Chapter 322: Chapter 216: Absurd Matchmaking Situation, “Pei Fatso”_2
“`
“It’s been three minutes since I’ve heard the waiter’s story; my reflection addiction is kicking in, satisfy quickly.”
“Can’t take it anymore. Can you stop praising and play so sensible rock? I beg you, all you cloud rockers, seriously hype things up but stop claiming it’s the top rock.”
“Pure stupid dog, looking so damn cheap.”
Xu Qingyan refreshed the page, and those three comnts suddenly disappeared. They were probably spotted and deleted by another admin, but they still hinted at sothing.
The ad campaign had indeed taken effect, at least it had provoked so people’s disgust.
In the super-topic forum, most comnts were mindless flattery, with even more insane fangirls declaring that Ji Chen brother ranks ahead of their biological dads and matchmaking moms.
Whether they were just caught up in the mont was not certain.
Xu Qingyan looked around and was quite satisfied with the current situation of the ad campaign. He wanted to do sothing, but felt it wasn’t quite the ti yet, so he refrained from making any moves.
Noon.
Pei Muchan leisurely got up at 12:15, glanced at her phone, and then made herself a cup of coffee.
She clearly didn’t want to be punctual for the lunch, a fact which Xu Qingyan understood all too well. He didn’t bother asking, leaning back in his chair, he lazily started a mobile ga.
At 12:30, Pei Muchan took the initiative to sit next to Xu Qingyan, watching him play his ga, still unhurried and not showing any signs of urgency.
Xu Qingyan glanced at her. Drinking a cup of coffee before leaving, she was preparing to have an excuse to visit the restroom midway. Eating less after drinking coffee ant she planned to stay for a short while and then leave.
It indeed seed like just going through the motions, she wasn’t lying about that.
After the ga ended, Xu Qingyan looked up at her, inevitably curious, he asked.
“What kind of lunch is it?”
“My father’s comrade’s son, said he wanted to et. Just a formality, will leave after a short while,” Pei Muchan lowered her eyes, stealing a glance at him.
“A blind date?” Xu Qingyan was sowhat confused.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Pei Muchan’s eyes; she worried he might get angry. After all… not too long ago, the two of them had… Now, suddenly she was taking him along for a blind date.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival at ho, she had made her stance very clear.
Her career was finally looking up, she wouldn’t consider anything else before she turned thirty. She just wanted to focus on work, and moreover, she could find soone on her own.
Pei’s father, who had transitioned from the military to civilian life twenty years ago as a company commander, was a deputy departnt-level official. After working as a civil servant for over a decade, he utterly detested the entertainnt industry.
He’d always call them ‘actors’, n who weren’t masculine and won who weren’t feminine. Not only was he strict with his daughter, but he also emphasized repeatedly: marry a male celebrity, and you’re never to co back ho.
Seeing his daughter at twenty-six still indifferent, he finally started to panic.
When Pei Muchan declared she’d not marry before thirty, her father nearly passed out from anger on the spot. He threw a two-day fit, insisting that she go on blind dates.
Pei Muchan refused, and in a mont of desperation, blurted out “I have a boyfriend.” She was t with her father’s mocking laughter and a proud, confident figure walking away.
She thought she would be free once back in Xinghai, but last night Pei’s father called formally. He instructed Comrade Pei Muchan to complete the task assigned by the organization.
“If you’re eting a friend, won’t it be bad to bring along a high-quality male like ?” Xu Qingyan said self-assuredly, “Should I change into uglier clothes?”
“No need, they will bring soone too.” Pei Muchan sighed with relief and said, “I don’t want to go alone. I can just say we knew each other before and haven’t been in touch for many years.”
During the drive, Pei Muchan leaned on the passenger side and closed her eyes to sleep. At so point, she opened her eyes, stared blankly at the traffic ahead, and suddenly spoke.
“I never thought about going on a blind date; this ti it’s because I know them, it would be troubleso to refuse.”
“Hmm.” Xu Qingyan drove, appearing sowhat nonchalant.
She wasn’t sure if he had really listened to what she just said, and her mood started to irritate her. Marriage… she simply wasn’t ready for it.
