After all, she had been studying in the United States since she was sixteen, for four or five years now.
After getting to know her, Lu Zhuoxuan also learned that Liu Nian had a broad understanding of traditional Chinese culture, which was probably instilled in her by her parents and family when she was young.
She wasn't actually the kind of girl who, on the surface, was influenced by American culture and became unruly and rebellious.
Lu Zhuoxuan gradually changed his opinion of her, developing some goodwill and interest.
But Lu Zhuoxuan felt that this was just goodwill and appreciation, not love or affection.
If he chooses to be with Liu Nian simply to forget Ji Wanmei and enjoy the brief relaxation she brings him, it would be irresponsible and unfair to her.
Moreover, he will soon return to China after completing his master's degree to continue developing his IT company.
Liu Nian had previously revealed that she plans to stay in the United States to develop her career, as she likes life there and dislikes the oppressive environment in China.
All of this made Lu Zhuoxuan realize that he could neither have any future with Liu Nian, nor could he truly fall in love with her in just three months.
And someone like her, who soars like a free bird, would never return to China for her own sake.
Therefore, as soon as the three-month trial period for the couple ended, Lu Zhuoxuan told Liu Nian that it was over.
Liu Nian was very angry, really angry.
She slapped Lu Zhuoxuan hard across the face and then left.
She never spoke to him again.
Liu Nian had never suffered such humiliation. She had taken such initiative to propose to a boy and spent three months with him sincerely, only to be told by him that it was time to end things here.
Lu Zhuoxuan knew that Liu Nian hated him, but he didn't go to see her again.
Since his two-year postgraduate studies were over, it was time for him to return to China.
Lu Zhuoxuan quietly packed up and returned to China.
At this time, Lu Zhuoxuan was already twenty-six years old.
After returning to China, he devoted himself entirely to the company's business.
His Zhuoxuan IT company, founded by his personally led team, quickly gained momentum and established a foothold in the domestic market.
Because of family connections and channels, Zhuoxuan Company established its headquarters in Beijing.
Lu Zhuoxuan has become a rising star in Beijing's business community.
At his age, his parents and grandmother will start to worry about his marriage.
After all these years, apart from Ji Wanmei, Grandma Song had never heard of her grandson having any relationship with any other girl.
Grandma Song loved her grandson dearly and was afraid that he hadn't forgotten Ji Wanmei after all these years, and that after being heartbroken, he wouldn't want to look for someone else.
However, he could delay it, but the old man's health couldn't.
Grandma Song has no other wishes now, except that before she passes away, she wants to see her grandson, whom she raised, get married, start a family, and have a great-grandson.
She felt she had no other desires.
Lu Zhuoxuan knew about Grandma Song's wish, but he really didn't want to think about these things right now.
Grandma Song then called Lu Zhuoxuan's parents in Beijing, asking them to persuade their grandson to go on blind dates and find a girlfriend, no matter what.
As soon as the old lady gave the order, Lu Zhuoxuan's mother began searching everywhere for suitable girls of marriageable age and arranged for them to be introduced to her son for blind dates.
Originally, Lu Zhuoxuan was most resistant to blind dates, but he couldn't withstand the constant bombardment from his father, mother, and grandmother. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to a blind date.
To appease the elders in my family.
The blind date was held at a hotel in Beijing.
The agreed meeting time is 6:30 pm.
Because Lu Zhuoxuan was simply too busy, he couldn't spare any time during the day.
After finishing work in the evening, Lu Zhuoxuan had his driver take him to the restaurant.
As Lu Zhuoxuan approached the restaurant, he thought to himself, "When I get there, I'll just sit for fifteen minutes, have a polite and courteous meal, and not hurt the feelings between the two families. Then I'll come back and tell my parents and grandmother that I think the two of us are not suitable. That should be enough to get through this."
When he followed the waiter into the private room and saw his blind date, dressed elegantly and gently, sitting directly opposite him at the round table, he was suddenly stunned.
The girl smiled and looked up at him, nodding slightly. Her manners were exemplary, befitting a lady from a respectable family, without a single flaw.
Beside him, Lu Zhuoxuan's mother smiled and introduced, "Zhuoxuan, you've finally arrived! We've all been waiting for you for quite a while."
"Let me introduce you. This young lady is the daughter of your Uncle Liu from the Ministry of Water Resources. She just returned from studying abroad, and her experience is quite similar to yours. You two should get along very well."
Liu Nian stood up, extended her hand, stared at Lu Zhuoxuan with a half-smile, and raised her lips: "Hello, you must be Lu Zhuoxuan, right? I'm your blind date today, my name is Liu Nian."
She grasped Lu Zhuoxuan's hand, her eyes filled with a meaningful provocation: "Aunt Liu is right, we'll definitely have a lot in common."
Lu Zhuoxuan looked at her and suddenly laughed.
