Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Elsa missed the deep meaning in her mother's eyes and burst into laughter. "Dad, you are really drunk.

Whose child was born in clothes?"

The old couple also smiled and said, "She is twenty-seven years old. That's not bad. My eldest

grandson is thirty-two years old. He has a formal job in the Qiao group. He bought a house, and paid

down payment by himself before the new year. He is reliable, stable and honest."

Blanche had to cater, "That's your fortune."

"Right. Come here, my girl. Look at my grandson's photo. He is not bad looking, is he? " The old man

was so enthusiastic.

Elsa leaned over to have a look. She didn't find anything special, but the children were the apple of the

elders' eye. She praised, "He is not bad."

The old man was very happy and talked more. After saying that, Blanche felt a little restless and

wanted to talk to Johnson. She pushed him and said, "You old man, let's go to buy some water. Zaza,

sit down for a while. "

Elsa nodded. She was indeed a little thirsty. Since the two elders were still talking, it was inconvenient

for her to go with her parents right away.

The old man looked at her lovingly and said, "Miss, what do you do? Do you have a business card?

When do you have time to meet our grandson? "

Elsa was surprised. She scratched her hair and wondered what was going on? She stood up

uncomfortably and glanced at many small pieces of paper on the tree next to her, which were all about

her personal situation. Then she wondered if she had sat under the blind date tree? There were a lot of

such blind dates trees in parks of various sizes in Linchuan City. Some of them were posted with

photos and personal information of the blind dates trees. Usually, there were many elders who were

worried about their children sitting here and waiting for their children to find a suitable person.

No wonder when Elsa and her parents sat down just now, the old couple came to accost her. It turned

out that they also took her as a blind date.

It was so embarrassing to choose such a seat.

Elsa had to force a smile and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry. I'm not..."

The old woman couldn't wait to interrupt her, "Don't be shy. It's a process to go on a blind date, isn't it?

Am I right, my girl? Are you free now? I'll ask my grandson to come out right away. "

"Blind date? Elsa, right? " Soren appeared behind her. When she was about to ask Soren to say

something, Soren looked at the old couple and said, "I'm sorry. I fell in love with this girl. Your grandson

is too late!"

"You... How can you do this? You haven't asked her whether she agrees or not? First come, first

served. " The old man was too anxious to finish his words.

Soren hugged Elsa and kissed her on the lips. Elsa was a little drunk. She also wanted to play with

him. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She even stood on tiptoe and

enthusiastically responded him.

The old couple were so angry that their faces turned pale. "Young people nowadays are... How immoral

people are! The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse and worse... "

"Thank you for your comments. I fell in love with her at first sight. Elsa and I are going to get our

marriage license right now. If we get married, we won't be immoral, the moral degeneration of the world

won't getting worse and worse, right? " Soren let go of Elsa and smiled at the old couple.

"Well... Well.... That's true. " The old couple couldn't keep up with Soren at all.

Pulling Soren's sleeve, Elsa said, "Let's go over there. My parents and I were sitting in the wrong place.

"

Soren held her in his arms and walked away. "I just went to the bathroom. I almost lost my wife."

"How could it be gone? Isn't she all right here?" Pursing her lips into a smile, she looked around and

said, "Dad and mom went to buy some water. They haven't come back yet."

"Let's sit for a while." Soren chose a bench with shade and took her to sit down.

Thinking of what had happened just now, she felt a little guilty. "It's so embarrassing. I didn't know I was

sitting under the blind date tree. It turns out that blind dates are not fun. "

"The first time?" Soren asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't. I didn't go on a blind date. I just sat at the wrong place." Elsa was anxious.

Soren took her hand and said, "I've had many blind dates before. Sometimes I don't even see her face

clearly, dinner was already finished, and I don't know what to say."

"Aren't you good at talking?" Elsa smiled.

"That depends on who I am with." Soren also smiled, "My immediate leader doesn't have a child. He

always tries his best to worry about me with my parents, grandparents. I once had twelve blind dates in

a month and that was the most frequent in my life."

Hearing that, Elsa was speechless. It seemed that he had been through it for many times, and there

was no reason for him not to like any of them. "Why are you so picky?"

"I can't force myself if I did not feel right." As he said, he gently rubbed her palm with his fingers. "That's

why I delayed it again and again."

