Because she understood that Fang Shiyou’s words were not just unpleasant, but they were also insulting. “Humph! Just based on your words, I think Uncle Sun is a hundred times better than you are. Maybe even a thousand times! Uncle Sun treats me like his own birth daughter, and I often take myself to be Uncle Sun’s daughter too! I guess you don’t know that I was the one who persuaded Mom to get married to Uncle Sun when she was still hesitating. I even told Mom that she would regret it for her whole life if she were to miss out on Uncle Sun. That was why Mom agreed to Uncle Sun’s proposal!”

Since Fang Shiyou’s words were already so unpleasant, Xu Ling Ling did not mind speaking her mind and being direct either.

She was not an ignorant three-year-old toddler who would be deceived by Fang Shiyou’s lies. She had eyes to see for herself as to whether Sun Guohong was a good guy or a bad guy. She could feel it too. At the very least, she did not feel anything bad about Sun Guohong. On the other hand, her birth father, Fang Shiyou, had made her feel utterly disgusted with his words today.

She found it hard to believe that those words were spoken by a father to his underage biological daughter! He was perverted!

With these provoking words aimed at Fang Shiyou, Xu Ling Ling raised her chin and walked away proudly. Fang Shiyou still wanted to scold her and even wanted to chase after Xu Ling Ling, pull on her hair, and ask if she had gone mad.

It turned out that Xu Shengnan had not agreed at first, but it was because of Xu Ling Ling’s help that Sun Guohong had finally succeeded in proposing to Xu Shengnan. Upon learning of this fact, Fang Shiyou suffered a huge blow and felt that he had raised his daughter for nothing. Whose daughter was Xu Ling Ling? Whose side was she on?

This was incredulous and ridiculous!

But when Fang Shiyou saw the hundred yuan that Xu Ling Ling had thrown onto the table, he refused to leave. The two cups of milk tea probably cost only fifty yuan, so there would be half of that hundred yuan left. He did not want to let the waiter take that change.

And so, Fang Shiyou sat down patiently and instructed the waiter to get him his change quickly. His time was tight. After he was done here, he still had to take care of matters elsewhere. As he said that, Fang Shiyou stretched out his neck and gazed in Xu Ling Ling’s direction. Now, the only one who could change Xu Shengnan’s mind about marrying Sun Guohong was Xu Ling Ling alone.

His daughter now favored an outsider over him, so he would have to find a way to pull his daughter back to his side and make her stand on his side before the two of them got married.

Unfortunately, in order to get his change of fifty yuan, Fang Shiyou never got a second chance to interact with Xu Ling Ling alone until the day of Xu Shengnan and Sun Guohong’s wedding.

Upon finding out that the two of them had already registered their marriage legally and were now recognized as man and wife in the People’s Republic of China, Fang Shiyou was so taken aback that he finished off a pack of beer all by himself. He got himself drunk with no apparent reason and howled at the moon, cursing and swearing that Xu Shengnan was a liar who had cheated on him. When the two of them got married, Xu Shengnan had sworn that she would never leave nor forsake him until the moment their lives ended.

He would still have many more years to live, but Xu Shengnan had taken some other man’s hand and stepped into the church for the second time. She had completely forgotten about his existence and their past together. Could it be that Xu Shengnan had not meant a single word she had said when they had gotten married?

It was already troublesome enough for Fang Shiyou to try to win Xu Shengnan back while she was still unmarried. Now that Xu Shengnan had held her wedding with Sun Guohong, Fang Shiyou stood no chance at all. As such, he wallowed in self-pity and got himself drunk for three consecutive days and did not even bother returning to work. Thankfully, Fang Shiyou’s salary was not high since his salary was docked whenever he applied for leave. If it got any more serious, he would not even be able to keep his job.

With his monthly salary, not only did he have to support his family, but he also had to pay off his mortgage. As such, Fang Shiyou was almost never late to work, and neither did he leave work early. In that case, his salary would not be docked. Because Fang Shiyou had such a good track record, he applied for a three-day leave to stay at home under the pretext that he was not feeling well.

Otherwise, if Fang Shiyou were to go to work in such a mental state, he might not only make a slew of mistakes, but he might even lose his job! If Fang Shiyou lost his job again, putting aside how he would live, Fang Shiyou would be unable to repay his mortgage. Then, in no time, even this house that he had not paid off would be taken back by the bank.

No matter how messed up Fang Shiyou’s life was, Xu Shengnan, who had just gotten remarried, smiled blissfully. Only after meeting Sun Guohong did Xu Shengnan learn that a woman could have such a life after marriage. She had never thought that it would be possible after her marriage to Fang Shiyou. It turned out that after men got together with women, household chores were not only the responsibility of women, but men could take on that responsibility too. And when a man was doing that, a woman could rest comfortably in front of the television with her legs crossed and snack idly on some melon seeds in her hand just like men did.

It was the first time she was enjoying life like that, and it did not feel bad!

Compared to her previous marriage life, this was so much more blissful. Xu Shengnan felt that the second best thing she had done in her whole life was to listen to her daughter’s advice to marry Sun Guohong. If she had married any other man apart from Sun Guohong, she would not be living such a happy and leisurely life!

From Mrs. Fang to Mrs. Sun, Xu Shengnan’s life improved by leaps and bounds.

“Mom, are you still intending on being a matchmaker in the future? I think it’s not right for you to be a matchmaker, but those couples that you’ve brought together are all doing well! You have a hundred percent success rate!” San Bao gave her mom a thumbs-up. She felt that her mom could have some talent in this area. Otherwise, no matter how much effort one put in, it was bound to fail. But as for her mom who was unwilling to be a matchmaker, she sealed the deal once she put her foot down. The quality of her mom’s work was even higher than other people’s.

San Bao stroked her chin. She was already twenty. If her mom introduced her to her future partner, perhaps she would be able to find a husband that was not only faithful to her but would also pamper her like a princess, just like her godmother, Auntie Fang Fang, and Auntie Xu had.

If that was the case, she would not even rush to find a partner for herself in the remaining two years of university. She would simply wait for her mom to introduce someone to her.

“Matchmaking? No way!” Qiao Nan, frustrated, answered. It was not just San Bao who had posed this question. Many others had too. She did not even know when her reputation as a ‘matchmaker’ had started to spread.
