Chapter 1033: Pressuring to Marry (4)
"..." Shu Lang.
So this was where they were waiting for him? He suddenly felt like the food wasn’t all that appetizing anymore.
It was hard to say when this started, but his family’s old man had taken a keen interest in playing matchmaker. Ever since Shu Lang returned home, he’d been bringing it up every now and then.
Jiaojiao, on the other hand, covered her mouth and stifled a laugh. Actually, twenty-five wasn’t too old, but given the current times, it was a little on the older side.
Shu Lang looked at the stubborn old man across the table, feeling like if he didn’t agree, the old man might not even properly enjoy his meal. Considering it was New Year’s Eve dinner, and with Ruan Jianguo, the Ruanlin Family, and three nephews present, Shu Lang could only let out a silent sigh.
He picked up his chopsticks again and said helplessly, "Fine, I’ll go, alright? Will you drop it now?"
"If you just agreed earlier, we wouldn’t have dragged it out." Old Man Shu still thought he wasn’t being decisive enough. The moment his mood shifted, he picked up a big chicken drumstick and placed it in Jiaojiao’s bowl, cheerfully saying, "Here, Jiaojiao, eat the drumstick."
The delighted look on his face completely erased the traces of melancholy from earlier.
After serving Jiaojiao, he grabbed a piece of braised pork for himself. His appetite was unmistakably excellent now.
Shu Lang watched, feeling his heart pinch again. He advised, "The doctor said you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. You shouldn’t eat such greasy things. Eat more vegetables instead."
Upon hearing that, Old Man Shu nearly slammed his chopsticks down again. At their age, they already lived for meat; vegetables tasted bland and joyless. All they wanted was to savor some meat.
