Xiao Yanjin took a deep breath, having known the original host and her since childhood, considering them childhood friends. She vaguely remembered this sister’s cold demeanor, barely acknowledging her existence.
As for Ji Yunuo, she was three years older than the original host, but she possessed a maturity beyond her years. As a prestigious heiress, she underwent daily training in various skills.
Every time the original host visited her, she would either be painting or playing the piano, dancing or practicing archery—she had a wide range of hobbies and talents.
It was certain that she didn’t like the original host, mainly because the original host was very rowdy as a child and enjoyed teasing her with smooth talk.
Now, after five years of not seeing each other, the other party was a freshly graduated student from a prestigious university, while the original host was regarded as a useless, universally despised omega.
Xiao Yanjin smirked inwardly, thinking it was quite a feat for them to take time out to go on a blind date. Were they hoping for some entertainment at the expense of the Xiao family?
“Yunuo, please say hello to Uncle and Aunt from the Xiao family,” Ji Zhiye smiled.
Ji Yunuo raised her head, her eyes bright and sharp, yet unusually cold, even her smile seemed to chill the air, “Uncle, Aunt, it’s a pleasure to have dinner with you here.”
Then she looked at Xiao Yanjin, who responded with a lazy smile. Miss Ji was indeed a paragon of elegance, exuding an aura of untouchable purity and restraint that no one could defile.
Now, this was the kind of omega worth liking!
“Hello,” she said softly.
“Miss Ji, hello,” Xiao Yanjin replied politely. She didn’t want to be a bootlicker; she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“Ah Mu, please have a seat,” Ji Zhiye looked at the cold and dignified Miss Ji, a fitting match for Wei Qin.
Xiao Yanjin and the others took their seats one by one on the remaining three chairs.
Ji Yunuo’s uncle, who was sitting beside her, cleared his throat. He was Ji Zhiye’s brother, Ji Yi, with his status, he didn’t need to cater to the head of the family.
“Let’s get straight to the point. Since both families are here for a blind date, the emphasis is on matching backgrounds. Now, without discussing family backgrounds, let’s talk about education. Our Yunuo graduated from a prestigious Ivy League university abroad. What about Miss Xiao from the Xiao family?”
The family valued matching backgrounds above all else, even in the entertainment industry, Wei Qin’s family background was not ordinary. Moreover, even ordinary families paid attention to matching status and lineage.
Xiao Liangmu and Liang Zhi’s faces turned embarrassed.
It was Xiao Yanjin who remained extremely calm and said, “High school.”
She said it casually, without feeling embarrassed about her education.
Ji Yi sneered, “Comparing a top-ranking university in the world with not graduating from high school, you’ve already lost the game. So, while our family Yunuo can play the piano, sing, ride horses, shoot arrows, and even paint and sculpt, what about you?”
The original host could drink, fight, smoke, flirt, and… sleep.
Forget it, it’s better not to mention these embarrassing things.
“I don’t have any particular interests or hobbies,” she replied.
Ji Yi’s face lit up, laughing, “You have nothing, yet you have the audacity to come to a blind date with our Ji family?”
Xiao Liangmu said, “Uncle Ji, what do you mean by that? This blind date was agreed upon by both families. Why do you say my daughter has no face?”
Ji Yi didn’t care about agreements. Blind dating with someone like this was a disgrace to his niece!
“Dad, calm down,” Xiao Yanjin said, patting Xiao Liangmu’s shoulder, signaling him not to speak. She was surprised that the Ji family, as a prestigious family, was so overbearing. It seemed that Xiao Liangmu’s status was not high in their eyes.
“Although I’m not as versatile as Miss Ji in every aspect, proficient in all arts, but at least I’ve read books and enjoy reading and singing. Occasionally, I can also play the violin.”
“Enjoy reading and singing?” Ji Yunuo’s aunt, Ji Chun, asked in confusion, “Then recite a poem for us.”
Ji Yi volunteered, “I’ll test you.”
After several rounds of question and answer, Xiao Yanjin effortlessly recited every poem, having majored in Chinese literature in her original world and having a fondness for classical poetry. She was almost familiar with every poem, even being able to recite “Tengwang Pavilion Preface” fluently.
During their conversation, Ji Zhiye and Wei Qin looked at each other, obviously not expecting Xiao Yanjin to possess such ability.
“Damn, is this Xiao Yanjin for real?” Wei Qin whispered.
Ji Zhiye held her hand, noticing his wife’s sweaty palm, and comforted her, “Don’t worry.”
Xiao Liangmu and Liang Zhi were also surprised; their daughter, who usually disliked studying, unexpectedly had such a high level of poetry.
“Do you study behind our backs?” Xiao Liangmu scratched his head and asked.
Liang Zhi sighed, “If she were like this, how could she drop out of school?”
Ji Yunuo slightly raised her head, glanced at Xiao Yanjin, who was engaged in a verbal battle, and saw her relaxed demeanor. She wrinkled her brows. What kind of alpha was this?
