Having been with Jia Lie for so long, she had learned a few tricks of deceiving people during blind dates, and she would use them if absolutely necessary to escape unscathed.
“Mom, how will I recognize him? Should I give him my phone number?” she asked.
“Don’t worry, Mom believes you’ll have a spiritual connection and recognize each other at first sight,” Mrs. Qiu said mysteriously.
“Huh?” Qiu Yuting was stunned.
Her mother was too confident. It seemed she had calculated that they would fall in love at first sight tonight. She was afraid her mother would be disappointed and start shouting if expectations fell through.
The night gradually darkened, and the Chuang Jia Hotel was lit up. In a hidden corner where one could observe the restaurant, Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Qiu were sitting.
“Mother-in-law, what if the children find out we’re scheming, will they be angry?” Mrs. Qiu laughed so hard her mouth could barely close.
“Whether they’re happy or angry, if we don’t arrange this blind date, these two fools will keep fighting forever!”
“Mother-in-law, rest assured, they’ll fall madly in love as soon as they meet and won’t be cold to each other anymore.”
Mrs. Qiu patted her chest, “I guarantee it.”
“Oh, my daughter-in-law is here,” Mrs. Pei suddenly said.
“My son-in-law is here too!” Mrs. Qiu laughed, “They really have tacit understanding, coming together.”
“Shh, don’t let them discover us, let’s quietly watch the show.”
Of course, the newcomers didn’t notice the two bored old ladies in the corner. They each lowered their heads, found a nearby table, and sat down in silence, lost in their own thoughts.
After drinking a cup of coffee, perhaps because they had waited too long, they finally raised their eyes and looked around for suspicious objects.
At this moment, their eyes met.
“Jia Lie, what a coincidence!” Qiu Yuting was the first to stand up and walk over, breaking the awkward silence.
“Yuting, when did you come back?” Fei Jia Lie paused before saying: “What a coincidence.”
“Are you here on a business trip?”
“I’m here for a blind date,” he answered honestly.
“Blind date?” A shocked expression swept across Qiu Yuting’s face. She had mustered the courage to come back and find him, only to discover he was planning to meet another woman?
