Chapter 697: Chapter 696 Matchmaking Sabotaged_1

Speaking of Cai Sainan, she is said to be one of the few friends of Chou Xinya, but this was only what Chou Xinya thought of herself. Cai Sainan never considered Chou Xinya a true friend, she treated her like a dispensable companion.

Chou Xinya was quite attractive, however, because she was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, she hardly had any money. The money she earned from part-time jobs was all spent on tuition and meals. She simply couldn’t afford to buy lots of pretty clothes to dress herself up like other girls.

Therefore, Chou Xinya, always clad in old clothes, was ostracized by the other girls in class. It was during this time of being shunned that Cai Sainan appeared and told Chou Xinya that she wanted to be friends with her.

It was precisely because of what Cai Sainan said back then that Chou Xinya, over the years, chose to forgive her no matter what she did to her. And it was this attitude that led Cai Sainan to become increasingly presumptuous.

In the past, under the guise of looking out for Chou Xinya’s best interests, Cai Sainan introduced several men to her. However, none of them were decent, let alone normal. Some were old enough to be Chou Xinya’s father, which Cai Sainan justified by saying that older men know how to cherish their wives. Yet when she said this, she never thought about the fact that she always dated men younger than herself, clearly contradicting her own words.

Besides the older ones, there were those who were so unsightly that they made people feel embarrassed just by looking at them. As a result, Chou Xinya didn’t fancy any of the men Cai Sainan introduced. Because of this issue, Chou Xinya was scolded by Cai Sainan for being too picky, telling her to take a good look at herself and saying that for those men with such backgrounds to show interest in her was as if Chou Xinya had accumulated good fortune over several lifetimes.

This time, when Cai Sainan heard Chou Xinya mention she had a blind date today—and this wasn’t someone she had introduced—she became interested. She thought to herself, "I want to see what kind of ’goods’ he is, considering you’ve always been so picky and didn’t approve of anyone I introduced. Let’s see what this person someone else has set you up with is like." In Cai Sainan’s mind, the only appropriate matches for someone with Chou Xinya’s status were either those old men or the unsightly ones. As for rich bachelors or prince charmings, they were completely out of Chou Xinya’s league.

Cai Sainan, with the eagerness of a spectator watching a spectacle, pestered Chou Xinya so relentlessly that she managed to come along.

However, Cai Sainan never expected that Chou Xinya, who in her opinion was only suited for those lesser men, had a blind date with someone who was so handsome. He was even more handsome than any of the men she had dated before. Not just handsome, but from Cai Sainan’s years of experience in judging people, this man was definitely not ordinary in terms of wealth; he was surely a top-tier eligible bachelor.

Instantly, Cai Sainan felt an imbalance in her heart—not just an imbalance, but a raging jealousy. Why couldn’t she have Chou Xinya’s luck? Why couldn’t she encounter such handsome, distinguished men in her own blind dates? That was why she had just made such a scene.

She had accurately grasped Chou Xinya’s temperament, knowing that Chou Xinya wouldn’t say a word even if she snatched her seat. And Chou Xinya, as she had anticipated, didn’t show any temper. However, she failed to consider the beautiful girl present who made her green with envy.

This girl, the source of her envy, had embarrassed her and eventually forced her to swap seats back with Chou Xinya.

At that moment, Cai Sainan was fuming with rage, itching to claw at Situ Xin, the person who had prevented her from achieving her goal. But, she had the malevolence but not the nerve and could only glare fiercely at Situ Xin without daring to confront her directly. Cai Sainan was the typical kind who bullied the weak but feared the strong.

Situ Xin didn’t care about Cai Sainan’s current thoughts; she was here to assist Xia Yujie with his blind date. All others, irrelevant to her, didn’t even enter her field of vision. Xia Yujie was inherently a reserved person, only showing some liveliness when facing Situ Xin and Liu Yuxiang. He was usually aloof; thus, Cai Sainan didn’t leave the slightest impression on him.

"You’re Chou Xinya, right?" Situ Xin watched Chou Xinya, who had just sat back in her original seat, without blinking. She had seen Chou Xinya pull Cai Sainan out of the seat, and although such physical ability didn’t impress Situ Xin at all, common sense told her that Chou Xinya was genuinely skilled. From what Situ Xin had observed, if Xia Yujie took a liking to Chou Xinya, with just a bit of coaching, Chou Xinya could at least ensure she wouldn’t become a burden to Xia Yujie.
