It's called a private room, but it's actually just a semi-open seating area.
Hello, Gao Ang.
The woman in the private room was still a little stunned by his directness and straightforwardness.
"Hello, you're the one Aunt Ping introduced?"
The sound is quite pleasant, but Gao Feng just doesn't quite feel right.
I've already introduced myself, and you haven't even given your name?
"Yeah, there's a bit of traffic on the way."
After saying that, Gao Ang handed over a napkin, "Wipe it off."
"Um?"
The woman on the other end of the line was taken aback. She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and immediately blushed deeply. "I'm so sorry, um..."
"It's okay, your family forced you to come, right?"
The girl who was applying lipstick paused in surprise upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected the other person to be so direct; if she hadn't found them agreeable, she would have turned around and left.
But after thinking about it carefully, I realized I couldn't be the bad guy myself. I wondered if I could get the other person to take the blame.
"More or less, my family is pressuring me to get back to work."
After applying her lipstick, the girl didn't touch up her makeup. She took a few sips of coffee, considered her words carefully, and then spoke again:
"So, you work in Shanghai, right?"
"Not working, unemployed."
The girl was secretly delighted. Perfect, now she finally had a reason to refuse an unemployed man.
"Hehe, I work at a bank."
"That's great. The job isn't tiring, and the pay is high. You must have a whole line of suitors, right?"
Having decided to kill time, Gao Feng began to cooperate with the girl in acting.
Both of them relaxed and started chatting and laughing, which was much better than the awkward atmosphere at the beginning.
About ten minutes later, Gao Ang checked his phone, looked up and said, "How about this, we all go home and find our own mothers?"
The girl was taken aback again. Was it really that direct? Was I not pretty?
In her memory, every boy who ate with her stared at her.
Not only does she have a good job, but her personal qualifications are also quite good.
Although she didn't intend to do anything with this blind date, she still felt a little frustrated to be ignored like this.
"Um, okay, but what are you going to say when you get back?"
"What can you say? We just don't click. Blind dates are all about finding the right match. If you can't even see eye to eye, it's pointless, right?"
After putting away his phone and paying the bill, Gao Feng prepared to get up and leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry," the girl called out to him, "Could you tell Aunt Ping that it's you who doesn't like me?"
That's obvious, of course I wouldn't be interested.
These are Gao Long's innermost thoughts, but he cannot say them out loud.
Girls are bound to have strong self-esteem, and if they get angry and make a scene, it would be incredibly embarrassing in front of everyone.
"You're great. Maybe we're just not a good match. As for not liking each other, there's no need to say that."
"Hey, can you help me out?"
The girl started to act coquettishly, using a tactic that is very effective on men.
Unfortunately, this tactic was completely ineffective against Gao Feng, who saw through her true colors.
"No, if you have any difficulties, tell your family. It's not right for me, an outsider, to take the blame."
Since the girl started acting like a scoundrel, Gao Ang decided not to tolerate her temper and planned to expose her tricks.
"What scapegoat?"
The girl started to panic, her voice became weak, and she even unconsciously began to look behind Gao Feng.
"You just want Aunt Ping to tell your parents that I have too high standards and look down on you, right?"
But is that true? The truth is, you never intended to go on a blind date at all.
"You're fooling Aunt Ping and your parents. You're wasting everyone's time. Am I right?"
He spread his hands and began to argue with this self-righteous girl.
The girl didn't say anything, thought for a while, and then said, "It's not that I'm just trying to fool you, we all have our difficulties."
"What difficulties can't you talk about? Even if you really have a boyfriend, can your parents separate you two?"
Hearing this, the girl really panicked. "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
"Alright, I'm too lazy to get involved in your family's affairs, and I won't take the blame for this."
Gao Ang stood up abruptly, as if leaving this place of trouble.
What kind of mess is this? I was hoping to have a romantic encounter or something, but instead I ran into this disgusting thing.
"Stop right there! How dare you talk like that?"
Ang Gao didn't turn around, and replied directly, "It doesn't matter what I say, if you're a real man, hurry up and go to their house to propose marriage. You're such a coward, you're a disgrace to men!"
"Do you know who I am, kid? How dare you talk to me like that? You country bumpkin, do you even know what a man's dignity is?"
