Meng Ying pulled out another test paper and continued working on it after she chatted with Huo Yao. After she filled in a few blanks, a thought crossed her mind, and she hurried downstairs.
Her mother was in the yard watering flowers and got a shock when her daughter suddenly came running down.
“Mom, how old is my cousin?” asked Meng Ying with her eyes gleaming.
Her mother was stunned before she replied. “Erm... which cousin are you talking about?”
“Meng Jue?”
“Around 24 or 25 years old? I’m not sure.” Mrs. Meng put down the water scoop. “Why did you suddenly ask about Meng Jue?”
“24 to 25 years old...” muttered Meng Ying. Since he was not that old, she continued asking her mother. “Does he have a girlfriend?”
“Probably not.” Mrs. Meng shook her head. “Why are you asking?”
Meng Ying smiled mysteriously. “Nothing.”
A thought crossed her mind and she asked her mother. “What do you think of Sister Big Shot?”
“Are you talking about Yao?” Mrs. Huo smiled when she thought about that girl. “She’s pretty, smart, and has a kind heart. She’s a good girl.”
After Mrs. Meng finished making her comments, her eyes instantly landed on Meng Ying in disdain. “Have you finished all the revision material that she gave you? Stupid people have to work harder. Stop getting in my way here.”
Meng Ying was puzzled. “???”
Was she her biological mother?

Huo Tingrui drove to the matchmaking event and parked the car. He undid his seatbelt and was about to get off when he noticed that his little sister continued to sit in the front pa.s.senger seat without budging. He said, “Hey! We’re here.”
Huo Yao raised her head to glance at him and said, “Brother Tingrui, go ahead. I’ll wait in the car for you to come back triumphantly.”
Huo Tingrui was at a loss.
Did she not say that it was her sisterly duty to help him find the right woman?
Huo Yao blinked at Huo Tingrui before she raised her wrist to check her watch. “You will make a bad impression if you turn up late.”
Huo Tingrui glared at her angrily. “If I don’t find a woman today, I will blame it on you. Hurry up and get out of the car. If you don’t come with me, I won’t go either.”
Huo Yao rubbed her forehead and undid the seatbelt after her older brother’s threat.
A gloating smile spread on Huo Tingrui’s bespectacled face.
Soon after, they headed towards the community park entrance. They had to pay $5 each to enter.
Huo Tingrui bought two tickets and asked the staff where the matchmaking event was being held before going down the sidewalk.
The community park had been around for years and was intended for the nearby residents. It was large and had great amenities. Hence, most estate activities were held here.
It only looked a little old.
Huo Yao looked around the park before she turned to glance at Huo Tingrui. He was dressed in a suit and did not fit in at all.
She ambiguously smiled and said, “I don’t think your matchmaking is going to work out today.”
Huo Tingrui glanced at her. “I beg to differ. Since I am handsome and successful, I am the dream boyfriend.”
He should be the one swimming with choices and not the other way around!
Even if he failed to find a match today, the only reason for that would be that he was not interested in any of them.
