After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Niu Zihao's worries are not without reason.

First of all, he was a child of a different family, and traditionally he was naturally inferior to the children of his eldest and second uncles.

Secondly...

Not everyone likes the leading figure in the Chinese music scene. At first glance, Xu Jingyi seems to be the type who doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry. The reports she writes often focus on social issues, which are problems that only the lower-class people would be troubled by. Niu Zihao doesn't care about them.

"Xu Jingyi probably won't choose me." Niu Zihao laughed and crossed his legs on the table in a different direction. "He probably prefers a steady man like my elder brother."

"It's hard to say. There are so many people who have gone to Uncle Xu for blind dates, but none of them have been successful... This girl probably doesn't like well-behaved men, right?"

Just as my aunt Lin Haizhen was having beautiful fantasies, my uncle Lin Haiqiang was doing another hot stone acupuncture in Yangxin Pavilion.

I've been kneeling on the washboard a lot lately, and my knees can't hold up anymore.

His eldest son, Lin Yuankai, had already put on his shirt and trousers and was tying his tie in front of the mirror.

Lin Yuankai is 27 years old this year. One can vaguely see the shadow of his father in his eyes and eyebrows. The difference is that he looks smarter and more capable than his father.

Three years ago, after completing a double master's degree abroad, he returned to China and joined the family business as a middle-level management position.

Everything went according to plan, just like the mountain spring water brought from the bamboo tube in Old Lady Lin’s backyard garden, calm and clear.

In traditional families, the eldest son always has to shoulder more responsibilities, but he also often gains more.

Old Mrs. Lin threw many of the dirty and tiring work to the eldest son's family, but insisted on fair competition when it came to inheritance. Lin Yuankai had many complaints about this, but his father Lin Haiqiang strictly forbade him to criticize Old Mrs. Lin.

Too many words will be lost.

Lin Haiqiang wiped the sweat off his forehead with a hot towel, looked at his son's handsome appearance, and said with a satisfied smile: "Very good... Do you want to change to a brighter tie? It will make you look more lively."

"No matter how lively you are, you can't make up for the nine-year age gap, father."

"Haha!" Lin Haiqiang laughed awkwardly, "It's an upper-class marriage... it's not surprising that the boy is a little older."

This is true. Not to mention the age difference of nine years, as long as other aspects are suitable, children with a difference of more than ten years in age can also get married.

The chaebols seek to form powerful alliances, but there are actually not many truly outstanding children in each generation.

Age conditions are often very broad.

Of course, the young masters and princesses are all packaged very gorgeously, at least they look glamorous enough in the eyes of outsiders... In fact, those who can study and work smoothly like Lin Yuankai according to the family's arrangement to train successors are already good seedlings worthy of their families' praise.

Cases like Xu Jingyi fall into the category of genetic mutation.

Lin Haiqiang could see that Lin Yuankai was not interested in blind dates. His son had never shown much interest in the opposite sex. Perhaps his desire had been worn away by years of hard work.

However, Lin Yuankai still actively submitted his resume. The Xu family's age requirement was that one must be an adult and not more than 30 years old, and he was within the age limit.

It’s not that I want to win the beauty, but I don’t want to see other brothers in the family get this opportunity.

He wants to prove that he is the best child of the third generation.

Being nine years older than her is actually Lin Yuankai's advantage. Children from chaebol families are very realistic, and age is the most perfect accumulation of reality. It is true that Xu Jingyi is said to be very precocious, but Lin Yuankai still feels that he can strike back at her.

Before the appointment tonight, Xu Jing decided who to meet. Before Lin Yuankai received the message, he had already finished bathing and started dressing up.

"There won't be any surprises. She's a rational girl. She should have accepted the idea that she would get married a long time ago, right? The most suitable and best choice can only be me." Lin Yuankai explained, his calm tone implying methodical confidence.

Sometimes Lin Haiqiang is always surprised by his son's aura. A relative once said that among all the children, Lin Yuankai is the most like Grandpa Lin: handsome, indifferent, determined and wise.

In the Lin family, "being like Grandpa Lin" is the highest compliment for a man. If a Grandpa Lin imitation competition were held, Lin Yuankai should be able to easily win the first place, and other boys would have to step back a little.

Some children did not follow Mr. Lin's path and took a different path, such as my aunt's son who was a musician...

Lin Yuankai never took him seriously.

Just a clown from another family.

After tying his tie, the servant helped him pick out a suit jacket.

Looking at the watch, it was almost time for the agreed date. Would Xu Jingyi want to break the appointment?

