Chapter 405: The Bizarre Blind Date
Shi Youxuan:...
Still want me to be careful in the future?
Although the person isn't outstanding, he has a mysterious sense of confidence.
She wanted to stand up and leave; talking to a person like this was simply a waste of time.
But just as she was about to get up, she was tugged by her father, so she sat back down.
Although Shi Yucheng was also dissatisfied with the man's speech, he felt that judging this person based on just one sentence was too arbitrary; it was better to interact more before reaching a conclusion.
Shi Youxuan didn't want to make her father angry, so fine; since she was already here, it didn't matter if she stayed a little longer or a little less, and it would be good to let her father give up.
Next, the man behaved like a normal human being.
First, he introduced himself as having the surname Jin, called Jin Yinlu.
He is thirty-one years old this year, unmarried!
He emphasized the two words "unmarried" heavily; his unmarried status was the only capital he was proud of.
A smile appeared on Shi Youxuan's face, because of his name.
With the surname Jin and the name Yinlu, how much must this person's parents love money to give their son such a name?
Why not just call him Jin Yuanbao?
That would be more intuitive.
But Shi Youxuan's smile was misunderstood in Jin Yinlu's eyes; he thought Shi Youxuan was interested in him.
That she was conquered by his "unmarried" status and his personal charm.
So this person began to speak shockingly: "Shi Youxuan, right? You don't need to introduce yourself; your situation has already been told to me by your uncle. You used to be a fool, then somehow you got better, and you've even been married and have a daughter..."
Shi Youxuan and her father looked at their neighbor Lao Li in unison; so that was how he had introduced her?
Lao Li chuckled: "This child is good in every way, he's just straightforward; he says whatever is on his mind."
Shi Yucheng:...
Shi Youxuan:...
Is this what you call straightforward?
He is just lacking in character.
But Jin Yinlu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and continued: "You've been married, and I'm unmarried; marrying you is a loss for me, so you have to compensate me."
"I heard you're quite rich, so how about this: you prepare the house and the car. The house doesn't need to be too big, just buy a townhouse villa. I heard that the new real estate project over at Binjiang Road is about to open, so let's buy one there..."
"And the car must be high-end. Anyway, you have money; if you don't spend it on appearances, others can't see it in your pocket. I've had my eye on a Land Rover for a long time; I'll give you a chance, buy it and gift it to me."
Shi Youxuan:...
Seeing Shi Youxuan not speaking, Jin Yinlu took it as her tacit consent.
So he pushed his luck even further: "The house and car must be written in my name, of course, only in my name alone. After all, it's not right for a grown man like me to not even have any assets."
"Also, I'll manage the money in the house from now on. A woman must be virtuous after marriage, must listen to her husband, cannot talk back, cannot throw childish tantrums for no reason, and also..."
Jin Yinlu became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "Although you have a daughter before marriage, which is a stain on your life, it doesn't matter. I can not care about it, but while I can not care, I cannot raise someone else's child."
"Your daughter must be sent away and let the child's father take care of her. As for your father... living in a nursing home is fine, but can't he change to a different place? The place your father lives is too expensive; there's no need for an old man to live in such an expensive place."
"By the way, it's a pity that your house here is empty. I think it can be rented out or sold, and then you can rent a smaller one that's enough to live in. If you feel lonely, just find an old woman from the countryside to serve you; giving her a thousand or eight hundred a month is enough."
"Also, after we get married, I have to bring my parents over to live with us. It wasn't easy for them to raise me, you have to be filial!"
Shi Youxuan:...
She was so angry she laughed; this man must be living in a dream!
Seeing her laugh, Jin Yinlu thought all his conditions had been accepted, and immediately went out triumphantly to call his parents with the good news.
As soon as he went out, Lao Li immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know he was this kind of person. I'm also seeing this person for the first time. Niece, don't be angry. Old Shi, please don't take it to heart. I'll introduce a better one to my niece later..."
"No need."
Shi Yucheng didn't have his daughter's good temper and stood up angrily: "You're really something. We've been neighbors for so many years, and only today do I truly know you!"
After speaking, he pulled his daughter and walked out.
When they got outside, they were seen by Jin Yinlu, who was on the phone. He hurriedly hung up and walked over in a rush: "Hey, why are you leaving so soon? I haven't finished talking yet."
Shi Youxuan smiled beautifully: "If you haven't finished, go back and talk slowly; talk in your dreams."
"My daughter doesn't fancy you, go find someone else to talk to," said Shi Yucheng.
When the father and daughter returned home, Shi Yucheng's anger had not yet subsided; he kept cursing Lao Li for being unreasonable and unreliable.
All these years of being old neighbors were for nothing, introducing such an unreliable person to his daughter...
But cursing is cursing.
After cursing, Shi Yucheng arranged another blind date, to meet in the afternoon!
Shi Youxuan widened her eyes and said in astonishment: "Dad, you still haven't given up?"
Shi Yucheng's eyes widened even more and rounder than hers: "Just because you met one unreliable man, you're backing down? There are plenty of good men; if one doesn't work out, we'll meet the next one."
The old father completely disregarded his physical exhaustion and went along to meet the person in the afternoon.
This time, for his daughter's blind date, Shi Yucheng swore to oversee the whole process; he had to see with his own eyes that his daughter found lifelong happiness before he could rest easy!
Afternoon.
A quiet cafe not far from the Apartment.
This time, the other party's attitude was good; they arrived earlier than them.
Shi Youxuan went with her father, and the man's side was about the same, accompanied by his mother.
This man looked younger than the Jin Yinlu from the morning, only in his early twenties, tall and thin, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking scholarly and a bit shy.
But the accompanying mother looked shrewd and capable.
When the father and daughter reached the mother and son, the accompanying mother took a brief look at Shi Youxuan, and her face was immediately full of smiles.
"Shi Youxuan, Miss Shi, right? This girl is truly beautiful, much prettier than the person in the photo." The woman was very satisfied with Shi Youxuan.
The four of them sat facing each other; the woman was very talkative, and there was almost no awkward silence.
Furthermore, she spoke very pleasantly.
From the moment she sat down, she hadn't stopped praising Shi Youxuan for being beautiful and having proper manners!
One look and you could tell she was a good girl, far better than those women in society today who have high standards but low abilities; whoever could marry such a girl would be blessed...
Everyone likes to hear pleasant things, and Shi Yucheng was no exception.
With the young man's mother praising Shi Youxuan, his impression of this mother and son improved quite a bit!
But it was almost entirely the mother talking, with the young man only occasionally saying "Mm" or "Yes" to express his stance.
Shi Youxuan even thought he was Yaba.
The young man looked young-faced, but his actual age was two years older than Shi Youxuan.
However, his behavior was seriously inconsistent with his age; he was truly just like a Baobao, listening to his mother for everything, and needing his mother to help him do everything.
The waiter served the coffee, and the boy's mother very naturally put double portions of creamer and sugar into her son's cup.
After stirring it evenly with a small spoon, she placed it in front of her son, and then he picked it up with both hands to drink.
The mother was still eagerly exhorting him from the side: "Be careful it's hot, son, drink slowly, don't hold it with both hands, use your right hand to hold the handle and take small sips, blow on it first..."
Shi Youxuan was dumbfounded.
