Chapter 340 The young lady wants to go on a blind date

Abstinence is impossible.

Despite saying he would give Mia a day off, Boss Jiang still dragged her around all day.

When Mia left the hotel, clutching her aching back, she felt like every step she took was unsteady.

I hope he didn't ruin his body!

Should she go to the hospital to get some medicine to nourish her kidneys and strengthen her constitution?

Just as I was thinking this, Jiang Yan called again.

Mia hung up the phone.

Then another call came in, it was Jiang Yan again; he hadn't given up at all.

"Boss Jiang, I just came out."

She came out of the hotel suite five minutes ago. Before leaving, Jiang Yan hugged her and clung to her for a long time. What's going on now?

Jiang Yan's pleasant voice came through: "I'll make you wait a moment. I'll drive you there."

"No need, Mr. Jiang, I've already hailed a taxi. Don't cross any more lines, okay? Once we leave the hotel, we'll be strangers, alright? Okay, that's all, bye-bye."

After answering her own questions for a long time, Mia hung up the phone.

Jiang Yan had just taken a shower at the hotel, her hair still dripping wet, and sighed helplessly as she looked at her blacked-out phone screen.

The little girl still doesn't want to get too close to him, which is a bit of a problem.

Jiang Yan sat on the sofa, deep in thought, realizing he needed to do something.

So he opened his phone again and called his assistant: "Go and investigate Mia and that guy named Surong thoroughly, and give me a detailed report."

Jiang Yan disliked Su Rong, but to understand Mia's past and feelings, she naturally had to deal with Su Rong.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

After leaving the hotel, Mia took a taxi directly home, took a shower, and slept for a while before finally feeling refreshed.

As a modern young person who knows how to treat themselves, besides sleeping with handsome men, of course, they also need to have delicious food and movies to accompany them.

Mia ordered four or five takeout meals for herself in one go, and then found a new romantic movie starring one of her favorite male actors to watch.

But because the movie plot was so sad, Mia cried so much while watching it that she couldn't even eat her takeout and snacks.

Even when her own sister, Miko, called her, she couldn't stop crying.

"Ya Ya! What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you? You have to tell me! I'm coming over to help you right now!"

Miko was quite frightened, and Mia's voice sounded as if something terrible had happened.

Mia grabbed a tissue and quickly wiped away her tears, hurriedly explaining into the phone, "No, sister, no one bullied me. I was watching a movie, and the movie was so touching that I cried."

Mi Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my, you almost scared me. It's alright, I'm glad you're okay. You messaged me yesterday saying you're on vacation. When are you coming home? Your parents are really worried about you."

"Tomorrow, sister, I'll drive home in the morning."

"Okay, then drive carefully and don't rush."

"Okay, I'll bring you some local specialties from City A back with you."

Mia hung up the phone, looked at the movie that was still halfway through, checked the time, and decided to stop watching for now; otherwise, her eyes would really swell up.

After washing up, Mia went back to her big bed and went to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, after buying local specialties and gifts for her family, Mia drove back to her home city, Z, which was next door.

There was a fair amount of traffic on the highway, but thankfully there was no congestion. After driving for three hours on the highway, Mia got off and drove onto the main road. After another hour, she finally arrived back at the door of her detached house.

After hearing the noise, Mi's parents and her older sister Mi Ke all came out.

Mia opened her arms wide and embraced her family whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Dear Mom, Dad, and Sister, I miss you so much!"

In the blink of an eye, Mia was embraced by her family and eagerly led into the house.

The nanny, Aunt Liu, stood at the door and greeted, "Miss Mia is back! It's been so long!"

Mia laughed and said happily, "Yes, I brought you all gifts. Open them and see them later."

"Oh dear, Miss even brought me a gift! What am I going to do?" Aunt Liu said, flustered.

Mia said, "Aunt Liu, why are you being so polite with me? We're all family."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Miss Mia."

Mia's parents missed their daughter terribly, especially Mia's mother, who held Mia's hand and asked her for a long time about things like whether she was eating well, how her life was, how her work was, whether she was used to her place, and whether she wanted the family to move to a bigger new house for her.

Dad said, "Oh dear, our daughter just got back, don't ask so many questions, okay? Let her rest for a while. You must be exhausted from driving. How about Dad hires a driver to pick you up from get off work and take you out?"

