"What's your name?"
"Liu Chong," the girl replied.
"What does your family do?"
"My father is a lieutenant colonel in the Group Army's Information Corps..." the girl replied.
"How old are you this year?"
"I'm 19 this year," the girl replied.
"What are your plans for life?"
"What are you good at?"
"What are your dreams?"
"We understand your situation. Go back and wait for notification. We'll send you a text message if there's any news," Qin Yiyi said seriously.A perfectly good blind date was turned into an interview by Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi. They were just about to ask the girl about her "expected salary and benefits."
The girl across the table was a little nervous, while Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi across the table were diligently recording the girl's information using their phone's memo.
At the beginning of the blind date, Qing Chen was sitting, and the two were standing beside him.
Later, seeing that Qing Chen was sitting silently, they simply sat down and asked questions themselves, leaving Qing Chen standing aside.
Qing Chen knew very well that Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi weren't trying to help him with his blind date; they were clearly joining forces to eliminate the external enemy first...
After eliminating the dissenters, Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi would ask together: "Brother, we've helped you reject so many blind date partners. You won't be angry, will you, brother?"
Qing Chen could only quickly say: "I'm thrilled!"
But he was really happy. Anyway, blind dates were just a formality for him. It's good that he didn't have to waste his time.
As for what the Head of the Qingshi Clan thought, he didn't really care.
After all, these two girls were arranged by the Head of the Qingshi Clan. If this blind date process produced any strange changes because of these two girls, it was your own doing, Head of the Qingshi Clan. What does it have to do with me, Qing Chen...
Of course, the biggest loser in this blind date was definitely not the Head of the Qingshi Clan, but Yi.
Yi kept frantically sending messages to Qing Chen: Add, quickly add this one, I like this one!
But ever since Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi got involved, Qing Chen hadn't had a chance to add any blind date partners as friends.
Otherwise, while Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi were still eliminating external enemies, if he suddenly took out his phone and said, "Let's add each other as friends," it would clearly be suicidal.
It's better to sacrifice Yi's happiness than to sacrifice myself.
Qing Chen understood this.
The blind date ended in the morning. Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi looked at him expectantly: "We're hungry. We helped you with your blind date, so shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"
"Treat, treat, treat," Qing Chen said. "You can eat whatever you want."
At this moment, Qing Ji appeared leisurely: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat hot pot. I know a restaurant with a particularly authentic pot base."
Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi knew that this guy was the one who planned the blind date, but they politely called out together: "Thank you, Uncle Qing Ji."
They were exceptionally well-behaved in front of their elders, afraid that their poor performance would make Qing Chen's elders dislike them.
The hot pot restaurant was not far from the coffee shop. The four of them simply chose to walk there instead of taking a car.
Walking on the bustling street, Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi walked hand in hand in front, chatting happily.
As if they didn't know Qing Chen at all.
Qin Yiyi was wearing a white T-shirt and a white pleated skirt, which complemented her wheat-colored skin, giving her a unique beauty.
Yang Yang was wearing a white T-shirt and skinny jeans, looking particularly energetic.
The two girls walked together, and their height was exactly the same.
Qing Chen followed behind, angrily saying to Qing Ji: "Look what you've done. Shall we fight?"
Qing Ji calmly said: "I'm just following orders. If you're really angry, just go to Ginkgo Mountain yourself. I guarantee that no mute servants will stop you."
"If you're so calm, why did you run away just now?" Qing Chen asked.
"Can't I go to the toilet?" Qing Ji replied calmly.
Qing Chen was puzzled: "Your blind date plan is already a sham. Aren't you worried? If things continue like this, your plan will be ruined."
Qing Ji replied: "Plans never go as expected. This change was also changed by Old Master himself. No one knows what he's thinking. But all this must have been tacitly approved by him, and it's what he wants to see. Perhaps he thinks that the probability of you having an ancestor's bloodline with these two girls is higher."
At noon, when they were eating hot pot, the two girls were initially quiet. Yang Yang wasn't the big eater she usually was, and Qin Yiyi wasn't the one who tore up beef on the wild. She even tried to use chopsticks with her fingers curled elegantly.
