1 Blind date
"Zhu Yiyi, get up for the blind date!"
Ms. Zhu's savage roar shook the earth.
In the morning, the early autumn sun rose in the east, and the light shone through the French windows and fell on the bed.
The curled-up quilt moved, turned over, and continued to sleep.
"Are you going to the blind date today?"
Accompanied by a burst of excited knocking on the door, dong, dong, dong.
Zhu Yiyi curled up in the quilt, covering her head. She couldn't help it anymore and jumped up: "It's coming, Mom, if you knock on the door again, I'll fall."
Ms. Zhu finally calmed down: "I'm telling you, today's blind date is a high-quality man that your mother and I begged and pleaded with all the high-quality resources in the blind date industry to find. Don't act like you're dying, put on makeup and dress properly, do you hear me?"
Zhu Yiyi, sitting on the bed, had no desire to live: "Is it necessary?"
"Why is it not necessary? Don't forget, this is your fifth blind date in the past half month." Ms. Zhu was furious when she talked about this. "The first four times, you either said that you had a poor education, you didn't want to get married or have children, or you had a rich love history and were fickle. It was all nonsense. I was almost mad to death. What on earth do you want to do?"
What's the matter? You don't want to go on a blind date.
Since Zhu Yiyi broke up, her mother Ms. Zhu has gone completely crazy and has been arranging blind dates for her all day long.
High school math teacher;
Real estate sales;
Civil servant;
And the last one was an accountant in a state-owned enterprise.
Either he had a serious face as if he was talking about business, or he had a frivolous smile as if he was committing fraud.
They were all very boring.
Zhu Yiyi didn't like boring men.
She liked tall and long-legged, handsome, well-mannered gentlemen who wore glasses under the bed and could play her to death without glasses in the bed.
She had only met one such gentleman in recent years.
She was lucky to be pursued by her.
But unfortunately, they broke up last month.
Zhu Yiyi stared at the woman in the mirror, with plain features and a decent height. The only thing she had was her figure.
She inherited her mother's genes, very hot and powerful.
She brushed her teeth with one hand and turned on the screen with the other hand. Several messages popped up on WeChat.
They were all from the company group.
New media companies are like this. They have to rush to write promotional copy on weekends. As a member of the publicity and planning department, Zhu Yiyi's daily work is to write copy, including advertisements, game characters, TV drama promotions, etc. She has a share in almost every project.
I want her to work overtime for free on weekends again.
Zhu Yiyi hesitated for a few seconds and turned on the do not disturb function.
After washing up, she changed into a long skirt and an autumn jacket, tidied herself up in front of the makeup mirror, put on lipstick, and went out.
She casually took a gold tubeof lipstick, which exuded a faint rose fragrance when she opened it, which was attractive to men and had excellent aesthetics.
After seeing it clearly, her hand stopped in mid-air.
This was the gift her boyfriend gave her on her 25th birthday in her last and only relationship.
CL's Queen's Scepter.
When she first received it, it was a complete set, worth tens of thousands. She was so scared that she didn't dare to use it. He just smiled and said, "You like it, that's the most important thing."
Zhu Yiyi turned the lipstick silently but finally didn't use it. She just took a lip gloss and applied it.
Even if they broke up, she didn't want to wear the lipstick he bought to go on a blind date with others.
The guilt was too heavy.
Ms. Zhu waited outside the door impatiently: "Okay or not, don't try to play tricks and not go. I'm saying this today. You must get married by the end of this year."
"Marry, marry, marry." She was helpless.
Zhu Yiyi didn't know if every parent would urge marriage when they reached a certain age, saying that women over 30 are less picky, it's hard to have children when they are old, and they will be lonely and have no one to take care of them when they are old. Such rhetoric can be found everywhere.
She has heard more and more of it in the past two years.
"Okay." She opened the door and went out.
Ms. Zhu looked at her from head to toe and was quite satisfied, except for her expression: "Smile for me, don't look like someone owes you millions."
