Chapter 440: Chapter 439 Unexpected

Lin Aijia knew about it and didn’t agree, after all, in her heart, her son was second to none, so why should he find someone six or seven years his senior?

In fact, she also understood that in terms of conditions, the other party was no worse off, with a formal job and urban household registration, it was just the age gap that she couldn’t accept.

Later, when she heard from Yu Hongli that the person in question was someone she had seen before, in fact, the very same nurse from when Lin Aiye and the others had visited Lin Aiguo in the hospital, the one making a commotion in the corridor—that nurse.

Lin Aijia recalled the appearance of that person, and her heart had a slight change of heart.

She vaguely remembered a young and beautiful girl, who didn’t look like she was in her thirties at all.

When Lin Aijia went to the hospital to see Luo Yue quietly, her disapproval lessened somewhat.

She knew her own son well, though his temper was good and he was hardworking, he was clumsy with words and not good at all that fancy stuff.

If it weren’t for someone else’s introduction, he wouldn’t have had a chance with such a beautiful girl on his own initiative.

Although she was a bit older in years, her appearance was top-notch, and her future children would definitely be good-looking.

Lin Xia saw Lin Aijia coming to find her, and understood exactly why she was there.

She took Lin Aijia home with her, and the two sat down to talk.

Lin Aijia patted her thigh and said, "Lin Xia! I just went to the hospital and saw the girl you want to introduce! And she’s really pretty! Tall, too!

But my heart... it still feels a bit uneasy. You see, your Brother Hongli isn’t that old to be looking for someone so much older than him! And with having children... not to mention women age so much faster..."

At the end of the day, she still felt a bit of reluctance.

Lin Xia smiled wryly, "Auntie! What’s there to worry about having children? Aren’t there many women over forty having children these days? As for aging quickly—who doesn’t age, huh? Our Brother Hongli himself doesn’t look young!

If the two of them were to stand together, I think the girl would actually look younger!

You should put these concerns aside and just think about Brother Hongli.

The matter of marriage must indeed be overseen by you parents, but in the end, doesn’t it all depend on Brother Hongli’s wishes? For a homely life, it’s still essential to find someone he truly likes!"

Lin Aijia, without any choice, went on to Lin Xia, "Going by his wishes! If it’s his wishes, then he clearly fancies her already! Lin Xia, you have no idea, your Brother Hongli has been pestering me at home!

He says she’s this good and that good, oh my, he praises her to the skies!

He even said that if he misses out on her, he’d later find a divorced woman with a child!

I’ve had several children, and apart from your sister Hongmei, only this son of mine survived, how could I agree to him finding someone divorced with a child? Isn’t this basically forcing me to agree? Now even your uncle has been swayed by him at home..."

Lin Xia didn’t expect Yu Hongli to be quite the strategist; holding back a laugh, she said, "Then Auntie, you should also think about it. If you had to choose, one is an unmarried, beautiful older lady, and the other is a divorced young wife with a child, which would you pick?"

"Of course I would..." Lin Aijia didn’t finish, but Lin Xia understood what she meant.

Lin Xia persuaded her a few more words, "So, Auntie, about this matter, you really should consider what Brother Hongli wants! It’s not easy to meet someone you like in a lifetime. I’ve never seen him this eager and earnest, he must be truly interested!

If you oppose now and cause him to miss out, he might never find someone as suitable again, and he might resent you for a lifetime..."

Lin Aijia fell silent for a long while and asked about Luo Yue’s family situation, to which Lin Xia replied as Luo Xinyan had instructed, saying that Luo Yue’s father passed away young and she was raised by her mother.

"Oh no! That girl has had a tough life too, hasn’t she? Did her mother ever remarry?"

"No, she didn’t!"

Lin Aijia sighed, "Alright! I won’t interfere anymore! As long as he likes her, that’s fine! Good or bad, it’s his own business!"

How could parents overpower their children’s will!

"Aunt! You’re doing the right thing!" Lin Xia said cheerfully, "Then I’ll ask around to see when it would be suitable for them to meet..."

Lin Aijia knew that Lin Xia was capable and reliable in handling matters. "Okay! You go ahead and arrange it! Our family has no particular requests! We’ll go along with whatever they say!"

Afterward, Yu Hongli and Luo Yue quickly met and started seeing each other.

Of course, Lin Xia had to share the good news with Lu Pengcheng.

On the phone, Lu Pengcheng was silent for a while before saying, "That was quick?" He was super surprised!

He had returned to his unit, thinking of looking for someone from Spring City;

but he hadn’t expected that in the short time after he left, Luo Yue had already found a partner, and moreover, the person was a relative of Lin Xia’s family.

Lin Xia concurred, "Yeah! It is quite fast! I didn’t expect it myself!"

This pace was indeed unbelievable to her too!

Previously, she had never thought of pairing these two people together!

It could only be said that when fate arrives, nothing can stop it!

Lu Pengcheng, concerned about his daughter’s future treatment, asked, "What is your aunt’s personality like?"

He thought, since nieces are said to resemble their aunts, and Lin Xia is so impressive, her aunt might be formidable too.

Being formidable is not an issue, but it can be problematic if the mother-in-law is formidable.

Lin Xia quietly stuck out her tongue on her end, "Her personality is quite good, just a bit naggy!"

"Hm!" Being naggy wasn’t a problem, Lu Pengcheng hesitated a moment before asking, "Is Luo Yue’s mother satisfied?"

He actually wanted to ask how Luo Xinyan was doing, but probing about his future daughter-in-law like that seemed inappropriate.

"Quite satisfied! But I didn’t dare mention that you asked me to help introduce a match..." Lin Xia briefly described Luo Xinyan’s reaction and how, after the meeting, Yu Hongli immediately went to chop firewood and do chores for Luo Yue’s family.

From her brief account, Lu Pengcheng got the information he wanted to know, which eased his mind slightly, "That’s good! Lin Xia, thank you for taking care of this! In the future, I’ll still need to trouble you to look after them. If you need any money, just let me know!"

"Uncle! You’re too polite! Now, not only for your sake should I take good care of them, but for my brother Hongli’s sake too! Luo Yue is my future sister-in-law!"

Lin Xia’s words pleasantly satisfied Lu Pengcheng, who hung up the phone cheerfully.

Then, checking the time, Lin Xia called Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng’s reaction to the news was more intense than Lu Pengcheng’s, "Is your aunt’s son the person I met that day?"

"Right! The one who brought the ferns!" Lin Xia asked with a smile, "Why? From the sound of it, do you think my brother Hongli and that person are not a good match?"

"No!" Lu Zheng paused, "I’m just a bit shocked! The situation has developed too unexpectedly!"

He hadn’t even met Nurse Luo yet, and now she was dating Lin Xia’s cousin—the relationships were so entangled...
