Chapter 783 The blind date is a hearing-impaired patient 1
"Yaoyao, let me tell you, this boy today is really good. Your aunt has been talking to you for a long time before introducing you to this boy. She wants you to meet and have dinner with this boy first. You better behave yourself, okay?"
Lingyao held up the phone and listened to the original owner's mother's instructions, her heart as calm as water.
"Okay, okay." She must perform better, first breaking a stone with her chest, then twisting chopsticks with her bare hands, which will definitely "amaze" the other party.
The person on the other end of the phone was surprised at his daughter's cooperation today, but he just thought she had figured it out.
Her mood also became cheerful, and she said the last sentence, "After dinner, I still have time to go shopping and watch a movie with the boys..." and then hung up the phone.
Lingyao hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally finished.
The original owner was named Zhao Lingyao, 24 years old this year, an ordinary white-collar worker who worked in a medium-sized company and earned a few thousand yuan a day.
I'm not rich but I can still afford to eat, just enough to get by.
The person who just called was the original owner's mother, Sun Qing.
Sun Qing was not in good health and she almost had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Zhao Lingyao, so Zhao Lingyao was the only child in the family.
As an only child, she naturally receives the most attention from her parents.
As an only child, Zhao Zhongxiang and Sun Qing doted on Zhao Lingyao extremely and had been very strict about her love life since she was a child.
So until she graduated from college and started working, Zhao Lingyao had never been in a relationship except for two vague unrequited loves.
Until the last two years, perhaps because I saw the children of my colleagues around me getting married and having children, they seemed to be living in harmony and happiness, at least on the surface.
Sun Qing, who had always opposed Zhao Lingyao's love affair, suddenly changed his mind. Like a water pipe that suddenly burst, the water gushing out could not be stopped at all.
She began to look for various suitable men for Zhao Lingyao.
Zhao Lingyao was also forced to embark on the road of blind dating from which there was no return.
At the beginning, Zhao Lingyao was not too resistant to blind dates, at least not as resistant as she is now. But after several blind dates, Zhao Lingyao became more and more afraid of marriage.
When Zhao Lingyao thought about having to live with such a weird-looking man, who always boasted about his education, salary, and family background, and who asked Zhao Lingyao to give birth to a child without saying a word, and wanted both a son and a daughter, her defenses collapsed.
Later, Zhao Lingyao became more and more resistant to blind dates, and the mother and daughter had several quarrels over this matter, but each time naturally ended with Zhao Lingyao's compromise.
……
The blind date took place in a buffet restaurant. It was said that the man couldn’t clearly express the woman’s preferences so they chose a buffet restaurant and let her take whatever she liked.
Lingyao scanned the crowd and found nothing.
Finally, she had no choice but to look up the photo of her face that Sun Qing had sent her, which looked completely "indistinguishable from the crowd", and glanced at the crowd before she saw the person.
The man seemed to have seen her as well and was waving at her from his seat, smiling shyly.
To be honest, the man is not handsome, but not ugly either. He has normal looks and is of medium height. He is the type who can blend in perfectly in a crowd.
Lingyao walked over and the man stood up to greet her.
His eyes, which were not big to begin with, narrowed into a slit.
"Hello, Miss Zhao. I am Zhang Zhihe, introduced by Aunt Zhao."
Lingyao nodded as a response: "Hello."
Then they both sat down.
After sitting down, Lingyao discovered that the not-so-big dining table was already filled with various dishes.
Barbecue, steak, seafood...everything is available.
"Auntie said you would be late, so I brought all the good food here in advance, in case it's gone. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
Lingyao was speechless. She put her bag aside and sat down, not planning to waste any more time.
"I'm sorry, we're not a good match."
Zhang Zhihe was originally smiling, but after hearing this, he couldn't smile anymore.
He had a good first impression of Lingyao. Although she was a little cold, her face was even prettier than in the photo.
For blind dates, most of the photos provided are retouched, so the person in question is usually not as good-looking as he or she really is.
But the girl in front of me is an exception.
Her skin was very white, like white jade, and her legs, exposed by her skirt, were slender and white.
Although her facial features are not the bright and attractive type, they are very pure and natural. With long flowing hair, she looks like a campus goddess in college in this white dress.
So Zhang Zhihe still wanted to fight for it.
"Ms. Zhao, you may not be very clear about my situation. Aunt Zhao may not have made it clear to you. My father runs a small business with a monthly income of several hundred thousand yuan, and my mother is a doctor in a hospital. I am currently working in a Chinese enterprise with a monthly income of five figures... Since you are here for dinner today, I won't beat around the bush. If we get married, my parents will give us a down payment for our new house..."
Both parties must have known about these situations before the blind date. Zhang Zhihe brought them up now just to... emphasize the gap between them.
After all, Zhao Lingyao's conditions are indeed far inferior to Zhang Zhihe's.
The original owner's parents were only middle school teachers. Although they were in the system, which sounded good, their salaries were actually not that high, and their family only had one apartment that they had lived in for more than ten years.
Also, after the original owner graduated, in order to make it easier for her to go to work, the old couple bought her a small studio near her company. It was not paid in full, and she still had to pay a mortgage of 800 yuan every month, but it was still much better than working out of town.
After Zhang Zhihe finished speaking, he pushed the lenses of his glasses on his broad nose and said with a smile.
"Miss Zhao, since you are here and have ordered all this, you have to finish it so it doesn't go to waste."
Lingyao's mouth twitched slightly, and just as she was about to say something, a text message popped up on her phone.
From the note "Mom"
[You are not allowed to run away without finishing your meal this time. Your aunt said that Xiao Zhang is a hot commodity, so you must seize the opportunity. If you run away again, I will move in with you tomorrow. I will see if you dare to go to that little house every day!]
Lingyao was speechless and choked up, eating two skewers of barbecue with tears in her eyes.
During the meal, Zhang Zhihe kept talking from time to time.
"I heard from Auntie that you have never been in a relationship? There are not many girls as innocent as you nowadays."
"You are the perfect age to get married, and you will recover quickly after having a baby. A few days ago, someone introduced me to a girl who is already 28 years old! She said her family runs a 4S shop, but I didn't think she was suitable, so I turned her down..."
Lingyao bit the corn: "Hmm."
Perhaps because Lingyao didn't say anything to refute, the other party thought that Lingyao's "hmm" meant that she agreed with him, and he spoke even more excitedly.
"Right, it's harder for women to find a partner when they get older, unlike men who are more popular when they are older and have more experience... My mom told me to find someone four or five years younger than me, and seven or eight years younger is no problem..."
The original owner was exactly five years younger than Zhang Zhihe.
Lingyao bit the spareribs: "Uh huh."
