Lao Zhang understood that Jiang Qiao had gone too far in the beginning, so he didn't know what to say. He nodded and agreed with Li Hong's solution.
Li Hong hung up the phone and went straight to Jiujiu's room. She repeated Lao Zhang's words to Jiujiu in a low voice.
After that, Li Hong asked, "Xiaoxue, what do you think of this?"
When Li Hong talked about how good Jiangqiao's material conditions were, Jiujiu knew that Li Hong must be interested in Jiangqiao's material conditions. When Li Hong asked Jiujiu what she thought about it, Jiujiu got up from the bed again and looked at Li Hong, asking, "Mom, do you think someone who disrespects me the first time we meet will respect me in the future?"
Li Hong said, "Well …"
Just now, Old Zhang had drawn the picture so well that she had overlooked it.
Indeed, people said that the first impression was the most important. However, Jiang Qiao didn't take Jiujiu seriously the first time they met. No matter how good his parents' promise was, they would still have to live with each other in the future. If Jiang Qiao didn't take Jiujiu seriously, what was the point of having a good material wealth?
Li Hong thought about it and agreed. However, she couldn't let go of Jiang Qiao's family wealth. She muttered, "Then I'll tell them that you don't want to."
Although she said that, Li Hong still felt that it was a pity to give up such a good man.
Jiujiu sighed when she heard the pity in Li Hong's words. She said to Li Hong softly, "Mom, have you ever thought about what would happen to me if the boy I stopped today didn't want to help me? Jiang Qiao insulted me the first time we met. Now, he said that he was trying to test whether I like money or love.
Not to mention that our family doesn't love money, even if he wanted to test me, there are many ways. But he used the most hurtful way. In the end, he doesn't take me seriously. From the beginning to the end, he never thought of respecting my feelings. A man like this, even if our family has mountains of gold and silver, we can't have him. "
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Li Hong knew that Jiujiu really disliked Jiang Qiao. She sighed in her heart and went to reply to Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang was silent for a long time after Li Hong said that Jiujiu didn't want to help him. Then Li Hong heard Lao Zhang ask her, "Is there really no other way? Jiang Qiao told me that he likes Xiaoxue. Why don't you ask him to apologize to Xiaoxue and try to contact her again? "
Li Hong said, "Old Zhang, I know you have good intentions, but you also know that children nowadays are different from us when we were in love. It's fine as long as the parents say it's okay. They have their own ideas now. It's not something that elders like us can interfere with. No matter whether Jiang Qiao was in the wrong today or not, let's just let it go. Alright, I still have something to do at home.
Li Hong hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Not long after Li Hong hung up the phone, Ding Bo came home.
As soon as Ding Bo got home, he looked at Li Hong who was watching TV in the living room and asked, "What did you say to Lao Zhang? Why did he keep apologizing to me? He kept telling me that he was sorry."
Li Hong stared at the TV and said without looking up, "Lao Zhang called you."
Ding Bo hung his coat on the hanger and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Xiaoxue went to meet the guy he told her about a few days ago. He said that Xiaoxue looked much older than she did in the photos and asked her if she was sick. Then he said that he already had a girlfriend and asked Xiaoxue to watch a movie with him and take photos with him so that he could use them to annoy his girlfriend. Don't you think that's infuriating?"
Ding Bo froze, and his expression became gloomy. Although Mr. Zhang and he had been friends for decades, this matter was related to his daughter's lifelong happiness. When he had introduced Ding Bo to him, he had promised him many things and kept saying how good the boy was. As a result, he had become like this after meeting him for the first time.
"What did he say?"
"He said that the guy's family is too rich. The previous blind dates were all for money. He was afraid that Xiaoxue was also after money, so he came up with this idea to test Xiaoxue."
Ding Bo said, "Test? How dare he call this a test? "
How was this a test? It was practically a blatant insult. This was really going too far.
No wonder Mr. Zhang had apologized to him and asked him to put in a good word for Li Hong so that she wouldn't be too angry.
He knew his wife's temper very well. She was not a person who would get angry over a little thing. So when Lao Zhang said that, he was a little puzzled. What on earth did he say to make Li Hong so angry?
Hearing Li Hong's words, he realized that he would be mad too, let alone Li Hong.
However, he had been friends with Lao Zhang for decades. It was inevitable that they would be hurt if they quarreled over such a small thing. Ding Bo was angry for a while. Then he comforted Li Hong and said, "Lao Zhang didn't do it on purpose. He just wanted to introduce the guy to Xiaoxue because he was from a rich family."
"Even if his family is rich, he can't bully her like this."
Ding Bo raised his hand and patted Li Hong's back. He comforted her softly, "In fact, it's a good thing. It's better to show your true colors when you meet him for the first time."
Li Hong thought about it and agreed. She nodded and let the matter pass.
After Lao Zhang called Ding Bo to apologize, he didn't hear back from Ding Bo a day later. He guessed that it was not going to work out, so he called Jiang Qiao back and said that Jiujiu was not willing to be his girlfriend.
Jiang Qiao had always thought that he was doing Jiujiu a favor by being with Jiujiu. When he heard that Jiujiu was not willing to be his girlfriend, he didn't lose his temper in front of Lao Zhang. After hanging up the phone, he directly called Jiujiu.
Jiujiu received Jiang Qiao's call on her way home from work.
Hearing Jiang Qiao's exasperated roar from the other end of the phone, Jiujiu immediately moved the phone to a meter away from her ear. When there was no more shouting from the other end of the phone, she said, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Qiao said, "Didn't you hear me just now?"
Jiujiu said, "You were too noisy. I don't want to listen to you."
Jiujiu's words made Jiang Qiao's heart burn with anger again.
Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "I heard from Lao Zhang that you don't want to be with me. Why?"
"I thought you knew why."
How could he treat a woman like this when they met for the first time? No woman would be with him.
