Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Blind Date Object
Xiang Youyou shook her head, her tone noticeably off, "It’s only the first day I’ve met her, how could I know anything about her family?"
Guo Yun quickly detected Xiang Youyou’s tone and apologized, "Sister Youyou, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that Chen Nanting likes Cheng Feng. I wouldn’t have spoken otherwise. Please, don’t be angry at me."
Xiang Youyou’s expression wasn’t quite good. After being humiliated like that, she was surely upset. However, she was too out of sorts to quibble with Guo Yun and stood up from her seat.
"I’m not angry, it’s not your fault. I know you were just trying to match Cheng Feng and I together. Let’s just go home!"
That Chen Nanting likes Cheng Feng only proves he’s more outstanding than she had thought. If she can seduce Cheng Feng, she would be able to return today’s humiliation one day. Moreover, just being Mrs. Cheng will be enough to drive Chen Nanting insane.
The Chen family’s business hasn’t been going well these past two years, with an evident decline.
Guo Yun also stood up and curiously asked, "Sister Youyou, are you planning to just give up on Cheng Feng?"
Xiang Youyou didn’t plan to share her schemes with Guo Yun, who was too impulsive and could ruin her plans. If it wasn’t for Guo Yun’s silliness, she wouldn’t have been humiliated earlier. "We still don’t know Cheng Feng’s background, what can we do?"
Guo Yun gave it a thought, suddenly brightened up and suggested, "Maybe I should ask CEO Gu about it?"
It was a perfect excuse for her to make a move on him.
Xiang Youyou thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. But speaking of which, why didn’t he come today, on such an important occasion?"
Guo Yun shared her confusion, "I find it strange as well. He clearly told me that he would come. I wonder if something came up?"
When they came in, they had looked around but didn’t see CEO Gu. They kept an eye out but still didn’t see him. He should’ve been in attendance today.
Xiang Youyou took a deep breath, "No idea. Well, let’s leave it for now! You can ask him when you have a chance. There’s a high chance he knows Cheng Feng. Even if they haven’t met, he would still know about Cheng Feng’s identity."
Guo Yun gleamed and said, "Then I’ll quickly go and ask CEO Gu. Maybe he could even play the matchmaker for us."
Speaking of CEO Gu, Guo Yun’s eyes light up like stars. She never dated, not because she didn’t want to, but because she found the boys in school beneath her. She disdained poor men. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Even if the man was handsome, if he was not wealthy, she would simply disdain him.
Having lived a comfortable life, she had no plans to endure hardships.
Xiang Youyou felt cheered up after hearing these words. Together, they left the coffee shop and went shopping.
...
After attending the banquet, Tong Yao took the kids to the hospital. As it happened, Si Chen was also there, in the ward. Seeing Si Chen, Tong Yue and Si Yang instantly ran over to him, joyously calling out, "Daddy!"
Si Chen ruffled their hair, before turning his gaze to Tong Yao, "Mom and Dad just left for only a while, did Yueyue and Yangyang misbehave? It must’ve been hard for you to take care of them alone. Rest a bit!"
Before Tong Yao could respond, Tong Yue claimed, "Daddy, we didn’t misbehave. Plus, we are grown now, no need for mom to hold us."
Si Yang was quick to add, "Uncle Cheng helped me get my food."
Si Chen nodded in approval, "Hmm, both of you are five now. It’s time to do things on your own."
Guo Jinnian replied, "Oh, man. You really know how to lay it on thick, Dr. Si. I’m getting cavities from all this sweetness!"
Cheng Feng just touched his nose without saying a word, while Guo Miaomiao chuckled bashfully.
Si Chen, appearing indifferent, pulled Tong Yao a chair to sit.
Tong Yao laughed, "Married life has its joys, cute children, and a loving husband. So, you all should hurry up! I can’t wait to attend your weddings."
Guo Jinnian lamented, "It’s not as if I’m unwilling to get married now. But I can’t help it if my body is the one refusing. Once I get discharged, you’ll come with me to look at houses. As soon as I get my own place, I’ll marry Hongwei."
Looking at Tong Yao’s adorable children, she really wanted to have a couple of her own soon. She was already thirty. If she waited any longer, she would be considered a high-risk pregnancy.
Tong Yao softly answered, "Then take care of yourself in the hospital. Don’t overexert yourself. You’ll be discharged soon."
Si Chen glanced at the time, "I have to get to work now. You guys can stay and chat."
He turned to Cheng Feng, "Sorry to trouble you again, but could you drive them home later?"
"It would be rude for you to ask. Go do your work!" Cheng Feng laughed.
It was then that Guo Jinnian turned her attention to Cheng Feng, "CEO Cheng, I am a spinster near my sell-by date and about to get married. You should hurry up as well, otherwise my child will be born before you."
Cheng Feng replied with a light smile, "I wish to get married soon too. So, I would appreciate your help."
Everyone understood what he meant, but felt helpless about it. Thus, the ward fell into an awkward silence.
Suddenly, Tong Yue piped up, "Uncle Cheng, tell me who you like. I will play the matchmaker for you."
Hearing that, everyone started laughing just when Deng Wenwen’s voice came from the door.
"What are you all up to? You sound pretty cheerful."
Deng Wenwen walked in with some fruits, and seeing everyone present, she said, "Oh, you are all here today."
Upon seeing Deng Wenwen, Guo Jinnian complained, "I’ve been in the hospital for two days, and you’re visiting me only now. What have you been up to all this while? I heard you went on a blind date. How did it go?"
Just when she was starting to feel cheerful again, upon hearing the mention of blind dates, Deng Wenwen’s face fell, "Please don’t mention the blind dates. It’s driving me crazy!"
Gu Hongwei took the fruits from her hands and placed it on the bedside table. He got a stool for her, but Deng Wenwen chose to sit at Guo Jinnian’s bedside.
"Guess who I was set up with?"
Tong Yao raised her eyebrows in question, "Someone we know?"
Deng Wenwen shook her head, "Sister Yaoyao and Brother Hongwei know them, not the others."
With this clue, Tong Yao exchanged glances with Gu Hongwei. Taking in Deng Wenwen’s expression, they both said in unison.
"It’s not Zhou Lei, is it?"
Deng Wenwen gave them a thumbs-up, "You two sure are sharp. I can’t believe you guessed it right away. What a coincidence, after all these years, we crossed paths again. To think, he still isn’t married."
Hearing this, Tong Yao and Gu Hongwei were stunned. Who wouldn’t be surprised after hearing that?
Guo Jinnian was curious, "Who is Zhou Lei? Why haven’t I heard of him before?"
The others were also looking curiously at Deng Wenwen.
