Finding a Father for the Child

"I'm going to be late for class. Aunt Liu, you should go back to your maternal family and ask clearly."

Jiang Hanyan looked at her watch and left in a hurry, returning the photo to Aunt Liu. Later, she had to find Fang Jiaxing and warn him never to meet Aunt Liu's niece. That girl was not a decent person.

Aunt Liu left with a dark face, her heart filled with resentment, thinking Jiang Hanyan was someone who fawned on the rich and looked down on the poor, disdaining her maternal family for being too poor.

"Hmph, so what if the Xu family has money? Their daughter is as fat as a pig. Sleeping at night would probably crush someone to death. What's the use of having money? A provincial outsider dares to put on airs..."

Aunt Liu didn't take Jiang Hanyan's words to heart at all. Her niece was originally gentle and introverted; there was absolutely no way she would secretly find a partner outside. It must be because Jiang Hanyan disdained her brother's family for being poor, so she casually found an excuse to decline.

There were so many provincial university students in Shanghai. With her niece's looks, she could find one with her eyes closed. It was just that her brother's family and her niece seemed to really like Fang Jiaxing and kept urging her. Aunt Liu frowned; she would have to call and explain to them later.

After finishing her morning classes, Jiang Hanyan took advantage of the lunch break to call Fang Jiaxing out.

"Have you considered it?" Jiang Hanyan went straight to the point.

Fang Jiaxing blushed and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "If I choose Miss Xu, will you look down on me?"

He had been hesitating for the past few days. The Xu family's conditions were too much to his liking. If he became a couple with Miss Xu, his future work would definitely not be a worry; he could choose any of the major hospitals in Shanghai.

Under normal aesthetic standards, Miss Xu's figure was indeed not good, but Fang Jiaxing had also thought it through. He didn't dislike her for being fat, and looking closely, Miss Xu had very beautiful features. If she lost weight, she would definitely be prettier than that kindergarten teacher.

"Are you choosing her because you've set your sights on the Xu family's background? Senior Fang, let me be frank. If you are purely doing it for the background, then you'd better not seek Miss Xu. Marriage is not a joke. In the future, when you achieve success, there will be many young and beautiful girls taking the initiative to throw themselves at you. At that time, you might find Miss Xu too fat and grow to dislike her. I act as a matchmaker because I want to facilitate a good marriage, not to harm someone's daughter."

Jiang Hanyan spoke very bluntly.

Fang Jiaxing's face turned even redder, and he quickly explained, "I indeed have my sights on the Xu family's background. I don't hide my ambition for fame and wealth. But please rest assured, I am not an ungrateful person. Miss Xu is just a bit fat, but she is actually very beautiful. My mother and sister are both fat. My father often says that a man marrying a fat wife brings blessings, while a thin one brings no blessings. As for that kindergarten teacher, I don't think we are very suitable."

"Is it because her family conditions are not good?" Jiang Hanyan asked.

"Half of it is for that reason. I want to marry a wife who can help my future. The kindergarten teacher's family can't help, and besides, I feel that teacher..."

Fang Jiaxing hesitated for a long time before saying, "My personal feeling is that her eyes are a bit flirtatious, not suitable for me."

Unlike Miss Xu, who looked like a virtuous wife and loving mother at first glance. Although she was a bit fat, if she lost weight, she would definitely be prettier than that teacher. He had discussed it with his parents, and they both supported him in seeking Miss Xu, even telling him to treat her well and respect his parents-in-law like his own parents.

Jiang Hanyan couldn't help but laugh. Without her needing to remind him, Fang Jiaxing had seen through it himself. Moreover, he was very sincere and probably wouldn't fail Miss Xu. She could be sure of this point.

"Then I will arrange a time with Miss Xu's side for the two of you to meet." Jiang Hanyan said with a smile.

"Alright, thank you, Junior Sister." Fang Jiaxing's face turned red to his ears, and his hands and feet were at a loss. Going on a blind date for the first time made him a bit nervous.

In the afternoon after school, Jiang Hanyan went back and told Auntie Wang.

"Your classmate has a sharp eye. Let me call right away. Why don't they meet this weekend?" Auntie Wang was eager to make the call, even more anxious than the people involved.

After making the call, Auntie Wang mentioned Aunt Liu again, curling her lip in disdain, "If she dares to come and cause trouble for you, just come to me. Hmph, why should a university student seek a dirt-poor family? Besides, that niece of hers, I don't think she is a decent person. Little Xu is still better."

Jiang Hanyan smiled. She was indeed not decent. From the recent photo, it was clear that she was pregnant. Being so eager to meet Fang Jiaxing, she probably wanted to find a father to take responsibility for the child in her womb.

However, she didn't tell Auntie Wang. That was someone else's private matter, and it wasn't good to spread it everywhere.

The weekend quickly arrived, and Fang Jiaxing and Little Xu met at Auntie Wang's house. Actually, Jiang Hanyan felt it would be better to meet at a teahouse, but Auntie Wang and Auntie Xu both felt it was more appropriate to go to the matchmaker's house.

Jiang Hanyan had met Xu Xinyu. She was indeed very fat, but her taste in clothing was very good. She didn't look greasy but rather very cute. Her skin was fair, her features were delicate, and she had dimples when she smiled, looking much prettier than in the photo.

Xu Xinyu's personality was also very good, speaking softly with a bit of a babyish tone, and her eyes were clear. At first glance, she was a girl raised in luxury, without scheming, and had never lacked material things since childhood.

Fang Jiaxing sat opposite her. Both were very shy, bowing their heads and not daring to speak, relying entirely on Auntie Wang to lead the conversation in the middle.

For lunch, Auntie Wang made many dishes, and Jiang Hanyan was also called down to eat. She noticed that Xu Xinyu ate very little, much less than an ordinary person. With such an appetite, she shouldn't be this fat.

"Are you on a diet?" Jiang Hanyan asked softly.

Xu Xinyu blushed and shook her head. She swallowed the rice in her mouth before saying, "I haven't eaten much since I was a child."

"Our Xinyu has the appetite of a sparrow. She gets full after eating just a little." Auntie Xu said with a smile.

Xu Xinyu frowned, feeling a bit aggrieved, "I don't know why I'm so fat either. I clearly don't eat much."

She started to gain weight when she entered puberty, her body swelling up like a balloon. Some people were fat because they snacked constantly, but she rarely snacked. Eating her three meals a day was enough, yet she still couldn't control her weight, getting fatter and fatter.

Her parents had taken her for checkups. Her body indexes were all normal, without the "three highs," and her endocrine system was also stable, but she just kept getting fat. The doctor suggested gastric bypass surgery, but her parents refused. Since her obesity wasn't caused by overeating, surgery wouldn't solve the root cause.

"My mother and sister are also fat. My father says they are people with blessings." Fang Jiaxing's tongue was very sweet, making Xu Xinyu smile like a flower, looking extremely shy.

Fang Jiaxing was currently very satisfied. Xu Xinyu was much prettier than he had imagined, dressing fashionably with delicate features, without any heavy feeling. Moreover, in his hometown, there were many fat women, so Xu Xinyu wasn't considered excessive.

In addition, Xu Xinyu's personality was too much to his liking. Her gentle and babyish voice made his whole body go soft. From childhood to adulthood, he had never met a woman who spoke like that. His mother and sister were both loud-voiced and hot-tempered, striking at the slightest provocation. Xu Xinyu was like a fairy to him.

Coupled with such a good family background, if he really married Xu Xinyu, he would definitely cherish her in the palm of his hand.