“Outrageous!” Ji Yi didn’t expect Xiao Yanjin to possess such ability. He was suddenly furious.
“What’s the use of this girl knowing some poetry? She can’t compare to my niece in any aspect.”
Xiao Liangmu said, “Mr. Ji, what do you mean by that? My daughter just recited poetry fluently, and you say it’s useless. Who was looking down on my daughter earlier?”
Ji Yi looked disdainfully, “You don’t even know what kind of person your daughter is!” With that, he took out a few photos from his bag and placed them on the table.
Xiao Yanjin stood up to take a look; it was a photo of the original host hugging a beauty into a bar.
The woman had a charming figure, long flowing hair, especially prominent was her ample bosom.
Ji Yi was still reveling in exposing the scumbag’s true colors, but unexpectedly, the other party responded with indifference.
“Why are you laughing?” Xiao Yanjin poured herself a glass of wine, raising it in a toast to the old man.
“Mr. Ji sent someone to spy on me. Was it really necessary?” Xiao Yanjin couldn’t let them slander her without proof. Instead, why not admit it openly and sabotage this blind date? “Do I have to confess myself for you to believe it? In that case, I’ll just have to do it. I, Xiao Yanjin, am a complete scumbag!”
Ji Yunuo gave a faint smile.
It was the first time she heard an alpha insult herself as a scumbag.
What’s the difference between being called a
scumbag and being called a pervert? She really left herself no way out.
“Xiao Yanjin, what nonsense are you talking about?!” Xiao Liangmu stood up anxiously. She actually admitted to being a scumbag in front of a potential match, does she have no brain?
Xiao Yanjin looked over; Ji Zhiye remained silent, Wei Qin had a disdainful smile, and… Ji Yunuo never lifted her head to look at her. Xiao Yanjin couldn’t help but sigh; this omega was indeed very calm.
“Do you really not mind hearing that?” Xiao Yanjin deliberately disgusted her, “I, a complete scumbag, any omega who likes me would be at a loss.”
Before Ji Yunuo could get angry, Ji Yi cursed, “Xiao Liangmu, look at your daughter. She dares to come to a blind date with such behavior!”
Xiao Yanjin didn’t mince words, “Since you know my behavior, why did you come for the blind date?!” She just wanted to leave as soon as possible; this blind date was turning out to be like a company team-building exercise!
“You!”
Ji Chun quickly pulled Ji Yi’s sleeve, “Uncle, don’t be angry.”
Ji Yi’s face turned slightly red, he snorted, and glanced at Ji Zhiye. He strongly disagreed.
“Do you prefer to ruin your reputation, or are you willing to go all out?” After a long time, a noble lady’s voice was about to burst out. Xiao Yanjin looked over in a hurry, coincidentally, Ji Yunuo’s gaze also shifted.
Those light brown eyes, as clear and transparent as glass marbles.
“What do you mean by that, Miss Ji?” Xiao Yanjin felt a tingling sensation; why wasn’t this omega getting angry?
Then, Ji Yunuo walked out.
At this moment, Wei Qin saw this scene and immediately felt a sense of tension. She pretended that her necklace fell outside and asked Ji Zhiye to accompany her to find it.
Xiao Yanjin felt cold sweat all over her body. She hadn’t been this flustered even when facing Ji Yi earlier. Instead, after just one glance from Ji Yunuo, she couldn’t muster the courage to continue the verbal battle. No, to deal with this cold omega, she should change her strategy! After thinking for a moment, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Just as she reached the bathroom door, she heard voices coming from the storage room next door.
“I won’t allow Yunuo to marry such an alpha! Absolutely not!” Wei Qin shouted sternly.
Ji Zhiye seemed anxious; she coaxed, “Qin Qin, I found my niece is different from before. Let’s observe for a while.”
“Observe? What’s there to observe? She admitted she’s a scumbag herself. In terms of education and family background, who can compare to our Yunuo? Besides, her family went bankrupt. They’re relying on us for this blind date, anyway, I don’t agree with this blind date.”
“But Liangmu and I are good friends. Can’t we save his face?”
“Is your friend more important, or is your wife and child more important?”
“Of course, you’re more important. My dear Qin Qin,” Ji Zhiye kissed her.
“Then you better come up with a solution quickly. It should neither hurt feelings nor leave us in a bad position.”
“Alright, I’ll discuss it with my uncle and aunt.”
Xiao Yanjin smiled; it would be even better if they disagreed.
She walked into the bathroom casually, washed her hands, and someone walked in.
Xiao Yanjin looked at the mirror; there was a woman in a Qingyu-colored long dress behind her, with a frosty temperament, waist-length hair, and especially bright and clear eyes.
Wait, why did this person look so much like Ji Yunuo?
Standing behind her, Ji Yunuo exuded an even colder demeanor, her voice cold as she said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be the omega’s restroom, right?”
Xiao Yanjin: What the heck?!!!
