Chapter 429: Chapter 427: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 3_1 Chapter 429: Chapter 427: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 3_1 Third Brother said a little sheepishly, “It’s just sothing that’s co up recently.”
Mrs. Xia asked excitedly, “What’s the girl’s na? What does she look like? Is she easy to get along with? How many people are in her family? What do her parents do?”
Mrs. Xia was very concerned about her future daughter-in-law, so she imdiately bombarded him with a barrage of questions.
Xia Ningxing also looked up, staring at her third brother.
If she wasn’t wrong, his sweetheart must be Ruanruan!
Third Brother’s face turned red, and he stamred, “She, she is just Bao’er’s college classmate, and the screenwriter of a superstar, Ruan Ruanruan…”
“Oh, it’s Ruanruan then!” Hearing this, Mrs. Xia reminisced for a mont, then smiled and nodded, “Not bad at all, she can be brought ho.”
Although Mrs. Xia had only t Ruanruan a handful of tis, she had a very good impression of her.
Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but smile. If Ruanruan knew her future mother-in-law thought so highly of her, she would be overjoyed.
In contrast to everyone’s happiness, Xia Jiehao was incredibly embarrassed. He had intended to set his son up with soone, but now it turned out he had interfered, “Sorry, Dad didn’t know you had soone in mind; otherwise, I wouldn’t have arranged it on my own.”
Third Brother shook his head, “It’s okay, Dad.”
“Then I’ll call my old classmate now, and tell him the arranged date is canceled, so his daughter doesn’t have to go,” said Xia Jiehao, picking up his phone.
But after several attempts, no one answered.
His old classmate’s ho was still a fair distance from the city center. Rather than driving there again to inform him personally, he thought…
“Third Brother, how about you still go and tell the girl in person? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be quite right to leave her hanging without a word,” Xia Jiehao suggested.
“No problem,” agreed Third Brother.
At this mont, Third Brother had no idea that going there would be fortunate—otherwise, they might miss each other and end up running around in circles.
“Mom, I’ve finished eating; I’m heading to the office now,” Xia Ningxing wiped her mouth with a tissue, then put on her mask, hat, and sunglasses, fully ard before leaving the house.
Mrs. Xia frowned, “Bao’er, won’t you eat so more?”
There’s a kind of hunger that’s when your mother thinks you haven’t eaten enough!
“I’m done,” Xia Ningxing replied, having already run out of sight.
By the ti Xia Ningxing arrived at the office and passed by the makeup room, she saw Ruan Ruanruan fussing with costics, frantically applying them to her face.
Xia Ningxing rarely saw her doing makeup and stopped in her tracks, walking over while teasing, “What’s our Ruanruan up to, putting on makeup like that? Are you possibly going to… Holy shit!”
Originally, Xia Ningxing intended to say “going on a blind date,” but the sight of her makeup made her curse out of shock.
Ruan Ruanruan had painted her eyes pitch black, clumped her eyelashes like fly legs, applied a dark foundation to her skin, and topped it with deathly Barbie pink to instantly turn her face coal black. There were also two blobs of highlander red on her cheeks, and her nose was dotted with dense freckles drawn with an eyeliner pencil.
On her head, she wore an electric green emo hairstyle.
Her originally delicate and cute face had beco instantly nauseating with all that makeup.
“What are you doing?” Xia Ningxing was stunned by this spectacle.
Had she lost all hope in life?
Pleased with her shocked expression, Ruanruan curved her lips and, rather than answering, said, “Looks like my makeup job is a success!”
Xia Ningxing was speechless with frustration, “How could it not be a success? You nearly scared to death!”
“Hehe, that’s exactly the effect I wanted,” Ruanruan hugged her arm, then explained with a hint of helplessness, “Xiaxia, I really didn’t want to make myself so ugly, but to ensure the blind date fails, I had to resort to this. Otherwise, with my flower-like beauty, if the guy took a liking to , my opportunistic dad would definitely make marry him.”
“Sigh, when you think about it, I’m pretty unlucky too, actually I went on a blind date in place of my sister.”
Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but sigh.
Xia Ningxing frowned, “Where’s your sister then?”
“Oh, she eloped with soone!” Ruan Ruanruan spread her hands helplessly.
She went on, “My sister has always had a boyfriend, her college classmate, but he’s from the countryside, so my parents never approved of him; they absolutely refused to agree to their marriage. But my sister, as if under so love spell, insisted on being with him. So, the day before the blind date, she took advantage of our family not paying attention and eloped with the guy. My parents searched for a long ti but couldn’t find her.”
“Originally, after my sister eloped, we could have just called off the blind date, but the guy’s family was too good to pass up for my dad, so he sent instead. He even told to definitely win the guy over and said it was okay to use so strategies if necessary. Look at that, are those the words of a father?”
Xia Ningxing’s lips twitched, “Indeed, it’s quite speechless.”
“Ah, it’s getting late, we agreed on ten o’clock, Xiaxia, I have to go. No, no, I shouldn’t be so punctual; I’ll wait until eleven before leaving, let him wait,” Ruan Ruanruan was now determined to accrue as much resentnt as possible in handling this arranged date.
“Okay, you do what you think is best, I’m going back to deal with paperwork.” Xia Ningxing wouldn’t ddle in her employee’s personal affairs.
“Mmm, alright boss! You work hard, boss! Go for it, boss!” Ruan Ruanruan blew a rainbow of flattering comnts.
Xia Ningxing: “…”
As she was nearly finished dealing with the paperwork, Xia Ningxing rubbed her temples and suddenly rembered sothing.
Wait a second!
Her third brother was also going on a blind date today!
And it was also at ten o’clock!
Could it be…
“Yuanyuan, go check if Ruan Ruanruan has left the company yet!” Xia Ningxing imdiately picked up the phone on her desk and called her assistant.
If she was indeed eting her own third brother, then she needed to remind her to get rid of that awful makeup on her face!
Assistant Yuanyuan imdiately said, “Boss Xia, Sister Ruan left the company half an hour ago.”
Which ant it was too late…
At this ti, she must have already arrived!
Xia Ningxing mourned for Ruan Ruanruan for a few minutes in silence!
Soon, Yuanyuan heard loud laughter coming through the phone.
Xia Ningxing was cracking up at her desk!
She wanted to see how Ruan Ruanruan, with her radical makeup, would face her third brother!
If she didn’t have work to do, she would definitely go watch!
…
anwhile, inside the cafe.
Ruan Ruanruan was looking at Jiehao, eye to eye, flabbergasted.
“How could it be you!?”
After a good while, Ruan Ruanruan scread and quickly covered her face with her hands.
Ever since her dad told her to go on the blind date, all she thought about was how to make her date dismiss her, so she didn’t pay attention to who it was with.
If she had known it was a date with him, she wouldn’t have worn such a crazy makeup, even if it killed her.
