Chapter 1401 - 766: Blind Date in Progress 2
Chapter 1401: Chapter 766: Blind Date in Progress 2
"Do I need the breakfast money?" Qing Chen walked in with a playing card, while Qing Ji kept a distance, observing from a corner of the tea restaurant.
Qing Chen approached table 2, looking at the girl in front who seemed like a high school student.
She was still wearing a school uniform, her navy pleated skirt just over the knees, sitting quietly in her seat.
The chest of her uniform was embroidered with the words "Qing’s First High School."
The message from Yi arrived: Quick, add her! Add her friend!
Qing Chen took out the playing card from his sleeve and placed it on the table: "Hello, I’m Qing Xiaotu, my family sent me here."
Seeing Qing Chen’s young appearance, the girl breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it would be an old man..."
Qing Chen curiously asked: "You should be quite young, why are you attending a matchmaking session?"
The girl said softly: "My dad said that if I am chosen by you, it could help relieve my family’s debt crisis... Our family’s financial chain is about to break, if it does, we won’t be able to keep our house in the Third District, we’ll have to rent a place in the lower district. Also, I won’t be able to continue school."
"Why did your financial chain break?" Qing Chen asked curiously.
The girl replied: "Our family is in the intercity import-export trade, and my dad staked everything on transporting precision CNC machines, but they were robbed in the wilderness. Normally, there are mercenaries with the caravan, such things never happened before, we don’t know what went wrong this time."
The girl’s face showed some fatigue, clearly, her family’s finances were on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, Qing Chen realized... the girl’s family goods were most likely intercepted by Qing Ji.
"Wild people would never rob precision CNC machines, they don’t even know how to use them! They only intercept grain caravans that lack sufficient mercenaries!"
Qing Chen asked: "So someone found your father and said that if you came and were chosen by me, someone would help your family through the hardship, right."
"Yes," the girl nodded.
"Was it that person who found your father," Qing Chen turned back to point at Qing Ji in the corner...
Qing Ji raised an eyebrow.
The girl nodded...
Qing Chen was helpless; Qing’s Family methods seemed too ruthless, forcing people into matchmaking through such means.
Moreover, it was another unchoosable choice.
The Family Head knew Qing Chen would definitely figure out the truth and discern it was Qing’s Family forcing these families to the brink.
So the Family Head made all these matchmaking candidates miserable, only if Qing Chen agreed to date these girls could their entire clan be saved...
It was absurd!
Couldn’t the Family Head negotiate matters properly, why always make things so extreme, this girl is only a 16-year-old high school student, she’s not even of childbearing age!
Qing Chen pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and opened Yi’s social account: "Please add me as a friend."
The girl hesitated for a long time but finally added ’Yi’ as a friend.
Qing Chen felt a little sorry; although he didn’t plan to do anything with this girl and wouldn’t have further interaction, he had to put on an act of accepting her.
However, for this girl, at the age of 16, she had already been forced to learn how to compromise with life early on.
Qing Chen was very unhappy, because such behavior was excessive.
This lowered his impression of Qing Ji as well.
"You can leave, I’ll contact you later," Qing Chen said, and after the girl left, he sent a message to Yi: "Don’t stir things up, just talk, don’t let her develop feelings only to hurt her... Affection should not be so cheap."
Qing Chen didn’t continue looking for the next matchmaking candidate, but went up to Qing Ji: "Such methods are despicable."
Qing Ji looked up at Qing Chen: "You thought her family’s goods were intercepted by me?"
"Weren’t they?" Qing Chen asked.
Qing Ji calmly said: "Her father is a gambler who squandered their family fortune in a Fourth District casino and signed her life contract with Li Entertainment Group. If there were no accidents, she would serve this entertainment company as a servant for life. The so-called transport incident is a lie; he never transported anything, it’s just an excuse because he didn’t have the courage to be honest with his wife and daughter."
"Sorry, I misunderstood you," Qing Chen said.
Qing Ji said: "Don’t worry, even if it were really me who did such a thing, I wouldn’t mind. So, I also wouldn’t lie about such a thing. Forcing the unfortunate to gain your sympathy is indeed the Family Head’s strategy, but we don’t create tragedies."
"Do you have such good intentions?" Qing Chen wondered: "As someone in a position of power, maintaining conscience and principles?"
"No," Qing Ji shook his head: "It’s just that you can’t have people around you who hate you. Once the child’s mother discovers the truth, she will definitely impose that resentment on the child."
Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief, since it wasn’t Qing’s Family’s doing, at least his conscience could be somewhat appeased.
But the problem is, both Qing Ji and the Family Head are really cruel, seeing everything as tools.
At that moment, Qing Ji spoke: "No need to apologize to me. As the future Family Head of Qing’s Family, every decision you make is correct, even if you kill the wrong subordinate, it’s just a mistake. In the family, you will wield supreme power, even if one day you do something wrong, it would just be dragging the world to perish together, that’s Qing’s Family."
Qing Chen fell silent, unable to respond.
Qing’s Family’s upper echelon’s style of doing things is entirely different from the worldly ways!
"Go meet the next one," Qing Ji said: "Your first matchmaking performance wasn’t bad, at least you added her as a friend, I was worried you’d be too naive, ignoring the girl entirely."
Qing Chen turned to table 8, but before he sat down, he was already speechless.
Before him stood a short-haired girl, flat-chested, dressed in a masculine fashion, with six ear piercings, and a lip ring...
Yi’s message arrived again: "Quick, add her, wow, your Qing’s Family is too thoughtful, you tried every kind of girl for you, it’s too blissful! Hurry, hurry, I can’t wait!"
Qing Chen puzzledly replied: "Is there something wrong with you, in your eyes, she shouldn’t be considered female, right?"
Yi replied: "Turning the bent straight, that’s one of my greatest pleasures."
Qing Chen sat down: "First, let me ask you a question, are you straight or bent?"
The girl glanced at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "I’m bent, but if you can save my mom, I’m willing to have your child."
The tea Qing Chen was sipping was spat onto the floor: "What’s wrong with your mom?"
"My mom needs heart bypass surgery, but our family can’t afford it," the girl said: "Someone came to me and said if I’m willing to have your child, they can pay for the medical expenses, and even provide the best medical team. Don’t worry, I don’t have a history of smoking, drinking, or drug use, my appearance may be like this, but I’m physically clean."
Qing Chen sighed, taking out his phone: "Add me as a friend."
Now he’s just adding everyone as a friend to deal with the situation, anyway, the money to save these people comes from Qing’s Family, and Qing’s Family isn’t short of this trivial amount.
Qing’s Family truly isn’t picky, as long as one’s suitable for having children, they’ve found them all.
Qing Chen looked at the girl: "You can leave, I want to be alone."
The girl left, and Qing Chen sat in his seat, dazed, needing a moment to buffer and digest what just transpired.
At that moment, a dark shadow loomed over Qing Chen’s head, a brawny woman looked at the playing card on the table, speaking in a heavy tone: "You’re the one I’m here to meet for the matchmaking, right? I’ve waited for a long time but didn’t see you, so I came looking. Didn’t expect you got the wrong seat."
Qing Chen looked up at the thirty-something woman, thinking he wouldn’t be surprised even if she had chest hair.
He silently picked up the playing card on the table, tore it into pieces, stuffed it in his mouth, and swallowed: "You have the wrong person."
At that moment, Qing Ji was sitting in the corner holding back his laughter, and his phone suddenly received an instruction: Add the number of girl candidates, insert them to let him meet.
Qing Ji got serious, wondering what kind of girl it could be that even made the one on Ginkgo Mountain personally give instructions.
...
Sorry for the late update today.
