Chapter 24 Blind Date
Come to Hesheng Restaurant today and have dinner with me. No matter what you have to do, please turn it down.
That day, Zhu Wendong received this message in the afternoon. She clenched her phone tightly, and the suffocating feeling of being controlled came back.
She took a deep breath.
Finally, I compromised, changed my clothes, and rushed to Hesheng Hotel.
Walk to the corresponding private room and open the door.
There was not only Wen Lu, but also a man and a woman sitting across from the round table.
"Oh, this is Wen Dong, come in and sit down." The woman in cheongsam waved at her enthusiastically. She was well maintained and it was hard to tell that she was in her forties.
The man sitting on her right looked similar to her, both giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze and as gentle as jade at first glance.
They are two unfamiliar faces.
Zhu Wendong glanced around the private room. If he still couldn't understand the situation, he would be a fool.
For a moment, she stood at the door, neither retreating nor advancing.
Wen Lu walked over personally upon seeing this and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it later if you have anything to say."
Then, without waiting for her to answer, he pulled her over and sat her down, smiling and smoothing things over: "She's just a little shy, don't be offended."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhu Wendong with a smile, her eyes almost overflowing with satisfaction: "Wendong is very beautiful and well-behaved. I like her very much."
Wen Lu arranged Zhu Wendong to sit on her left.
"I like your S'an too, but what's important is not that I like her, but that they like her."
Mrs. Zhou suddenly hit her head and said, "Look at my brain. I haven't introduced you to each other yet."
She pointed to the person next to her: "This is my eldest son, Zhou Sian."
Pointing to the person opposite, he said, "That's the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Wendong."
Zhu Wendong looked at the handsome man opposite him, gave him a respectful smile, and nodded in greeting.
The eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Sian.
It seems that Zhu Shouwen still hasn't let go of this idea, and even uses Wen Lu's help, making sure that she will not refuse.
The moment Zhou Si'an looked into her eyes, his heart began to beat uncontrollably. He remained calm on the surface and nodded slightly at her.
Zhu Wendong immediately looked away and drank the cup of hot milk that Wen Lu poured for him.
Zhou Si'an's gaze was still on her face. He tightened his hands under the table, and a hint of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes.
What to do, she didn't seem to recognize me.
Mrs. Zhou smiled broadly. "Jiangbei is not that big. Wen Dong, you just returned home. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask our Si'an. He just came back from a business trip some time ago and has been very free recently."
Zhu Wendong smiled slightly and nodded again.
Zhou Si'an suddenly stood up and said, "This is the gift I prepared for you. It's our first meeting, and I'm very happy to meet you."
Afraid that she would not accept it, he said at the end, "I have already given Aunt Wen's share, so yours cannot be less."
A gift box wrapped in exquisite velvet satin was placed on the round plate and turned to the opposite side.
Having said that, Zhu Wendong had no choice but to accept it. She took it, thanked him, and said softly, "I'll make up for your gift next time."
Zhou Si'an smiled and said, "It's just a greeting gift, no need to be so polite."
The two of them interacted with each other and seemed to get along very well on their first meeting.
Wen Lu greeted with satisfaction: "Now that everyone is here, let's start eating."
At the dinner table, Zhou Si'an was the quiet one, and Zhu Wendong had nothing to say about the situation. Only Wen Lu and Mrs. Zhou were talking back and forth, as if they regretted not meeting each other earlier.
On the way, Mrs. Zhou said that something was left in the car and asked Wen Lu to go with her to get it.
For a moment, Zhu Wendong and Zhou Sian were the only ones left in the box.
The claim that he was going to get something was probably a lie, but the real reason was that he was intentionally creating space for them to get along.
Zhu Wendong was not familiar with Zhou Si'an and was not interested in this blind date party, but the food in this restaurant was quite good.
She was eating attentively. One dish tasted good, so she took a few more bites and tried to push the turntable to get more food, but it suddenly got stuck.
Zhu Wendong tried turning it a few more times, but to no avail.
Zhou Si'an on the opposite side also noticed it, stood up and offered his hand to help push it, "Which one do you want to eat?"
Zhu Wendong was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the most exquisitely presented dish, "That one."
Zhou Sian turned around twice and pushed the dish in front of her.
Zhu Wendong whispered a thank you, then picked up the dish and continued eating quietly.
Zhou Si'an sat down and saw that she was eating seriously, so he knew the situation and didn't disturb her.
She seemed to really be here to eat.
It was not until the meal was almost over that Wen Lu and Mrs. Zhou returned to the private room.
As soon as they came back, the originally quiet dining table became lively again.
Zhu Wendong almost felt that it was the two of them who were on a blind date.
After the meal, Mrs. Zhou originally wanted Zhou Si'an to take Zhu Wendong home, but she didn't expect Zhu Wendong to drive himself, so she gave up.
After Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Si'an left in the car, Wen Lu sat in the passenger seat of Zhu Wendong's Cullinan.
"Sian is a good kid this week. You should get to know him well."
Zhu Wendong stepped on the accelerator and murmured, "Are you so anxious to marry me off?"
"You're 25 already, not young anymore, it's time to get married." Wen Lu said as she pressed the window button, "You don't have a proper job right now. If your last name wasn't Zhu, how would you have had the chance to meet the Zhou family kid?"
Zhu Wendong replied casually, "I'm busy lately and don't want to get married for the time being."
"I want you to get to know each other, but I don't want you to get married right away." Wen Lu retorted.
Zhu Wendong was too lazy to argue with her anymore, and they drove quietly all the way to Tingguo.
Wen Lu opened the car door and got out, then asked her, "Are you going to have dinner at home today?"
"I just finished eating. I'm not hungry."
Just as Zhu Wendong finished speaking, a Bentley stopped in front and a man got out of the back seat.
"Wen Dong, you're back today." Zhu Shouwen walked over with a smile, took Wen Lu's arm, and asked softly, "Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out for dinner today?"
"It's not cold in Jiangbei today, but I still feel hot wearing two pieces of clothing." Wen Lu nudged him with her elbow, like she was acting coquettishly.
Zhu Shouwen rubbed his stomach as if in pain, then asked Zhu Wendong with concern, "How was your meal with the Zhou family today?"
Zhu Wendong said meticulously: "Thank you Uncle Zhu for your concern. The food at Hesheng Restaurant is pretty good. Uncle Zhu, please go and try it when you have the chance."
"She's not happy with the blind date we arranged for her." Wen Lu scolded her, "How could the Zhou family, which your uncle Zhu values, be wrong?"
Zhu Wendong said no more and glanced at the time. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You guys should get some rest early."
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and left with only a trail of car exhaust.
When we arrived at Biesong, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Zhu Wendong went home to put his bag down before walking to Qi Yanxue's door.
Not knowing whether Qi Yanxue was at home at this time, she followed the same method as last night, stood by the door and gently called out "Donggua".
For a long while, the door didn't move.
It was so quiet that not even a dog could bark.
Zhu Wendong bent down again, got closer, and called out again: "Winter Melon."
With a creak, the door opened.
Zhu Wendong lowered his head according to the dog's height, and what caught his eye was not the big white dog.
Instead, it was a pair of men's cotton shoes, and above that was a black home suit. Half of the ankle with beautiful lines connected the foot and leg. The skin was cold and white, and the blood vessels were clearly visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, a man's deep voice sounded above my head.
"Where's the soul calling?"
