Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Which daughter will you introduce to me today? ...

The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the most magnificent villa in "Guiyuan". Lu Yanxiao got out of the car and looked at the message the girl replied to on his phone. It seemed as if the dark night around him was lit up. The corners of his lips curled up and he walked into the yard slowly.

Before he entered the house, his grandfather Lu Qingye's voice came from inside. It was obvious that he was urging his eldest brother Lu Sijian to get married, and he was scolding him without any scruples even though he hadn't even entered the house.

"You two brothers are trying to piss me off to death. You're already in your thirties, how long are you going to put off getting married?"

"Si Jian, I'm very pleased that you're so devoted to your work, but you should also take some time out to think about starting a family!"

"You're a good kid. Grandpa knows you have it all figured out, so I won't say much. That bastard Yan Xiao doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't behave properly all day long. You should help me keep an eye on him."

Lu Yanxiao frowned and held the door handle, wondering whether to go in.

Every time I was ordered to return to the old house, this happened.

His eldest brother, Lu Sijian, wasn't his biological brother; he was an orphan his parents had adopted from an orphanage before he was born. He was four years older, gentle and steady, and now managed the Lu Group. While his grandfather treated them equally in matters of family and the group, even favoring his eldest brother, since they weren't his biological children, he was incredibly kind to him and never harshly criticized him.

Therefore, every time he talked to the two brothers, it would eventually turn into a criticism meeting of him, his own grandson.

Since he was in a good mood tonight, it would be better not to be affected. Lu Yanxiao turned around and decided not to go back to listen to the old man's nagging.

Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps out, there was a sound of a door opening behind him, followed by the voice of Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper: "Boss Xiao, it's so cold, why don't you come in? Director Lu and Director Jian are both inside."

Failed to escape.

Lu Yanxiao straightened his clothes, adjusted his state, and strode in.

As soon as he entered the house, Lu Qingye scolded him: "You little brat, you still remember to come back?! If I hadn't asked Uncle Zhang to urge you, would you have forgotten that you have a grandfather like me?"

"How could that be? I'm so filial."

Lu Yanxiao smiled mischievously and placed the calligraphy and painting he had prepared in advance in front of Lu Qingye. "Look, I put a lot of effort into getting this."

This kid always does this. I want to shut him up with gifts.

"Take it away quickly." Lu Qingye pushed the calligraphy and painting aside, "Don't try to fool me today."

It seems that the old man is very angry today.

Lu Yanxiao took off his coat as a cover and exchanged glances with Lu Sijian as if inadvertently. Lu Sijian shook his head slightly at him, motioning him to look at his phone.

"I've been busy lately, so I came back as soon as I was done." Lu Yanxiao responded to the old man evasively while going to the refrigerator to get some water and taking the opportunity to glance at his phone.

Lu Sijian sent him two words: [Empty]

The old man was incredibly well-informed; nothing could be hidden from him. However, Kong Ying was merely a minor partner to the Lu Corporation, at most a pretext for the old man's rant today. He simply claimed that Kong Ying acted recklessly because he had no family and no one to look after him, and that he would undoubtedly end up forcing him into a blind date.

Lu Yanxiao took a sip of water and lazily sat down on the sofa: "Tell me, which daughter do you want to introduce to me today?"

Lu Qingye was stunned, and the accusations he had prepared were suddenly extinguished. However, as long as the goal was achieved, it was fine.

The old man glanced at Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, give him your contact information."

"I'm telling you, you have to talk to the girl properly. This time you won't make the mistake."

Lu Yanxiao laughed: "Change your words."

Lu Qingye glared at him: "This time it's true. The little girl is the granddaughter of an old comrade I haven't seen for decades. I've seen her photos and videos. She's good-looking and has a good personality. Oh, and she's a PhD."

"Grandpa, are you discriminating against academic qualifications?"

Lu Qingye was successfully angered again and said sternly, "Lu Yanxiao, I'm telling you, if you act recklessly this time, I won't let you off. I told you that the girl is a doctor, so I meant that you should be polite and humble when chatting with her, and be aware of your own shortcomings. The little girl is more than enough for you, so you better take the initiative."

