Early in the morning, Luo Chen was woken up. Shen Yuelan threw a brand new casual suit at him. The navy blue jacket made his already straight figure stand even prouder, like a long spear.
Following Shen Yuelan’s instructions, Luo Chen spent ages on his hair. The whole process of dressing and grooming took a full hour before she let him go.
Then she looked at her son with growing satisfaction.
“With this makeover, you do look quite handsome,” she commented, resting her chin on one hand.
Just as she spoke, a loud knocking rang out.
Shen Yuelan opened the door. Li Yingying stood outside.
Originally, Li Yingying had truly wanted to match her daughter Li Jiayi with Luo Chen.
But clearly neither of them was interested, and Shen Yuelan had chatted with Li Yingying the night before.
In the end, they gave up and decided to help Luo Chen find an ordinary girl for a blind date.
Shen Yuelan did not have many requirements. As long as Luo Chen liked the girl, it was fine. She did not care about family background, looks, or origins.
The group drove to a Western style cafe.
The cafe’s atmosphere was quite suitable for blind dates. The soft, warm lighting made it look perfect for dates.
But when Shen Yuelan and the others entered, they froze.
Li Jiayi, Shen Junfeng, and others were actually all there.
Shen Yuelan looked at Li Yingying, her face full of confusion.
“I only mentioned it to Jiayi once. I did not expect she would tell the Shen family,” Li Yingying said apologetically. Clearly, if these people had come, they were planning to cause trouble.
But it was too late to change locations now.
“Aunt Yuelan, I heard you want to arrange a blind date for little brother Chen?” Shen Junfeng asked with a smile.
At that moment, even Shen Yuelan as an elder struggled to keep her composure. After calming herself, she ignored Shen Junfeng completely.
Luo Chen, however, was stunned. He looked at Shen Yuelan in shock.
Clearly, even he had not expected things to turn out this way.
His own mum had actually set him up, forcing him into a blind date.
Seeing his surprised gaze, Shen Yuelan coughed awkwardly.
“Since we are here, we cannot retreat at the last minute, right?” She patted Luo Chen’s shoulder and said seriously.
At that moment, Luo Chen suddenly felt both amused and exasperated.
He was a mighty Immortal Venerable. He had once been the envy of the immortal world. How many fairy maidens and holy maidens had married him and become his Dao companions.
And now this. His own mum had played this trick on him.
If word got out that he had come to a blind date, people would laugh their heads off.
This was indeed his real mum.
A mum who truly knew how to mess with her son.
“Go sit down first.” Shen Yuelan pushed Luo Chen onto another sofa.
“Jiayi, what are you doing?” Li Yingying was clearly unhappy. Her daughter had not only come herself but had also brought Shen family members to watch the spectacle.
“Mum, I will explain later,” Li Jiayi said.
Actually, this was quite a coincidence, because the blind date girl was someone Li Jiayi knew.
Thinking of this, Li Jiayi became even more certain that Luo Chen had no chance today.
Because she knew this girl somewhat. The girl had decent taste, commonly speaking, quite high standards, quite picky.
She was afraid that with Luo Chen’s family background, education, and status, the girl would not look up to him at all.
Soon two people entered. One was a woman in her thirties, dressed quite fashionably, carrying a designer handbag. One look told you she lived a comfortable life.
She was Wang Xiulian, a matchmaker.
The girl beside her was somewhat eye-catching. It was not that she was exceptionally beautiful. Without makeup, although she had some looks, she would definitely not rank as a great beauty.
But she was dressed exceptionally flashily.
A slit dress revealing a snow white thigh. Sky high heels adding a few points to her looks. Beneath her long hair, black sunglasses covered her eyes, but her face showed at a glance that she was proud and arrogant.
A look that said strangers should keep away.
“Sister Yuelan.” Wang Xiulian greeted Shen Yuelan first, then spoke.
“This is your son? He looks quite presentable.” As a matchmaker, Wang Xiulian praised people upon meeting. It was not that she truly meant it, just a professional habit.
“Let me introduce you. This is Liu Qian. Do not let her single status fool you, her conditions are absolutely superior.” Wang Xiulian praised her, though it was unclear if this was true.
But looking at Liu Qian’s proud expression, perhaps her conditions were indeed not bad.
“Hello Qianqian.” Shen Yuelan generously extended her hand, while pinching Luo Chen, forcing him to say hello helplessly.
“No need. Let us start directly. I still have things to do later.” Liu Qian spoke coldly, completely ignoring Shen Yuelan’s outstretched hand.
Then she sat down directly.
This made Shen Yuelan withdraw her hand somewhat awkwardly, and made Luo Chen frown slightly.
But Liu Qian did not care at all. Honestly, her first impression of Luo Chen was not particularly good. Although he looked quite handsome and was dressed cleanly and neatly.
He did not quite match her aesthetic preferences. She preferred the fair, clean, fresh faced pretty boy type.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, had a masculine air about him, full of ruggedness.
Most importantly, Luo Chen’s appearance had no shining points at all. Looking at his clothes, they were only worth a few tens of thousands. There was quite a gap compared to the rich heirs and young masters she had expected.
Li Jiayi saw this scene and became even more convinced of her own judgment, shaking her head to the side.
One look and you could tell this would definitely not work out today.
Shen Junfeng sneered coldly. He had prepared a surprise for Luo Chen.
“How is your income?” Liu Qian asked directly.
“Unemployed vagrant.” Luo Chen was already being perfunctory. If Shen Yuelan were not here, he would have walked out long ago.
“Mm. Does your family own a house within Yanjing’s first ring road?” Liu Qian asked proudly again.
Luo Chen shook his head.
“What is your education level?”
“Miss, our family savings are decent. We currently have nearly one hundred million.” Shen Yuelan, seeing that things were going badly, hurriedly interjected.
“Oh?” Liu Qian raised her eyebrows, hesitating slightly.
Then she looked at Luo Chen and began sizing him up continuously.
“Miss, why do you not introduce yourself as well?” Shen Yuelan pushed a cup of coffee toward Liu Qian.
“Me?”
“Also an unemployed vagrant, no job. But my education is decent, graduated from college, worked as a nurse for two years.” “I also have a younger sister at university at home. If we marry, you must cover part of her tuition fees.”
