Chapter 655 Blind Date
"Whatever! You won't listen to us anyway. You guys chat, Lao Cheng and I are going to rest for a bit."
Xu Yali looked at her son, sighed, and returned to their guest room with Cheng Wankai.
Downstairs in the living room, only a few young people remained.
"Honey, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the kitchen make it."
Mo Erchen, who had been silent all along, asked Xu Zhiyi.
He was actually trying to change the subject and ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I want to eat barbecue, honey. I haven't had it in so long."
"Nono, what would you like to eat?"
Xu Zhiyi replied to her husband, and then asked Cheng Sinuo.
"Let's have barbecue! I like it too."
"Zhizhi, let's call Song Zhizhi over and let her meet my older brother. Maybe we'll get some unexpected results. Even if they don't click, it's okay."
Cheng Sinuo whispered in Xu Zhiyi's ear.
She had a gossipy smile on her face.
Even though her brother had just rejected her, she wanted to try again.
Perhaps things will change.
"Okay, I'll text Zhizhi right away."
Xu Zhiyi winked mischievously.
She also thought highly of Cheng Sihan and wanted to create an opportunity for her best friend.
Even if things don't work out, give Zhizhi a chance to marry a good man.
Xu Zhiyi picked up her phone and sent a message to Song Zhizhi.
Mo Erchen was right next to his wife, so he naturally heard his sister-in-law and wife's conversation.
He smiled helplessly.
How come he didn't realize that his wife had the potential to be a matchmaker?
After thinking about it, he realized that having a large group of people would create a better atmosphere for barbecue, so he decided to invite Helian Cheng over to join in the fun.
"Then we've decided on barbecue. Mr. Cheng, you don't mind, do you?"
Mo Erchen asked Cheng Sihan.
"Sure, I want some too."
Cheng Sihan didn't hear what his sister and Xu Zhiyi were saying and had no idea that his sister had secretly set him up on a blind date.
He agreed readily.
Mo Erchen turned around and instructed Wang Ma to have the kitchen prepare barbecue ingredients, and then arranged a table of hot dishes for his parents, who did not like barbecue.
He picked up his phone and dialed Helian Cheng's number.
"Erchen, how is Wanwan?"
Helian Cheng's tone was full of worry.
"Wanwan was just frightened, and the doctor has come to see her."
"And Meng Size, as Wanwan's boyfriend, why doesn't he arrange for some bodyguards to protect her?"
"Si Ze already got scolded by my parents, don't even mention it. I'm having a barbecue party at my house tonight, are you coming?"
"Si Ze got scolded by his uncle and aunt? Serves him right!"
Helian Cheng's gloating voice came through the microphone.
"Get out of here, you gloating bastard! Are you coming for barbecue or not?"
Mo Erchen gave Helian Cheng a good scolding.
"What did you say? A barbecue party? How could I be missing? I'll be right there."
"Can I bring a few friends?"
"Just come here yourself, forget about those cronies."
"Alright, I'll do it."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Erchen was speechless.
Helian Cheng's friends are all spoiled brats from third-rate wealthy families in Country C. Bringing them along might ruin the scheme his wife and sister-in-law have set up.
A few hours later, Wang Ma arranged for the chef and servants to set up a grill in the back garden of the Mo family's old house. All kinds of side dishes were washed and seasonings were prepared.
“I’m here, Erchen.”
Helian Cheng's loud and boisterous voice came from the living room doorway.
Looking over, Mo Erchen saw two familiar young men from wealthy families in Country C following behind him.
"you…"
Mo Erchen originally wanted to ask Helian Cheng, "Why did you bring people with you?"
Xu Zhiyi tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to mention Helian Cheng.
All guests are welcome; it's not good to offend them.
"I'm here, Zhizhi."
Song Zhizhi also came in carrying a large basket of fruit.
She was very polite; it wasn't appropriate for her to come empty-handed to her best friend's in-laws' house for the first time.
Why did you bring so much fruit? We have fruit at home.
Xu Zhiyi walked up, took the fruit basket from her best friend, and said reproachfully.
"Isn't this the first time I've met Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo? I should give them something so as not to be impolite."
Song Zhizhi looked at her best friend with a smile on her face.
"Next time you come, don't buy anything. We're friends, so please be casual."
Xu Zhiyi pulled her best friend to sit on the sofa.
Helian Cheng, who had been all smiles, was stunned when he saw Song Zhizhi's large basket of fruit.
He and Mo Erchen were brothers, so he didn't need to buy gifts. But this was the Mo family's old mansion, and his uncle and aunt were here. Why hadn't he thought of buying any gifts?
"Song Zhizhi, did you trick me? You didn't even tell me you were coming so I could bring a gift?"
Helian Cheng confronted Song Zhizhi to ease his embarrassment.
"Hey, didn't your mother teach you that you can't come to your elders' house empty-handed?"
Song Zhizhi retorted without backing down.
The two of them were already quite familiar with each other because of Mo Erchen and Xu Zhiyi's relationship, so they spoke very casually.
"You're polite, you're capable, okay?"
Helian Cheng retorted with a single sentence.
"Alright, it's okay. It doesn't matter whether you buy gifts or not. Please have a seat, and we can start the barbecue in a bit."
Xu Zhiyi smoothed things over and invited Helian Cheng and the two young masters to sit down.
"Wang Ma, could you please serve some tea to the guest? Thank you, Wang Ma."
Xu Zhiyi then gave Wang Ma another instruction.
She looks exactly like the mistress of the Mo family.
"Okay, Madam Second Young Master."
Wang Ma agreed and went to the kitchen.
Mo Erchen looked at his wife with a face full of doting affection.
His wife adapted to her role as his wife and the young mistress of the Mo family so quickly, and she even started entertaining guests, showing a style quite like his mother, Mu Qianqian.
Cheng Sihan and Cheng Sinuo, who were sitting on the sofa next to each other, exchanged a glance when they saw Song Zhizhi and Helian Cheng arguing.
"It seems like Song Zhizhi and Liancheng have a chance! As the old saying goes, no friendship is formed without a fight. These two seem to have a promising future."
Cheng Sinuo muttered something under her breath.
"What did you say, little sister?"
Cheng Sihan looked at Song Zhizhi but felt no attraction. He did notice that although Helian Cheng and Song Zhizhi seemed to be at odds on the surface, they actually got along very well.
The corners of his mouth curved.
“I didn’t say anything, brother.”
"Zhizhi, aren't you going to introduce everyone?"
Cheng Sinuo asked Xu Zhiyi.
"Look at me, I forgot to introduce you all."
Xu Zhiyi patted her head.
"This is Song Zhizhi, my best friend."
When Xu Zhiyi said this, she deliberately looked at Cheng Sihan.
"These are Helian Cheng and his friends, as well as my Erchen's friends."
“This is my sister-in-law Cheng Sino and her older brother Cheng Sihan. You’ll get to know them soon enough; I don’t need to introduce them.”
Xu Zhiyi quickly gave an introduction.
She leaned close to Song Zhizhi's ear and whispered.
"Zhizhi, do you think Cheng Sihan is handsome? Is he your type? He's the president of the Cheng Group in S country, young, promising, and handsome."
