The next day, Xu Qin enthusiastically woke Jiang Mengxin up. From 7 AM to 10 AM, she spent a full three hours on Jiang Mengxin's makeup and styling, making the already stunning Jiang Mengxin even more gentle and captivating.
Xu Qin proudly declared, "With my daughter's looks and temperament, she's an unparalleled beauty, no exaggeration to call her the most beautiful in Jinling."
Jiang Mengxin was speechless. She knew what Xu Qin was trying to do – dress her up prettily to facilitate the blind date with the young master of Biao Niu.
In fact, it was unnecessary.
Jiang Mengxin had made it clear: she was going today to reject the young master, not to go on a blind date, so there was no need to specifically dress up.
But she couldn't resist Xu Qin's enthusiasm and was dolled up beautifully.
Before leaving.
Jiang Mengxin remembered to ask, "What's the name of Biao Niu's young master?"
"Gao Yuheng."
"Okay, got it."
Jiang Mengxin turned and left, driving her own car to the pre-arranged five-star hotel.
On the way, Jiang Mengxin considered whether she should tell Lu Ming about this. After all, such a big matter, not to inform Lu Ming, seemed disrespectful to him.
But the moment she thought of Lu Ming and Peng Ying's incident yesterday, Jiang Mengxin felt a pang of discomfort and decided not to bother telling Lu Ming.
Since she was only going to reject Gao Yuheng, and not really on a blind date, it wasn't a betrayal of Lu Ming. Telling him was unnecessary. If Lu Ming found out and his temper flared, he might beat the other party up, which would be troublesome.
This was a bit of overthinking on Jiang Mengxin's part.
Lu Ming was straightforward, not a hooligan who liked to hit people. Jiang Mengxin's understanding of Lu Ming was not yet complete.
After driving for more than forty minutes, she arrived.
The appointed place was a high-end five-star restaurant. The average consumption here was five thousand six hundred yuan; a normal meal here, even a decent one, would cost over ten thousand yuan.
Gao Yuheng's choice of venue showed both his seriousness towards Jiang Mengxin and his own financial prowess.
However, considering Jiang Mengxin's status and standing, a ten-thousand-yuan lunch was something she could easily afford herself.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, a waiter bowed deeply and said, "Director Jiang, your private room has been reserved. Please follow me."
"You recognize me?" Jiang Mengxin was surprised.
Although she was somewhat famous in Jinling, her fame hadn't reached the point where any waiter would recognize her.
The waiter smiled and said, "The young master of Biao Niu specifically instructed me to welcome you here."
So that's how it was.
Admittedly, Gao Yuheng was a decent person. At least he handled these details very well.
Jiang Mengxin nodded, "Alright, lead me there."
"Director Jiang, please follow me."
Led by the waiter, Jiang Mengxin arrived at the restaurant's VIP private room. Such rooms required advance reservation and were very difficult to secure due to high demand.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Mengxin was even more astonished.
A table full of exquisite dishes.
Most importantly, at a glance, they were all dishes that Jiang Mengxin loved to eat, not a single one she disliked!
What did this signify?
It meant Gao Yuheng had specifically asked Xu Qin, learned Jiang Mengxin's taste, and then meticulously ordered this spread.
This thoughtfulness alone was enough to impress a woman.
However, Jiang Mengxin had seen and experienced much more; she was far from being won over by just a meal.
After a brief moment of surprise, she stepped inside and saw the man in the room – Gao Yuheng.
His appearance was as refined as his name, like polished jade.
Gao Yuheng was fair-skinned and clean-cut, yet he didn't lack masculine vigor. He was over 180 cm tall.
Crucially, he had excellent taste in clothing, dressed impeccably from head to toe.
Men like him, refined and wealthy, were most appealing to women.
And so it was.
Over the years, countless women had pursued Gao Yuheng. Almost every day, people would visit Biao Niu to arrange marriages for him, and daughters from many wealthy families were deeply fond of him.
However, Gao Yuheng was not interested in any of them.
He only had eyes for Jiang Mengxin.
In fact, Jiang Mengxin herself didn't understand why. They seemed to have no prior connection, had never met before, so why would this handsome rich second-generation only be interested in her?
It didn't quite add up.
At this moment, Gao Yuheng smiled and said, "Director Jiang, please sit."
His voice was also very magnetic, with a slight husky undertone that could make one melt just by hearing it.
Gao Yuheng possessed almost all the virtues a man could have.
He was practically perfect!
The waiter walked out, closing the door behind him.
Jiang Mengxin sat down, looking at him with a serious expression. Honestly, Jiang Mengxin was already behaving admirably.
If it were any other woman, seeing such a handsome man would have had her instantly smitten, her eyes full of stars.
But Jiang Mengxin was different.
She remained rational and was contemplating how to reject him politely while achieving her goal. After all, he had been too courteous and handled everything impeccably. A blunt refusal would seem impolite.
How should she begin?
At this moment, Gao Yuheng broke the awkward silence first, looking at Jiang Mengxin very gently and saying, "Director Jiang, you are still as beautiful and captivating as you were three years ago."
Three years ago?
Jiang Mengxin asked, "Have we met before?"
Gao Yuheng nodded, "Yes, though I saw Director Jiang, you might not have seen me. At the Jinling International Art Exhibition three years ago, you debated with a crowd and used your professional knowledge to defeat six or seven foreigners, bringing honor to China. It was then that I was captivated by your temperament and cultivation."
Uh...
So that's how it was.
It was rather embarrassing to admit, but that day Jiang Mengxin had gone to the art exhibition and was pushed aside by six or seven foreigners who insulted her, saying she didn't understand art and was taking up space.
Jiang Mengxin, annoyed, got into an argument with those foreigners and eventually used her professional knowledge to 'defeat' them.
She had vented her frustration and brought honor to China.
To be precise, it was just Jiang Mengxin winning an argument with others, not something particularly noteworthy.
She hadn't expected that Gao Yuheng was present then and fell in love with her because of that argument. It sounded so absurd.
Yet, many things are indeed as bizarre and strange as they are.
Afterward.
Gao Yuheng took out a pre-prepared small red box and placed it on the table, saying, "Director Jiang, this is a small gift I prepared for you. Please accept it."
He opened the box, revealing a diamond ring the size of a quail egg!
It was brilliant, dazzling, and sparkling.
