Chapter 50 Blind Date
"Okay!" Chen Sisi nodded and said happily, "Since you don't like Zhong Nianyao so much, I won't say anything."
Hearing this, Li Jingming suddenly looked up and looked at his mother, the surprise in his eyes could not be hidden. This was obviously the answer he wanted to hear, but for some reason, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Chen Sisi’s next words almost made Li Jingming jump up.
"Since you don't like Zhong Nianyao, I'll arrange another blind date for you." Chen Sisi's slow voice continued, "I've already seen her. Li Man'er, the young lady from the Li family, is dignified and generous, and about your age. Let's find a time to meet her!"
"Mom!" Li Jingming felt unwell. He couldn't help but speak directly, "I'm still studying. Do I need to be so anxious? Also, I want to focus all my attention on studying and not think about relationships for the time being."
"I'm not asking you to get married right away. We just want to get to know each other." Chen Sisi looked at Li Jingming and said calmly, "Besides, look at your brother. He's a few months younger than you, and he's already engaged, isn't he? I'm not pushing you now. I just think you could make some more friends."
"I have my own plans for this matter." Li Jingming's attitude was also very firm. "Also, I don't need a blind date, so don't bother with that kind of thought in the future."
"Jingming, you are so resistant to the blind date I arranged. Is it because you have your own plans, or because you have someone you like in your heart?"
Chen Sisi looked at Li Jingming sharply, "For example, your classmate Shen Yixue. She is really a pitiful girl!"
"You investigated me!" Li Jingming said angrily, "Mom, you can't do this. I'm grown up now, and I have my own privacy."
He had never thought that his mother would do such a thing. Yes, he did like Shen Yixue. But all along, he didn't dare to say it clearly because he knew that his mother would never agree.
He had originally planned to wait until Shen Yixue won first place in the National Calligraphy and Painting Competition and joined the Calligraphy and Painting Association before formally introducing Yixue to his mother. Unexpectedly, his mother actually sent someone to investigate him and also learned about Shen Yixue's existence.
"I have no intention of interfering with your plans,"
Compared to Li Jingming's irritability, Chen Sisi seemed much calmer. "I just want to know who those people around you are. Jingming, that Shen Yixue is not suitable for you, and there is no way she can enter the Li family's door."
"Why?" Li Jingming was very unconvinced. "Yi Xue just came from a poor family. She is already very outstanding. Why can't I like such an outstanding girl?"
"Jingming, don't you know where your father, his wife, and your brother went today?" Chen Sisi said bluntly, "Today is the birthday party for the old lady of the Lu family. The whole family, even the people from the second branch, went, but you were the only one who didn't go. Isn't this enough for you to face reality?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jingming's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, as if he was enduring something.
That's right, everyone in the Li family went to the Lu family today, except him. He also knew that all this was because of his father's wife's obstruction. However, his father didn't object either.
Although he had entered the Li family, he was very clear that he was different from his nominal brother, Li Jingshe. Just like today, as long as his father's wife did not agree, he still could not go with them.
"Jingming, you have to know that everything I do now is for your own good." Chen Sisi's attitude softened, and her tone became much softer. "Think about it, if you already have a fiancée from a wealthy family, then even for the sake of your future in-laws, you would definitely be able to attend."
"Jingming, you are no longer a child. You should know the importance of this matter. If you want to have a status in the Li family, then your future wife must not be an ordinary girl."
"But Yi Xue is not an ordinary girl. She is really outstanding." Li Jingming was still unwilling to give up. "Besides, she is very capable. Her future achievements will definitely not be too bad."
"I don't deny her excellence, nor do I underestimate her future ambitions." Chen Sisi shook her head and said realistically, "But she's definitely not right for you right now. Do you want things like today to keep happening over and over again?"
Li Jingming lowered his head and gritted his teeth. The unwillingness and resentment in his heart were clamoring, as if they were about to break out from the depths of his heart at any time.
"Jingming, I'm your biological mother. I won't harm you." Chen Sisi said earnestly, "You should know that everything I do is for your own good. I'm not forcing you to do anything with Li Man'er. I just want you to go meet her."
"Li Man'er is gentle and charming, dignified and generous. Although she is not an only child, she is the daughter of the Li family who comes of age, and is very much loved by the head of the Li family. Her older brothers also hold her in high esteem. For you, being on good terms with her will only benefit you, not harm you."
Li Jingming lowered his head and remained silent, but his aura seemed to have calmed down considerably. It was obvious that he had listened to what Chen Sisi had just said.
However, when he thought of the white moonlight in his heart, he still couldn't make up his mind.
"Jingming, as long as you go to see Li Maner." Chen Sisi raised her head, looked at Li Jingming, and continued, "No matter whether you succeed in the end or not. I can promise you to give that Shen Yixue a chance."
"Really?" Li Jingming looked up suddenly, the surprise on his face obvious, "You're not trying to trick me into going on a blind date first, are you?"
"I just said to give her a chance." Chen Sisi continued slowly, "Didn't you just say that she is very outstanding and will soon participate in the national calligraphy and painting competition?"
"As long as she can win first place in this competition, I'll promise you that I can go meet her even if it's difficult for her. Of course, if she's good enough to stand by your side in the future, I won't break you up. After all, you're my own son, and I want you to live a good life."
