"Oh my god, darling, you know what? Shen Jingxiu smiled at me! Who said he was such a cold and aloof person? I think the rumors are wrong! Come here right now, I'm touching up my makeup in the bathroom, come and give me some advice!"
Halfway through the meal, Wen Yan went to the restroom, and as soon as she closed the cubicle door, she heard this sentence.
The big iceberg, Shen Jingxiu, could it be the Shen Jingxiu she knows?
What a coincidence that he was at this restaurant too?
And he was on a date with a woman?
However, in the original owner's memories, Shen Jingxiu never seemed to have any women around him, otherwise the original owner and Qiao Kexin would not have set their sights on him.
This is getting interesting.
Driven by her gossipy nature, Wen Yan immediately perked up her ears.
Soon, another person joined them from outside.
They probably thought there was no one else in the restroom, so they started chatting without any restraint.
The woman's voice said, "Actually, I didn't expect him to agree to the blind date tonight until I met him in person. Honey, I'm afraid I might miss this opportunity. Do you have any ideas on how I can win him over tonight?"
"Are you in such a hurry tonight?"
"Oh dear, what era are we living in? If you like someone, what's so strange about having a deeper conversation? You'd better help me think of a solution. You always have the most ideas, and it just so happens that you're here tonight."
"Okay, okay, let me think... I've got it! In a bit, I'll take a glass of red wine and pretend to bump into an acquaintance as I walk past him. Then, I'll pretend to accidentally spill the wine on his crotch. You know, that's an awkward spot, he definitely won't want to stay in the restaurant any longer, and then you can leave. It's late at night, so you'll say you don't have a car and ask him for a ride. When you get to your apartment building, you'll invite him up for a bit and help him clean his pants or something. I don't need to tell you what to do after that, right?"
"Do you even need to tell me? But can you really aim that accurately?"
"Don't underestimate me, I guarantee I'll hit the bullseye!"
"Alright! We'll do it your way. I'm going to take him down tonight. He's the eldest son of the Shen family!"
"Okay, I'll go get ready first. You should go back to your seat too."
"Okay, you go first, I'll just touch up my lipstick."
After saying that, the two left the bathroom one after the other.
When Wen Yan followed, she saw the long-haired woman sitting at the table behind her.
No way? Wen Yan's eyes widened. So the man sitting back to back with her was actually Shen Jingxiu?
Could it be that he overheard her lying about how the Shen family cut off her allowance?
This rounding is practically equivalent to spreading rumors about the person in question.
If he complains to Shen's parents, will she really lose her allowance?
That's 200,000! Who in their right mind would turn down 200,000?
It seems she has to step in and help Shen Jingxiu.
A blind date who tries to sleep with you using underhanded methods is not a good blind date; it's better to get rid of such a bad romantic prospect.
Wen Yan quickly returned to her seat.
As soon as she sat down, Shen Jingxiu heard a sentence.
[But what if he's also willing to be seduced by his blind date? If I stop his blind date plans, wouldn't I be ruining his chances?]
Shen Jingxiu: ...The blind date's seduction and plan? They both went to the bathroom just now, could it be that Wen Yan overheard something in the bathroom?
He only agreed to have this meal because he couldn't resist his mother's nagging and just went through the motions.
Could it be that the lady opposite me has misunderstood something?
It seems he should have made his point clearer.
“Ms. Yao, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to have this meal. But we both know that this was arranged by our elders. I didn’t really mean it. I hope you can understand. After the meal, you can tell your family that I don’t meet your criteria for a partner.”
[Hmm? So he was forced into this situation. Well, he's already 27, almost 30. If he doesn't find a partner and settle down soon, Ms. Su should be worried.]
Shen Jingxiu: ...Is 27 really that old? What is she thinking about all day long?
Ms. Yao, sitting opposite Shen Jingxiu, said, "But Mr. Shen, I think we get along quite well. Maybe we can give it a try."
"I don't want to waste Miss Yao's time, and we've only exchanged three sentences since we met, so we can't really say we've hit it off. I'm finished eating, where's Miss Chen?"
"Wait a minute! The dessert hasn't arrived yet. Since we're already here, Mr. Shen, would you please have dessert with me? This dessert shop is very famous. Maybe my mom will ask me how the dessert was when we get back. Let's go all the way."
[Wow, Shen Jingxiu is really heartless. But this Miss Yao is quite something; even after being so coldly rejected, she still managed to say something like that. I bet she's just stalling for time. Next, it'll be her accomplice's turn. Should I help Shen Jingxiu or not? Let me spin this spoon; if the handle points at me, I'll help him.]
[Sigh, never mind, I won't share this anymore. I don't have time. Miss Yao's accomplice is already here. Shen Jingxiu, you'll owe me a favor now.]
Just as Wen Yan was thinking this, a woman carrying a glass of red wine was walking in their direction.
Before that woman could get there, Wen Yan immediately got up and walked to Shen Jingxiu's side.
Her face was beaming with smiles: "Big brother, what a coincidence that we run into each other while having a meal! Are you out having dinner with friends too?"
