Chapter 1119
One could not deny that the Tian family was very good-looking.
Besides Mother Tian, Father Tian was very fair. As one would expect, Tian Dong must have inherited his parents’ genes to have skin that was fairer than that of a lady.
As the saying goes, ‘A fair complexion is good enough to cover one’s faults.’ In addition, the Tian family of three was bright-eyed and had proportionate facial features. They were certainly not bad-looking.
Most probably, due to the influence of the army, the looks of the Zhai family were more masculine with some aura of righteousness.
On the other hand, the Tian family was truly good-looking. Their face shapes were not the conventional square types. They had small and sharp-chin faces that would become very popular more than a decade later.
In short, without spending a single cent, they already possessed the face shape that many celebrities spent a bomb to pursue more than a decade later. They were born with it. It was certainly top-notch.
After sizing up the Tian family briefly, Qiao Nan took a few more glances at Tian Dong.
His lips were red and his teeth white. He had big, jet-black and dewy eyes…
All of a sudden, one word appeared in Qiao Nan’s mind: transgender.
In this world, there were people who would make women feel shameful. Although their gender was male, they would become more alluring and attractive than women once they were dressed in ladies’ attire. Their figure was so good that it would make other women feel jealous.
At the sight of Tian Dong’s face, Qiao Nan felt that Tian Dong was definitely the type of man that women would also detest.
When Zhai Hua fetched her earlier, her expression was so ugly at the mention of Tian Dong’s name. Her fury was greater than at any other time. Qiao Nan finally understood why.
As a pure bystander, one would be quite delighted to admire Tian Dong as eye candy.
The problem was that if one were to become associated with this man as the woman whom he would walk down the aisle with in the future, she would not feel good.
All of a sudden, another sentence appeared in Qiao Nan’s mind: You are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, while I am responsible for earning money to support the family financially.
If Sister Zhai Hua and Tian Dong were really fated to get married, would this sentence describe the reality of Sister Zhai Hua’s future life?
Because of this sentence, Qiao Nan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
“Hello, the day that Zhai Sheng and you were married, our family missed your wedding due to other commitments. We were not able to rush back to Ping Cheng. I wish Zhai Sheng and you well.” Father Tian spoke.
When Qiao Nan was sizing up the Tian family, the Tian family was also assessing Qiao Nan, who had become Cinderella.
Putting other things aside, Father Chen first looked at Qiao Nan’s pair of eyes. They were pure, clear, and honest-looking.
As such, Father Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
Well, this was someone approved by Old Master Zhai. Hence, she certainly would not be too lousy. This young lady looked fine.
After having an initial feel of what kind of person Qiao Nan was, Father Chen felt much more at ease.
At the sight of her husband’s attitude, Mother Chen knew what to do next. Mother Tian smiled and said to Zhai Hua, “It’s boring to sit together. Don’t youngsters like you like to watch movies nowadays? Youngsters should be more active. Dongzi, remember to take good care of the two younger sisters.”
They were going out to have fun together. Of course, the guy had to pick up the tabs.
Tian Dong, who had been keeping mum all this while, did not utter a word when he heard Mother Tian’s words. However, he stood up.
“Wow, Dongzi, did you get hormone injections while you were in America?” Initially, Zhai Hua did not look up to Tian Dong. She felt that Tian Dong looked the same as when he was a child—fair, tender, and quiet. He was more studious than a grown-up lady. There were no sparks between them at all.
It was quite difficult to find a man who was more formidable than her.
However, ‘marrying a wife’ was just a joke that she made when she was a child. She did not really want a girlish man who would tear at the slightest matter and required her to coax him all the time.
If she really had to marry such a man, she would rather turn back and look for Wei De.
However, Zhai Hua, who secretly did not fancy Tian Dong, had a shock when Tian Dong stood up.
She did not feel anything when Tian Dong was sitting down. However, when he stood up, Zhai Hua then discovered that Tian Dong was extremely tall. Most likely, his height was more than 1.9 meters.
The people in the Zhai family were not short either. Zhai Hua was already more than 1.7 meters tall.
It was also because of this reason that very few men could stand confidently beside Zhai Hua. It was too obvious that Zhai Hua was taller.
However, with Tian Dong’s appearance, even a tough lady like Zhai Hua seemed petite.
The corners of Tian Dong’s mouth moved. In the end, he said emotionlessly, “I didn’t.”
At the sight of her son’s response, Mother Tian was so angry that she could not help hitting Tian Dong once. “Hua Hua is joking with you. Can’t you tell? Your response was so stiff and dim-witted.”
His son did not know how to read a girl’s mind. He was good-looking but his words and actions could drive others to their graves. That was also the reason why he was still single at his ‘old age’. He did not even have a girlfriend before.
When she thought of Tian Dong, this ‘overage bachelor’, Mother Tian was very worried.
In the past, the family kept a watch on her son and forbade him from dating. They were afraid that he would be led astray and would have many girlfriends despite his young age. Also, an illegitimate child might eventually pop out of nowhere.
At that time, Mother Tian felt that there was no issue in managing her son in this way. She did not voice out any opinions then.
When Mother Tian had some views on this, she discovered that it was too late. Clearly, her son was already at such an age but he did not feel for any lady.
The culture was more liberal overseas. It was common for dating to occur at a very young age. The Tian family was also concerned about the prevalence of romantic relationships between people of the same genders.
When Mother Tian went out, she would see two lads who were quite good-looking chatting and holding hands in the streets. They would then kiss each other from time to time.
It was hard to understand the sadness in the hearts of mothers who had ‘overage bachelors’ at home.
They were really afraid that Tian Dong would be led astray by the culture. Moreover, it was also time. The Tian family rushed back to the country and tried their best to help Tian Dong find a woman to marry and then have children.
Since they were considering their child’s marriage, the Tian family was very particular about the lady’s situation.
When Zhai Hua came to mind and they heard that Zhai Sheng married Qiao Nan, a woman with a non-flattering family background, the Tian family also had reservations.
There were certainly no issues with the children of the Zhai family. However, the Tian family was not sure of the lady who had just entered the Zhai family. They wanted to meet Qiao Nan personally before they decided on Tian Dong and Zhai Hua’s matter.
This was their first encounter today. At least, Father Tian did not feel revulsion against Qiao Nan. In that case, naturally, Tian Dong should interact more with Zhai Hua.
What made Mother Tian sullen was that her son was behaving in the same cold and aloof manner that he did when he was overseas. Even if she were to punch him a few times, she might not gather a satisfactory response.
Given her son’s character, Mother Tian was afraid that she would not be able to get a daughter-in-law or carry a grandchild in her life.
Zhai Hua’s character was not petty but she was also a lady.
She did not believe that, with that quiet and aloof character of her son, he would be able to woo Zhai Hua successfully and marry her.
