Chapter 978 Unexpected Blind Date

The next day, Suning began to decorate the new store and handed it over to the AI robot in its own space world.

Therefore, I am very confident about the decoration and future operation of the store. After all, there is nothing I can trust more than AI robots.

"Haichao, why haven't you opened your business these days?" Aunt Qian, a caring aunt nearby, went to Suning many times and found out that Suning's Haichao Noodle House has been closed these days.

"Aunt Qian, I took over Lao Wang's store and plan to renovate it and open it into a bigger store." At this time, Suning looked at Aunt Qian in front of him with a smile and explained.

"Oh! Haichao, you have really upgraded your weapon." Aunt Qian widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Su Ning up and down.

"Haha, not bad!"

"Haichao, what do you think about what I told you last time?" Aunt Qian suddenly looked at Su Ning in front of her and asked.

"What's the matter?" Su Ning looked at Aunt Qian in front of him in confusion, with no impression of this at all in his mind.

"It's about a blind date!" Aunt Qian explained with some depression.

"About this! Aunt Qian, you can see I'm very busy right now, so why don't we put this off for a while."

"How can this be delayed? This girl is quite good and it will be easy for her to find a partner."

"Aunt Qian, thank you so much, but I really don't have the energy or mood for this right now."

"Oh! Forget it! We can talk about it later when you are done with your work. Jianjian is so young and she can't be without her mother to take care of her, right?"

"Aunt Qian, I'm sorry to trouble you."

After the enthusiastic Aunt Qian left disappointed, Suning guessed in his heart that it was most likely He Mei.

Although He Mei is indeed very pretty, when Su Ning thinks of her outrageous actions in the original drama, he doesn't have much desire to interact with her.

Generally speaking, decoration under normal circumstances is very time-consuming. In addition, the decoration team may take over the business of several companies at the same time, so the decoration progress is always delayed.

But after Suning handed over the decoration matters to its own AI robot, these troublesome things encountered in real life disappeared.

Soon, word spread that Suning was planning to upgrade its store. Ling Heping, Suning's new upstairs neighbor, came to the new store and exclaimed, "Haichao, you really got a bigger store?"

"Yes! You didn't work overtime at the police station today?" Seeing the workaholic in front of him finally having some free time, Suning felt a little strange at this moment.

"It's a rare day off today. I just sent Chen Ting on the plane."

"Oh? Where is your Chen Ting?" Su Ning couldn't help but look at Ling Heping in surprise and asked.

"She's in a bad mood, isn't she? That's why she suggested going on a trip to relax. She signed up for a tour to Singapore."

"Singapore? Why would you want to go to such a shabby place?"

"I don't understand either! Anyway, Chen Ting has always wanted to travel to Singapore, so this time she can go there to relax and maybe she'll feel better when she comes back."

"..."

When Suning thought about the fact that Chen Ting in the original drama married a Singaporean Chinese, he felt that the plot had a strong ability to correct mistakes. It was very likely that Chen Ting would still be the scumbag who abandoned her family and children.

"Haichao, you must have spent a lot of money to open a new store, right?" Ling Heping then looked at Suning in front of him again and asked.

"It's okay! I saved some money in the past few years, and borrowed some from relatives and friends, so that's enough." Suning smiled and explained casually.

"Great! It seems like you guys are still the ones making money in business."

"Haha, Heping, why don't you also consider resigning from the police station?"

In fact, Suning believes that Ling Heping’s busyness is also the fuse of their family tragedy. After all, he has no time and energy to care about the neurotic Chen Ting, which naturally leads to Chen Ting’s delusions and depression.

"Forget it! I still prefer the career of a policeman. Although the salary is not particularly high, being fulfilled and busy every day makes me feel at ease." At this time, Ling Heping rejected Su Ningfa's proposal without even thinking about it, which shows how much he loves and likes this job.

"But your job doesn't allow you to take care of your family. I think Chen Ting's current situation is also closely related to your busy schedule."

"Alas! You can't have your cake and eat it too! There's nothing we can do about it."

"Heping, what are you and Ling Xiao doing these days?" Then Suning became curious about Ling Heping's arrangements. After all, there was a high probability that he would divorce Chen Ting in the future.