Her life was a ss right now, with her career and emotions all tangled up; the thought of marriage was just too far away.
If it wasn’t for Lin Wanzhou, her childhood friend-turned-rival, maybe things wouldn’t be so complicated. But the other person was also a little queen and her old rival, really a narrow road for enemies.
They fought over everything, fa, titles, and now neither seed able to fight anymore.
“`
As she pondered, Pei Muchan couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. From the very beginning, her motives were impure, desiring only to secretly take revenge on Lin Wanzhou.
Yet, unforeseen and by mistake, she seed to have stolen sothing that originally belonged to soone else. So much so that now, every ti she saw Lin Wanzhou, she felt a sense of guilt.
But even so, she still didn’t want to give it back.
The car arrived at its destination.
Upon entering the restaurant, a host escorted the pair to a private room.
Pushing the door open, they saw three people sitting inside, two n and one woman. One of the n wore half-fra glasses and was dressed appropriately, clearly a bureaucrat.
Probably the diator, the other man had a sowhat brash appearance, not particularly handso. There was a mischievous air about his eyebrows as he looked up at people.
Xu Qingyan truly feared he might blurt out, “Damn bumpkin, ca to Xinghai to beg?” Thus, she turned her gaze to the only woman among them, quite attractive.
Curly hair, a V-shaped face, black stockings, short skirt, long legs, a bit of an internet celebrity look.
Soone who spent all day with two little divas had their aesthetic standards raised by leaps and bounds, and felt no interest in this kind of internet fa.
Her gaze swept past, returning to the disdainful young master.
Bowing her head, she pondered for a second, and couldn’t help but feel amused. This al seed interesting, not so much a eting as a declaration of one’s stance.
“You must be Uncle Pei’s daughter, right? Please, take a seat, sit down,” the diator bustled about, adjusting his glasses, standing up to pour tea, “And who is this?”
“Male BFF,” Xu Qingyan responded, without waiting for an introduction, directly taking a seat next to Pei Muchan.
The atmosphere suddenly beca awkward, and the diator paused while pouring tea, glancing over at Pei Muchan. The latter didn’t explain and simply took out her phone.
At the dining table, the man accompanying the internet celebrity seed displeased and spoke bluntly.
“What do you an by that?”
Xu Qingyan thought to herself that the world really was absurd. Wasn’t it said online that the second generation should be humble, courteous, understand the rules, and be stronger and more diligent than most?
What happened to the supposed good upbringing, and where did this knucklehead co from?
Xu Qingyan smiled, “I’m also a partner, the honorary partner of Chanming Studio.”
“Oh, a partner,” the diator sat down, about to say sothing when Pei Muchan spoke first.
She sat down, looking across the table at the other man for a while, her arms folded and brow furrowed.
“Huang Kefan, is she your dad’s illegitimate daughter?”
That sentence caught young master Huang completely off guard, and he stood up abruptly.
“Pei Muchan, what do you an by that?”
“The big question, eh?” Pei Muchan’s face showed disgust as she spoke with her arms folded, “Always asking others what they an, don’t you understand what I an?”
Watching from the side, Xu Qingyan couldn’t help but go ‘Oh’ internally, realizing they were acquainted. It was the first ti he had seen Pei Muchan confront soone, and he took a strategic sip of tea to calm his nerves.
“Pei Fatty, do you think I wanted to co?” Huang Kefan pointed at her, “If it weren’t for my mom forcing , I wouldn’t bother coming for a blind date with you.”
“Just thinking about it makes want to throw up my dinner from last night!”
Pfft!!
Upon hearing “Pei Fatty,” Xu Qingyan couldn’t hold it in and sprayed his tea out, coughing uncontrollably, drawing a distant gaze.
The diator, with a face full of embarrassnt, sat at the table unsure of what to say, since the two sides hadn’t ntioned they already knew each other.
Pei Muchan gave Xu Qingyan a deep look, then shifted her gaze away towards Huang Kefan.
“Mind your language, what are you swearing for?”
“When did I swear, I clearly…” Huang Kefan stopped mid-sentence, froze, and then said, “I can’t stand you educated people, all of you…”
