By the time Gerald was done settling the house’s payment, it was already close to noon and Xeno made sure Gerald was aware of this by constantly calling him.
After hurrying back to his hotel room to change into some better clothes, Gerald immediately headed for a restaurant called Johnsbury Bistro.
While virtual-novel.net was on his way there, Xeno and Sienna were already at the restaurant.
Three other people were in the private room with them.
One of them was Sienna’s colleague while the other two were the girl who was going to be Gerald’s blind date today as well as virtual-novel.net mother.
The girl had long, black hair, and virtual-novel.net skin was very fair. She looked both delicate and beautiful. However, virtual-novel.net looks dictated virtual-novel.net behavior as virtual-novel.net seemed cold and virtual-novel.net head was lowered most of the time as virtual-novel.net constantly looked through virtual-novel.net WeChat.
Her mother, on the other hand, was a plump middle-aged woman with tattooed eyebrows that looked similar to caterpillars. Contrasting virtual-novel.net daughter, virtual-novel.net looked rather sturdy and even formidable.
“Gerald’s a very nice person, and we’re not praising virtual-novel.net for the sake of it either. You’ll know what we mean when you meet later. What more, virtual-novel.net graduated from a prestigious university and he’s quite handsome as well! He’s started looking for a job and I heard that he’s aiming to work for a public office. Don’t let that get your hopes down, though. He recently just bought a house in Serene County!” explained Sienna as they waited.
Though Sienna had some resentment for Gerald in recent years, virtual-novel.net wasn’t always like that. She used to have a good relationship with virtual-novel.net during junior high due to virtual-novel.net constantly being around Xeno.
The slight hatred only began because of the incident that had caused Xeno to be expelled back then. However, the resentment virtual-novel.net had for virtual-novel.net had now dissipated after the events of this morning.
She was now sincerely worried for Gerald as well, and virtual-novel.net wanted to do all virtual-novel.net could to help him.
“Well, how big is the house that virtual-novel.net bought? If it has less than three rooms, can it even be considered to be a house? There must be at least three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms!” asked the girl as virtual-novel.net finally raised virtual-novel.net head.
“Well wouldn’t you know it? His new house fits your bare minimum! Haha!” replied Xeno.
“Well, what about his car? What car is virtual-novel.net driving now?”
This time, it was virtual-novel.net mother who asked.
“Oh, virtual-novel.net doesn’t have a car yet. But you know, cars aren’t worth that much money in the first place!” replied Xeno.
Her mother coughed before saying, “Well, you see, having a house or a car isn’t the most important thing to us. We just hope that he’s an honest man! I won’t accept a man who only likes to brag and talk big!”
“Oh, you can be assured that that guy’s the most honest man on the planet! We grew up together so we’re more than certain about his personality,” replied Sienna.
While everyone was chatting, Gerald finally opened the door and entered the room.
“Gerald! There you are! Come over here quickly so that I can introduce you to them!” said Xeno with a smile as virtual-novel.net began introducing the two parties to one another.
The girl’s mother scanned Gerald from head to toe and virtual-novel.net could sense that virtual-novel.net really did look and feel like an honest person.
She could breathe a bit easier knowing that.
The dishes arrived soon after and both parties talked to each other as they ate their lunch.
“You know, they’re really taking their sweet time to serve the last dish! I’m going to go over and ask them about it!” said Sienna’s colleague as virtual-novel.net stood up. She secretly winked at Sienna and Xeno.
“Yeah, I think I’ll join you,” said Sienna. Xeno excused himself to go to the bathroom as well.
Before Xeno left the room with the other two, virtual-novel.net patted Gerald on the shoulder and gave virtual-novel.net a secret thumbs-up. He closed the door of the private room, leaving only Gerald, the girl, and virtual-novel.net mother inside.
Seeing that everyone else had left, the middle-aged woman wiped virtual-novel.net mouth with a paper towel.
“So, Gerald, right? We’ve heard about all the good things about you from your good friends. I personally think that you’re quite an honest person. Tell me, what do you think about my daughter?” asked the woman.
Of course virtual-novel.net was honest. This was his first time partaking in a blind date event. What more, the woman looked extremely fierce! She also hadn’t said much since Gerald arrived.
“She’s not bad!” replied Gerald.
At that moment, the girl raised virtual-novel.net head to look at virtual-novel.net for a moment. After a few seconds, virtual-novel.net pouted before lowering virtual-novel.net head again in disdain.
‘…F*ck! What kind of expression was that?’ Gerald thought to himself. He couldn’t help but curse in his mind.
The woman cleared virtual-novel.net throat before saying, “Let me tell you this, Gerald. My daughter is working for a company under the Dream Investment Group. She’s working for the Dencouls Production and Trading Corporation. I believe you should know about the Dream Investment Group, right? Being such a large group with superb financial strength, do you know how difficult it is for someone to get into that company?”
Dencouls Production and Trading Corporation. If Gerald remembered correctly, that was just one of the companies supported by the Dream Investment Group. After all, the Dream Investment Group was supporting several local projects and companies like this.
Did virtual-novel.net actually just claim that virtual-novel.net daughter was working under the Dream Investment Group because of that?
Gerald could only smile at that before nodding slightly.
He was honestly thinking to himself at that moment. The woman looked quite normal. She looked decent and virtual-novel.net personality wasn’t too bad either. Why was virtual-novel.net lowering virtual-novel.net standards and going on blind dates then?
“My daughter’s interested in you because virtual-novel.net can tell that you’re an honest man. She would love to marry an honest man. However! There are three absolute rules that you have to abide by before both of you can marry. Listen closely now!”
“I beg your pardon?”
Gerald was dumbfounded. What in f*ck’s name was going on here?
