Chapter 816: Chapter 818 Blind Date
“You outsiders may see as born into a wealthy family, with a life of ease and no worries about survival. You might envy that I’ve inherited the family business at a young age, becoming the company’s vice president. But sotis I genuinely wish I were just a child from an ordinary family, possessing the happiness that cos with simple self-awareness.”
Xiao Yifei quietly listened to Su Mang’s lantations, suspecting that this might be the first ti this girl had ever spoken about these things. Before getting to know her deeply, Xiao Yifei always thought soone like Su Mang was a resolute and decisive girl boss, completely unrelated to words like fear and sadness.
Whenever you see a girl with impeccably exquisite makeup, wearing ten-centiter high heels, speaking in a cold and emotionless tone, you simply can’t imagine that such a person would also cry or feel sad. Now, Su Mang gave Xiao Yifei this very impression. He didn’t even know how to comfort a woman who was crying—no, a girl boss.
The next morning, at the first light of dawn, Su Mang transford back into that indomitable girl boss, but she had no choice; strength and fearlessness were her only weapons. Now, she dare not hope her parents would still be her strong support.
She personally ca to pick up Xiao Yifei in the evening. Looking at this woman, Xiao Yifei couldn’t reconcile the image of the woman in front of him with the vulnerable young girl-like Su Mang from last night. The bitterness borne behind her back, we outsiders cannot see, Xiao Yifei thought, feeling so heartache while looking at her.
“My informant just told that today at three o’clock in the afternoon, my assistant went to et my father at a well-hidden coffee shop,” Su Mang said to Xiao Yifei as soon as he got in the car.
“Is there any direct evidence to prove it?” Xiao Yifei asked, still unable to believe that Su Mang’s father would want to harm his own daughter. What kind of person is that? Given the chance, one must certainly witness such a father.
Su Mang said, “I no longer have the ti to slowly gather evidence, I can only start with my assistant.”
“Wouldn’t this risk alerting the enemy? You know, the mastermind behind your assistant is likely your father. If he learns you’ve discovered this matter, making you vanish would be a walk in the park for him. So holding our ground is the best strategy now,” Xiao Yifei advised.
He then asked Su Mang, “Your current actions haven’t shown any flaws to your assistant yet, have they?” Su Mang thought carefully. Her recent behavior remained quite normal, aside from the day she asked them to dine together; everything else she handled privately and quietly.
She replied to Xiao Yifei, “I think there shouldn’t be any flaws. Oh, she seems to misunderstand the relationship between the two of us; she thinks you’re my… boyfriend.” Su Mang said this with a blush, then kept her eyes forward, pretending to focus on driving.
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but recall the first night when he went to give Su Mang a massage, and her cries were indeed hard not to misconstrue. However, misunderstandings might be beneficial, as her assistant might not be guarded against him as much. Yet, being a doctor in this situation would certainly lead him down a dangerous path.
But once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back. Now, it seems too late to withdraw from this competition of death. Xiao Yifei thought helplessly, wondering how he inexplicably got involved in a ga not fit for him.
Early in the morning, Tang Rong’s dear mother called.
As soon as Tang Rong picked up the phone, her mother’s words poured in like beans: “Rongrong, tonight at five o’clock, go to that Japanese restaurant we went to last ti. I’ve already arranged with that boy, make sure to arrive early, don’t be over an hour late like last ti; dress nicely…”
Tang Rong obediently listened to her mother’s lecture, responding compliantly with a word here and there, even though she hadn’t comprehended a single sentence of what her mother said.
But she dared not interrupt her mother’s lecture; showing even a hint of impatience would only lead her mother to escalate, able to talk tirelessly for two hours, possibly turning a few-minute phone call into a full-blown critique. Tang Rong would beco the subject critiqued as worthless.
Tang Rong felt perplexed; clearly, she had outstanding physical attributes, her work was promising, her future held vast potential, and after just two years of working, she’d made a down paynt for a house in the city center. She ought to be considered an excellent young woman of the 21st century. How could she be deed worthless by her mother?
Constantly being pushed to go on blind dates, she fretted her mom feared she wouldn’t get married. Now that’s a real mom, Tang Rong sighed inwardly. Finally, her mom finished her reminders and hung up the phone. Nearby, Miaomiao was snickering.
Seeing this scene, Tang Rong couldn’t help but get upset: “Why are you laughing, you little girl? Don’t think you can disregard things just because you’re a few years younger than . Let tell you, you’ll have your day too.”
“No way. My mom is retired and busy dancing square dance and playing Mahjong every day. She doesn’t have ti to deal with , and being far away, she can’t control even if she wants to! Rongrong sis, you’re the one in trouble. If you don’t find a boyfriend soon, who knows when your mom might show up here,” Shi Miaomiao said.
“I reckon my mom’s retirent leaves her too idle. She frequently spends days at ho sleeping, watching TV, and whatnot. I need to find her sothing to do; once she’s busy, she won’t have ti to manage . I’ll sign her up for a travel group once I get my salary next month.”
Tang Rong was already at wit’s end with her mother. “By the way, Miaomiao, are you free at five tonight to co et that guy with ? Help manage,” she asked.
“I’ve got to work overti at the company these days, getting off at nine at night, so I can’t accompany you. Sorry I can’t be there for you,” Shi Miaomiao apologized. Rongrong sister had always taken care of her, yet occasionally when Rongrong had matters of her own, she never had ti to help. “It’s okay, work cos first; I’ll go by myself.”
This ti, Tang Rong arrived at the prearranged place right at five and found the reserved seat to sit down, waiting a long while without the other party arriving. She hadn’t even stored the other party’s contact information, as it was all arranged by her enthusiastic mom.
Over half an hour later, the other party finally arrived, directly sitting down without even apologizing for being late, instead saying to Tang Rong: “You arrived quite early! I’m Xia Bing, and I suppose your parents have already told you about my situation.”
A latecor feeling the other arrived early is indeed rare. Tang Rong restrained her inner anger; as the son of her dad’s superior, she dared not easily offend. “My mom told to arrive punctually at five, saying that being late leaves a bad first impression.”
Tang Rong deliberately emphasized the word “late” in her tone, yet the man opposite had no trace of guilt, instead displaying a nonchalant expression, as if saying, “I’ve given you so much face by coming; it’s good enough,”—such a man, if not forced by her parents, would never catch her attention on the street.
