Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 59

"Fiona, I can't help but feel that this is hopeless," Tina confessed as they walked out the restaurant. She ran her hand through her hair and sighed.

Hearing this, Fiona took Tina's left hand in hers, and they carefully peered inside the window. There, they saw Mandy and Bruce were talking to each other cheerfully.

"Well, if I'm being honest, I think that Mr. Xu likes my older sister," exclaimed Fiona. In truth, she was quite pleased with herself as her sixth sense was obviously spot on.

"Why do I feel that the two of us should be embarrassed?" Tina sighed.

"Why are you feeling embarrassed? If Mr. Xu becomes my brother-in-law, no one in school can ever do anything bad to us. We'd be practically untouchable! Isn't that great?" Fiona said, giving a hearty laugh. There were a lot of thoughts that flashed through Fiona's mind as she listened to their conversation. Nevertheless, she was quite optimistic about Mandy and Bruce's blooming relationship.

The dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere. When Bruce politely offered that he would be glad to drive them back home, Mandy was very delighted.

At the MC Garden

Mandy called Lillian and told her that she wouldn't be back to the villa tonight. At that moment, Lillian didn't know what to say. She only always did what Mr. Jin had told her.

"Fiona, Mandy, have you had dinner yet?" Madeline asked as she stepped out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit salad.

"Yes. We had dinner at a restaurant," replied Fiona. Reaching out, she grabbed a slice of fruit from the plate.

In the Zhou Family, Madeline and Stanley had always preferred Fiona over their own daughter. They doted on her very much.

"I have something to tell you, Mandy," Madeline said seriously as she turned off the television.

"What is it, Mom?" Mandy asked as she put a piece of watermelon into her mouth. 'It's so cozy and warm here at home!' she thought as she sighed to herself.

"Justin Lin is the only child of the Lin Group, and he just came back from America last month. I figured that it might be nice for the two of you to get together since you are a returnee just like him," Madeline explained. Turning to Stanley, she gave a quick wink. In truth, she had hoped that Stanley would be the one to say this to Mandy, but Stanley was unwilling to say this sort of thing. So Madeline had to tell Mandy herself.

"Mom, what are you trying to say?" Looking back and forth between Madeline and Stanley, Mandy's brows furrowed on her forehead.

And then, soon enough, Mandy realized that her mother was trying to set up a blind date!

"Your Aunt Melissa is introducing a potential boyfriend to you. You know your mother is a bashful woman. Plus, Aunt Melissa and I have been friends for so many years. How can I refuse her?" Madeline tried to reason with her daughter.

"Mom, you know that Aunt Melissa is the owner of a matchmaking agency. She is a matchmaker, and matchmaking is her business! You are practically selling your daughter to her! What do I know about this Justin Lin? I have no interest in him!" Mandy protested. There was a touch of anger in Mandy's tone. When it came to the people she dated, she at least wanted to have a say on the matter.

Besides, she had just gotten out of her last relationship. Getting into another relationship was the least of her priorities at the moment.

To begin with, she was already really annoyed by Nathan. And now, she had to deal with this Justin fellow. There was no way she would agree to this, and it was pretty evident on her face that she was highly against meeting Justin for a date.

"Aunt Melissa is kind, and she hopes that you can get out of the shadow of being lovelorn as soon as possible. Mandy, to tell you the truth, I've personally looked up Justin on the Internet. He is healthy and reliable, without the slightest conceit...I'd say he's a very noble, young man." As Madeline continued to persuade Mandy, her hands were flying across the air as if to paint a picture for her.

"All right, all right, Mom. Just stop speaking! I'll go, I'll go!" By now, Mandy was annoyed with Madeline's nagging. She knew her mother well enough to know that she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted.

"Starbucks, Eaton Square, next Wednesday night. Don't miss it!" Madeline chirped with excitement, nearly jumping with joy. It was obvious that it had already been planned with or without Mandy's approval.

With a sigh, Mandy rubbed the back of her head. Suddenly, her mobile phone began ringing.

Casting a quick glance, Fiona saw the name of the caller on Mandy's phone. It was Mr. Xu. Seeing this, Fiona couldn't help but make a face and smile with delight.