Zhu Yiyi pulled the corner of her mouth obediently.
"Yes, that's it!" Ms. Zhu smiled and poked the dimple on Zhu Yiyi's left cheek, "Even if my daughter is not as beautiful as a flower, she is still a beautiful girl from a small family. Look how beautiful this dimple is when she smiles. The person she is dating today will like her."
-
Zhu Yiyi is from a single-parent family. Her mother raised her alone. Her family is average.
No matter what she does, Ms. Zhu always adheres to the principle of "saving as much as possible". Today, she took a taxi for the first time. It was not a green taxi, but a special car that looked very high-end.
It seems that the blind date today is indeed of high quality.
Arrived at the Dilun Club.
Located in the commercial street where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, among the numerous buildings, the magnificent decoration stands out, and the word "expensive" is written all over it.
Ms. Zhu was surprised by the magnificent decoration.
Zhu Yiyi had a calm face.
During the year she was dating her ex-boyfriend, she also went to various high-class banquets with elegant ladies thanks to his influence, which broke the "rich worldview" she had built up from reading novels about domineering CEOs over the years.
The waiter led them to a private room.
Pushing open the door, only one man was sitting inside.
It was indeed very "high quality".
With a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, he did not look down on Zhu Yiyi and her daughter who were dressed slightly ordinary.
He stood up and stretched out his hand: "Ms. Zhu, hello, I am Jia Haoren."
A fake good person?
She is perverted.
"Zhu Yiyi, Zhu is as close to Zhu as possible, and Yi is as beautiful as Qiu Shui."
"Ms. Zhu's name has a good meaning."
"Thank you."
Ms. Zhu threw an admiring look at her daughter.
Finally got it.
Zhu Yiyi had a faint expression.
If her mother knew who she learned her self-introduction from, she probably wouldn't laugh.
Growing up, Zhu Yiyi was often bullied because she was from a single-parent family and her mother was just a female worker in a textile factory with little education.
"She was born by her mother but not raised by her father."
"Her mother is a rural woman, a country bumpkin."
"Zhu in Zhu Yiyi means pig in stupid pig."
Later, when she submitted her resume, she was lucky enough to get into a big company, which is now the leading new media company. However, her education from a non-university university was not good enough. Few people in the office looked up to her as a newcomer, and even her self-introduction was shortened to three words - Zhu Yiyi. Anyway, no one cared.
Until he showed up.
The man was named He Shen.
That was their first meeting.
The supervisor sent her to deliver an expedited document. She was in a hurry and the floor was slippery, so she fell in front of everyone in the meeting room.
Many people laughed at her in a low voice.
Only a pair of handmade high-end leather shoes walked in front of her.
He bent down, stretched out his hand, and gently helped her up.
"... Thank you." Zhu Yiyi blushed and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
"It's okay," he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said lightly, "Be careful next time."
She handed the document over in a panic, and the man took it gentlemanly.
The meeting ended, and the recorder recorded the names of the participants. Zhu Yiyi had the weakest presence, and the man asked: "Which you?"
She was a little embarrassed.
The man looked up at the right time, "Qiu Shui Yiren Yi."
He only took a glance at her name and wrote it down.
At that time, Zhu Yiyi sat in the corner, staring blankly at the person in the main seat.
He Shen chewed these two words gently.
Out of reach.
The reckless girl back then might not have thought that she chased him and had a dreamy love with him. When the love was at its peak, he even took off his glasses, and his thick eyelashes touched her sensitive belly skin, and he called her in a low and hoarse voice: "Yi Yi."
But in the end, it was all just a mirage, and they parted ways.
"I wonder where Miss Zhu is working?"
The man's question brought Zhu Yi Yi back to reality.
Go to work, and work for a high position, Zhu Yi Yi wanted to laugh when she heard this: "Shi Shun Media."
