Chapter 590: Undermining
Guo’s mother was shocked, but she quickly calmed down, doubting the truth in Tong Yao’s words. The man did look good and rich, but why would he be interested in Guo Jinnian?
She suspected Tong Yao was bragging. "How can you prove your words are true? If your family is really so rich, why would you marry an old maid?"
Upon hearing this, Deng Qiuxia subconsciously looked at Tong Yao. She also agreed with Guo’s mother’s words. Guo Jinnian did look decent, but not nearly as good as Tong Yao. Besides being older and acting like a boy, why would such a good family be interested in her?
Tong Yao scoffed, amused at Guo’s mother. "Who told you that being 25 is an old maid? In big cities, people get married at this age after graduation. Isn’t it the right age? How did she suddenly become an old maid? Like you introducing a man to Miaomiao, she’s only seventeen, she’s not even of legal marriage age, why are you randomly introducing her to men?"
Guo’s mother was speechless with Tong Yao’s words. After a pause, she asked, "If you’re here for a marriage proposal, why didn’t you bring your parents? Who proposes without elders?"
Tong Yao crisply replied, "Our Breeding Farm, with nearly 100,000 chickens and ducks, is busy with my parents running the business. They’ll come after the New Year, is that an issue?"
Guo Jinnian immediately echoed, "Exactly, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are just too busy to get away."
Guo’s mother could not speak at all this time. Compared to Gu Hongwei, the Chen she introduced, was indeed not remarkable, and now felt a little embarrassed to continue staying.
