Liu Rushi looked at her father surprised "Condition?" Now, she really felt that she was going to end up somewhere different.
"Yes." Liu Jiangou got up and approached his daughter. Turning her around, he said "I have thought of breaking your engagement with that man."
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Liu Rushi jumped up in excitement. "Really?"
"What are you getting so excited for, idiot? I'm breaking your marriage not fixing it." Liu Jiangou was surprised to see his daughter's happy reaction.
"Yes, I know. And that is why I'm happy for it. To be honest, let me say you." Taking a deep sigh, she decided to say all that what had happened between them yesterday.
"He broke off the engagement with me yesterday itself. We were just pretending so that we could actually say it to you both by tomorrow i.e. today." Completing her sentence in one go, she took a long deep breath.
"So, the marriage has been already broken?" Liu Jiangou asked still being in a daze.
"Aigoo, how many times does she have to repeat it again and again? The marriage is over, so finish it off and tell her the condition. I'll die from starvation." Liu Manni said while looking at her husband's dazed behavior. She rubbed her stomach to show that she was starving.
Agreeing with her mom, Liu Rushi also said "Yes, Dad. Even I'm hungry."
"There's this man I met recently. I like him. He seems to be a good guy unlike Lei Qingshan. I want you to have a talk with this guy. Who knows you might end up liking him." Liu Jiangou said while looking at his daughter softly.
"Dad??? It's just been a day and you thought about my marriage with someone else? This is not fair, Dad. I mean, C'mon. It's only been..."
"I told you before I had a condition. So it's a condition." Taking out a piece of paper from his pocket, he handed it to Liu Rushi.
"He said he will be waiting over there, tomorrow, by 5 PM." Liu Jiangou said the details.
"Now, let's go. We all are hungry." Liu Manni said while walking towards her daughter. She held her hand and took her out.
Meanwhile, on the way, Liu Rushi started to whisper with her mother. "Mom, is this necessary? I mean, it's just been a day and you guys want me to meet someone else??"
Liu Manni also spoke while whispering "See, It's really better for you to settle quickly. We both won't last for long. So by the time we die, we should at least see our grandchildren and go right?"
Hearing the same old talk, Liu Rushi said "Ahh, Mom, you started it again. There's no going okay? You guys will be with me forever, no matter what."
Looking at her dad, she sighed. "Fine Mom and Dad. I'll go and see that guy, okay?? Just don't repeat those inauspicious things again."
Hugging her mother tightly, she didn't say anything.
'Is it really over between me and Zhang Wei? No, I should say him as Lei Qingshan cause that's what he is. I can't believe this man!!' Liu Rushi thought while stopping herself in front of a mirror in the bathroom.
Walking over to the cubicle, she remembered instances from last night.
Shaking off her head, she said "It's really better to get over it now. I don't know which guy I'll be meeting this time. I have actually done it twice, if he gets to know then..."
To clear out her doubts, she called her expert friend, Feng Mian. After a few rings the phone was picked up.
"MianMian, I need your help, No! I need your advice." Liu Rushi quickly got to the point and asked for Feng Mian's help.
Feng Mian was cooking in the kitchen. Her husband wasn't home, so she wanted to surprise him by cooking something really delicious. It was her first time cooking this dish, so she was taking help from the videos uploaded on the internet.
However, she was interrupted by Liu Rushi's call. Picking up the phone, she heard a panicked voice of Liu Rushi.
Worried, she asked "What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Everything is fine except for me."
"What happened to you?" Feng Mian got even more worried when she heard that everything was fine except for her.
"I don't know what to do." Liu Rushi stomped her feet in annoyance.
Feng Mian didn't know what had actually happened, so she tried to make Liu Rushi calm. "RuRu, just calm down and speak with me."
She paused and instructed her friend to take deep breaths.
Liu Rushi listened to what Feng Mian was telling her and did as told. She took three to four deep breaths and said "I'm fine now. Let me say what happened."
Feng Mian made a 'hmm' sound and kept her phone on loudspeaker. She then started to look after the food which was getting cooked in the pot. Giving a stir, she told "Now say me what happened."
Without wasting any more time, Liu Rushi replied "My parents arranged a blind date for me."
Surprised, Feng Mian asked "Blind date?"
"Yea, blind date."
"But aren't you engaged?" Feng Mian asked confused.
"We broke up yesterday."
"WHAT?"
As soon as Feng Mian heard it, the spoon with which she was stirring the food fell from her hand.
*CLANK*
Since it was a spoon made of steel, it made a loud clinking sound and Liu Rushi was able to hear it too.
"What are you even saying? You guys broke up?" Picking up the spoon from the floor, Feng Mian asked even more confused.
"Yeah, we did." Liu Rushi admitted in a low voice.
"But why?"
"Forget it. It's a long story. Just help me out with this blind date thing.."
Confused, Feng Mian asked "What help do you need from me?"
"Should I go or not?"
"If your dad have arranged it for you, it's better if you go." Feng Mian said.
"But..."
"Just give it a try. It's not that you are getting married with him on the spot over there. You are just meeting him. If you don't like him, say no. If you like him, say yes. Simple.." Feng Mian explained Liu Rushi.
Sighing, Liu Rushi agreed. "Fine. I'll go."
"Good girl..." Feng Mian then said bye and hung up.
Coming out of the washroom, Liu Rushi spoke to her parents. She said "I'll go Dad. I'll meet the guy."
Liu Jiangou felt proud on hearing his daughter's reply. He patted on her back and said "That's my girl."