Immediately afterwards, a large hand pressed down on his proud shoulder, as if trying to pull him back.
The man who had grabbed Gao Li was a little surprised; despite his great strength, the boy didn't budge an inch.
"Take your dirty hands off me. This is the last time I'm warning you."
This remark made the man behind him laugh in anger. "What, you want to hit someone? Go ahead and try."
“There’s no need to hit someone,” Gao slapped the man’s dirty hand away with his left hand.
Turning around, Gao Ang stared at the seemingly charming but actually disgusting middle-aged man in front of him, then glanced at the girl:
"Didn't you know he was married?"
"Huh?" The girl looked completely bewildered.
"He is not only married, but also has an eight-year-old son. The reason you don't know is because he sent his wife and child abroad."
A casual, high-pitched question made the girl's face turn ashen: "You're married?"
This was said to that man.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's just being unreasonable." The middle-aged man got anxious and quickly tried to appease the girl, while glaring fiercely at Gao Ang. "Kid, you've gotten yourself into trouble!"
Ang Gao sighed, "Don't you know who got into trouble?"
Gao slapped their hands away, pushed the middle-aged man aside, and turned to the girl, saying, "I originally thought it was your family who objected, but it seems you know you've chosen the wrong person. Let me tell you this: abort the child, find someone who treats you well, and marry him. This kind of scum will be punished by God sooner or later."
"You're talking nonsense! You're the scumbag! No, kid, what kid?"
The man who had been pushed five meters away by Gao Feng got up from the ground. His right hand, which was originally raised, was frightened by Gao Feng's words.
"You're pregnant?"
"Mmm." The girl held back her tears, her face filled with despair.
"Didn't I tell you to take your medicine?"
"I'm asking you, are you really married?"
"That's not important. No, don't listen to his nonsense. Just get rid of the child right now, and we can talk about the rest, okay?"
The two were tugging at each other when Gao Ang walked to the side, inwardly cursing, "What kind of mess is this? It's like a melodramatic soap opera!"
A married, successful man, lusting after a beautiful woman, and a virgin, vain and ambitious, find themselves perfectly compatible.
However, this successful man is a bit older, and his eldest daughter knows that her family won't agree, so she wants to delay things and hopefully make it a fait accompli.
Unexpectedly, she hadn't taken birth control pills behind the man's back. When the married man learned the truth, he was furious.
Gao Yang is now in a dilemma; leaving is not an option.
According to the plot of the TV series, the two will most likely end up fighting, resulting in the girl miscarrying and the death of both mother and child...
The two grew increasingly angry, their tempers starting to resemble those in a TV drama.
After thinking it over, Gao Ang decided to add fuel to the fire:
"Stop arguing, girl. Take my advice. Get an abortion and live a good life. This man is hopeless. He'll be investigated after National Day."
"Bullshit, you're the one who..."
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Gao Ang slapped him to the ground.
"You think you're so great? Don't you have any idea whether you'll be investigated by the Party's disciplinary body? Why did your wife and kids go abroad? Did they get the money to buy villas and luxury cars from Haidilao? Do you really think nobody knows about the dirty things you've done? Do I need to read you two examples?"
Qian Sui had already thoroughly investigated the man's background. Gao Ang casually said a few words, which frightened the angry middle-aged man so much that his face turned pale.
"You...you're talking nonsense."
Looking at his raised right hand, the middle-aged man quickly changed his words.
"Get lost. Go back and turn yourself in now, and you might get a two-year reduction in your sentence."
The middle-aged man, who had been so full of vigor, didn't even glance at the girl. Like a stray dog, he hurriedly scurried out.
The girl lay there crying, sobbing uncontrollably, looking utterly miserable.
Ah, if only I had known then what I know now.
Shaking his head, Gao Ang sent a message to Aunt Ping, saying nothing else but that the girl was feeling a little unwell and that her family should come and pick her up.
Feeling rather awkward standing there, Gao Ang grabbed two tissues, placed them on the table, and carefully went downstairs.
He didn't go far, staying in the car and keeping an eye on the situation upstairs, lest the girl do something rash.
He waited for her family to arrive and take the girl away before driving home.
