Chapter 98: Going on a Blind Date for the Sister-in-law
"That's fine, make it clear to her; from now on, Qianqian will live with me and won't be going home," Ye Xinyu said angrily.
"Alright, let's go." Chen Yu smiled and took Ye Qian out the door.
"Brother-in-law, where are we going? To my place, or to the place for the blind date? My mom already set a place and gave me an ultimatum," Ye Qian said, wiping away a tear.
"To the place we agreed on. Don't worry, leave this to me; I'll handle it for you," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.
The two drove the car out of the garage, and Ye Qian, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked with a curious look, "Brother-in-law, let me ask you something."
"What is it?" Chen Yu asked.
"My sister is pregnant, and you're holding back every day—isn't it uncomfortable?" Ye Qian giggled and changed the position of her legs, looking somewhat alluring.
"You..." Chen Yu's breath hitched. Ye Xinyu was beautiful, and Ye Qian was naturally no less so. Who was she putting on this alluring act for?
"Tell me, I'm curious." Seeing Chen Yu's embarrassed look, Ye Qian became even more curious.
"What would a child like you understand?" Chen Yu withdrew his gaze and focused on driving.
"Prude," Ye Qian said huffily. "You only have eyes for my sister."
"Isn't that a good thing? I'm devoted to your sister." Chen Yu was left speechless; what was Ye Qian getting at?
Ye Qian snorted, glared fiercely at Chen Yu, and stopped talking. Chen Yu drove all the way to the blind date location.
It was a coffee shop. Chen Yu found a table and sat down. Ye Qian looked left and right, and when she saw the person sitting at the designated spot, her expression changed.
A man who was not yet forty but looked forty-eight was Ye Qian's blind date.
Although this guy was wearing designer brands, his bald head and a week's worth of stubble made him look somewhat slovenly, and the small eyes beneath his black-rimmed glasses had a lecherous feel.
"Brother-in-law, I don't want to go." As soon as Ye Qian saw the man's greasy appearance, she immediately wanted to back out.
"Go on. I'll be watching from the side; if it really doesn't work out, just send me a message," Chen Yu said with a smile.
Ye Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward: "H-hello, I'm Ye Qian."
"Hello, Miss Ye. I am Wang Yu. Your aunt should have introduced my situation to you, right? I am an executive at a listed company, I hold a large portion of the company's shares, and I also do some side investments. My current annual net income is around five million."
The man's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Qian, and he stepped forward to introduce himself.
"Oh, I see," Ye Qian said perfunctorily.
"In addition, I have two properties in the East District—one fully paid for, one with a mortgage—and a townhouse. The total value is nearly twenty million." Wang Yu's eyes could barely move away from Ye Qian. He stared straight at her and continued his self-introduction.
"I have a Porsche as a commuter car, and I have connections with people from all walks of life. Please be completely at ease regarding my network," Wang Yu said. "Miss Ye, where are you employed? What is your current annual income?"
"I... I am currently unemployed. Mr. Wang, your conditions are too good; I don't think I'm a match," Ye Qian said with a forced smile.
"Oh, unemployed? No problem. In that case, we can get married sooner and then have children. After you give birth, you can focus entirely on taking care of the child. Plus, I can bring my parents over, and you can take care of them at the same time."
"My dad is getting old and has a bit of dementia, so you'll need to pay more attention to him. Also, my mom had surgery years ago; she's in a wheelchair now and has some incontinence. After we marry, I won't need to hire anyone to take care of them," Wang Yu said excitedly.
Ye Qian was shocked, and Chen Yu, who was drinking tea nearby, was also shocked. He looked up, feeling depressed, and took a look at such a bizarre person.
But Wang Yu didn't notice Ye Qian's pale face at all; he was still immersed in planning his future: "After we get married, we definitely have to have a son to carry on the family line for the Wang family. By the way, if you have any spare time while taking care of the elderly and the child, you can find a part-time job. Although I earn plenty, a woman still needs to rely on herself."
"Enough." Ye Qian really couldn't take it anymore: "We haven't reached that point yet. Now I can officially tell you: we are not a match."
She had truly never met such a bizarre person. No wonder he had been single all this time; it turned out he wasn't looking for a wife, but a nanny—and a free one at that?
"Not a match? Do you think the gap between you and me is too wide? It doesn't matter, I don't mind," Wang Yu said with a magnanimous wave of his hand.
"It's not that I think the gap is too wide, it's that a person like you deserves to be unable to find a girlfriend." Ye Qian was truly furious. No wonder he was still single with such a high income; it turned out this guy was just a freak. It would be a miracle if he could find a wife.
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Yu's face darkened.
"Even if I stay single for the rest of my life, I won't have anything to do with someone like you. You don't need to waste any more effort planning a future between us; it's simply impossible. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. Goodbye." Ye Qian stood up to leave.
"You're just leaving like this?" Wang Yu was angry.
"What else do you want?" Ye Qian turned her head.
"You need to go Dutch with me for the coffee we just ordered," Wang Yu said with an angry look. "Women these days really have no sense of propriety."
"I have an annual income of five million, and you're just an unemployed drifter. How am I not good enough for you? What right do you have to look down on me?"
"Fine, fine, I'll go Dutch with you." Ye Qian was absolutely livid. She threw out a one-hundred-yuan bill.
"Not enough." Wang Yu grabbed the money and pocketed it.
"This cup of coffee is at most twenty-something yuan, how is that not enough?" Ye Qian asked.
"You need to compensate me for my mental distress. I was very serious about you and gave you my sincere heart, but you actually hurt me." Wang Yu put on a heartbroken look. "Besides, the time I wasted coming here is enough for me to earn a lot of money. The bouquet of flowers I bought for you also cost money; you have to compensate me for all of it."
"You are truly the most bizarre person I have ever met in my life." Ye Qian was stunned; she didn't know how to express her feelings.
"Let's go, don't pay him any mind." Chen Yu finally couldn't watch anymore. He stood up, walked to Ye Qian's side, grabbed her, and prepared to leave.
"Stop right there! Who are you? Let go of your hand! What right do you have to hold my girlfriend?" Wang Yu roared.
"Who is your girlfriend?" Ye Qian shrieked. She really couldn't tolerate this guy any longer.
"Just because you went on a blind date with her, she's your girlfriend? Why don't you fly to the moon?" Chen Yu frowned, suppressing the urge to slap the guy across the face.
"Who are you to her?" Wang Yu's eyes were spitting fire. Ye Qian was the most beautiful and elegant woman in his blind-dating history. Subconsciously, he already intended to marry her, but now that someone was holding her hand, his anger could be imagined.
"What do you think?" Ye Qian took the opportunity to link her arm with Chen Yu's, looking intimate.
