Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 316 Blind Date

At this moment, Mu Li turned to look at Shen Shanshan beside her and asked with concern:

"Shanshan, I heard you met a boy yesterday. How did it go?"

Shen Shanshan shook her head, frowned, and replied:

"Ugh, don't even mention it, he's really no good, I don't like him at all."

"What kind of boy can finally catch the eye of our beautiful and charming Shanshan? Look at how many blind dates she's been on! 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times..."

As Mu Li counted on her fingers, she looked at Shen Shanshan in surprise, seemingly incredulous at her frequent blind dates.

"Hey, stop, stop! It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be. It's just that I'm not as lucky as you. You took a liking to that handsome guy Wang Bin at first sight and easily won him over. But me, I haven't met anyone I feel anything for yet."

Shen Shanshan shook her head helplessly, a bitter smile on her face.

At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi couldn't help but interject:

"Shanshan, to be honest, aren't your standards a bit too high? Don't be so picky, just settle for something decent."

"Yes, I think so too."

Yan Meili nodded quickly in agreement, and then added,

"Actually, many boys are quite good, but I don't know why you always look down on them."

Hearing everyone say that, Shen Shanshan couldn't help but pout and retort:

"No, that's not it! I just haven't met my soulmate yet. You can't rush things when it comes to fate."

Just then, Zhu Jing spoke up:

"I think Shanshan is right. Everyone has their own standards and pursuits. Maybe it's just that the time isn't right yet. Perhaps one day Shanshan will meet the person who is truly right for her."

"Zhu Jinghao understands me best!"

Shen Shanshan winked gratefully at Zhu Jing, and the two smiled at each other.

Seeing this, the others also stopped saying anything, after all, only the parties involved truly know the truth about matters of the heart.

"Girls, dinner's ready!"

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Zhu Jing's gentle and kind mother came over with a smile and greeted them.

As soon as he finished speaking, several girls, like a flock of cheerful little birds, swarmed toward the dining table, chattering excitedly.

The table was laden with delicious dishes, and the aroma wafted through the air.

While enjoying their meal, everyone chatted happily about interesting things in their lives.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to discuss where to go next.

After some discussion, they finally decided to go to Muli and Wang Bin's cozy little house.

Because Muli and Wang Bin had their own sweet little home after marriage, without the interference of elders, it naturally became a happy place for everyone to gather.

At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi said considerately to Muli:

"Muli, you're pregnant now, and it's not easy for you to move around. Let's go over and keep you company today, and then we can go home for dinner tonight."

Upon hearing this, Mu Li smiled happily and responded softly:

"Oh, Zhao Di, you can rest assured! Wang Bin doesn't have to go to work this afternoon. He'll be back in a little while, and he'll be in charge of cooking. We just need to have fun."

Looking at Mu Li's radiant happiness, Yan Meili couldn't help but tease her:

"Look at how sweet Muli looks! It's so enviable! She's living such a wonderful life!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Just then, Shen Shanshan suddenly spoke up:

"Um... I'm sorry, ladies, I can't go with you guys yet. I have to go on a blind date later, and I'll meet up with you guys after that."

Upon hearing this, Yan Meili quickly advised:

"Hey Shanshan, why are you going on another blind date? How many blind dates has your mom arranged for you? Just pick one that's good enough, don't be too picky. After all, dating doesn't mean you have to get married right away."

There are only 3 people left to meet before the new year, and the boy I'm meeting today is currently studying in Shanghai and won't be able to come back until the winter break.

This was arranged personally by the Empress Dowager. If I didn't go and deal with it, she would definitely make things difficult for me again! Thinking of this, Shen Shanshan smiled helplessly and waved her hand before riding away on her bicycle.

Meanwhile, Zhao Zhaodi and the others arrived at Muli's house.

Because the snow outside had not completely melted, and because Muli was pregnant and had difficulty moving around, everyone decided to push their bicycles and walk home with her.

Fortunately, Mu Li's house is relatively close to Zhu Jing's house, so even walking back slowly would only take about ten minutes.

Meanwhile, Shen Shanshan had arrived at the teahouse outside the Beijing Library at the agreed time.

When she entered the teahouse, she immediately spotted the young man sitting by the window.

The young man was intently reading the newspaper in his hands, sunlight streaming through the window and bathing him in a soft golden glow.

Shen Shanshan tiptoed over, walked straight to the boy, and then politely began to speak:

"Hello, I'm Shen Shanshan. Are you Mao Xiaofeng?"

Upon hearing the voice, the boy slowly raised his head, looked at Shen Shanshan in front of him, and gave a gentle smile, nodding slightly in response.

At that moment, Shen Shanshan finally saw the boy's face clearly.

It must be admitted that the boy in front of me is very handsome, with a delicate face and well-defined features, especially his deep eyes, which are as bright and captivating as stars twinkling in the night sky.

With just a fleeting glance, Shen Shanshan could sense that, in terms of appearance alone, this boy was exactly the type she liked.

"Hello, Shen Shanshan! I'm Mao Xiaofeng!"

Mao Xiaofeng stood up with a big smile and warmly extended his right hand to Shen Shanshan to shake hands.

He stood tall and straight, dressed in a well-fitting suit, looking exceptionally energetic.

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Shanshan was slightly taken aback at first, but then quickly came to her senses. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she extended her slender hand to gently shake hands with Mao Xiaofeng.

"Please have a seat, Miss Shen. What would you like to drink? It's on me today!"

As Mao Xiaofeng spoke, he gestured for Shen Shanshan to sit down.

Shen Shanshan sat down gracefully, smoothed her hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Then I'll have a cup of black tea, please."

Mao Xiaofeng then waved to the waiter.
