Chapter 1068 I Have a Fiancé
"Then you are such a good grandmother."
He was especially good to his youngest daughter, and insisted on coming to see a doctor so that she could find him a partner.
When the older woman heard me say that, her face lit up with a smile: "Isn't that right?"
“My youngest daughter just graduated not long ago. I’m worried that she’ll be too focused on her career and forget that she needs to balance both career and family.”
"Well, I'm retired and have nothing to do anyway. If I can find a suitable son-in-law for my youngest daughter, that would be a good deed."
"Girl, you're so pretty, you must have no shortage of boyfriends."
Shen Lu was both amused and exasperated.
This older woman actually sees her as a competitor?
As soon as she asked the question, several people around her, who had been listening intently, stared at her in surprise.
"I don't need anything, I have a fiancé."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Shen Lu was not a competitor.
After all, among all the girls waiting in the hall, there wasn't a single one prettier than Shen Lu.
If she were to compete, everyone's hopes would be halved.
The older woman felt the same way after hearing this.
He didn't hold back in praising Shen Lu: "I always said you're a beautiful girl, you'll never lack a boyfriend."
"You just said you didn't come to see a doctor, so what do you need Dr. Song for?"
Seeing that many people wanted to know the answer, Shen Lu jokingly said, "His cousin asked me to pass on a message to him, telling him to go home and go on a blind date."
Those who didn't know the inside story looked on in disbelief.
Even the older women couldn't understand: "Dr. Song is such a handsome and talented man, why does he need to go on blind dates?"
Does that mean he can just beckon girls to play with him?
"Isn't it because Dr. Song didn't have time to talk to them herself? The family found someone, someone who's a good match, so it's less of a hassle," Shen Lu explained with a smile.
Now that you put it that way, everyone understands.
Dr. Song's family seems to be quite well-off; they're looking for a wife who is a good match for them.
This means a large number of people will be eliminated.
However, some people do know whose child Song Hanzhang is.
These people were originally after the Song family; they weren't a good match, but they wanted to curry favor with the Song family.
Those who truly admired Song Hanzhang did not back down.
Shen Lu noticed that the older woman was still determined to see a doctor.
However, she quietly pulled Shen Lu aside and whispered in her ear: "Little girl, tell me, what are the standards the Song family has for finding a wife?"
"There are no standards, it's just that we like each other, Dr. Song likes him, and his family is harmonious."
The idea of a harmonious family was something Shen Lu added herself.
Generally speaking, when elders look for a wife, they look for someone from a harmonious family.
Which family would want a daughter-in-law whose family is not harmonious and who is always causing trouble?
People worry that children from such families might be influenced by their family's values.
However, some children from such families have very resilient personalities, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.
The older woman laughed upon hearing this: "Isn't that referring to our family?"
“My husband and I have a good relationship. This is my youngest daughter. She has two older brothers, twins.”
“They’ve all started their own families and are not short of money. Let me tell you a secret, we’re a family that received compensation for our land expropriation.”
“I have already prepared a house and dowry for my youngest daughter.”
Shen Lu was surprised; she couldn't tell.
The woman wasn't dressed in an extravagant way; she just wore gold earrings, a gold ring on her hand, and a gold necklace around her neck.
She looks like an ordinary woman with some family wealth.
Unexpectedly, she was a recipient of land expropriation compensation, making her daughter a "second-generation beneficiary" of the expropriation compensation.
Those born into wealth in the capital city who have benefited from land expropriation and own property will definitely find it easier to find a spouse.
"Your daughter is a nurse, and she's very talented. Plus, your family is well-off, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a son-in-law."
Why did she have to fall for Song Hanzhang?
“We don’t have to worry, but some people know that our family is a relocated household and that I’ve prepared an apartment for my youngest daughter as her dowry, so they have some crooked ideas.”
“Ever since my daughter started working here, my husband and I have been picking her up and dropping her off whenever we have free time. We absolutely don’t let her walk alone, just in case someone tries to do something bad.”
"Young lady, you are pretty, but you still need to be careful. People can be so wicked these days."
"Unlike our generation, where everyone lived a simple and frugal life."
Shen Lu agreed with what she said, but it wasn't that there weren't bad people in that era of hardship and frugality.
It's just that bad people mostly think about how to fill their stomachs, and they have far fewer cunning schemes.
"Yes, I'm very careful about safety."
“My family always has bodyguards when we go out,” Shen Lu said half-jokingly.
The older woman didn't take it seriously; who would believe a child's boasting?
“My youngest daughter is very naive. Last time, she let slip to her colleagues that our house was being demolished, and afterwards, two or three male colleagues started pursuing her.”
"I gave her a good scolding. That stupid girl, she really thinks she's popular."
"That's why I thought I'd find her a reliable one first, so that those people won't keep swarming around like flies later."
The older woman's idea wasn't wrong.
However, Shen Lu would not comment.
They were thinking of their daughter, so Shen Lu couldn't very well dampen their enthusiasm by saying that Song Hanzhang probably wouldn't choose a wife so soon.
What if Dr. Song also wants to be in a relationship?
However, with the old master of the Song family having just passed away, Shen Lu guessed that Song Hanzhang had absolutely no interest in dating right now.
Moreover, people from families like the Song family would most likely be looking for someone of equal social standing.
The older woman has little chance.
This is not to say that the old lady's family doesn't have enough money.
Marrying someone of equal social standing involves more than just money; it also involves a certain level of character.
The Song family is a family of doctors, so when he finds a wife, she might also be from a family of doctors.
Not only are they well-matched in terms of social status and background, but they also share common interests and resources.
Of course, this is just Shen Lu's guess.
"Your fiancé isn't Dr. Song, is he? Is he trying to make us back down?"
The old lady really just says whatever comes to mind.
Shen Lu was almost ready to give her a thumbs up for her thought process.
"You're overthinking it." Shen Lu was a little speechless. "My fiancé isn't a doctor."
"I studied medicine, and Dr. Song and I are colleagues."
The older woman had an expression that said, "She doesn't even think before she lies."
"Young lady, don't try to fool me. I think you're no more than twenty years old. How could you possibly be colleagues with Dr. Song?"
Have you graduated from university?
"Still doing your internship at this hospital?"
"Wait a minute, why aren't they wearing uniforms for their internships?"
That old lady's mind works really well; she thinks so fast.
Shen Lu: "I studied traditional Chinese medicine; I've been learning that since I was a child."
At that moment, Shen Lu had no idea that her casual remark would lead to the woman refusing to let her perform surgery when they later met in the operating room.
She firmly believed that Shen Lu was just a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and would never perform surgery on people.
"That girl is amazing. Is your family one of those old friends with Dr. Song's family?"
Shen Lu shook her head: "No, we're just colleagues."
Upon hearing this, the older woman began to inquire about Song Hanzhang's preferences.
Shen Lu couldn't help but facepalm. They haven't given up yet?
