Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 944 0932 [First Blind Date]

Pity the parents of the world.

Du Yongxiao didn't expect that his mother Li Cuilian would suddenly arrange a blind date for him.

He originally refused, but he couldn't get over Li Cuilian's Tang Monk-like nagging, so his father Du Dapao stepped in and said to Du Yongxiao: "Just please your mother first! As for blind dates, just treat it as meeting another girl. If you don't like her, don't contact her in the future. Go drink tea or coffee, which can also be regarded as fulfilling your mother's wish, so that she won't keep nagging here, and both you and I will suffer."

Since his father said so, Du Yongxiao, who claimed to be a filial son, had no choice but to follow his mother's arrangement and agreed to meet the girl on Saturday. He made up his mind to meet her once and then leave, saying that they were not suitable for each other.

Mother Li Cuilian seemed to be on guard against this move by her son, and actually came along to supervise in person, saying that she also wanted to see what the girl looked like and whether she was suitable for him.

Helpless, Du Yongxiao could only shrug and say, "With you here, this blind date will definitely be lively."

……

Saturday, 3 p.m.

Causeway Bay -
"The Beatles" music bar and restaurant.

In fact, although Causeway Bay was not as prosperous as it is today, this Hard Rock Bar and Restaurant still made Du Yongxiao wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

Because from the outside, this is just a log-style wooden house. If it weren't for the English sign, Du Yongxiao, who has seen many wooden houses in Hong Kong, would almost think that this was a wooden house built by a poor person.

Accompanied by his mother Li Cuilian, Du Yongxiao walked into this so-called music bar and restaurant by himself. After entering the door, he found that it was indeed a different world inside.

In the living room, there were various decorations hanging, including an old-fashioned shotgun with the trigger removed, Indian headdresses, and popular American movie posters. A white woman in cowboy clothes and a cowboy hat was playing the guitar and singing American folk songs on the stage in the corner of the room.

The unique smell of wood made Du Yongxiao take a deep breath unconsciously.

In an instant, Du Yongxiao almost felt like he had stepped into the American West from the bustling Hong Kong.

This place was chosen by that girl. It seems that she has good taste, or at least a wild and uninhibited personality.

Du Yongxiao even had an image in his mind of a western girl wearing a cowboy hat, a denim jacket, and a Mexican carved leather belt around her waist.

Du Yongxiao was very satisfied with this place, but his mother Li Cuilian pouted as she looked around.

Obviously, as a traditional woman, she doesn't like this kind of foreign place. She even thinks milk tea shops and egg tart shops are better than this place.

The bar owner was a foreigner. When he saw Du Yongxiao and Li Cuilian coming in arm in arm, he was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the jewels Li Cuilian was wearing and Du Yongxiao's handsome appearance, and immediately imagined that he was a gigolo who was living off rich women.

It was not until Du Yongxiao asked and ordered coffee in English that he came to his senses and invited Du Yongxiao and the others to sit down at a window seat not far away. He glanced at Du Yongxiao with an ambiguous look, implying that there were so many good things for the young man to do, but he had to live off his wife.

Du Yongxiao didn't know about this. He and his mother had just sat down and hadn't even had a cup of coffee when his mother, Li Cuilian, began to criticize the girl she hadn't even met yet, saying, "Look at the place she chose. There are so many foreigners. She might be the type who worships foreigners. Also, the coffee here is so expensive. A cup costs thirty yuan. She doesn't look like the type who manages the household well."

Du Yongxiao smiled and said, "So you mean we don't need to go on a blind date anymore, let's go?"

"Go away!" Li Cuilian scolded, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to quit before you even meet the girl. I initiated this blind date today. At least you can meet the girl once. Maybe a miracle will happen."

"Miracle? What miracle?" Du Yongxiao disagreed.

"Stop looking so lazy. I'm here to arrange a blind date for you, not to send you to the battlefield. You must not bring shame to our Du family." Li Cuilian really couldn't stand her son's indifferent expression.

"No, I'm only 25 years old. Are you so anxious to have a grandchild?"

"It's not just me who's anxious, everyone is! If people knew that our Du Group has no successor, there might be internal strife in the future. Also, you have to attend some large-scale events all the time. If you don't have a wife to help you take care of those officials' wives, you'll be exhausted."

Li Cuilian said earnestly.

"Anyway, you better behave yourself later. Whether I can have a grandchild next year depends on today."

Du Yongxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What if a little gangster girl comes?"

"Impossible!" Li Cuilian said firmly, "He is from the Guarjia clan of the Bordered Blue Banner, a true royal relative!"

