Chapter 53 - BingBang: Little Yurun, you sure you don't want to consider my dad? Wouldn't it be so awesome if we become brothers? We could be superhero duos. We'll fight together and play video games together. (2)
Lin Yiyi had guessed correctly. Ms. Lin Ping had stayed home all afternoon and did nothing while she waited for daughter's triumphant return.
From the anticipation on Lin Ping's face, Lin Yiyi could tell that she had high hopes for this match making.
Ling Ping had thought; her daughter was pretty and came from a good family. After all, not very many people would have such bad taste like that awful actor.
Her family would be the party that opined on how the meeting went!
Lin Yiyi was a little tired, especially when Ms. Lin Ping continued to bombard her with questions like, "So how did it go?", "Was he handsome?", "Did you have a good time?"...
She didn't even have a chance to sit down and chat with the man, alright?
What a day that she had!
She had wasted so much time on the makeover and a hairdo...
Shoot, she never wanted to try this blind date thing again!
Lin Yiyi was ready to give up.
How the heck did she mistake a wrong guy as her date?
There were only two individuals in the entire place. And somehow, one of them was also a Mr. Lu!
As such, it really wasn't her fault, alright?
Screw it. It was just a blind date after all. As long as she didn't share the incident with anyone, who'd ever find out?
She would just take this to the grave with her...
She recollected herself and happily went to pick up her two children from school.
One must say that that she was quite unconscientious.
When she returned with the two children, once again, she ran face-to-face into Ms. Lin Ping.
This time, Ms. Lin Ping did not bombard her with questions about the date. Quite contrarily, she gave her a very complicated look until Lin Yiyi felt goosebumps all over.
"You had a date with the other party today. How could you not show up?"
Ms. Lin Ping had a newfound understanding of her daughter's stubbornness today, "Yiyi, mom only has your best interest in mind. How'd you know that your last man was a scum if you don't go out and meet more nice guys?" (Meng Yan: ?????)
Lin Yiyi, who didn't want to share anything about what had transpired today, "......"
"Had I not call, I wouldn't even found out that you had flaked the last minute. And you had the audacity to tell him that something had come up. What could possibly have come up, huh?"
Old Ms. Lin's naggy mode was initiated once again, which made Lin Yiyi, once again, questioned the meaning of life.
Meng Yuran, who had been sitting to one side quietly this entire time, was in a fairly happy mood right now.
Seeing how pitiful his mother looked, he actually wanted to help her out for once.
"Grandpa, you're home?"
Meng Yuran called out the man who was tiptoeing around the garden at the front of the mansion and attempting to walk around to enter through a back door, "Grandpa, did you go fishing today? Did you have a good haul?"
Gu Chengyi, with his baseball cap, sporting outfit, and a duffle bag in one hand and a bucket in the other, "......"
Ms. Lin Ping's nagging was interrupted by her grandson's words. She turned toward her man and focused all her fire power at him and shouted, "Did you go fishing again? Have you forgotten that you almost fell into the river last time you went fishing? Have you forgotten what the fortuneteller said about water being bad for you... You were told you to stay away from water as much as possible, but you never listen!"
Gu Chengyi looked a little embarrassed and said, "... that's Feudal superstition."
"Psst! If it's superstitious, then why did you bother summoning the God of Wealth?"
Those who were in business, regardless of whether they are superstitious or not, would go through that motion.
Summoning the God of Wealth was nothing compared to some companies that would hire a fengshui master at grand opening, even Gu Chengyi's company was very particular about how they place the furniture in the office.
Lin Yiyi, who was saved by her son, let out a sigh of relief.
Although, she did feel a little guilty toward her stepdad...
But at least she wouldn't be bombarded for a little bit!
She looked over at her calm-looking instant son and gave him a thumbs up.
The two of them tiptoed in the direction of the staircase and made their escape.
