Chapter 821: Blind Date (5)

Translator: Lordbluefire

After sharing a meal, watching a movie, and going through some awkward moments together, it was evident that they had become closer. However, Chu Qianshu had her own thoughts and didn’t want to reveal her feelings before completely confirming their relationship.

Chu Qianshu smiled faintly, “Perhaps 1’11 tell you next time.”

They went their separate ways afterward and headed home.

With a smile on her face, Chu Qianshu held Chu Xiaomeng’s hand as they entered their home. To her surprise, a middle-aged couple hurried over to her. It was the third family of the Chu household, her parents.

“Qianshu, you’re coming back so late. Have you set your sights on someone?”

Chu Qianshu pursed her lips, “No.”

“Then what is it?” Mother Chu asked, continuing, “If you’re not interested in anyone, why did you come back so late? You might give the wrong impression…”

Chu Qianshu spoke up, “1 didn’t even meet him today!”

Her parents’ expressions changed upon hearing this. They thought they were being played by the other party. Just as they were about to call and question, the matchmaker from both families called, “The Zeng family’s people said your Miss Chu didn’t show up today.”

Both Father and Mother Chu were taken aback and turned to Chu Qianshu.

Chu Qianshu,”?”

After some consideration, she suddenly realized that there were quite a few people attending the blind date today. Some were single and hadn’t been approached yet. Could it be that the person she was supposed to meet was among them?

She stuck her tongue out and explained, “So 1 didn’t see him. 1 guess we’re not destined. Let’s just forget about this blind date.”

Chu Qianshu’s parents were already satisfied that their daughter had gone out today. Both were believers in fate and didn’t press the matter further. After clarifying the misunderstanding, they concluded that there was no connection between their children and the matter was dropped.

Chu Qianshu’s parents were relatively reasonable. Besides, they had no intention of forcing their daughter. Thus, the issue passed rather smoothly.

Meanwhile, at the Zeng residence, Zeng Keyi was facing a storm from his parents.

“What? You’ve taken a liking to a girl and plan to marry her?” Father Zeng fumed, “Dating is acceptable, but marriage is out of the question!”

Zeng Keyi couldn’t comprehend, “Why not?”

“Marriage involves two families. It’s not something you can decide impulsively. The business sector of the Zeng family will undergo changes in the future, and your marriage will be our best channel!” Father Zeng continued.

Zeng Keyi scoffed in anger, “So, you’re planning to sell me? First the Chu family, who’s next? Are you planning to sell me off to another family?!” “Good-for-nothing!” Father Zeng cursed in anger, raising a ruler in his hand and striking Zeng’s back, “How dare you spout nonsense! Do you know why there’s a saying about having families of equal status?”

Not only was Zeng Keyi hit, but he was also confined to his room. Father Zeng issued an order that he wasn’t allowed to leave the house!

Zeng Keyi was furious, but in this household, he had no power. Yet, he refused to be powerless and angry, so he came up with a plan to go on a hunger strike.

Being the only son, his parents wouldn’t let him starve to death.

This tactic worked.

On the evening of the second day, Mother Zeng, couldn’t bear it any longer and pushed open his door. She held a bowl of meat porridge and placed it in front of Zeng Keyi, “Son, you’re grown up now. There are some things we need to talk about.”

Zeng Keyi hadn’t eaten anything since the previous night, and he had gone a full 24 hours without food. His mouth was dry, but he stubbornly refused to eat, “Talk about what? 1 was raised by you, but 1 still have the right to choose who 1 like.”

“Of course, you have the right,” Mother Zeng sighed, “Regarding the Chu family’s marriage, when you didn’t show interest in their daughter, didn’t we stop pushing you? But the right you’re exercising has its limits.”

Zeng Keyi sneered, “Does it have to be someone of equal status?”

Shaking her head, Mother Zeng continued, “Do you know why the concept of equal status has existed throughout history?”

Zeng Keyi remained silent.

Mother Zeng explained, “In today’s society, the term ‘phoenix man’ carries a negative connotation. Do you know why? Because after marrying a phoenix man, they often become imbalanced. When a wife’s family is better off and her status higher, their upbringing and experiences differ. It’s fine when everything is rosy, but as love transitions into daily life, won’t conflicts arise? A wife wants to drink freshly squeezed juice, which might involve wasting seven or eight oranges. In our family, that’s normal, but to someone from a less affluent background, wouldn’t that be seen as wasteful?”

“Marriage involves two people and two families. You like that girl named Qianshu.. Have you considered what would happen if you married her? Can she adapt to our way of life?”
