Zhi Shan was pacing restlessly back and forth in his office.
Why was this woman making a simple gesture of gratitude so difficult??
Arghh...
He wanted to let it go, but he felt like he had been a bit too harsh with her, which was entirely unnecessary and uncalled for.
So he couldn't help but feel a small tinge of guilt.
"Ok, this is the last time! Hmph. If she doesn't want to take the helping hand, then it's on her!"
He already had that annoying hassle to deal with!
And now he had another bitter medicine on his plate.
"Yo! Are you ready bro?" Chang Yong barged in unceremoniously and chuckled at the sight of his troubled brother.
"What happened now?" He controlled his snicker and put on a serious face while asking.
Chang Yong, who considered himself to be a blood brother of Zhi Shan was particularly looking forward to this day.
It was the famous yearly Nine family's gala, which included both the Chang family and Zhi family.
But the juiciest part was that Zhi Shan was once again coaxed by his undefeatable grandmother into bringing a blind date for the gala.
Well, not exactly a blind date.
Since almost every single woman in the city has already thrown themselves at young master Zhi in one way or the other.
"Is she here already?" Zhi Shan uncomfortably adjusted his tie and sat down with a tired gaze.
"Hehe... Yup, your beauty has arrived. The receptionist just informed me."
Chang Yong chuckled, once again taunting his awkward in woman's department friend.
Just as they were chatting, a tall voluptuous beauty, with slender long legs and perfect milk-like skin appeared, knocking on the door, with a shy expression.
"Hello." Her melodious voice was slightly provocative and polite at the same time, completely contrasting her shy and conservative appearance.
While Zhi Shan nodded and continued awkwardly sitting in his chair, Chang Yong immediately got up and gave a warm welcome hug to the stunning beauty.
Chang Yong revealed a naughty smile and gave a "What? You are anyways not going to go out with her. At least let this brother enjoy the evening" look at his friend.
This has happened so many times, that Zhi Shan even lost the count. He couldn't help but wonder, maybe this guy is why he was still single...
Because of his past experience, he had a slight aversion towards women. But that didn't mean he doesn't want to get married at all.
After all, more than him, the two little buns, needed a mother. And their needs always preceded his needs.
Fortunately for him, this young woman in front of them was already well aware of the famous playboy Chang Yong's antics.
While Chang Yong leaned in for a bear hug, that was accompanied by a bit of touchy and grabby attempts, Su Nan politely revealed a tender smile, and effortlessly turned the whole thing into a small friendly hug.
Ahh... Even Chang Yong was surprised for an instant.
He secretly gave his friend a thumbs up on the side. This one had a bit of brain, along with her big boobs for a change.
Su Nan then proceeded to break the awkward silence and coyly walked towards Zhi Shan.
She then asked with a slight twinkle in her eyes, "Hi, Zhi. Do you still remember me?"
The sharp piercing eyes of Zhi Shan wavered uneasily for a minute, while he tried to jog his memories.
Hai... But no matter, how much he tried, he just couldn't remember her.
"Sorry. I have a bad memory." He awkwardly smiled, trying to salvage the situation.
He needed this blind date to go well, at least for a while. Else the old hag would nag him for months together.
After several unpleasant experiences, Zhi Shan had finally learned his lesson.
He was now so knowledgeable that he could even publish a book on 'How to get rid of fake socialite women.'
Step 1. There should be absolutely no screw-ups from his side, else there would be hell to pay from grandma Zhi.
Step 2. When the date is over, a thorough background check by Lo Ting will be promptly sent to grandma Zhi for review.
Most of these women had some dirt in their past, which would be skillfully dug out by his talented friend and mercilessly exposed to grandma Zhi.
Step 3. And finally, if everything else fails, there was always the twin hurdles that came to his rescue.
If there was someone pickier than Zhi Shan in their taste of women, it would be the two little buns.
So far, all the women he had introduced to his evil minions, had been nitpicked to the bone and shooed away heartlessly.
And thus, the date chapter would be tentatively closed for a few months, and grandma Zhi would leave him be for a while.
Well, only for a few weeks though... and then the cycle would start all over again.
After all, the old woman was extremely determined to find a bride for her precious grandson, and a mother for her great-grandkids.
