Located in the most bustling district of Jiangcheng, there is a coffee shop.

Lin Ruann wore a black slip dress with a coffee-colored suit jacket over it. The straps were thin, and her delicate shoulders shone under the cafe lights like they had been coated in a layer of gold, radiating brilliance.

The man across from me was staring straight at me, not blinking.

The wretched table made Lin Ruan frown involuntarily.

Zhou Haishan, a man from Jiangcheng, is notorious as a second-generation rich kid. He has small green eyes and a rough face. Standing at 175cm tall and weighing 200 pounds, he might not be conventionally attractive, but his wealth attracts women like moths to a flame. He doesn't discriminate; the more, the merrier. There are rumors that he got a nasty "disease" last year, something pretty disgusting.

But this person was actually her stepmother, the one who arranged the blind date.

Lin Ruan found it interesting that this stepmother, who always pretended to be so virtuous and kind in public, had finally dropped the act.

But Lin Ruǎn had no heart to play games. She put on her coat and said to Zhou Haishan, "Zhou Gongzi, right? Let's end this blind date here today. We'll split the bill."

The unspoken rule at matchmaking events is that everyone pays for themselves. Only a fool wouldn't understand this.

But Zhou Haishan was truly a fool. Seeing Lin Ruan about to leave, he hurriedly got up and stopped her. His hand, sticky with sweat, grabbed Lin Ruan's arm. "Miss Lin, don't rush off just yet. I'll take you out for some fun,"

He said, teasing Lin Ruan with his fingertips as he rubbed them against her.

Lin Ruan stared at that unruly hand, her face unable to hide its expression.

She directly twisted her eyebrows and shook off Zhou Haishan, saying to him, "Zhou Gongzi, let me be straight with you, there's no future between us."

Zhou Haishan smiled, raising his eyebrows to look at Lin Ruan, "You're a cripple, I didn't dislike you even though you are, and now you say there's no chance?"

Lin Ruan is a cripple, that's right!

So the stepmother introduced him to Zhou Haishan, not afraid of being gossiped about behind her back.

When Lin Ruǎn returned to the Lin family villa after the blind date, she saw a stylish car in the parking lot, a top-of-the-line Bentley Mulsanne with a tail number ending in 8.

Of all the people in Jiangcheng capable of getting this brand off the ground, only Gu Min and Xing could do it.

When Lin Ruan came up from the parking lot, she was stopped by the maid at home and said, "Miss, there are guests in the house. Why don't you go to the side hall and sit for a while?"

Lin Ruan glanced at the servant, said nothing, but didn't stop her steps. She walked straight past and pushed open the door to the living room.

In the living room sat the main characters of today, Lin Shanshan and Gu Minxing, as well as both sets of parents.

When Lin Ruan came in, she was quiet and graceful. She was wearing high heels, but because one leg was lame, her steps made a loud sound like hammering.

When several pairs of eyes turned towards them, they all stared intently at Gu Min.

Gu Minxing's gaze lacked any warmth; he merely glanced at them symbolically before turning his eyes away, leaving the two of them feeling like strangers.

A room full of elders, no one paid any attention, but as the younger sister, Lin Shanshan was still passable. She tilted her head with a concerned look and asked, "Sister, did your blind date go well today?"

Lin Ru smiled more beautifully and said, "It went smoothly. Zhou Haishan said that as long as I'm willing to be with him, our family will receive a lot of dowry."

Lin Shanshan said, "It seems my sister is satisfied."

Satisfied as heck!

Lin Ruan sneered, "But Zhou Haishan also said that he has a disease. If I'm with him, we'll have to use IVF to have children. His illness can harm outside girls, but not me. After all, when I marry into their family, I'm just there to be a surrogate worker for them. Am I right, Mom?"

Lin Ru turned her head and asked her stepmother, Ge Wei. Ge Wei's face had turned pale with alternating redness and paleness, but because several members of the Gu family were present, she could only smile awkwardly and say, "Ru Ru, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your mother possibly push you into a fire pit?"

Lin Ru'an arched her brows. "I knew Mom would pamper me and wouldn't bear to let anything happen, so I refused outright. When the Zhou family comes knocking, I'll trouble my dear mother to fend them off for me."

Lin Ruan finished speaking and went upstairs directly, ignoring Ge Wei's increasingly unsightly expression.

In the bedroom, Lin Ruan showered, wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping with water but not bothering to dry it. She took her phone and snapped a series of photos. Her face was flushed after the shower, and even a casual shot turned out stunning. Lin Ruan picked her favorite photo and sent it to the man labeled "ATM" in her contacts, adding the caption, "Missing me?"

After a long while, the message came back, simply one word: "Think".