Considering the girl's personality, it's not impossible, but Uncle Xu attaches great importance to fulfilling his promises. This time the Hengxin incident has caused quite a stir, and both families have discussed a solution. Uncle Xu should not let his daughter do whatever she wants.

"Please book a room for me at a western restaurant and ask for the room with the best night view." Lin Yuankai instructed the servant.

"Book it now?" the servant tried to confirm.

"Correct."

When the servant left in a hurry, Lin Haiqiang's cell phone rang. It was Old Mrs. Lin calling. He picked up the phone respectfully, and his expression suddenly changed as he listened.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuankai fixed his meticulously parted hair in front of the mirror. "Any news from the Xu family?"

"Yes...hiss." Lin Haiqiang's honest old face had more wrinkles, "Can you believe it? Xu Jingyi actually chose to go on a blind date with Lin Yun..."

Lin Yuankai paused.

After a long moment, he forced an ugly smile on his cheek and laughed out loud nervously, "Hahaha! Surprise, such a surprise!"

Lin Haiqiang looked distressed: "Why Lin Yun? Is there a hidden story here? Or is it that Xu Jingyi is obsessed with looks?"

Although the Lin family recognized the young master as a mascot and looked down on his abilities, but... in terms of appearance, Lin Yun was indeed outstanding.

But even so, this doesn't seem like something Xu Jing would do.

Lin Yuankai laughed mockingly and shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm obsessed with looks... No. Xu Jingyi, I'm afraid she doesn't even take the Lin family seriously. She can't possibly marry Lin Yun, even if Uncle Xu agrees, will grandma agree?"

"Is there a possibility that... Grandma is planning to use Lin Yun as a marriage partner? This way there will be no loss."

"Father, you still don't understand." Lin Yuankai sighed, "What kind of existence is Lin Yun in grandma's eyes? A pet dog, you feed it when it's hungry, and give it water when it's thirsty... Will a parent send a pet dog to arrange a marriage?"

Lin Haiqiang thought for a moment and nodded, "Son, you are right. If you put it that way... there is nothing to be angry about."

"No, I'm a little angry. This means that in Xu Jingyi's eyes, I, Lin Yuankai, am totally unworthy of her, and she is not willing to give me even a chance."

Lin Yuankai tore off his tie and threw it on the floor, grinning.

Good and interesting.

Lin Yun, who was queuing in front of the puff shop, was now confused.

Xu Jingyi's explanation and the call from his grandmother made him quickly understand what was going on.

I understand, but not completely.

No... You are a heroine, why do you want to go on a blind date with me?

47. Why did you hide it from me and go with that woman...

Mr. Lin and Xu Jingyi's father are old friends, and the two families are also old acquaintances. They are located in different cities, and their spheres of influence and business scopes basically do not overlap, so they have been able to maintain a good relationship.

In the previous life, the two families had organized blind dates. Lin Yun remembered that the Lin family sent his uncle's eldest son, but Xu Jingyi didn't like him.

Of course she looks down on him. Xu Jingyi will definitely become the male protagonist's assistant.

The problem is that because Lin Yun played a trick and used Xu Jingyi to expose the ugly deeds of the Lin family, the blind date was brought forward, and then it inexplicably fell on Lin Yun's head...

Seeing Lin Yun's frustrated expression, Xu Jing covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't be so unhappy, is it embarrassing to go on a blind date with me?"

"Yeah, I don't like you."

"If you like each other, you will be together naturally. Why bother with blind dates... Don't worry, it's just a formality. I don't like your brothers, but you happen to be something I'm interested in... an interest that has nothing to do with love. Just think of you as my dinner partner once in a while. I won't eat you."

After saying that, Xu Jing gave Lin Yun a look with all kinds of charm, like a fairy who had studied in Pansi Cave.

If Lin Yun is really as superficial as he appears to be, he is probably starting to get confused.

Finally, it was their turn in line. Because they had to eat dinner, Xu Jing bought two puffs each and Lin Yun bought a whole box of six. They asked the driver to send it back to the hotel and took the opportunity to call Jiang Qianxi to tell her that they would be back late because they had a dinner arranged by their family.

Jiang Qianxi expressed her understanding. Although this guy likes to act like a spoiled brat, he is very sensible and never hesitates when it comes to being well behaved.

As for the nature of the dinner, Lin Yun didn't say anything for the time being. This was not something that could be explained in just a few words. He would tell her when he got back.

After everything was arranged, Lin Yun shrugged his shoulders resignedly: "Okay, then I'll have a meal with you, but we agreed that it's just a meal. I won't play with you for anything else."

"Don't worry."

