92: I was really cheated, Yuechengchun blind date

“Come, tell Grandma how you’re doing. Is anyone bullying you?”

“Oh, that police job, if you don’t want to do it, then don’t. The family isn’t short on money. If it doesn’t work out, just let your uncle step down, and you can be the chairman, okay?”

Ye Lin listened, a network of black lines appearing on his face. Uncle, this is truly your birth mother.

Before he even entered the house, Wang Chao heard the sound from inside and rushed out, gripping Ye Lin’s hand tightly. “My dear nephew is here! Oh, Uncle has missed you so much!”

“Get out of the way.” The old lady unceremoniously pushed Wang Chao aside.

Poor Wang Chao could only stand to the side, like an outsider.

However, Ye Lin noticed that this guy had been smiling the whole time, which gave him a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after lunch, Wang Chao grabbed Ye Lin and ran. “Mom, I’m taking Ye Lin out to play.”

“Remember what I told you to do!” The old lady shouted as she chased after them.

But the two had already vanished, making the old lady stomp her foot in anger. “This child! It wasn’t easy for this old woman to find someone suitable for you. If you dare not go, I’ll beat you when you get back!”

Ye Lin was pulled by Wang Chao, jogging all the way out of the residential area before they finally stopped.

“I say, Uncle, what are you doing? Why are you running so fast?”

Wang Chao looked back intently, making sure the old lady hadn’t followed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he suddenly adopted a shifty-eyed, sneaky expression and said to Ye Lin, “My dear nephew, Uncle has a favor to ask you.”

Damn, there really was a conspiracy. Ye Lin inwardly cried out, “Not good!”

“Get lost! Is it another blind date? I don’t have time.”

“Don’t be like that! Don’t you feel bad seeing Uncle so pathetic?”

“Feel bad my ass!”

“Think about how Uncle raised you from a young age, changing your diapers and everything. Now is the time for you to repay him!”

“Cut it out! When I was in diapers, you were just learning to walk.” Ye Lin retorted unceremoniously.

The two were roughly the same age when they were young, so it wasn’t really a matter of one raising the other.

Wang Chao’s eyes darted around, and then he suddenly shoved a slip of paper into Ye Lin’s hand, took off running, and fled with all his might.

While running, he also looked back and shouted, “I don’t care, you’re going for me! Remember to call me; I still need to report back to your Grandma.”

“Hey…”

Ye Lin was speechless, watching Wang Chao’s short legs run. Really, sigh.

If he really wanted to catch him, it would only take a minute, but Ye Lin didn’t want to chase him anymore. He understood Wang Chao’s pain.

Or rather, he deeply empathized, even having more say than Wang Chao himself, because he had been to most of them.

Wang Chao’s birth mother, his Grandma Pan Meixian, after getting older, for some reason became determined to get Wang Chao married off.

Normally, this would be fine, but the old lady, for some reason, always felt that their Wang family was a wealthy family in the provincial capital, and she didn’t want to find another very wealthy family; she wanted to find a girl from an ordinary family.

According to the old lady, such girls were genuine and reliable.

So the old lady’s two main hobbies after retirement were dancing and going to the provincial capital’s blind date corner.

She thought that everyone who went to the blind date corner was reliable, so starting a couple of years ago, she arranged many blind dates for Wang Chao.

At first, Wang Chao, out of respect for his mother’s authority, went a few times, of course, holding a glimmer of hope.

But later, he found that not everyone who went to the blind date corner was strange, but at least eighty percent were, plus some marriage scammers, which made Wang Chao afraid of blind dates now.

Although our Wang Chao is not an introverted person, every time he sat down for a blind date, the girl opposite would start asking directly about cars, houses, degrees, and jobs, making Wang Chao sweat profusely, feeling it was harder than an exam.

Eventually, Wang Chao gave up hope on blind dates, only hoping to be able to deal with his mother, preferably for the old lady to completely despair of his marital affairs.

However, the old lady might have been too bored; her combat power in this area was off the charts, and she would find him one whenever she had nothing to do.

Just when Wang Chao was suffering, he somehow came up with an idea, realizing a fact that had existed for decades: Ye Lin was roughly the same age as him.

An evil thought began to sprout in his mind: let Ye Lin go on blind dates for him.

Poor Ye Lin was also young and naive at the time, and after being tricked by his unscrupulous uncle, he went. This started an unstoppable trend; after that, whenever Wang Chao had a blind date, he thought of sending Ye Lin.

Now that Ye Lin had gone to work in Yuezhou, Wang Chao had been forced to his wits’ end by his mother these past few months. He was so relieved to hear Ye Lin was back; why waste such a great shield?

Ye Lin looked at the slip of paper in his hand and cursed inwardly, “Still calling himself an uncle? How unscrupulous!”

He opened the slip of paper and saw: 6 PM, Yuecheng Spring, the girl’s name is Liu Lina.

Alright, another trip.

Yuecheng Spring was a good choice of place; it’s a chain restaurant in the provincial capital, a high-end Chinese restaurant, with an average spend of over 500 yuan per person. It seemed Grandma had gone all out for this blind date.

The basic information about the girl was also written: 26 years old, a student abroad, currently a middle manager at Shixing Technology, with an annual income of 400,000 yuan.

As for the descriptions like ‘dignified appearance’ and ‘fair skin and beautiful looks’ that followed, Ye Lin automatically ignored them. As someone who frequently went on blind dates, these were all nonsense; no matter how flowery the words, it was better to see for oneself.

The conditions looked good.

As for Wang Chao’s situation, Ye Lin was well aware: an ordinary employee of Wang Corporation, with an annual income of 200,000 yuan, lives with his parents, and has a car.

Initially, when Ye Lin saw this character setting for Wang Chao, he almost jumped up; it was too fake.

However, Wang Chao’s one sentence: “Your Grandma set it.”

Left Ye Lin completely speechless. Grandma must have watched too many old romance dramas. What kind of society is this now? With these conditions, to still expect to find someone both generous and sincere, and truly devoted—it’s difficult.

So Ye Lin often mourned for Wang Chao in his heart. Thankfully, his own marriage should be something Grandma wouldn’t interfere with.

Based on the paper qualifications of these two, it’s probably another no-go… At 5:30 PM, Ye Lin arrived at Yuecheng Spring.

As expected of the most famous restaurant in the provincial capital, even before dinner time, it was already bustling with people coming and going.

Fortunately, Wang Chao had booked a table in advance, otherwise Ye Lin probably wouldn’t even have a seat when he arrived.

Wang Chao booked a table in the main hall, which also fit his persona, as the consumption in the hall was slightly cheaper.

The girl hadn’t arrived yet, so Ye Lin boredly looked at the menu.

And surprisingly, the variety was very rich, with seafood and mountain delicacies aplenty. The dishes also included classic dishes from major cuisines across the country, from south to north. Ye Lin nodded repeatedly, only the prices weren’t very appealing, but given the luxurious decor, it seemed worth the price; it just depended on the taste.
