Chapter 94

Recently, Qiao Li has also encountered similar troubles.

Feng Yaoqin charged for a diamond VIP membership on a matchmaking website.

She urged the website's matchmaker to arrange two blind dates for Qiao Li in a row.

The first one was a university professor.

He looked scholarly and was well-mannered. He was seven years older than Qiao Li.

They met at a Japanese restaurant.

At first, the conversation was normal until the man asked:

"Do you mind if I check your hotel check-in records before marriage?"

Qiao Li was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Hey, bro.

Isn't it too outrageous to say this at the first meeting?

The other party noticed her dislike and explained with a smile:

"Miss Qiao, don't mind. I've been blind dating for a long time and haven't met a suitable partner. To be honest, I quite like you today, so I asked you this question. If it was someone else, I probably wouldn't have thought to ask..."

"I don't like you," Qiao Li interrupted him, "People with no boundaries, stay away from me."

After saying that, she left directly with her bag.

The second one was a fitness coach.

He was the same age as Qiao Li and looked good with a fit body.

When she went to see that man, she had just come out of the band's rehearsal studio.

She didn't dress up on purpose. Her fair and delicate face had a very natural beauty.

Unexpectedly, the first thing the other party said when he saw her shocked her.

That man looked her up and down with a frown, and asked in a puzzled tone:

"Why didn't you put on makeup?"

Qiao Li's face sank: "????"

Are you polite?

The man seemed oblivious to her displeasure. He squinted and looked her up and down again, and said:

"The profile said you are 1.7 meters tall. You don't look like 1.7 meters to me. I'm 1.5 meters tall."

Qiao Li was already cursing in her heart.

Who asked you?

On the surface, she maintained her calm and said lightly: "Oh, you don't look 1.8 meters either. Did you exaggerate?"

The other party became impatient and spoke faster: "I really am. I just measured yesterday." Qiao Li shrugged and smiled: "If you say so, then so be it."

The other party still wanted to argue, but she had already called the waiter to order food and ignored him.

Trying to pick up girls? You're still too young.

It took Qiao Li less than ten minutes to quickly finish the meal.

She wiped her mouth, picked up her bag, and pushed back her chair to get up.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the man also got up from his chair:

"Let me pay the bill first, you can wait for me by the car. The Mercedes-Benz outside is mine."

Qiao Li showed a polite smile and said:

"I've already paid through my phone."

The man looked surprised and said: "Oh, is that so? Then I'll pay for the late-night snack."

Qiao Li: "......"

He actually thought she would stay with him until late-night snack time.

His self-perception was too good.

"No need for late-night snacks, I'm going home."

The man was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "What about me?"

Qiao Li instantly showed an innocent and naive expression, blinking her eyes:

"Ah? Don't you have a home?"

She was used to playing the role of a well-behaved girl in front of her elders. Her innocence and confusion were portrayed just right, skilled and adept.

Her mocking words made the other person unhappy, yet unable to really take offense.

The man was dumbfounded, only to finally realize that Qiao Li was not interested in him.

In order not to lose too much face, he raised his eyebrows:

"Alright, let's each go home then. I also feel that today's blind date was not very satisfactory."

"Okay, bye," Qiao Li perfunctorily responded a few words and walked towards the door with her bag.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't gotten back at him for mocking her height when they first met.

She immediately stopped, slowly turned around, and raised an apologetic smile:

"Oh, right, I forgot to say, your sneakers look fake."

Her voice was slightly loud, just enough for the surrounding diners to hear.

The curious gazes of the surrounding diners fell on the man's sneakers. His face instantly turned red, and he wanted to defend himself.

Qiao Li didn't wait for his response and walked away swaggeringly.

She knew that for a man, these words were damaging enough to piss him off for the whole night.

Phew~ That felt good.

Walking out of the restaurant, Qiao Li couldn't wait to vent to Sheng Mumu.

The two had been in the same trench for a few days, and their relationship was much better than before.

Qiao Li: "Sis-in-law, you don't know what weirdos I met on the blind dates these past two days." Sheng Mumu immediately replied: "[Ear emoji] I'm all ears, I really want to hear about it."

Qiao Li: "@##¥%@¥%......(800 words omitted)"

After a round of venting, Sheng Mumu laughed until she couldn't stand straight.

Qiao Li sent over a distressed emoji.

Qiao Li: "If a normal man could just drop down from the sky now, pretend to be my boyfriend, and help me smoothly get past Auntie's scrutiny, that would be so great."

Sheng Mumu was drinking milk tea. Seeing her message, she choked and started coughing violently.

Damn.

When faced with blind date requests from elders, the first reaction of this family is to find someone to pretend, huh?

"Sister Sheng, are you choking?"

Cheng Zhuo walked by her open office door and heard her coughing. He poked his head in and asked.

Sheng Mumu patted her chest to catch her breath.

Seeing Cheng Zhuo, a hint of ambiguous smile suddenly flashed in Sheng Mumu's eyes.

Seeing that she had stopped coughing, Cheng Zhuo turned to leave and continue working.

"Cheng Zhuo, wait."

Sheng Mumu suddenly called out to him.

He turned back to see Sheng Mumu looking at him with a beaming smile, gesturing for him to come over.

"Come, sit."

Cheng Zhuo was puzzled. He felt her smile was very strange but still obediently pulled out the chair across from her and sat down.

"What's the matter, Sister Sheng? Is there a work issue?"

Sheng Mumu arched her brows playfully.

"If I remember correctly, you are twenty-seven, right?"

Cheng Zhuo nodded. The topic of age suddenly made him realize this was a good opportunity to subtly find out about Sister Sheng's background.

He wrapped the question in his reply: "Yes, I was born in December of xx year. Sister Sheng, you are one year older than me, born early in the year?"

Sheng Mumu was caught off guard by the question.

She seemed to have not paid attention to when the original host was born.

Her brows knitted slightly as she carefully recalled the information on her ID card.

"Yeah, early in the year."

Because it took her some time to think about it, her tone was a bit slow.

In Cheng Zhuo's eyes, this slowness took on a completely different meaning.

Could it be that Sister Sheng was also unclear about her exact birthdate?

This makes it very likely that she was adopted by the Sheng family.

The probability that she is his sister has increased again!

A hint of joy appeared on Cheng Zhuo's face. He directly dropped the "Sheng" and called out:

"Sis, why did you ask about my age?"

Sheng Mumu's eyes glinted. She smiled and said:

"Sis wants to introduce you to a girlfriend, a really cool one. What do you think?"
