The moment their eyes met, they both froze for a second.
Su Ping was surprised that such a coincidence actually happened; she had indeed met the girl who was on a blind date with Shen Jiayu.
Xie Kerong's gaze fell on their clasped hands, and she smiled knowingly.
She was just meeting this so-called blind date with her family today to appease them, but she never expected to make such an unexpected discovery.
She never expected that Shen Jiayu would have a girlfriend, and she had even seen the girl next to him before; her name seemed to be Pingping.
Suddenly, she remembered the last time at Jue Se, when Lingling had tried to match her brother with Pingping. It seemed like it had failed?
Or perhaps...
Thinking of another possibility, Xie Kerong's smile became somewhat meaningful.
As her gaze fell upon the two of them, Shen Jiayu subtly moved a step to the side, shielding Su Ping behind him.
“I’m here, you don’t need to be afraid of her.”
Her gaze was aggressive and scrutinizing, Shen Jiayu said softly to Su Ping.
Su Ping felt a little embarrassed and wanted to disappear into the ground.
She originally intended to portray herself as a gold digger to disgust the other party and disrupt the blind date, but she never expected that the other party would be Sister Tu Ling's friend.
When she's with people she knows, she's a little unsure how to perform.
Before the two could get close, Xie Kerong waved and greeted Su Ping, "Pingping, long time no see, come over here!"
These words made Shen Jiayu pause in his steps. He frowned slightly and looked at Su Ping behind him, his eyes full of doubt.
"You know her?"
Faced with Xie Kerong's enthusiastic greeting, Su Ping coughed twice, a little embarrassed, and nodded in response, "Yes, we know each other."
Sensing that she was trying to pull her hand away, Shen Jiayu quickly grabbed her hand tightly and walked towards Xie Kerong.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Su Ping felt somewhat helpless. It seemed she could only take it one step at a time.
Xie Kerong took the opportunity to pick up the phone on the table and send Tu Ling her location.
"Lingling, isn't my dad forcing me to go on blind dates? Guess who I saw here."
Tu Ling was bored at home these past two days because of being mobbed by Tu Hengchuan's fans, so she quickly replied: "Who?"
“I saw Pingping. She’s the girl you tricked into coming to celebrate your birthday last time. Is your brother not up to par? She’s already holding hands with the president of Shen’s Group.”
After sending the message, she saw that Shen Jiayu and Su Ping were almost upon her, so she quickly turned off her phone and placed it face down on the table.
Tu Ling seemed a bit agitated; her phone vibrated several times before she received a call.
Without a second thought, she pressed the button and immediately switched to Do Not Disturb mode.
After making this gesture, she looked up at the two people who were sitting opposite her, hand in hand, and asked knowingly, "President Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Jiayu didn't mince words and directly grasped Su Ping's hand to assert his dominance.
"It's just as you see it. I have a girlfriend, and we're getting married next year. Miss Xie can tell your family the truth when you go back."
Xie Kerong didn't speak, but instead looked at Su Ping beside her.
After a long pause, she smiled and said something meaningful: "Xiao Pingping, are you and him really together?"
Feeling Shen Jiayu pinch her palm, Su Ping had no choice but to admit it.
Seeing this, Xie Kerong sighed, looked at Shen Jiayu, and finally looked at Su Ping with a regretful expression.
What kind of look was that?
"Little Pingping, you're still young. Older men these days are very shrewd. Don't be fooled."
Hearing her openly criticize Shen Jiayu's age without giving him any face, Su Ping couldn't help but laugh.
But I still had to maintain a good expression on my face, and could only silently give her a thumbs up in my heart.
This woman really dares to speak her mind.
Shen Jiayu's face was extremely dark. It was their first meeting, so why was this woman so hostile towards him?
Is it because she felt embarrassed that she brought Pingping along today?
Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and retorted, "Miss Xie, there's no need for us to worry about our affairs."
After a pause of one second, he continued, "Now that things have been made clear, there's no need to continue this meeting. We..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Kerong interrupted, "What's the rush? Is President Shen so petty that he won't even let us catch up?"
In less than three minutes, Shen Jiayu had become the petty, narrow-minded old man she described.
Xie Kerong raised her hand to summon the waiter and said to Su Ping with a smile, "Little Pingping, order whatever you want to eat. He's reluctant to spend money, so I'll treat you."
Based on her understanding of Tu Ling, she knew that Tu Ling would definitely not sit still after realizing that his things were about to be taken away by someone else.
She was also curious about the relationship between Su Ping and them.
She loves watching love triangles and such.
Because of her few words, Shen Jiayu's competitive spirit was ignited.
He really wasn't planning on leaving. If he left now, wouldn't he really become the petty, stingy old man she described who was unwilling to spend money on his girlfriend?
Under their watchful eyes, Su Ping reluctantly ordered some items.
"By the way, I wonder if President Shen has seen the trending topics on Weibo recently."
Xie Kerong seemed to remember something and took the initiative to start a conversation with Shen Jiayu.
Su Ping suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be what she was thinking?
Weibo? He's always been too lazy to look at something like that, which is a waste of time.
Suddenly, he felt Su Ping's hand in his palm twitch, and he turned to look at her with some confusion.
