Married to a Disabled Man in the 70s - Chapter 133
The contract was signed the next day by a person from Crown House Films, who came in person to sign the contract. He brought a lawyer with him. [1]
Because of the advance notice he gave her, Su Jiaojiao also brought a lawyer friend of hers just in case she had fallen for a scam.
Although Song Qinghan was better, he wasn’t fully recovered yet, so he can only chat with Su Jiaojiao online. He pretended to be a reader who pulled an all-nighter to finish her webnovel and wanted to contact her to express his admiration with her work.
There was no ambiguity in those texts, only a reader’s admiration towards the author.
The reason for this is that Su Jiaojiao didn’t find out that reader was really a man.
After all, her webnovel was targeted to a female demographic. Who would expect a guy to read her webnovel from cover to cover, even discussing the plot and development with her?
So Su Jiaojiao just assumed they were an avid reader.
The contract was signed smoothly and the money entered her bank account.
This made Su Jiaojiao sigh again. Crown House Films sure is rich.
[Ding, Su Jiaojiao’s goodwill towards you has increased by 50 points!] The matchmaker system’s joyful voice appeared: [Host, you can go meet her soon.]
Song Qinghan smiled slightly and looked at the progress report in his hand. He knew that giving Su Jiaojiao money would make her happy. Then, he exited the page and clicked on Su Jiaojiao’s dialogue box.
……
The money arrived. Su Jiaojiao took it to buy a house in a superb location alongside the money she had saved, not to live in, but to rent out.
It was her lifelong dream to be a landlady!
From buying the house to renting it out, it took Su Jiaojiao a month.
When she rented out the house, she still felt like she was dreaming. It started with the day she sold her copyright, no, when she suddenly got enlightened one day.
But her dreams were swiftly shattered by her mother.
“Su Jiaojiao, you’re going on a blind date tomorrow!”
Su Jiaojiao’s mother coldly rejected her pleading and gave her an ultimatum.
Su Jiaojiao cried, clutching the property deed in her hand, “Mom, look, I have money and a house, why do I need to go on a blind date? I can live a good life without getting married. Why can’t I just adopt a child? It’s not like you want to help me with the kids anyway ……”
Su Jiaojiao’s mother shook her head, “There’s no way you’ll be able to live alone for the rest of your life.”
As a mother, she could see that her daughter was spoiled and was a deadbeat, the kind that could go three months without leaving the house.
If she really lived alone, no one would even know if something happened to her one day.
“It’s the nephew of a good friend of mine. He’s in Shanghai and is a second generation rich. His mother is also a big boss and makes a lot of the TV shows we watch. In the future, you can directly sell the script to your own family if you marry him, how good is that?” Su Jiaojiao’s mother told her all the details
She didn’t want to get married, she didn’t want to go on a blind date, she always felt like if she got married, she would regret it. It was like she was waiting for someone.
But when her mother saw that she couldn’t be convinced, she simply said, “You can’t change what has been decided.”
Su Jiaojiao was speechless.
******
Early the next morning, Su Jiaojiao was woken up by her mother to dress for the occasion.
She wanted to dress simply and her mother started matching her outfit, she wanted to look plain and her mother went straight to work. FInally, they more or less achieved a good compromise.
After all, becoming a couple wasn’t something that was one-sided!
Soo Piao Piao followed her mother to the place they had agreed on meeting in – a vintage teahouse.
“Mom, are you sure that person didn’t give the wrong address?” Su Jiaojiao tilted her head upwards and looked at the high-end teahouse in front of her.
Was it true that he was a big boss?
Looking at the people who came and went from that teahouse, all of them were in suits or wearing expensive jewellery!
Su Jiaojiao’s mother calmly said, “Nonsense, how can you show off your status if you don’t meet in a place like this?”
Su Jiaojiao pouted.
The two of them went in and the waitress in a qipao [2] softly asked, “Do you two have a reservation?”
Su Jiaojiao’s mother said, “Yes, for Ms Zhou.”
“Please come this way, both of you.” The waitress nodded her head in understanding and led them through.
Su Jiaojiao followed, unable to stop looking around. She didn’t feel she would be compatible with someone who could frequent such a place.
When she pushed open the wooden door, she was greeted by a beautiful old-fashioned screen, and when she walked around it, she saw a man and a woman sitting over there.
The woman was about the same age as her mother and had a similar temperament, but was slightly chubby and had a kind face and a smile.
The man…was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and looked somewhat fierce at first glance. But on closer inspection, he was slim and fair, and as he got up, the tailor-made suit showed his tall and fit body.
“Hello auntie, how are you?” The youth smiled slightly, his manner polite and natural.
His voice was low and magnetic, very nice to listen to~
Su Jiaojiao didn’t know what to think.
My heart…it’s disobeying me!
Armos D. Platypus: We all know who this is. You go SQH!
