Taking the opportunity while in the restroom, she made a call to inquire about it.
Liang Qiaoqiao answered the phone quickly.
Nanxi asked, âCousin, where are you?
Grandma said youâre on a blind date!
Is that true?â
ââ¦â
No response from the other end.
Nanxi checked her phone for technical issues, confirmed that the number was right and called out again, âCousin?
Can you hear me?â
ââ¦Yes, sheâs on a date!â
ââ¦â
Nanxi was stunned, because the person who responded was a man!
âMay I know who you areâ¦â
âMy name is Chen Juncai!
Iâm your cousinâs blind date!â
ââ¦â
ââ¦â
âWhatâs up?â
The sound of a delicate womanâs voice came through the phone, Nanxi recognized it as Liang Qiaoqiao.
After waiting for a moment, sure enough, she heard Liang Qiaoqiaoâs voice:
âHello, Nanxi!
Whatâs up, calling at this hour?â
âCousin!
Iâ¦
I canât believe you really went on a blind date!â Nanxi voiced her disbelief!
Liang Qiaoqiao frowned on the other end, âWhatâs the matter?
Why canât I go on a blind date?â
ââ¦â
Nanxi was speechless, True, why couldnât Liang Qiaoqiao go on a blind date!
Butâ¦
didnât Liang Qiaoqiao have someone she liked?
âNanxi, Iâm 27, not 17.
I canât stay single for the rest of my life, I must find someone to spend life with, donât I?â
âNo, wellâ¦
Cousin, I meanâ¦
why did that manâ¦
answer your phone?â
Even if he was her blind date, it was rude to answer someone elseâs phone without permission!
And also, he made her look like a fool.
Nanxi was mortified!
Liang Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment, â thereâs no cause for surprise, I went to the restroom and I was afraid someone might call to check in, so I told him, if anyone calls, just help me answer!â
ââ¦â Nanxi was taken aback, Check-in?
They must be worried sheâd run away from her date again!
What a lack of trust!
cough!
âSo, Cousin, does this mean yourâ¦
satisfied with him?â
Liang Qiaoqiao thought for a moment before responding, âHeâs 30, a Science and engineering graduate, an architect, not bad-looking, gentle, articulate, an only child, with decent income, his parents live abroad, so I wonât be dealing with any in-law conflictsâ¦
Overall, heâs pretty good!â
ââ¦So youâre planning on dating him?â
âYes, Grandmaâs old now, and I donât want to worry her.
Now that Iâve met someone suitable letâs see how it goes!â
Nanxi didnât respond; Liang Qiaoqiao was in love with someone else but was now dating another man!
Such a thing would have been unthinkable with her previous character!
So, she understood the compromise Liang Qiaoqiao was making!
Nanxi felt slightly upset!
After hanging up, Nanxi returned to find Xu Mei about to leave.
Frowning, Nanxi asked, âAunt Xu Mei, why are you leaving so early?â
âI have something to do at home.
I came to spend time with your grandma today because I was worried about her being alone.
Now that youâre back to accompany her, Iâm relieved.
Iâll come over again tomorrow!â
Nanxi didnât insist.
Following her grandmotherâs instructions, she escorted Aunt Xu Mei downstairs.
Downstairs, Xu Mei gestured for her to go back upstairs.
Nanxi pursed her lips and asked, âAunt Xu Mei, I want to ask a question, I donât know if I shouldâ¦â
Xu Mei smiled, âAsk!
You donât need to be shy with me!â
Nanxi was somewhat embarrassed but finally asked, âAunt Xu Mei, do you like my uncle?â
Xu Mei was startled by the question and it turned awkward for a while.
Nanxi felt she was somewhat overstepping, but she believed she needed to clarify the matter!
Nanxi went on, âAunt Xu Mei, Iâve never met my aunt, but Iâve seen her photo.
She was a capable and beautiful woman with short hair like yours.
When she smiled, she was naturally kind and confident.
She was known to be tough when dealing with matters, very resolute and decisive, but you, Aunt Xu Mei, youâre a completely different type of womanâ¦â
Xu Meiâs eyes flickered.
âAunt Xu Mei, I can see that my uncle really likes you.
Even though he has lingering feelings for my deceased aunt, and those feelings may last for a long time, even a lifetime, but he likes you now, Aunt Xu Mei.
He likes you for who you are, you donât need to change into anyone elseâ¦â
Xu Meiâs smile twitched.
She reached out and took Nanxiâs hand, sighing, âI have been foolish.
You understand things better than I do.
Nanxi, thank you!â
Nanxi laughed, âYouâre welcome Aunt!â
Around six in the evening, Liang Youquan came home.
Liang Qiaoqiao had plans to watch a movie with the architect, so she didnât come home for dinner!
Her grandmother was both happy and emotional.
She felt as if her granddaughter was already married!
Nanxi watched from the side, also touched!
At dinner, her uncle mentioned something about Mo Yan visiting the store yesterday and changing the contract.
Nanxi was anxious as soon as she heard the word contract, so she asked what the contract was about!
Liang Youquan said, âMo Yanâs boss, Mr.
Lu, has now bought the whole West Street block!
He plans to build a Cultural Street hereâ¦
The specifics are unclear to me at the moment, but Mo Yan took me to meet a few leaders from the Culture Bureau.
It seems this project will have both corporate sponsorship and government support.
Itâs almost a certainty!â
Nanxi was shocked.
She remembered not long ago when Lu Yinchu visited to assess the investment value of the store.
She had thought he was joking, but it turns out he really bought the entire West Street block!
That evening, Nanxi received a phone call from Li Weihuan.
She inquired about Li Xiangchenâs health condition, offering some words of encouragement and comfort before hanging up.
Lying in bed, she couldnât fall asleep.
She went through her contacts again and again on her phone, finally finding the number and after hesitating for a moment, she dialed it.
The other side of the phone rang once, twice, three times, but no one answered.
Nanxi frowned, could he be busy?
She pursed her lips, didnât think about it too much and hung up, putting the phone on the bedside table, ready to sleep.
Just then, the phone rang.
She grabbed it to see a call from Lu Yinchu!
Nanxi took a deep breath.
She thought he probably saw the missed call and called back to check.
Not wanting to keep him waiting, she immediately answered the call.
She checked the time before answering, It was five minutes past ten thirty at night.
âHello.â
âIâm at the entrance to your complex, come down!â
ââ¦â
âIâll wait for you.â
With a âbeep,â the call ended.
ââ¦â Nanxi was exasperated, she hadnât even agreed yet!
