1744: Blind date

Blind date

An Lan had no idea that there were two men behind her who were worried about introducing her to someone.1

After she returned, she applied for a visa to France and stayed there for half a month.

It was not an exaggeration to say that she was "really bored".

All these years, she had been busy with work. In her free time for the past two years, she had been in a couple of relationships. However, after dating for a short period of time, she realized that they were either incompatible in character or outlook on life.

Now that she suddenly had free time, she suddenly realized that her life was really boring without a job. Her friends around her had long gotten married and had children. Everyone had their own families.

Sometimes, sitting by the Seine River at night gave rise to a lonely feeling.

Once, she sent a photo to Wechat Moments. In the end, she was accidentally caught by her aunt Ji Jia. Ji Jia immediately called her. "Why did you go to France? Are you alone?"

"Yeah," An Lan smiled. "Auntie, do you need something from France?"

Ji Jia sighed. "Need what? I'm going to die from anger. You've been through so much recently, and your parents don't care at all. You're already 29 this year, and you're still wandering around alone. I'll be back soon to arrange a blind date for you."

An Lan had a headache. She should have blocked her aunt. "Auntie, I..."

"Shut up," Ji Jia interrupted her, "You are not allowed to reject me again this time. An Lan, I know you are capable. Others may not understand you, but this time, you, a woman, encountered such a situation for no reason. You don't even have someone to rely on. You can't do this anymore. In the past, you rejected me again and again, but you have to agree this time. Otherwise, I won't recognize you as my niece."

An Lan's eyes heated up. She could feel a strong sense of kinship from her aunt. She bit her lips and did not say anything.

"Come back within three days. Don't worry, I will definitely find you a good partner. I don't want anyone who is crooked, and he will definitely be handsome."

An Lan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Actually, I'm not that obsessed with looks..."

"Alright, you won't be obsessed with looks until now, but since your time has already been wasted, you have to find someone who is handsome and capable."

"..."

In short, after being threatened and persuaded by her aunt-in-law, An Lan finally agreed to go back to the country for a blind date.

In fact, she still trusted Ji Jia's taste. This was also one of the reasons why she reluctantly agreed.

The night before she went, Ji Jia specially called her again. "This blind date is indeed a top-notch one. At least he looks good. Although he doesn't make as much money as you, he's not bad either."

An Lan was curious. "Auntie, my reputation has been particularly bad recently. Are you sure that he won't fall out with me after meeting me?"

"Don't worry, he definitely won't," Ji Jia said. "He's also a legal worker and understands this industry very well. He especially understands your heartache."

The corners of An Lan's mouth twitched. "Can you tell me where he works? I don't think I've met him before, right?"

"... at the Procuratorate."

"Then I have most likely met him before..." An Lan suddenly regretted agreeing to this blind date.

"Go, you have to go for me. I specially arranged it for you. If you don't go, I won't be able to save face," Ji Jia directly shouted.

An Lan could only brace herself and drive. On the way, she thought about the handsome but unmarried man in the Procuratorate. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ji Jia had found her a younger man.

She had no interest in a younger man, and she didn't want to find a legal profession either. After all, they were lawyers who often argued with the Procuratorate in court.
