"But we aren't related by blood..." Tianxin retorts weakly.
"It's not about whether we are related by blood or not. The ties between our families have been deep for many years—how would it look if others found out? And what about today when your Aunt Chen called me? I thought she was playing a joke on me. Just think about the two of you—Chen Yiran is seven years older than you, right? Even if the gap between every generation is three years, that puts two generational gaps between you two, right? Plus, you're still in school, and he's already working. A while ago, I even heard that someone in his family was arranging a blind date for him. How did you two suddenly end up together?"
After hearing these words, Chen Shanshan lifts her head towards Tianxin's mother and says, "Auntie, don't listen to random gossip. Those are just people trying to set my brother up. In reality, my brother hasn't attended any blind dates. The only time he did was when Tianxin and I sabotaged it."
