off?"

Lin Wan nodded, and before Liang Hongmei could relax, Lin Wan added, "Mom, I promised Auntie just now to arrange for you two to meet."

As soon as Liang Hongmei heard this, she got angry, "Xiao Wan, aren’t you just creating trouble for your mom? I only want to stay with you and your brother for this life, never considering finding someone else. If I wanted to get married, I would have found you a stepfather when I was younger."

"Mom, I know, but Aunt Liu came all the way here, didn’t she? She cares so much because she likes our family, right? Mom, you’ve been in S City for years and hardly made any friends. She’s truly sincere. We can’t disrespect her, and meeting him doesn’t mean you’ll choose him."

Lin Wan paused and continued, "Besides, meeting him might be good. If you truly find someone suitable, I won’t oppose it, and I’m sure brother won’t either."

"Your opinions don’t matter to me. If I say I’m unwilling, then I’m unwilling... What? You all have families now, and you’re tired of this old lady?"

"Oh, Mom, who’s tired of you? I won’t say anymore, is that okay? Our family listens to you. Brother and I respect your decision. I definitely don’t want to give my mom away; I can’t bear it."

"Stop being cheeky with me."

Though Liang Hongmei disagreed with Aunt Liu’s matchmaking, she couldn’t let her efforts go to waste. So, she decided to meet him.

When brother came home in the evening, Lin Wan secretly told him about the afternoon’s events.

Brother didn’t express agreement or disagreement; he said he’d respect mom’s decision.

Lin Wan didn’t say anything more about it.
