"That's why I said that Madam can represent their family. Huixin, it won't be easy to find a partner with such qualities in the future."
"Mom, no matter how good the conditions are, I still have to like it, right?"
"Yes, it's because my daughter likes her." Although the couple were both smooth-talking people, they still cared a lot about their daughter.
As for Xu Xiaoou, she didn't go back to her second uncle's house at all; she just called her grandfather from a phone booth.
"Xiao Ou, you can decide for yourself. Grandpa is old and won't offer his opinion. But Grandpa has to tell you something: this opportunity doesn't come around all the time. If you don't seize it, it will be too late to regret it."
"Grandpa, I understand. It's getting late, you should rest. I'll call you again tomorrow."
"Okay, Grandpa understands. Take care of yourself."
The old man put down the phone, and his second son and his wife looked at him.
"You don't need to overthink it. From now on, you don't need to interfere in Xiao Ou's affairs."
"Dad, we just care."
The old man only glanced at his second son's wife. If it weren't for this woman, his eldest granddaughter wouldn't have left home. She's just a girl, and she'll get married sooner or later. What's there to be so bothered about? Now look what's happened, she's caught the eye of a wealthy person, and now you're in a hurry? Too late.
The next day was Sunday, and Zhiyuan accompanied Liu Maocai to the vegetable market to buy groceries in the morning.
"Grandpa, you really know how to buy groceries."
“I buy groceries every day, of course I have experience. Zhiyuan, you should settle down and start a family soon.”
Zhiyuan nodded. "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be good."
The father and son bought pork ribs, a whole chicken, and a large grass carp.
At 10 a.m., Er Ya told her son to leave.
"Mom, isn't this a bit too early?"
"It's getting late, and you still have forty minutes to get there. How can you make a girl wait for you? Where's your sense of shame?"
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll change my clothes and leave. I'll take a car."
Hu Peizhen sat beside her, watching and smiling. When she got married, she was a little skeptical of her mother-in-law's claim that she was treated like her own daughter. But after living together, she truly believed it.
Cheng Zhiyuan put on his coat and strolled to the station. He was still thinking to himself, "This place that's arranging blind dates is way too high-class!"
Zhang Weiyu found Liu Chongyu, who was still working. "Chongyu, you should go to the restaurant. This morning, Mom gave me some instructions. Don't let me get scolded."
"Third Brother, I'll drive. I'll be there in half an hour. I won't be late."
"That won't work either. You'd better leave now. If you're late, you'll be in for a beating."
"Alright, I'll leave now. Liu Qiang and Zhiyuan are also on blind dates today. They'll definitely be there early too. I'll go find them."
"Hmm, Liu Qiang should be here by now. He always listens to my mom the most."
"Hehe, who dares to disobey? Third Brother, I'm leaving."
When Liu Chongyu arrived at the hotel, he indeed saw Liu Qiang in the lobby. The silly boy was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.
Footsteps came from behind; it turned out that the waiter was leading a girl straight towards Liu Qiang.
Chongyu found a sofa to sit on and began to watch the scene unfold.
Then Liu Qiang stood up, extended his hand to shake hands with the girl, and the two left with the waiter.
Liu Qiang's girlfriend seems pretty good. She looks like a generous person.
"Brother Chongyu!"
"You're not late either. I offered to pick you up, but you didn't need to."
“It’s quite convenient to take a car,” Zhiyuan said, sitting down next to Liu Chongyu.
"Liu Qiang and the other one have already gone in. I just checked, and the girl seems alright."
The two were chatting and laughing quietly when the waiter led over a gentle and elegant young woman.
"Brother Chongyu, this is your girlfriend."
"You're the only one who knows."
This time, the manager came in person. "Young Master Liu, this young lady is looking for you."
Liu Chongyu also stood up and extended his hand. "Hello, I am Liu Chongyu. You must be Shen Nianci?"
Shen Nianci shook hands with him and said, "Hello, I am Shen Nianci."
The manager waited on the side, and after the two introduced themselves, he said, "Young Master Liu, the private room prepared for you is on the second floor. Shall I take you there?"
"Thank you for your help, Manager Zhong."
Liu Chongyu glanced at Zhiyuan, who smiled and watched them leave.
Now he was all alone in the lobby. He checked the time; it would be 10 o'clock in ten minutes. Was this girl going to stand him up?
Probably not. Mom said yesterday that the girl has to go to tutoring this morning. Let's wait patiently.
The waiter brought over a cup of hot water, and Zhiyuan picked up a newspaper and started reading the news.
Xu Xiaoou ran into the restaurant, stepped into the lobby, and glanced at the time to make sure she wasn't too late.
She also saw the people sitting in the hall, and immediately spotted Zhiyuan, thinking it must be him.
The manager came over; he had already remembered this girl from yesterday.
"I'll take you there."
"Thanks."
Zhiyuan heard footsteps, looked up, and saw the manager leading over a girl with a ponytail and a scarf.
"Young Master Cheng, this is Miss Xu." Zhiyuan stood up, smiled, and extended his hand. "Hello, I am Cheng Zhiyuan."
Xu Xiaoou also extended her hand, "Hello, I'm Xu Xiaoou. I'm sorry I'm late."
"No, you're not late." Zhiyuan felt a sense of goodwill towards the girl after hearing her words; she had a good personality.
"Young Master Cheng, I'll show you the way."
"Thank you for your trouble, Manager. Ms. Xu, let's go eat."
Xu Xiaoou nodded and followed behind them.
The dishes in Liu Qiang's private room had been served: three dishes and a soup, plus a glass of almond milk for each of them.
"Don't be shy, it's quite a coincidence that we met here today."
Liu Huixin nodded, "Yes." Looking at the tall man opposite her, she thought he was quite good-looking.
Liu Qiang was also attracted to Liu Huixin's appearance.
So the two of them talked more, mostly about their own situations, since it was a blind date and they needed to let each other know about their circumstances.
This is also the fastest way to build rapport.
The same goes for Liu Chongyu. Shen Nianci really liked Liu Chongyu's temperament. Although he had an ordinary appearance, he had a good temperament, just like his grandfather said.
Once the girl agreed, they had more to talk about. By the end of lunch, they had basically made up their minds.
Liu Chongyu was, after all, a boy, so it was better for him to say some things himself. "Nianci, I really like you. Can you give me a chance?"
Shen Nianci blushed, but did not avoid Liu Chongyu's gaze, and nodded, "Okay, I also have feelings for you."
"Okay, in that case, I'll take you home, and I'll pick you up after get off work so we can go see a movie."
"Okay, if you're in a hurry, I can go back by myself."
