Gu Changle reviewed the pictures of the remaining seven candidates for Shao Xueâs blind date in the hospital.
She said to Shao Tianze, âI think the eldest son of the Zhang Family is pretty good.â
âIâll pass all of them.â Shao Tianze frowned, âIsnât the mess made by Tang Jian last time not enough? Our family has never been so humiliated.â
Gu Changle was not convinced, âThese seven men canât be as bad as Tang Jian. Shao Xue needs a husband. I chose so many for her. One of them must be a good fit.â
Shao Tianze twisted his eyebrows, took the photos in Gu Changleâs hand, and threw them into the trash can.
Gu Changle couldnât help frowning, âWhat are you doing, Tianze?â
Shao Tianzeâs voice was cold, âWe have made enough jokes. Donât make a fool of ourselves.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shao Xue having a blind date with someone like Tang Jian had already ashamed the Shao Family.
What kind of man Gu Changle wanted to offer Shao Xue next?
Gu Changle downplayed it, âWhy? You still want Shao Xue to stay by your side?â
âI donât, but I canât let you ruin the reputation of my family.â
Gu Changleâs eyebrows were about to be raised, âWhat do you mean I ruined the reputation of your family? Have I done anything bad to your family? I have been conspiring so hard for all these years. You owe me half of the credit for what you are today. Now you donât like my approach just because of Shao Xue?â
Gu Changle was angry and aggressive while talking.
Listening to her, Shao Tianze felt even more uncomfortable.
Upon hearing her claim that he owed her half of the credit for what he was today, Shao Tianze turned to Gu Changle with slightly narrowed eyes. He did not reply to it for a while.
His cold eyes made Gu Changleâs toes curl.
âWhat? Did I say anything wrong?â
Gu Changle straightened her back and asked Shao Tianze, looking confident.
Shao Tianze looked at her and said coldly, âYes, I owe you.â
âThen whatâs wrong with me setting up a blind date for Shao Xue?â
Gu Changle continued to ask.
Shao Tianze nodded, âYou did nothing wrong.â
âSo why did you throw the photos into the trash can?â Gu Changle asked him rightfully.
Shao Tianze asked her back, âIâll pick them up for you to re-select, okay?â
While talking, Shao Tianze bent down and was about to pick them up.
As careless as Gu Changle, she knew this was unusual.
After pondering for a moment, she hurriedly stopped him, âNo, you donât have to.â
Shao Tianze stopped and turned to her.
Gu Changle pursed her lips, âItâs my fault. Itâs your call to choose a man for Shao Xue.â
As Gu Changle said, Shao Tianze lowered his eyes, âIâll do it when I get home.â
While saying that, he turned around and was ready to leave.
Seeing this, Gu Changle called after him, âYou are leaving?â
âI have an online meeting today. I need to go.â
âBut you didnât mention it yesterday.â
Usually, she was clear about Shao Tianzeâs schedule and whether he was busy.
But she didnât know about this online meeting today.
Hearing Gu Changle asking urgently, Shao Tianze said, âItâs an impromptu meeting.â
Gu Changle had no excuse to hold onto him.
She could only watch Shao Tianze leave.
After Shao Tianze left the ward, Gu Changle pursed her lips. She couldnât help but hit the bed with a fist.
Until now, Shao Tianze still showed partiality to Shao Xue.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have cared about what kind of man she would marry.
...
Shao Tianze got out of Gu Changleâs ward and drove directly back home.
Miaomiao was playing with blocks at home.
Seeing Shao Tianze was back, she smiled, âDaddy, come here. The castle that auntie built for me yesterday hasnât fallen yet.â
âWhere is your auntie?â
Shao Tianze touched Miaomiaoâs head and asked her where Shao Xue was.
Miaomiao said, âShe just went out. She hasnât come back yet.â
Hearing this, Shao Tianze frowned right away.
Miaomiao was good at reading signs. Even if she was young, she could tell Shao Tianzeâs emotion change accurately through micro-expressions.
âI wanted to have strawberries and mangoes this morning, but we ran out of these at home. Auntie probably went out to buy them for me.â
Shao Tianze smiled. He pulled Miaomiao to the front of the sofa, picking her up to sit on his lap. He asked, âIf auntie marries someone one day, she canât play with you anymore. What will you do?â
Miaomiao was surprised, âIs she going to get married?â
Why had she never heard auntie talking about it?
