My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away!-Chapter 77: Matchmaking?
Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Matchmaking?
When Lin Yixun returned home, Lin’s mother was still awake. It had been this way for years, no matter how late she came back, Lin’s mother would always leave a light on for her.
"Oh, Xiao Xun, what’s happened to you? Why are you all wet?"
"Mom, I’m fine. I just attended a banquet with my boss and accidentally fell into the swimming pool." Saying this, she quickly walked into her bedroom and changed her clothes.
"You need to dry your hair too, or you’ll catch a cold." Lin’s mother fetched a dry towel, talking while helping her dry her hair.
Lin Yixun felt a warmth in her heart. She remembered how she used to be very naughty as a child, enjoying playing with the spray nozzle whenever her father washed the car, always ending up in a mess.
Each time, her mother would sternly scold her, but in the end, she would bring out a bath towel and carefully dry her hair. Sometimes, she was confused as to whether she liked playing with the spray nozzle or the feeling of having her hair dried by her mother.
"Mom, it’s really nice to have you by my side." It really was.
"Silly child." Lin’s mother smiled and patted her shoulder, "Xiao Xun, your mother is getting old and can’t accompany you forever. My biggest wish now is that you find someone who loves and cherishes you. That way, even if I die, it’ll be worth it."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Yixun stood up, wrapped her arms around Lin’s mother’s neck, and said coquettishly, "Mom, you will live a long life."
"Xiao Xun, do you remember Aunt Wang whom I mentioned before? She asked about arranging a meeting between you and her nephew again yesterday. What do you think, would you like to meet him?"
"Mom, Aunt Wang’s nephew is a Ph.D. and has studied abroad. How could he possibly take a liking to me?"
"Xiao Xun, I have already discussed this with Aunt Wang. She is aware of what happened back then... Her nephew has said that he doesn’t mind whether you’ve been married before. Xiao Xun, please listen to Mom and just go meet him?"
Lin Yixun knew, with her mother’s personality, even if she didn’t agree now, it would come up again later. Unable to withstand her mother’s coaxing, she nodded.
Lin’s mother was all smiles, and the next day she contacted Aunt Wang. The two elderly ladies were surprisingly efficient, quickly arranging the meeting time.
Lin Yixun found it both amusing and frustrating.
She thought, even if that person didn’t mind her past marriage, the scar on her face would probably make the returnee back out.
Men are visual creatures.
Their meeting place was a revolving restaurant on the top of a landmark building in A City. The average spending there was at least a thousand yuan per person, indicating that Mr. Xing took this date quite seriously.
However, Lin Yixun thought he would probably be disappointed.
To show respect, she put on light makeup and chose a white dress that was barely presentable. She thought this was the best she could do.
In the high-end restaurant, aside from the exquisite dishes, the waitstaff’s service was also top-notch. As soon as Lin Yixun walked into the restaurant, a young waiter warmly greeted her.
"Miss, how many in your party?"
"There’s a reservation already. Where is table 12, please?"
"Sure, miss, please follow me."
The waiter led her to a window seat where a man was already seated. With his back to her, she couldn’t see his face, but from his tall and straight back, it seemed he wouldn’t look too bad.
