Chapter 238 Blind Date
In order to gain everyone's forgiveness, Shen Shilan agreed to the blind date arranged for him by his mother, Xiang Jiahui.
The Shen family has many connections in Hong Kong, and many socialites and heiresses want to marry into the family.
In order not to waste this hard-won opportunity to get Shen Shilan to agree to a blind date, Xiang Jiahui arranged more than a dozen for him.
We meet several people each day, and the time slots for each person are all clearly arranged.
"Mom, isn't this too much? Will my second brother be able to manage it?"
Looking at the pile of photos and everyone's information on the table, Shen Wanning couldn't help but feel sorry for her second brother.
"What do you mean 'so many'? We finally caught him, so we're going to make the most of it. Otherwise, who knows when the next opportunity will come? There are so many outstanding girls this time, I don't believe he won't be interested in any of them, unless he's gay."
Having finally managed to get under his thumb, Xiang Jia Hui wanted nothing more than forcing Shen Shi Lan to go on blind dates 24/7, hoping to win him over with sheer volume.
"Mom, what if my second brother is really gay?"
Shen Wanning carefully observed her mother's expression.
"Even if it's gay, you still have to bring one back for me to see."
She wasn't the kind of stubborn old woman. Although she wasn't entirely in favor of it, if the child really liked it, she could only let him have his way.
Ultimately, it's their life, and as long as they're happy, that's all that matters.
Over the next few days, Shen Shilan embarked on his disastrous blind date journey.
However, he borrowed someone from Shen Wanning, saying it was to improve efficiency and facilitate better teamwork.
"What? Borrow the child? Second brother, what are you doing taking the child to a blind date?"
Isn't this just pure mischief?
"Don't worry about it. I have a use for you anyway. Don't worry, I won't deliberately cause trouble. Your brother isn't that tasteless."
Shen Wanning looked at him with suspicion. Why didn't she believe him?
However, in the end, Le Bao was still borrowed by his uncle.
Not only Le Bao, but also Lu Shulang in the same industry.
The blind date was held in a high-end club, where privacy was well maintained.
Lu Shulang and Le Bao sat at the table opposite Shen Shilan, eating small cakes.
Shen Shilan had already told them that if he covered his mouth and pretended to cough, it meant he wasn't satisfied, and they could come over and cause trouble however they wanted, as he would cover for them. After it was all over, each of them could choose any gift they wanted at the mall.
"Remember, bring out your usual mischievous and unruly energy, the more mischievous the better, your uncle will back you up."
Before the people arrived, Shen Shilan was still giving instructions to the two of them.
"Howling Uncle."
The chubby girl was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what her uncle said.
Lu Shulang scratched his head, feeling that something was off about what he was saying; it wasn't anything nice.
However, even though he realized it, he was interrupted by the person who came before he could process it.
Today's first blind date is a woman with heavy makeup. Her family sent her abroad to "gild" her resume, and when she came back, she kept praising how great it was abroad and complaining about how bad it was in China.
"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time."
Number 1 sat down in a flamboyant manner, her rich fragrance almost making Shen Shilan's leftover dinner smell out.
Shen Shilan wrinkled his nose, looking at the pretentious woman opposite him, but held back because of his mother's wire harness.
"Have we met before?"
He has no recollection of this.
"You've forgotten that we spoke at the banquet earlier."
Shen Shilan didn't argue with her about the topic, but raised an eyebrow, remaining noncommittal.
Seeing that he didn't refute her, the woman thought she had a chance and started to exert her influence.
She was dressed extremely daringly, in a low-cut mini-skirt.
She bent slightly at the waist, revealing both her upper and lower body.
She spoke in broken English, talking incessantly about the freedom abroad and how good the air was overseas.
Shen Shilan was too lazy to hold back any longer, so he covered his mouth and coughed softly.
But the two little ones opposite him were so engrossed in eating their desserts that they didn't even glance in his direction.
"Cough cough cough."
Shen Shilan coughed more loudly.
"Mr. Shen, are you feeling unwell?"
The woman opposite tried to touch Shen Shilan, but Shen Shilan blocked her with her hand.
"Cough cough cough cough."
Shen Shilan's throat was almost dry from coughing, but the little guy over there finally saw it.
Le Bao had a ring of cream on her lips and stared at her uncle with her big, blurry eyes, completely forgetting Shen Shilan's instructions.
"Little sister, it's our turn to go on stage."
Despite being a few years older, Lu Shulang remembered their mission.
After his older brother reminded him, the chubby boy finally remembered.
The two of them ran hand in hand to Shen Shilan. Before leaving, the chubby boy grabbed a small cake in each hand.
"Daddy, are you going to find us a new mommy?"
"dad?"
The woman stood up in surprise, looking at the two children standing next to Shen Shilan.
"Let me introduce you, this is my son and daughter."
Shen Shilan patted their heads and told them to come over and say hello to their future mother.
The two ran over, each grabbing one of the legs. Le Bao, his hands covered in cream, smeared it directly onto the woman's black stockings.
She even reached out and started picking at the hole in the woman's black stockings, making it bigger and bigger.
"What are you doing?"
She exclaimed and shoved Le Bao, who stumbled back two steps before being caught by Shen Shilan.
When Lu Shulang saw his sister being pushed, he punched her twice and ran to Le Bao's side to hug her.
Shen Shilan's face turned ashen, and he stared sharply at the woman.
Anyone who dares to push his precious child is asking for trouble.
"Mr. Shen... I didn't mean to, I... I just..."
When the woman saw Shen Shilan's expression, she seemed to realize what she had done.
The man opposite her was not someone she could afford to mess with.
"roll."
The simple word, uttered by Shen Shilan, was like a soul-summoning spell in the dead of night; a moment's hesitation would mean certain death.
The woman, no longer caring about her disheveled state, scrambled away.
"Uncle, is this the second one?"
This time, Le Bao didn't cry. She just looked at the small cake that had fallen on the ground, then bent down to pick it up and held it to Shen Shilan's mouth.
Shen Shilan looked at the chubby boy's hands covered in cream and the cake he had picked up from the ground, and his lips twitched. "You really are my good nephew."
"Ah, Uncle?"
Le Bao's hands were tired from holding them up, but his uncle still wouldn't open his mouth.
Given the previous experience, Shen Shilan dared not refuse this time.
He was afraid that he would offend the ancestor he had finally managed to win back, and the price would be too high; he couldn't afford to offend him.
So, despite feeling nauseous, he closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and ate the piece of cake that his nephew had picked up from the ground.
"Hehehe."
Seeing his uncle eat it, the chubby boy finally smiled and then licked the cream off his fingers.
The first blind date ended faster than expected, so Shen Shilan struck while the iron was hot and brought forward all the subsequent ones.
In just one morning, Shen Shilan, with the help of the two little ones, managed to meet everyone he had met that day, demonstrating an astonishingly high level of efficiency.
Shen Shilan spent the afternoon playing with the two little ones all over the city until very late at night before returning home.
