“Rui Rui, come and try this dress.”

“This scarf pairs with it well.”

“And this set of jewellery too. It was a gift for your twentieth birthday, you should wear it today. Let’s ask your father to give you another set on your next birthday. “

In a dreamy princess styled room in the Su house, Mrs. Su is currently happily busying herself with choosing various dresses and accessories.

The person in front of Mrs. Su is Mrs. Su and her husband Su Hong Yuan’s only daughter, Su Rui, the little princess of the Su family.

Looking at the daughter in front of her who was obediently getting dressed up (tormented), Mrs. Su was filled with emotions.

Two years ago, Su Rui was rebellious and would always be complaining that she had no freedom and no human rights at home. In the end, she forced her parents to send her to study in the United States by threatening to commit suicide.

For the past two years, Su Rui rarely contacted her family. No one would have expected that the next time they received a call from the United States, they would hear that Su Rui was seriously injured due to a derailed roller coaster at an amusement park.

The moment she received the news, Liu Yue was frightened to death.

Both Liu Yue and her husband borrowed a business partner’s private plane and brought Sui Rui, who was out of danger, back to the country overnight.

After Su Rui recuperated in the hospital for two months, she recovered.

Mrs. Su couldn’t imagine what would have happened if she didn’t have her daughter. Therefore, when she came back, Mrs Su began to spoil and give in to Su Rui more.

She didn’t know whether it was because Su Rui had gotten over her rebellious phase or if the change was due to the accident that had occurred, but Mrs. Su realised that after her daughter returned, she had become more sensible and obedient, making people like her to death.

Of course, Mrs Su was unaware that the soul of the sensible daughter in her eyes had actually changed.

The current Su Rui was a transmigrator.

In Su Rui’s original world, due to an accident a few years ago, her father fled after taking all of her family’s money, her mother took her younger brother and remarried, while Su Rui was left relying on the little living expenses her mother sent her every month as a means of livelihood.

Life didn’t get better until Su Rui graduated from college and became financially independent.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. In less than two years of work, Su Rui found out that she suffered from AS syndrome which caused her to spend all her savings but to no avail, as there was no improvement in her health. Su Rui laid on the hospital bed lifelessly for three years. In the end, she couldn’t live through it.

Su Rui thought that she was dead, but she didn’t expect to wake up again.

Su Rui woke up in the hospital. At that time, looking at the familiar white wall, she thought that she had been saved by the doctor and transferred to a higher class ward.

It wasn’t until a month later that some of the memories that appeared intermittently in her head were pieced together. It was then that Su Rui knew she had transmigrated.

The original owner had died in a roller coaster accident and her soul just happened to have transmigrated at that time.

She saw this body’s mother accompanying her every day beside her hospital bed and learned that the middle aged man who visited her after work was the original owner’s father.

The Su family’s business dealt with the production of sand and stone. In more recent years, the Su family had made a fortune in real estate. According to the original owner’s memories, Su Rui worked out that the Su family was counted as a wealthy and influential family.

As the chairman of Su Hua enterprise, Su Hong Yuan should be very busy, and as the wife of the head of a wealthy and influential family, Liu Yue should have a lot of dinner parties to attend to every day.

However, they still try their best to let go of the matters at hand and accompany her in the hospital, which showed how much they love they held for their daughter.

Su Rui hadn’t expected to feel the warmth of family that she hadn’t felt in a long time, and more importantly, that she would be healthy and full of vitality.

This was what Su Rui, who used to lay in the hospital bed, yearned for the most.

She didn’t know if it was a reward from heaven for the three years of being in a vegetative state but anyways, Su Rui secretly vowed very, very earnestly that she would live a good life this time around!

Facing Mrs. Su’s concern, the original owner would have been annoyed, but Su Rui didn’t feel repulsed.

“Mum, I don’t really want to wear this necklace.”

“What’s the matter? Rui Rui doesn’t like this necklace?”

“No, that’s not it. It’s just that I am afraid that I’ll be robbed when wearing this necklace outside.” Looking at the exquisite necklace in the box, Su Rui truthfully said her concerns.

Plus, isn’t too extravagant to wear such a necklace just to go out?

“Rob? Who dares to rob us, the Su Family. If it really happens, let’s see how your dad will deal with them!” Liu Yue said very confidently.

“But you are right, Rui Rui. It would be too rude to dress up extravagantly for an afternoon tea gathering that has elders present. We’ll keep this set for the next party. “

“Come look, how about this little starfish?”

Looking at another necklace that Mrs Su took out, there was only a small starfish, but a ruby was mounted on the necklace. It was a simple and tasteful style but also playful. It was very suitable for the current Su Rui.

“It looks good,” Su Rui nodded with a smile.

“That’s good. Come, mum will put it on for you.” While putting on the necklace for Su Rui, Liu Yue assessed Su Rui with her eyes and nodded repeatedly. “Our family’s Rui Rui is so beautiful! I’m sure that it will attract…”

“Attract what?”

