Chapter 62 Boyfriend

"It's not a good idea for Manman to continue to be angry with Ayu. If I didn't see that she was unhappy, I wouldn't want to look for you about this." He Wenjing sat in the living room of the Shen family and got straight to the point.

"It's normal for young people to quarrel. I originally thought that Ayu was a good-tempered person who cared for others and would give in to Manman. I didn't expect that after so long, he still didn't take the initiative to give in and coax Manman. Doesn't he know what kind of personality our Manman has? He shouldn't blame Manman for other people's mischief."

If you ask a little about what happened on Dongyu Mountain, you will know that He Wenjing naturally supports her own child.

Fu Yun was worried, but she wasn't worried to the point of turning her elbow outward.

"Ayu has always had a good temper and never gets angry with anyone. But this time he really got mad at me. It was raining heavily and our Shuangxu was left in the wilderness. He spent an entire night looking for her. How could he not feel bad? If you put yourself in her shoes, if it was Manman, you and Lao Lu would probably tear the mountain apart."

That's true. He Wenjing couldn't keep harping on it.

"Shuang Xu from your family seems to be very well-behaved. Although she is not your biological child, she was raised in your family. You have been friends with her for so many years. A Yu treats her well, so I can't say anything. But now--" He Wenjing paused subtly.

"I've heard some of the rumors out there. I certainly don't want to look at A-Yu in that light, but isn't he being too nice to Shuang-Xu? He gave her a house and a car with great fanfare. I've never seen him care so much about us, Man-Man."

These words were like a poke at Fu Yun's scar.

"He treats Shuangxu like his sister. You also know that Mianzhi doesn't care about Shuangxu. He has taken on all the responsibilities that her parents should have taken on. Not only did he give her a house and a car, he will also help her get married in the future. Do you still not trust Ayu's character?"

"Of course I can trust you."

At this point, He Wenjing's anger dissipated, and she turned to say, "Shuangxu is the same age as Manman, and he's already 22 this year. Isn't it time to plan a wedding?"

*

Fu Yun arranged a blind date for Shuang Xu.

When Shuang Xu found out, he stopped eating with his chopsticks and was speechless for a long time.

Fu Yun said on the phone, "I've met this guy before. He's very handsome and considerate. You don't have anything to do tonight, so why don't you have dinner with him?"

Shuang Xu's voice was a little dry: "For the time being... I have no plans to fall in love."

"You are already 22 years old. How can you not be in love? Look at your sister Le Yan, she is two years younger than you. Your Aunt Cui is already helping her find a suitable family. Although girls are not in a hurry to get married, they still need to talk about love to know what kind of person is right for them."

Fu Yun's advice was very gentle, or rather, she was very careful in avoiding some minefields.

The frost sequence cannot be pushed away or derailed.

She rejected it, as if it proved that she still had feelings for Shen Yu.

Her throat was clogged, but she finally compromised: "Okay. I'll go see him."

The man's name is Wei Qian. His family background cannot compare to the three generations of officialdom of the Song family, but he is a person that Fu Yun carefully selected, so he must have outstanding qualities.

He has a successful career and his own catering brand is very successful. At a young age, he has a net worth of billions and deserves to be considered outstanding among his peers.

It was obvious that Wei Qian was very satisfied with her. After all, she was the daughter of the Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had a strong backing like the Shen family. In terms of family background, he was truly marrying above his station.

There is no shortage of wealthy people in Yancheng, but wealth is nothing more than a string of numbers in the face of real power.

And this Miss Song herself was so beautiful that she struck him astonishingly at first sight.

While the meal was being prepared, Wei Qian talked a lot. Shuang Xu was well-educated and listened attentively, occasionally smiling back or chatting with him a word or two.

From Wei Qian's perspective, this meeting was very pleasant.

But from Shuang Xu's perspective, this eloquent person talked about everything from his entrepreneurial experience to his views on the current international situation.

But I didn't ask any questions about her.

Halfway through the meal, Wei Qian finally asked a question.

"Miss Song, excuse me, have you ever had a boyfriend before?"

Shuang Xu hesitated for a few seconds between answering truthfully and lying, and decided to continue to maintain the playboy persona he had previously fabricated, so as to avoid contradictions one day.

Anyway, no one can verify what happens abroad.

"Yes."

"Oh." Wei Qian asked, "Who is the other party?"

Shuang Xu glanced at him and said, "Man."

Wei Qian smiled awkwardly.

