Chapter 80 - Blind Date

Judging from her makeup, she must have been a well-known lady with an impressive family background.

Qin Gengxin walked towards that woman. Where were his other friends?

Jiang Ruolan felt confused, but since they were already here, she had no choice but to follow him.

Qin Gengxin had a cool smile on his face. It was so cool that Jiang Ruolan wanted to vomit blood. "Beautiful girl, sorry for being late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Zi Hanying looked at him in astonishment. When she saw his face, her eyes were filled with amazement.

She then glanced at his clothes. Initially, they were all perfect until she saw that eye-catching tie. Zi Hanying's eyebrows secretly knitted together, but the frown disappeared in the blink of an eye. She smiled softly. "It's okay. I know that traffic jams are severe around here."

What was going on? Jiang Ruolan was stupefied.

Could it be that this grandson, Qin Gengxin, dragged her into a blind date?

Qin Gengxin immediately sat down. At this moment, Zi Hanying saw Jiang Ruolan behind him and looked at her in shock.

"This is Miss Jiang, my personal assistant. I'm sorry, I had to bring her along because we have some work to do. Do you mind?" Qin Gengxin said with a beaming smile.

"Oh, personal assistant." She looked at Jiang Ruolan with contempt, as if she was just honey who had to be taken care of by her superiors.

Jiang Ruolan was about to throw a tantrum when Qin Gengxin suddenly pulled her down, forcing her to sit beside him.

Zi Hanying witnessed his intimate actions against her (Jiang Ruolan) in shock. Her eyes gradually turned cold, but she still maintained her composure and said, "Mr. Qin is very concerned with his personal assistant."

"I take good care of my subordinates." Qin Gengxin boasted shamelessly before calling for the waiter.

Meanwhile, Zi Hanying was looking at Jiang Ruolan with a contemptuous and arrogant look, which seemed to be saying, 'You, a little secretary, want to climb the branch and become a phoenix? At most, you would be a little honey for someone like Qin Gengxin. Eventually, he will throw you away'.

Jiang Ruolan was furious with the cynical look from Zi Hanying but this was not the place for her to make a fuss. She glared fiercely at Qin Gengxin, who was holding the menu and secretly pinched his leg.

The man acted as if she was not there. He didn't even bother showing any courtesy by giving the menu to her. He only glanced at Zi Hanying, "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

"Then three bowls of ramen." Qin Gengxin said while flipping the menu to the cheapest page.

Jiang Ruolan almost spat out.

After waiting for a long time, he only ordered three bowls of ramen?

The waiter was also surprised. Qin Gengxin's appearance did not indicate that he was not someone who couldn't afford to come to a place like this. The waiter restrained the contempt in his eyes and politely said, "What about the drink?"

"Give me three cups of free boiled water." Qin Gengxin hurriedly said before Zi Hanying's face turned green.

The waiter wordlessly took the menu, and without another word, he turned around and left.

Zi Hanying's face can no longer be described as green anymore. She gritted her teeth silently.

"I heard that you are the only daughter of the Zi Family, Miss Zi?" Qin Gengxin smiled naturally.

Zi Hanying's ugly expression slowly faded into a light smile. "Yes, I heard that Mr. Qin had come to the United States to take over the Qin Company, and now the company has been considered as the trump card of the first and second class of Boston, it is truly admirable."

"I don't dare to say so. Anyway, I don't have the shares in the company." Qin Gengxin said without hesitation.

The smile on Zi Hanying's face immediately disappeared, "Stock rights... Not in your hands?"

The waiter brought drinks to their table. Qin Gengxin took a sip, and said without raising his head, "That's right, Miss Zi. If you were pleased and compatible with this blind date, let us get married. After we get married, will we stay in your villa or the garden apartment in District X? And your shares in the Zi Family, will they be transferred to me too?"

Zi Hanying took a deep breath and tried to maintain her ladylike demeanour. "Mr. Qin, I think you have misunderstood."

"Misunderstood what?"

"I think my father didn't know about the Qin Family enough."

When three small bowls of ramen noodles were served, Zi Hanying could no longer hold it and she immediately frowned. "I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first!"

As she spoke, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Ah, Miss Zi, did you bring any change?" Suddenly, Qin Gengxin turned around and glanced at her.

Zi Hanying looked at him in shock, "What? Change?"

"I didn't bring my money, and these three bowls of noodles seemed very expensive. Look--"

Zi Hanying's face immediately turned black. She quickly took out the pink note from her bag and stuffed it into the shocked waiter's hands. Then she ran out of the restaurant without looking back.

Seeing the woman leave angrily, Jiang Ruolan turned her gaze to Qin Gengxin, who was eating noodles, "A blind date, huh?"

Qin Gengxin put down his chopsticks and casually wiped his mouth with a tissue as he glanced back at her with a smile that was not a smile. "My parents forced me to get married as soon as possible. While I was in Boston, they tried to introduce young women from the famous clan, and after that travelling back to H City, they still tried to get me to go on a blind date. They have made an appointment with Old Zi, and wanted me to meet their daughter here today."

"So you let me act out a play with you?" Jiang Ruolan's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

"How is it? This grandfather's acting isn't bad, is it?" Qin Gengxin laughed softly and whispered in her ear, "The food in this restaurant is not good. If you want to eat anything, we can go to another restaurant."

"Forget it. I'm not rich and I can't afford to hire you to accompany me!" Jiang Ruolan's face darkened.

Qin Gengxin immediately smiled brightly until his eyes sparkled. "I will not charge you and I won't mistreat you. I will be a good partner for you."

"Stop speaking nonsense." Jiang Ruolan stood up speechlessly. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Don't look for me with matters like this next time. Personal secretary? Who wants to be your personal assistant?! Why don't you just say I'm your f*ck buddies."

"If you are willing, I can let you be my f*ck buddies." Qin Gengxin grinned shamelessly.

"Shut up!" Jiang Ruolan pushed him away and glared at him.

Qin Gengxin smiled wickedly. "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous your head! You clearly said that you would have dinner with your friends and have to bring a girlfriend? You pretended to be sad, so I had to accompany you here. In the end, you put on such a show! Qin Gengxin, I beg you, please don't be like this! Enough. Please don't force me to do something that I don't want to. I am no longer Jiang Ruolan from the past."

Seeing her getting angry, Qin Gengxin only smiled faintly, but his smile was one of helplessness.

"Now I just want to forget all the memories from the last seven years, including yours!" Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and turned to leave.

"I just missed that one time, and you won't even give me a chance?" Qin Gengxin's voice was faint behind her.

She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him.

Qin Gengxin looked deeply at the alienation and doubt in her eyes. He shook his head, "Forget it. I shouldn't have left that month. If I had, you wouldn't have left me."

After saying that, he stood up, "Let's go, I'll send you off."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Ruolan looked at his back as he walked out of the restaurant. She immediately followed him. She saw him walk towards the red Ferrari without looking back.

She slowed her pace and followed him until she was in his car.

Qin Gengxin was looking at her coldly. Jiang Ruolan swallowed her saliva and asked, "Hey, what are you trying to say?"

"You women ..." He glanced at her and sighed softly, "Are you even a woman? Do you really have a brain? Why are you so stupid?"

"You're the one who doesn't have a brain!"

Qin Gengxin no longer spoke. He remained silent as the car drove along the road.

It wasn't until they drove towards the station near Greenville Residence, they saw the police cars circling the Carlmore Bridge from a distance.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar black Land Rover parked at the end of the bridge. When she saw the familiar license plate number, she hastily called for Qin Gengxin to stop the car.
