Chapter 50 Godmother
The man's words seemed light, but they were like a fine needle, unexpectedly piercing the most vulnerable corner of Xu Qingman's heart.
In a very brief moment, she felt something inside her chest shatter silently.
A subtle yet sharp shiver ran from her heart to her fingertips, making her almost unable to hold the wine glass firmly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If you don't get married, your parents are waiting to hold their grandchildren!"
Su Jie asked with a smile, "How did you know my parents are waiting to hold their grandson?"
"Your parents worked so hard to raise you and send you to school so you could succeed."
Xu Qingman gripped the clear wine glass tightly, took a small sip, and said, "They have no other thoughts now, they're just waiting for you to get married, have children, and then hold your grandchildren. That will complete their mission in this life."
Su Jie shook his head. "I'm not that old, and my parents aren't pressuring me to get married yet."
"Wait two more years, until you're over twenty-five, then see if they'll start pressuring you."
Xu Qingman said, "You should do what you're supposed to do at your age!"
Looking at the woman opposite him, Su Jie suddenly said, "Sister Man, since you care so much about my marriage, I might as well make you my godmother."
"puff--"
Xu Qingman had just taken a sip of wine when she spat it out.
Then a burning sensation in her throat made her cough incessantly.
"Cough—cough cough—"
"Cough cough—"
……
Seeing that he had defeated his opponent in one move, Su Jie smiled and went over to pat her on the back, "Godmother, why are you so excited?"
"Cough—you—"
"Cough cough—"
Xu Qingman tried hard to calm herself down, but the man's next blow made her cough up tears.
Su Jie gently patted his back, smiled, and handed him a tissue. "Don't talk."
Xu Qingman nodded, casually took a tissue and wiped her mouth to avoid looking too disheveled.
Godmother?
Are all Gen Z kids this wild these days?
She never even thought of that!
He also poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Su Jie.
"Sister Man, don't worry about me finding a girlfriend!"
"Are relationships between men and women so complicated these days?"
"So many girls?"
"If I were to marry the wrong person, I might end up with someone like that."
"Even if I started my own business and became my own boss, I still wouldn't earn enough to satisfy her."
"If our relationship breaks down later and we get divorced, I'll have to give half of the assets I've worked so hard to accumulate to my ex-husband."
After taking a sip of water, Xu Qingman felt much better.
"Where are there so many gold diggers?"
"I'm still a gold digger!"
"What are you young people thinking about all day long?"
"Whether she's a gold digger or a 'green tea' girl, did you think you wouldn't know when you got to know her?"
"It's nothing more than seeing how pretty she is and not wanting to part with her!"
"I have a wide network of connections, so it will be easy for me to find you a decent, honest woman to marry."
Su Jie shook his head firmly, "I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake!"
"drink wine!"
Xu Qingman picked up her wine glass. "Since you're a man, then drink with me!"
Su Jie smiled and touched it, "Whether I drink or not, I'm a man."
As we were talking, the Western food we had just ordered started to arrive one after another.
"You should try it."
Xu Qingman smiled and picked up her knife and fork. "You've never had Western food before, so I don't know if you'll be used to it?"
Su Jie tried the pasta. "It tastes pretty good."
"As long as you can get used to the food, it's fine."
Xu Qingman laughed and said, "Our stomachs are different from theirs. I have a friend who can't get used to Western food."
After taking a few bites, she suddenly said, "I've arranged to meet a girl for you this weekend. Go check her out then."
Su Jie continued eating, pretending not to hear.
Xu Qingman reached out to grab the man's ear, "I'm talking to you!"
"I'm deaf."
Su Jie chuckled and tilted his head to the side. "I can't hear anything!"
"This girl is very beautiful, has a great temperament, and most importantly, is exceptionally capable at work."
Withdrawing her hand, Xu Qingman said softly, "I only got her to agree to this meeting because of her boss's status."
"If you start your own business in the future, having her help will definitely make things much easier."
Su Jie remained silent.
If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent.
Xu Qingman used her trump card, "I'll send you the specific time and location in a bit!"
Su Jie suddenly asked, "Godmother, do you have a terminal illness?"
"Don't call me godmother!"
Xu Qingman rolled her eyes. "Am I that old?"
"You're not old."
Su Jie laughed and said, "But you really have a lot of things to do!"
"Don't you like your older sister?"
Xu Qingman smiled and said, "That girl is twenty-six this year, a graduate student from a finance university, exactly three years older than you!"
"I've already inquired; she's never had a boyfriend before, and her record is spotless."
Su Jie simply didn't believe it. "How do you know she's completely innocent and has never had a boyfriend before?"
"Are you tempted?"
Xu Qingman covered her mouth and laughed, "I knew you men were like that!"
Su Jie shook his head. "I didn't say I was interested."
"She's currently one of my assistants, and I value her highly."
Xu Qingman explained with a smile, "All of my assistants are people I know well."
"I give them high salaries and benefits, so naturally I also have high expectations of them."
Su Jie asked curiously, "You, as the boss, expect others to be completely innocent and have never been in a relationship?"
"I only look at their work abilities and will not interfere in their love lives."
Xu Qingman shook her head. "It's just that I happen to know about her personal situation."
"My parents died early, and I was raised by my grandparents. When I was in school, I devoted myself to my studies, hoping to change my destiny through knowledge."
Noticing the man's skeptical look, she continued, "Young man, when you stand in a high enough position, you'll have enough resources at your disposal."
"You can choose the person you like best from hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people."
"The current social atmosphere is not good, but with a large enough base, there will always be someone who meets your requirements."
"She's the best person I chose from hundreds of applicants!"
"The hundreds of applicants I mentioned are not ordinary applicants. The minimum requirement is that they are graduate students from key universities, and many of them are even doctoral students."
Su Jie nodded. "Perhaps."
These words were like a wake-up call; he now basically believed what the woman said.
When you have enough resources at your disposal, you'll definitely be able to find those special people in the vast sea of humanity.
Don't even mention 26 years old, you can find someone even 62!
The prerequisite is one word—money!
Xu Qingman asked with a smile, "So you're agreeing to go and take a look?"
Su Jie shook his head. "Answer one question to me first."
Xu Qingman asked, "What's the problem?"
Su Jie asked directly, "I just asked you that question: Do you have a terminal illness?"
"Did you get a terminal illness?"
Xu Qingman rolled her eyes again. "You really want me to have a terminal illness?"
"Of course I don't want you to have a terminal illness."
Su Jie shook his head with a smile, "I just don't understand, you clearly like me, so why do you keep rejecting me?"
"I'm so old, an old auntie, and you just called me godmother."
Xu Qingman smiled and retorted, "What exactly do you like about an old woman like me?"