Shuang Xu knew that what he really wanted to find out was the other party's background. It might be for comparison, or it might be for other purposes. Anyway, she didn't care. There was no need to answer this question.

Besides, she couldn't come up with anything more specific. Lies with details are more likely to have loopholes.

After dinner, Wei Qian called the waiter to settle the bill.

The waiter in a bow tie bowed and said, "Sir, your bill has already been settled."

Wei Qian's expression froze, and his gaze suddenly turned to Shuang Xu: "Have you ever had a wedding?"

When a woman secretly pays the bill, it usually means that she is dissatisfied with the blind date and does not want to continue contact with him.

To put it bluntly, she just didn't like him, which made Wei Qian feel a little embarrassed.

Shuang Xu went to the bathroom during the incident, so she had the time to commit the crime. But she was also confused: "It wasn't me."

She asked the waiter, "Who paid the bill?"

"Yes, Mr. He." The waitress raised her head and looked in a certain direction while speaking, and Shuang Xu followed her gaze.

He Tingzhou was having dinner with several foreigners in suits at a rectangular dining table covered with a clean white tablecloth.

They were talking about something, and He Tingzhou seemed to be concentrating, but when Shuang Xu looked over, he just happened to glance sideways.

He crossed his long legs, leaned back in a leisurely posture on the chair, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and turned back.

Shuang Xu didn't understand what that micro-expression meant.

Wei Qian asked: "Who is that?"

"My brother's friend."

Shuang Xu didn't want to say more, but Wei Qian had a keen sense of business: "His last name is He? Which He family?"

Shen Yu's friends were most likely of unusual status, and He Tingzhou's natural demeanor was nurtured in absolute power. A man standing at the center of power exudes effortless dignity even from the corners of his clothes.

Without waiting for Shuang Xu to answer, Wei Qian straightened his clothes, stood up and walked towards the table.

Frost Xu was too late to stop it.

"Mr. He, nice to meet you." Wei Qian extended his hand with a smile on his face, "Wei Qian."

He Tingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, then naturally slid towards Shuang Xu who was coming behind him.

Shuang Xu frowned slightly, staring at Wei Qian's back with impatience in his eyes.

The Crown Prince might have been having a good time today, and he actually shook hands with Wei Qian out of respect: "He Tingzhou."

He remained seated while speaking, a calmness that came from his superior status.

Shuang Xu was not happy that Wei Qian had taken the initiative to come and greet him, but since he was already in front of him, he could only bite the bullet and call out, "Brother Tingzhou."

"I always hear Shuang Xu mention you. I didn't expect that you would be having dinner here today. If I had known you were here, I should have gone over to say hello."

As Wei Qian spoke, he glanced at her, as if blaming her for not introducing him.

Shuang Xu pursed his lips.

She never said a word.

"Really?" He Tingzhou was quite interested. "What did she mention about me?"

Wei Qian was also a smart man. He said calmly, "She said you are Mr. Shen's friend and that she has a very good relationship with you."

He Tingzhou gave Shuang Xu a meaningful look and said, "It's good."

She only felt that the look was full of mockery, which made her face numb. Wei Qian was only trying to flatter her, but he didn't know that her relationship with He Tingzhou was not what he thought.

By saying this, she was completely different from a vain woman who used his name to brag behind his back.

"Boyfriend." He Tingzhou said in a casual tone.

"No." Shuang Xu was too embarrassed to open his teeth for some reason, and pinched his fingertips, "Blind date."

He then asked, "Are you in a hurry to find a boyfriend?"

Shuang Xu just felt that he had lost face extremely thoroughly and did not want to answer the mocking words.

"Brother Tingzhou, please go ahead and do your work. We won't disturb you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Wei Qian smiled at He Tingzhou and followed her.

After leaving the restaurant, Wei Qian took out two tickets and said, "There's a musical at the theater tonight. Let's go together..."

Shuang Xu refused before he could finish his words: "I'm sleepy. I'll go back first."

"It's not even nine o'clock yet. Why are you going to bed so early?"

"Is it not possible?"

Her attitude was obviously much colder than during the meal, so Wei Qian said hurriedly, "That's not what I meant. Then I'll take you home."

"No need." Shuang Xu walked towards the parking space, "I drove here by myself."

After getting in the car, she didn't start the car. She held the steering wheel in silence for a while, then leaned over and buried her face in her arms.

After a while, she stood up and took out her cell phone to send a WeChat message to Yue Zifeng.

[Brother Zifeng, can you drink with me?]
