Downtown.
In the busiest Jin Ling West Road, in a quiet teahouse with a good reputation.
Chen Jin was waiting in the VIP room number six on the third floor.
His parents, who had come with him, were sent away by him. He told them to go home and wait for his news … A blind date was not something that could be done in a short period of time. If they had a good first impression of each other, after tea, they might go shopping, watch a movie, or engage in some entertainment. They might not even have enough fun for a day.
"Okay, I'll go back with your dad. Son, take this opportunity. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
He Li gave him an encouraging look with a smile. Her son was so positive, this marriage should be a done deal!
Chen Gang looked at the time on the watch Chen Jin gave him and said, "It's 8: 50. She'll be here in ten minutes. We'll go back first."
Chen Jin nodded and let his parents go home.
He sat in the room, holding a cup of Tie Guanyin and continued to wait.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. It was 9: 20. She was still not here.
He played with his phone for a while. At 9: 50, she was still not here.
Chen Jin's brows began to furrow.
Being half an hour late could be forgiven, but she was almost an hour late. It could only mean that she did not take this blind date seriously.
"I'll wait for another ten minutes. If she's not here by 10, I'll leave. I have something to do. I don't have time to waste with you."
He played with his phone for a while. At 10 sharp, he still did not see her.
Go!
Chen Jin put away his phone and stood up. He picked up his backpack from the sofa and prepared to pay the bill at the front desk.
Just as he reached the door of the room, a beautiful figure hurried toward him.
Seeing Chen Jin, she stopped and looked at him. "Are you Chen Jin … the blind date that my mom introduced to me?"
Chen Jin looked at her carefully. She was wearing a purple floral dress. She was tall and wore aviator sunglasses. She had a pretty face and delicate makeup. She wore a pair of high-heeled sandals that showed off her slender legs. Chen Jin's first impression was that she was prettier in person than in photos.
Hearing her words, Chen Jin nodded. "Yes, I am Chen Jin. You must be Yuan Lin."
"Yes, I am Yuan Lin. I'm here for a blind date. Where are you going with your bag?"
Yuan Lin looked at the backpack in his hands.
"I'm going to the front desk to settle the bill," Chen Jin answered truthfully.
Yuan Lin slightly furrowed her brows. Her good first impression of him instantly turned negative as she explained, "The traffic is a bit heavy today, and I didn't mean to be late. Can't you wait for a while?"
"Uh ~ then let's go into the private room and have a seat."
Feeling slightly awkward, Chen Jin retreated to the private room.
Yuan Lin walked in and sat opposite him.
In the entire room, Chen Jin smelled a very fragrant aroma.
He called for the waiter and ordered a pot of 388 Yuqian Longjing tea. Like a gentleman, he poured a cup for the woman sitting across from him.
Then there was nearly ten minutes of silence.
"Let's talk about something." Yuan Lin took a sip of tea elegantly and spoke first.
"About what?" Chen Jin asked.
"We can talk about your job. What do you do for a living?"
Chen Jin shook his head. "It's just an ordinary job. There's nothing much to talk about."
"Then tell me about your hobbies. Is there anything you like to do?"
"Yeah, playing games and watching anime. These are my favorite things to do …" Chen Jin started to ramble on and on. He asked her, "Do you like these?"
Yuan Lin shook her head. "I don't like them. I haven't really studied them."
"You don't like games and anime? Are you a three-dimensional person? How can there be someone who doesn't like games and anime? You're really out of line! "Chen Jin's expression was a bit agitated." We have no common topics to talk about! "
Yuan Lin was at a loss for words. She was speechless and frowning. She had her own interests and hobbies. She had a grade 10 piano and grade 8 English. She had her own company. Why would she come into contact with games and anime?
The man in front of her was the one she couldn't communicate with and had no common topics to talk about!
She even had the thought of leaving since she couldn't continue the conversation.
But …
Her mother attached great importance to today's blind date. At the same time, she reminded her that the head of the accounting department, He Li, could bring her a lot of help. The combination of the two families could bring her many benefits.
Thinking of this, Yuan Lin temporarily suppressed the urge to leave. She planned to get to know him better.
She patiently asked a lot of questions.
For example, "family education", "education", "knowledge", "daily life", and so on.
In the end, Yuan Lin was greatly disappointed.
Because no matter what question she asked, the man in front of her would always say "my mother." When he answered a question, he always liked to add three words: "My mother said." Then he would express his opinion.
And regarding "marriage," this guy expressed a few opinions that made Yuan Lin so angry that smoke was coming out of her mouth.
"My mother said that I can remarry if my wife isn't good. But I only have one mother. If she's gone, she'll be gone forever. I must be filial to her!
"When I get married, I hope that my wife can be like me and listen to my mother. Everything she says is right. Listening to her is definitely the right thing to do. If we mess around, we won't be able to do anything right.
"Also, I don't want to see my wife at home. She has worked hard all her life to give birth to me and raise me. Instead of enjoying life in her old age, she has to be bullied by her daughter-in-law. I can't accept this. Since we're living together as a family, someone has to give in. My mother has a good temper. She won't do anything to hurt others. If there's a conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's definitely not my mother's fault …"
Hearing this.
Yuan Lin's expression was ugly. She could no longer listen to this!
She stood up with her bag and said to him directly, "I'm sorry, I don't think we're compatible. I'll go back first. I'll pay the bill at the front desk."
"Oh."
Chen Jin nodded. "I think we're not compatible too. You don't have to pay the bill, I'll do it."
He stood up and strode towards the front desk.
Yuan Lin also left the teahouse as if she was running away.
Scary, it was really too scary!
…
After returning home.
Yuan Lin still felt a lingering fear.
"Lin Lin, why are you back so soon? How was the blind date today? "Mother Yuan walked over and asked curiously.
Yuan Lin hugged a pillow and said, "Don't say anymore, Mom. I almost hit a fire pit. He and I are not compatible!"
"That can't be?"
Mother Yuan was very surprised. "That young man is not bad. He's tall and handsome! I heard from Dean He that her son has a stable job and is motivated. He can also cook and clean. He's polite and especially filial to his parents. It's really rare to see such an outstanding young man nowadays. How could he not be compatible? "
"So what if he has these qualities? Mom, do you know that he's a mommy's boy! "
"What? A mommy's boy? "
Mother Yuan's expression changed drastically.
This was really a little scary and scary. There was a saying that went, "Marry a man but not a mommy's boy. Marry a wife but not a demon who supports her younger brother." Marrying a mommy's boy meant that one would definitely not be happy after marriage. They would definitely suffer all sorts of grievances and their lives would be like hell.
Yuan Lin had a close friend who married a mommy's boy. She suffered all sorts of difficulties from her mother-in-law. She washed her face with tears every day and barely managed to endure for three years. In the end, it still ended in a divorce … although the man's family was very well-off.
But to meet a mommy's boy was equivalent to hitting a fire pit.
After listening to her daughter's detailed explanation of the situation, Mother Yuan no longer expressed her confusion. Instead, she supported her daughter's correct decision … How could she not know how scary a mommy's boy was?
Mother Yuan was only very puzzled. How could a smart and capable person like Dean He raise her son to be a mommy's boy?
It was precisely because Dean He was smart and capable that it seemed reasonable for her son to become a mommy's boy. It was just like how her daughter, Yuan Lin, was also her "mommy's girl." In essence, there was not much difference between the two.
But for the sake of her daughter's lifelong happiness, she would definitely not marry her daughter to a mommy's boy and let her suffer in someone else's house. After all, she only had this one daughter.
