“I know we really wanted to matchmake Bambam and Zijing. I told my boy about it and he really hates the idea of getting match-made. He insists that he isn’t desperate enough to consider arranged marriages and claims plenty of girls like him. He even threatened not to come home if I insisted on making him see more girls.”

“Sigh! It was impossible for me to change his mind! I’m starting to suspect he already met someone he is interested in, but he refused to tell me anything. You know about his awful temper. When we barred him from joining the army, he secretly went ahead anyway. This time, I don’t dare to force him against his will anymore. I am so sorry that things did not work out. In any case, we can’t force him to date Zijing. If the children are destined for each other, they will eventually get married. If they are not fated to be together, let’s not force them against their wills. Zijing is a great girl, so I am certain she has suitors aplenty,” said Mrs Xu.

Mrs Xu wanted to clarify the matter with Mrs Ji, but she was not stupid enough to tell the entire truth. By putting it across to Mrs Ji this way, it was not considered a lie.

The moment Mrs Ji heard what Mrs Xu said, even though she was a little disappointed and indignant, she did not blame Mrs Xu for it. To begin with, Mrs Xu had done her utmost and her son was the one who refused to consider Ji Zijing as a marriage prospect. He was so adamant about it that he threatened never to come home if they continued forcing him. She could not insist on making Bambam see her daughter. Also, she did not dare to demand this of him!

Secondly, Mrs Ji did not dare to throw a temper no matter how upset she was considering Mrs Xu’s high status.

Although they were friends, it did not mean she could speak her mind. After all, there was a huge gulf between their statuses, so she should consider it an honor that Mrs Xu was willing to befriend her.

Since Mrs Xu agreed to match-make Bambam and Ji Zijing, she was showing respect to her family. Sadly, they did not succeed in the end. Whatever it was, it was impossible for her to throw a temper at Mrs Xu. Moreover, it was no big deal, so it was not worth offending Mrs Xu over something as minor as this. If she offended Mrs Xu, all the ladies of high society would shun her. It was simply not worth provoking Mrs Xu no matter what.

“Mrs Xu, you are right. Since Bambam is strongly against it, we shouldn’t force him. If we force him to see my daughter, they will never be happy. I am sure they will eventually meet the right partner in time. Don’t you worry. I am confident he must have met a girl he likes. He must be reacting strongly about being matchmade because he genuinely likes this girl,” said Mrs Ji as she pretended to be understanding and concealed her anger completely.

“Thank you for being so understanding about it. Let’s call the girls and hang out soon,” said Mrs Xu.

“Sure thing,” acknowledged Mrs Ji. She chatted a little while more with Mrs Xu before hanging up the phone.

After Mrs Ji hung up the phone, she instantly looked sad.

Ji Zijing came close to Mrs Ji when her mother was talking to Mrs Xu, so she overheard the entire conversation. The moment she heard what Mrs Xu said, she bought it without hesitation. However, she could not help feeling absolutely resentful and disappointed.

“Sigh. Forget it. Stop thinking about it. Even though Xu Bambam is a good marrying prospect, he will never be yours. There are still plenty of other men out there! Considering our family’s high status, your good looks and ability, I am sure you will meet the right guy one day,” comforted Mrs Ji. “I know Xu Bambam is a good catch, but he is just the second son in the family and is in the military. Xu Jaebeom is bound to become the next family head, so if you marry Xu Bambam, the only thing you gain is the title of being his wife. Xu Jaebeom will end up inheriting everything else in the family one day, so I suggest finding an only son to marry. That way, no one will compete with you for the family inheritance.”
