Qiao Mei flipped to one of the pages. The details listed looked quite acceptable. This man’s name was Xu Ba and he was 48 years old this year. His wife passed away 15 years ago due to illness and he had never remarried. He had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was already working and was an accountant at a factory. The second son and youngest daughter were currently studying at Capital University.

“Mother, do you know this person?” Qiao Mei asked as she pointed at Xu Ba’s photo.

“I remember him! This person is not too bad. He’s a district mayor now. He comes from a scholarly family and I heard that he even had ancestors who were top scholars! I’ve met his mother before and she’s quite easy-going. However, you have to know that being a mother-in-law and being a mother are two different things. It’s hard to say if she looks decent in front of people but does bad things behind closed doors!” Xu Lan said.

Xu Lan seemed to have completely forgotten that she was also a mother-in-law herself. However, her conscience was clear when it came to Qiao Mei. She was nicer to Qiao Mei than her own three children!

“I feel that she can try interacting with this person first,” Qiao Mei said in satisfaction.

“Alright, then I’ll arrange for him to meet your mother and have a chat,” Xu Lan said happily.

“Let’s not do a formal session yet! My mother isn’t used to such things and will feel very awkward. You can give him my mother’s photo and information. If he’s interested in her, then he can go to her restaurant for a meal. The two of them can take a look at each other first,” Qiao Mei said.

“You’re still the more thoughtful one! I’ll go and do it now!” After saying that, Xu Lan went to contact Xu Ba.

Xu Ba immediately fixed a timing with them to meet at Li Gui’s restaurant for lunch at 12 noon tomorrow. Xu Lan and Qiao Mei arrived very early and sat next to the railing on the second floor to observe the people entering the restaurant.

Xu Ba arrived at the appointment time, holding a bouquet of lilies. He was very tall and his height looked to be around 1.88 meters. He wore a gray trench coat and looked very elegant.

Molly brought him to a private room on the second floor. Qiao Mei had not told Li Gui about this in advance. She only told Li Gui that Xu Lan was meeting an old friend here.

“Xu Ba, long time no see,” Xu Lan said warmly.

“Yes, that’s true. You still look the same as before. You haven’t changed much,” Xu Ba said politely.

Qiao Mei stood up and extended her hand politely, saying, “Hello, Mr. Xu. My name is Qiao Mei. I’m her daughter-in-law and also Li Gui’s eldest daughter.”

Xu Ba held Qiao Mei’s fingertips in a gentlemanly manner and shook her hands gently. “Nice to meet you.”

“We’re all people who are direct, so I’ll just speak my mind. My mother’s situation is quite special. I wonder if you’ve read the information about her carefully,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui was currently doing very well for herself and she was also the Xia family’s in-law, so there were plenty of men who were willing to marry her! However, Li Gui’s past served as a deterrent for many of these men.

If a man wanted to be with Li Gui, not only did he have to bring up her four underage children, but he also had to accept the fact that Li Gui had been married twice before. In addition, the Li family had so many poor relatives.

Xu Ba nodded and said, “I have read everything. I’m a person who places more value on fate. Everything is negotiable except for fate.”

“Then I’ll get my mother to come and meet you.” Qiao Mei left the private room with Xu Lan. She went downstairs to look for Li Gui and said, “The guest in the private room on the second floor wants to order food but Molly is very busy. You should go and take a look.”

“Alright, I’ll go now.” Li Gui hurriedly ran upstairs with the menu.

The moment Li Gui opened the door, Xu Ba was so mesmerized by Li Gui’s looks that he could not take his eyes off her. He had already seen Li Gui’s photo, but it was nothing compared with seeing her in person. It was stated in the information that Li Gui was already in her 40s this year, but she looked like she was only in her early 30s.

These were still not the main points. Xu Ba was completely drawn to Li Gui’s temperament. He found her gentle yet cheerful demeanor to be very attractive!

“Sir, what would you like to order?” Li Gui asked in a gentle tone.

Xu Ba looked at Li Gui earnestly and said, “A pot of tea and some dimsum will do.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.” Li Gui closed the menu and left the private room. Qiao Mei and Xu Lan blocked Li Gui outside and asked, “How is it?”

“What do you mean? He says that he wants tea. I have to go down and make tea!” Li Gui said as she looked at them confusedly.

“We’re not asking about this! What I mean is, what do you think of him?” Xu Lan asked anxiously.