Du Yongxiao sneered: "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years, and there is still the Bordered Blue Banner? Guarjia clan? Mom, please don't be too superstitious, okay?"

"You know shit! I won't tell you!" Li Cuilian felt that Du Yongxiao was disappointing. She had at least found him a girl with good pedigree, but he still despised her.

"If you don't tell me, who else can you tell? What time is it now? Why hasn't that girl come yet? Just because she's not punctual, I don't care even if she's the precious daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, let alone a member of the Guargiya clan of the Bordered Blue Banner."

……

Just as Du Yongxiao was arguing with his mother Li Cuilian, a girl got out of a sports car.

She was wearing a denim jacket, a cowboy hat, and a red scarf around her neck. She was dressed in denim attire from head to toe, with a slim waist and a perky butt, and a first-rate figure.

After getting off the car, she used her fingers to push up her cowboy hat, revealing a pretty round face that was as delicate as a baby's. Her eyes were big and bright, and her eyelashes were long and thin, flickering. She looked like a porcelain doll, extremely beautiful.

puff!
She blew out a bubble gum, locked the car, turned and looked towards the bar, muttering, "My parents are really something. They just arranged a blind date for me. If the person doesn't like it, they force me to come, or else they will confiscate my cute little car! Don't they know that I will have a hard time without the car?"

"Oh, forget it! I'll just go in and say hello!" The girl made up her mind and ran away.

She learned from her parents that the other party came from a nouveau riche family. When she thought of nouveau riche, the girl's mind immediately came to people selling fish in the fish market, selling vegetables in the vegetable market, and selling fruit at the fruit stall!

Nowadays, many nouveau riche are engaged in these three businesses because they make a lot of money.

"I don't know if the other person will smell fishy later. I've sprayed Chanel perfume on him, don't make me smell fishy..."

The girl muttered to herself and walked into the bar.

The girl is only sixteen years old this year, seventeen in lunar age, and still a junior high school student, but she no longer likes going to school.

Her parents are big stars, her family is rich, and she is super beautiful, so her parents spoil her so much that they don't care even if she doesn't study hard.

However, the girl is now in her rebellious period and likes to hang out with some bad boys on the street. Her parents are afraid that she will suffer, so they think of introducing her to a boyfriend. They feel that this way they know her background and at least can tie her down and prevent her from hanging out alone.

The girl blew bubble gum and entered the bar. In an instant, the men in the bar were shocked by her charming and pretty appearance. They stared at her with their eyes wide open, thinking that this girl was so beautiful, so cute, with fair skin and a delicate figure.
The girl seemed to have seen such stunning looks many times and didn't care at all. Instead, she looked around, looking for the man she was going on a blind date with today.

Soon, her eyes were fixed on a bespectacled guy sitting alone at the table. The bespectacled guy was obviously waiting for someone. He was dressed in a greasy way, with a middle-parted hairstyle, gold-rimmed glasses, and a large, baggy suit. He was looking at the girl and swallowing hard.

The girl immediately felt sick and thought the other person was disgusting.

But since this is the blind date chosen by my parents, I have to endure it no matter how disgusting he is.

Thinking of this, the girl walked straight towards the bespectacled boy while chewing bubble gum.

The bespectacled boy couldn't believe that the goddess was actually walking towards him. He stood up excitedly and looked at the girl standing in front of him.

"Are you Du Yongxiao?" The girl raised her head proudly and went straight to the point, "I'm sorry, you're not my type! There's no chemistry between you and me. Go back and tell your family that our blind date failed!"

"Huh?" The bespectacled guy looked confused.

"That's it, I'm leaving!" The girl said and turned away, not giving the bespectacled boy any chance to speak.

At this time-
"Excuse me, young lady. I am Du Yongxiao."

Du Yongxiao didn't want to stand up, but his mother kept kicking him under the table.

The most important thing is that my mother fell in love with this girl. She is so beautiful, like an enamel doll, so cute. Such a girl would be a good daughter-in-law.

As for the place the girl chose, and whether she knew how to be thrifty and manage the household, these are no longer important.

The girl was secretly rejoicing that her blind date had failed and was preparing to return home victoriously, when she suddenly heard someone behind her say that he was Du Yongxiao. She was stunned for a moment and thought, was there a mistake?
She turned around and looked towards Du Yongxiao, thinking, at worst we can just do another show, you're not my type, there's no chemistry between us -
But when she saw Du Yongxiao's appearance, she was immediately stunned.

Handsome!
So cool!

Her father is a movie star and he is handsome enough, but the handsome guy in front of her is still a little bit short of him. Especially Du Yongxiao has deep starry eyes and a faint smile on his lips, which is enough to make many girls fall in love with him.