"I work in the group at home, as a director." He replied.
"Oh, OK."
"Ms. Zhu is 26 years old this year. What do you think about marriage, childbirth, and family education for several children?"
Before Zhu Yiyi could say "no marriage, no childbirth", Ms. Zhu replied with a smile: "My Yiyi is easy-going. It depends on you. What are your plans?"
"I am 30 years old this year. My current idea is to get married by the end of this year and prepare for pregnancy in the spring of next year. There are advanced confinement centers for all matters related to pregnancy and childbirth. As for the education of children after marriage, I hope my wife will take more responsibility. I am busy with my career."
Ms. Zhu was happy to hear: "Okay, okay."
Zhu Yiyi was hungry and cried, "Mom, I want to eat..."
"Shut up."
"..."
Jia Haoren smiled: "Yiyi is hungry, let's talk while eating."
Ms. Zhu smiled and changed her words: "Okay."
Zhu Yiyi was disgusted by the man's intimate "Yiyi" call. When the food came, she lost her appetite again, especially when she saw her favorite cakes and snacks. She suddenly felt nauseous.
She shifted her sight to the nearby Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
She felt nauseous again.
The reaction has been getting stronger and stronger recently.
Zhu Yiyi sighed, and she was so worried that she only drank a glass of warm water from the delicacies on the table.
Slurp.
Ms. Zhu frowned, and just as she was about to remind her to pay attention to her image, the door of the box was suddenly knocked.
The waiter pushed the door open, holding a confidential document in a yellow sealed bag: "Excuse me, someone asked the front desk to send this to Box 9."
Jia Haoren stood up, "Mine."
"What is this?"
"The dividends I talked to my aunt about before the blind date, the shares under my name have profits every year, and after marriage, Yiyi will also have a part of the dividends. This is the contract."
Ms. Zhu laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "It's too soon to say this now."
Zhu Yiyi: "..."
Her mother almost threw money at her and wrote a few words on her face.
But to be honest, today's blind date is indeed the most sincere, normal, and high-quality in the past half month.
If it were before, Zhu Yiyi might agree.
But now, I guess she will disappoint her mother again.
Ms. Zhu and Jia Haoren chatted speculatively, and even agreed on the day to try on the wedding dress.
Zhu Yiyi didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
She racked her brain to find a reason to ruin this blind date.
It has been used for not getting married and not having children, and it has also been used for being fickle. Could it be that... there is only one left?
But if she says it out loud, this blind date is a failure, and Zhu Yiyi will be a failure too.
This is her mother's taboo.
If she violates it, she will die.
Everyone in the box has their oagenda and Ms. Zhu hinted that Jia Haoren should open it and take a look.
Although she is uneducated, she is not brainless. She has to check the goods first, in case the other party is just bragging.
Jia Haoren doesn't mind, and takes the initiative to say: "I'll show it to Auntie and Yiyi first."
Ms. Zhu excitedly grabbed Zhu Yiyi's hand under the table.
Zhu Yiyi felt pain, and was anxious: "Mr. Jia, I think--"
"Ms. Zhu."
He suddenly interrupted her.
Jia Haoren's face turned ugly, his brows were furrowed so tightly that a fly could be caught dead, and his voice became several degrees colder, "I think you need to explain to me what this is."
He slammed the thin paper on the table.
Ms. Zhu could not read, and she looked at the book like looking at flowers, "What is this?"
Zhu Yiyi leaned in to take a closer look, and when her eyes swept over the line of words on it, her face turned pale.
The secret that had been hidden for more than a month was suddenly revealed dramatically and funnily.
Ms. Zhu gritted her teeth: "What's the matter?!"
Zhu Yiyi was weak, helpless, and terrified: "A hen..."
Ms. Zhu turned her head to look to the other side.
Jia Haoren picked up the paper sarcastically and said word by word: "This is your daughter, Miss Zhu Yiyi's--"
"Pregnancy test report."
