Chapter 476: Ningning's Warning
Chapter 476: Ningning's Warning
This is Xia Ying's first relationship.
This was also a relationship that Xia Ying had in mind with marriage in mind.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought Xu Lei to meet Jiang Ning and Ma Zhaodi.
and so.
Xia Ying was eagerly awaiting Ma Zhaodi's answer.
Upon hearing this, Ma Zhaodi turned to look at Xia Ying, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Little Ying, do you want to hear the truth from me, or a lie?"
Xia Ying rolled her eyes, speechless. "Of course it's the truth!"
What's so appealing about lies?
Ma Zhaodi nodded, then said very seriously, "The truth is, he's not right for you. You two are from different worlds."
Xia Ying is kind, warm-hearted, and has a positive outlook on life. The three of them have been roommates for so many years, and none of them have ever tried to take advantage of the other.
But Xu Tao wanted to arrange a marriage between his children and Jiang Ning as soon as he arrived.
That's really an ugly way to eat!
If it weren't for Xia Ying's sake, Ma Zhaodi wouldn't have eaten with this kind of person.
Not suitable?
Xia Ying never expected to hear this answer from Ma Zhaodi.
Xia Ying's boyfriend has regular features, a well-proportioned figure, and is 176cm tall. Although he can't compare to someone who is 180cm tall, he is not too short compared to the average person.
He graduated with a master's degree from a top university, his family is in business, and he has very sound values.
Xia Ying had assumed Ma Zhaodi would say they were a good match...
Hearing this answer, Xia Ying couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and immediately asked, "Xiao Si, do you think our place is unsuitable?"
Ma Zhaodi didn't answer Xia Ying's question directly, but instead asked, "Don't you think your boyfriend is very mercenary? He's also somewhat materialistic and vain. He's not from your world. I think even if you get together, you'll have disagreements because of your differing values."
"Shrewd? Vain? Climbing the social ladder and belittling the weak?" Xia Yingren was dumbfounded. "Xiao Si, where did you get the idea that my boyfriend is that kind of person?"
"Does this even need to be considered?" Ma Zhaodi continued, "Who would propose marriage on the first meeting? Xia Ying, don't you think it's extremely presumptuous of your boyfriend to bring up the matter of a childhood betrothal with Ningning on the very first meeting with us?"
"Hahahahaha!!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ying burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face.
Ma Zhaodi: ? ? ?
Did she say something funny?
"What are you laughing at?" Ma Zhaodi asked.
Xia Ying stopped laughing. "I thought it was something serious. It turns out you're prejudiced against my boyfriend because of the arranged marriage. Actually, he's just indirectly pressuring us to get married. His real purpose isn't to arrange a marriage between our children."
Ma Zhaodi: "......."
She had never known before that Xia Ying was so love-obsessed.
Even though Xu Tao is in this state, she still thinks he's pressuring her to get married.
Seeing Ma Zhaodi's expression, Xia Yingying said, "Xiao Si, don't disbelieve me. Xu Tao really wants to marry me, so he used the arranged marriage to indirectly urge me to get married! He's a pretty straightforward guy and doesn't mince words. Don't take his words to heart, just treat it as if he farted."
In Xia Ying's view, Xu Tao loved her too much and wanted to marry her too much, which is why he resorted to such a desperate measure.
Ma Zhaodi frowned imperceptibly. "Xia Ying, you're blinded by your own involvement. Even if he really is just pressuring you to get married, there's no need to keep bringing it up! Also, have you noticed something?"
"What is it?" Xia Ying asked.
Ma Zhaodi continued, "When I jokingly said that my child would be more suitable to be betrothed to your child, your boyfriend's face immediately fell! If it's just about pressuring for marriage, why not choose someone else? Why does it have to be Ningning? It's obvious he's looking down on my status, thinking it's inferior to Ningning's!"
Ma Zhaodi saw it all clearly. When she said those words, Xu Tao's expression was so intense that he felt like he wanted to kill her.
This shows that Xu Tao was after Jiang Ning's family background from the very beginning.
“No, no,” Xia Ying shook her head. “Xiao Si, believe me, Xu Tao is definitely not the kind of person you think he is! He didn’t look down on you; that’s just his personality. He just didn’t know how to continue the conversation, so he didn’t. Xiao Si, please don’t overthink it. He absolutely has no intention of climbing the social ladder or belittling the weak!”
Ma Zhaodi looked at Xia Ying and continued, "Then do you believe that if Ningning didn't have such a good family background, your boyfriend wouldn't have even brought this up?"
"Xiao Si, then trust me this once. No matter what Ningning's identity is, my boyfriend will definitely joke about the arranged marriage with her, because his real intention is to urge her to get married."
Ma Zhaodi shook her head helplessly. "Xia Ying, you usually seem quite clear-headed. How come you become love-struck as soon as you start dating?"
Is it true that bystanders see things more clearly than those involved?
Xia Ying said firmly, "Because I understand my boyfriend! Xiao Si, if you don't believe me, we can call Ning Ning and ask her. Ning Ning will definitely think the same way I do."
“Okay, then call and ask.” Ma Zhaodi nodded.
Anyone with eyes can see that Xu Tao is problematic, so how could someone as insightful as Jiang Ning not see it?
To prove that her boyfriend was alright and that she wasn't just blinded by love, Xia Ying immediately made a WeChat video call to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning sat in the passenger seat, answered the video call, and leaned back lazily. "Hello Xia Ying, what's up?"
Ma Zhaodi leaned over and asked, "Ningning, Xia Ying wants to ask you what you think of her boyfriend! Are they a good match?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Xia Ying nodded quickly, looking at Jiang Ning on the screen with expectant eyes. "Ningning, what do you think of my boyfriend? Is he suitable for marriage?"
"Marriage?" Jiang Ning was clearly taken aback. "You want to marry him?"
“Yes,” Xia replied. “I’m already this old, if I don’t get married soon I’ll be too old.”
Boys and girls are different.
A man can still find a 25-year-old girl even when he's 35.
But once a woman reaches thirty, she can only look for older men who are thirty-five or even forty years old.
“You two have only known each other for a short time. I think you should spend more time together and get to know each other better before considering marriage,” Jiang Ning paused, then said softly, “Besides, I think your boyfriend is a bit unworthy of someone as wonderful as you.”
