Chapter 49 – “… Perfect, my son is thirteen too.” (1)
Starting from the moment that Lin Yiyi and her children had returned home, to the exchange of greetings between the reunited family members, and up to the moment that Lin Ping had taken out a photo and said she was setting her up on a blind date, all of this had happened in under half an hour…
Honestly, most people wouldn’t be able to calmly withstand Lin Ping’s strong personality.
Lin Yiyi blanky took the photo from Lin Ping in lieu of speaking. She hadn’t figured out what to say in response.
At this moment, she really admired her stepfather.
His courage must be very formidable in order for him to fall in love with the formidable Lin Ping.
To have been able to get along and live with Lin Ping for the past few decades…
She gave her stepfather a sympathetic glance.
“No matter what, you should at least go see this guy. It’s not like I’m asking you to immediately get married to him. If you two aren’t compatible… it’s no big deal. Just keep going on blind dates.”
Speaking as if the matter was already set in stone and she didn’t need the consent of the two parties involved, Lin Ping said, “Anyways, the other party is very high-quality. He’s an earnest and decent person that came back here after studying abroad. He’s definitely superior to that lowly actor.”
Saying that the film emperor was a lowly actor. This woman was truly…
Lin Yiyi was left speechless.
Gu Chengyi good-naturedly waited for his wife to finish saying all of the good and bad things she wanted to say and listened to her unreasonable views. He did agree with some of her words.
Pushing his glasses up, he said to Lin Yiyi, “Your mom is right about one thing. It’s just meeting someone. Even if the blind date doesn’t work out, at worst, you’ll have gained a new friend.”
Mr. Gu pointed at the photo and said to her, “This is my old friend’s son. He’s called Lu Wenchuan. He’s the CEO of a multinational company. He’s also in his thirties, and his family is worried about him remaining single too. The matchmaking idea clicked with your mom.”
Lin Ping proudly looked at her husband. He finally said something helpful!
Lin Yiyi took the photo he was pointing at and immediately had a complicated thought that couldn’t be expressed in a few words.
“Which one is Mr. Lu?”
Sh*t, she would be full of respect for her stepdad if he could pinpoint which face was Lu Wenchuan’s in the photo. This was a college graduation photo, and the faces of each graduate was only a little bit bigger than an ant!
Gu Chengyi was a bit embarrassed. “That… There’s nothing we can do about that. My friend’s son doesn’t like taking photos even when he was a kid. We couldn’t use a photo of him when he was a kid to show you.”
So your friend used this group photo to fool you and mom?
Lin Yiyi already had swirls in her eyes.
She didn’t have any experience with blind dates and what not in her past life.
She only had a few relatives, and she had become an orphan at a young age.
Speaking of this, she was envious that other people had relatives that would worry about whether or not they were married!
Although, even if their relatives’ kind intentions were sweet, it was still a burden to those people.
As for the original owner, her heart was devoted to her ex-husband, and her mom wouldn’t be able to persuade her to change her mind with only a few words.
This was why Lin Ping was being so forceful with her matchmaking idea.
She was planning on stunning her daughter and pushing her to go on a blind date with her imposing manner…
Once her daughter saw that there were outstanding men out there, she would realize that it didn’t matter that her actor ex-husband had left her. There were plenty of other men waiting out there. Her daughter had plenty of choices to choose from!
“You’re still young. You’re only 33. Your life has only just started. You have good looks and a good family background. With your stepdad’s support, even a crown prince wouldn’t be too high for you.”
Lin Ping was very confident about her daughter. “Your stepdad’s friend is very satisfied with your conditions. He hopes that his son will be able to find a beautiful woman to marry and have cute children with her. Neither of you have your parents by your side. If you’re with him, you’ll both have someone depend on…”
As Lin Yiyi listened, she suddenly felt there was something wrong about these words…
