I'm back in 1990

Chapter 788: Someone is acting as matchmaker

Huang Xiaochuan is a typical action-oriented person. He went to tell Huang Erhe about it that very day. Huang Erhe never expected that his sister-in-law Cheng Ling's boyfriend was actually his younger brother's college classmate. Look at the mess this has made.

When he got home, he told Cheng Jing about it.

"Do you know who Cheng Ling's boyfriend is?" He deliberately kept her in suspense.

Cheng Jing naturally knew about this: "Of course I know! It's just that university professor! My parents even thought he was too old." Cheng Jing felt a little confused by the man's sudden question when he came back.

Cheng Jing didn't object to her younger sister Cheng Ling's choice, but since she couldn't be the head of her parents' household, there were some things she couldn't say. She could only remain neutral and slightly favor her younger sister.

Huang Erhe leaned closer to Cheng Jing and said, "Let me tell you, there really are such coincidences in the world. Your sister's boyfriend is my brother's college classmate. They lived in the same dormitory for four years and had a very good relationship. They've always kept in touch."

"Huh?" Cheng Jing, who was busy folding baby clothes with her pregnant belly, was extremely surprised when she heard the news. Then she was overjoyed. If that was the case, wouldn't her little sister's marriage be in the works?

"Was that university professor really your brother's classmate?"

Huang Erhe, who had already predicted that Chen Zhe and Cheng Ling's marriage would be no problem, nodded with a smile: "My younger brother came to me today specifically about this matter, asking me to help mediate between your parents. My brother is willing to act as matchmaker."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing forgot all about folding her clothes and stood up excitedly, "Really?" She didn't even care that her clothes had slipped off her legs and fallen to the ground.

"Hey! Slow down, watch your stomach, your clothes fell off too." Huang Erhe quickly bent down and picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground.

"It's okay, I can just wash it again." Cheng Jing didn't care about the clothes at all; her mind was completely occupied with Cheng Ling's matter.

Cheng Jing quickly made a decision: "Erhe, let's go! Let's go to my parents' house now."

Huang Erhe was somewhat surprised: "Huh? Now?"

"Yes, right now. It's good to talk about this sooner rather than later. My little sister is still living in the dormitory. If my parents agree, she can move back home sooner. It's not good for a young girl to stay away from her home all the time." The Cheng family's views are still quite conservative.

Seeing Cheng Jing's resolute attitude, Huang Erhe also wanted to bring the matter together as soon as possible, so he agreed.

"Okay, let's go now." Huang Erhe suddenly remembered something: "What about Maowa and Miguo?"

"Take them with you. You go get the car, I'll go call them."

"Okay!" Huang Erhe obeyed his wife's arrangement and went downstairs first. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind her, "Be careful when you go downstairs."

Cheng Jing waved her hand: "It's alright, don't worry."

Half an hour later, the family arrived at Cheng's house.

"Oh my! What are you doing running around with such a big belly?" Upon seeing her fourth daughter, who was five months pregnant, Cheng's mother was so surprised that she quickly went over to help her sit down.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt," Miguo and Maowa politely greeted the elders in their family.

After Cheng Jing sat down, she smiled and said, "I'm fine."

At this moment, Cheng's father asked his fourth son-in-law, "Didn't we agree to come over for dinner tomorrow? What are you doing here?"

Cheng Yiwu and his wife Xing Jia stood to one side, also wondering what their fourth sister and brother-in-law were doing so late at night.

At this moment, Cheng Jing spoke up, "Erhe and I came here because of my little sister."

Upon hearing her fourth daughter mention her youngest daughter, Cheng Ling, Cheng's mother's face immediately fell: "Don't mention that wretched girl, she's such a worry. Of all the men her age could find, she had to choose someone twelve years older than her."

In Cheng's mother's eyes, her youngest daughter was not only stunningly beautiful, but also quite lovely, with a stable job and high income. What kind of young and talented man couldn't she find? Why would she choose a divorced middle-aged man who was more than ten years older than her? She must be out of her mind.

Cheng Jing simply smiled at this, then asked, "Mom, do you know who that university professor Cheng Ling was talking to is?"

Cheng's mother replied nonchalantly, "I don't care who he is, I'm not going to agree."

Cheng Jing, holding her mother's arm, said, "The university professor who's with my little sister is Erhe's college classmate. They're very close and always keep in touch. Erhe's brother asked us to come and persuade you. He even said he's willing to act as your matchmaker!"

"Ah!" These words startled everyone in the Cheng family except for Huang Erhe.

No one knew Huang Erhe's younger brother better than the Cheng family. They never expected that Chen Zhe, who was dating Cheng Ling, was actually a classmate and friend of Erhe's younger brother. Moreover, Erhe's younger brother even took the initiative to act as matchmaker.

The situation immediately turned around, and Cheng's parents' resolve began to waver.

The situation immediately turned around, and Cheng's parents' resolve began to waver.

The youngest daughter-in-law, Xing Jia, had stars in her eyes: "What a coincidence!"

Cheng Yiwu touched his head in surprise, and didn't forget to respond to his wife's question: "Yes! It really is quite a coincidence."

At this point, Cheng's father asked his fourth daughter in a very serious tone, "Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to us, are you?"

Cheng Jing was unhappy: "Dad, if you don't believe me, ask Erhe."

At this moment, Huang Erhe quickly chimed in, "Cheng Jing didn't lie to you. My brother came to see me today specifically about this matter. He's been incredibly busy lately, yet he still came to me to ask me to persuade you. This shows that Chen Zhe's relationship with him is definitely not just that of ordinary classmates. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see me specifically for Chen Zhe."

Of course, the fourth son-in-law would not lie to them; both Cheng's father and mother knew this in their hearts.

In their view, their fourth son-in-law's younger brother was an extremely capable and virtuous person, and his classmates and friends were naturally not ordinary people either. This also showed that their youngest daughter had a discerning eye, and that the man named Chen Zhe was also very outstanding.

In fact, Cheng Ling had already mentioned Chen Zhe's outstanding qualities to her parents, but unfortunately, her parents were preoccupied with his age and overlooked these advantages.

Cheng's parents exchanged a glance. After all, they had been married for many years, and they immediately guessed each other's thoughts.

Everyone quieted down and waited for Cheng's parents to make a decision. Only the two little ones, Miguo and Maowa, were playing quietly.

After a long pause, Cheng's mother spoke in a gentler tone, but she was still somewhat hesitant. After all, such a sudden 180-degree turn was hard to swallow: "Even if he is Erhe's good friend, the age difference between Coco and him is too great! Besides, he's divorced and has a son."