"Originally, I wanted to leave Ling Xiao at your noodle shop for a few days, but now your shop is closed for renovations, so I can only take him to work temporarily."

"Ling Heping, why don't you send Ling Xiao to his grandmother? I remember Ling Xiao's grandmother doesn't live far away, right?"

"Isn't this because I'm afraid of causing trouble for them?"

"..." At this moment, Su Ning couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Won't you cause me trouble by leaving the child to me?" Then he suddenly looked at Ling Heping earnestly and persuaded, "Ling Heping, no matter how you and Chen Ting will go in the future, Ling Xiao and Chen Ting's relationship is inseparable. It's most appropriate to leave the child with his grandmother for a few days."

"That... you're right! It seems I really didn't think it through."

When Su Ning thought about how Li Haichao raised Ling Xiao for Ling Heping in the original drama, but was eventually blamed and guarded against by Chen Ting, he felt extremely disgusted.

Moreover, it is really inappropriate for an outsider like me to raise someone else's child. In the end, I will be the bad guy who is greedy for money.

The current Suning is not the big villain Li Haichao, so naturally he will not continue the outrageous operations of Li Haichao in the original drama. It feels that the most important thing is to live his own life well.

……

The progress of Suning’s store renovation was very fast. By the time the real estate certificate was officially issued, the renovation had already reached a certain scale.

"Hey! Haichao, you're doing the renovations really fast!" The original owner, Lao Wang, looked at the ever-changing store in surprise and said to Suning.

"Old Wang, you're here." Suning looked at the original owner, smiled and greeted him.

"Haichao, have you gone to get the property certificate?" Then the original owner, Lao Wang, looked at Su Ning in front of him and asked.

"Not yet! I plan to pick it up this afternoon."

"Why don't you go to the Housing Authority and get the property ownership certificate now? I'm waiting for the money, and I've also vacated the house in the neighborhood next door for you."

"Alright! Lao Wang, come with me to the Housing Authority. Once we get the property ownership certificate, we'll go to the bank next door and transfer the balance to you."

"Open! Just do as you say."

Seeing that Suning was so understanding and open-minded, Lao Wang couldn't help but feel surprised.

Recently, Lao Wang’s son who lives far away in Shanghai has been urging him to transfer money because he is worried that Suning’s financial resources are not enough, and his house in Shanghai is also waiting to be paid.

Then Suning took the original owner, Lao Wang, to the Housing Management Office, and easily obtained his two property certificates. Suning then went to the bank next door and transferred the balance of 1.33 million to Lao Wang.

"Haha, Haichao, let's go! I'll take you to the apartment." Lao Wang looked at the long string of numbers on the account and said to Suning in surprise. "Lao Wang, are you planning to go to Shanghai overnight?" Suning asked Lao Wang, the original owner of the house, in surprise.

"Right! Anyway, we understand what's happening in Xiamen. There's no point in staying here any longer."

"Are you two not planning on coming back?"

"Yes! At most, I'll come back once or twice during the Chinese New Year or the Qingming Festival to visit the graves."

Then Suning and Lao Wang came to the house. After a quick look around, they found that Lao Wang and his wife had only taken away their personal belongings and bedding.

"Haichao, these furniture have only been used for one or two years. If you don't mind, I'll leave them to you." As if seeing the surprise on Su Ning's face, Lao Wang smiled and explained to Su Ning in front of him.

"Old Wang, thank you so much." At this time, Suning looked at Old Wang and his wife with gratitude on his face.

"You're welcome! It's rare to find a buyer as quick to pay as you do. We should be thanking you for helping us out."

"Haha, Lao Wang, then I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you for your well wishes! We'll be leaving then. After all, we need to get to the airport as soon as possible."

After Mr. and Mrs. Wang got on a taxi to the airport, Suning happily inspected the house carefully and felt that it was indeed much more spacious than his own.

After checking inside and out, Suning locked the door and left, then returned to the store to monitor the progress of the renovation.

Suning, who was just holding a file bag, saw Aunt Qian and He Mei at the door of the store, and there was a timid little boy following them. Suning guessed that the child must be He Ziqiu.

