I Advise You To Like Me As Soon As Possible

Chapter 8

<Translated By Crystal >

The old aunties were strong, but Ning Wan, who had the advantage in equipment, was stronger. When she spoke, no one could shout her down.

In no time at all, the battle was won and Ning Wan one-sidedly declared the war over. "Go on, everyone, go home, don't keep thinking about Lawyer Fu, and don't worry about the marriage of your children and relatives. Your children and grandchildren have their own fates, and finding a partner and getting married may not make them happy. Everything happens in its own time! Don't try to push it!"

Although unreconciled and unwilling, the old aunties knew that they no longer had any hope of demanding Fu Zheng's contact information. Anyway, it was true that their own children were hardly in a hurry to be pushed onto blind dates either, so they could only allow Ning Wan to herd them out. As they filed out reluctantly, they gazed bitterly at Fu Zheng as if he were a piece of fancy discounted pork at the supermarket that they hadn't managed to get their hands on.

"That's what you get for not listening to your senior's words."

At first, Ning Wan had thought to kick him while he was down, with maybe a couple extra kicks while she was at it. But when she turned to look at him, she found that the haughty young master looked haggard and somehow a little pitiful, as if he were doubting life.

She softened. "Alright, alright, life just trampled you a little. No big deal! You can just change your photo."

Fu Zheng looked at Ning Wan, his countenance ugly and his tone unpleasant. "Why are you still obsessed with my ugly photos? Did I offend you by growing up to look like this?"

"I say, Fu Zheng, why do you have such a stick up your butt? Didn't those old ladies just teach you a lesson just now? It isn't safe for a man to be so attractive! How do you think they all found you? It's because you published your ID photo on the neighbourhood website!"

Fu Zheng frowned. He peered suspiciously at Ning Wan.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes. "The largest blind date group in Rong City, 'A Thousand Miles of Marriage,' was originally founded right here in our Yuelan Neighbourhood. It's now a well-known brand name. Just to get in, old aunties from other neighbourhoods have to go through an interview process."

"After an auntie officially enters the group by passing the written interview, their performance is rated. Every member must recommend at least one quality single young lady and one quality single young man every month, and must matchmake a young couple every year. Failing to do so means being kicked out from the group." Ning Wan shot a glance at Fu Zheng. "In my experience, as soon as a photo is publicized on the community website and public account it reaches the blind date group within half an hour. Everyone has a quota to fill, and such a beautiful piece of 'merchandise' like yourself is insanely rare, so of course they're all going to come here and 'inspect the goods'. And if they don't find any defects, they will attempt to lay their hands on you."

“……”

Fu Zheng had no words. At that moment there was a song stuck in his head - The city is too dark, I want to go home to the country1.

He suddenly felt that he, this senior lawyer, had knowledge only worthy to be used for farming out in the country...

At that moment, he finally understood why Ning Wan had been so insistent on a hideous photo. He had completely misjudged her, she really had done it out of kindness...

Ning Wan was unaware of Fu Zheng's complex inner emotions. "Hurry up and send me some super ugly photo," she urged, "or who knows how many bees and butterflies your current one will keep attracting."
