Chapter 574: Chapter 574 You Wishful Thinking

Chiang Qing didn’t want to not come back, but suddenly her parents had all sorts of issues, saying they felt unwell or that they had argued and were in a bad mood, pulling at her not to leave, essentially dragging her feet on the return journey.

This time, she was pulled into this fancy café by Lu Shufen and others because an aunt she hadn’t seen in a long time wanted to see her.

As soon as she saw the other party, parents with their son, Chiang Qing understood right away.

"Old Chiang, looking younger, huh..."

"Old Zeng, long time no see."

After some polite small talk, everyone sat down, and soon Chiang Qing learned all about the man opposite her, the one with big glasses and a skinny, frail appearance.

A returnee from a prestigious university abroad, he had only recently come back to the country and was now working as a section chief in some government department at the age of twenty-seven. Because he was usually so immersed in his studies, he preferred peace and had an honest nature, and thus he had delayed his marriage for so long.

At this point, what else was there for Chiang Qing not to understand? This was a setup for a blind date.

Looking at the feeble man with no hint of masculinity, she couldn’t believe her parents wanted to introduce someone like him to her.

Chiang Qing kept a cold face throughout the meeting, answering only when asked, resulting in an incredibly awkward atmosphere. Once back home, she immediately blew up at Lu Shufen and the rest.

"Dad, Mom, what is this all about? Without saying a word, you introduce someone like this to me, what’s the meaning of this? You both clearly know that I have someone in my heart who I like," Chiang Qing said furiously.

"What’s wrong with Little Zeng? A prestigious university graduate who has been abroad, he looks good, comes from a good family, and now enjoys a stable government job. Why wouldn’t he be a good match for you?" Lu Shufen said indifferently.

Hearing this, Chiang Qing became even more agitated and shouted, "Mom, you know perfectly well that I..."

"Don’t talk about that Qi Taiguo. We will not agree. I see that you want to anger me to death," Lu Shufen interrupted her, "We can’t afford to lose that much face."

Chiang Qing exploded in anger, "If that’s the case, then you and Dad should never have gotten married and had me."

Lu Shufen’s face changed, and she grew furious, her chest heaving as she pointed at Chiang Qing, "You..."

"That’s enough!" Jiang Conghe, seeing his wife shaking with rage, slammed the table in his fury, "For a man, you dare to talk back to your elders? Where are your manners? I think you’ve been so charmed that you can’t even tell north from south."

Chiang Qing pursed her lips, her face stubborn, "If you could pursue love in your days, I have the right to pursue my love as well."

"Fool, does he even like you? You’re just wishfully thinking and throwing your warmth against his cold back," Jiang Conghe snapped coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chiang Qing’s expression changed several times, but she said nothing and stormed upstairs.

"Stop right there, you..."

"Forget it," Lu Shufen waved her hand and massaged her temples, looking exhausted, "She’s always been stubborn, don’t you know?"

"Just seeing her attitude annoys and angers me," Jiang Conghe said.

"That’s because you spoiled her," Lu Shufen glared at him and then continued with a headache, "I knew from the start this blind date thing wouldn’t work. How could she easily submit? If that were the case, could she still be our daughter?"

Jiang Conghe deflated, "Then what do we do? Just let her be willful like this?"

He felt that if Chiang Qing kept being infatuated with that Qi Taiguo, one day she would hit a dead end, and by then, it wouldn’t be as easy to turn things around as it is now.

Lu Shufen, pinching the bridge of her nose, was at a loss. What to do? Was this simply the fate shared between mother and daughter?
