Chapter 7 Why does it seem like no one is better than her?
"grandmother……"
Xiaobao scratched his fingers and asked, "Why does uncle have to go on a blind date?"
Pu Ma rolled her eyes at her son and sneered, "If he relies on himself to find a wife, he'll probably have to wait until your son is born."
Xiaobao: "My son?"
Puye: "..."
Pu's father saw the situation was awkward for a moment, so he smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Xiaobao, which one of us will you follow today? Just have a good sleep and don't go on a blind date with dark circles under your eyes."
As he spoke, he secretly patted his son's shoulder and whispered to him, "Listen to your mother and go meet her. Just treat it as a formality. Otherwise, if your mother gets angry, it will make it difficult for me too..."
Pu Ye raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at her with disdain, "Why don't you just say frankly that you are a henpecked husband?"
Before Pu's father could find an excuse to cover up, his wife interrupted and said earnestly, "Son, Mom's requirements are not high. Just a person will do, as long as you can bring him home."
Pu Ye scoffed, "Isn't that too much to ask?"
Pu Ma was so angry that she covered her chest and raised her hand as if to hit him, "! You TM..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Go easy on me, my wife!"
Pu's father acted as a protective shield, "My son is just joking, I won't argue with him."
Pu Ye sat on the sofa as if it had nothing to do with him, and crossed his legs lazily. "Okay, I'll go. Just give me some peace and quiet."
"Are you really going? You're not lying to me?"
"I won't lie to you"
Pu Ma tried hard to hide her happiness, "How about meeting all three of them tomorrow?"
“…”
"Whatever you want"
"Hahahahahaha, that's right!"
Pu Ma achieved her goal and she couldn't stop smiling while holding Xiaobao.
"We won't disturb you anymore, go to bed early."
While resting in the room, Xiaobao lay on his grandmother's shoulder, waved to his uncle, and pretended to pout to express his sympathy for him.
…………
When it was time to go to bed, Xiaobao was not there, and Pu Ye was lying alone on the bed, with his head resting on his arms, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
I was bored and looking through my phone, and remembered that the woman had deleted me from WeChat.
"Tsk," Pu Ye let go of his phone and slammed it on the bed, complaining unhappily, "This is the first time someone deleted me..."
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. The man pulled the quilt over his head with both hands, sulking for a while before falling asleep.
The culprit, Su Yunci, was playing the piano at home. There was a small yellow light on the piano stand, and when he looked up, he could see an old movie that he had watched countless times projected on the projector.
The song she played was one she heard in a coffee shop today. She was able to play it completely after listening to it only once. She was also grateful to the blind date for providing boring topics, which gave her the opportunity to concentrate on listening to the song.
This absolute pitch was discovered by Su Yunci when she was very young. Even her teacher at that time was amazed and told her mother that she must train her well and that she would definitely become a world-famous pianist when she grew up.
The mother wanted her daughter to become a successful person. After receiving the teacher's affirmation, she became more and more uncontrollable and oppressed little Yunci so much that she couldn't breathe.
No one asked her whether she liked it or not. Even her father, who always doted on her, told her that she had talent in this area and should not waste it easily.
According to her parents' plan, Su Yunci's next step was probably to continue studying abroad, but unfortunately she got there first and returned home after graduating without informing them.
Thinking of this, Su Yunci couldn't help but chuckle. She imagined her mother's expression when she found out. It must be disbelief, because how could her always obedient daughter have the courage to plan such a big thing?
Su Yunci hid a faint smile, and her dimples looked particularly charming under the light.
She found that since she came to the art institution and spent a long time with children, the innocence and childishness that she had suppressed for many years seemed to have become more childish.
My worries lingered along with the music. When the song ended and my mind returned to normal, I looked up and saw that my worries had come back again...
Su Yunci looked at his father's incoming call, tapping the screen with his fingers, and only picked up the phone when it was about to hang up automatically.
She could guess the purpose of the call, which was nothing more than a blind date.
"Hey, Dad..."
…………
——The next morning
Following his mother's "suggestion", Pu Ye put on a black suit and drove a black SUV to the first blind date location.
It was boring waiting for the red light, and the tie was tightening on him. Pu Ye pulled it, and the tie hung loosely. His jacket was also open, revealing the white shirt underneath.
