Chapter 49 Blind Dates

Realizing that he was showing off in the presence of an expert, Perry was embarrassed after being mocked. He instantly backed off from Melinda.

Melinda sighed in her heart, finally feeling a bit better. It seemed that there were always some self-righteous people coming to annoy her.

The moment Perry calmed down, he called Yulia. It only took a few rings before she answered his call.

"How is it going?" Yulia asked.

"This woman is so hard to flirt with! What you've said is useless. If anything, I think I made her impression of me even worse."

The mere thought of being kicked in the face just now made Perry sigh exasperatedly. Yulia told him that Melinda really liked literature, and that he would surely be able to talk to her by pretending to be a literary enthusiast. 'What a stupid idea! Go to hell!' he thought.

"Alright, alright. I'm trying to think of another way. Don't give up now. If it still doesn't work, we need to change our tactics. I don't believe she won't be fooled."

Yulia didn't expect that things didn't go as she had expected. She told Perry about it and then thought about how to arrange for an encounter between them. Since Melinda was an introvert, Perry wouldn't succeed if she didn't push forward,

In an attempt to attract Melinda, the man Yulia had called was handsome.

The next day, Yulia proposed to take Melinda out for fun and make some new friends. Her intimate behavior surprised everyone.

"No, thanks. I don't like strangers," Melinda politely declined.

Melinda could see from Yulia's eyes that she was up to something bad. 'Does she think I'm that stupid to go out with her? What on earth is she planning anyway?' Melinda thought.

"Come on. There's no harm in making new friends,"

Yulia said in dissatisfaction. 'Humph! Who does she think she is? Does she think she's too good to get to know other people?'

"I have to finish my work today and hand it in tomorrow. Really, I don't have time," Melinda emphasized.

Hearing this, Nelson thought that Yulia was making trouble once again. Already, he had a hunch that the friends Yulia knew couldn't possibly be nice people.

Disdain was written all over Nelson's face.

"Stop pestering her, Yulia! Let Mellie do her writing. And shouldn't you stop going out so much to have 'fun'? Haven't you learned from the last incident?"

These so-called friends of Yulia's were the ones who betrayed her at a crucial moment. Yulia remembered her past of being cheated. Her face turned pale and she grew more resentful towards Melinda. If it wasn't her grandfather's concern for Melinda, he wouldn't have even remembered the bad things that happened to Yulia.

"Grandpa, I've changed,"

Yulia said sadly, with her eyes full of hatred. But nobody noticed that since she kept her head down.

"You said that you started a business a few days ago. Now how is it going? Don't just be idle about it. Maybe you should start finding a real job. You are not a child anymore. What's more, don't you think it's time to find a boyfriend?"

Nelson said. There was reluctance in Yulia's eyes. Meanwhile, Melinda was watching them silently and had a lot of mixed feelings. At the same time, she was a little curious about Yulia starting her own business. How could it be possible?

"Okay, go now, Yulia,"

Nelson sighed. He did not know whether Yulia had changed or not, bu

e are a good match as well."

"I don't think there's anyone suitable for you,"

the man scoffed. Afterwards, he put down the things in his hand and left. Yulia looked at him discontentedly with anger in her eyes and sneered at him in her heart.

When she got back home, Nelson found out what happened. He scolded Yulia for a while and had his people reimburse the money the man had spent on her. But the man didn't accept it, and just figured to take this experience as a lesson for him.

When Nelson arranged another blind date for Yulia, she refused. "All the men you try and set me up with are mean," she reasoned. "Besides, relationships are bound to end sooner or later.

Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry now. Don't worry about me."

In Yulia's eyes, no one was good enough for her. Recently, since she had been going on dates with so many guys, Melinda was becoming the apple of everyone's eyes in her family.

In order to deal with Melinda, she would rather keep a foothold in the Gu family than relying on those who attempted to make use of her family's wealth and power.

"Melinda, Grandpa always says that you are physically weak. But it can't be good for you to stay at home all the time, now can it? Would you like to go to the gym with me and work out?"

Yulia asked Melinda in front of Nelson on purpose. There was a gym in the Gu's mansion. But most of the time, Jonas was the only one who used it. Because of this, Yulia didn't want to use it, and often had to go out to go to a different gym.

"Yeah, sure. That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?" Nelson said. Since Nelson was eager about this plan, Melinda could not show her disapproval, and could only agree with a smile on her face.

'This isn't like her at all. This must be some kind of trick,' Melinda thought.

Yulia was indeed scheming against her. Since Melinda had been staying at home for these days, Yulia's plan could not be carried out. Meanwhile, Perry had said that Melinda was a tough nut to crack.

Every single time, his flirting attempt with Melinda failed. Even when she appeared to be in a good mood, she would do nothing but sneer at him.

That was why Yulia wanted to take Melinda out. Some things couldn't be done just through the phone.
