After Soong's mother disrupted her life for two days, Soong Chuyi finally couldn't take it anymore and asked Soong's mother what had happened at home and if it had been resolved.

Soong's mother ate and drank well, and was a little reluctant to leave. If it weren't for Soong Chuyi's compromising attitude, she would have wanted to stay for half a year, but she couldn't leave her son. In the end, she thought she could bring her son over with her during the summer vacation.

Soong Chuyi.

It was not the first time Soong's mother had mentioned this matter. She had just graduated half a year ago, and Soong's mother had already arranged a blind date on her schedule. It was just that Soong Chuyi did not call either of them when she saw them. Soong's mother muttered to herself, but she was not in a hurry to marry her off. In the next few years, when something happened to her family, she could not leave Soong Chuyi's salary, so she let it go.

After a long time, Soong's mother took out her daughter's marriage again. She was old and could not find a good partner, old and had no one to support her, and when she drank a mouthful of cold water, she would stuff her teeth with all kinds of theories. Under the banner of being good for Soong Chuyi, she introduced whose son it was.

Soong Chuyi had been in love a few years ago. To be honest, after leaving school life, she couldn't find it in herself to feel moved. Besides, society was developing.

But now that she thought about it, Soong's mother always made fun of her when she was unmarried. In the minds of the older generation, children who were not married had to be managed by their parents.

Soong Chuyi had also been tempted to use marriage to escape the suffocating family, but her relatives had married a few years earlier, and now they were full-time housewives. They spent all their money asking their husbands for it. In fact, it was all quarrels. Soong Chuyi did not dare to imagine that kind of life, and she could not accept it. What's more, she thought that she could not maintain the responsibility of a family, and she could not accept the idea of having children after being married for a year or two. Gradually, she became afraid of marriage.

In recent years, there had been male colleagues who had wanted to date her, and Soong Chuyi had always wanted to be friends with them. If she had any feelings or thoughts, she would take the initiative.

Perhaps it was because of the incompleteness of her family, but even though Soong Chuyi longed for family, at the same time, she was shocked by Soong's mother and did not dare to approach family. That was even more difficult to prevent than some unexpected changes in the workplace.

Marriage was no game to her, love was all right, she always backed away when it came to marriage, and if she was really going to have children she wanted to marry love, marry someone she liked, and the people she spent time with never walked long distances with her, let alone made her want to marry.

In today's society, there was no money to get married. It wasn't a marriage of love, it was just self-torture. Soong Chuyi was living a good life alone. Soong's mother didn't mention it.

In order for Soong's mother to return to her peaceful life as soon as possible, Soong Chuyi agreed to the blind date. With Soong's mother as a witness, she added Auntie So-and-so's son. The two of them would chat for a while and meet.

Soong's mother was satisfied and told Soong Chuyi to be more enthusiastic when she saw them. She heard from the matchmaker that the family was well-to-do, had a good education, and a high salary. There would be a lot of betrothal gifts in the future.

Soong Chuyi's heart sank again as soon as she heard Soong's mother's words. She decided to explain to Soong Chuyi that there was no way they could go down.

A few hours later, Soong Chuyi accepted the friend request from the other side. Soong Chuyi did not have the curiosity to check her WeChat Moments. Instead, she sent a greeting to the other party, explaining who she was. She wanted to add a note to the other party's name and the conversation ended.

The blind date's surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Mucheng. His family's business was indeed much better than hers. Other than the first time the two of them introduced each other, the other party took the initiative to start a conversation a few times later. Looking at the whole story, it seemed like they were checking her account, while Soong Chuyi treated the blind date as if she was returning to her superior's job, speaking little.

For the next few days, there was no news of his blind date. Soong Chuyi mistakenly thought that he had been persuaded to leave by her coldness. Unexpectedly, after she revealed the news of her rejection, Zhao Mucheng arranged to meet her on Saturday night.

Soong Chuyi thought about it and decided that they should meet, at least to talk things out in person and agree to the appointment.

It was said that his work was in H City, but he was coming to C City recently, and he had to meet his blind date, so he arranged to meet Soong Chuyi at a famous Couple Hotel, which had the habit of placing different flowers on the table, and Zhao Mucheng's head was a bouquet of pink roses.

Soong Chuyi also knew that there was a rose on the table where they met. She took a taxi to the hotel, and a waiter led Soong Chuyi into the hall. She walked to the front desk and left.

Soong Chuyi looked around the room. There was more than one table with roses, but there was only one table with roses and men, so she refused the receptionist's inquiry and walked over to the table with the men.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao Mucheng? I am Soong Chuyi introduced by Auntie Wang."

At the front desk, Soong Chuyi had only seen the man's back to the corridor, hidden by greenery. When she got closer, she saw that he was still wearing a mask. When he heard the voice, he finally raised his face and looked at her.

Soong Chuyi introduced herself again. The man pulled down his mask and asked, "Soong Chuyi?"

"Yes, hello." Soong Chuyi nodded.

... "Hello." The other party extended his hand, and Soong Chuyi did the same. She was a little puzzled. She felt that this person's expression was a little strange, and it made her feel that he was a little unreliable.

Because even though he had a mask half covering his chin, Soong Chuyi could tell that this person was as beautiful as a celebrity. His skin was so good that Soong Chuyi had only known Hsu Youfeng so far.

In the families Soong's mother knew, such good conditions should have long since been snatched away from them. For example, if she introduced her cousins to each other, she wouldn't get a chance, and this person didn't look like he lacked a partner.

She didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry. Any other girl would have screamed at this person today, and Soong Chuyi knew that the man in front of her wasn't surnamed Zhao.

However, Soong Chuyi had a quick attitude. No matter how good-looking this person was, no matter how rich his family was, if she didn't call him, she would lose contact with him when she got back.

"Sit down." The man pulled out a chair and invited Soong Chuyi to sit inside. It was just enough for the potted plants to completely cover her from view, and it was hard to tell if the man had done it on purpose or not.

Soong Chuyi wanted to bring up the subject many times after she sat down, but the man called the waiter first and pushed the menu for her to order. He seemed to have full control of the situation. Soong Chuyi had no choice but to give up. She ordered a dish and declined to let him come.

Based on her familiarity with the hotel, Soong Chuyi could introduce the other party, who was not familiar with City C, and improve his impression of her. However, she did not want to be too enthusiastic, so she might as well let him look at the menu and pictures and choose what he liked.

As they waited for their food to be served, the two of them finally had something to talk about. They asked each other questions about their own work, and asked each other about their plans for the future, whether they wanted to stay in H or come to C.