It wasn't that he was interested in the girl, but he was afraid she might do something rash, and that would be such a mess.
When I got home, there was no rice in the pot; it had been washed clean long ago.
In the living room on the first floor, Gao's father and mother sat watching TV, seemingly unaware of Gao's blind date.
That's true. They're probably still busy figuring out how to comfort the girl over there, so they don't have time to inform them.
"You're back! How was it? Wasn't that girl pretty? And so tall..." When Gao's mother saw her son return, she happily ran over and started nagging him.
"She's not short, and she's not bad looking, but she has a boyfriend, and he's married."
At home, there aren't so many concerns.
"Huh? You have a boyfriend? Then why did your Aunt Ping introduce you to someone? Isn't that just setting you up for trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Gao's mother put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows, saying, "This third son of the Liu family is too unreliable. I have to go and say a few words to her."
The woman Gao was referring to was Aunt Ping. Her father's surname was Liu, and he was the third son in his family, commonly known as the third son of the Liu family.
Gao's mother took out her phone, ready to start a group chat, but Gao's father stopped her, saying, "What does this have to do with her? The girl probably kept it a secret. But how do you know she has a boyfriend, and a married one at that?"
Mr. Gao pulled Mrs. Gao back and turned to ask Gao Gao a question.
“You might not believe it,” Gao Ang said, picking up an apple, taking a bite, and then continued, “When I went in, the girl’s lipstick was all smudged. I could tell at a glance that she had just kissed someone else.”
Mr. and Mrs. Gao both gasped in shock. Good heavens, he dared to bring his fiancé to a blind date?
"As for that guy, he finally jumped out and tried to beat me up," Gao Ang swallowed the apple in his mouth, turned the TV volume down a bit, and continued, "I grabbed his hand and took a look. Oh my, there was a ring mark on his ring finger. It's for clearing heat and detoxifying, right? The ring finger means you're married."
He quickly finished the apple in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and sat down between his parents with great pride. "Mom and Dad, you see, even if it's an introduction from an acquaintance, you can still get scammed. So, you don't need to worry about this anymore. I know what I'm doing."
"Whose child is this? They're so unreliable and don't take care of themselves at all."
Mrs. Gao held the phone, unsure whether to call or not.
Call them. What do you mean? If this gets out, will that girl even survive?
This news will probably spread throughout the entire township, both inside and outside the village.
If I don't fight, it's really hard to swallow this anger.
"Forget it, I won't believe a single word Aunt Ping says anymore."
Gao's mother eventually put down her phone; after all, people are inherently good.
"Mom, does that mean you won't arrange any more blind dates for me from now on?"
Gao Yang was overjoyed and began to massage his mother's legs and back, being extremely attentive.
"Hmph, dream on. Next time I'll personally oversee the process, unless..." Gao's mother glanced at her son.
"Unless what?"
"Unless you can bring her back a daughter-in-law, you'd better go on blind dates instead."
Mr. Gao got up, rubbed his lower back; as he got older, backaches and pains were common.
Looking at the increasing amount of gray hair on his father's head, Gao Ang suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
He understood his family's thoughts, of course. They simply hoped he would settle down and start a family as soon as possible, so that while they were still healthy, they could help him take care of his children.
In the past, he would have obediently accepted the arrangement or taken the initiative to find a partner.
But that won't work now, it's not suitable!
"Alright, I'll sort things out in Shanghai and try to bring one back for you guys to see by the end of the year."
Gao Ang can now easily concoct deceptive lies, well-intentioned lies, just to appease the elderly couple.
Now that we're home, we should at least go out and visit some relatives.
In one day, Gao Ang visited all the relatives and elders he needed to see, and after lunch on the 8th, he returned to Shanghai.
When Gao Ang passed by the supermarket at the Changming Island intersection, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The three men who were ordered to monitor him were still there, but they didn't care about his return at all. Even when he got out of the car to buy something, none of them showed any emotion or heartbeat.
"Your Majesty, have they been in contact with the mastermind recently?"
"I didn't notice. Ever since their failed kidnapping attempt on Xia Weiwei and Lillian, these people have been behaving themselves, staying right at home."
The question is, how come he got away with it after the attempted kidnapping on the elevated highway?
