As Lin Xiamo just stepped into the house, Chen Qingzhu greeted her and said.
"Not necessary."
"I look like this, if they don’t like it, then so be it!"
Lin Xiamo shrugged indifferently.
"Sis, are you going on a blind date again today?"
Lin Jiayu seed interested, and asked gossipy, "Mom, what’s this brother-in-law’s condition like?"
"What brother-in-law!"
"When he arrives, don’t say it like that!"
Chen Qingzhu glared at her younger daughter, then said to Lin Xiamo, "This ti, Aunt Wang introduced you to a young man who’s an associate professor at Sanjiang Science and Technology University, studied in Australia, has a PhD from the University of Sydney, and also has a very good family background!"
"Have a good chat with him later!"
At this mont, Lin Moxuan, who heard the talking, ca out from the study. Seeing his two daughters had returned, he nodded in satisfaction and waved to Lin Xiamo, "Today, the CCTV ’Focus Person’ program team went to your school to interview Shen Qiushan?"
"Yes, I was responsible for accompanying the filming."
Lin Xiamo replied truthfully.
"With a CCTV interview, that kid is probably quite cocky now!"
Lin Moxuan curled his lips, his mind involuntarily conjuring up the smug image of Shen Qiushan.
Lin Xiamo knew her father was biased against Shen Qiushan, she denied, "Not at all, it was just a normal interview!"
Lin Moxuan didn’t quite believe it, but didn’t dwell further: "Have you read that ’Three-Body Civilization’ of his?"
"Not finished yet."
Lin Xiamo shook her head.
"Then there must be a draft?"
"Send a copy!"
Having learned about the Nebula Award, Lin Moxuan was also very curious about the book for which Shen Qiushan won, only it’s not purchasable yet.
As the father and daughter were talking, suddenly the doorbell rang outside.
"Should be them!"
Chen Qingzhu, already close to the door, hurried to open it.
Sure enough.
It was neighbor Wang Shulan and the blind date she introduced for her daughter.
However, the person Wang Shulan brought clearly did not match the image previously described.
Previously Wang Shulan said the person had a good family, a good job, and was good-looking.
The first two seed true, being neighbors for many years, she wouldn’t lie about such matters.
But the third, being good-looking was a bit of a stretch, this man looked about 40, wearing a gray-white checkered shirt on top, black trousers below, and black leather sandals on his feet, with gray thin socks peeking through the sandal gaps.
This outfit gave off one feeling: plain!
Not at all like soone who studied abroad.
"Hello, Auntie."
"I’m Zhang Chaofan, brought so gifts for you and Uncle."
The man was carrying two gift boxes.
They were things like bone-strengthening powder; the packaging looked nice and the size was big, but they were cheap, costing only a few dozen yuan at the supermarket.
However, for soone showing up on a blind date, it didn’t really matter whether they brought a gift or not.
"Thank you, Xiaozhang."
"You’re too kind."
Chen Qingzhu took the gift box, thanked him politely, and then let the two into the living room.
And Zhang Chaofan, upon seeing Lin Xiamo in the living room, was directly stunned.
Previously, when Wang Shulan said she was introducing a great beauty as a girlfriend, Zhang Chaofan didn’t take it to heart.
Because Lin Xiamo wasn’t the first blind date Wang Shulan introduced; previously, when introducing others, Wang Shulan also said the won were stunningly pretty, but upon eting they were just ordinary.
Those beautiful pictures were all overly enhanced, only about 50% similar to the person.
So, he wasn’t expecting much from today’s so-called beauty.
As a result, when he saw Lin Xiamo in person, he was completely stunned!
This ti, Wang Shulan wasn’t exaggerating; in the past, having 50% similarity to photos was decent enough.
But this ti the photos didn’t even do justice to the real person!
"Hello, Miss Lin."
"I’m Zhang Chaofan, 37 years old, currently a teacher at Sanjiang Science and Technology University, promoted to associate professor just last year."
"I have a house in Sanjiang, as well as a car..."
Zhang Chaofan was eager to share all his highlights with Lin Xiamo, hoping to win her favor.
Just as he was enthusiastically introducing himself, the doorbell rang again.
"Who could it be this ti?"
Chen Qingzhu headed to the door with a puzzled look.
As soon as she reached the door, it was sohow opened from outside.
Chen Qingzhu was startled, thinking, how could a thief dare to break in at this hour?
It turned out the person opening the door was her granddaughter Shen Yanran, she knew the ho fingerprint lock code, first rang the doorbell to alert, then directly opened the door.
"Shen Yanran, move aside!"
"You’re blocking the way, don’t you know!"
Before Chen Qingzhu could even ask questions, her grandson Shen Yixiao’s voice was heard again.
He entered with a stride, carrying two cases of liquor.
Behind them, son-in-law Shen Qiushan held a cigarette in one hand, a tea box in the other, face full of smiles.
This scene imdiately pulled Chen Qingzhu’s thoughts back to 19 years ago.
She recalled when Shen Qiushan ca to propose back then, similarly with cigarette in one hand, tea in the other, the smile on his face much like now.
Only, why is he here to propose again??
