Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 49 As people age, they speak less of the truth.
A busy week passed quickly. Saturday should have been a happy day, but for those who need to go on blind dates, today was a nightmare.

At noon, the sun shone brightly outside the window, which greatly conflicted with Tang Ying's mood.

She had thought that her grandfather's friend's grandson would be a handsome young man, but to her surprise, what appeared before her was a square-shaped man with even less hair than Teacher Wang.

Out of politeness and good manners, Tang Ying greeted the man in a friendly manner.

“I heard from my grandfather that you are very busy with work, so you don’t have time to date.”

From the way the man looked at Tang Ying, it was clear that he was quite satisfied with her. After all, Tang Ying was beautiful, came from a good family, and had an excellent education.

"Hmm..." Tang Ying picked up the water on the table and took a sip. She really felt awkward in this situation.

“My family says that people who can become doctors are highly educated and very smart, which is good for the next generation.”

"Huh?" Tang Ying was stunned. They had only said a few words, how did they get to talking about the next generation?

Seeing that Tang Ying didn't react much, the man continued to try to start a conversation, "You don't talk much, are you shy because you're on a blind date?"

"No, I've been quite busy with work these past few days, and I haven't quite adjusted yet."

“I don’t think girls need to work too hard. You should know about our family background. If we get married, you should quit your job.” The man’s eyes were filled with a sense of superiority when he talked about his family background.

Just now it was about the next generation, and now it's about marriage. Tang Ying thought to herself, speechless: This guy must be a little crazy.

"With a family background like yours, you should have a beautiful wife and children by your side. Why are you still going on blind dates?"

"When it comes to marriage, of course I want to marry someone of equal social standing. As for the other women who want to marry me, I'll just play around with them."

From the man's words, Tang Ying sensed that he wasn't a respectable person.

"So you think I'm a good match in terms of social standing?"

"Of course, besides, your grandfather is getting old. You should get married and have children while he's still alive, so he can rest easy."

Hearing the man in front of her mention her maternal grandfather, Tang Ying couldn't help but wonder if his family had chosen her as the sole heir to her grandfather's fortune.

"But I feel that I'm not at the point where I need to get married yet." Tang Ying finally reached the point where she had to refuse the man.

"As far as I know, you are almost thirty years old. The best age for a woman to have children is between 25 and 29. Once you are past that age, it will be very difficult for you to get married."

From the man's words, Tang Ying could tell that in his eyes, women were nothing more than reproductive tools.

"What do you think is the value of a woman in this society?"

The man blurted out, "Of course, it's about being a good wife and mother, and carrying on the family line."

"Hasn't your braid been cut yet?" Tang Ying had reached her limit with the man in front of her.

"What braid?" The man actually raised his hand and touched his already thin hair.

The man's idiotic appearance made Tang Ying laugh in exasperation. "I've never seen a cerebellum before. I've finally met one today."

After saying that, Tang Ying got up and prepared to leave the restaurant.

Seeing that Tang Ying was about to leave, the man stood up, pointed at her, and yelled, "What do you mean? Just because you've had a few more years of education and a bit of family background, you think you can act all high and mighty?!"

Tang Ying stopped and turned around, giving him a disdainful look. "Yes, if you can't stand it, then call the police."

These words infuriated the man, and he unleashed a torrent of abuse while pointing at Tang Ying's retreating figure. However, Tang Ying was too lazy to pay him any attention; to say another word to him would be an insult to her.

In the parking lot, Tang Ying opened the driver's side door and gracefully got into the car. At this moment, she desperately needed someone to vent her frustrations about, and that person was none other than Ming Wei.

Tang Ying didn't want to stay in this unlucky place for even a minute longer, so she drove her car out of the restaurant parking lot as quickly as possible. Immediately afterwards, Tang Ying put on her Bluetooth headset and dialed Ming Weiyi's number.

"where?"

"Lying at home like a corpse."

"Send me the address of your new home, I'll be there right away."

After a few brief words, Tang Ying hung up the phone. Right now, she really had a lot of things to say and wanted to complain to Ming Weiyi.

From Tang Ying's words, Ming Wei could tell that she was in a very bad mood. Considering that she had gone on a blind date today, Ming Wei could probably guess what had happened.

Less than twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Ming Wei quickly ran to the door and opened it.

"Look at you, what kind of guy did you meet on your blind date today?" That's how best friends are; they always know where to hit the nail on the head.

"He's practically a brain-damaged child. I suspect his mother left his cerebellum in the placenta when she gave birth to him."

"Hahaha...I'm dying of laughter..." Ming Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tang Ying walked straight to the living room, not at all treating it like someone else's home.

Walking into the living room, Tang Ying looked around at the interior decoration and furnishings. "Your new home looks really nice, it suits your persona."

"Oh, that's not important. Tell me quickly what that cerebral palsy guy said today." Ming Wei also hurriedly pulled Tang Ying to sit on the sofa.

"The moment I met him, he said I was suitable to have children for his family..."

"Ah, are there really men who are this shameless?" Ming Wei was also shocked. There really are all kinds of birds in this big forest.

Tang Ying nodded sharply. "He was also strangely confident, saying that his family was rich and that I should quit my job after marrying him."

"Hahaha... Doesn't your family have any money?! How dare he do that!"

Tang Ying picked up the juice on the coffee table and took a sip. She continued to complain, "Also, he said I'm almost thirty. If I'm past the best age for childbearing, I won't be able to get married in another two years."

"Damn it! Whose nonsense did your grandfather believe to make you go on a blind date with this single-celled organism?" Hearing these words, Ming Wei was even angrier than Tang Ying.

“People told him that my grandson is honest and doesn’t talk much, which is why he hasn’t found a suitable marriage partner yet. But I think he’s just old and doesn’t talk much!”

When Tang Ying said those words, her eyes were practically rolling out of their sockets.

"Hahaha...that's absolutely brilliant!"

"He thinks I can't figure out what their family is up to? They just want me to quit my job, stay home to be a wife and mother, and gradually lose my social skills so that once my father passes away, their family will be left with nothing?"

Mingwei slapped Tang Ying's thigh in admiration, "Wow! You even thought of that, you're amazing!"

"I'm not stupid."

"By the way, what does this guy look like?" Ming Wei was also very curious about what kind of person would say such a thing.

"It's a square in length and width, the hair is thin, and most importantly, the facial features are randomly placed on the face, like a speck of mud that Nuwa casually sprinkled."

Tang Ying spoke seriously, but Ming Wei burst out laughing, "Hahaha...you're really going to make me laugh to death..."

Tang Ying couldn't laugh at all. She looked at Ming Weiyi with disdain and said, "What are you laughing at? I'm just telling the truth."
