Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan swiftly pressed the elevator button and entered the elevator that went all the way down to ground floor. In the narrow elevator, she felt like a failure but she didn’t want to admit defeat so easily.
She kept telling herself that she must get herself together and that everything would be alright…
Those so-called family members had not only snatched her fiancé, but had also taken the only thing her parents had left her.
She wanted them to regret one day!
When she thought of how she had bragged about getting a husband, she felt her head hurting. Where was she going to find a man to marry her?
Now, Su Wan had no more anticipation for love. All she hoped was to take back the things her parents had left her.
Su Wan hastily marched out of the elevator. The absent-minded lady at the front desk saw her and was startled. She apologized immediately. “Miss Su, I didn’t know your identity earlier. If I have offended you, please don’t take it to heart.”
Su Wan shot her an indifferent look and walked out of the main entrance of Sheng Yuan Group without uttering a single word.
When the lady at the front desk saw Su Wan’s red eyes, she was shocked. Did Su Wan quarrel with the chairman?
The sun shined brightly outside the building and for a moment, it dazzled her. Su Wan saw the continuous flow of crowd and let out a soft sigh.
Lin Fei’er said it was easy to find a man with two legs, but she couldn’t just grab a man on the street to marry her, could she?
Terribly upset, Su Wan finally hailed a taxi and was ready to go back and discuss with Lin Fei’er.
Lin Fei’er, on the other side, had just finished checking her merchandise and was home a bit earlier than Su Wan. When she saw Su Wan’s face, she guessed that Su Wan had a bad day.
Lin Fei’er came forward and inquired, “Why were you out for so long? I’ve prepared lunch. How did your grandfather explain it to you?”
Su Wan leaned her head against her shoulder and recalled the day’s incidents but left out her encounter with Jiang Xuecheng and Lu Qingyu.
When she heard how extreme Su Yurou and her parents were, Lin Fei’er was furious. She stamped her feet, feeling aggrieved. “The whole family are indeed sl*ts. None of them are good. What do you plan to do?”
Suddenly, she realized Su Wan was biologically related to them, so, Lin Fei’er quickly explained, “Ah, ah, of course, Wan, you are not at the same level as them.”
Su Wan shook her head, feeling a little melancholic. Her head felt heavier now. “Fei’er, do you know of any good methods to get married quickly?”
“Actually, many boys from our high school admired you. You could probably pursue one of them.”
After getting a glare from Su Wan, Lin Fei’er wrapped her hands around her shoulders and laughingly corrected, “Of course, they’re all unsuitable. If you wish to get married quickly, going on a blind date would be more reliable.”
“A blind date…” Su Wan murmured. Her eyes had a sense of confusion but after a low sigh, Su Wan finally nodded her head. “A blind date it shall be…”
Since she had made up her mind, Su Wan and Lin Fei’er immediately browsed through the few credible dating websites in Jiuzhou.
After both their serious screenings, they finally chose a thirty-year-old lawyer by the name of Luo Jian, with a height of 178 cm. He had a decent appearance, a masters degree, and a clean family background.
The arrangement was made through an agent and he agreed to meet Su Wan the next afternoon. The venue of the blind date was fixed by Su Wan and she had chosen the Blue Mountain Café in the heart of S City.
The next morning, Su Wan carefully dressed herself up to keep up with her principle of giving others a good impression.
She chose a simple but elegant light purple dress and put on some light make-up. Then, she arrived at Blue Mountain Café one hour earlier on purpose.
Su Wan picked a seat by the window and ordered a cup of mocha from the waiter. The, she flipped through the magazine calmly.
Although she knew she was too early, going on a blind date was Su Wan’s first trial and there was a reason she took this seriously.
Just as Su Wan was flipping through the magazine, she suddenly saw from the window two tall men who were not far from the café.
These two men were very outstanding. The man standing nearer to the road wore gold-framed glasses. His appearance was gentle and upright. If he were standing alone, he would definitely attract many girls’ attentions.
However, compared to the man on his right, he was far inferior.
The man who stood on the inner side of the road was not only amazingly handsome, but every action of his was like the king on inspection, easily attracting everyone’s vision. The elegant and indifferent temperament of his was not one that could be easily imitated.
Wasn’t that Jiang Xuecheng?
Su Wan widened her eyes in disbelief and suspected it was an illusion resulting from her being afraid of him.
Jiang Xuecheng and his partner were walking toward Blue Mountain Café and Su Wan had a bad feeling. She quickly covered her face with the magazine and pretended to look at the scenery outside.
Luckily, Jiang Xuecheng did not notice Su Wan. He and the man wearing gold-framed glasses went upstairs to a private room. They seemed to be having a discussion.
Su Wan let out a sigh of relief. She felt that the things she feared would always appear in front of her. S City was such a big city. Why did Jiang Xuecheng have to come to Blue Mountain Café?
However, it was only half an hour before the blind date and she could not change the venue at the last minute.
Su Wan’s mouth drooped. She made up her mind to find another hidden corner seat. Because of Jiang Xuecheng’s visit to the café, Su Wan was in no mood to read the magazine.
Very quickly, just when Su Wan was on tenterhooks, half an hour had past just like that.
However, Jiang Xuecheng had not come down and her blind date partner, Luo Jian, had not arrived!
Su Wan was a little puzzled. According to the blind date protocol, both parties should arrive ten minutes earlier or at least on time. Why was Luo Jian still not here?
Su Wan sighed as her partner had not appeared yet. She took the teaspoon and stirred her mocha. What Su Wan didn’t know was Jiang Xuecheng and his partner were talking about her upstairs.
Time flew. She waited in the café for more than half an hour and questioned if she actually had a date today…
Just as she was anxiously waiting, a man in a suit appeared in Su Wan’s vision. He was about 170 cm tall, shorter than Su Wan when she wore high heels. He had a big mole on his face and he looked weird.
That man was obviously unfamiliar with the atmosphere in Blue Mountain Café. He was looking around as if looking for someone.
Su Wan skimmed through him and with disappointment, realized he was not Luo Jian whom she was waiting for.
Such bad luck! Jiang Xuecheng, whom she didn’t want to see, was here but her first blind date partner did not turn up.
Su Wan looked at the time on her watch and firmly believed Luo Jian had stood her up.
He was a lawyer but she did not expect him to have no sense of time.
Su Wan brushed her sleeves and finally stood up, ready to flag down the waiter to bring her the bill.
Beyond Su Wan’s expectations, the eyes of the short man who had just walked in lit up the moment she stood up and he dashed toward her.
“Are you Miss Su?”