Mia laughed helplessly: "Dad! You're even more exaggerated than Mom. I'm fine, so you don't need to worry. Besides, City A has everything, and it's even more prosperous than here. You won't be shortchanged, so don't worry. Look how calm my sister is. You should learn from her."

Mom said, "Come on, your sister thought you were being bullied yesterday and almost took people to your place overnight. Luckily, she found out you were just watching TV."

Miko was also a little embarrassed: "Alright, alright, Yaya is back, let's not talk about this anymore. Lunch will be ready soon, Yaya, wash your hands and change your clothes before coming down to eat."

Mia jumped up from the sofa excitedly: "Let's do it right away, I've been craving this at home so much."

"I made all your favorite dishes. Go on, you can eat as soon as you come down."

Mia hadn't had a home-cooked meal in a long time, and when she took the first bite, she was so moved that she almost cried.

"It's so delicious! Homemade food is always the best!"

Mom said with relief, "If you like to eat, you can come home more often. You can eat as much as you want. It must be tiring for you to work hard outside. Wouldn't it be better to come home sooner and stay with us like your sister?"

“Mom, my sister also built her own career. What’s the difference between me and my sister?” Mia said, slurping up her ribs.

"How can that be the same? Your sister stayed in Z City, got married and had children, and is still with us. You're different. You're going to such a big city all by yourself. How much work pressure will you face?"

"I don't feel tired at all. I really enjoy designing. My boss is also a very nice older sister. She takes good care of me, so you don't need to worry."

"How can we not worry? When your child is out there, what parent wouldn't worry?"

This is a well-worn topic, and Mia doesn't even know how to explain it anymore.

"Mom and Dad, I know you mean well, but I'm really doing quite well out there. I'm very comfortable living in the house you bought me, and I enjoy my job. I also have quite a few friends over there, so you really don't need to worry."

Mia's parents wouldn't listen to any of this. No matter what Mia said, they believed that their little daughter was suffering outside.

"Don't say those things. How can you possibly get better on your own? You don't even have anyone to take care of you."

After Mi's mother finished speaking, Mi Ke continued, "No? Don't you have a boyfriend, what's his name, Su?"

"Yeah, Ya Ya, where's your boyfriend? Didn't he bring you back from your vacation?"

Mia confessed, "Mom and Dad, sister, I've broken up with Su Rong. Please don't mention him anymore."

"Huh? You broke up? When did that happen?"

Mia replied, "We broke up a long time ago, and I'm doing quite well now."

"Oh, Yaya, what's so good about that? You can't do that, you know? How can you manage alone? If something happens or there's an accident, there'll be no one to take care of you."

“What’s there to take care of? I can hire a nanny or a part-time worker. If I go to the hospital, I can hire a caregiver. I can manage on my own.”

"You silly child, what do you know? You'll just want someone to be with you when the time comes."

Mia was clearly speechless about this.

"Mom, your thinking is outdated. It's not from that era anymore. In this day and age, happiness is all the rage. As long as you're happy, anything is fine."

Mi's mother strongly disagreed: "No, no, daughter. It's perfect that you're back. Your Uncle Li's son is back from abroad. When we met the other day, Uncle Li wanted you two young people to meet. Why don't you meet him this time?"

As she spoke, Mi's mother took out her phone and called the legendary Uncle Li.

Mia almost choked on her water and looked at her older sister, Miko.

"Sister, aren't you going to do anything about Mom? I just got back, and she's already trying to send me away??"

Miko shrugged: "I can't help it. You know, even if I protest, Mom won't listen."

Mia asked, "Is it too late for me to leave now?"

"It's probably too late. If you dare to leave, Mom will have the bodyguards stop you at the door. Simply put, you definitely can't escape."

Mia smiled awkwardly, suddenly finding the food in her hands losing its appeal.

Mia's mother was incredibly efficient; before Mia had even finished her meal, the blind date was already arranged.

"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, your Uncle Li's son will come to our house to pick you up. You two young people can go out for a walk, have a good stroll, chat a lot, and hopefully make some friends."

Mia fell silent and looked at her father: "Dad, can you do something about my mom? I just got home, and she won't let me stay here."

Dad: "Your mom makes all the decisions at home, so listen to her."

Mia realized that she couldn't escape the blind date arrangement anytime soon.

