When Jiang Miaomiao said this, Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Jiang Ming is actually going on blind dates?"
"Yes! Someone introduced a woman to my mom. I heard my future sister-in-law is incredible. Not only is she beautiful, but she also works at a villa sales office in the Jiangnan District, earning over ten thousand a month!" Jiang Miaomiao explained excitedly.
"Really? Well, that's good news. Let's meet at Lili's Western Restaurant tonight, then!" Chen Zheng chuckled, shook his head, and hung up.
Just as Chen Zheng ended the call, another one came in. It was Yuan Qingyu.
"Brother Chen…"
"I just found out about the video. I can't believe some bastard actually uploaded it online. Has it caused any trouble for your wife?"
"Are you free tonight? How about you bring your wife, and we can all have dinner together? I'd like to explain everything in person," Yuan Qingyu said, her voice heavy with apology.
By now, the video had already gone viral online. She had learned from Wang Xue that Chen Zheng was married, and she certainly didn't want this incident to cause him any trouble.
"It's fine. Everything has been resolved," Chen Zheng said with a bitter shake of his head. That misunderstanding really got out of hand. My mother-in-law even showed up and was demanding a divorce. But it's all resolved now, so there's no need to bring it up.
"Your wife already knows?" Yuan Qingyu reacted quickly, catching his meaning. She hurriedly added, "Regardless, I still think it's better to explain things face-to-face!"
"Your wife and I are both women, so I know how she must be feeling. Brother Chen, I truly hope you two can live happily together!"
"Oh, right! I'll bring Sister Wang Xue along, too. She can help prove what happened!"
Chen Zheng had been about to refuse, but he felt she had a point; women always have things to talk about. Although he had already explained everything clearly, he wasn't entirely sure what Wei Zixuan was really thinking. If any problems arose later, this would just be brought up again to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Chen Zheng agreed. "Alright, you pick the place."
"But I have another dinner tonight, so I might be a little late."
"Then just tell me where your dinner is. Sister Wang Xue and I will come find you!"
"Lili's Western Restaurant."
"Great, see you tonight then!"
After hanging up, Chen Zheng immediately called Wei Zixuan and told her about Yuan Qingyu's dinner invitation.
Wei Zixuan's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name. Just as Chen Zheng suspected, even though the incident had been explained many times, it wasn't completely over for her. Even at work, her mind would inadvertently drift back to the video.
After all, that was her husband with another woman…
At the thought, Wei Zixuan felt a surge of annoyance and immediately agreed to the dinner. She wanted to see for herself just what kind of person this Yuan Qingyu was, daring to kiss her husband!
"Sister Weiwei…"
"I have something to attend to tonight, so I need to leave work early. Could you please help me with the remaining tasks?" Wei Zixuan handed her work over to Liu Weiwei, quickly tidied her desk, and prepared to leave.
Liu Weiwei found it very strange. Wei Zixuan usually prioritized work above all else, so for her to leave early was very out of character.
After leaving the company, Wei Zixuan went straight to the nearest mall. Since she was going on a date tonight, she naturally had to dress her best.
After all, that young Miss Yuan might be younger than me, but I'm not necessarily at a disadvantage in other areas!
Just as Wei Zixuan stepped into the mall, a figure in a black hat followed her inside. Before long, a tall figure also appeared, looking around in confusion. So fast? Where did she go?
After a brief hesitation, he too walked into the mall.
「As night fell.」
Chen Zheng first drove to the school to pick up Jiang Miaomiao, and the two headed straight to Lili's Western Restaurant. It wasn't exactly a high-end establishment, but it had a great atmosphere, filled with a romanticism that young people loved. It was a frequent spot for young people to have gatherings or go on blind dates.
The restaurant had two floors, with the upper level offering a perfect view of the city's nightscape.
When Chen Zheng and Jiang Miaomiao arrived, Jiang Ming hadn't shown up yet. Jiang Miaomiao immediately pulled out her phone to call him. What on earth is my brother doing? How could he be late for something as important as a blind date? He really deserves to be single!
As soon as the call connected, Jiang Ming's tearful voice came through. Apparently, his car had broken down on the way, and he was now waiting for the insurance company to handle things. He then asked Jiang Miaomiao to explain the situation to the woman, adding that his blind date was sitting at table fifteen on the second floor.
After hanging up, Jiang Miaomiao pulled Chen Zheng upstairs, pointed at table fifteen, and said, "Cousin… maybe you should go explain!"
The woman at that table was potentially her future sister-in-law. Since Jiang Miaomiao was still a student, she felt a little too nervous to go over.
Chen Zheng shook his head helplessly, sighed, and walked over.
When he reached table fifteen, the woman slowly looked up. Her gaze met Chen Zheng's, and her expression instantly turned complicated.
Chen Zheng was also stunned for a moment, his brow furrowing tightly. He was all too familiar with this woman. Despite not having seen her for years, he remembered how she had gone out of her way to humiliate him at Huang Yiyi's birthday party. It was Huang Yiyi's former best friend, Wang Li! He never imagined Jiang Ming's blind date tonight would be this very same Wang Li!
"Chen Zheng, it's been such a long time!" Wang Li was more restrained than she used to be, but the scorn in her eyes was exactly the same.
She gently pointed to the seat opposite her. "Sit down. I really didn't expect my blind date today would be you!"
As she spoke, Wang Li shook her head with a self-deprecating smile, clearly mistaking Chen Zheng for her blind date. The matchmaker had only said that the other party would arrive as scheduled but hadn't provided many other details.