"Hey, what's wrong with me? How can I be fascinated by a boy?" The girl shook her head like a rattle. "Go over there and tell him that we are not suitable for each other!"

The girl made up her mind, raised her proud head again, and walked towards Du Yongxiao.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, the girl came to Du Yongxiao. She originally wanted to say, "I feel like we're not suitable," but unexpectedly, she started out by saying, "Hello, my name is Guan Jiahui!" Then she stretched out her hand toward Du Yongxiao.

……

Du Yongxiao looked at "Guan Jiahui" standing in front of him and was surprised. He felt that the other person looked very familiar. When he heard that the other person's surname was Guan, he immediately knew who the other person was.

After all, in her previous life, she was called an "enamel doll" by the film industry and was praised as one of the "50 most beautiful celebrities in the world". Isn't the Guan Jiahui in front of her the famous Guan Zhilin?

"Hello, my name is Du Yongxiao, and this is my mother." Du Yongxiao politely introduced Li Cuilian to the other party.

Guan Jiahui looked at Li Cuilian and was about to say hello to her when she remembered something. She turned her head away and covered her mouth to spit out the bubble gum she was chewing. Then she bowed her head and said to Li Cuilian in a reserved manner, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Jiahui. I came here for a blind date as my parents asked me to do."

But in her heart, she was shocked: "Guan Jiahui, Guan Jiahui, what's wrong with you? Why did you spit out the bubble gum? Why did you pretend to be innocent in front of her? This is not your character!"

Li Cuilian saw that although Guan Jiahui was dressed very differently, she seemed to be very well-mannered in her speech and was obviously a lady from a noble family.

"Haha, very good. Sit down, sit down quickly." Li Cuilian pointed to the seat, meaning for Guan Jiahui to sit next to her son.

Guan Jiahui was happy in her heart, but she said, "It's our first meeting, so... I'd better sit here." Then she sat down gracefully on the chair opposite Du Yongxiao.

Her action made Li Cuilian like her even more.

Look, how sensible and pure this girl is. Unlike some girls who would pounce on their son Du Yongxiao as soon as they saw him.

The three of them sat down and the blind date officially began.

Since Li Cuilian came to keep an eye on her son, of course she had to take the initiative.

"Miss Guan, how old are you this year?"

"Sixteen." Guan Jiahui lowered her head shyly.

"This age is very good. Our Ah Xiao is 25 years old, nine years older than you. Do you mind?"

"I don't mind, he's older and more stable." Guan Jiahui blurted out, but in her heart she was shouting, "You should have said you minded! Then just get up and leave! Don't you dislike this kind of blind date? Guan Jiahui, Guan Jiahui, what's wrong with you?"

"Haha, that's good! What's your education level..."

"I graduated from junior high school..." Guan Jiahui said hurriedly, "But I am still studying on my own. My goal is to study abroad in the future. Of course, if my parents don't object, you know, they only have me as their daughter, and they don't want me to leave..."

Guan Jiahui was crying out in her heart: "What do you mean by not willing to go? It's you who don't want to go. Your grades are too bad! The teacher said you are a hopeless case - as for studying abroad? It's not that they don't want to go, it's that you don't want to go out and suffer!"

"That's very good. There are few girls as motivated as you." Li Cuilian became more and more satisfied as she listened.

"Miss Guan, there is another very important question. Do you like children?" Li Cuilian asked seriously, "You also know that our Ah Xiao is already 25 years old. We don't want to delay marriage any longer. It would be best if he could have children for our Du family in one or two years after marriage..."

"Auntie, I'm still young..." Guan Jiahui said shyly, "I'm only sixteen years old..."

"Oh, yes, yes, I was a little impatient. It's okay to have another child at 18. I had Ah Xiao when I was 16, and I went to work in the flower factory without his knowledge... Haha, I'm getting off topic!" Li Cuilian looked at Guan Jiahui, "Although this is just the first time we met, I'm quite satisfied with you. As for you, what do you think of our Ah Xiao?"

Hearing this, Guan Jiahui boldly raised her head and looked at Du Yongxiao: "Auntie, that... this is the first time I met him, and we didn't talk much, so--"

"Oh, I see. Look, I've been the one talking the whole time. I should give you some time! Ah Xiao, I'll go first. You must treat Miss Guan well! I think she's great!"

Li Cuilian stood up with a smile, said a few words to Guan Jiahui, then turned and left.

After Li Cuilian left, Du Yongxiao took a sip of coffee, then smiled at Guan Jiahui and said, "I don't think we are a good match!"
