“Come inside first!”
“Let’s talk inside!”
“Xixi, let grandma hold you…”
He Yufen enthusiastically ushered her son’s returned “daughter-in-law” into the house and then took her long-unseen eldest granddaughter from her son’s arms.
In fact, He Yufen found holding Xixi to be a bit of an effort, but after all, she was her own granddaughter, and she still liked it very much.
“Xinyi, this is my dad and your fourth aunt.”
“This lady is Aunt Feng…”
After entering the house, Yang Hao continued the introductions.
Sun Xinyi quickly greeted everyone warmly and then set the gifts she had brought to one side.
The gifts she held were actually quite normal—just some supplements and health products that the elderly could use.
However, in reality, Yibao was holding a big move!
Because before setting out, strategists Xu Yali and Zhao Yingying had given her three secret plans to reveal one by one…
“Xinyi, have an orange.”
After sitting down, Yang Huizhen peeled an orange and handed it to Sun Xinyi.
“Thank you, fourth aunt.”
Sun Xinyi took the orange and politely thanked her.
Feng Lanhua, on the other hand, was sizing up the Yang family’s “daughter-in-law,” but the more she looked, the more unbelievable she found it—this beauty could’ve matched up with a millionaire without any excess.
Feng Lanhua, who spent her days immersed in the matchmaking market, had seen too many girls. There were not a few pretty ones among them.
But Sun Xinyi was definitely among the most standout ones she had seen.
Yet, how did such a beauty end up fancying Yang Hao, an old man who was divorced and had a child!
She just couldn’t figure it out.
This girl must have flaws…
Feng Lanhua pondered in her heart and then cleared her throat to ask, “Xinyi, how old are you this year?”
“Aunt Feng, I am 24 years old.”
Sun Xinyi replied truthfully.
“Ah?”
“24 years old??”
Although Sun Xinyi looked quite young, it was common for women to maintain themselves well, so it was very common for a 30-year-old to look like she was in her twenties.
Feng Lanhua had thought that Sun Xinyi must be at least 27 or 28 years old, or even 30.
Because that would match Yang Hao’s age better.
But she was only 24 years old!
After Sun Xinyi announced her age, not only was Feng Lanhua shocked, but Yang Guomin, He Yufen, and Yang Huizhen were all surprised, showing astonished expressions on their faces.
35-year-old Yang Hao had found a 24-year-old girlfriend!
A full 11 years younger than him!
Even though society nowadays was much more open than before, such a large age difference was still a rare occurrence.
For a man to find a wife over a decade younger was seen as an achievement in the eyes of others.
Such an age difference required substantial financial resources to bridge!
But they all knew about Yang Hao’s situation.
Older, divorced, with a child!!
In such a scenario, finding a beautiful girlfriend 11 years his junior like Sun Xinyi was truly inconceivable!
Liu Yani was even more puzzled because she was 25 years old this year!
She was actually one year older than this sister-in-law…
“Xinyi, have you ever been married before?”
Being young did not necessarily mean it was her first marriage; Feng Lanhua had encountered too many girls in their early twenties who had already been divorced.
There was no helping it; divorce rates were too high now. Young people were often pampered at home. After setting up a family, they frequently refused to give ground to each other, leading to divorce at the first sign of disagreement.
Feng Lanhua had even met several who divorced in less than a month…
Therefore, she felt that a young girl like Sun Xinyi ending up with Yang Hao might also be divorced, or even have children!
Hearing her ask this, the gazes of the others naturally fell on Sun Xinyi.
Because this question was quite critical.
“No.”
Sun Xinyi shook her head, then added, “Not to mention getting married, I haven’t even had a boyfriend before; Yang is the first boyfriend I’ve had.”
“Ah?”
“This…”
Feng Lanhua opened her mouth, stunned once again.
Yang Guomin and He Yufen also wore looks of disbelief on their faces.
So their son had not only found a young and pretty girlfriend, but she was also a virgin!
In today’s social climate, this was practically a fantasy tale.
They all found it somewhat hard to believe…
Yang Hao wore a faint smile on his face; if he had not tried it himself and the system hadn’t rewarded him, he wouldn’t have believed it either!
But the fact was, some girls did indeed preserve their purity.
Although it was hard to believe Sun Xinyi’s words, this issue wasn’t one they could delve into.
Nevertheless, from everyone’s point of view, it was still credible for Sun Xinyi to say she hadn’t been married before, since it’s possible to find out if someone has been married before, and there was no point in lying about that!
