Chapter 216 -188 The Matchmaker Brings the Opportunity

Jiang Bo stretched out his hand to lift the foam box, but as he lifted it, he found it was very heavy.

The yellow croaker inside weighed nearly fifty pounds, and with the crushed ice on top, the actual weight must have been over seventy pounds.

This weight, for a middle-aged man who spent most of his time in an office, was manageable, but definitely not easy.

Jiang Luoluo noticed her father was struggling and quickly handed her suitcase to Li Ying, then stepped forward to help.

Having seen Chu Mingcheng lifting it easily onto the vehicle earlier, she thought it would be easy to move!

Plus, the driver had only lowered it to the ground, which she hadn’t noticed, so she assumed her father could handle it just like Chu Mingcheng.

“Dad, let me help you.”

“No need, I can manage.”

“Stop being stubborn, we still have a long way to go home!”

Jiang Bo thought about it and agreed, so he and his daughter grabbed it on each side and carried it back together.

“Luoluo, what’s so heavy inside this box?”

Jiang Luoluo playfully smiled, “Guess!”

“…” If it were his wife instead of his daughter, Jiang Bo felt he would definitely give her a good thumping tonight, even if he couldn’t straighten his back the next day.

They say men are fickle, but he didn’t see himself that way.

He had faced many temptations in life, but Li Ying was just too tempting.

She was forty-six and still maintained herself very well.

Her regular exercise kept her skin very elastic, making her look like a sister when standing next to Jiang Luoluo.

Only on closer inspection could one see the tiny crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Bo didn’t bother guessing and waited until they had carried everything inside. He then grabbed some scissors and sliced the tape binding the foam box.

Upon lifting the lid and seeing rows of gleaming yellow croakers, he exclaimed in surprise, “Yellow croaker?”

“Oh, Luoluo, why did you buy so many yellow croakers?” Li Ying was also surprised when she saw them.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford yellow croaker in their home, but it was generally only served when hosting guests during the New Year.

Last year, when he hosted a New Year’s eve dinner for relatives, he had served two big yellow croakers at each table.

However, at the end of the year, the price of wild yellow croaker doubled, making it extremely expensive; just the yellow croaker for the seven tables cost tens of thousands.

With the hotel manager mentioning that deep-sea farmed had a similar taste and was more budget-friendly, he had opted for farmed ones.

Unfortunately, some picky relatives pointed it out during the meal, leading to most of the yellow croaker going untouched, which was quite embarrassing for him.

This time, his daughter suddenly brought a whole box back, and after their initial surprise, they thought she might have prepared it for the year-end celebration.

“I didn’t buy these…” Just as Jiang Luoluo was thinking about how to tell her parents about her new boyfriend, a knock on the freshly closed door sounded.

Li Ying, who was near the door, directly opened it, only to see an older woman standing at the doorway.

Seeing the visitor, she was a bit surprised but then remembered what this woman had told her some time ago.

Thinking of her daughter, who was already twenty-five, she smiled and invited the woman in.

“Oh, this must be Luoluo, you’ve become even more beautiful over the years!” The woman made a few courteous remarks first, and as soon as she entered the house and saw Jiang Luoluo standing prettily in the living room, her eyes lit up, and she immediately praised her.

Jiang Luoluo just smiled in response; she actually had no recollection of this woman.

Li Ying promptly intervened, “Luoluo, this is your Aunt Zhang, who lives right below us.”

“Hello, Aunt Zhang!” Jiang Luoluo greeted her politely.

As the guests arrived, the foam box was temporarily put aside with its lid closed again, and everyone took a seat on the living room sofa.

After chatting about family matters for a while, the woman brought up the purpose of her visit.

“Ayin, after I spoke to you about that matter last time, I specifically asked for a photo of my nephew to show you, look how handsome he is.”

Li Ying first took the phone and looked at the picture. Jiang Luoluo and Jiang Bo, sitting beside her, also leaned in.

The photo showed a rather handsome man, dressed in a suit that gave off a successful professional vibe.

“Luoluo, what do you think?” Li Ying asked.

“What do you mean?” Jiang Luoluo, not understanding the implication, asked confusedly.

“The guy in the picture!”

“Uh… pretty handsome!”

Being someone else’s big nephew, Jiang Luoluo couldn’t say much directly and had to reluctantly compliment him.

This man’s appearance and attire were indeed sharp, but it wasn’t as if she hadn’t seen handsome men before; there were many who had pursued her in the past.

Moreover, her own boyfriend’s physique and looks were top-notch, as she often felt proud thinking about those nights tracing his abs.

Mentioning looks in front of her was a bit of a joke.

Upon hearing Jiang Luoluo’s comment, the woman’s smile widened and she seized the moment to sing praises of her “nephew.”

Actually, this woman was a matchmaker. The man in the photo was dubbed her “nephew,” but in reality, he was a high-quality male client of hers.

She had arranged several blind dates for him before, but he hadn’t taken a liking to any of the prospects.

After running into Li Ying recently, she remembered the extremely lovely daughter from her family, who was also quite well off, so she set her sights on them as a potential match.

“My nephew is only thirty-two this year, an executive at a company with an annual salary around four to five hundred thousand. If you think it’s suitable, perhaps we could arrange a time for the kids to meet?”

“He’s already thirty-two? That’s a bit old! And he seems a bit short; how tall is he?” After remaining silent for a while, Jiang Bo finally couldn’t resist asking.