It was so obvious that only she was the right one.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she stood up and walked aside. "You are a practical person, how can you

believe in something so void as feelings?"

Soren stood up and pulled her, "What else can I do?"

Elsa didn't know why. Some people would feel comfortable and relaxed when they got along with each

other. Some would rely on each other and have more feelings unconsciously. And for some people, no

matter how hard you overcome the obstacles, it still difficult to pretend to be intimate.

Johnson and Blanche came back with some bottles of water in hand.

In the afternoon, they strolled around in the suburbs and took a deep breath of fresh air before going

home by bus at night.

As long as her parents were there, she could live a happy life. Having been idle for such a long time,

Elsa felt a little uncomfortable when she went back to work.

There were a few pieces of small news that needed to be written. The small news didn't need to go out

for an interview, but could be handled by the materials assigned by the superior.

Turning on the computer and touching the familiar keyboard, she quickly knocked out a series of crisp

sounds and buried herself in work.

Soon enough, Elsa finished writing the article and handed it over. Hal came in with the documents and

asked, "Elsa, can I ask you something?"

Elsa couldn't help laughing and said, "Why don't you come in and have a seat?"

"I have interviewed many people involved in this draft and collected a lot of information, but I haven't

found any clue to write it, and I haven't figured out where to focus. As for the breakthrough point I put

forward, editor Cai said that it could be improved again. Can you help me? "

"Okay." Elsa took it over and read it carefully. Hal was also a diligent man. She could see that he

worked very hard, and he had made all kinds of notes on the materials. She thought for a while and

told him her thoughts, "My thoughts are not necessarily completely correct, but I think if this is the case,

we can summarize this matter first and make a concept to catch the attention of the audience. And then

tell the whole story from beginning to the end. What do you think? "

Hal thought for a while and said, "Now I'm enlightened by your words. Okay, I'll go back first and then

sort out my thoughts. Thank you, Elsa. "

"You're welcome." Elsa watched him walk out. She checked the time and it was almost noon. She

called Jane Liang, "Do you have time? I'll go to your new company and have lunch together. "

She was really worried about Jane and wanted to have a talk with her. Friends might not be able to

help each other too much, or they might not be able to really shoulder the heavy burden of life for each

other. However, a greeting and a accompanying in the wind and rain might bring more strength to each

other.

The business of Jane's new company was similar to that of Ron's. She worked hard and was diligent,

so she resigned from Ron's company and found a new job here soon. When Elsa saw her, she was in

good spirits. She was relieved.

They chatted and laughed for a while. The two of them had a simple lunch. Then they bought

themselves a blueberry sundae. They sat on the bench in the shopping mall for a while. They didn't say

anything. While eating, they looked at the passers-by.

Just like the time when she was preparing for the exam in grade three in the senior high, she sneaked

out of the school to eat ice cream and didn't want to say anything. She was blowing the air conditioner

in the mall and lazy for the whole noon.

Jane nudged on Elsa's elbow and said with a smile, "I feel much more relaxed after I change my job.

By the way, how was Mr. Qin that night? "

"Well, he is fine." Elsa replied with a smile, "I find that you still care about him. After they fighting back

and forth. Chloe gave in herself. "

"What else can she do? Such a good man is nowhere to be found if he is gone," said Jane in a low

voice as she burst into laughter.

"Did I hear it wrong? Are you praising him? Why do I always hear you described him as a coward,

nosy, indecisive, careless ghost? "

Jane blushed, "No, you must have misheard. He is much better than he was seven years ago. "

"Seven years ago? You knew him seven years ago? " Elsa asked in reply. She felt something was

wrong, but what was it?

In the face of Elsa's question, Jane was obviously flustered. "Well, well... Well, Zaza, why do I see your

mother here? The cafe over there? "

Elsa also stood up and adjusted her glasses. She saw her mother in the coffee shop not far away, and

the person sitting opposite her was none other than Ada. Why did her mother drink coffee with aunt

Ada? Even if the two families wanted to get close to each other, there was no need for her mother and

Soren's stepmother to do so.

Besides, they were not familiar with each other.

All of a sudden, Elsa's doubts about Jane's matter were dispelled. She was a little nervous and

inexplicable.
