Names mentioned in this chapter :
–苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist
–刘玥(liú yuè)- Liu Yue, the female protagonist’s mother, which is also known as Mrs. Su
–顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
-顾董(gù dǒng)- Chairman Gu
-唐笑(táng xiào) – Tang Xiao, Su Rui’s friend and daughter of the chairman of Tang Jing Group
Tang Xiao looked at Su Rui who had a casual expression, which did not seem like she was faking or pretending to be reserved at all. Although Tang Xiao said in a half-jokingly manner, she was a little relieved.
She felt that Su Rui’s blind date with Gu Yu Cheng wouldn’t have any results.
In the past two years, there have been many people who want to be acquainted with the Gu family or liked Gu Yu Cheng and offer themselves to Gu Yu Cheng[1]. There were also many people who were more formal and let Mrs Gu arrange the blind date.
But, who did Chairman Gu fancy?
Even though she knew Su Rui wouldn’t have any ending with the blind date with Gu Yu Cheng, but when she heard that Su Rui was not charmed by Gu Yu Cheng because of the blind date made Tang Xiao happy.
This person, Su Rui, seemed pretty good when she got to know her. She hoped that this girl[2] ,that she think was good, wouldn’t be like those morons who would just open their legs when they see Gu Yu Cheng.
“Did your family arrange other blind dates for you?” Tang Xiao asked. In her heart, she wondered if the blind date with the Gu family wasn’t successful, would the Su family arrange other blind dates for her.
“Erm, not yet at the moment.” Su Rui said without saying anything more.
Although, she and Gu Yu Cheng have not exchanged the ba zi[3], since they are just going with the flow, she has to uphold the spirit of the contract, and cant have another blind date in this period of time.
Liu Yue probably also considered this point and did not rush to bring Su Rui to any places for afternoon tea recently.
Even though she attended today’s banquet, Liu Yue’s intention was to brag about her daughter, and did not force Su Rui to come into contact with the opposite gender of her age.
“Congratulations to you.”
“Why?” As she saw Tang Xiao’s depressed face, Su Rui asked.
“To tell you the truth, I’ve attended six or seven blind dates recently.”
There are few families who don’t want to be acquainted with the Gu family with this kind of existence. The Tang family was of no exceptions but her father knows their limitations.
From the beginning, the goal of a connection through marriage excluded the possibility of the Gu family. More than half of the blind dates that were arranged for Tang Xiao were of families with rather equal standings, and have some dealings in business.
“There, you see the person in the blue tie over there? He was also one of my blind date.” Tang Xiao pointed to a young man in his early twenties not far away, and said expressionlessly.
As Su Rui heard this, she looked in the direction Tang Xiao pointed.
Actually… He is not bad right?
His appearance is not bad. He has big stature. If they were to have a child, the child would inherit the tall gene…
Su Rui looked at Tang Xiao. She originally wanted to express her opinion: Actually this blind date is not bad. If there are no problems, then just marrying him would be good too.
However, looking at Tang Xiao’s face showing that she was opposed to the idea, Su Rui thought that she wouldn’t say it.
A young girl in her early twenties seems to hate the idea of blind dates right?
Su Rui couldn’t remember what she thought when she was twenty, but in those three years in the hospital, under the different language education of aunties. Su Rui became pragmatic.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. It’s annoying to talk about!” Tang Xiao waved her hands and said. She held Su Rui’s hands and suggested, “Let’s go there and eat.”
Hearing this, Su Rui was dumbfounded.
“Are you hungry?”
“I’m not hungry. I’m bored. What else can I do other than eating?” She would be told off when she plays with her phone.
“I thought this kind of banquet’s food is just for formalities.” Su Rui said truthfully what she thought.
When Tang Xiao heard her comments, she smiled.
“Puh, it seems to be true.”
“But, anyway, we have nothing to do and no one would notice us. We can eat a little bit and it will be fine. I tried some just now. The banquet’s food is edible, and it is quite delicious.”
“Let’s go.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Before I left the house, I had four bags of potato chips.”
“Haha, Su Rui, were you worried that you would starve, so you ate in advance?” Tang Xiao couldn’t control her laughter and asked. As she thought about it, she found that this banquet was not bad.
Not every banquet was as conscientious in food as it’s today.
Tang Xiao wanted to express her approval, but she heard Su Rui calmly remarked, “No, I only like potato chips.”
