Taking the opportunity while in the restroom, she made a call to inquire about it.
Liang Qiaoqiao answered the phone quickly.
Nanxi asked, "Cousin, where are you? Grandma said you're on a blind date! Is that true?" No response from the other end.
Nanxi checked her phone for technical issues, confirmed that the number was right and called out again, "Cousin? Can you hear me?" "...Yes, she's on a date!" Nanxi was stunned, because the person who responded was a man! "May I know who you are..." "My nis Chen Juncai! I'm your cousin's blind date!" "What's up?" The sound of a delicate woman's voice cthrough the phone, Nanxi recognized it as Liang Qiaoqiao.
After waiting for a moment, sure enough, she heard Liang Qiaoqiao's voice: "Hello, Nanxi! What's up, calling at this hour?" "Cousin! I...
I can't believe you really went on a blind date!" Nanxi voiced her disbelief! Liang Qiaoqiao frowned on the other end, "What's the matter? Why can't I go on a blind date?" Nanxi was speechless, True, why couldn't Liang Qiaoqiao go on a blind date! But...
didn't Liang Qiaoqiao have someone she liked? "Nanxi, I'm 27, not 17.
I can't stay single for the rest of my life, I must find someone to spend life with, don't I?” "No, well...
Cousin, I mean...
why did that man...
answer your phone?" Even if he was her blind date, it was rude to answer someone else's phone without permission! And also, he made her look like a fool.

Liang Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment, "there's no cause for surprise, I went to the restroom and I was afraid someone might call to check in, so I told him, if anyone calls, just helpanswer!" "..." Nanxi was taken aback, Check-in? They must be worried she'd run away from her date again! What a lack of trust! cough! "So, Cousin, does this mean your...
satisfied with him?" Liang Qiaoqiao thought for a moment before responding, “He's 30, a Science and engineering graduate, an architect, not bad-looking, gentle, articulate, an only child, with decent income, his parents live abroad, so I won't be dealing with any in-law conflicts...
Overall, he's pretty good!" "...So you're planning on dating him?" "Yes, Grandma's old now, and I don't want to worry her.
Now that I've met someone suitable let's see how it goes!" Nanxi didn't respond; Liang Qiaoqiao was in love with someone else but was now dating another man! Such a thing would have been unthinkable with her previous character! So, she understood the compromise Liang Qiaoqiao was making! Nanxi felt slightly upset! After hanging up, Nanxi returned to find Xu Mei about to leave.
Frowning, Nanxi asked, "Aunt Xu Mei, why are you leaving so early?" "I have something to do at home.
I cto spend twith your grandma today because I was worried about her being alone.
Now that you're back to accompany her, I'm relieved.
I'll cover again tomorrow!" Nanxi didn't insist.
Following her grandmother's instructions, she escorted Aunt Xu Mei downstairs.
Downstairs, Xu Mei gestured for her to go back upstairs.
Nanxi pursed her lips and asked, "Aunt Xu Mei, I want to ask a question, I don't know if I should..." Xu Mei smiled, "Ask! You don't need to be shy with me!" Nanxi was somewhat embarrassed but finally asked, “Aunt Xu Mei, do you like my uncle?" Xu Mei was startled by the question and it turned awkward for a while.
Nanxi felt she was somewhat overstepping, but she believed she needed to clarify the matter! Nanxi went on, "Aunt Xu Mei, I've never met my aunt, but I've seen her photo.
She was a capable and beautiful woman with short hair like yours.
When she smiled, she was naturally kind and confident.
She was known to be tough when dealing with matters, very resolute and decisive, but you, Aunt Xu Mei, you're a completely different type of woman..." Xu Mei's eyes flickered.
"Aunt Xu Mei, I can see that my uncle really likes you.
Even though he has lingering feelings for my deceased aunt, and those feelings may last for a long time, even a lifetime, but he likes you now, Aunt Xu Mei.
He likes you for who you are, you don't need to change into anyone else..." Xu Mei's smile twitched.
She reached out and took Nanxi's hand, sighing, "I have been foolish.
You understand things better than I do.
Nanxi, thank you!" Nanxi laughed, "You're welcAunt!" Around six in the evening, Liang Youquan chome.
Liang Qiaoqiao had plans to watch a movie with the architect, so she didn't chfor dinner! Her grandmother was both happy and emotional.
She felt as if her granddaughter was already married! Nanxi watched from the side, also touched! At dinner, her uncle mentioned something about Mo Yan visiting the store yesterday and changing the contract. Nanxi was anxious as soon as she heard the word contract, so she asked what the contract was about! Liang Youquan said, "Mo Yan's boss, Mr.
Lu, has now bought the whole West Street block! He plans to build a Cultural Street here...
The specifics are unclear toat the moment, but Mo Yan tookto meet a few leaders from the Culture Bureau.
It seems this project will have both corporate sponsorship and government support.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's almost a certainty!" Nanxi was shocked.
She remembered not long ago when Lu Yinchu visited to assess the investment value of the store.
She had thought he was joking, but it turns out he really bought the entire West Street block! That evening, Nanxi received a phone call from Li Weihuan.
She inquired about Li Xiangchen's health condition, offering sm words of encouragement and comfort before hanging up. Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep.
She went through her contacts again and again on her phone, finally m finding the number and after hesitating for a moment, she dialed it. The other side of the phone rang once, twice, three times, but no one answered.
Nanxi frowned, could he be busy?
She pursed her lips, didn't think about it too much and hung up, putting the phone on the bedside table, ready to E sleep. Just then, the phone rang.
She grabbed it to see a call from Lu Yinchu! Nanxi took a deep breath.
She thought he probably saw the missed call and called back to check.
Not wanting to keep him waiting, she immediately answered the call.
She checked the tbefore answering, It was five minutes past ten thirty at night.
"Hello." "I'm at the entrance to your complex, cdown!" "I'll wait for you." With a "beep," the call ended.
"..." Nanxi was exasperated, she hadn't even agreed yet!
