This meal did not turn out to be as awkward as I had imagined.
Although both the men and women started off a bit uneasy, where Yu Jingting was, the awkwardness simply couldn't settle in.
A few words were all it took to liven up the atmosphere, and Suizi was happy to play second fiddle.
Her mother-in-law loves to set people up when she has nothing to do, and Suizi, through constant exposure, had learned the tricks of the matchmaking trade quite thoroughly.
After praising the lady, she would turn to praise the gentleman, singing the praises of each in turn.
"My senior sister may not show off on regular days, but when it comes to our professional courses, even our tutor is full of nothing but praise for her. This year, she even published three papers in authoritative journals."
"Only two... and one of them was co-authored with a senior brother." The senior sister was a down-to-earth person, and Suizi's wild boasting made her little face turn red, adding even more charm.