"Stop pretending," Qing Chen sighed.
Yang Yang smiled: "Don't you like us like this, brother? Then we won't pretend anymore!"
Qin Yiyi waved her hand and shouted: "Boss, add another portion of hairy belly, yellow throat, tribute vegetables, hydnum imbricatum, and two portions of hand-cut mutton!"
With that, Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi immediately let loose. Hairy belly, duck intestines, beef, and mutton were dropped into the pot like hailstones. Qin Yiyi said: "I've been hiking in the wilderness for so long, and I've finished all the beef I brought. After entering the city, I quickly went to exchange gold bars for new clothes and haven't had time to eat anything."
Yang Yang also ate voraciously: "Dayu told me that Qing Chen was on a blind date, so I immediately rushed here. I flew non-stop along the way and had to avoid the Qing Family's air defense facilities. I'm exhausted."
Qing Chen thoughtfully said: "Dayu..."
Yang Yang looked at Qing Ji: "Uncle Qing Ji, how many more people does Qing Chen have to go on blind dates with this afternoon?"
At this moment, Qing Ji received a message on his phone. He looked up at the two girls: "No more blind dates. All subsequent blind dates are cancelled."
"Huh?" Now it was Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi who were puzzled. "Why?"
A second later, outside the hot pot restaurant, a mute servant rushed in carrying a wooden box. He came to Qing Ji's side and signed: "A gift from Old Master for the two girls."
Qing Ji took one look and was surprised. He took the wooden box and said to the mute servant: "Go back and see the Boss. Tell him I know what to do."
Qing Chen looked at him as if he were speaking in riddles: "What kind of riddle are you talking about?"
Qing Ji solemnly opened the wooden box: "These are two interesting trinkets that Qing Chen's mother collected before her death."
Qing Chen was stunned. Mother?
In his life, his mother was only the woman named Zhang Wanfang, but he had never met his biological mother.
For some reason, the things in the box suddenly stirred up some emotions in him.
Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi looked, and found that they were a pair of jade finger rings, each a crystal-clear imperial green.
What was strange was that the ring size of ordinary finger rings was made for men, while these two finger rings were unusually delicate. Even if worn by a girl, it wouldn't look out of place.
Qing Ji took the left one for Yang Yang and the right one for Qin Yiyi: "Take them. Although the Boss hasn't seen you yet, this is his gift to meet you. He likes you."
"They're too valuable. These two jade finger rings could probably be sold for hundreds of millions each on the market," Yang Yang said.
Qing Ji smiled and shook his head: "They're not real jade. They're a pair of sister-extracted Forbidden Artifacts. Yang Yang's ring is called Forbidden Artifact ACE-104, "One Leaf Obscures the Eye." As long as you cover your eyes with both hands, no one can find you. Even if you stand in front of them, they will subconsciously ignore you, and even radar can't detect you. You are a Force field Awakened One. When you fly in the air, you don't need to open your eyes. If you have this, you don't have to worry about any Phase-array Radar."
Qing Ji then looked at Qin Yiyi: "Yours is called Forbidden Artifact ACE-105, "Covering Ears and Stealing the Bell." As long as you plug your ears, others won't hear the sound you make, and sonar equipment won't find you. The cries of the people you kill won't be heard by anyone. Fire Pit excels at jungle warfare. The leaves and weeds in the jungle are your best friends and your greatest enemies. No matter how good your stealth is, it will be exposed by the sound of friction. So this is also suitable for you."
"What are these strange names..." Qing Chen complained.
It's normal for the Head of the Qingshi Clan's wife to collect two interesting Forbidden Artifacts. After all, with the Conglomerate's financial resources and manpower, finding a few Forbidden Artifacts isn't difficult.
However, to give Forbidden Artifacts as a meeting gift is probably only done by the Knight Order and the Qing Family.
Yang Yang: "If it's a Forbidden Artifact, then it's even more valuable than jade."
Qin Yiyi also agreed: "Indeed, jade has a price, but Forbidden Artifacts are priceless, especially those suitable for oneself."
