Chapter 197: Blind Date 1
Now it was already time for school to let out, there were hardly any people left in the school, Su Yun Jiao deliberately slowed her pace, pulling Zhou Tingting as they walked toward the school gate. Zhou Tingting lowered her head and glanced at her watch; the time was already approaching the time that he and Zheng Haoyuan had agreed upon, but she herself had not yet set out.
'Jiaojiao, do you really think it's appropriate for me not to go? When the time comes, what will my mother say about me?'
'You definitely have to go; I never said I wouldn't let you go.'
'Ah?'
But they had clearly agreed yesterday not to go today.
'If you don't go, your mother will definitely be angry with you; but if you go and discover that Zheng Haoyuan is being ambiguous with another girl, then the fault won't lie with you.'
'Zheng Haoyuan is clearly on a date with me; how could he possibly be ambiguous with another woman?'
Zhou Tingting felt that what Su Yun Jiao said was unlikely to happen, but Su Yun Jiao put on a serious expression and said, 'You just try it and you'll see.'
'…Okay, then I'll give it a try.'
Zhou Tingting and Su Yun Jiao got into the car and then drove toward the restaurant they had agreed upon.
It had already been arranged beforehand to be the Hai Cheng Restaurant; when Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting arrived, they happened to see Qin Xue wearing a beautiful white dress, walking into the restaurant.
Today Zheng Haoyuan, in order to complete this blind date, specially had someone reserve all the seats in the hall.
This was solely to give Zhou Tingting a good impression.
Through the window Zhou Tingting saw Zheng Haoyuan; he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking like a proper gentleman, and his appearance was truly not inferior to Lu Chi's at all.
However, Zhou Tingting had previously heard that Zheng Haoyuan's character was lacking, so her first impression was not good.
'Jiaojiao, I really want to know why Qin Xue is here.'
Just now Zhou Tingting had only seen Qin Xue's back view; after Qin Xue went inside, Zhou Tingting realized that person was Qin Xue.
At the moment Zhou Tingting was puzzled, Su Yun Jiao said, 'Wasn't our conversation yesterday overheard by Qin Xue?'
'What conversation?'
Zhou Tingting was completely out of the loop, having no idea what Su Yun Jiao meant by saying that.
After Su Yun Jiao gave Zhou Tingting a look, Zhou Tingting suddenly recalled that yesterday Su Yun Jiao had deliberately asked him where he and Zheng Haoyuan would meet today.
At the time she still thought Su Yun Jiao was just asking casually, never imagining that Su Yun Jiao had actually said it for Qin Xue to hear.
'You can do it!'
Zhou Tingting practically wanted to worship Su Yun Jiao.
I never expected Su Yun Jiao to be this clever.
She deliberately had her convey this message to Qin Xue in order to lure Qin Xue into taking the bait.
To have Qin Xue take his place at this meal.
When the time came for Zheng Haoyuan and Qin Xue to sit together, they could completely take photos as evidence, using this incident to thoroughly clear their relationship with Zheng Haoyuan.
Su Yun Jiao knew Zhou Tingting hadn't grasped her true intention; in fact, Zheng Haoyuan placed great importance on family background and judged people by appearance.
Qin Xue's appearance here this time is entirely due to her vanity. Qin Xue wants to catch a wealthy husband; she can only do so by leveraging Zhou Tingting's reputation, otherwise there would be no way for her to meet someone of Zheng Haoyuan's stature.
Even if Qin Xue suffers a loss in this date, she can only say that Qin Xue is too greedy.
Here.
Qin Xue had already walked into the hall; Zheng Haoyuan had actually been noticing her since just a moment ago.
Zheng Haoyuan hadn't looked at Zhou Tingting's photo; when he saw Qin Xue come out, he actually felt a bit disappointed.
Because in his impression his mother had said Zhou Tingting was a particularly charming, big woman.
Although she was only in high school, her speech and deportment were very much like those of a lady from a prestigious family.
But now, seeing Qin Xue before him, Zheng Haoyuan felt she was rather plain and bland, like a neighbor's girl, really too reserved.
This is not the type Zheng Haoyuan likes.
Qin Xue glanced at Zheng Haoyuan somewhat shyly; although she had heard from Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting that Zheng Haoyuan was good‑looking, she hadn't expected him to be this handsome.
At this moment Zheng Haoyuan acted very gentlemanly, pulling out a chair for Qin Xue and saying, 'First time meeting, I am Zheng Haoyuan.'
Zheng Haoyuan was modest and courteous; Qin Xue's face flushed, and she immediately reached out to shake his hand: 'Young Master Zheng, hello.'
'Or just call me Zheng Haoyuan; I don't want to keep such a distance between us.'
Outside the hotel.
Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting were watching this scene; Zhou Tingting had already taken out her phone, ready to record it, but Su Yun Jiao shook her head at Zhou Tingting and said, 'What can this kind of photo prove? Let's just keep watching.'
Su Yun Jiao especially understood what kind of person Zheng Haoyuan is.
In her previous life, because Zhou Tingting liked Lu Chi, she also cared deeply about Zhou Tingting's affairs.
She clearly knew that Zheng Haoyuan was not a good person.
Moreover, he was especially lustful, not picking and choosing at all.
At that moment, Zheng Haoyuan had indeed already been chatting happily with Qin Xue; being a master of the dating scene, he could make Qin Xue very happy with just a few words.
Qin Xue also hadn't expected Zheng Haoyuan to be so easy to talk to; a few simple sentences made her blush for Zheng Haoyuan, completely forgetting Lu Chi.
Zheng Haoyuan said, 'I've heard that you don't seem to particularly like me.'
Zheng Haoyuan directly threw out this question; Qin Xue knew the person he was referring to was Zhou Tingting.
But in order not to be discovered, Qin Xue still pretended not to understand Zheng Haoyuan's words.
She bit her lip and said, 'Actually I do like you; you seem like a particularly good person.'
Hearing Qin Xue say that, Zheng Haoyuan felt confident in his heart, since no girl could escape his romantic advances; he therefore directly reached out a hand toward Qin Xue.
'Would you be willing to be my fiancée?'
Zheng Haoyuan didn't say anything else; the reason he came this time for a blind date with Zhou Tingting was simply to secure her, as this was the task given to him by his family.
Furthermore, being with a young lady from a prestigious family like Zhou Tingting meant he was sure to profit and never lose.
In the future, going out would also give him more face.
Qin Xue nodded, then reached out and clasped hands with Zheng Haoyuan.
After seeing this, Zhou Tingting directly took a photo.
Now my mother definitely can't say that I'm unwilling to come over and go on a blind date with Zheng Haoyuan, right?
"Don't rush, it's not over yet."
Su Yun Jiao knew there were more good shows waiting for them.
Zhou Tingting, however, looked puzzled: "Isn't it already all settled?"
