Chapter 302: Even Men Go on Blind Dates

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

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything," Ling Feng said.

Ling Mu commanded: "You must go pick up that friend tomorrow, otherwise I will consider myself as not having a son like you."

Ling Feng couldn't help but say: "Then does that mean I don't have to support you in your old age? Don't you think that's a huge loss? You went through all the trouble of raising me, and when the time comes that you need someone to support you, 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 could only say: "Fine, I'll go tomorrow, is that okay?"

Ling Feng hadn'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 also came 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.

These were the only clothes he had.

Outside his bedroom door was a quaint courtyard, complete with rockeries, a pavilion, and a lotus pond.

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

After leaving the courtyard, he reached 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, 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 and see how it goes."

"Then hurry up and go. If it doesn't work out, come back and tell me. Remember, you cannot keep holding a 'just for fun' attitude. Be a man who stands tall and takes responsibility, understand?"

"I understand, Grandfather."

Ling Feng waited at the airport for a long time before that doctor who returned from M Country finally came out.

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

The doctor was too serious and dressed very conservatively; she looked every bit the academic, even her hair was combed meticulously.

Upon seeing Ling Feng, the doctor apologized: "I'm sorry, the flight was delayed and kept you waiting for a long time."

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

"Alright, I haven't been back to Beishi for too long, you choose the restaurant," the doctor said.

Ling Feng took the doctor to a Chinese restaurant that served Cantonese cuisine.

While eating, the doctor took the initiative to ask him: "I heard you work in the new energy vehicle sector? What is your position?"

"Regional manager," Ling Feng said.

The doctor then began her lecture mode: "I studied the regional manager aspect during 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 doctor 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 one 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 the like, and I have also 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 must 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 doctor back, but he refused her request for his WeChat.

He felt that he wasn't good enough for the doctor.

As it turned out, Ling Mu called again that evening, saying that the doctor was very interested in him, felt he was an interesting man with a cute personality, and was especially humorous, hoping to continue the relationship.

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

"That's exactly why you need someone 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 match."

Ling Mu couldn't sway Ling Feng and had no choice but to let it go.

Once Ling Laoyezi found out, he immediately pushed his old comrade's great-granddaughter forward, 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 mountainous 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 apartment, 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'd still be wandering the streets right now. I've already let him sleep in my apartment, and I still have to cook for him?"

"Give him money so he can 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 could finish speaking, Mou Fu's call came in.

He launched into a barrage of scolding: "We gave birth to you and raised you, just so you could contribute properly to this family. In the end, you don't care about this, and 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 taken care of 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's 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?"