Whether she wanted to go or not, Mia was forced to go under her mother's tyranny.

Mom even reminded her as she went upstairs to rest, "Get up early tomorrow and dress up nicely so you won't be late. Make a good impression, okay, Ya Ya?"

"knew--"

Mia reluctantly climbed the stairs and returned to her room at home.

The room still retains her aesthetic from her teenage years, with an entire wall displaying her favorite figurines and celebrity photocards, though these are no longer the things she likes now.

As Mia approached, she saw a Lego brick in the display case, which she had carefully placed in the very center of the display.

Mia remembered that it was a birthday gift Su Rong had given her. She loved it so much back then and treasured it carefully. Now, it seemed ironic.

She was angry, so she simply took out the Lego bricks and everything in the room related to Su Rong and threw them into the trash can.

After doing all this, Mia clapped her hands.

It's so much cleaner now that it's been cleaned up.

The phone rang; it was Jiang Yan calling.

Mia was in a good mood, so she answered the call.

"What are your orders, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yan asked, "You seem to be in a good mood after returning home. Are you very happy?"

"Of course! When you're on vacation and at home, you have no obligation to be in a bad mood."

Jiang Yan chuckled twice: "So where are you going tomorrow? I can—"

Just as Jiang Yan was about to suggest that he could visit Mia tomorrow, his assistant sent him Mia's information. He wanted to take this opportunity to meet his future father-in-law's family.

"I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm going to meet with my mother's friend, who is also the son of my Uncle Li."

Jiang Yan's voice immediately turned cold: "What did you say? Where are you going?"

"Shopping, eating, that's about it."

"Are you going on a blind date?" Jiang Yan's voice turned several degrees colder.

"You can understand it that way, but in fact, I didn't go on a blind date. I went because of threats from my family. I have no intention of developing any romantic relationship with Uncle Li's son. I will tell him that tomorrow."

Mia was indeed thinking the same thing. When she met the person tomorrow, she would be honest with them about her feelings so that neither of them would get in the way. If they could be friends, they would; if not, they would just let it go.

Jiang Yan fell into a long silence on the other end of the phone.

When Mia heard that there was no sound, she said, "Are you still listening? Then I'll hang up. I'm going to rest."

Mia hung up the phone before Jiang Yan could finish speaking.

She had no idea how gloomy Jiang Yan's expression was on the other end of the phone.

Was the young girl joking with him? A blind date? She actually believed it.

Just when she thought there was no threat, less than a day later, blind dates were arranged for her, and there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be an engagement ceremony in a couple of days. Jiang Yan was so angry that she almost laughed.

The little girl really didn't take his words seriously.

It seems he really needs to set boundaries for the little girl.

There should be no other men in her world.

Just as the little girl drifted off to sleep, Jiang Yan had already boarded a private plane bound for Z City and secretly appeared near her.

The assistant asked Jiang Yan, "Inspector Jiang, this is the information of the person Miss Mia is going to meet tomorrow: Li Yi. He is thirty years old and has been working in an investment bank abroad. His work ability is above average, and he can be considered an elite. However, he has a rather eccentric personality, does not interact much with women, and has no special romantic experience."

Jiang Yan listened, his eyes darting around.

"He's probably not Mia's type."

The assistant, who had been watching his boss's expression closely, knew that his boss liked Mia, so he said, "Of course. In my opinion, Miss Mia likes you very much. You also said that Miss Mia was forced by her family to meet Li Yi, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Jiang Yan's complexion visibly improved.

The assistant asked, "Inspector Jiang, shall we go see Miss Mia first thing in the morning?"

Jiang Yan waved his hand: "No need for now."

He remained still, wanting to see if the young girl truly had no interest in any man.

Jiang Yan was very confident about the situation, and he wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't prepared for.

After a comfortable sleep in her warm bed, Mia was woken up by her mother early in the morning, before she was fully awake.

"Mom, can you let me sleep a little longer? I'm really sleepy."

"Oh, Yaya, stop sleeping! It's so late! Your Uncle Li said his son has already driven over. Hurry up and get dressed!"

"I don't want to... Oh, don't pull off my blanket, Mom."

Mia's mother ignored her completely; no matter what Mia said, she had to get up now.

Mia reluctantly got up, put on makeup, changed clothes, and went downstairs with lifeless eyes. She met a young man downstairs.
