Chapter 444: The Blind Date Went Wrong

nd the others also came over, it didn't seem like they were busy with official business.Qiao Bao'er lazily leaned against the railing of the corridor, raising her head to watch Lu Qinan, who was hurry..."Grandpa, can I go to the Lu family with you too"

Although Elder Master Jun had some reservations about her behavior before, he readily agreed, "Then you go with your aunts."

"Dad, I don't want her to come with us!" Aunt Three immediately objected, " ... How can you always favor her."

The old man glared at her, not allowing her to retort.

This time it wasn't that the elder was favoring Qiao Baier, mainly because Jun Zhiyan was too introverted. Even someone with discernment could see that Jun Zhiyan liked to be close to Qiao Baier.

"This time, you guys go to the Lu family and just probe around. You can't force this kind of thing."

"Aunt Three smiled and replied, 'Where would we force someone Our Yēn is beautiful and elegant. Finding such a well-behaved and gentle girl is already difficult, the Lu family would definitely agree.'"

Several women got into a black, extended Bugatti. As the younger generation, Qiao Baoer naturally sat in the back row with Jun Zhiyan, while the three aunts sat next to Jiang Meili.

"My dad doesn't know what he's thinking. He arranged a marriage for Zhiyan and even said he prefers the child from the Lu family, but the problem is that such a wealthy family like the Lu family wouldn't need money and would probably disagree. This time it was definitely a waste of effort."

Auntie San laughed mischievously, completely ignoring that Jun Zhiyan was also in the car.

Jo Bao'er glanced ahead. Her third aunt wasn't speaking like this in front of the elder just now, was she Isn't this clearly going to watch a joke

Turning his head to look at Jun Zhiyan, although he was wary of her, when someone said such embarrassing things to her face, Jun Zhiyan acted as if she hadn't heard anything at all.

Jun's beauty sat gracefully, her eyes fixed steadily on the windshield. Her pretty and clean face held no expression.

Qiao Baoer really doesn't understand, what kind of woman is Jun Zhiyan Is she naive or pretending to be innocent

At 12 o'clock noon, they arrived at the Lu family on time.

Lu's mother personally went to the outer gate to greet them. Lu Qinian also changed into a new suit, looking particularly handsome and stylish. He greeted them with a charming smile, his every move exhibiting the demeanor of a well-bred gentleman. Such an exemplary son-in-law impressed both Aunt San and Jiang Meili quite favorably.

"No wonder my dad took a liking to Lu Si's son, this guy is really great, obedient and filial..."

After a few people had lunch at Lu's house, Aunt San walked up to Jiang Meili and whispered something in her ear. Women their age, in their fifties, were most proud of having an obedient son. Lu Qinian was absolutely obedient to his mother and was particularly good at making people happy.

"What do you think of our Zhiyan" asked Aunt Three, very directly.

After the meal, Lu's mother went to the kitchen and cut out two plates of fruit. The Lu family disliked using servants, finding an outsider in the house uncomfortable. They cooked and cleaned personally, making their home feel more down-to-earth and warm compared to other families.

Compared to her aunt and Jiang Meili who were sitting in the living room waiting for dinner, Qiao Bao'er looked at Lu's mother, who was the same age as her, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Qinian. She envied him for being so good at choosing his birth family. The Lu family had such a good home environment.

Mother Lu smiled with her eyes, sat down and continued chatting with them, praising, "Zhiyan is gentle and well-behaved, and she's so pretty..."

"Oh, you have no idea, our Jun family has spent quite a lot of money on her."

Auntie Three seemed to have ulterior motives and quickly interrupted, " ... The only reason she can't go to school is because of her autism. The cost of hiring private tutors at home alone would be enough to cover the tuition for an entire class of students. She can only communicate with a few relatives nearby now, and she doesn't respond to anyone else when they call her."

Even though they'd said their goodbyes, San Gu still emphasized the point, feigning a sigh. “Who knows if autism is hereditary…”

Not only was Qiao Baoer stunned, but even Lu's mother was taken aback by San Gu's string of "self-deprecating" remarks about her own daughter.

Who would bring their own daughter to a blind date and then say such hurtful things.

Specifically mentioning Junzhi's autism, if it were hereditary, this would rule out a significant portion of potential marriage partners. Marrying a woman and having children with someone who is born with a condition like this, who would dare Heredity concerns the next generation.

Jun Zhiyan sat alone on a single sofa in the living room. She was quietly bowing her head, and Qiao Bao'er looked at her. Her long hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression at this moment.

To be honest, Qiao Bao'er also felt sorry for her. How could she have no emotions at all If it were her, she would definitely jump out and argue with the third aunt.

"Aunt Three, please don't say that. I've always liked Zhiyan. It's just that my older brother has had some problems recently, and I haven't had the time or energy for anything else..."

Lu Qinan spoke at the right time, with a warm and pleasant smile. His handsome face eased the awkward situation.

He walked closer to Jun Zhiyan's side, his voice lowered, "Now those women are too materialistic and like to gossip. A good girl like Zhiyan must find a good man to feel at ease..." His smile was incredibly kind.

All this time, Lu Qinan had just treated her as his younger sister. Suddenly, he was notified by his mother that he would be going on a blind date with Zhiyan. This scared him half to death, but luckily, the young master Lu had seen it all before.

"Speaking of which, Lu Qinan couldn't help but laugh at himself, "My mother called me an old cucumber. How could I have the nerve to mess with Zhiyan Hahaha, Zhimu will definitely scold me."

