Chapter 127: Li Beijue is Angry

"What kind of blind date? Brother, I'm still young! If you want to go, let that old man go himself!" Cai Xiaotang said immediately.

"Xiao Tang, that old man you're talking about is your father."

Mu Liusu's tone suddenly became a little more serious.

Cai Xiaotang was instantly even more furious: "So what? Does that mean I have to listen to him and do things I don't want to do? Brother, I'm not you; I don't need to inherit the Mu Family, so there's no need to be so obedient!"

Mu Liusu was silent for two seconds, then advised again: "Letting you go on a blind date is for your own good. You are the eldest daughter of the Mu Family..."

"So I must marry someone with status and standing? If I married a beggar on the side of the road, would it make your entire Mu Family lose face? Brother, I thought you understood me."

Cai Xiaotang cut him off, her tone becoming somewhat cold.

Although Mu Liusu was her half-brother.

He had been good to her since she was a child.

The relationship between the two of them could also be considered harmonious.

But Cai Xiaotang had not expected that he would call to force her into a blind date.

"Of course I understand you." Mu Liusu seemed to chuckle again, then spoke: "That's why I rejected all the blind date candidates Dad chose for you. I picked this person for you myself. Even if it's just for my sake, you have to go whether you want to or not. Otherwise, next time..."

Mu Liusu's tone carried a smile, yet also held a hint of a faint threat.

Cai Xiaotang's brow twitched instantly.

Next time... who knows what kind of trash that old man at home will arrange!

Cai Xiaotang was silent for a moment, quickly analyzing the pros and cons.

Then she suddenly thought of something.

Her eyes lit up, and she instantly changed her tune: "I can agree to you, but in exchange, you have to agree to do me a favor!"

"Speak." Mu Liusu curled his lips.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly said: "I remember you have a classmate who is a very brilliant brain surgeon, right? A family member of a friend of mine is sick. Help me arrange a meeting with that doctor!"

Mu Liusu pondered for a moment and asked: "A doctor... are you talking about Liu Xin'ai?"

Cai Xiaotang replied decisively: "I don't know, and what she's called isn't important. What's important is that you have to help me set up a meeting with her! And she must be available on call from now on! Then I'll agree to go on the blind date!"

Mu Liusu didn't bother asking more and agreed readily: "Fine, that's not difficult. It's a deal."

The two reached an agreement and, without saying more, hung up the phone directly.

Once the weekend arrived.

Cai Xiaotang finished her business trip early in the morning and rushed back, coming directly to the Li Mansion.

Jiang Baobao had already received the news and was already dressed and ready, waiting for Cai Xiaotang to arrive so they could set off.

In the living room, the three little ones were all gathered around Jiang Baobao.

"Mommy, are you going out? Take us with you!"

Mobai hugged Jiang Baobao's bag, looking like he wouldn't let go unless Mommy took them along.

Jiang Baobao checked the time and replied, laughing despite herself: "Babies, Mommy has a friend who is sick, and Mommy is going to consult a doctor. It's not convenient to take you. Can you three be good and wait for Mommy to come back?"

"Going to see a doctor, huh..."

Mobai instantly realized the seriousness of the matter and obediently handed Jiang Baobao's bag back.

Yanbao and Tiantian also said together: "Mommy, don't worry about us! We will be good!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao felt incredibly comforted.

After playing with the three little ones for a while longer, she received a message from Cai Xiaotang.

"Your godmother has arrived. Mommy is heading out now! I'll bring you little cakes when I get back!"

As she said this, Jiang Baobao stood up, kissed the three little ones, and then left quickly.

Outside the door, as soon as Jiang Baobao stepped out, she saw Cai Xiaotang.

"Xiao Tang, where are we meeting the doctor? The Hospital?"

Jiang Baobao asked impatiently.

As Cai Xiaotang pulled her into the car, she replied: "No, I arranged to meet her at a coffee shop. We have plenty of time today, so you two can chat slowly."

"Okay." Jiang Baobao's brows were tightly locked, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

Cai Xiaotang noticed her mood, patted her hand gently, and comforted her: "I'll help you solve whatever the issue is. Your uncle's illness will definitely be curable."

"Mm..." Jiang Baobao felt a warmth in her heart, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

Hopefully, there will really be a good result today...

Li Mansion—

Li Beijue did not go to the company today, but stayed home to handle work.

He was looking at documents when he suddenly heard his phone ring.

Seeing that it was a call from Liu Rumeng, Li Beijue answered it casually.

Immediately after, he heard a weak voice come from the other end of the line.

"Jue, are you busy? Did I disturb your work?"

Liu Rumeng asked this first, and after finishing, she deliberately coughed once.

Li Beijue replied nonchalantly: "It's alright, what is it?"

Liu Rumeng's voice instantly became somewhat joyful, and she continued weakly: "Nothing, it's just that I haven't seen you in a long time. If you aren't busy, could you have lunch with me today?"

"Today?"

Li Beijue raised his eyes to look at the calendar to confirm the time.

Then he refused without hesitation: "I'm afraid today won't work. It's the weekend, and I need to stay home to accompany the children."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Rumeng's fists clenched tightly.

It was that meddlesome little bastard Yanbao again!

She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and deliberately let her voice take on a tearful tone.

Then she said in a low voice, "I see... then I was too abrupt, actually..."

Liu Rumeng deliberately paused, not continuing to speak.

Li Beijue did not think much of it and followed up by asking, "What is it?"

Joy flickered in the depths of Liu Rumeng's eyes, and only then did she continue, "Actually, I was in a car accident a few days ago and got a bit hurt; I almost injured my fingers... I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming that I can never play the piano again, and even when I practice, it affects me... The Doctor says it's a psychological issue and told me not to stay cooped up at home all the time, but to find friends to go out and eat or chat with. But I've thought it over, and besides you, I don't seem to have any friends I'm particularly close with. As for casual friends, everyone is very busy, and I feel bad about bothering others..."

Li Beijue was silent for a moment.

Liu Rumeng had been arrogant and aloof when she was in school, so she indeed did not have many female friends around her.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Liu Rumeng say again, "It's fine, if it's inconvenient for you, then forget it. I just get a bit scared whenever I think about that car accident, so I wanted to find someone to talk to..."

With things having reached this point, Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he had no choice but to agree, "Let's do noon. Where do you want to eat? Send me the address."

"Won't that delay you too much?" Liu Rumeng feigned surprise.

Immediately, without waiting for Li Beijue to speak, she hurriedly continued, "To thank you, I'll treat you to lunch today! I'll send you the restaurant in a moment!"

"Mm," Li Beijue replied indifferently, said nothing more, and hung up the phone directly.

On the other end, Liu Rumeng immediately threw down her phone and ran straight to the wardrobe!

Having finally managed to ask Li Beijue out, she had to "dress up" properly!
