Chapter 264 Chapter 252: Entering the Wrong Set

Translator: 549690339 I

Zhu Daodao laughed, “I’m just an ordinary worker and don’t have great abilities, so I don’t want to hold you back. It’s true that my father wants me to settle down, but we can’t just blindly enter marriage just for that. It wouldn’t be responsible for cither of us.”

Shuixian silently digested this, as a girl who studied science tends to be more direct in her thinking. She even deduced some other points from the polite words of others.

“So, what you’re saying is that you didn’t actually like me?” Her pride was slightly hurt, although she originally thought it was just to go through the motions for her family. But when someone didn’t like her, the young girl was a little hurt.

“That’s not what I mean. I’m not good enough for you. I can tell that you are a very good girl, really.” Zhu Daodao’s explanation did not put the rational girl at ease.

“If you could see, would you still need to bump into the dining car?” So in other words, not only was she disliked by a man of uncle’s age, but she was also disliked by only hearing her voice!

Zhu Daodao was a very talkative person, otherwise, Yu Minglang wouldn’t give him such a nickname.

But today it seemed like the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made. Although he couldn’t see clearly, he had already sensed the anger spreading from Shuixian.

“Maybe I didn’t speak tactfully enough. What I meant to say is that your family background might make you feel wronged by being with me. Of course, your personal qualities are very good and you will definitely find a man who is many times better than me.”

However, this explanation was even worse than not giving one.

“Since you’ve known about my family background from the start, why did you still come? It’s nothing more than using me as a shield to appease your family. I’m very disappointed in your behavior. I also heard that you were quite impressive before, but is this how you dare to act now?”

Shuixian’s anger left Zhu Daodao at a loss, and he felt sorry for the girl. After all, his father could only be gently appeased, not forcefully rejected, so he could only resort to this expedient solution. But he didn’t know how to pacify the girl when she was angry. However, one thing had to be rectified.

“I have lived in the old unit for many years, and although I may have less contact with the outside world, we are still daring to take responsibility. There isn’t the kind of situation you mentioned.” He used to do ideological and political work, and if he touched on this topic, he could talk for an hour without even needing a drink of water. This was a matter of principle.

“Did you come like this for the previous blind dates?” Xiao Qian, who had watched enough of the excitement, asked. How did this kind of guy survive until now and not be beaten to death by someone?

“For the previous ones, they all rejected me, so it was easy—did I say something wrong again?”

Shuixian’s face looked very, very bad. So she was fortunate to be the first blind date he rejected?

“Oh…” Xiao Qian couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

She always thought that Yu Minglang was a person who was particularly bad at speaking. Now it seemed that Minglang was actually quite clever.

“It’s okay. Even if you didn’t reject me, Uncle, I would have rejected you anyway. We are so unsuitable. I didn’t say it earlier because I’m polite, so please don’t misunderstand that I have any other intentions!” Shuixian said through gritted teeth.

“You’re right!” Zhu Daodao echoed, and Xiao Qian shook her head.

This kind of man should just stay single for a lifetime, and not marry and harm others.

This man was not her benefactor.

After only a short interaction, Xiao Qian had a strong feeling that her benefactor was a very domineering person. His words and deeds revealed a power and iron-bloodedness. He was definitely not a man who could be swayed by a young girl.

“Manager Zhu, may I ask if there’s anyone in your unit who has the same handwriting as you?” Xiao Qian was ready to rethink her approach.

“The same handwriting?” Zhu Daodao tilted his head to think. Suddenly, an image of a man with both arrogance and calmness flashed in his mind.

As Xiao Qian was waiting for his answer, suddenly, Zhu Daodao, following his intuition, hugged Lily Tang and tipped her to the side while pushing Xiao Qian away with his other hand.

“Bang!” There was a loud noise.

An advertisement fell from an unknown floor and landed exactly where they had just been standing.

Although Zhu Daodao’s vision was temporarily blurred, his sixth sense told him that there was danger.

Xiao Qian and Shuixian were startled by the advertisement falling out of the blue, but they were not injured because Zhu Daodao’s reaction was timely.

“Are you okay?” Zhu Daodao asked, holding Shuixian.

Shuixian’s face turned pale, pointing to his arm with trembling hands.

Warm liquid dripped onto her face, and she wiped it with her trembling hand, revealing a patch of red.

“It’s okay, I just got hit by some shattered pieces… might be a little fracture?”

Zhu Daodao tried to move his arm but couldn’t.

When the light box fell, it scraped him a bit. To see how bad the injury is, they had to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

“Ah, does it hurt a lot?” Shuixian wanted to look but didn’t dare touch it. He was injured because of saving her!

Xiao Qian hurriedly took out her phone to call an ambulance and pointed at the staff who had come over.

“Call your person in charge, tell him that there was a safety lapse, and he’s in trouble now.”

In order to save Shuixian and Xiao Qian, Zhu Dexi’s arm was injured. Shuixian took him to the hospital while Xiao Qian stayed behind to negotiate compensation with the person in charge. When everything was sorted out and Xiao Qian arrived at the hospital, Zhu Daodao’s arm had already been fixed.

The parents from both families had arrived.

Tang Daye was chatting with Zhu Daodao’s mother.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, look at this situation. Dexi got injured while saving my daughter, I’m really sorry about it.”

Zhu Daodao’s mother didn’t show any sadness at all. Her son was nearly crushed like Yang Guo, but she still seemed to have a hint of joy. Xiao Qian almost thought she had misread it.

“It’s okay. Although this kid has read a bit more, his mind is very single-minded. He is brave and willing to take responsibility, which his father and I have always taught him well. Even when he gets married in the future, he will definitely take his wife’s feelings into account.”

“Yes, yes, I also really appreciate Dexi in this aspect.”

Xiao Qian felt that she must have gone to the wrong place. This was not a hospital but a movie set, right?

In fact, at this moment, Mother Zhu’s inner feelings were quite excited. Her son had not succeeded in blind dates ten times in a row and had been rejected every time. But this time, he finally found a way. Even if he wasn’t hit, he would still have suffered injuries in the past while working at the unit. This time, the injury was just right.

Tang Daye saw Xiao Qian coming in and greeted her warmly.

“Xiao Chen, you’re here.”

Ever since Xiao Qian successfully treated Shuixian’s anorexia, Tang Daye had changed his address for Xiao Qian to the more intimate “Xiao Chen.”

Xiao Qian told Tang Daye about the treatment results.

“When they were renovating upstairs, there was a slip, and the advertisement fell down. They are willing to compensate for all the lost wages and hospital fees. I didn’t reply to them directly, so both of your families can decide how to handle it..”
