Chapter 683: The Blind Date is Underway (5)_1
Situ Xin listened to her grandpa Old Master Situ’s words and covered her mouth, snickering.
Loo Jie let out a wail, "Ah, you can’t be serious, Grandpa Situ." Situ Che looked unchanged, but those familiar with Situ Che could tell at a glance the twitching of his lips.
"What can’t be? Your Grandpa Situ is right, our two families may not believe in matching doors and equal social ranks, or in arranged marriages, but if the two of you are thinking of making contributions to our two families, maybe through a marriage alliance, we would not object," Old Master Loo said as he looked at his grandson’s crumpled face, took up his teacup, sipped his tea, and spoke.
When Loo Jie heard his grandpa speak out, he knew that if he and Situ Che did not find partners before the end of this year, what awaited them was an arranged marriage.
"Hey, Brother Jie, Brother Che, Grandpa and Grandfather are doing this for your own good. You two just work hard," said Situ Xin, which immediately earned her the accusatory glances from Situ Che and Loo Jie. However, Situ Xin turned a blind eye and continued, "Didn’t the two brothers meet two girls on their blind dates today? Just get to know those girls for starters, who knows, they might truly be the other halves you’ve been searching for all these years." As she spoke, Situ Xin winked at Situ Che and Loo Jie.
Watching their precious sister’s antics, Situ Che and Loo Jie really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, they thought, they might as well do as Situ Xin had suggested and start getting to know them.
There was quite some progress in the matter of Situ Che and Loo Jie, which was significant, indeed, and there they were, members of both families sitting around the dining table, their beaming smiles impossible to hide. Of course, there were exceptions.
Situ Che and Loo Jie did not have any signs of happiness on their faces, and they were engrossed in eating. Compared to army rations, home-cooked meals were far superior. Moreover, after a day’s turmoil, their stomachs had been protesting.
