When the woman with heavy makeup noticed that Fade Chen was coming over with Mindy Wu, she couldn't help scrutinizing him. She looked him from head to toe with a disdainful expression. Then, she said

to Mindy doubtfully, "Mindy, who is this guy?"

Mindy introduced him to her, "He's my friend, Fade. I invited him to join us."

The woman seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said, "Mindy, I don't think it's appropriate for you to bring a friend here on this occasion."

Mindy frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't really matter since we are just having a meal. We are all friends, so there is nothing inappropriate."

At this moment, Fish, the little girl, also said in a clear voice, "I want Brother Superman to eat with us. I want him to stay with us."

Hearing this, the woman did not say much. She snorted softly and turned away. "Alright," she said.

After finishing to speak, the woman walked ahead of them, as if she was a model doing the catwalk on the runway. Her high heels

made a loud sound and she swayed gracefully. She attracted a lot of attention from the people in the mall.

Mindy slowed down her pace and fell behind. She kept apologizing to Fade, "I'm sorry Fade. She is my high school classmate, Juliana Liu. She invited me to have a meal together with another friend. Hope you don't mind."

Fade shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't mind. Let's have a meal together. The more the merrier."

After that, they went to a Japanese restaurant on the second floor.

Juliana had booked the table, so they entered the restaurant and took their seats.

Since Juliana's friend hadn't arrived yet, they asked for tea to be served and didn't order any food.

While drinking tea, Juliana chatted with Mindy. She said, "Mindy, although you never complain about it, I know that it isn't easy for you as a single mother to take care of your daughter. It must be hard for you to bring her up from young till this day all by yourself."

"Forgive me for being so frank. We are turning 30 this year. If we don't look for a good companion, it will be even more difficult for us in the future. Your daughter's name is Fish, right? She is still young, so maybe the situation is still manageable for you. However, she will be going to school soon, and surely the expenses will increase. You will have to bear all the costs, including fees for reputable schools, additional tuition classes, extracurricular activities, and living expenses. The total of all these expenses will not be a small amount of money."

After sipping some tea, Juliana continued, "Therefore, you have to seize this opportunity. The man I'm introducing to you is four years older than you. He's in his thirties and he has a child who's about the same age as your daughter. He's a businessman and his assets are worth tens of millions of yuan. He's definitely a rare gentleman you can scarcely replace anywhere else. Quite a number of women want to date him. It's not easy for me to make this appointment with him. You should try to make a good impression on him later."

After listening to what she said, Mindy looked a little awkward. She sipped her tea and said, "Juliana, I'm fine even though I'm single right now. Since it's my first time meeting this guy, I will just talk to him casually."

Fade understood the situation even though no one had explained it to him.

Mindy's high school classmate seemed to be a matchmaker and she had introduced her to a guy for a blind date.

Mindy seemed to be a little reluctant. Perhaps she couldn't replace any good reasons to reject her friend's invitation, so she just came to meet this guy for a meal.

After seeing Mindy's indifferent expression, Juliana frowned and said," Mindy, stop being lackadaisical about this matter. Women above 30 years old are not as 'valuable' as young women. Our status becomes significantly lower. By that time, you had better not regret―"

While she was still trying to advise Mindy, her cell phone rang.

Juliana's face lit up when she saw the caller ID. She picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Director Xu! Yes, yes, we're here. Yes, it's on the second floor. Well, I'll go out and pick you up."

"Mindy, the person is here. Try to make a good impression on him later," Juliana said. After hanging up the phone, Juliana winked at Mindy. Then, she walked out quickly with a smile.

After Juliana left, Mindy was a little embarrassed and anxious. She explained to Fade, "I'm sorry, Fade. She didn't tell me about the blind date when she invited me for today's meal. She just told me about this after we met, so I couldn't decline-"

Fade smiled gently and said, "It's okay, it's understandable. If the guy is suitable for you, it's not a bad idea to have him taking care of you and Fish."

Mindy's eyes flashed with complex emotions. She glanced at Fade and was about to say something. The words were stuck in her throat and she was silent.

Fish pouted when she heard this. She grabbed Mindy and Fade's arms and said in a clear voice, "I only want Mom and Brother Superman to accompany me. I don't want anyone else to accompany me."

Hearing that, Fade patted her little hand with a smile and said, "Alright, Brother Superman will promise you that I will accompany you forever."

"Yay!" The little girl nodded with satisfaction. Then, she moved her dark eyes and said, "Mom as well. Brother Superman, you have to accompany Mom."

Mindy was astonished and she blushed. She smiled apologetically at Fade, lowered her head, and looked at Fish saying, "Do not simply say this kind of thing. I—"

Fish pouted and said firmly, "No, I meant what I said. I want Brother Superman to be with Mom."

Fade stroked the little girl's head with a smile and chuckled. He said, "Okay, okay. Don't be angry. Brother Superman will promise you that he'll be with you and your mom in the future, okay?"

Hearing Fade's promise, the little girl revealed a bright smile. Her unhappy expression turned into a joyful expression. "Great! Brother Superman is the best," she said.

Mindy was about to tell Fade something.

At this moment, the sound of a series of footsteps approaching could be heard, and they heard Juliana's voice. "Mindy, Mr. Xu is here," she said.

Hearing the sound, they turned and looked in that direction. Then, they saw Juliana coming over with a man in formal attire.

As soon as he saw the man, Fade's face suddenly fell. He narrowed his eyes and said with a slight surprise, "This is the guy?"

Fish frowned and said loudly, "Bad guy!"

Facing them, Mr. Xu in the suit was surprised and excited when he saw Mindy. His eyes lit up. However, when his gaze fell on Fade and Fish, his expression suddenly changed and he stood still. "You're here!" he said.

Mindy and Juliana were stunned and perplexed as they looked at each other. They said in confusion, "Do you guys know each other?"

Fade whispered in Mindy's ears, "This is the person we had a conflict with at the playground just now."

"Wait, what?" After knowing the truth, Mindy frowned. She was unhappy that her friend had introduced such a selfish guy to her, even though she didn't go on blind dates often.

On the other side, Juliana and Mr. Xu whispered to each other. Juliana's face also fell after she knew what had happened.

She frowned and walked over with a sullen expression. She glanced at Fade coldly and spoke to Mindy, " Mindy, do you know what happened just now, in regards to the conflict between your friend and your daughter with Mr. Xu and his son?"
