Chapter 242: Chapter 332: Blind Date

Although there were some hiccups at the beginning, the banquet that followed was very enjoyable and smooth.

After all, it’s rare for Old Sir Zhong to make an appearance at a Su Family banquet, and amid much intentional flattery from everyone, laughter filled the air, presenting a scene of peace and harmony.

Following this banquet, within the elite circles of Beijing, Wan Chu’er became universally known.

After the birthday feast, around three in the afternoon, Wan Chu’er really didn’t enjoy being surrounded by people offering insincere flattery, nor was she inclined to flatter others, so she had Yan Hui escort her away.

Xiao Bai, having finally found such an opportunity, was not about to give it up easily and was getting along splendidly with a group of people.

Since Old Sir Zhong seldom comes out, he also wanted to chat with some old friends, so in the end, only Wan Chu’er and Yan Hui left together.

On the road, Yan Hui said, "The clothes you wore today are exquisite."

Unusually for her, Wan Chu’er felt a bit shy, receiving compliments from the refined and dashing Yan Hui.

Even though Yan Hui was praising the clothes, Wan Chu’er took it as a compliment to herself.

She responded with a smile, "It was from a tailor friend of Old Sir Zhong. That old tailor has quite a personality; one look at me, and he knew exactly what size I should wear."

Yan Hui chuckled, considerately adding, "Mostly, it’s because you have quality in yourself that brings out the charm of the clothes.

Some people, even in lavish clothes, are nothing but unqualified clothes hangers. Clothes should serve people, not the other way around."

Wan Chu’er laughed lightly, not keen to continue discussing this topic. She really wasn’t used to talking about her appearance with a handsome guy, unless that person was Jiang Kechu.

Speaking of Jiang Kechu, she remembered that it had been a few days since she’d seen him. Once she got home, she would send him a message.

Seeing Wan Chu’er lost in thought, Yan Hui did not speak further.

After arriving in the villa district, the two exchanged a few words and parted ways to return to their respective homes.

Once Wan Chu’er returned to her room, she changed into some loungewear and cheekily sent Jiang Kechu a text message.

"Jiang Kechu, come clean, what are you doing right now?"

In the grand hall of a luxurious hotel, Jiang Kechu, tall and upright, faced a kind and virtuous-looking lady.

Today, he was tricked by his mother into going on a blind date.

His mother and another matchmaker, Aunt Wu, had just left, and Jiang Kechu was organizing his thoughts, intending to tell his date that he already had a girlfriend, just that he hadn’t had the chance to inform his family yet.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw the message from Wan Chu’er.

A cold sweat broke out on Jiang Kechu’s forehead. Could it be that the girl had discovered he was on a blind date?

The next second, his eyes swept around the hotel, searching. After a look around, he did not find Wan Chu’er.

Jiang Kechu’s behavior puzzled the lady seated opposite him.

"Mr. Jiang, are you meeting someone else? If you are busy, please go ahead, I don’t mind."

Listen to how considerate and understanding she is.

Unfortunately, Jiang Kechu didn’t feel any of it; instead, he straightened his expression and said solemnly:

"I’m sorry, but actually, I already have someone I love, just that I haven’t had the opportunity to let my family know about her. I apologize for wasting your time."

The lady opposite didn’t expect to hear such a remark. She was actually quite satisfied with Jiang Kechu, thinking him tall and spirited, with a real man’s presence.

She thought there could have been a promising start, but then she heard this.

The kind and virtuous expression on her face suddenly froze.

Jiang Kechu nodded, apologizing again: "I am really sorry about this. My girlfriend needs me, so I must leave first."

Watching Jiang Kechu about to rise and leave, the lady finally reacted, got heated up, on impulse, she picked up the water in front of her and splashed it towards Jiang Kechu with force.

Because the incident was so sudden, Jiang Kechu dodged most of it, but his sleeve still got splashed with some water.

His expression unchanged, he looked at her calmly.

The lady stomped her foot forcefully and then turned to leave.

After the sound of her footsteps faded, Jiang Kechu shook his head and picked up his cell phone to call Wan Chu’er.

"Where are you?"

Wan Chu’er giggled, "Uncle Jiang, I’m in such a good mood today, if you’re free, take me for a ride."

Hearing the vibrant voice on the phone, Jiang Kechu couldn’t help but curve up the corners of his mouth and laughed, "I’m free, tell me your address."

Wan Chu’er gave Jiang Kechu the address of her new home, then hurried to find some clothes. Last time, Jiang Kechu bought her a pile of clothes, this time she could wear one for their date.

By the time Jiang Kechu arrived, Wan Chu’er had already dressed up beautifully and was waiting outside.

Seeing Jiang Kechu roll down the car window, Wan Chu’er asked with a smile, "Uncle Jiang, don’t you think I look pretty?"

Jiang Kechu played along, "This beautiful lady, may I have the honor to take you for a ride?"

Wan Chu’er giggled, having never expected Jiang Kechu to have such a side to him.

She thought to herself: In my last life, I really missed out, being so preoccupied with bickering with Jiang Kechu, I didn’t enjoy his attentiveness.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Wan Chu’er frown, Jiang Kechu asked with concern.

Wan Chu’er snapped back to reality and said with a radiant smile, "Let’s go, let’s take that ride." Then she opened the car door and got inside.

Seeing her happy, Jiang Kechu couldn’t help but ask, "Did something good happen today?"

That was exactly what she had been waiting for him to ask!

Wan Chu’er eagerly told Jiang Kechu about her day at the Su Family. She liked to share her feelings of joy and anger with Jiang Kechu.

"Today I finally got some retribution; the feeling of wielding power to bully is just too good."

Her animated appearance made Jiang Kechu unable to resist ruffling her hair.

"Where do you want to go?"

Wan Chu’er propped her cheek and thought, then said, "You decide."

So Jiang Kechu took her to the mountains in the suburbs for a spin. It was the time of year when the autumn weather was crisp and the sun felt warm on the skin.

After the ride, the two of them went to watch a movie.

Lastly, it was a romantic candlelit dinner.

Wan Chu’er sipped a little red wine, her cheeks flushed with delight, "Uncle Jiang, what were you doing before you picked me up today?"

Jiang Kechu paused, then said indifferently, "I went on a blind date."

What?

Wan Chu’er thought she had heard wrong, her eyes wide open as she looked at Jiang Kechu, "Uncle Jiang, I didn’t hear you clearly."

Jiang Kechu: "When you texted me, I was on a blind date."

Wan Chu’er was suddenly furious, picking up the knife and fork from the table and pointing them at Jiang Kechu.

"Jiang Kechu, you better confess, is there some kind of scheme?"

She couldn’t believe he went on a blind date behind her back, not only that, but he also brazenly told her.

At this moment, Wan Chu’er deeply felt that Xiao Bai was right, Jiang Kechu was a scheming old man, definitely up to something.