"Haichao, where have you been again?" Aunt Qian looked at Suning, who had arrived late, with some depression. She suddenly felt that Suning had become more and more mysterious recently.

"Aunt Qian, Lao Wang and I went to the Housing Management Office, and I bought his shop and the house in the neighborhood next door." Su Ning raised the file bag in his hand, then looked at Aunt Qian and He Mei in front of him and explained.

"Ah? Lao Wang sold the house to you?" Aunt Qian looked at Su Ning in shock and asked. He Mei beside her also had a flicker in her eyes.

"Yes! Lao Wang's family is moving to Shanghai, so he has always only sold and never rented."

"Haichao, I didn't realize you're actually a hidden rich man!"

"Haha, Aunt Qian, you're too kind. I just have some savings."

"Oh, right! Haichao, this is the He Mei I told you about. Why don't you talk to her privately?" Aunt Qian then remembered He Mei beside her, and quickly introduced her to Suning in front of her.

"Huh? Okay! It's a bit messy here, let's go to the old store."

"Okay." He Mei lowered her head shyly and agreed to Suning's proposal. She was pleasantly surprised by Suning's conditions.

"Haichao, He Mei, I'm taking He Ziqiu out to play. You guys can chat slowly at the old store." At this time, Aunt Qian took the initiative to take the obedient He Ziqiu away.

After Aunt Qian took the timid He Ziqiu away, Suning took He Mei to the old store. He really didn't expect that Aunt Qian would be so persistent.

"He Mei, please sit down. Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thanks."

"Then I'll take charge and get you green tea."

"Alright."

Then Suning took out a bottle of green tea from the refrigerator and handed it to the shy He Mei. If Suning didn't know about He Mei's outrageous behavior in the original drama, he might have been deceived by her pure appearance.

"Master Li, I heard that you have a daughter?" He Mei, who was moved, seemed particularly proactive. After all, Suning's material conditions were rare.

"Yes! She is six years old this year, and I sent her to the kindergarten next door."

"So, do you like reading?"

"It's okay! The main thing is that I'm too busy and don't have time to read."

"Master Li, can you tell me about your situation?"

"Huh? My situation is pretty simple. I own a 260-square-meter shop, which is the one you and Aunt Qian just saw. I also own two houses, one 120-square-meter and one 98-square-meter. I also have an older brother who farms in my hometown in the countryside. I'm sure you know the rest of my situation."

"Master Li, you have such good conditions, why are you still single?"

"My wife passed away over a year ago due to complications during childbirth! I'm also very busy on weekdays, so I don't pay much attention to such emotional matters."

"Master Li, I'm a teller at the cosmetics counter in a department store. I was previously married for a very short time, and my ex-husband doesn't even know I have a child, and I probably won't let him know about it in the future."

"It must be difficult for you to raise a child alone?"

"It's okay! My mom and sister usually help me take care of the kids."

Suning could feel that He Mei was attracted to him, after all, his current conditions were there.

After that, Suning and He Mei didn’t talk much, and then Aunt Qian came back with the child.

After seeing He Mei and He Ziqiu off, Aunt Qian immediately looked at Su Ning with a smile on her face and asked, "Haichao, isn't He Mei pretty?"

"It's pretty good! I'm just divorced and have a child."

"What's the matter? Haichao, do you still want to marry an older girl?"

"Aunt Qian, it's actually not impossible given my conditions, right?"

"Humph! Is it possible for you to find a older girl with your conditions?"

"Aunt Qian, I'm not in a hurry at all. Besides, it's only been a little over a year since Jianjian's mom passed away. I'm really not mentally prepared for this."

"Hey! Okay! I'll help you find out if there are any older girls who are worried."

"Hey! Aunt Qian, even though I don't look that good, my indicators are still pretty strong, right?"

"Tsk! Wang Po is just like selling melons, bragging about herself."

Although Aunt Qian said that Suning's fantasy, Suning's material conditions are indeed second to none. If you are patient and look for a girl, it is really possible.

Of course, at this time, Suning had no idea of dating, and felt that it would be more comfortable to live alone.
