After swimming in his own pool for over an hour, Ji Yuan finally washed away the lingering smell of sweat and fatigue.
Those guys were really crazy!
Thinking back to when he left the stadium with Patriot One, he had run into a large wave of fans who had come from home and work to the city gym, which scared him into running away.
"Mom, I participated in the National Robot Competition and won first place!"
Once Ji Yuan had some free time, he immediately reported this good news to his 'Empress Dowager.'
"Uh-huh."
On the other end of the line, Mother Ji was probably applying a facial mask. She didn't seem too surprised by the news and praised him as usual, saying, "I knew it; my son is the best."
In the past, Ji Yuan often participated in various competitions, bringing home first-place trophies each time. Over time, both he and his parents had grown accustomed to such victories.
They no longer celebrated with the same exuberance as they did the first time, when they felt like beating drums and sharing the news with all their relatives and friends.
Ji Yuan smiled, guessing that his mom probably hadn't watched the live broadcast; otherwise, she would have been unable to sit still. After all, he hadn't mentioned it to her in advance.
Who would pay attention to a robot competition if nothing else was going on?
Otherwise, with Mother Ji's keen eye, she would have known that this event was quite significant.
"Hey, son, how about I introduce you to a girlfriend?"
Mother Ji was probably determined this time, insisting on introducing a partner for her son, urging him to hurry up and give her a grandchild. Therefore, without waiting for Ji Yuan to agree or not, she introduced the other party's situation: "She's the daughter of the Yang Family, 25 years old, 172 cm tall, a PhD in Finance from Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology. She's currently gaining experience in the family business; she's quite a nice girl. Most importantly, she has never been in a relationship."
Ji Yuan felt a mix of disbelief and annoyance at Mother Ji's impulsive matchmaking. It wasn't that he couldn't find a partner; he had only agreed to that selfish woman because she pursued him, and he found dating too troublesome.
He recalled what Mother Ji said about that girl—she was indeed stunning, with an oval face and almond-shaped eyes, and unlike other girls, she didn't wear heavy makeup or drown herself in perfume. A PhD was impressive enough, and she was still a virgin.
"Mom, please stop trying to set me up. She's not even my type!"
Although that woman had excellent qualities, marrying her wouldn't be easy. Nowadays, men preferred delicate and dependent women; no one wanted to bring home a warrior. Even Ji Yuan couldn't escape this trend.
Mother Ji: "... "
She detected a hint of disdain in Ji Yuan's words. Did he look down on the Yang Family girl she introduced?
"Are you rejecting her because she's older than you?" Mother Ji asked tentatively.
In her view, a woman three years older is like holding a gold brick! When looking for a daughter-in-law, choosing someone slightly older usually means she is more mature and won't act like those immature little girls who don't understand how to care for their man, only knowing how to ask for this and that.
She would never agree to let her son bring such a clueless woman into their home!
Ji Yuan was momentarily taken aback and quickly said, "That's not an issue right now. Besides, at my age, there's no need to rush! How about you and Dad make an effort to have another son for me?"
Mother Ji was just turning forty this year. If her father were ambitious enough, they might actually have another child, sparing her mother from constantly focusing on her own matters.
The family business was all managed by her father. Her mother spent her days either getting beauty treatments or playing cards, occasionally trying to spice things up by catching a mistress in the act. Life had been quite dull otherwise.
If her parents were busy with the endeavor of having another child, they definitely wouldn't keep such a close watch on her.
Mother Ji felt a stir of emotions, her face showing a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Get lost! No wonder you're like this; you take after your father!"
Ji Yuan: "..."