Qing Ji said: "You don't have to be polite, Old Master gave them to you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Yang Yang and Qin Yiyi had already put on their finger rings. Yang Yang held her hand out to Qin Yiyi: "Does it look good on me?"
Qin Yiyi nodded: "It looks good. Your skin is already white, and the green makes it even whiter. It suits you. But it looks average on me. My skin is too dark..."
Yang Yang smiled: "It looks good on you too!"
At this time, Qing Ji realized that it was completely unnecessary for him to be polite to these two girls...
These two girls aren't pretentious at all!
Qing Chen asked: "What kind of person was my mother?"
"Your mother had a bad temper," Qing Ji said with a smile. "Everyone in my generation and your brother's generation was quite afraid of her."
Qing Chen was stunned. He thought he had a gentle biological mother.
Even if he searched his memory palace, he had never seen the figure of his mother. It was as if she had already disappeared when he opened his eyes.
But he heard Qing Ji recall: "Your aunt was a particularly decisive person. Old Master didn't like talking, didn't like the sun, and didn't like going out. He was a particularly homebody. Then your aunt would forcefully drag him out to sunbathe and take walks... At that time, Old Master was already the head of the family. I was his personal guard. Every time I saw your aunt approach Old Master's room, we would wisely stay away. For this, Old Master complained to us many times, saying that we hadn't protected him well. At that time, Old Master wasn't as silent as he is now."
Qing Chen suddenly asked: "When did he become like this?"
Qing Ji glanced at Qing Chen: "After Ning Xiu passed away."
Qing Chen was speechless. He didn't expect this answer.
If that's the case, is the Head of the Qingshi Clan still a suspect in his sister-in-law's murder? It can't be determined yet, and it's possible that Qing Ji is lying.
"How did my mother die?" Qing Chen asked.
"Your mother's heart had always been bad. From the moment she was born, her body wasn't very good," Qing Ji said. "She had a heart transplant and lasted for more than ten years. When she was pregnant with you, the doctor said that her heart wasn't strong enough to support childbirth, but she still didn't abort you."
Qing Chen calmly said: "Don't say any more."
He was used to a life without affection. He could live well without a father or mother. Qing Guozhong and Zhang Wanfang were just forgotten, discarded lives.
Except for Qing Zhun, Qing Chen had given up all hope for family affection. But Qing Ji told him that his mother was willing to risk her life to give birth to him.
He couldn't accept it.
Qing Ji didn't say any more. He looked at the two girls and smiled: "There won't be any more blind dates. Next, I will adjust your schedule with Qing Chen. Before the plan is finalized, you can do whatever you want. By the way, here are two black cards from Qing Family Bank. There's no limit to the amount. No matter what you buy, we will pay for it."
"No need for this. I have money now," Qing Chen stood up.
Yang Yang and Yi pushed the black cards back with a smile: "We'll listen to Qing Chen."
"What do you plan to do next?" Qing Chen asked. "Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you."
"Go buy clothes," Yang Yang said with a smile. "We only have one set of clothes each, and we'll be staying here for more than ten days. We can't go without clothes to change."
In the afternoon, Qing Ji didn't follow them anymore. Qing Chen accompanied the two girls to the mall, and he found that they weren't tired even after visiting hundreds of shops.
The two girls would try on clothes when they saw something they liked. Then they would come out of the fitting room together, twirling like princesses in front of Qing Chen, asking him if it looked good.
The two girls were naturally good at clothes, making Qing Chen dazzled.
But except when trying on clothes, the two would hold hands and walk ahead, ignoring Qing Chen...
Qing Chen suddenly found out that even A-Class masters get tired when shopping with girls...
In the evening, Qing Chen said: "The best hotel in City 5 is called Yun Ding. I'll take you there now, and I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."
Yang Yang tilted her head. She looked at Qing Chen, who was covered in shopping bags: "Where do you live?"
"I live in the thirty-square-meter small apartment my brother left behind. It only has one bedroom and one living room, you won't be able to fit in," Qing Chen said.
"Who said it won't fit?" Yang Yang said. "We two can just sleep in the bedroom and share a bed, you can sleep on the sofa."
Qing Chen: ...
Are we starting to live together?
