Mr. Lu's second-married wife

Thinking that Xia Ju didn't understand what she meant, Mrs. Xia continued: "Xiaoju, it's not that mom is urging you, but you're not young anymore. Look at Yun Zheng, you're going to have a second child soon, and Qiao Nuo is still pregnant with twins this time, and you are still alone... Mom is also worried when she sees it."

Now Xia Ju fully understood that Mrs. Xia meant to let her go on a blind date.

Jumping up from the bed suddenly, Xia Ju's whole body was covered with resistance, "Why are you in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry... and my situation is different from Yun Zheng..."

"What's the difference..." After finishing the sentence, Mrs. Xia nodded as if she had thought of something, "It's really different, I've been a father for several years, and you haven't even dated. "

Xia Ju's face turned red.

How does this look like what my mother said?

"Mom!" Xia Ju was a little unhappy, "I just haven't met the right one, you know, I don't like ordinary people..."

"I know, I know, you just have high vision." Mrs. Xia interrupted her, and gave her a reproachful look, "At first I wanted you to be with Yun Zheng, but you said Yun Zheng had a sweetheart and disagreed. You went to Jiangcheng by yourself, and I ignored you for several years, thinking that you would bring me a son-in-law back, but I didn't expect you to be alone."

Feeling the disgust from her biological mother, Xia Ju frowned, "Mom!"

Mrs. Xia waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I know you don't like it. But Xiaoju, you have to take this step, and it's not a solution for you to procrastinate..."

"I don't care, I don't go on blind dates anyway!" Xia Ju's position was very clear.

Seeing her daughter's stubborn look, Mrs. Xia sighed, "Well, since you don't want to now, I won't force you. But Xiaoju, you are almost 30 years old, so hurry up !"

Xia Ju frowned even deeper.

Where is thirty?She is one year younger than Lu Yunzheng, and Lu Yunzheng is not yet thirty!
But no, looking at Mrs. Xia's appearance just now, it doesn't seem like she was talking to her for fun.

She can push it away this time, but not the next time.

What's more, my mother was right when she said that she always had to take that step.

In that case, why not find one you like?

Feeling that going on like this is not an option, Xia Ju couldn't care less about anything else, so she quickly grabbed her cell phone from the quilt and called Sheng Lezhan.

Sheng Lezhan didn't know if he was busy, the phone rang several times but no one answered.

Just when Xia Ju thought that Sheng Lezhan was not answering her phone on purpose and was about to give up, the phone picked up, but it sounded a bit noisy on the other side.

Even so, Sheng Lezhan's voice was still very clear: "Xia Ju? What's the matter?"

Xia Ju bit her lip.

directly?

Just say it!

People who are almost 30 years old, what else to do?
Stamping her feet suddenly, Xia Ju asked, "Sheng Lezhan, when are you free? Let's have a meal together."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for about half a minute, and then changed to a quiet place.

Sheng Lezhan's voice sounded clearer than before: "My dad and I are celebrating the New Year at a relative's house. It was a bit noisy just now. What did you say?"

In an instant, Xia Ju felt like a deflated ball, her back slumped.

It took a lot of effort to muster up the courage to say it, but the other party didn't hear clearly?
But thinking about the situation on New Year's Eve, she was not sure whether Sheng Lezhan really didn't hear clearly, or just found an excuse to decline her.

Maybe he wanted to pretend that he didn't hear clearly and refuse, and he was more considerate of her.

Thinking of this, Xia Ju lost the courage to repeat it, said "nothing", then hung up the phone, stretched her arms, and lay weakly on the bed, looking at the complicated and gorgeous European-style chandelier on the ceiling.

Qiao Nuo also said that Sheng Lezhan liked her, how could that be possible?
If he really liked her, how could he treat her like this?Qiao Nuo must have read it wrong.

It's also possible that Qiao Nuo was not mistaken. Sheng Lezhan did like her before, but she didn't pay attention at that time, and she talked and dressed like a boy, so after a long time, Sheng Lezhan's liking for her faded away. .

Surely so?

Xia Ju blinked, feeling a little lost.

Pulling the quilt over her head, she just wanted to sleep for a while, and when she woke up to forget all these troubles, the phone in her palm vibrated.

Thinking that it might be the message from Sheng Lezhan, she quickly sat up cross-legged and unlocked the phone as quickly as possible.

As expected, Sheng Lezhan sent the message: [Did you just say when to eat? 】

The corners of Xia Ju's lips raised unconsciously.

In other words, did Sheng Lezhan really not hear clearly just now?It's not to reject her, so I made an excuse?

Feeling soaring, Xia Ju turned over and lay on the bed, holding the phone in both hands, her thumbs jumping quickly on the keyboard: [Yes, do you have time? 】

Sheng Lezhan: [When? 】

Xia Ju: [I can do it, it's up to you. 】

Just now, both of them replied in seconds, but this time, after Xia Ju sent the message, after waiting for a while, Sheng Lezhan still didn't reply.

Xia Ju began to panic again.

Is he going back on his word?

