Free Web NovelChapter 187: Chapter 187: Blind Date
Zhang Xuepin and Wang Hao finished their meal and then returned to the orphanage to visit their son, basking in the joy of family bonding.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, went back to the company and explained the situation with the shop in the northern part of Xiang to Xia Xue in detail, also asking her to keep an eye on their recent movements.
After finishing, Wang Hao felt that he had more or less sorted out everything here, and it was time to head back to Chen Village to check on the greenhouses.
Su Zhenping had already called twice, which certainly meant something had happened.
However, Wang Hao noticed that while he was explaining things to Xia Xue, she seemed somewhat distracted.
"Wang Hao, can you go back tomorrow instead?"
When it was just the two of them left, Xia Xue finally spoke up, hesitantly uttering a sentence.
"What’s wrong?"
Wang Hao asked, puzzled.
"Didn’t I tell you before to delay your return to Chen Village by a couple of days? Don’t you remember?"
Xia Xue reminded him.
Wang Hao thought carefully and indeed remembered such a matter.
The first time Su Zhenping called, Wang Hao was ready to go back and check, but Xia Xue had asked him to wait a couple more days before returning.
But then the following days were consumed with the commotion of Xiao Wei and Jia Jia’s mistaken disappearance and the capture of some criminals, so he forgot about it.
Now that everything had been settled, Xia Xue brought it up again.
"Oh, that’s right. I almost forgot if you hadn’t reminded me. Come on, what’s it about?"
Wang Hao asked.
"It’s nothing important, it’s just... I just want you to join me for a meal!"
Xia Xue said, somewhat embarrassed.
A meal?
A world for just the two of them?
Could this be a love confession? But shouldn’t that be the boy’s job? Wang Hao suddenly felt his heart swell with happiness. He thought he would see what Xia Xue was up to first, then he could give her a surprise as well!
Wang Hao followed Xia Xue to a private room in a restaurant, and upon entering, he was caught between laughter and tears.
Suddenly, their world for two had become a world for five.
What made Wang Hao uncomfortable was that the two aunts kept looking at him with disdain, sweeping their eyes over him.
That could have been bearable, but there was also the young man opposite Wang Hao, whose eyes were brimming with hostility, looking as if he wished he could devour Wang Hao.
"Xia Xue, is this the boyfriend you’ve mentioned?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
After staring at Wang Hao for a long time, one of the aunts finally couldn’t help but ask, although this aunt didn’t even look Wang Hao in the eye while speaking.
"Auntie, his name is Wang Hao, he is my boyfriend, and even my dad has met him!"
Xia Xue said, clinging to Wang Hao’s arm.
"Auntie, hello!"
Wang Hao also smiled and greeted them with Xia Xue.
"Who is your auntie? Don’t start calling us that when there’s nothing certain yet! Your name is Wang Hao? What kind of clothes are these? You look like a country farmer. How are you at all a match for our Xia Xue?"
Xia Xue’s aunt launched into a tirade of scornful comments as soon as she opened her mouth, talking nonstop.
"I’m telling you, Xia Xue, you were the most sensible and obedient child among all the kids when you were little. Why have you grown up to make us, your elders, worry about you?"
"Look at the boyfriend you’ve chosen for yourself. He clearly looks like a bona fide farmer. Did your father raise you to be a college graduate just so you could marry into the countryside and work on a farm?"
This old hag could have stopped at a word or two, but now she was targeting Wang Hao with every word, which was really going too far.
If she were not Xia Xue’s aunt, Wang Hao would have been rude to her long ago, letting her prattle on relentlessly here.
The other aunt sitting opposite them had a sour expression on her face since they entered, looking as long as a horse’s face, her eyes toward Wang Hao as if he had wronged her. But for the life of him, Wang Hao couldn’t recall ever meeting her.
And this young man too, staring at Wang Hao as if Wang Hao had stolen his wife.
What Wang Hao couldn’t accept the most was that this man’s gaze kept wandering over Xia Xue, extremely lecherous.
Even now Wang Hao was somewhat dumbfounded, not knowing what their purpose was for coming?
"Sister Luo, what do you mean? Didn’t you invite us here for a blind date? Why did the girl bring a man with her? Since she already has a boyfriend, why come for a blind date at all? I think your money..."
The woman with the horse-like face finally spoke up.
Wang Hao finally understood that Xia Xue’s aunt wanted to set Xia Xue up with someone, and it seemed to involve some financial issues.
No wonder she was so critical upon seeing Wang Hao, and her tone was so unpleasant, downright fierce. It turned out she felt Wang Hao had ruined her scheme.
"Girl, don’t rush. This guy is no match for our Xia Xue. Rest assured, I’ll have our girl send that bumpkin packing!"
Xia Xue’s aunt seemed intent on driving a wedge between lovers, as she turned fiercely to Xia Xue and said.
"Xia Xue, break up with this yokel right now. Yokel, you can go now!"
Wang Hao frowned upon hearing this, feeling that he was usually quite domineering himself, but he hadn’t expected the aunt to be even more overbearing.
"Why should I leave when I’m out having a meal with my girlfriend?"
Wang Hao suddenly hugged Xia Xue and said righteously.
"You!"
Xia Xue’s aunt, infuriated, pointed at Wang Hao’s nose and said to Xia Xue.
"Look, just look. A yokel is a yokel, with not a bit of decency, to talk to an elder like that!"
Yet Xia Xue didn’t pay her any attention.
"Auntie, since you started by mercilessly mocking me, calling me ’peasant’ and ’yokel’ repeatedly, as an elder, may I ask where your decency is?"
Wang Hao sneered coldly.
"A yokel like you talking about decency with me? Hurry up and roll back to your countryside. If I catch you bothering our little Xia Xue again, I will break your legs!"
Xia Xue’s aunt shouted loudly.
"Why waste words with him, just get him out of here!"
The young man finally spoke up, stood up, and pointed at Wang Hao.
"Kid, if you know what’s good for you, get lost. Look at yourself before you even think of leaping out of your league and dream of swan meat, or I’ll break your legs if you don’t scram!"
Wang Hao couldn’t help but smile a little; he had been patient for a long time, just waiting for them to say these words.
"Do you not know that in all of Chicheng County, no one has dared to threaten to break my legs, Wang Hao!"
Wang Hao stood up and shouted sharply, and suddenly the entire restaurant’s attention was on their table.
"Kid, don’t make me force the issue. I’ve had training!"
The young man then threw a punch onto the table, and without even using his full strength, the table nearly collapsed.
It was clear that this strong young man indeed had training.
But at such a level, Wang Hao was too lazy to make a move.
Suddenly, the young man’s complexion changed dramatically, because he saw two robust men with iron rods appear behind Wang Hao, glaring at him angrily, then three, then four...
In a short while, about twenty people had gathered behind Wang Hao.
"Who was it just now that said they were going to break our Brother Hao’s legs? The brave ones, step forward!"
One of the men wielding an iron rod charged forward and flipped the table, pointing the rod at the young man’s nose while glaring furiously.
Xia Xue’s aunt immediately hid in the corner, terrified.
"You... don’t try to scare me. In a public place, what can you do to me?"
The young man’s speech was trembling, but he was still trying to act tough.
The strong men were too lazy to talk nonsense with him, lifted their iron rods, and said. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Beat him to death!"
