Miro Restaurant.

Inside the VIP guest room, a distinguished and graceful woman was browsing through the menu.

After ordering the food, she looked at Mu Bai earnestly. “Don’t be angry with Mom, son. You aren’t young anymore. It is time to settle down and have a family.”

Mu Bai just acknowledged with an “Mhm” with no change to his expression.

“The girl you are going to meet has got what it takes. Stop sulking already,” Liang Yinqiu exhorted him as she saw his reaction.

Mu Bai responded with an “Mhm” again, showing disinterest in this blind date.

A fleeting sense of frustration flashed across her eyes when Liang Yinqiu noticed that he was not too happy.

Had it not been for his father being critically ill, she would not have taken the risk to do this.

She had to use the most traditional way to secure what she wanted. Only in this way that her son could rightly inherit the estate. 

“This way, please.”

A waitstaff ushered Shen Chen and Shen Zhongming into the VIP guest room, then closed the doors before taking his leave.

Right now, to say that the entire episode was a coincidence was an understatement.

Liang Yinqiu still recognized Shen Chen at a glance, even though it had been four years.

The same goes for Shen Chen, who also recognized the woman in front of her.

Such a strange combination of circumstances, which was not only funny but incredible.

Life is like a drama; the person whom you want to avoid most will always shamelessly appear in front of you.

“You two must have come to the wrong place,” Liang Yinqiu said unhurriedly. Her tone of voice filled with mordant sarcasm with her every word reeking of ridicule.

Hearing what she said, Mu Bai turned to look at them.

He was apparently shocked when he saw Shen Zhongming and Shen Chen.

“Chen?”

Liang Yinqiu immediately cut in as soon as Mu Bai opened his mouth. “Don’t bother with those irrelevant people, son. The girl you are supposed to meet is arriving soon. Don’t make an exhibition of yourself here.”

She emphasized ‘the girl’ to let Shen Chen give up.

Little did she know that Shen Chen was ‘the girl.’

“Let’s get out of here, girl!” For the first time that Shen Zhongming was so decisive.

Shen Chen shot the mother and son a disdainful look before turning to leave.

“Wait, Chen!”

Mu Bai quickly chased after Shen Chen when he saw her leaving.

But Shen Zhongming stretched out his hand to stop him, keeping him at a distance away from Shen Chen.

“Mr. Shen, I—”

“Stop it already, you are way out of my girl’s league!”

Mu Bai was desperate to explain, but Shen Zhongming would not give him the chance.

Liang Yinqiu was beside herself, anger starting to show on her face. She came up to them, unsparing in her words. “Since you know my son is out of her league, take your good daughter and get out of here.”

Her words irked Shen Chen. “What do you mean?” Shen Chen asked.

Liang Yinqiu sneered. “What I mean now is exactly what I meant back then.”

While speaking, she looked Shen Chen in the eye. “I know who you are, Shen Chen. I just don’t want to sound too blunt and hurt your pride.”

Shen Chen snickered at hearing what she said. “So pretentious!”

“Who are you accusing of being pretentious?” Liang Yinqiu was fuelled with anger.

“You have just put your foot in your mouth.” 

Liang Yinqiu’s face turned green. “I tell you what, Shen Chen. Don’t go too far because my son still likes you!”

“Have I gone too far?” Shen Chen squinted at her, unruffled.
