Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1752 - Unbreakable Bonds of Love

Chapter 1752: Unbreakable Bonds of Love

In the early afternoon, there were not many people in the cafe, with only a few couples having a date.
Xu Zhenyu sat impatiently in the cafe, looking at his watch continuously. He was in a military uniform, looking impressive and majestic, and did not fit in with the vibe of the cafe. This attracted the attention of the customers and service staff.
Xu Zhenyu was annoyed and took a magazine off the shelf beside him, and he was momentarily stunned when he saw it.
On the cover of the magazine was a huge photograph of Wen Xinya looking refined in an interview. It reported the entire acquisition war between Lanxin Corporation and T-K Corporation, as well as the legendary sales volumes that Lanxin Corporation set after they were listed.
He was momentarily stunned.
Recently, all that the media had been reporting on was about Lanxin Corporation and Bella.
And yet, he knew, Lanxin Corporation’s Chairperson that everyone in the business community had been talking about, was Wen Xinya!
Then, a young and pretty lady then sauntered over. “Are you Mr. Xu? Sorry, I’m late due to the traffic.”
Xu Zhenyu looked up, distracted. “Please sit!”
The girl in front of him looked a little like Wen Xinya in all aspects of her looks and vibe, especially those sharp eyes, quiet yet beautiful, and this threw him off.
The girl smiled at Xu Zhenyu, looking him up and down, checking him out. “Hello, Mr. Xu. I’m your date for today, surnamed Su, name…”
Because she was late, Miss Su took the initiative to introduce herself to Xu Zhenyu.
Xu Zhenyu mockingly laughed at himself.
How could it be Wen Xinya?
The similarities were just an illusion.
Wen Xinya would never let him wait unnecessarily, and she had her own unique personality and would never be in any way pretentious. The lady in front of him was not even fit to carry her shoes.
All of a sudden, Xu Zhenyu felt as if everything was dull and pointless.
Miss Su felt a little awkward as Xu Zhenyu did not even reply her at all, and she continued, “Mr. Xu, your mother called me previously and said that she hoped that… that…”
Miss Su’s face reddened due to embarrassment, and she could not complete her sentence.
However, her intentions were clearly on display.
“Miss Su, I feel that there is no point to this blind date anymore, as all of my patience has been used up during the time I waited for you.”
He was 27 years old this year, not too old, but not exactly young either. It was the best time to start a family and work on his career. Grandpa and Mother kept forcing him to go on blind dates.
After discarding all ideas he had for Wen Xinya, he felt as if he was okay marrying anyone in the end, so he did not reject going on blind dates.
However, he realized that he thought too highly of himself.
He did get rid of any ideas of being with Wen Xinya.
However, what he could not get rid of was the love he had for her, deep in his bones.
He realized that he would measure any of his dates up to Wen Xinya in terms of looks and personality, and he would even compare his date to Wen Xinya, finding any similarities between the two of them.
Yet, in the end, he would always realize that Wen Xinya was not replaceable.
Ultimately, he just became disappointed at how dull everything was.
Miss Su was stunned and just stayed on the sofa, momentarily unable to react.
“Sorry, I have to go first.” After that, Xu Zhenyu then immediately paid for the meal and left.
Other than Wen Xinya, he had no patience for any other woman.
The servers gathered to gossip and discuss.
“Such a handsome date, she deserves this for being late.”
“That’s right. In our current society, it’s no longer the girls picking the guys, but the other way around.”
“A man with such good qualities is someone that many would want. If it was me, I would put down any of my reservations and go straight for him.”

Upon walking out of the cafe, Xu Zhenyu heaved a long sigh of relief.
His phone rang, and without even looking, he knew who was calling. He was annoyed but helpless, and eventually picked up the phone, which was persistently ringing.
“Mum, don’t arrange any more blind dates for me. I don’t want to get married right now.” Xu Zhenyu was direct and immediately revealed his thoughts upon picking up the call.
Mother Xu, who was about to give him a lecture, was stunned and only caught herself after a moment. “Are you not satisfied with Miss Su? I’ll find someone more suitable for you next time.”
Mother Xu was extremely helpless when dealing with her son.
Back when he was unbearable, she was not worried about him. Today, when he had so much potential, being the pride of the Xu Family, she was even more worried about him.
Xu Zhenyu impatiently said, “Mother, don’t waste your time anymore. You have arranged so many blind dates for me, if I really wanted to get married, I would have done so long ago.”
He had been annoyed for a long time about the endless blind dates that he had been going to.
He did not want to spend a moment with girls that he did not like, or even hate.
Mother Xu knew exactly what he meant already, but she just wanted the best for him. “Ah Yu, what exactly do you mean?”
She understood that Zhenyu did not want to have a family of his own so soon.
However, because he did not reject her blind date arrangements, although he was only bearing with it, she was hoping for the best in her heart.
“Mother, I will carry on the legacy of the Xu Family, but the bloodline of the Xu Family can be carried on by my brother! With him around, the Xu Family will always have descendants.”
Xu Zhenyu slowly spoke from the bottom of his heart, and after he said it, he suddenly felt as if he was released from a heavy burden. He felt a lot more at ease.
To marry someone that he did not even love was akin to harming both himself and that person.
Why not just let one person be lonely?
Mother Xu staggered. Her body felt cold and she pursed her lips. “What did you say?”
She could not believe what she was hearing and felt a bolt from the blue as if the entire world was spinning.
“Mother, I don’t want to get married. I don’t want to marry anybody that I don’t like. Don’t force me anymore, or I will go overseas.” In order to get his point across, he made it clear.
As a descendant of the Xu Family, he was destined to be unfilial.
Therefore, he shall contribute all he could to the Xu Family.
Mother Xu was shivering badly. “Are you, still thinking of Wen Family…”
She was stunned. She felt as if she was suddenly ten years older.
How would she, as Zhenyu’s mother, not know his thoughts?
Over these years, she continuously looked for partners for Zhenyu to have him start a family soon and forget about Miss Wen. Yet, he could not let go of her.
She already knew long ago that this would happen one day, but she refused to give up.
Today was that day, and she felt absolutely horrible.
She felt distressed for her dear son, who could not get what he wanted and had his entire life ruined.
If she knew this was going to happen, she would have wanted him to be the dandy kid who never grew up.
“Mother, I’m going to hang up now. I will explain myself to Grandpa.” Xu Zhenyu cut her off and hung up the phone.
He took a deep breath. There were things that he needed to say.