This made the solemn attire look arrogant, and the aura of arrogance and unruliness became even stronger.
After passing several intersections, the car stopped at the destination.
Pu Ye took off his sunglasses and glanced at the western restaurant in front of him.
How to put it, compared to this kind of high-end Western restaurant, he prefers to eat barbecue at roadside stalls.
Just respect the woman's opinion and come if you want. Treat it as an occasional new experience.
As soon as Pu Ye entered, he found a seat. The girl was already sitting there waiting, with her back facing him, and he didn't know what she looked like.
He looked at his watch. He was not late, so he walked over slowly. His clear steps revealed a sense of leisure and ease.
The girl heard a noise behind her and turned to see the person approaching. She quickly glanced at him and quickly and naturally put on a proper smile. "Hello, I'm Xu Ling. Is this Mr. Pu?"
"It's me"
Pu Ye waved his hands uncomfortably, trying to smile but failing, so he just sat there coolly, his expressionless face more in line with his personality.
Xu Ling started the conversation, "Aunt Pu said you were rather aloof, and it seems she was right."
"Um,"
The word "hmm" was stuck in Pu Ye's throat and he couldn't say anything else.
"Are you twenty-seven? I'm one year younger than you."
"profound……"
Pu Ye's answer is still concise and to the point
Xu Ling maintained a smile, "You own a bar? That's amazing, being your own boss at such a young age."
"It's okay, but I can't make much money."
"You're being modest, right? A big boss shouldn't have luxury cars and mansions, right?"
Xu Ling smiled and joked, but the shrewdness and calculation that flashed across his eyes were caught by Pu Ye.
"To be honest, I rent my house and I'm still paying off my car loan."
"Uh," Xu Ling's smile froze briefly as she flipped through the menu. "I heard you have a sister who's a fashion designer and married a wealthy man. Don't they help you out?"
Pu Ye leaned back in his chair with his chin shaking, his arrogance difficult to conceal mixed with sarcasm and disdain.
"They are theirs, what does it have to do with me?"
"Of course it does, you are a family!"
Xu Ling wanted to lean forward to persuade him, his eyes rolling around and his thoughts were clearly written on his face.
When my family told me that the man ran a bar, I scoffed at it and looked down on him. I thought he was just not doing his job properly and was no different from the idlers on the street.
But he said that his sister and brother-in-law were both capable people, so he came to meet them.
If she seems decent looking, and is willing to help introduce her to her sister and brother-in-law, she would be willing to marry him.
Xu Ling touched her hair, revealing her exaggerated earrings. "I'm studying fine arts, which has something in common with your sister's profession. Maybe..."
"Ms. Xu, are you here for a blind date or looking for a job?"
Pu Ye brushed the nonexistent dust off his sleeves. "If you're here for a job, you can just go and submit your resume to my sister. You don't have to tell me first. If you have the skills, you'll naturally be hired."
The woman's face turned pale and red, and she stammered, "I..."
"I have something else to do. If Miss Xu wants to dine here, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Pu Ye smiled, the corner of his mouth curved in contempt, "I hope Miss Xu can find a good man soon."
After saying that, Zhang Yang left without even wanting to maintain the most basic etiquette, thinking about rushing to finish the remaining two dates so as not to worry him...
Regarding this one, Pu Ye could only say that it was not as fun as Teacher Xiao Su.
With this standard in mind, he went to the next appointment.
But when he was busy in the evening and the three blind dates of the day were over, Pu Ye found that no one was as good as Teacher Su?
The first one was too smart, and the second one was too rigid. He started to lecture him about his clothes and occupation like a principal.
The third one was the lively and cheerful type, but she became infatuated with him as soon as they met, and tried to touch her all over. Fortunately, he protected her well and ran away quickly, otherwise her chastity would be in jeopardy.
Pu Ye drove around the street, unable to hide his fatigue, thinking about how to explain to his mother when he got home.
After a busy day, I might as well work as a bartender in a bar.
The car turned a corner and arrived at the bustling snack street, where there was a barbecue stall he often visited. He wanted to buy some to comfort his mother, but he never expected to see a familiar figure...
