Translator:Sparrow TranslationsEditor:Sparrow Translations
A distance away, Lin Fans father could be seen smoking a cigarette. Lin Fan waved and greeted, Dad.
Lin Fans dad smiled and quickly helped Lin Fan with the box he was carrying.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, Im not tired. However, you really have to get rid of your smoking addiction. Its so bad for health.
Lin Fas Dad immediately extinguished the cigarette and tossed in the rubbish bin, Its not really an addiction, Im sure its ok to smoke every once in a while. Hurry, we were just waiting for you to have dinner together. Your mothers almost done with cooking.
After he reached home.
Wang Ming Yang had just arrived in this small block and headed directly towards the lift. He quickly observed which level the lift had stopped at and snickered to himself. With this, it could be said that he had a detailed understanding of his target. After checking the time, he quickly gave Xu Zi Yue a call, asking him out for dinner.
His fiance was still in Zhongzhou shooting for her new show. His wanted to visit to catch up on Lin Fans blind date progress. Also, he wanted to check on how his wife was doing and ensure that she wasnt getting bullied by the crew. If anyone was doing so, he would personally take revenge for her. Of course, the possibility of that happening was absolutely zero.
At home!
Mom, Im home! Lin Fan went ahead to place his luggage in the living room before heading towards the kitchen.
Lin Fans Mom said, Quick, go take a seat in the living room with your Dad. He has the pictures of the girl youll be meeting. Dinner will be ready in no time.
Mom Im still young! Theres no need to rush into these kinds of matters.
You are still young? Look around in our neighborhood, everyones married. Lao Lis Son who is only twenty-two even has kids already. How can you expect me to not worry and panic.
Alright, Ill go and have a conversation with Dad.
What else can I say?
Living room!
Look at these photos. Mom and I have already taken a look and we think shes the one. What are your thoughts, son? Lin Fans dad whipped out his handphone and opened up the pictures, showing them to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan reluctantly took a look, realizing that his parents were right. The lady looked absolutely stunning. However, it didnt matter to him, the reason for his visit this time was to ditch his old life. Besides, he was still young, marriage didnt have to be rushed.
Lets talk about it on the day itself, Lin Fan said irritably.
Lin Fans Dad looked at the photographs and nodded, Your mom and I both think that she is the right one for you. Listen up kid, just do your best tomorrow, your mom and I will take care of the wedding if you succeed.
Lin Fan sighed.
Looks like its really that urgent. I guess this time theres no more escaping marriage.
Not long after, Lin Fans mom called out, Come and get the dishes, dinners ready. Well talk more about t over dinner.
Lin Fan entered the kitchen and brought the dishes to the dining table.
Dining table.
Eat up son, these are all your favorites. Look at how skinny youve become. Im sure it because there no one to cook for you.
Lin Fan enjoyed the dishes and looked at himself, It cant be, Im pretty sure that I gained a few pounds these few days.
How are things in Shanghai? I hope youre used to it. I really think you should come back home. Zhongzhou is also a big city and its pretty much the same as Shanghai. Why put yourself under so much stress? Lin Fans mom nagged.
Lin Fan said, Mom, thats not right. You guys have already taken care of me for the past ten to twenty years. No matter what you think, I have to go out there and experience life for myself.
Lin Fans Dad nodded his in approval, I agree with what our son says.
Lin Fans mom stared briefly at him, You just focus on eating, Im just caring for our son, whats your problem?
Lin Fan quickly stepped in to save his Dad from his Moms scoldings. Mom, why do you always scold dad?
Its impossible for anyone to stay off your Dads case. Anyway, how are things in Shanghai? You mentioned that you opened a shop Is it doing well? Lin Fans Mom asked caringly.
Lin Fan nodded his head and said, Its decent. Getting paid every day has been working out well.
Work hard son Its important to work hard while youre young. Or else, you wont even have the energy to do so when youre old, Lin Fans Dad lectured.
I know that Dad, Im working really hard now. You guys dont have to be worried. So back to the topic of matchmaking I dont really think I want to go for it.
No way, you have to go for it. We have already made an appointment with their family. Dont you think about messing up our plans? After dinner, Dad will bring you to get some clothes. You have to look absolutely stunning for tomorrow, you know.. First impressions are everything. Look at your Lao Lee, hes a few years younger than your Dad and he already has grandchildren.
F*ck!
Lin Fan was speechless, Mom, Uncle Lees son married early, thats why. Besides, I was in university studying then, dont you remember?
That is why we can no longer delay further. If it doesnt work out this time, lets keep trying until it does. I refuse to believe that there isnt anyone in Zhongzhou that is suitable for my son.
He had no more counter-arguments left. If this were to fail, they would only set him up on more blind dates.
The photos that Dad showed you. Arent they ok? The girl youre meeting is highly educated, pretty and comes from a good family background. Her parents have the same mindset as us too. They are looking for someone who is born here. If you feel that theres chemistry tomorrow then the wedding is set.
Lin Fan chewed on a vegetable, Mom, you think so highly of the girl. However, do you think she will fancy me?
Im sure she will. As long as you are a hard worker Im sure shell be moved. Besides, if this fails, well just keep trying. Theres no such thing as a guaranteed success on the first try in matchmaking.
Upon hearing this Lin Fan knew there was no way he was escaping this. If he did, he would drive his parents crazy and his hopes of returning to Shanghai would be dashed.
Lets just wait and see. This marriage will definitely not work out. I went to get my hand pattern checked out, my marriage is still a long way from being due.
So dont get your hopes up. Im pretty sure that this will not work out.
To Lin Fan, there was no hurry, he was doing it to please his mother.
After dinner
Lin Fan wanted to help his mom with the dishes but was immediately chased out and forced to go shopping with his dad for the date tomorrow.
Son, I want you to give your best tomorrow. You still have a long way ahead of you. Lets just get this wedding set and focus on getting me a grandchild. No matter where you want to go, you go ahead, leave the child to your mom and me.
Lin Fan looked at his dad and said, Why do I feel like you guys are making me get married just so you can get grandchildren.
Lin Fans Dad coughed and said, Dont let your thoughts run wild. We just want the best for you so we can have the peace of mind.
Alright.
Although he believed his Dads story, his gut told him they were doing this just so they could have grandchildren.
