Chapter 819: Blind Date (3)

Translator: Lordbluefire

Thinking of that young man, Chu Qianshu hesitated for a moment. Over the years studying abroad, she had encountered many rich second-generation guys who were all talk and no substance. As a result, she was very resistant to anything related to arranged marriages. However, the boy she met today didn’t have the typical traits of those rich kids. He seemed innocent and kind, making her feel, for the first time, that a pure and happy relationship with him might actually be a good thing.

But just as she began to entertain these thoughts, she shook her head, feeling that she was overthinking it.

Before she could say anything, her parents’ voice came from the other end of the phone, “Alright, I’ll handle this for you. Over these years, you’ve been studying abroad without caring about the family, and we never blamed you for it. Consider this as helping your parents out for once!”

After saying this, they hung up, and Chu Qianshu received an address on her WeChat.

She sighed quietly.

Shen Ruojing looked at her with a compassionate gaze, “It’s someone else who wants to form an alliance with the Huo family, so you don’t have to force yourself.”

Chu Qianshu nodded and added, “But I still have to go through the motions. At the very least, I should meet the person. Otherwise, my parents won’t let it go.” She sighed again, “Why do 1 have so many troubles, sigh!”

Leaving these words behind, Chu Qianshu went upstairs.

Among the Chu family members, she didn’t care much for Chu Tianye and Chu Yuhuo; her favorite was Chu Xiaomeng.

The little one was sitting softly in the corner, reading a book.

Chu Qianshu walked over and asked, “Xiaomeng, what book are you reading?”

Chu Xiaomeng spoke, “I’m reading physics, auntie. Take a look here, how does this work?”

“All, this is a topic you haven’t learned yet. Let me explain…” The aunt and niece were getting along very well, huddled together as if they couldn’t be separated, extremely close.

The next day, when Chu Qianshu had to go to the arranged meeting, the two were still chatting together, discussing profound knowledge that others couldn’t understand.

Chu Qianshu glanced at the time and knew she had to leave.

But Chu Xiaomeng was enthusiastic about their conversation, and the two couldn’t possibly separate. So Chu Qianshu looked around, then suddenly said, “Xiaomeng, why don’t you come with me?”

Chu Xiaomeng immediately nodded.

Shen Ruojing had no objections either. If the people at the blind date gathered together, it might be awkward. Having a child in between might make it more comfortable for them to interact.

So, Chu Xiaomeng sat in Chu Qianshu’s car, and the two of them chatted non-stop, making the driver almost fall asleep.

Soon, they arrived at the agreed place.

Chu Qianshu and the other party had agreed to bring a rose each.

However, as soon as she entered the restaurant, Chu Qianshu realized that she had forgotten to bring the rose.

Oh well…

She would see if the other person brought a rose.

But then…

The restaurant was specifically set up for dates and blind dates. As soon as she walked in, Chu Qianshu saw that almost every table had a bouquet of roses.

Chu Qianshu,”…”

She twitched her mouth and went in.

Just as she was about to look around to find the person, a voice suddenly came from the side, “Hey, what are you doing here?”

Chu Qianshu turned her head and saw the rich second-generation guy from the mall sitting at a nearby table, looking at her in surprise.

Chu Qianshu, “…such a coincidence!”

With a smile in her eyes, she replied, “What are you doing here?”

Both of them smiled at each other and said at the same time,

“Are you here for a blind date?”

“You’re here for a blind date too?”

As soon as the words were spoken, they both burst into laughter.

The guy gestured towards the opposite side, “It’s crowded here, no seats available for now. Why don’t you sit across from me first?”

Chu Qianshu hesitated for a moment, “What about your blind date?”

The guy waved his hand, “Haha, the girl doesn’t like me, so she won’t come. I’m just here for the formalities… How about your blind date?”

Chu Qianshu sat directly across from the guy, taking Chu Xiaomeng with her, and replied, “No need to care about him!”

“Huh?”

“I mean, well, he probably doesn’t like me either, so he won’t come.” Chu Qianshu smiled faintly at the guy, then introduced Chu Xiaomeng, “This is my cousin’s daughter, Xiaomeng.”

Chu Xiaomeng looked at the guy.

The socially anxious girl blinked her eyes and thought about what her brother had told her. When she didn’t know what to say, she should ask about the stranger’s parents, “Hello, where are your parents?”

The guy was slightly stunned and then explained, “They went on a trip to a distant place.”

Chu Xiaomeng moved a little and immediately said, “Did they die?”

The guy paused.

Chu Xiaomeng immediately continued, “My brother said adults wouldn’t tell us kids the truth. If they say they went on a trip to a distant place, they must have died. Uncle, please accept my condolences.”

Chu Qianshu quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, accept our condolences…”

As soon as these words came out, they saw the guy twitching his mouth,”… My parents went on a trip to Europe! They didn’t die!”

Chu Qianshu,”?”

Chu Xiaomeng,

The two exchanged glances, and Chu Xiaomeng immediately apologized, “Uncle, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Well, they traveled without you. My condolences.”

Chu Qianshu, “My condolences…”

The guy,”!!!”

He looked at the two and suddenly burst into laughter.. Then he looked at Chu Qianshu and asked, “Nice to meet you, I’m Zeng Keyi, what’s your name?”
