Chapter 410 - Blind Date
Chapter 410 Blind Date
“Xixi, your boyfriend is so thoughtful and loves you. He knows you’re pregnant and even sent you so many maternal and infant products and bought so many branded bags for you. You’ve really fallen into the honey trap.”
“Yeah, it definitely isn’t cheap. Speaking of which, he is really rich, who is he?”
Some people who didn’t know the truth started to compliment her. Liu Xixi looked at the flowers and bags with joy.
“He’s just an ordinary person, and this Isn’t even the amount that he usually gives. The gifts from the past were much more valuable than this. I have so many pieces of jewelry that I can’t even wear them all. Now that he has sent so many roses and bags, I don’t know what to do.”
Liu Xixi smiled.
She then got someone to send the items to her dressing room. The attention was glorious.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the two families to meet.
Zou Guoxiang especially let his son starve for two days, hoping that his weight would go down quickly, so that the girl wouldn’t instantly object.
Zou Kun had been nagging about his wife for the past two days. No matter how hungry he was, he didn’t eat much. Although his weight hadn’t reached the right weight, he had lost quite a bit of weight[1]
“Son, let’s meet your wife today. When she agrees to marry you, you can eat anything.”
Zou Guoxiang comforted him.
Zou Kun nodded. His steps were ethereal and he felt like he was stepping on cotton. He was helped into the car by Aunt Liu.
Xu Yanshan had been dressing Lan Yaxin since the morning.
“My dear daughter, you must do well today. A fool is easier to fool than Mo Jinrong. When the time comes, you just have to suck up to the Zou Family. Don’t screw up and don’t mention Mo Jinrong again.”
Xu Yanshan was afraid that her daughter would become hot-headed and think about that man. She couldn’t afford to embarrass herself in front of him.
Lan Yaxin nodded, still thinking about Mo Jinrong.
Even if she married into the Zou Family, her heart wasn’t there.
For the sake of today’s meeting, Xu Yanshan had spent a large sum of money to buy an elegant outfit at a luxury store.
“Yanshan, are you really willing? It’s just a marriage, but you spent so much money on such a good dress.”
Zhao Xiumei looked at the layers of cloth and felt her heart ache.
“Mom, you don’t understand. You have to spend money to make money. The Zou Family may be foolish, but they have a lot of money. We are after their assets, not that fool. Who doesn’t want money?”
Xu Yanshan smiled as she arranged Lan Yaxin’s hair and applied especially mature makeup
“Look at my daughter, she’s so beautiful today.”
“Mom, I really don’t want to marry that fool.”
Lan Yaxin turned around in distress.
She was still in school, so how could she marry a fool? If her classmates found out, she would be a laughingstock.
“It’s already like this, what nonsense are you saying? We can’t even fill our stomachs, and the family relies on you. We raised you for nothing and you don’t even know how to contribute to the family. You’re just causing trouble. Now it’s the time for you to contribute.”
Xu Yanshan cursed.
“Mom…”
“Alright, let’s stop. It’s getting late, let’s hurry and get in the car. I’m afraid they are already waiting there. I said that we are just going to take a look and not necessarily to finalize marriage. If it doesn’t work, we will have to find another family. Will I push my daughter into a fiery pit?”
Xu Yanshan coaxed.
“In-law, why aren’t you waiting for us?”
Old Mrs. Mo came over with a smile.
Xu Yanshan turned and saw Old Mrs. Mo, her expression grim.
“What are you doing here? This is my daughter’s blind date, what has it got to do with you? I don’t usually see you guys being so attentive.”
“Look at what you’re saying, we’re in-laws after all. Yaxin is Anran’s sister and this marriage was arranged by Jinrong. Jinrong is out on a business trip and can’t come back, so I should be present, right?” Old Mrs. Mo smiled and said.
“Aunt, It’s better if we were present for Yaxin’s blind date. Otherwise, they will bully you because you are weak. We can defend you. Who would dare to bully the Mo Family’s relatives? Don’t you agree?” Lan Anran smiled and said.
“Let’s not talk so much. Hurry up and get in the car. It’s getting late, let’s not let anyone know we’re late.”
Old Mrs. Mo urged.
Lan Yaxin was forcefully dragged into the car. The meeting venue was in Rong City’s Autumn Museum.
The Zou Family brought their son to the Autumn Museum early in the morning and sat by the side drinking tea.
“Master, Rong City’s Autumn Museum is really good. It has a classical style. No wonder it is so famous in the outer city.”
Lin Yu smiled.
She just wanted to know which foolish daughter would marry her foolish stepson. Usually, the ones who came to marry were greedy for the Zou Family’s money, just like her.
“Don’t make a sound later, My son and me will be the ones talking. You’re here to support me, don’t think of yourself as a member of the Zou Family.”
Zou Guoxiang warned.
Lin Yu smiled awkwardly, nodding in silence.
Zou Guoxiang turned and looked at his silly son. He was so hungry that his eyes were dull. He sat at the side, looking paralyzed.
“Aunt Liu, hurry and help the child up. Doesn’t he look like he’s collapsed?”
Aunt Liu hurriedly pulled Zou Kun up, but he slumped over the table like a pile of soft mud and muttered to himself, “I want a wife, I want a wife.”
“Old Master, why don’t you give the child a few bites? Look at how hungry he is. To be honest, he hasn’t lost much weight. When the lady sees him, she will think that he is mentally challenged.”
Aunt Liu felt bad for the child. He hadn’t had a mother since he was a child and his IQ was extremely low. He was often bullied and didn’t have many friends. It was heartbreaking to see him so famished.
“We’re already here so why should he eat? Let’s eat when we’re back. What does he want to eat after the meeting? We’ll give him what he wants to eat. Our son, pull yourself together, your wife will be here soon.”
Zou Guoxiang smiled.
Zou Kun nodded and continued to lay on the table weakly.
Before long, Xu Yanshan brought them to the Autumn Museum.
She looked around and confirmed that there was a group of people sitting at the table and a fat man lying on the table next to theirs. He looked weak and seemed to be waiting for someone.
She pulled Lan Yaxin over and smiled.
“The Zou Family?”
Zou Guoxiang smiled.
“Are you Lan Yaxin? The blind date for my son?” “Mr. Zou, this is my sister, Yaxin. The Mo Family will not go back on our word,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Zou Guoxiang eyed Lan Anran and Lan Yaxin.
It was obvious that he liked Lan Anran more, but she was already married to Mo Jinrong, so he didn’t say anything more.
He turned to look at Lan Yaxin. Although she wasn’t as pretty as Lan Anran, she was still a beauty and most importantly, she was related to the Mo Family. This was extremely important.
[1] Not eating for two days doesn’t actually cause you to lose a lot of weight, water fasting (for religious purposes/health reasons) only shows weight loss around the 6-7 day mark. Do not starve yourself to lose weight, you’re more likely to gain more weight than before when you start eating again.
