When the woman with heavy makeup noticed that Fade Chen was coming over with Mindy Wu, she couldn't help scrutinizing him. She looked him from head to toe with a disdainful expression. Then, she said to Mindy doubtfully, "Mindy, who is this guy?"
Mindy introduced him to her, "He's my friend, Fade. I invited him to join us."
The woman seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said, "Mindy, I don't think it's appropriate for you to bring a friend here on this occasion."
Mindy frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't really matter since we are just having a meal. We are all friends, so there is nothing inappropriate."
At this moment, Fish, the little girl, also said in a clear voice, "I want Brother Superman to eat with us. I want him to stay with us."
Hearing this, the woman did not say much. She snorted softly and turned away. "Alright," she said.
After finishing to speak, the woman walked ahead of them, as if she was a model doing the catwalk on the runway. Her high heels
made a loud sound and she swayed gracefully. She attracted a lot of attention from the people in the mall.
Mindy slowed down her pace and fell behind. She kept apologizing to Fade, "I'm sorry Fade. She is my high school classmate, Juliana Liu. She invited me to have a meal together with another friend. Hope you don't mind."
Fade shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't mind. Let's have a meal together. The more the merrier."
After that, they went to a Japanese restaurant on the second floor.
Juliana had booked the table, so they entered the restaurant and took their seats.
Since Juliana's friend hadn't arrived yet, they asked for tea to be served and didn't order any food.
While drinking tea, Juliana chatted with Mindy. She said, "Mindy, although you never complain about it, I know that it isn't easy for you as a single mother to take care of your daughter. It must be hard for you to bring her up from young till this day all by yourself."
"Forgive me for being so frank. We are turning 30 this year. If we don't look for a good companion, it will be even more difficult for us in the future. Your daughter's name is Fish, right? She is still young, so maybe the situation is still manageable for you. However, she will be going to school soon, and surely the expenses will increase. You will have to bear all the costs, including fees for reputable schools, additional tuition classes, extracurricular activities, and living expenses. The total of all these expenses will not be a small amount of money."
After sipping some tea, Juliana continued, "Therefore, you have to seize this opportunity. The man I'm introducing to you is four years older than you. He's in his thirties and he has a child who's about the same age as your daughter. He's a businessman and his assets are worth tens of millions of yuan. He's definitely a rare gentleman you can scarcely find anywhere else. Quite a number of women want to date him. It's not easy for me to make this appointment with him. You should try to make a good impression on him later."
After listening to what she said, Mindy looked a little awkward. She sipped her tea and said, "Juliana, I'm fine even though I'm single right now. Since it's my first time meeting this guy, I will just talk to him casually."
Fade understood the situation even though no one had explained it to him.
Mindy's high school classmate seemed to be a matchmaker and she had introduced her to a guy for a blind date.
Mindy seemed to be a little reluctant. Perhaps she couldn't find any good reasons to reject her friend's invitation, so she just came to meet this guy for a meal.
After seeing Mindy's indifferent expression, Juliana frowned and said," Mindy, stop being lackadaisical about this matter. Women above 30 years old are not as 'valuable' as young women. Our status becomes significantly lower. By that time, you had better not regret—"
While she was still trying to advise Mindy, her cell phone rang.
