Chapter 1440 - 259, Matchmaking (1)
Truly worthy of being a matchmaker, her mouth is full of sweet nothings, one after another, without a single repetition.
When it came to Chen Leyao, she wasn’t exactly easy to get along with. If it was someone she liked, it would be fine, but if she didn’t, no matter how many pleasant flatteries you paid her, she would still be that indifferent and unresponsive.
A mother knows her daughter best. Lady Jiang could tell from her daughter’s slightly downcast eyes that the girl was not fond of this chubby matchmaker. In fact, she didn’t think much of this vulgar matchmaker either, but they were in need of her services, so she had no choice but to tolerate.
"Yes, yes, this is my daughter, Le Yao." Lady Jiang discreetly nudged Chen Leyao from behind, signaling her to greet Tao Hua.
Chen Leyao looked at Lady Jiang in disbelief with widened eyes, her face full of reluctance. Although she was merely the daughter of a merchant family, she was nevertheless from a prominent household in Jiangnan; how could she bow to a matchmaker so lacking in refinement?
Look at that matchmaker’s feet, shamelessly perched on the couch with those dirty, mud-caked shoes. That was their comfortable couch, not some large brick bed from the countryside! Even if it were such a bed, one shouldn’t climb onto it with shoes on!
With her daughter being uncooperative, Lady Jiang had no other option. It wasn’t like she could reprimand her child in front of Tao Hua, could she? That would be even more embarrassing.
Lady Jiang awkwardly poured Tao Hua a cup of tea and quickly diverted the conversation: "Just now, Sister Tao Hua mentioned there was some news? Now that Yao’er is here, please go ahead and tell us exactly how we should proceed."
