Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 353 - 336: The Spectacle of a Dozen Blind Dates
Jiang Aijia didn’t want to talk to those people, but she had no choice.
Holding on to the idea of being the first to see Mu Yunchu enter the living room, she still followed her mother’s orders and took the prepared fruit and mineral water to the living room, then placed them in front of each person one by one.
For the first time, Jiang Aijia felt that doing this kind of thing was quite tiring.
Their house was already considered quite large, and the living room was at least 30 to 40 square meters. But because so many people had come, more than a dozen of them crowding together, it was impossible for everyone to sit on the sofa. Some were even sitting at the dining table in the living room, and in this situation, several had to stand by the window.
After Jiang Aijia put the fruit on the table, she handed each person a bottle of mineral water. She felt she was exhausted just doing these simple tasks.
Clearly, when preparing for meetings at work, she did similar tasks, but she didn’t know why she felt this way now.
The moment Jiang Aijia appeared, those people stared at her intently for a while.
They were considering whether she was their blind date.
She seemed somewhat similar to the photo, but whether in terms of attire or age, there seemed to be some subtle differences.
She seemed a few years younger.
Jiang Aijia completely ignored their gazes.
After distributing all the mineral water, a bespectacled man couldn’t help but ask, "Excuse me, are you Jiang Liang?"
This was the name of Jiang Aijia’s sister.
Also, the real name of their blind date.
If they could confirm that the person in front of them was Jiang Liang, these blind dates would start showing themselves.
But the answer they got was disappointing.
"I’m not, I’m her younger sister."
Jiang Aijia, afraid that these people would say another word to her, denied it very straightforwardly.
Though they were sisters, she shouldn’t be doing such a "prickly" thing. But Jiang Aijia always followed the principle of "better them than me."
She raised a polite yet distant smile, "Jiang Liang will be back soon, you can wait here for a bit."
"Have some fruit, or a drink of water."
Even though Jiang Aijia didn’t like these people, she couldn’t behave rudely.
All that was left was to wait for her sister Jiang Liang to return.
After doing this, she looked at the time on her phone and found that it was already the agreed time with Mu Yunchu.
But she hadn’t received any message from the other party.
If she hadn’t been watching Mu Yunchu’s livestream for a long time, being her loyal fan and knowing her character, Jiang Aijia would have suspected she was going to get stood up.
But although she knew Mu Yunchu wouldn’t just ignore her, to be honest, she was still a bit nervous.
Mainly because she was afraid that something unexpected happened on Mu Yunchu’s end, preventing her from arriving as promised today.
If that happened, her plan would be ruined.
Just as she was anxious, the sound of someone walking up the stairs suddenly echoed in the hallway.
This lifted her hopes immediately.
She couldn’t help but perk up her ears.
Hoping fervently that the person standing at the door was Mu Yunchu.
But when the sound of the key turning in the lock reached her, followed by the door opening, Jiang Aijia’s mood plummeted.
Because she knew that besides herself, Jiang Ma, and Jiang Ba, the only person with a key to the Meng Family’s door was her sister.
It’s not that she didn’t want her to come back, but the problem was Mu Yunchu hadn’t arrived yet.
If Jiang Ma and her sister were to meet at this time, and the latter saw the grand scene in front of her, the two would inevitably have a big argument over it.
It was bad enough to be embarrassed in front of outsiders, but it would also affect the mother-daughter relationship.
Although these people were introduced through a dating website, Jiang Ma mentioned that none of them lived too far away.
This meant that if these people heard or saw something today, it could easily spread tomorrow, letting others know.
Their family couldn’t afford to lose face like this.
After these thoughts raced through her mind, sure enough, as anticipated, when her sister entered and saw so many men sitting on the sofas, she immediately understood what was happening.
She directly shouted at the top of her lungs.
Jiang Aijia, prepared for this exact moment, hurriedly dragged her sister into the bedroom and closed the door, letting the two of them solve the conflict themselves.
"Mom, who are all these people outside?"
"Didn’t you say it was a blind date? Why invite so many people?"
Jiang Ma had kept from her sister how many blind dates she had lined up for her.
Jiang Aijia only found out once by overhearing.
Though she had once reminded Jiang Liang, she didn’t think her mom would be so outrageous.
"Even ancient emperors selecting concubines didn’t have this kind of grandeur, right?"
Seeing so many people made her laugh angrily.
"Do you really want to push your daughter into a pit of fire?"
Probably from being enraged, Jiang Liang said whatever was on her mind.
"What if I go out now and marry a beggar, would you all clap and cheer?"
"How can you speak like that!" Jiang Ma was aggrieved, "What do you think I’m doing this for if not for your own good?"
The mother and daughter had very similar temperaments, losing control when angry.
Jiang Ba and Jiang Aijia, afraid the fight would escalate, tried to mediate continuously.
But the results were minimal.
The two were fuming, their expressions utterly changed.
They weren’t like mother and daughter, more like enemies!
"Sis, listen to me, sis."
"Don’t be so impulsive."
Jiang Aijia felt there was still room for maneuver, so she didn’t want her and Jiang Ma to have such an unpleasant confrontation.
Even though Jiang Liang was about to say something more, she was forcibly dragged away.
"Sis, calm down first."
After closing the bedroom door, she began explaining how she had asked Mu Yunchu to look over the blind dates for her.
Jiang Liang, usually busy with work and not much attention to online affairs, remained skeptical.
"Is this person you found reliable?"
"How about we just pay her more to point out all the flaws of those people outside?"
Just thinking about those people outside gave Jiang Liang a headache.
So she came up with such a solution.
"I don’t think it’s possible," Jiang Aijia couldn’t promise this.
In her view, Mu Yunchu’s skills were the strongest among the fortune tellers she had encountered, and she surely wouldn’t want to tell such lies.
"Maybe we should just wait and see."