And now, Sun Xinyi already had three key features identified: 24 years old, unmarried, beauty!
There must be some issues with her family…
Feng Lanhua thought for a moment, then asked, “Xinyi, where are you from, what do your parents do? Are you an only child in the family?”
Facing Aunt Feng’s barrage of questions, Sun Xinyi remained calm because her strategist, Xu Yali, had already prepared her for these inquiries beforehand.
“I’m from Jingmen. Both my parents are workers, and I have a younger sister in her third year of high school,”
Sun Xinyi replied concisely.
Feng Lanhua’s eyebrows twitched slightly; there was nothing to criticize about the family background. Although the family wasn’t wealthy, since both parents were workers, they would have secure retirements.
Without a younger brother, there was no inherent condition for becoming an obsessive supporter of a younger brother.
Where then was the issue?
The family was fine, and so were her personal circumstances.
Could it be that her education level was too low?
With this thought, Feng Lanhua immediately asked, “Xinyi, which university did you graduate from?”
“Aunt Feng, I graduated from the Jiangcheng Sports Institute…”
Sun Xinyi answered truthfully.
“The Sports Institute?”
“That’s a bachelor’s degree, right?” asked Feng Lanhua.
“Yes, it is.”
Sun Xinyi nodded subtly.
Feng Lanhua’s frown deepened—so there was no issue with her education either!
It must be her job then!
Feng Lanhua continued her interrogation style, “Xinyi, what do you do for work now?”
“I work in the President’s Office at the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.”
When answering this question, Sun Xinyi subconsciously glanced at Yang Hao beside her. She deliberately avoided using the words “secretary.”
Because in many people’s eyes, the word “secretary” had certain implications!
“Ah?”
“The Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!!”
Feng Lanhua was stunned again; she knew of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group—it was a major company with official backing!
And here was Sun Xinyi, so young, already holding an important position in a large corporation!
So, she was essentially a “hexagonal daughter-in-law,” seemingly without a single flaw.
Liu Yani looked at her stunningly beautiful sister-in-law and wanted to ask herself: What are you really after?
Are you after my big brother because he’s older?
Or do you just like the idea of a second marriage?
He Yufen and Yang Guomin, the elderly couple, exchanged looks, thinking this daughter-in-law appeared too perfect!
She was the type of perfect that they wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
Yang Huizhen, meanwhile, was rapidly turning over thoughts in her mind.
She, too, found the girlfriend her nephew had found to be too perfect!
Could she possibly be rented??
There was a TV show called “Renting a Girlfriend for the New Year” before!
And similar stories were always popping up on Kuaiyin.
Suddenly, such an idea sprang up in Yang Huizhen’s mind…
“Have you finished checking the ‘household register’?”
“When will dinner begin?” Yang Hao asked with a laugh.
“Let’s go out to eat, it’s too troublesome to cook at home!”
He Yufen had been thinking of making some home-cooked dishes, but with so many people today, it was too much work, especially at her age.
“All right, then let’s eat out!” Yang Hao nodded. He didn’t want his mother to overexert herself.
“Sister He, I won’t disrupt your family dinner…”
Seeing that the group was about to head out, Feng Lanhua quickly got up to take her leave.
Although she was very curious as to why Sun Xinyi had taken a fancy to Yang Hao, as a neighbor, it wasn’t appropriate for her to intrude on such an occasion.
“Lanhua, thanks for your help today…”
He Yufen politely thanked her and escorted her to the door.
“It’s no bother, I didn’t help much anyway!”
Feng Lanhua replied politely and added in a lower voice, “And none of the girls I know could compare to the one Hao has brought home!”
“But, there’s an old saying, ‘Nothing unusual happens without a reason.'”
“You should keep a close eye on this daughter-in-law…” Feng Lanhua couldn’t help herself and left with a final piece of advice.
In the living room,
Yang Huizhen had already taken up Feng Lanhua’s mantle, asking Sun Xinyi, “Xinyi, how long have you and Hao been together?”
“For a while now.”
Sun Xinyi deliberately kept the concept of time vague; mentioning just over a month would seem too brief.
“Then how did you two meet?”
“I’m quite curious…” Yang Huizhen continued to inquire.
“We met at a fitness center.”
Sun Xinyi replied honestly, but as she answered, her eyes were surreptitiously glancing at her mobile phone on the coffee table.
Finally, the phone screen lit up.
Sun Xinyi felt a surge of quiet excitement.
If all went as expected, the first piece of strategic advice had arrived…
