Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 451 - 5: The Boss and the Secretary

Qu Fulan has two blind dates today.

One at noon and another in the afternoon, with just an hour between them. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After all, this sort of thing is about probability. The more dates you go on, the better your chances of success.

Of course, the chances of failure are even higher.

This current one is already on the brink of failure.

Because the guy actually brought his mom along to the blind date!

This is simply a rare sight!

The man didn’t say a word throughout, wearing thick glasses, his face a little dark-skinned, sitting obediently while his mom did all the talking.

Talking about how great her son used to be academically, and now where he works, how respectable it is, but he’s a bit too honest, so she’s worried he might get deceived. That’s why she came along to have a look herself, and she’s fairly satisfied now that she’s met the person.

Indeed, she’s only fairly satisfied, not completely satisfied.

It’s said that men and their mothers have different criteria when choosing a wife, and that’s absolutely true. When she saw the photo, she immediately denied it, said Fulan looked mischievous, clearly not a decent girl.

Unfortunately, her precious son insisted on liking Fulan, wouldn’t accept anyone else, and for the sake of future genes, she had no choice but to come and have a look. Seeing her in person felt somewhat more assured than the photo, but there were still many aspects to work on.

"I don’t know how good your cooking skills are. My son Cai has quite a fussy palate. If you want to be a wife for him, you’ll need to master cooking. If you can’t cook, start learning from me tomorrow. I’ll list out all the recipes he likes and teach you one by one."

"I’ve heard your current job is quite busy, with constant business trips, which isn’t convenient for caring for Cai. It’s better to resign from this job and find something closer to home and easier, so you’ll have the time to take care of Cai. I have only one son and naturally want him to be well looked after."

"Young people don’t know how to manage finances. Cai’s salary is also managed by me. When you two get married, you should hand over your salary to me as well, otherwise, you’ll waste money at such a young age."

...

Honestly, Qu Fulan hardly listened to what the other party was saying, treating it like wind passing by, in through one ear and out the other. In between, she went to the bathroom and then prepared to excuse herself.

She was here for a date, not to apply for a nanny job; pointless conversation was a waste of time.

On her way back, she heard the mother and son talking.

The guy seemed to feel his mom was a bit overly demanding too, quietly asking her to speak more gently and stop making so many demands, fearing they might scare people away before even getting engaged.

And his mom replied, "With her education and abilities not being low, working at the Pei Group, along with those looks, this kind of girl has the highest aspirations. If I don’t give her a big scare and suppress her, will she obediently serve you? I’m doing this for your own good. Just sit here obediently and watch me win her over."

Originally not wanting to fuss, Qu Fulan just laughed, clacking her high heels as she approached.

"Seeing as you’re the elder, I’ll call you ’Auntie.’ Women should understand each other’s struggles, yet you speak of suppressing another woman into serving your son? Is something wrong with you? Were you tormented by your mother-in-law before, so now you need to balance your heart by tormenting a daughter-in-law?"

The other party was dumbfounded by Qu Fulan’s sudden barrage of words. After processing it, her expression changed, and she opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Qu Fulan.

"Moreover, we’re just having a date today, not getting engaged, right? You keep blabbering about how I should take care of your son in the future. Why should anyone be asked to serve your son? Even if someone becomes your daughter-in-law, it’s not like she’s sold to your family, nor is she a slave. We all have hands and feet; why should someone serve?"

"You..." The mom, infuriated, stood up and pointed at Qu Fulan, intent on scolding.

Qu Fulan still didn’t give her a chance. Being able to work as a secretary for the Pei Group’s CEO, she couldn’t afford to have a dull mouth. In negotiations, giving others a chance is akin to blocking her own path.

"Why you? Nowadays, a mother-in-law like you is simply the lingering residue of feudalism. Whoever marries into your family must have the worst luck. They’re the cherished treasure at home, pampered well, but moving to yours, they must play the role of a maid? They’d have to be crazy to marry into your family."

"Look at this, this is the woman you’ve picked. What’s this about? We can’t afford a daughter-in-law like this." The mom wasn’t an easy opponent either, swiftly finding a chance to retaliate.

Qu Fulan wasn’t afraid, raising her voice even more, "What’s wrong with a woman like me? A woman like me goes on blind dates without bringing her mom along, and you even have to accompany a son for dating. You start with a pile of talk about how to serve your son post-marriage, changing job and learning to cook. Is your son an emperor, deserving such service? If you’re so uneasy, why not care for him yourself for life? Skip the dating and marriage nonsense and stop ruining other families’ daughters. We’re all born and raised by our parents; why is your son so precious, while others are destined to serve him?!"

Qu Fulan’s loud voice attracted quite a few stares. Some things are fine said in private, but bringing them up in public makes them ugly.

At least the mom felt terribly awkward being watched by everyone and reflexively tried to argue back, but nobody listened anymore.

No wonder; this mom was just talking without any proof, while Qu Fulan spoke with evidence — the mom was the proof. She indeed was with her son for the date, while the girl came alone. What more explanation is needed?

"These days, there are all kinds of people. I hate this kind of old woman most in my life; her son is a treasure, while others’ children are just lowly?"

"I’ll record this and post it online, letting the vast netizens see. Next time, avoid this weird mother and son pair. Otherwise, whoever marries into such a family will be doomed for life."

"Don’t just record the mom; record the useless son too. Compared to old women, I despise that man more, a fully capable grown man needing his mom for a date. Being a mommy’s boy to such extent, what’s the point of living? Might as well die!"

Finally, the mother and son left begrudgingly under the crowd’s murmurs and pointing.

Qu Fulan, finishing things up here, quickly left the restaurant heading to the other blind date location.

What she didn’t know was that her "glorious achievements" were recorded and sent to another person.

Qu Fulan arrived at the next date location just in time, figuring either the person hadn’t arrived yet or came early. It turned out he came early, and he was alone.

Pretty good, coming early shows he values it; coming alone shows no mother-in-law...

Indeed, Qu Fulan was still influenced by the previous encounter.

She quickly tidied up her appearance and walked over. The person was seated behind the sofa, only half the back of his head visible.

"Hello, I am..." Qu Fulan hadn’t finished her sentence when she was startled by his face.

"Boss?"