âYes, if she gets married, she wonât be able to live in our house and play with you all the time.â
Listening to Shao Tianze, Miaomiao felt sad suddenly, âWill she come back?â
âOf course, she will.â
Before Shao Tianze could answer, Shao Xueâs voice came from the door.
Hearing it, Miaomiao turned to her cheerfully, âAuntie.â
Shao Xue walked in with a smile. She was in a black woolen coat, carrying a delicate fruit basket in her hand.
There were dragon fruits, blueberries, bananas, grapes, mangoes, and strawberries in it.
Miaomiaoâs eyes lit up the moment she saw the basket. She looked at the basket, drooling, âAuntie, you bring me sweet fruits.â
Shao Xue smiled and handed the basket to the maid who was ready to pick it up.
âYou little foodie.â
Shao Xue walked to Miaomiao and pinched her face gently.
Miaomiao seized the chance to get into her arms.
Shao Xue hugged Miaomiao and asked her, âIs the princess in the castle?â
âOf course, I put a mermaid princess in.â Miaomiao pointed her finger at the green-haired princess by the small window of the castle. âThe princess and the prince are together. She will not turn into foam and vanish in the air.â
âGood.â Shao Xue nodded, then smoothed Miaomiaoâs hair with tender eyes.
Shao Tianze followed Shao Xueâs sight and had a glance at the little mermaid doll in the castle built by blocks. He said, âI turned down men who Changle chose for you.â
Hearing this, Shao Xue was a little surprised, âHow come?â
Did Gu Changle mess it up?
Shao Tianze didnât let her continue to date with those gross men.
Shao Tianze replied, âShe doesnât have an eye for good men. You do.â
Shao Xue nodded, âThatâs right.â
She wasnât being polite. It was clear that she didnât fancy Gu Changleâs poor taste.
And she didnât like that blind date.
Shao Tianze said, âDo you have anyone in your mind?â
Shao Xue looked at Shao Tianze, âDo you really want to get me married so soon?â
Shao Tianze took a breath, âNo, but youâre a woman now. Moreover, our family is losing power. I want to find a good man for you when I still can.â
Shao Xue lowered her eyes as if she had been worried about something. She said, âI know what happened with our family. I wish I could help you. Brother, tell me, who do you want me to marry?â
Shao Tianze had already thought it over in his heart.
There were a few families who wished to form an alliance with the Shao Family, but some of them seemed to have ulterior motives.
Shao Tianze pursed his lips, âI have to think on that.â
Shao Xue nodded and said to him, âI am your sister as well as a member of the Shao Family. I hope the family I will marry into is one that can help you.â
What she said delighted Shao Tianze.
Even if Shao Xue didnât mention this, it was under the consideration of Gu Changle and Shao Tianze in the beginning.
Although they wanted to expel Shao Xue, they also desired to seek some benefits while doing it.
After all, the Shao Family was no longer as good as it had been when Gu Changge just passed away.
Shao Tianze pursed his lips, falling into silence. He gently rubbed his eyebrows.
Shao Xue had said what she wanted to say. She looked down at Miaomiao, âMiaomiao, what kind of man do you want me to marry?â
Miaomiao thought for a while. Then she answered, âAuntie, you are pretty. He must be handsome, just as good-looking as my daddy.â
Shao Xue couldnât help but smile, âBut itâs hard to find someone as handsome as your father.â
Moreover, what was the good of finding a handsome but ungrateful and ambitious man as a husband?
It could only accelerate her own demise.
Thinking of this, Shao Xue couldnât help but feel sorry for her parents.
They worked so hard to support Shao Tianze for many years, but in the end, this ungrateful man took their lives.
It was really pathetic.
While thinking of it, Shao Xue couldnât help taking a breath, suppressing the pain and sorrow in her heart.
Shao Tianze was also frowning, thinking that which family in Yuncheng was reliable and available.
While they were each meditating, the telephone in the living room rang.
The maid picked up the phone, âHello.â
Then she turned around and said to Shao Tianze, âMr. Shao, itâs for you.â
Shao Tianze twisted his eyebrows, âWho is it?â
âA call from Harbor City.â
âFrom Harbor City?â
Shao Tianze didnât know who was calling from Harbor City.
But Shao Xue lowered her eyes at ease.
It must be from the Luo Family.
Mr. Luo acted fast. It seemed that he was going to reveal a marriage proposal to Shao Xue.