“What what? Nothing. Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll be late for our appointment this afternoon.”

The two people sat in the family car and left at Su Mother’s urging.

“Mum, you aren’t bringing me to a blind date today, right?” In the car, Su Rui finally couldn’t help but voiced out on her speculations.

“Ah!” Su Rui Rui’s words made Liu Yue suddenly surprised. “Rui Rui, how did you know?”

“I guessed it of course. Other than a blind date, what else can it be? This type of 4 person appointment between two families with elders bringing their sons and daughters along is not a new combination at all.”

“Well, Rui Rui ah, listen to Mum, Mum didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was afraid that telling you in advance would cause you to feel pressured.” Unable to understand her daughter’s expression at the moment, Liu Yue quickly explained.

Of course, she was also afraid that Su Rui would be agitated and run away from home after she knew about it.

“It’s Mum’s fault to hide this from you. Mum will apologise to you.”

Liu Yue wanted to apologise but Su Rui suddenly held up her hand.

“It’s just a blind date. How can I allow Mum to apologise to me?” Su Rui said indifferently.

“Rui Rui, you aren’t angry?”

“Not really.” If it was in the past, Su Rui would probably find the phrase blind date to be repulsive since to her it would mean an arranged marriage.

But after a year of struggling in society and lying in bed for three years, Su Rui could now look at the problem calmly and objectively.

As parents, they would care about their children’s marriage. That was why they seriously arranged the blind date. What’s more, to have a blind date in itself was not bad. If there was a bond, she would make an attempt. If there was no bond, they wouldn’t force her.

Listening to Su Rui’s tone that was relaxed and not angry, Liu Yue’s heart finally felt relieved.

However, there was still some uneasiness.

“Rui Rui, don’t pay any mind to those nonsensical family arranged marriages made for business cooperation. Our family is rich, we don’t need to do any of these. Mum arranged this blind date hoping that you would be able to find your fated person. Although you are still young, we are starting earlier so that we can find you the best one!”

Arranged marriages by family were not uncommon in the upper class circle, but Liu Yue just didn’t understand those people. How could they bear to marry off the precious daughter that they had personally carried for ten months and given birth to, the one they had held and worried that they would fall, the one they had carefully safeguarded in fear that she would go bad? How could they hastily marry their daughter off for business?

Anyways, there would be no such thing as business marriage in their family.

In Liu Yue’s eyes, her daughter was worth the best.

Moreover, if a suitable one was picked, it would be better to adjust things earlier on.

She didn’t know what was wrong with girls recently. They especially liked more feminine boys. Where was the sense of achievement there?

Recently news broke out that the second young lady of the Yuan Zheng group, because of a little fresh meat[1] in a talent show competition, caused an uproar at home. She even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists.

Thinking about her family, Su Rui’s age, and the previous rebellious period which was longer than others, Liu Yue is worried that Su Rui would also be scammed by those little bastards who were different from their appearance.

Su Rui seemingly understood Li Yue’s worries. She smiled and held her mother’s hands.

“Mum, don’t worry, I know that you have my best interests in mind.”

Su Rui was not the kind of girl who yearned for a supernatural love. In fact, she agreed with Mother Su’s point of view.

Equal economic power, social status, a similar outlook on life, values, world outlook, and even the rhythm of life and social circle with a high degree of harmony may not be able to spark a passionate love like Jack’s[2] but they would be the best guarantee for a long term marriage.

Although it still doesn’t sink in to Su Rui that her family owns a large business, she would need to adapt to it.

“My Rui Rui really grew up!” Su Rui’s words made Liu Yue laugh.

Both of them chatted happily until they reached the appointed café.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Su. Good afternoon, Miss.”

Judging from the style of the café, this was not a place where ordinary consumers would come, but obviously, Liu Yue was already a regular there.

“This café’s desserts are really delicious. When Mum was bored during the two years when you were studying in the United States, I would invite some old sisters to come here for afternoon tea.” Liu Yue explained with a smile.

The implication being that, although it was going to be a blind date, don’t worry girl, this place is your mother’s home field.

Soon afterwards, Liu Yue turned to the waiter and said elegantly, “I have an appointment with Mrs. Gu here today.”

“Mrs. Gu has arrived in the room ahead of time. Mrs. Su and Miss. Su, please follow me.”

“Just a moment.” As they neared the room, Su Rui pulled back Liu Yue.

“Rui Rui?” Liu Yue was worried that her daughter, after coming here, would suddenly go back on her words.

“I’ll go to the bathroom and tidy up. “ Su Rui smiled at Liu Yue soothingly and explained.

After all, this was her first blind date in both of her two lives. She would be more prudent. Su Rui was also a little nervous.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Liu Yue was stunned at first, but then she felt a burst of joy.

Her baby daughter really had grown up.

“Quickly go then. Mum will wait for you in the private room.” Liu Yue said with a gratified smile.

Although she didn’t see anything improper with her daughter, Liu Yue was happy and allowed Su Rui to go.

After all, it was very good for her daughter to have this idea.
