"She's on a blind date?" Si Lijue frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction flashing in his deep eyes, and an aura of authority and indifference emanating from him.

“Yes, Dad, come with me to see what Mom looks like on her blind date! We can also help her vet the candidates.” Xi Bao skipped and hopped ahead like a cheerful little bird, leading the way.

Si Lijue frowned, a strange sense of irritation rising in his heart.

This woman actually went on a blind date behind his back?

Is she really in such a hurry to find another man?

His face was frighteningly gloomy, and his gaze was coldly fixed on Xi Bao's back. He handed the two strands of hair in his hand to Lin Fei beside him and ordered in a deep voice, "Take these for DNA testing. I need to know the results as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Si." Lin Fei took the sample and turned to leave.

Si Lijue took a few big steps to catch up with Xibao and followed her to the blind date.

Finally, the father and son arrived at the place for their blind date—a coffee shop on the first floor of the shopping mall.

The man immediately spotted the woman sitting by the window. She was wearing a white dress, with long hair flowing down her shoulders. She was beautiful and charming, looking pure and lovely. Her appearance was exactly the same as it had been five years ago, without any change whatsoever.

Sitting opposite her was an unremarkable man with slightly balding hair, who looked to be around thirty or forty years old.

Si Lijue and Xi Bao remained calm and quietly walked to an inconspicuous corner to sit down and listen to the entire blind date process.

This spot, located at the corner, cleverly concealed Xi Bao and Si Li Jue's figures completely, while allowing them to clearly hear the conversation of the blind date at the next table.

"Hello, beautiful. Since we're both on a blind date, I'll get straight to the point."

"Hello, sure, go ahead and say it!"

"Aunt Wang has already told me about your general situation. I want to ask you, how much will your dowry be when we get married?"

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"Let me ask you another way: Do you own a house and a car? I am a university professor with a distinguished status and an extraordinary position. Given my status and position, I have very high requirements for my partner. I should marry a virgin heiress from a prominent family."

Look at your own situation. Not only are you a withered flower, but you also have a child to support. The only reason I'm willing to marry you is because your face is passable.

"You marrying me is a huge step up for you; you'd need a very generous dowry to be worthy of me."

“I have two cars, a BMW for grocery shopping and a Mercedes for driving around; I have three houses, one in the city center and two by the sea; and my savings balance is eight figures.”

"Haha~ I think your dowry is pretty good. I agree. We can get married right away."

"Sir, why don't you ask me if I've taken a liking to you?"

"Is there any need to say more? My conditions are beyond your reach, so of course you'd love to marry me."

"With your ugly appearance, where do you get your confidence? With my looks, I can find a man who is a hundred times, a thousand times better than you."

Since you think I'm not good enough for you, I really don't care to associate with you. Please leave immediately!

"You...you don't agree to marry me? Let me tell you, you'll regret this once you miss out!"

"Get out of here right now!"

Su Niannian glared angrily at the man in front of her, wishing she could smash the kettle in front of her, but due to her good upbringing, she ultimately held back.

Before the man on the blind date could say anything more, Si Lili, who was sitting to the side, couldn't hold back any longer. She stood up, picked up a glass of water from the table, and splashed it in the man's face.

He yelled, "Didn't you hear my sister tell you to get lost? Get out of here now! Someone like you isn't even worthy to carry my sister's shoes."

She had been listening for a long time and wanted to stand up and stop it, but she held back because she thought about Xibao's eagerness to have a father.

It's all her fault for having such a stubborn and inflexible brother! He refused to accept her kind and gentle best friend, and even made outrageous remarks five years ago, saying he would kill Niannian with his own hands!

To make matters worse, he relentlessly pursued Niannian's whereabouts, refusing to give up.

Left with no other choice, she had to help Niannian hide and protect her from her brother's persecution.

The man on the blind date was so angry that he pointed at Su Niannian and Si Lili and yelled, "You two are just ill-mannered, low-class trash. No wonder no one wants you and you can't get married. You deserve it!"

"You're fucking asking for it!" Si Lili picked up a cup as if to smash it, but Su Niannian stopped her.

When the man on the blind date saw that Si Lili was serious, he was so scared that he ran away.

Si Lili watched the blind date man flee in a panic, muttering under her breath, "That damned old man, how dare he look down on my nephew as a burden, he's really asking for trouble."

Then, she looked at Su Niannian and said, "I think this blind date guy is not good enough for my brother in any way. He's far inferior to my brother."

"Niannian, if all else fails, go to my brother and use a little seductive trick to win his heart and successfully seduce him, okay?"

"Stop! Get rid of this idea as soon as possible. I don't want to die too soon. I want to live to see my son grow up, get married, and have children."

Without a second thought, Su Niannian decisively refused, nipping Si Lili's unrealistic idea in the bud.

She had been avoiding that bastard Si Lijue for five long years, and had barely escaped with her life. She would never provoke him again and walk right into his trap.

Si Lili knew how ruthless her older brother was, and for the sake of her and Su Niannian's lives, she had no choice but to back down.

She said to Su Niannian, "Since that's the case, adjust your mindset and let's meet the next blind date."

Su Niannian glanced at Si Lili and complained, "This is the blind date you arranged for me at such a high price?"

Did you actually pay for a membership?

Why are all the people who come to blind dates so weird, and all of them are ugly and not a single one of them pleasing to the eye?

Couldn't you find a few people who are at least somewhat good-looking, people you can actually meet? I genuinely want to find someone to settle down with.

If this continues, I'm going to throw up.

Si Lili raised her right hand and swore, "Niannian, I really did become a member. We are super VIPs of this matchmaking agency."

Furthermore, the staff at the matchmaking agency said that the potential partners arranged for them today were all from good families.

As for these people, setting aside their appearance and bizarre ideas, their conditions are indeed above average.

"How about we meet a few more? For Xibao's sake, can you just bear with it a little longer?"

Su Niannian thought of Xibao constantly crying for his father and felt that she had let him down. Her nose tingled and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

She sniffed and gave in, "Fine! I'll do anything so my son can have a father."

"Blind date! Meeting! Soon! You arrange it!" After saying that, he took a big gulp of water, trying to suppress the bitterness in his heart.
