Jiang Peihong arranged three blind dates for Jiang Rong this afternoon - yes, three. Jiang Peihong almost wanted to marry Jiang Rong off immediately. If he was not afraid that the schedule was too tight and the blind dates would run into each other, he would definitely arrange thirty-three.
The first blind date candidate was very punctual. He had already arrived, dressed in a suit and tie, looking very presentable. However, he was not very tall, probably only about 1.7 meters, and a little fat. He was a square figure, 1.7 meters tall and 1.7 meters heavy.
Jiang Rong was led to the table by the waiter. The coffee shop was decorated in a very stylish way. There was a vase of gorgeous roses on the white lace tablecloth. When blind date No. 1 saw Jiang Rong coming, his eyes widened.
When Number One first found out his family had arranged a blind date with the fake daughter the Jiang family had just adopted, he was filled with rage. The Jiang family clearly looked down on him, otherwise why would they let a fake daughter just to perfunctorily deal with him?!
Moreover, he had heard before that this woman who had usurped the throne was not even as good as a finger of the real daughter, and was extremely vicious and ungrateful. Now that she has been in the countryside for a few years, she has probably turned into a yellow-faced woman, which will only make people more disgusted.
But he couldn't resist his family's request, so Number One had no choice but to come here unwillingly, intending to give that ugly Jiang Rong a warning as soon as she showed up, and make her leave immediately, but unexpectedly...
Number One licked his lips nervously: "Hello, are you... Miss Jiang Rong?"
"Um, sorry, I seem to be late?" Jiang Rong pulled out a chair inside and sat down.
"Not too late, not too late! I'm early!" Number One said quickly. Facing such a beauty, his palms were sweating. "Ms. Jiang Rong, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a man with broad shoulders, long legs and sunglasses sitting down opposite him. The man had a cold demeanor and didn't say anything, but Number One felt a strong sense of oppression coming over him, making him feel a little breathless. He asked hesitantly, "Who is this?"
"Oh, him..." Jiang Rong thought for a moment, then reached out and patted Shang Shaoheng's arm, his expression deep: "He is my best male friend. He knew I was going on a blind date, so he came here specifically to help me screen it."
022: [?!]
Shang Shaoheng: “.”
Blind date number one: “!!”
He immediately expressed himself enthusiastically: "So that's how it is. Since you are Miss Jiang's best friend, from now on you are... my brother!"
He stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Shang Shaoheng's shoulder intimately, but his hand stopped in mid-air and he didn't dare to pat him no matter what. He could only adjust his cuffs awkwardly.
Shang Shaoheng sneered.
There are not many people who dare to call him their brother these days.
"I've heard of Miss Jiang's name a long time ago. Seeing her today, I can see she's truly worthy of her reputation." Number One stared at Jiang Rong, a look of greed clearly written on his face. "I like Miss Jiang very much. I wonder what Miss Jiang thinks of me? Don't worry, my parents are very open-minded. You won't be wronged if you marry into my family. I don't want a dowry from you, just give birth to a son for our family..."
Jiang Rong interrupted him: "Excuse me, I'm a little hungry. Can I order something to eat?"
"Yes, of course!" Number One said quickly, placing the menu in front of Jiang Rong generously. "Order whatever you want, I'll pay."
"You're so nice." Jiang Rong smiled sweetly, opened the menu and ordered a lot of things, then asked Shang Shaoheng next to her: "Bestie, what do you want to eat?"
Shang Shaoheng said coldly: "Barbecue."
"..." Jiang Rong closed the menu and said to Number One without changing his expression, "My bestie said he's not hungry yet."
Number One wiped the cold sweat from his forehead - why did he feel that the man in black really wanted to roast the minced ginger with cumin and chili pepper?
This coffee shop serves food very quickly. No. 1 was just about to carefully carve up the steak and place it in front of Jiang Rong to impress him, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Rong had already grabbed the steak from the plate, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and exclaimed, "It's delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious!"
“……?” Number One froze.
The waiter serving the dishes next to him also froze.
Jiang Rong took another bite of the steak in his hand, licked the oil on his fingers, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you eat it?"
Number One felt extremely embarrassed and quickly sent the waiter away, saying stiffly, "Why... don't you use a knife and fork?"
"Oh, I don't know how to use that thing." Jiang Rong waved his hand. "It's much more convenient to just grab it with your hands. Why don't you try it?"
"No, no." Number One said dully, "Well, try their bread, it's also..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Rong picked up two slices of crispy toasted bread and sandwiched the steak between them. He looked at him in amazement and said, "You've discovered a new way to eat it. That's amazing! Roujiamo!"
Number One: “…”
Feeling that everyone around him was looking at him in astonishment, Number One almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and run away, but considering Jiang Rong's beauty, he bit the bullet and endured it: "Miss Jiang, have you never eaten steak before?"
"I don't remember," Jiang Rong said. "There's no such good food in the countryside. We only have bran buns with pickles. When the harvest is good, we can eat some meat. Most of the time, we just boil a pot of sweet potatoes in water and eat them all day."
Number One was stunned: "Brach? Isn't that what pigs eat?!"
Jiang Rong: "If pigs can eat it, humans can eat it too."
Number One was speechless. Jiang Rong continued, "After we get married, can we pickle some sauerkraut? How about some bacon and sausage? Is your land big? If so, we can grow some sweet potatoes, corn, and peppers. Oh, and is your house close to a trash can? If so, I can pick up some bottles and cardboard to sell. Cardboard is expensive right now, one yuan per pound!"
She put down the roujiamo in her hand and wiped her greasy hands on her clothes. Seeing that Number One's eyes were fixed and he didn't speak for a long time, she reached out and pulled him: "What's wrong with you?"
Number One lowered his head and looked at the greasy fingerprints on the cuffs of his white shirt: "..."
If Jiang Rong had been a fairy from heaven in his eyes before, now she was just an ignorant shrew. When he thought about his garden being used to grow sweet potatoes, the balcony being used to dry pickled vegetables, and the living room being piled with empty bottles and waste cardboard, Number One felt a chill down his spine. He deeply realized that if he married Jiang Rong, his future would be dark.
Number One stood up tremblingly, forcing a smile uglier than crying: "Ms. Jiang, I don't think I'm worthy of you. You will definitely find someone better in the future. I wish you happiness!"
Then he ran away for his life.
Jiang Rong: “?”
"Hey!" She stood up and said angrily, "If you're not getting married, why don't you just settle the bill?!"
