Chapter 40: Blind Date

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Cui Si returned home, her father called.

“Cui Si, you’re not young anymore. I’ve arranged a blind date for you. You can’t refuse this time.”

After hanging up the phone, Cui Si felt extremely reluctant, but there was nothing she could do.

Since her father had already said so, she could only nod and agree. After all, her father’s condition had just stabilized, so he couldn’t be agitated.

When evening came, Cui Si tidied up and arrived at the agreed location. It was just a formality anyway, so she could deal with it.

Looking at the message and photo that her father sent her, Cui Si sighed. He was so handsome, talented, and rich. Why did he want to go on a blind date?

Not long after, the man walked over and Cui Si hurriedly stood up.

“Hello, I’m Ouyang Xiu. You’re Cui Si, right?”

Cui Si looked up and happened to also see Sima Jin sitting not far away. Her expression immediately changed. Could Ouyang Xiu be…

Ouyang Xiu directly dived into the main topic and expressed that he wanted to be together with Cui Si. It would be best if they could get married right away.

Cui Si looked at Ouyang Xiu in disbelief. He clearly didn’t like women, so why did he still do this? This man was obviously Sima Jin’s lover. Even when he went out on a blind date, Sima Jin would follow behind.

Sima Jin looked over, his eyes filled with anger.

Ouyang Xiu said again, “Cui Si, come home with me and meet my parents!”

Cui Si was completely confused. This was too fast. They had only just met and he already wanted her to meet his parents?

Ouyang Xiu didn’t give Cui Si the chance to refuse. He directly grabbed Cui Si and strode away.

“Cui Si, I kissed you. I will definitely be responsible for you. Come home with me now and meet my parents.”

Cui Si saw that Sima Jin was following closely behind and knew why Ouyang Xiu was like this. He was using Cui Si as a reason to make Sima Jin give up.

Ouyang Xiu’s parents were unusually welcoming and could not wait to hold the wedding right now.

After leaving Ouyang Xiu’s house, Cui Si looked at him. He was clearly so handsome, why would he like a man?

“Ouyang Xiu, I want to make it clear to you that I’m not your tool.

“Now that Sima Jin is not following you, don’t look for me again in the future. I don’t want to be used by you and you shouldn’t be doing this either.”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned. Why did this woman seem to know everything?

After parking the car by the river, Ouyang Xiu took out a cigarette and looked out of the car window, depressed. Perhaps he was thinking of Sima Jin.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to do this either, but it’s impossible for Sima Jin and me.

“Even if the world allows it, our families will not. After all, we are both the only heirs of our families.

“Since we haven’t taken things too far, now is the time to stop the losses.

“I still have to thank you today. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you in the future. Here’s my business card. If you need anything, give me a call.”

Cui Si held the business card in her hand. When she thought of Sima Jin’s appearance, she looked at Ouyang Xiu again.

She shook her head. Cui Si didn’t want to get involved. Right now, she just wanted to get rich quietly. She didn’t need a man in her life.

As long as she had money in the future, what kind of man couldn’t she find?

…

When she woke up in the morning, Cui Si went straight to the antique market again. When she used Success Rate Analysis Skill yesterday, she was notified that she would fish something big at the market today.

But when she arrived at Fatty Wang’s stall, she found that there was no one there.

“Miss, Fatty Wang won’t be around today. He’s gone to the countryside to restock. What do you want to buy? Take a look at mine. I have good stuff too.”

Old Sun informed Cui Si as he waved his fan. Since Fatty Wang wasn’t around today, it was his turn to be lucky. It was impossible for the girl to be so lucky every time.

More importantly, his stall was full of fakes, so he wouldn’t lose out no matter how hard he tried to sell them.

Cui Si bent over and checked out his goods. But none of them were authentic, so she left.

Old Sun rubbed his chin. Could this girl really have an eye for authentic goods?

Cui Si looked for a few more stalls. But all their goods were fake too until a bowl at a stall attracted her attention. After careful observation and the guarantee of her analysis skill, it was confirmed that this item was a genuine one.

“Mister, I’m interested in this bowl. How about I give you 50,000 for it? If you don’t take it, you might not be able to sell it today.”

As soon as she finished speaking, an ice-cold voice came from behind her.

“I’ll give you 100,000!”

Cui Si turned around and saw that it was Sima Jin standing behind her with a cold expression.

“Sima Jin, what is the meaning of this?”

Sima Jin sneered a few times. What else? This girl had stolen his man. How could he let her off so easily?

“Nothing.. I just don’t want you to earn money!”
