Her Plan
Chi Yi happened to be lying next to her uncle doing her homework when the man received a call from Chi Yunlin.
“Zuxu, that girl is not bad indeed. Not only does she come from a good family background, but she’s also a sensible and pretty-looking girl — the typical rich young missy. You’d better not stand her up!”
“Alright, Sis. This is the fifth time you’re calling me today. I got it. I won’t stand her up.”
“That’d better be! 6 PM tomorrow at Zuoke Steakhouse, don’t you be late!”
“Alright, I got it!”
Chi Zuxu felt that his ears were about to form calluses from all the nagging he received from his second sister.
Biting down on the pen head, the young girl turned her big glistening eyes toward him and questioned him right away the moment the call ended. “Are you going on a blind date tomorrow?”
“Focus on your homework!”
With that, he sat back on his office chair, totally ignoring the lass’ earlier question.
She simply tossed the pen aside, got up, and sprawled over his broad desk. “Answer me first, are you going on a blind date tomorrow?”
“Is that any of your business?”
“Why not?!”
She got all anxious.
“What has it got to do with you?” The man regarded his niece with a meaningful look.
“It has… everything to do with me!” It was only after thinking of an excuse for a while did an idea strike her and she said, “Think about it, I’m now being put up at your place. What’s gonna happen if your future wife doesn’t like me? What am I to do if she bullies me, detests me, abuses me? So, in my opinion, you should bring me along to your blind date and let me assess the person!”
She spoke of her convictions with such confidence.
“Bully, detest, and abuse you? Chi the Fourth, are you sure you’re not telling me the biggest joke of the century?”
“… What do you mean?”
Her uncle cocked a brow. “The most important thing to consider when looking for a wife is whether or not she will be bullied and abused by you, this little demon…”
“You…” She stomped her foot in anger. “Am I that evil?!”
“Go do your homework!” ordered the man sternly once again.
“Will you take me with you tomorrow then?” she asked again.
“No way!”
“…”
This got the lass all gloomy and depressed.

The next day.
“Your third uncle is attending a blind date?”
When Su Yunhua learned of this news, she was practically going to blow up. “Why aren’t you finding a way to stop him from attending the blind date?”
“How I wish I could! I’m afraid I would enrage him though.” Chi Yi pouted, looking a little discouraged.
“You’re a goner, Chi Yi!” Her bestie poked her in the head. “You haven’t even gotten him interested in you, but you’re already tamed into a meek little lamb. With your low EQ, you’re completely hopeless!”
Clasping and raising her hands in worship, she cried out piteously, “Please offer me some advice, Sis Hua.”
“Fine! On account of your sincerity, I shall offer you my help again!” Yunhua continued. “As the saying goes, ‘know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated’. Don’t you already know the meeting place and time? Head over after school to stand guard there and take a good look at his blind date!”
“You want me to stand guard there and watch them flirt around? Won’t I appear desolate and pathetic?”
“Exactly, so I’ll help you arrange a blind date as well! Rest assured, you won’t be lacking a hunk beside you then. If they really do flirt with each other, you won’t be lacking in any way too, right?! Besides, I can promise you with all my integrity, that guy isn’t going to embarrass you in any way. So, is that a deal?”
“Deal!” Chi Yi cheerfully slapped a high-five with her friend in celebration. “You’re the most awesome bestie in the whole wide world!”
