Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the hospital, Shen Qingyue received a call from Chen Ying, inviting her to dinner that evening. However, upon arriving, she realized that it wasn’t just her and Chen Ying; there were two young men as well.
Through Chen Ying’s introduction, Shen Qingyue learned that she was here to accompany her on a blind date.
Chen Ying’s date was a handsome and charming man, with a refined demeanor that exuded elegance.
Observing the situation, Shen Qingyue whispered to Chen Ying, “Do your parents and Chen Song know about this blind date?”
Hearing Chen Song’s name, Chen Ying instinctively tensed up but quickly concealed it. “I’ve… mentioned it. Don’t worry about it. Let’s order some food.
Take a look at the menu and decide what you’d like to eat.”
Shen Qingyue could tell that Chen Ying was only in a rush to go on this blind date because of Chen Song, so she did not press the issue.
As for the man accompanying Chen Ying on the date, the moment he saw Shen Qingyue, his eyes seemed to be glued to her. “I wonder, Miss Shen, are you single?”
Shen Qingyue evaded the question, saying, “I already have a boyfriend.”
The man’s mood immediately deflated, and he did not engage in further conversation with her.
Chen Ying chatted with her date for a while and found him quite agreeable. After all, this was just a blind date, and she was eager to find a serious boyfriend. “Mr. Leng, may I ask what kind of work you do?”
Upon hearing this, Leng Shiji wore a confident smile on his face. “My family owns a large supermarket, and I earn about 100,000 a month.”
“Ah, I see.” Chen Ying was not particularly interested in his income. She had her parents and Chen Song supporting her financially, so she was not overly concerned about economic matters.
However, whenever Chen Ying tried to steer the conversation to other topics, Leng Shiji consistently redirected it, taking the opportunity to boast about his family’s wealth.
Chen Ying detested this type of bragging, and her initial favorable impression of him quickly diminished. After all, when it came to financial strength, Leng Shiji could not compare to the Chen family.
Leng Shiji did not seem to notice Chen Ying’s change and continued to talk incessantly. “My family is local, and we currently own two properties in the city center. Our old family home is also waiting for demolition, and the compensation will be at least eight figures. I may not have a job yet, but my parents can support us. Since my family only has one child, they just want me to be healthy and happy, with no other requirements. However, my mother does have some expectations for a future daughter-in-law. You should understand this, given our family’s circumstances. After all, with our conditions, my mother is worried that the other party might be interested in our money. I see that your car is not cheap either, probably costing several hundred thousand, right? In terms of social status, we should be a good match. By the way, what do you do for a living?”
At that moment, Shen Qingyue understood that his courteous demeanor was solely because he hadn’t said much.
Chen Ying smiled politely, “I don’t have a job either; I’m living off my parents.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Shiji immediately wore a stern expression. “You don’t have a job? How long do you plan to rely on your parents? You can’t just live off me for free after marrying me, can you?”
Chen Ying was so angry she almost flipped the table, and her tone lost its mildness. “Did I say I would marry you? Two properties in the city center are impressive? I have a seaside villa and several others. Did I show off like you? Everything is dictated by your mother, isn’t it? Your mother this, your mother that. Why don’t you just marry your mother? And another thing!” Chen Ying continued, panting for breath. “I drive a new Lamborghini, which costs 6.91 million! You ignorant snob! Look at the logo; can’t you see?”
Leng Shiji was taken aback by her outburst, feeling a bit confused. However, as Chen Ying continued to speak, his eyes lit up. “Miss Chen, your family is very wealthy?” Clearly, this was something he hadn’t anticipated.
Chen Ying, infuriated, responded, “None of your business. This blind date ends here! Goodbye.”
“Are you just playing with me then?” Leng Shiji’s face turned serious. “I came here for a serious purpose, with the intention of getting married.”
Chen Ying could not help but burst into laughter. “I can’t possibly afford your family, so I’ll pass.”
Leng Shiji couldn’t miss the sarcasm in her tone. He felt that his dignity had been trampled upon. “I spoke to you politely, and you responded with such words? Don’t be too arrogant. Having some money doesn’t make you invincible!”
Chen Ying rolled her eyes in exasperation. She had figured out that rich, snobbish men were terrifying. She had no intention of wasting any more time with this man. She stood up, pulling Shen Qingyue with her. “Mr. Leng, I’m not qualified to enjoy your family’s riches. You should find someone else who’s willing.”
The two of them quickly left the restaurant.
Outside, Shen Qingyue could not contain her laughter any longer.. “Where did you find such a bizarre blind date?”
