Chapter 266: Men Go on Blind Dates Too

"Forget it, someone with those conditions certainly cannot enter our family's door."

"Then consider it as if I never said anything," Ling Feng said.

Ling Mu commanded: "You must go pick up that friend tomorrow, otherwise I will consider myself as having no son like you."

Ling Feng couldn't help but say: "Then does that mean I don't have to provide for your old age? Don't you think that's a huge loss? You worked so hard to raise me, and when the time comes that you need someone to provide for your old age, you have no son."

"Whether I have a son or not doesn't matter, just give me a grandson and that will be enough."

"I can't satisfy that requirement of yours."

"Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll take you to see a psychiatrist tomorrow to see if you've gone insane."

"Are you even my real mother?"

"Only a real mother would care about these things for you."

Ling Feng felt helpless and had to say: "Fine, I'll go tomorrow, is that okay?"

Ling Feng didn't set an alarm at all and slept until past 10 in the morning. Ling Mu bombarded him with one phone call after another, the family's nanny came over to urge him, and there were even two security guards who came to invite him to get up.

There was no other way, so he had to get up.

After he left his room, he first changed into a limited-edition Prada T-shirt, then put on a pair of Louis XIII trousers and a pair of handmade leather shoes.

He only had these clothes.

Outside the room door was an antique-style courtyard, complete with rockeries, pavilions, and a lotus pond.

There were a few koi in the pond, swimming happily in the water.

After leaving the courtyard, he arrived at a central corridor and passed through another courtyard, where workers were cleaning; upon seeing him, they all called out, "Good morning, Young Master."

He responded with a nod and walked to the front courtyard.

His grandfather was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard, and seeing him come out, he complained: "Waking up so late?"

"It's the weekend, after all."

"I never see you wake up early on workdays either."

"Well, I'm the boss, aren't I?"

Grandfather said: "Where are you planning to go today?"

"My mom is making me go on a blind date."

"Speaking of blind dates, I have a candidate here too. She is the great-granddaughter of an old comrade-in-arms of mine, a graduate of Qingbei University who studied architecture. Do you want to meet her?"

Ling Feng said painfully: "Grandfather, let's take them one by one. I'll go on the one my mom introduced first."

"Then hurry up and go. If it's not a good fit, come back and tell me. Remember, you cannot have a playful attitude anymore. Be an upright and responsible man, understand?"

"Understood, Grandfather."

Ling Feng waited at the airport for a long time before the Ph. D. student who returned from M Country finally appeared.

The moment he saw her, Ling Feng felt that they were not people from the same world.

The Ph. D. lady was too serious and dressed very conservatively; she looked entirely like an academic, and even her hair was combed meticulously.

The Ph. D. student saw Ling Feng and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the flight was delayed and kept you waiting."

"It's fine. Are you hungry? How about I treat you to a meal?" Ling Mu had instructed him that he must treat the Ph. D. lady to a meal.

"Okay, I haven't been back to Beishi for too long, you choose the restaurant," the Ph. D. lady said.

Ling Feng took the Ph. D. lady to a Chinese restaurant that served Cantonese cuisine.

While eating, the Ph. D. student took the initiative to ask him: "I heard you work in the new energy vehicle sector? What position do you hold?"

"Regional Manager," Ling Feng said.

The Ph. D. lady began her lecture mode: "I studied the area of regional management when I was doing my master's degree. To be a good regional manager, one must be familiar with their team and understand the clients within their region..."

Ling Feng really didn't want to be lectured, so he said: "I know."

The Ph. D. lady asked again: "Then what are your hobbies? What do you do when you're not working?"

Ling Feng didn't want to talk about himself, so he asked her: "And you?"

"Me? I believe that a person should not waste time. Even when resting, one should utilize time well and do meaningful things. I am currently majoring in finance, but I have also studied investment, and I have even dabbled in Traditional Chinese Medicine..."

Ling Feng grinned: "I'm the opposite of you. I'm the type of person who wanders around whenever I have time."

"That's not good. You have to know that life is very short. A few years ago you were in your twenties, but in the blink of an eye, you're over thirty. Have you achieved any accomplishments in between?"

"..."

After the meal, Ling Feng politely sent the Ph. D. lady back, but he refused her request for his WeChat.

He felt that he was not worthy of the Ph. D. lady.

As it turned out, Ling Mu called again that evening, saying that the Ph. D. lady was very interested in him, felt that he was an interesting man with a cute personality, and was especially humorous, and she hoped to continue seeing him.

Ling Feng refused directly: "No, I feel like a student in front of her."

"That's exactly why someone needs to keep you in check."

"Then I might as well stay with you every day."

"You..."

Ling Feng said: "Mom, please spare me. She and I are not a good fit."

Ling Mu couldn't sway Ling Feng, so she had to let it go.

After Ling Laoyezi found out, he immediately pushed forward his old comrade-in-arms' great-granddaughter, hoping to introduce her to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng firmly refused to go.

That day, he suddenly thought of what Mou Lili had said: Why don't you go to the impoverished mountain areas and see if there is anything there that needs you to do?

Ling Feng suddenly felt that this was a good idea.

……

Mou Lili slept for a while, opened her eyes, and saw the unfamiliar duty room of the recording studio in front of her.

She had only just gotten up when Mou Dafu called her again: "Where are you? I'm hungry, bring me breakfast when you come back."

Mou Lili asked: "How old are you? You have hands and feet, can't you make it yourself?"

"I don't know how to cook, you know that."

"Sorry, I don't know how either, and I don't want to."

Mou Dafu got angry: "Then give me money, I'll go out and eat myself."

"Do I owe you money? It's enough that I let you sleep in my place, and now I have to feed you too?"

"So you're not going to take care of me, right?" Mou Dafu had a bad temper; he hung up the phone and immediately called Mou Mu.

Before long, Mou Mu called, berating Mou Lili right from the start: "I told you to look after your brother, can't you even cook a meal for him?"

Mou Lili said: "If I didn't look after him, he would still be wandering the streets right now. I've already let him sleep in my place, and I still have to cook for him?"

"Give him money to go out and eat."

"Mom, you haven't forgotten, have you? I'm 27 this year, Mou Dafu is 25. I'm just his sister two years older than him, not his mother. If you want him fed, you come and do it."

"But he hasn't found a job, where would he have money? How can you be so heartless as a sister?"

Before Mou Mu had finished speaking, Mou Fu's call came in.

He launched into a barrage of abuse: "We gave birth to you and raised you so you would contribute properly to this family. In the end, you don't care about this, you don't care about that. We would have been better off not giving birth to you and just strangling you to death back then."

"Fine, I'll give it, I'll give it, is that enough?"

Mou Lili couldn't take it; she found it annoying.

She transferred two thousand yuan to Mou Dafu and said: I've solved both your food and housing, move out once you find a job.

Mou Dafu accepted the money without even saying a thank you.

At this moment, Qiu Ge also returned to work. Seeing Mou Lili's state, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Who were you arguing with?"

Mou Lili sighed: "Of course, it's those people I can't afford to offend."

Qiu Ge asked again: "By the way, there is a Music Enthusiasts Association in our city. They have an event coming up soon to go to the countryside for inspiration, do you want to go together?"
