Chapter 1482: Blind Date
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An Ning’s heart skipped a beat.
She did not expect her mother to talk about this so formally.
“I know. We’re just friends. We’re not compatible at all.”
“Rich families like them have many rules. It’s not something ordinary people like us can climb up to.” Liu Guiqin said,
“But he saved your father’s life. No matter what, you have to remember his kindness.”
An Ning forced a smile.
“I know.”
This was a problem that An Ning had been avoiding. She also knew that she had to face this problem seriously. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.
Not to mention the disparity in status between the two families, just the fact that he had a girlfriend meant that there would be nothing further between them.
It was better to straighten out her position now. After all, this was beneficial to everyone.
“Daughter, your second uncle came today and said that he has a department head in his unit. His son is about the same age as you. I’ve seen the photos. He’s quite good-looking. Why don’t you meet him sometime?”
“I’ve just broken up and you’re already introducing someone to me? That’s too efficient.”
“It’s already the 21st century, and my daughter isn’t sitting around waiting. Shouldn’t she be allowed to date after a breakup?” Liu Guiqin said.
“I think that young man is not bad. Although he can’t compare to Lin Yi, he’s still top-notch compared to ordinary people. You can meet him when you have time.”
It was said that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. This sentence was vividly displayed by Liu Guiqin.
She could tell that her daughter had feelings for Lin Yi.
However, their family situations were worlds apart. Moreover, one was in the south, and the other was in the north. There was no way they could get together. It was better to cut off the idea now and find a good family for her to live a stable life.
The blind date she was talking about was not initiated by An Ning’s second uncle. Instead, she had asked him for help, which resulted in the conversation just now.
“You don’t have to worry about this. 1 might like him, but she might not like me. This kind of thing depends on fate. You can’t force it.”
“What are you talking about? Your second uncle has already shown your photo to the other party’s family. He’s quite satisfied with your appearance and conditions. Now, all you need to do is give a thumbs up, then you can choose a time to meet.”
“Um…”
An Ning combed her hair.
“Let’s talk about this later. I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“What’s there to think about? It’s just a meeting. Who knows, there might be sparks.” Liu Guiqin said.
“Don’t tell me you still have feelings for Lin Yi.”
“Can you stop being so suspicious? Didn’t I just say that nothing can happen between the two of us? We’re just good friends.”
“Then go and meet him. You can’t lose this opportunity.”
“Daughter, listen to your mother,” An Guohua said.
“It’s not that we are forcing the two of you be together. If you are suitable, you can get together. If not, forget it. Why are you so resistant?”
Whoosh…
An Ning took a deep breath with a melancholic expression on her face. She suddenly recalled the scene during the meal just now.
Lin Yi wanted to stay here for a few more days because he was worried that his girlfriend would see the wound.
He was also a gentle and delicate person, but it depended on who was in front of him.
If one was indecisive, they would find themselves in trouble.
An Ning understood this logic.
“Alright, you guys arrange the time. I’ll listen to your instructions.”
“That’s my daughter,” Liu Guiqin said happily.
“Mom, you’ve been here for a few days. I’ll take over tonight. Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow morning to replace me.”
An Ning didn’t want to talk about this anymore, so she changed the topic.
“That’s fine,” Liu Guiqin said. “1 have to go back and take a shower too. I’ll clean up the house and come over tomorrow morning.”
“Yeah.”
Over the next few days, Lin Yi’s days were very free.
The fixed mission was to chat with Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu every day and report on the mission.
Then, he chatted with the nurse who had been specially sent over and told her dirty jokes.
At night, Li Sijin would come to look for Lin Yi and buy food for him. She would even call a few nurses over to play Werewolf and card games together. The laughter in the ward would only end late at night.
Other than that, Lin Yi also received a call from someone.
The other party’s name was Cao Gulping, and he was the leader of the investigation team.
After arriving in Bingcheng, he specially came over to take a look at Lin Yi. The two of them chatted for more than three hours before Cao Gulping left.
Lin Yi didn’t know what would happen next, but there was no doubt that things would change.
“Why isn’t your Sister An Ning here these few days? Is something going on in the hospital?”
In the ward, Lin Yi and Li Sijin were playing Gomoku. Bored, they asked about An Ning.
“It’s fine in the courtyard. Maybe there’s something else.” Li Sijin said.
“Brother Lin, how’s your injury? When can you remove the stitches?”
She didn’t think too much about it. Compared to An Ning, she was more concerned about Lin Yi’s injuries.
“I feel like 1 can remove the stitches today, but the doctor told me to wait another day. I think I’ll be done by tomorrow.”
“There won’t be any aftereffects, right?”
“No, don’t worry.”
“That’s good.” Li Sijin said,
“Brother Lin, you’re a little distracted. You lost three rounds to me in a row.”
“I have a lot of things to do at home. I was distracted just now.”
Li Sijin blinked and said mischievously,
“Brother Lin, don’t tell me you miss Sister An Ning.”
“I’m fine. Why would I miss her?”
Lin Yi stretched and changed the topic.
“Tomorrow should be the last day of studies.”
Li Sijin nodded. “According to the previous study schedule, it will be over by about one in the afternoon. The rest of the trip will be their free time.”
“Alright, let’s go to the institution together tomorrow. It’s been so long. There are some things I have to explain to Chen Shi.”
Li Sijin nodded. She also felt that Lin Yi should go.
Director Chen was the highest-ranking leader of the Agricultural Research Institute, and Brother Lin was the leader on their side.
Some things were only suitable when the two of them to do between themselves.
If she went to talk to Director Chen herself, her status and rank would not be high enough. This was very impolite and a big taboo in the workplace.
“By the way, are you free the day after tomorrow?”
“The day after tomorrow?” Li Sijin asked.
“Are you taking me out to play?”
“You only know how to play every day.” Lin Yi smiled.
“There’s an investigation team in Yanjing. They have a meeting the day after tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, come with me to check things out and help me take notes.”
Initially, Lin Yi had no intention of participating, but he could not turn down Cao Guiping’s invitation, so he decided to check it out.
He could use this opportunity to witness the strength of the team. It would be easier for him to control himself accordingly in the future based on this.
“Got it, Brother Lin. I promise to complete the mission.”
Li Sijin looked around. “Since we’re going to the institution tomorrow. I won’t be going anywhere tonight. Can I stay here for the night?”
“Why would you stay here? But it’s not as comfortable as a hotel bed, right?”
“It’s not that bad,” Li Sijin said,
“I’m not that picky when it comes to sleeping arrangements. The main thing is 1 don’t want to hassle with finding another place.”
“You can decide where you want to sleep. It won’t affect me anyway.”
“Gotcha.”
Later in the night, after washing up, the two of them returned to the ward to rest and fell asleep one after another.
The next morning, the two of them woke up early and went out for breakfast. Then, they took a taxi to the agricultural institute.
However, just as they reached the door, they saw a Volkswagen Magotan stop outside.
At first, Lin Yi and Li Sijin didn’t think much of it, but they noticed a man and a woman getting out of it.
And that woman was An Ning!
