At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

In addition, she also booked the Hilton hotel's king suites. Even though they were all for overnight stays and there was a scheduling conflict, her mother still spent a lot of money to book them all...

"wrong."

"No, no, that's not right."

"Didn't her company go bankrupt?"

Suddenly, as Su Che drove his car out of the yard and felt the autumn wind blowing, he realized something.

"If she's broke, why is she still spending so much money to order so many high-end things for me...?"

This lunch, movie, candlelight dinner, and upscale hotel—it would be impossible to afford anything less than ten thousand. Could it be that Mom's company has recently shown signs of coming back to life?

Su Che didn't have time to ask, but upon closer reflection, he realized that even though his mother kept saying, "The company went bankrupt, and Mom is having a hard time now. She has accumulated a lot of debt and has to work day and night to keep the company running,"

In fact, she spoke these words in a very calm and cold tone... as if it were not something that had happened to her.

This is intriguing.

Su Che decided that after resolving the blind date today, he would study his mother carefully, just like he studied his father.

As the car slowly drove onto the Second Ring Expressway, Su Che made up his mind and accelerated directly.

……

12:50 minutes.

Ari arrived early at the window-side seating area for couples on the first floor of "Chill Western Restaurant".

Generally speaking, whether it's a romantic date or a blind date, it's more common for the man to arrive first and the woman to arrive later. However, today, the power dynamic between the two is clearly unequal.

Yali was the subordinate, while Young Master Su was the superior, so she naturally had to get ready several hours in advance and arrive before him to wait quietly.

She calculated that she had been waiting for about 20 minutes, but she was not in a hurry. She just kept her eyes on the window, her emotions as still as water, seemingly lost in thought.

This is a trendy restaurant that mainly serves Italian food. It's not crowded, the food is expensive, and it's high in calories. The only redeeming quality of the dishes is that they look good in photos.

Ari doesn't usually care about the location of her dates, since she doesn't go on dates on weekdays anyway. She mainly eats low-fat meals, mostly fruits and vegetables, and only high-quality protein such as salmon and beef. She avoids all unhealthy foods.

In this respect, she is quite different from Nana.

Nana's diet is unhealthy, while Ari's diet is normal fat loss, both aimed at maintaining the stability of their bodies and skin.

Yes, she doesn't need to improve anymore; simply maintaining stability is enough to defeat all the women in sight.

"Ugh."

The thought of getting a spoiled young master for her next turn made her sigh softly.

The person you wanted to give to didn't appreciate it.

Those who don't want to give are eager to do so.

When you really reach a point where there's no turning back, is it possible for you not to feel conflicted at all?

Obviously not.

Clearly, she still harbors fantasies about "the type I like".

Humans are such complex creatures, regardless of whether they are men or women.

Wanting what you like, but unwilling to accept the reality that the person you like doesn't like you back.

Especially for a top-tier woman like Ari, who lives in a world of praise and fawning, she has no idea what it feels like to be rejected.

Today, her face remained calm, but her heart was filled with immense sorrow.

"I also have people I can't have. The person I can't have is a scumbag with a bunch of girlfriends and sex partners. He's a playboy."

"hateful."

Ari grew angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

For a fleeting moment, I even felt a little regretful—

She wanted to cancel this perfectly planned blind date, go home and hide, and after recharging, head straight to Su Che's stronghold, capture him, and imprison him! Risking breaking the law, she wanted to let him experience the wrath of a goddess, torment him mercilessly! She wanted to trample his face under her feet! She wanted to shove her toes into his mouth and punish him to the point of death! Until he screamed, "I was wrong! I shouldn't have broken my promise! I shouldn't have refused to see you!"

Ari's breathing became rapid.

Ari really wanted to do it that way.

However, since Ms. Su has already arranged such a grand scheme, going back on her word now would not only be a slap in the face for Ms. Su, but also make that young master Su lose face...

A rich young man who gets stood up is likely to retaliate.

They might even be more extreme than themselves.

