Chapter 13 Blind Date

Liu Hongying's face flushed red. She did not refute, but pulled the quilt higher with anger and grievance, hiding herself in the quilt.

His ears finally became quiet. Lin Xiangnan let out a long sigh, closed his eyes contentedly and went to sleep.

Graduation is approaching, and there is not much to do in school. Students are looking for jobs and dating.

Lin Xiangnan spent two days at school. On Sunday, as soon as she got up, Hu Meili asked her to dress up.

"Put on more vanishing cream. It's not like I didn't buy it for you."

"Change into something new. Why are you wearing these tattered clothes?"

"How did you braid your hair? It's so loose and doesn't look lively at all. Let me do it."

Lin Xiangnan protected her hair, "It's good like this. Tying your hair too tightly will cause hair loss."

"You're just being picky." Hu Meili rolled her eyes at her. "Okay, let's go. Don't be late."

Liu Hongying watched the mother and daughter's actions eagerly, and her mood became low again. She disliked the people Hu Meili introduced to her, and when she didn't have a partner, she felt empty in her heart and envied them.

Even though she wanted her daughter to stay in the city, Hu Meili had no intention of compromising, and the person she introduced to Lin Xiangnan was carefully selected.

Lin Xiangnan didn't have any expectations at first, but when she saw the handsome guy in the yard, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She looked at Hu Meili in shock, "She actually looks pretty good."

It turns out that middle-aged women have pretty good aesthetic tastes, and not every man will be praised for being good-looking.

"What do you mean by that? You still don't believe me." Hu Meili raised her chin proudly, "I don't know that you young girls just like pretty boys."

Because she was the same when she was young, she liked gentle men with a bookish air, and she fell in love with Lin Xiangnan's father at first sight.

Even if the man died early and she became a widow at a young age and remarried, she still felt it was worth it. Because she gave birth to three good-looking children, and her eldest son and second daughter were as smart as the dead man in their studies, so she got married well.

Hu Meili took Lin Xiangnan to greet the matchmaker, and then the elders from both sides sent the two young people away, leaving them alone.

"Let's go to the movies. I brought two movie tickets." Lin Xiangnan suggested.

The blind date was Zhao Qi, who had a delicate and fair face and the temperament of a talented man in the Republic of China, but his temper was not so gentle and he directly rejected Lin Xiangnan's proposal.

"There's nothing good about the movie. Let's just go for a walk in the park."

It was Lin Xiangnan’s first blind date, and he didn’t know the procedure, so he said nonchalantly, “Okay, let’s go for a walk.”

After walking a few steps, Zhao Qi said, "I heard that you have many brothers and sisters. If you can't find a job after graduation, you will go to the countryside, right?"

Lin Xiangnan looked at him strangely, "Aren't you on a blind date?"

"Your fear of hardship is unacceptable," Zhao Qi commented.

This guy looks okay, but his personality is really disgusting. Lin Xiangnan paused and said, "My feet hurt. I don't want to go to the park. Let's stand there for a while and then go back to report."

"Then let's stand here for a while." Zhao Qi didn't understand what Lin Xiangnan meant and continued, "You are very good-looking, but you just don't know how to dress up. If you didn't have a really good-looking face, I wouldn't even go for a walk in the park with you. Your braids are really ugly today."

"From the way you talk, I know you're a straight-talker, but you can't just talk with your mouth. You look like a decent person, but why don't you use your brain when you talk?"

"What do you mean? I praised you and you scolded me." Zhao Qi's face darkened.

Lin Xiangnan rolled his eyes, "Praise? Is there anyone who praises others like you?"

"That's how I compliment people. You have to get used to it."

Lin Xiangnan chuckled, turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Your temper is not good. You need to change it."

"What the hell are you changing? Are you mentally ill?" Lin Xiangnan turned around and cursed, then sped up and trotted away.

After bringing Hu Meili out of the matchmaker's house, Lin Xiangnan said directly: "No, I don't like this one."

"You didn't like it?" Hu Meili suddenly raised her voice, "Such a good offer, you didn't like it!"

"It's not possible to get it done in one try." Lin Xiangnan took the initiative to urge: "Help me find a few more, look around more, maybe there will be someone you like."

She actively participated in the blind date, but what could she do if the other party was not good enough?

Hu Meili was unwilling to give up. On the way back, she tried to persuade him with all her heart, "I think you must have misunderstood. He is a very gentle and refined person, not at all like what you said."

"This one won't work. Maybe the next one will be better. It's a new era now. We can't hang ourselves on a tree." Lin Xiangnan was unmoved. "Anyway, I won't marry this kind of person. If I marry this kind of person, I might as well go back to the countryside."

No matter what, her bottom line cannot be changed. Even if she wants to find someone to live with, she has to find someone she likes.

When it comes to going to the countryside, Hu Meili loses her temper and says with a curse: "I really owe you in my last life. I am here to work like a slave for you in this life. You can choose, choose, and see what you can choose in the end."

Although Hu Meili scolded her daughter at home, she still gave the matchmaker a reply when she turned around.

"My Xiaonan said that their personalities are not compatible, so let's forget about it this time."

"Oh~ How come it's not suitable? The Zhao family also said that Zhao Qi is very satisfied with your Xiaonan. Why did you reject her? The Zhao family has such good conditions."

"Zhao Qi's father is a leader in the company with a high salary. There is only one child in the family, so he must have plenty of money to spend. If your Xiaonan marries him, even if she doesn't have a job and just stays at home to take care of the child, she can still live a comfortable life."

"Girls from other families all want to marry into the Zhao family, but Zhao Qi has high standards and doesn't like them. Your Xiaonan is pretty and that's why he likes her. Xiaonan is young and doesn't know how to cherish her. You're already this old, and you still don't understand?"

The more the matchmaker talked, the more painful Hu Meili's heart became. "Xiao Nan is not happy about it, what can I do? This is not the old society, arranged marriages, and I can't force her to marry."

"Then you can try to persuade him again when you get home?"

Hu Meili had a bitter face and said, "I can't persuade her anymore. I talked till my mouth was dry yesterday, but she didn't change her mind."

"Okay, that's it. If there's anything good later, I'll arrange something for your Xiaonan."

The matchmaker gave up, but Hu Meili's heartache and regret were not over yet. She kept talking about Lin Xiangnan when she got home.

Everyone in the family knew that she was in a bad mood these past two days, so they all kept quiet and didn't dare to do anything to her.

After being nagged for two days in a row, Lin Xiangnan estimated that Hu Meili would be quiet on the third day, so he returned home to see guests at home.

The guest was her blind date, Zhao Qi.

What does this mean? She only cursed a few times that day, but didn't hit him. Why did she come to my house?