She was thinking wildly when Sheng Lezhan's message finally came in: [I was talking to an elder just now, sorry. 】

Soon, came the second message: [Tomorrow night, you decide the location. 】

Xia Ju clenched her right hand into a fist and stretched it out into the air, then lowered it violently, and shouted "Yes".

Agreed, Sheng Lezhan agreed!

Very good!
In the end, the two made an appointment at a western restaurant in the city center.

Originally, she wanted to make an appointment at the noodle restaurant that they and Lu Yunzheng used to go to, but she thought that it was the Chinese New Year and the noodle restaurant was closed, so she had to give up.

Fortunately, in her impression, Sheng Lezhan quite liked western food.

At noon the next day, just after dinner, Xia Ju began to prepare.

She put on a mask, carefully styled her hair, and put on the most satisfying makeup, and then dug out a lot of clothes from the closet.

But I found that most of them seemed to be neutral, and it was difficult to pick out a feminine dress.

When Mrs. Xia came in, she found that Xia Ju was struggling with the clothes on the bed.

"Xiaoju, what are you doing?" Looking at Xia Ju's face, Mrs. Xia immediately became pleasantly surprised, "Xiaoju, have you figured it out and are going on a blind date with Aunt Li's nephew? I'll just say Well……"

"Mom, it's nothing." Xia Ju interrupted Mrs. Xia's words, and no matter how disappointed Mrs. Xia's expression was, she immediately took her arm, "Mom, help me see which dress I'm wearing nice?"

Mrs. Xia looked at the clothes on the bed, then at Xia Ju, and then at the clothes.

In the end, Mrs. Xia held Xia Ju's hand, and said lovingly: "My daughter is so beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears! But Xiao Ju, you dressed like this, did you date someone?"

"That's right." Xia Ju replied with the corners of her lips hooked.

Mrs. Xia immediately became excited again, "Who are you dating? Does mom know you?"

"Mom, let's not talk about this first, you can help me choose carefully, which one will look good on me?"

Mrs. Xia finally understood.

No wonder yesterday when she asked Xia Ju to go on a blind date, Xia Ju refused without even thinking about it.

Judging from the current situation, she clearly already has a sweetheart.

And in Xia Ju's heart, this person still holds a lot of weight.

Mrs. Xia really wanted to know who the person her precious daughter put in her heart was right away, but feeling Xia Ju's anxiety, she finally decided to suppress the raging fire of gossip in her heart first.

What's the matter, wait for Xia Ju to come back from the date.

So, Mrs. Xia carefully helped Xia Ju choose a suit of clothes.

Xia Ju changed into it, turned around in the mirror, frowned slightly, "Mom, does it look good in this dress? Does it look like a girl?"

"What's different?" Mrs. Xia gave her a reproachful look, and then came to help her straighten her collar, "My daughter is beautiful, and she looks good in anything! Daughter, listen to my mother, if the other party's aura is not as good as If you are strong, then you should come back as soon as possible, and don't waste time on that kind of person, you know?"

Xia Ju brainstormed about aura.

Among the three of them, Sheng Lezhan seemed to be born with this lack. For so many years, he had never seen Sheng Lezhan's aura.

But she didn't dare to say such things in front of Mrs. Xia, for fear that Mrs. Xia would lose points for Sheng Lezhan, so she responded repeatedly.

It was past five o'clock when we left.

It gets dark very early in the winter in the capital, and it's already dark after four o'clock. Now Xia Ju has to turn on the lights when driving.

Along the way, she felt a little uneasy.

She has never dated, and today is the first time.

But I don't know if this counts as a date...

Also, what would Sheng Lezhan's reaction be when he saw her?If he really doesn't like himself anymore, will he feel that he is a little crazy?

She drove slowly, and the distance was not that far, so she drove for almost an hour.

Before coming here, Sheng Lezhan had already reserved a seat, Xia Ju gave her name, and the waiter immediately led her to the seat.

As a result, when she was walking there, Xia Ju found that Sheng Lezhan had already arrived.

Sitting down on the chair the waiter pulled out for herself, Xia Ju smiled dryly, "Have you been here for a long time?"

"Not long ago, just arrived." While talking, Sheng Lezhan signaled the waiter to pass the menu to Xia Ju.

If it had been changed before, Xia Ju would definitely have taken the menu and started ordering, not at all polite.

But today, for some reason, she stretched her hand halfway, and suddenly felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do so.

So, she took her hand back again, and lowered her eyes slightly, "You can order it, I can do it, don't choose."

Sheng Lezhan sat with his legs crossed and leaning on his back, staring at the water glass in front of him in a daze, without any reaction, as if he hadn't heard Xia Ju's words at all.

Xia Ju was a little uneasy, and asked cautiously, "Sheng Le Zhan?"

Only then did Sheng Lezhan withdraw his thoughts, and looked up at her, "What?"

There was obvious blankness in his eyes, as if he really didn't know what happened.

Xia Ju's uneasiness began to intensify.

It seems that Sheng Lezhan really didn't listen to her, did he not care?
Or, in fact, he promised to go out to eat with him today, but it was just perfunctory?

Pursing the corners of her lips, Xia Ju asked, "Is there something on your mind?"