"Brother, listen to this. Grandpa thinks I'm just that insufferable." Lu Yanxiao said as he stood up. "Well, I won't be an eyesore if I'm not here."

"Stop!" Lu Qingye shouted.

Lu Yanxiao forced a smile and replied soothingly, "I understand. I promise we'll have a good chat this time." He then turned to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Zhang, remember to send me your contact information."

When I walked out of the villa gate, the housekeeper sent me the contact information: a phone number and the name of the blind date girl "Qingqing".

Lu Yanxiao didn't bother to look closely and just took a screenshot and threw it to Wang Qian: [Same as always, you figure it out.]

This is not the first or second time that the old man has forced Lu Yanxiao to go on blind dates.

Wang Qian knew very well that President Xiao had never had any thoughts about dating anyone over the years, but due to the old man's health condition, in most cases he had no choice but to agree. The contact information of the blind date would then be passed to him, and he would be responsible for making the conversation go bad or delaying it. For this reason, he was given a mobile phone specifically for dealing with these blind dates.

Recently, Xiao finally met the person he truly cared about—the girl named Lin Mo. From the beginning in the hospital, to borrowing and returning mobile phones, designing and delivering cars, to today's termination of cooperation with Kong Ying, everything shows that Xiao is pursuing Lin Mo.

Then he must end this blind date more efficiently this time to avoid affecting his boss's true feelings.

Wang Qian quickly replied to Lu Yanxiao: [Okay, boss.]

*

Two days later, Grandpa's health condition improved, and Lin Mo relaxed a little. Only then did she have the mind to deal with the troublesome matter - informing everyone that her wedding had been cancelled.

As expected, once the news was released, for most of the next day, people kept calling and sending messages, some asking what was going on, some trying to comfort her, some cursing Xu Tingzhou, and some introducing her to new people...

Xu Jinyan, her mother who was far away in France, overcame the time difference and had a half-hour long video call with her.

Even her French stepfather was startled. He said in broken Chinese, "Lin Mo, I'm so sorry about this. You definitely need your mother's company right now. It's because of me that you're so far apart. Even if the wedding is canceled, our plans to visit you this year won't change. I'll apologize to you in person when we get there."

The stepfather is a typical European gentleman, the kind of person who would meticulously take care of his hair when going out to buy groceries. He was deliberately being funny just to make her happy.

Lin Mo was deeply moved, but also felt guilty. She least wanted to trouble others, but she didn't expect to make so many people worry in the end.

For a moment, she didn't know how to face her good friend Wei Wei who stood up for her.

Wei Weiren was still on a business trip. Due to work during the day, she had no time to look at her mobile phone. At eight o'clock in the evening, a video call came to her. The moment she answered the call, the sound was deafening.

"Lin Mo, you actually hid it from me!"

"Are we still good friends?!"

"The whole world knew, except me! On my way back to the dorm, several people asked me, 'Did Lin Mo break up?' and 'Why did Lin Mo suddenly cancel the wedding?' I even told them off, telling them to stop talking nonsense. I'm your best sister, and if anything happens to you, I'll definitely be the first to know. Ah, I'm so angry!"

"I'm going to break up with you for one minute!"

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Lin Mo endured it obediently and waited for Wei Wei to vent.

In the minute of silence after "breaking up the friendship," she fearlessly tried to make amends: "Wei Wei, I was the first to tell you. It's because you didn't check your phone that you seem to be the last to know. Seriously, I swear, I'll take a screenshot to show you the time."

Lin Mo quickly sent the screenshot over, and to make it more conspicuous, she circled the sending time in red.

"Okay, I believe you." Wei Wei was instantly coaxed by her good friend's sweet explanation with a hint of coquettishness.

She wasn't really angry, she was just worried that her good friend would be sad, so she deliberately made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. She didn't expect that Lin Mo was so gentle and could let go so easily, she was worthy of being her good sister.