Lu Qin'nan's laughter was bright and cheerful, infecting Lu Mu and the others who followed suit. Lu Mu glared at her son, "You rascal."

Qiao Bao'er thought Jun Zhiyan would still be inactive, but she seemed to be very sensitive to the name 'Jun Zhimu'. She raised her head to look at Lu Qinan. Her eyes were bright and clean, and she seemed a little pleased.

Qiao Bao'er frowned, she had always ignored the fact that Zhiyan actually liked Jun Zhim牧.

After hearing Lu Qinian's tactful refusal to the marriage, his mother and Aunt San didn't bring it up again. However, out of embarrassment, his mother insisted on keeping them for dinner.

"As you just heard, it's the Lu family's child who looks down on Zhiyan. It has nothing to do with me," During this time, Qiao Baoer went to the restroom, and her third aunt followed closely behind, grabbing her arm and warning, "After you go back, don't talk nonsense to my dad, understand"

Qiao Bao'er disgustedly flung her away, "Third Aunt, I have no interest in whatever you're scheming... But I'll remind you, don't provoke trouble."

It's still unclear whether Jun Zhiyan is truly naive or simply feigning innocence.

Aunt Three glared at her fiercely, "If you dare to talk nonsense, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"

I intentionally sabotaged the arranged marriage between Jun's family and Lu's family today because my aunt wanted Jun Zhiyan to marry her husband's nephew. Even though Jun Zhiyan is an adopted child, she still bears the surname Jun. She's naive and easy to manipulate, so it's best for the wealth to stay within the family.

They looked at each other with disdain and went their separate ways.

For several hours that afternoon, Lu's mother and her two aunts, Jiang Meili, three women of similar age, sat together reminiscing about their youthful pasts.

Jo Bao'er naturally couldn't talk to them, so she gave them a perfunctory smile and ran out.

Lu Qinan is the embodiment of a typical big brother image. He noticed that Jun Zhiyan was as stiff as a log, just standing there awkwardly trying to make conversation, so he suggested taking Zhiyan for a walk around his neighborhood.

The Lu family home is located in a wealthy residential area. This place has good security, abundant greenery and plants surrounding the neighborhood. One often sees rabbits and squirrels scurrying through the gardens. The scenery is pleasant and comfortable.

Lu Qinan and Jun Zhiyan walked back to back, but there was a two-meter distance between them. He always deliberately slowed down to wait for her, while Jun Zhiyan seemed to be increasingly slow as if suffering from social anxiety.

While Lu Qinnan led her for a while, he kept turning his head back and asking her in a low voice.

Jun's gaze was fixed on the tip of her shoes as she walked, oblivious to the scenery around her. She didn't respond to his question.

She is really quiet and reserved.

Lu Qinan could only sigh inwardly. Living with such a woman was incredibly boring, and he had to constantly be mindful of her fragile heart.

Lu Qinan suddenly understood why Jun Zhimu had always treated her as a younger sister.

Jun Zhiyan was adopted by the Jun family and has no blood relationship with Jun Zhimou. There were once rumors that the girl adopted by the Jun family was Jun Zhimou's childhood bride.

Although there is a gap in their backgrounds, if the two children have a deep bond as childhood sweethearts, Grandpa Jun's open-minded personality would likely lead him to agree.

But later, the adults also saw that Junzhi Mu didn't have any ambiguous attitude towards her, so they stopped mentioning it.

"Jo Bao'er, what are you doing!"

Lu Qinian, who was deep in thought, lifted his head and stared wide-eyed at the woman struggling to climb a tree in front of him.

"Keep it down," Qiao Baoer said, her foot resting on a branch as she hung upside down from the tree. She made a shushing motion to them and whispered, "There are three squirrels in the hollow."

Under the tree, Lu Qinan sighed, "What's so strange about this Come down quickly."

Qiao Bao'er ignored him, stretched her neck, and continued to peek into the small tree hole like a thief. She whispered to Lu Qinan under the tree, "There are three baby squirrels. Their mother went out. One little squirrel is being bullied all the time. It couldn't get any food..."

Suddenly, she questioned him suspiciously, "What do you think would happen if I stole one"

To actually steal a baby squirrel!

"Steal your head! Get down here quickly!" Lu Qinian was furious.

Qiao Baoer climbed down while still unwilling to give up.

But don't you think that little squirrel would starve to death like that she muttered, still unconvinced. "If it were Junzhimu, he would definitely let me steal..."

Lu Qinan glared at her without good temper, until he saw this woman safely climb back to the ground before he felt relieved. "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Qiao. They can all live well, and the residents in this area like to leave food for small animals. Also, please pay attention to your image..."

Joe Baoer remained expressionless, too lazy to pay him any attention.

In the late afternoon, as the setting sun cast a hazy glow over this picturesque neighborhood, Lu Qinan looked at the two women standing under the trees. She sighed inwardly; their personalities were truly worlds apart.

Junzhiyan walked behind them, without saying a word.

And walking ahead, Qiao Bao'er felt uncomfortable all over. Perhaps she was overthinking it. She suddenly turned her head to look, and behind her, Jun Zhiyan was still walking with her head down, but just now, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at her intently.for the company, handing it over. "I like to deal with straightforward people,""Try completing this small task first."Qiao Bao'er cautiously reached out and took the company's promotional leaflet. Whe...