She drove here by herself and parked her car on the side of the road. What surprised Lin Yun was that it was not one of the common feminine models, but a rugged off-road vehicle.

Judging from the exhaust pipe, it seems to have been modified, and the rear fender is a bit dirty, proving that the owner of the car often drives it in places with poor road conditions.

Xu Jingyi's driving skills are proficient and his driving style is very aggressive, even making Lin Yun a little dizzy.

"What are we going to eat?" Lin Yun hoped to get an answer that would shorten the meal time as much as possible.

"hot pot."

"...Is this a custom in Nantang City, eating hot pot on a blind date?"

"Why can't we eat hotpot on a blind date?"

"Hotpot restaurants are often not very nice, greasy, noisy, and leave you smelling after eating."

"It doesn't matter, just change clothes after eating."

The two came to a Haidilao restaurant in the city center.

In Lin Yun’s memory, in three years, this chain store will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market.

Have to queue up.

The length of the queue was just as exaggerated as Lin Yun remembered.

Xu Jingyi seems to have no aversion to queuing, which is a rare quality among rich kids. Most people are willing to pay a premium to save time after they become rich.

After observation, Lin Yun discovered that it was because Xu Jingyi had a lot of work that needed to be handled online. She sat upright on a plastic bench at the entrance of Haidilao, placing her tablet computer at the junction of her black stockings and her hip skirt, looking at the tablet and then at her mobile phone, over and over again.

When it was almost their turn, Xu Jingyi finished her work and put the tablet into her new fall luxury bag.

She raised her arms and stretched, revealing curves that were as precocious as her face. Then, she squinted her eyes and looked so lazy that it made people's heart beat faster.

Different from Jiang Qianxi's charm that she reveals unconsciously, Xu Jingyi's charm is obviously deliberate. But even if you can see it, you won't feel disgusted. Men naturally have a good impression of beautiful women who look easy to seduce. This is something engraved in their DNA, even though Xu Jingyi is definitely not easy to seduce by nature.

Out of politeness, Lin Yun glanced at her twice, then turned his head away shyly.

As for acting, he's used to it. Acting stupid is easier for Lin Yun than being a trainee who has been training for two and a half years to appear on a variety show.

When their number was called, Xu Jingyi walked in front excitedly, looking around at the customers who were dining.

After sitting down, Xu Jingyi asked Lin Yun to order first. Lin Yun said it didn't matter, so Xu Jingyi took the trouble to order a lot. She seemed to have a good appetite.

"The puffs can't be wasted." Xu Jing opened her box of puffs, ate one herself, then picked up another one and passed it to Lin Yun's mouth, "Open your mouth, ah~"

Lin Yun was caught off guard and had his mouth filled with cream.

Oh my goodness, is this a sneak attack?

Lin Yun felt a little aggrieved. He should not have believed Xu Jingyi's words. This bad woman obviously wanted to have an affair with him.

After carefully sorting out the memories of the previous life, Lin Yun was very sure that Xu Jingyi in the previous life did not have the habit of having ambiguous relationships with men. Why did it never end when it came to Lin Yun's turn?

"Let's talk about Lin Xiangling. You were the one who recommended Lin Xiangling to the Kyudo Club."

"Oh, so?"

"She also joined your club, so now she's part of your inner circle, right?"

"I thought I was just going on a blind date, but no one told me I would be interviewed."

"Sorry, maybe it's an occupational disease. It was just a normal chat, but it sounded like a question."

Xu Jingyi was quiet for a while, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on playing with his phone.

He didn't notice that several female students at the next table were constantly stealing glances over here and whispering.

……

hotel.

Jiang Qianxi did have a cold. After taking some medicine and sleeping soundly for a day, she felt a little better, but she still felt uncomfortable. The reason was that she lacked Lin Yun's energy.

It happened that Lin Yun had something to do during the day and there was an emergency at dinner, so Jiang Qianxi couldn't smoke herself directly, so she would grab Lin Yun's pajamas from time to time, put her nose close to take a sip, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, longing for Lin Yun to come back.

I opened QQ on my phone and realized I hadn’t talked to Yu Sheng all day.

She felt that Yu Sheng must be angry, so Jiang Qianxi had already prepared an apology to Yu Sheng, but she didn't have the courage to tell her.

What if she doesn't accept the apology?

Jiang Qianxi's brain is like a cat's. His emotions come and go quickly, whether they are good or bad.

Yu Sheng is different.

Plus, Jiang Qianxi is a slow and sticky person by nature, so let's put it aside for the time being.

As night fell, a junior high school classmate suddenly approached Jiang Qianxi for a private chat.