"It's a good thing to stay away from scumbags in time. Congratulations on being single again. I..."

Wei Wei was halfway through her words when she keenly noticed that Lin Mo's clear eyes were dazed for half a second. Although it was fleeting, she was sure that she was not mistaken. This guy must still have something on his mind. Could it be that he couldn't let go of Xu Tingzhou?

"Lin Mo, tell me the truth, are you still thinking about that scumbag?"

"How could it be? That kind of rubbish!" Lin Mo subconsciously perked up and denied it excitedly.

"Then you..." Wei Wei pretended to be angry, "Are we still good friends? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Lin Mo wrinkled her nose and thought it best to tell the truth. She really wanted to find someone to talk to.

"Wei Wei, actually my grandfather is not in good health."

Mentioning her grandfather, tears welled up in Lin Mo's eyes. "His condition has stabilized, but he's much weaker than before. I..." She found it difficult to speak, but she still said it, "I kind of want to go on a blind date."

"What! Are you crazy, Lin Mo! We won't be hit once, this is not you!"

Lin Mo smiled bitterly.

She no longer cared about breaking up with Xu Tingzhou or not.

When she was a child, she witnessed her parents' love with her own eyes. Now, she still witnesses them being happy with their new partners. She believes in the existence of beautiful love and looks forward to beautiful love, but her parents' divorce also made her understand that an independent self is far more important than love.

Therefore, my principle in relationships has always been to let nature take its course: if there is a relationship, I will treat it sincerely and maintain it well; if not, I will not be anxious or force it, I will love myself first and work hard.

But after Grandpa fell ill this time, his body was severely damaged. He used to be able to walk around occasionally with a cane, but now he is completely dependent on a wheelchair. He is increasingly confused and often cries like a child, calling her "Qingqing" by name, worried that he won't see her get married and that no one will take care of her after he passes away.

She pretended to smile every day to make her grandfather happy, but in fact her heart was broken.

Grandpa is the most important person in her life, and for his sake, she came up with the idea of ​​a blind date.

"This is the fastest way I can think of to find a partner right now." Lin Mo said seriously.

Wei Wei sighed and said solemnly, "But Bao, what about your own happiness? Nothing can be done at the expense of yourself."

"Blind dates are just a way to meet new people." Lin Mo smiled optimistically, speaking in a relaxed tone, "Maybe I can meet my Mr. Right."

Although I cannot fully agree with it, now that things have come to this, why not think positively?

Wei Wei changed the subject and started a new chapter. "For our beautiful lady Lin, that's a piece of cake. Let me tell you, classmate Lin Mo, if you become single again, many people will be very happy."

Lin Mo had been enrolled in the gifted youth program, making her the youngest among her batch of PhDs who joined the group. Striking in both appearance and ability, her first two years at the company coincided with the final stages of development for a new model, leaving her incredibly busy. Even in this tense situation, she was met with countless expressions of affection and offers of introductions.

"Someone in our department asked me about you before, wanting to meet you. When they heard you had a boyfriend, they were so upset. I bet that when you get back from vacation, the entrance to your research building will be blocked by so many people wanting to introduce you to someone."

"It's not that exaggerated." Lin Mo laughed out loud because of her amusingness.

Wei Wei's words are exaggerated, but they do exist.

The Aviation Group is located in Changli Town, a relatively peaceful town where marriage is common at an early age. Coupled with the nature of the company, regardless of gender, as long as the individual is single and well-off, there are people who will arrange for a partner when they reach the right age. She experienced this deeply during her first year of work, and it wasn't until she confirmed her relationship with Xu Tingzhou that the situation finally subsided.

As soon as she announced the cancellation of her wedding today, several people tried to introduce her to blind dates in a roundabout way, and for the first time, she did not explicitly refuse.

"Wei Wei, you must help me with some advice when the time comes."

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone showed that there was an incoming message. Lin Mo switched to the video chat interface and saw that it was a WeChat friend request. The other party sent three verification notes in a row.

Qingqing?
