Chapter 1 Blind Date
Jiang Yining came to the cafe and went up to the second floor. When she was about to look for someone, she saw a man waving at her.
She frowned slightly, walked to the seat, and asked in disbelief, "Are you Mr. Chen?"
The other person's expression was obviously excited and surprised. "I am Miss Jiang, hello."
Jiang Yining took out his cell phone and compared the photos repeatedly.
Seeing Jiang Yining's shock, the man opened his phone and pointed at the interface. "This is my old photo. Actually, I'm still in good shape, but people's appearance changes."
Jiang Yining looked at the pot-bellied man with sparse hair across from her. She was speechless for a moment, "The introducer said you were in your early thirties and 1.8 meters tall..."
He looked barely 1.7 meters tall, and...
How can the introducer have the nerve to praise the other party as a handsome guy?
He smiled awkwardly, "That's not wrong, it starts with 3, and the height is about 1.8 meters."
The man emphasized the words "left and right". He was very satisfied with Jiang Yining. She was as beautiful as in the photo.
Jiang Yining has a small face, but her facial features are clear and delicate, her temperament is elegant and gentle, but there is a sense of coldness in her eyes that makes people feel alienated.
Although she was not wearing any makeup today, her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and she had a pair of watery almond-shaped eyes with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She was a beautiful sight sitting there quietly.
She is also a Chinese teacher in junior high school.
He was afraid that Jiang Yining would be dissatisfied with him, so he quickly tried to make amends, "Miss Jiang, although I am a little lacking in appearance, as the saying goes, men become more caring as they get older, and I have money."
"I'm divorced and have a son. If you don't want to have children after you get married, then don't have them..."
"Ha!" Jiang Yining laughed in anger, "You're still divorced and raising a child?"
"Divorced and single."
How is this different from fraud?
"I'm sorry, I don't think we are suitable." Jiang Yining didn't want to waste words with him, so she picked up her bag and was about to get up.
The man hurriedly grabbed her wrist and tried to argue, "Ms. Jiang, in addition to the 500,000 yuan betrothal gift your mother asked for, I will also add a house in the city center!"
Jiang Yining's expression suddenly turned cold. "Mr. Chen, my mother has passed away. What others promised you has nothing to do with me."
Her wrist was gripped so hard that it hurt. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, a tall figure came over and pinched the man's wrist with his slender and powerful hands, forcing him to let go of her hand.
The man's wrist felt like it was about to be broken, and his face turned pale. He said angrily, "Let go! I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business!"
He Chi increased the strength of his hands and sneered, "You also feel pain?"
"Why, you're not convinced? Do you want to go to the police station?"
Seeing that He Chi was not someone to be trifled with, the man didn't want to go to the police station, so he apologized, "Miss Jiang, I was in a hurry. I'm sorry."
The moment Jiang Yining saw He Chi, he was stunned. His heartbeat was quietly accelerating, and he could not hear what the man surnamed Chen was saying at all.
Seeing He Chi looking at her, Jiang Yining came back to her senses and nodded.
He Chi let go of the other person.
Jiang Yining looked up at He Chi. They hadn't seen each other for two years.
Teacher Lin told me that after He Chi left the police force, he went to another place to start a business with his friends and rarely returned to Lincheng in recent years.
He looked more mature and steady than he had two years ago, with a short haircut, a simple loose black T-shirt and sports shorts. He was dressed casually, with a straight and strong posture, and the arm across her face was full of strength.
He Chi has deep and strong facial features, thick eyebrows and deep eyes. When he is not smiling, he looks a little cold and distant, and his aura is sharp.
Seeing Jiang Yining's dazed look, he thought she was frightened, so he asked in a relieved tone, "Are you okay?"
There were people watching the fun in the cafe. Jiang Yining didn't want to stay here. She forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for today. I have something to go back home for. You go ahead and do your work."
He Chi walked up from behind her. She didn't see He Chi when she first went up to the second floor of the cafe.
The place is not big, and he probably heard her conversation with Mr. Chen.
Jiang Yining never thought that she would meet He Chi again after two years when she was in such an embarrassing situation.
Compared to Jiang Yining's inner panic, He Chi seemed much calmer. "It just so happens that I have nothing to do. I'll take you home."
Jiang Yining wanted to refuse, but when he saw He Chi following him, he took back his refusal.
In the car, Jiang Yining was sitting in the passenger seat. She didn't want to come for a blind date today, but her father was so annoying that she had to come to deal with it. She didn't dress up, just picked some clothes to change into and went out.
Her slender white fingers quietly tugged at the hem of her clothes.
When He Chi asked her for the address, Jiang Yining said, "Jingli Community, Pingsheng Road."
He Chi and Jiang Yining seldom spent time together, and he himself was not a very outgoing person. Seeing that she lowered her eyes and didn't really want to talk to him, he simply remained silent.
Jiang Yining had a thin layer of sweat on her palms. She rarely spent time alone with He Chi, and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.
She raised her eyes and pretended to look casually at He Chi, only to see his slender, bony hands resting on the steering wheel, with shallow blue veins winding around them, exuding a sense of power.
He Chi seemed to have paid no attention to her at all. Jiang Yining bravely raised her eyes and saw his cold and hard profile.
Just as they reached the traffic light, He Chi turned around.
Jiang Yining reacted quickly, smiling, "I heard from Teacher Lin that you and your friends were working out of town. Why are you back?"
He Chi tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingers, his tone casual, "I got tired of that fast-paced life, so I went back to Lincheng and opened a bar with my high school classmates to have some fun."
"The bar is over at Jiayu Square. Come over and sit down if you have time."
Jiang Yining was a well-behaved student when she was in school, and her mother loved her very much.
Worried that Jiang Yining might misunderstand, He Chi even explained, "It's a bar. The customers are all drinking and chatting with friends. It's called Shiyou."
Jiang Yining was a little surprised, but she could understand. He Chi had always lived a reckless and flamboyant life, which was completely different from her orderly life.
She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll bring some friends over to support you when I have time, and we can also take in the atmosphere."
In the past, Jiang Yining always kept a distance from him whenever they met, and they were not very familiar with each other, so He Chi just took it as her polite words.
Arriving at the gate of the community, Jiang Yining thanked He Chi, "I'm here, thank you for taking me back."
Jiang Yining paused and said softly, "I'm sorry to bother you today."
He Chi could see that Jiang Yining was not very willing to go on today's blind date. He didn't know much about her family situation. He only knew that her father remarried after her mother passed away.
After Jiang Yining finished speaking, he said, "You're welcome. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know. After all, we know each other."
Jiang Yining gave him a faint smile and said, "Thank you."
After getting off the car, she watched He Chi's car drive away before turning around and walking into the community.
The moment he turned around and returned to the community, the smile on Jiang Yining's face disappeared, and his eyes became colder and firmer.
