Chapter 152: Matchmaking God of War

"Hongmei, I came today to wish you an early New Year. I was afraid you'd be busy after the holiday, so I brought the person today."

Aunt Ma set the gift box she had bought on the ground, a big smile plastered across her face.

"Oh, this young man is so handsome."

The woman's mother caught sight of Jiang Linyuan and couldn't help praising him.

This Aunt Ma really worked efficiently, picking someone this good-looking.

"I heard you're still in college, a student, right? Ah, your aunt didn't prepare anything, but let me give you a red envelope. Consider it an early wish for a happy New Year."

As she spoke, she enthusiastically pulled out two large red envelopes and tried to stuff them into Jiang Linyuan's arms.

She really wanted her daughter to get married, huh.

Jiang Linyuan didn't take them, smiling instead:

Oh, this young man sure knows how to talk.

"Alright then, Auntie will give you a big one when the time comes!"

The woman's mother said with a beaming smile, then leaned close to her daughter's ear and lowered her voice:

"This boy is good. You need to hold on tight!"

"Mom, you didn't tell me before that he's a college student! If he were any younger, he could be my student!"

The woman's face was full of embarrassment, yet she couldn't help stealing another glance at Jiang Linyuan's face. He really was handsome.

Jiang Linyuan also took a look.

【Target: Wu Zhiyun, Bad Woman Level: C】

C-card, looks like she wasn't an innocent woman either.

But that's none of my business. Let's end this farce quickly.

After hearing her daughter's words, Wu's mother was afraid she'd mess up this matchmaking again and encouraged:

"What are you afraid of? It's only a difference of seven or eight years. That's nothing."

After saying that, she turned to look at Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, a smile on her face:

"Aiya, let the young people communicate more. We can just chat among ourselves."

"Yeah, yeah, Hongmei, how have you been lately?"

Aunt Ma also smiled as she spoke.

Mother Jiang looked at the two of them, speechless.

But still, a smiling face never invites a slap. Besides, it was New Year's Eve today, and she really didn't want to ruin the good mood.

The older one definitely wouldn't be interested in this woman, and she had the younger one to keep her company. Let them deal with it.

"Then come inside and sit for a bit."

The group entered the house, leaving Wu Zhiyun, Jiang Linyuan, and Jiang Zhiyao standing outside.

"Uh, this is..."

Wu Zhiyun looked at Jiang Zhiyao, who was holding Jiang Linyuan's hand, unsure of what to say.

She had just seen Jiang Linyuan's photo and rushed over without asking anything else, not knowing the full situation.

"My name is Jiang Zhiyao. I'm a distant relative of his."

Jiang Zhiyao took the initiative to introduce herself.

What kind of distant relative spends New Year's Eve together?

Wu Zhiyun smiled and said:

"Haha, sounds like she's probably a cousin. Well, I'm Wu Zhiyun. And what do you go by, handsome?"

After a brief self-introduction, Wu Zhiyun added:

"How about we walk and talk? I noticed a river on the way here with a nice view."

"Someone drowned in that river years ago."

Jiang Zhiyao said.

Can't this woman read the room? And besides, I'm here for a matchmaking, and you're just standing there the whole time? Get lost!

"Alright, I'll be direct. We're not a good match."

Jiang Linyuan looked at Wu Zhiyun and said bluntly.

Jiang Zhiyao beside him held her head high, looking very proud.

"True, you're so young and still in college. I'm sure you don't lack girls who like you."

Wu Zhiyun sighed inwardly.

If only I were younger. He's way too young.

"Ah, if I were a few years younger and met you, that would've been great."

She said.

"Well, even if I were younger, I'd still think we're not a good match."

Jiang Linyuan said.

"Those words really hurt, you know."

Wu Zhiyun sighed, pulled a random stool over, and sat down, unable to hold back her complaints:

"Am I really that bad of a catch? Counting you, this is already my thirteenth failed matchmaking this year."

"Then you really have a wealth of experience."

What kind of matchmaking god of war?

Jiang Linyuan looked Wu Zhiyun up and down. She was dressed exquisitely, wore light makeup, and had long hair. She was the typical urban beauty type.

Someone like this shouldn't have to resort to matchmaking.

"I know what you're thinking. You think my personality is the problem, so that's why I keep failing at matchmaking, right?"

Wu Zhiyun felt that since Jiang Linyuan was young, and since the matchmaking had failed and they wouldn't see each other again, she might as well be straightforward:

"I'm twenty-eight this year. I work as a teacher at a high school in Shanghai. My income is stable. Both my parents are in the civil service system. So naturally, I have a bit of high standards. I wanted to find someone whose conditions were better than mine."

Speaking to this point, she couldn't help but sigh again:

"But those rich men don't actually want to settle down with me. They just want to have some fun while I'm still young. So I started looking for someone around my age with similar conditions."

"But the infuriating thing is, they don't want me either. They think I'm too old!"

"So I had no choice but to keep lowering my standards."

Jiang Linyuan and Jiang Zhiyao exchanged a glance. They found this more entertaining than the Spring Festival Gala, so they pulled up stools and sat beside her, listening to her rant about her history of failed matchmakings.

Including, but not limited to, her matchmaking target being the father of one of her students; another time she hit it off with a matchmaking target and thought it was a sure thing, only for him to tell her he was a bottom...

Of course, there were also men who liked her, but she didn't like them back.

"If I had known, I would have gotten married when I was younger."

After speaking, Wu Zhiyun let out another long sigh.

Jiang Linyuan didn't have much to say. Compared to some weird existences, Wu Zhiyun was a relatively normal person.

"So why don't you look for a single male teacher at your own school?"

Jiang Zhiyao asked curiously while cracking sunflower seeds.

"My school is an international high school, what people call a 'rich kid school.' There aren't many people like me from ordinary families."

Wu Zhiyun pursed her lips:

"And I can't stand their personalities either."

"Rich kid school? What era is this, still using terms like that?"

Jiang Linyuan said.

"It's actually just a regular high school, just with slightly higher tuition. It's just a nickname."

Seeing that Jiang Linyuan was interested in this topic, Wu Zhiyun continued.

Even if the matchmaking didn't work out, it was still a pleasure to chat with a handsome guy.

"But the students in there really are little princes and princesses. Yet at the same time, they're not much different from regular high school students. Let me tell you, a few years ago, a girl in my class publicly confessed in front of everyone."

"You'll never guess what happened next?"

Wu Zhiyun deliberately dragged out her words, trying to keep them in suspense.

"And then? How did the school handle it?"

Jiang Linyuan asked along.

Wu Zhiyun spoke with excitement:

"The girl didn't confess to a boy! She confessed to another girl! You know, a lesbian, right?"

As she said this, she lowered her voice again:

"The girl who was confessed to was disgusted. Her family made the confessing girl transfer schools."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I heard there was more to this story. It's really not that simple."

This story sounded a bit familiar.

Jiang Linyuan scratched his head and asked:

"The girl who was disgusted, is her surname Su by any chance?"

Wu Zhiyun was stunned:

"How do you know? I remember this story didn't get around."

Case solved. So this Wu Zhiyun was actually Xiao Su's teacher.

Small world.

"More to it? What kind of more to it?"

Jiang Linyuan asked again.

"I heard this from my students, so I don't know if it's true. Just take it as gossip."

Wu Zhiyun said:

"That girl who confessed to the Su girl, someone encouraged her to do it."

Great, another piece of Xiao Su's dark history.

But that doesn't seem right. With Xiao Su's personality, would she just let that slide?

Wouldn't she get her revenge hard?

I'll interrogate her about it when I see her tomorrow.
