Chapter 239 Arranging a Blind Date for Her
"Xiaowen!" Lu Qianqian was so excited when she saw Xie Xiaowen that she almost jumped up. "Long time no see! You've become more and more beautiful."
"Haha, you still have such a sweet tongue. Everyone, come and see! This is my classmate Lu Qianqian, Da Xue. She's a rich second-generation heiress. Isn't she beautiful, a goddess?" Xie Xiaowen introduced Lu Qianqian to her friends and pointed to the man next to her, saying, "This is my husband, Yin Tao."
"Hello." Lu Qianqian greeted Xie Xiaowen politely, and Xie Xiaowen led her to sit down and start chatting and catching up.
Xie Xiaowen asked, "Is Rong Wanru really dead? Is Zhang Shengqin really in jail?"
Lu Qianqian's heart skipped a beat, then she nodded and replied, "Yes, it was all over the news!"
"Sigh." Xie Xiaowen sighed, "Back when we were in school, I felt that there was something wrong between these two. I didn't expect it to actually cause such a big problem. But you also benefited from this misfortune. It was the right thing to leave Zhang Shengqin early."
Lu Qianqian lowered her head and said nothing. After all, it had been a long time since she was abandoned at the engagement banquet, and her heart had changed, so she really didn't feel anything now.
The only thing weighing on her heart was the death of Rong Wanru.
It has something to do with her, more or less.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Xiaowen assumed that she was still sad and upset, so she pretended to slap herself and said, "Pah, pah, pah, look what I said! These things are all in the past, why would I bring them up again!"
Lu Qianqian could only give an awkward smile.
Xie Xiaowen then affectionately pulled her hand and pointed to the man sitting opposite her, saying, "Look, isn't this young man handsome?"
Lu Qianqian looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"I'm introducing you to someone!" Xie Xiaowen suddenly exclaimed. "Come on, let me introduce you. This handsome young man is my husband's colleague, Tian Zhijie. He majored in finance, is thirty years old, and is from Qiongzhou. His parents are self-employed, selling seafood. Although his family can't compare to yours in real estate, he's honest and down-to-earth, so I wanted to introduce him to you!"
Lu Qianqian was stunned.
We were supposed to be having dinner, how did it turn into a blind date?
Tian Zhijie was also a little shy at this moment, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Qianqian. His hands seemed to have nowhere to go.
Meanwhile, the onlookers started to jeer.
"Tian Zhijie, hurry up and introduce yourself, the girl is watching you."
"She's a goddess! You'll never get another chance like this."
"Hey kid, if you're shy all the time, don't be shy now. You deserve to be single."
As if provoked by these remarks, Tian Zhijie suddenly looked up at Lu Qianqian and blurted out what was on his mind: "Hello, my name is Tian Zhijie. I've been working in the financial industry for seven years. My bank savings can cover the cost of a three-bedroom apartment in Qiongzhou. My family has already bought me a car, a Jeep Compass. If you don't like it, we can change it. My parents also have their own house and won't be living with us after the marriage. And my mother..."
"Wait..." Lu Qianqian finally came to her senses and understood what was going on. She turned around and looked at Xie Xiaowen in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me that you came here today..."
Is this a blind date for her?
“Yes, I was afraid you wouldn’t come if I told you. Now that you’re single, you should go on more blind dates. Giving others a chance is also giving yourself a chance. If you like someone, give it a try. If you don’t, you can still be friends.” Xie Xiaowen said with a smile, “We’re all friends, so relax.”
"No, I..." Lu Qianqian didn't want to go on a blind date at all. She already had someone in her heart, so she didn't want to go on a blind date. "Xiaowen, thank you, but I really don't want to be in a relationship right now."
"Huh?" Xie Xiaowen was stunned for a few seconds, then said, "You're not getting any younger, why aren't you going on blind dates yet? Look at me, I've already started preparing for pregnancy."
"Hehe, it will happen." Lu Qianqian didn't know how to explain.
Xie Xiaowen sighed: "Could it be that you still have feelings for Zhang Shengqin?"
"no……"
“Miss Lu!” Tian Zhijie suddenly spoke up, startling everyone around him. “It may be abrupt to say these words on our first meeting, but I still want to tell you that from the first moment I saw you, I made up my mind to pursue you. I also hope that you can give me a chance. I may not be as good as those rich young men, but I can absolutely guarantee that I will be devoted to you for the rest of my life.”
Lu Qianqian's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. Your casual promise of a lifetime is making people even less likely to believe it, isn't it?
Lu Qianqian shook her head and refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tian, I'm just here in Qiongzhou for tourism and don't plan to stay here for long, so there's no possibility between us!"
Tian Zhijie's face immediately turned ugly.
Xie Xiaowen hadn't expected things to escalate so much. Turning to Lu Qianqian beside her, she said, "Don't condemn him so harshly. Tian Zhijie is a really good person; otherwise, I wouldn't have introduced him to you. Besides, Tian Zhijie can go to the capital with you. With his education and abilities, he won't have trouble finding a job. He might even be able to help out at your father's company. Don't you have two daughters? Can you just stand by and watch your stepmother and sister take away your family's assets?"
"You're thinking a bit too far ahead." Lu Qianqian smiled awkwardly. She was well aware of these things and wouldn't let just any stranger help her. So she stood up, poured herself a glass of wine, and toasted Tian Zhijie, saying, "It's fate that we met today, Mr. Tian. A romantic relationship is impossible, but we can be friends!"
After saying that, she finished her drink in one gulp, which was considered polite.
Seeing this, Tian Zhijie had no choice but to pick up his wine glass, drink it down in one gulp, and say firmly, "But I will not give up, Miss Lu."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian felt an exceptionally bad headache.
Xie Xiaowen didn't know what to say. Her first attempt at matchmaking had failed so badly. "Alright, alright, everyone, stop standing there! Let's sing and drink!"
After saying that, he personally stood up to liven up the atmosphere.
Lu Qianqian wanted to go back. Apart from Xie Xiaowen, she didn't know anyone here, and this inexplicable blind date was making her very annoyed.
But unable to find an excuse to leave, he could only say, "I'm going to the restroom."
"There's a toilet in the private room..." Xie Xiaowen pointed to the private room.
Lu Qianqian replied, "Someone's already here."
"Okay, but you can't leave," Xie Xiaowen said deliberately, afraid that she would run away.
Lu Qianqian sighed: "I should definitely tell you before I leave. I just want to go out for some fresh air; the smell of smoke here is a bit strong."
"Um, okay." Hearing this, Xie Xiaowen said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing!" Lu Qianqian shook her head and walked out of the private room. However, the air in the corridor was also very stuffy, so she could only walk out, hoping to waste as much time as possible.
