Chapter 23 My Time Doesn't Belong to You

The meeting place was a coffee shop. When Lin Shutang arrived, it was half past nine, half an hour later.

Not seeing the person at the designated table, she took the photo Zhao Lanzhi sent to the front desk and asked, "Hello, I booked table number four. Has this person arrived yet?"

The answer I got was indeed no.

So, I sat down and started browsing my Moments.

After refreshing the page, a sudden update made Lin Shutang's sliding fingers stop.

Mr. Chen just posted a photo of a coffee table with the caption "Reporting."

This was not the first time he had sent a report. Lin Shutang had seen Chen Jinyao send it several times before.

People in this circle are just ordinary people, apart from their power and status. They will also take the feelings of the people they cherish to heart.

Lin Shutang looked carefully at the furnishings in the photo and it seemed to be the same store as hers.

There was another person in the corner of the photo. Although only half of his body was exposed, Lin Shutang still recognized that this person was Li Yansheng through the tail ring.

She looked around but didn't see anyone. She looked up and saw two familiar figures sitting by the railing upstairs.

The second floor is only half a floor, and has a hollow wooden railing design. From her position, she can see the people at the railing clearly.

There weren't many people in the store in the morning, and if you listened carefully, you could hear people talking upstairs.

They didn't talk about work, and the main topic was Mr. Chen's father's illness.

Chen Jinyao: "Wanxin and I have advised him many times, but he won't listen. Even at his age, he still likes to go out all the time."

Li Yansheng: "It's a good thing for the elderly to like hiking, but just control the degree. It's unrealistic to completely prevent them from going out."

Chen Jinyao took a sip of his coffee, then put the cup down. "I hope he'll behave himself after he gets out of the hospital this time."

There was some helplessness in his tone.

When the blind date arrived, it was exactly eleven o'clock, and Lin Shutang stood up with his bag.

Seeing that she seemed to be leaving, the man quickened his pace.

"Are you Lin Shutang?" As he spoke, the man looked back and forth at Lin Shutang.

"Yes, but I have to leave now."

"Aren't you here for a blind date with me?" the man asked in surprise.

"Yes, but our appointment is from nine to eleven. The rest of my time doesn't belong to you. Besides..." Lin Shutang paused, smiled lightly, and said, "You don't really want a marriage partner."

Lin Shutang knew this man.

Jin Yiming, the second son of the Jin family, was twenty-five years old. His father had founded the Jinyue Group, which was ranked among the top fifteen in Beijing. Indeed, as Zhao Lanzhi had said, he had a good family background and was of the right age.

It's a pity that he doesn't like women. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Lin Shutang's turn to go on a blind date with someone from his family.

The Feng family didn't know about this, but Lin Shutang knew about it.

Speaking of which, this matter is related to Jiang Qinyuan. She said that the second son of the Jin family, who was 28 years old and had never had a girlfriend, got drunk one day and brought a man home. His mother saw them lying naked on the sofa, covered only by a bath towel, with a bottle of lubricant next to them.

Jin's parents wanted to stop their son from having such thoughts, so since that day, they have been arranging blind dates for him and even set their sights on Jiang Qinyuan.

However, the Jiang family's conditions are similar to those of the Jin family, and there are always a few people in the same circle that they hang out in.

Jiang Qinyuan knew about their son's situation before Jin's parents did, so naturally she would not agree to fall into this fire pit.
