Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1234 - 1236: Heart in Turmoil

"Yining, don’t blame Auntie for not reminding you, we have guests coming over today," Wan Hongxing cautioned.

"Well, if there are guests, so be it," Pei Yining said nonchalantly, picking up a piece of crispy meat to eat. Knowing her preference, Wan Hongxing had learned the recipe from Aunt Ji and often made it for her; crispy and delightful. "Aunt Wan, your cooking skills are getting better and better," she praised.

Before Wan Hongxing could say anything else, Pei Guozhong walked in with the guests.

As soon as Pei Yining glanced over, she saw her father’s old comrade and a young man, and she realized belatedly, asking Wan Hongxing incredulously, "Aunt Wan, are the guests today the one Dad wanted to introduce for matchmaking?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Pei Yining always thought it wouldn’t be such a coincidence, but the voices and the way they were addressed matched perfectly.

Dad’s old comrades were only a few.

"Yes, it’s your Uncle Shu," Wan Hongxing nodded.

Pei Yining glanced outside anxiously, asking, "Aunt Wan, if I leave now, is it still not too late?"

"Just have a meal at home, what could he do to you?" Wan Hongxing instructed Pei Yining to bring out the prepared fruit platter. As the weather was just turning hot, the watermelon was the perfect refreshment.

Pei Yining dragged her feet hesitantly, but eventually steeled herself and carried the watermelon out.

"Dad, Uncle Shu, have some watermelon, it’s really sweet," Pei Yining said cheerfully, placing the watermelon in the dining room.

Pei Guozhong was quite surprised when he saw his daughter; wasn’t this girl adamantly against matchmaking? He felt very apologetic in front of his old comrade.

"Yining, didn’t your dad say you went out to take photos? When did you come back?" Shu Zhengsong, although not living in Ningbei, had met Pei Yining several times and had a very good impression of her. If Pei Yining could marry his son, it would indeed be wonderful. However...

"Just got back," Pei Guozhong awkwardly explained; his daughter didn’t want matchmaking, so he had to say she was out taking photos.

Anyway, everyone knew his daughter spent over half the year traveling around.

"It’s you?"

Suddenly, Pei Yining looked at the silent young man beside her in shock; she couldn’t believe it was someone she knew.

Pei Guozhong and Shu Zhengsong exchanged a glance and asked, "Shuyuan, since when did you know Yining?"

"Are you Uncle Shu’s son?" Pei Yining looked at Shuyuan, then at Uncle Shu, though she noticed the sharply defined features had some resemblance.

"Yes," Shu Zhengsong nodded and said, "This is my younger son, Shuyuan, who just got transferred to Ningbei from Xi Province to work."

"Uncle Shu, I still need to thank Shuyuan for rescuing me," Pei Yining proactively mentioned, recounting the incident she encountered in Xi Province.

"Yining, well, Shuyuan rescuing you was something he should have done. You guys really have a fateful connection," Shu Zhengsong said meaningfully, as he and Pei Guozhong were indeed considering bringing these two young people together.

In the kitchen.

"Yining, you didn’t get hurt in Xi Province, did you? Thankfully you met Shuyuan who rescued you," Wan Hongxing asked worriedly, looking at Pei Yining. Seeing her safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Yining, honestly speaking, what do you think of him? Your Uncle Shu’s character is beyond question; your dad often says the children he raises are sure to be good. If you marry into their family, you definitely won’t be mistreated."

"Aunt Wan." At the moment Pei Yining saw Shuyuan was the matchmaking candidate, her heart was in a turmoil.
