Chapter 206: 155 seems like an old friend returning, bumping till my heart aches Winter nights always cespecially early, with heavy clouds and a twilight sky, swiftly followed by a moon shining amid sparse stars.

Jiang Yanting's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, his brows deeply furrowed, showing an unmistakable impatience, when his phone began to vibrate, "Hello-" "Why haven't you arrived yet? You didn't run off again, did you?" Fan Mingyu had already learned that he was still not there.

"Mom? Is tonight really not for settingup on a blind date?" "I..." Fan Mingyu stumbled over her words, knowing she was in the wrong, "Anyway, you'd better get over there right now. Even if it's just to go through the motions and have dinner, don't you dare drop out halfway. Otherwise, I'll never face that girl's family again." Having said that, she hung up the phone without further discussion.

"How's it going? Has he not arrived yet?" The old lady stroked her walking stick, the whole Jiang family was anxiously waiting for Jiang Yanting's blind date.

Only Jiangjiang, head bowed, fiddled with a Rubik's cube, seemingly unconcerned—it was, after all, a scene that had played out many times, always without a fruitful outcome.

Even if there were suitable girls who might be a good match for him and open to marriage, Jiang Yanting didn't like blind dates, and with the mood he brought to these meetings, how could he possibly take a liking to them? Fan Mingyu sighed, "I called his secretary earlier, and she said he had already left the company. At this hour, I guess it's probably traffic." "From your tone, Yanting already knew he was going on a blind date? Was he still willing to go?" asked the old lady, tongue-clicking. "This matter, you know, Old Xie and I talked about it at length. If he doesn't go, what am I supposed to say to him later?" Tang Wan was originally supposed to go to the hospital this evening, but after all that had happened during the day, Tang Yunxian asked her to stay hand rest, so she didn't go out.

Jiang Yanting's blind date was none of her concern, and she had no place to interject, so she just listened quietly. Until the sound of a car was heard from outside, someone cin with their body bent low, jogging, "Old lady, the young lady has arrived." Naturally, they were talking about Jiang Shuyan.

"What is she doing here?" The old lady adjusted her glasses.

"She said she's about to go abroad and wanted to cover especially to see you, and also to apologize again to the Fifth Master and Miss Tang for today's events." The old lady chuckled softly, "Just tell her we've accepted her apology, and she can leave." "If you won't see her, she says she won't leave..." The person hedged, "She said she'll kneel outside until you're willing to meet her." "Don't bother with her; we're going to eat," laughed the old lady.

Tang Wan frowned slightly. Today had already been quite an embarrassment, so why had Jiang Shuyan cover again? "Although the relationship has been strained and ended on a sour note, we still have to maintain appearances," Jiang Jinsang approached her and whispered.

"Even if everyone knows we're not on good terms, we can't make it too ugly in public." "It's just for show." Tang Wan nodded. If the Jiang family said it didn't matter, she cared even less.

** Meanwhile, in a high-end restaurant Qi Zeyan looked at the two people opposite him, forcing smiles and making forced conversation, having drunk countless glasses of water. By now, he also realized that he had been tricked by his family-he cursed Jiang Yanting internally for being such a bastard.

A quarter of an hour? It had been almost half an hour already, and he still hadn't come? The two people opposite, although smiling, didn't press him with questions but kept glancing at the time. Even the server cover several times to ask if they should place their order.

If it were just a casual meal, Qi Zeyan could chat with them for a bit, but the thought that it was a blind date held him back, daring not to utter half a word.

"Mr. Qi-" one of them checked their wristwatch, "I'm so sorry, but I have something else to attend to. How about we reschedule for another day?" "He's about to arrive." Qi Zeyan couldn't stop her, especially since a certain person had been late for almost an hour.

"You're really going?" the other girl stood up, "Why don't we wait a bit longer?" "I have another appointment."

"Then we could at least order and have our meal before you leave." Qi Zeyan couldn't very well grab her leg and beg her to stay, after all, his public image was one of cool detachment. "Yes, let's eat first and then go," the other person also tried to retain her.

"There will be other opportunities, I'm sure." Saying this, she picked up her bag and walked out.

"Hey-" The other person, seeing her companion leaving, instinctively wanted to follow.bux was.immediately intercepted by Qi Zeyan, "Let's wait a bit longer, he's really about to come."

Qi Zeyan couldn't stop two people alone, especially since they weren women; he couldn't touch or pull on them inconveniently, so he just smiled appeasingly. What in the world was going on? "He must be stuck in traffic and will be here soon, let's order first." Qi Zeyan thought, managing to keep one person was better than both leaving.