"Ai……"

Ari was stumped.

Leaving is not an option, nor is staying.

I couldn't swallow my last breath.

Are we really going to let some rich young master we've never met get the benefit?

They say it's for their own future, so they can never have to work hard again, jump straight into a higher social class, and become a winner in life in the eyes of other women... But would they really be happy like that?

She would forever become the young master's appendage, bear him a child, become a woman who could only take care of the family, and give up her career...

That kind of life...

Is this what I want?

Ari's eyes dimmed as he recalled the hardships and exhaustion he had endured over the years, leaving him even more lost.

Practicing painting and singing skills consumed all her energy, leaving her with no opportunity to experience what could be described as a "healthy" or "smooth" romantic relationship.

Because she knows how difficult it is to maintain her current temperament and appearance, she is hostile to almost all men, always presenting an icy, unapproachable image, giving men no chance to take advantage of her.

Even though she has remained chaste, can't she change the outcome even now?

Or should we just let a man who isn't our choice have the benefit...

This reality made Ari feel very wronged.

I feel extremely wronged.

Just as she was getting restless and wanted to get up for some fresh air, the sound of car brakes came from outside the window, directly in her direction—

She subconsciously looked up at a man who was getting out of the driver's seat of the car... a man whose face was so familiar it was almost unrecognizable.

Watching him walk straight around the row of railings and enter through the main gate,

Guided by the waiter, I walked straight to my seat and, behaving quite politely, asked:

"Hello, are you Miss Hua Leng? I'm Su Che. My mother introduced me to Miss Hua for a... a meeting..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The air condensed.

……

……

Chapter 240 Entering the Flower Room.

Ari had several extreme conjectures—

Young Master Su might be a spoiled brat, Young Master Su might be a mama's boy, Young Master Su might be a fat otaku, Young Master Su might be a useless person with zero skills.

Even worse, Young Master Su might be so filthy that he has a disease; being touched by him would be like falling into a quagmire...

But I never imagined that Young Master Su was actually his mother, Su Che.

Such a shocking coincidence was something Ari had never experienced even once in his life.

Having been tricked and manipulated, having been stood up, I was filled with a mixture of desire and anger with nowhere to vent. I was debating whether to go back and punish the source of all this evil to death. Who would have thought that, after searching high and low without finding it, it would come to me without any effort at all!

[Su Che, Su Che. So, he's the eldest son of the Su family, the young master of "Lingyun"!]

But why has he ended up like this? He borrowed his car, and the apartment he lived in before was extremely cheap.

Ari squinted, suddenly recalling the words Ms. Su had repeatedly told him—

"Don't tell my son anything about our company, not a single word, otherwise, the consequences will be severe."

At that moment, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, the goddess realized the truth.

-

……

Su Che had also had many guesses.

For example, the goddess might be a fake in her photos, the goddess might be forced into the blind date, the goddess might be a cold and aloof woman who is difficult to approach, or the goddess might be someone you don't even know well...

But now, seeing that familiar face, seeing that I carelessly abandoned the three free, top-tier portraits that he painstakingly drew for me after I went into "wise mode"...

Su Che couldn't help but feel a little sweaty.

How could he have guessed that the matchmaking goddess was actually the goddess Ari?

It's worth noting that top-tier makeup artists can almost completely transform their appearance with each appearance, let alone photos taken at different times.

Moreover, when I asked my mom to verify before, she kept insisting that the other person was a musician, not a painter. Now that we've met, doesn't this prove that Miss Ari is not only an exceptional painter, but also a very good singer...?

[No, wait. Wait a minute, why does she look so much like... so much like... Miss Flower Shop?]

Their eyes met, and they faced each other.

In that instant, Su Che, having clearly seen the goddess's face, finally focused his gaze.

In my memory, my favorite singer never showed her face, but her long, silver hair and the aloof, elegant demeanor... seemed to match the goddess Ari before me...

They seem to overlap perfectly.

She...she wouldn't...

There was no time to think about it anymore.

It's too late.
