An older single woman meets a domineering CEO on a blind date

As soon as we started talking about my parents, I felt like the sky was getting dark. I didn’t want to talk anymore so I changed the subject.

Asked my bestie how she was doing recently

Girlfriend: I’ll just be like that!

Here I will talk about my best friend's situation. She is married and has been married for half a year. She is not pregnant yet. What about her husband? How should I put it? He is not very ambitious. He is the kind of lazy and likes to daydream, thinking about getting rich overnight! So my best friend's life is not so good.

Me: When are you planning to have a baby?

Best friend: I haven’t thought about it and I don’t want it for now. You know my situation. What I earn now is just enough for our living expenses. If I have another child, I won’t be able to go to work!

I feel like we would starve to death if I rely on my husband to support me and my child, so I’m thinking of working hard to save some money!

Me: That’s fine, don’t give birth so early, or the child will tie you down. It will be inconvenient for you to go anywhere, let alone other things.

Girlfriend: Hey, if I hadn’t married so early, would I have found someone better? Sometimes when I see others living well, I regret the way I live now.

Especially when I look at other people's husbands and then look at the one in my family, I really feel so disappointed sometimes. My parents-in-law can't help me much. I don't know why I fell in love with him in the first place.

Me: It’s nothing, maybe it will get better in the future. You live your life for yourself, not for others to see. Look, I’m a first-time married man, and the man I’m dating is a second-time married man who’s much older than me. Others don’t think it’s good! But I live my life for myself! It’s OK as long as I feel comfortable in my heart. There’s no need to care too much about other people’s opinions.

Best friend: I don’t care about other people’s opinions. Look at you, even though you are like this with an old man now, I don’t know what you will be like in the future.

Even if the two of you are really together in the future, at least you don’t have to worry about the family’s living expenses, because he will earn the money. Unlike me, I am afraid that he won’t be able to support a child. Tell me, what kind of life am I living?

I don't know why I got married in the first place. If I had known this would happen, wouldn't it be better for me to be single? One person can feed the whole family. Now I am living in dire straits.

I don’t know how to persuade my best friend. To be honest, her conditions are indeed average. Her parents-in-law are not reliable, and she only has two people working to earn money. The most important thing is that her husband has no ambition.

Maybe this is everyone's fate, it is destined and cannot be escaped.

My best friends are all pretty, but they look pretty good with makeup on. They are not as tall as me, but not much plumper than me (haha). So it is relatively easy for girls to find a good man if they dress up. I really don't know why I married my current husband.

Soon we arrived at the county town. My best friend drove to her house first and dropped her off. Then I drove back to my house. When I got home, I felt so tired! I went to bed to rest and sleep.

I kept dreaming in my sleep. I dreamed that I found out that the uncle had another woman besides me. After I found out, he still refused to admit it and quarreled with me, saying that I was always suspicious and didn't believe him. Later, I was so angry that I cried and woke up from the dream.

I looked at the time and realized I had slept for quite a long time. It’s almost evening!

At this time, I remembered that I hadn't seen my mother for a long time, so I drove to her store to find her. (After my mother and my father separated, she ran the store on her own.)

When I first arrived at the store, I didn't see my mother, but business was pretty good. I asked the cashier, and he said my mother was outside and would be back soon, so he told me to sit anywhere.

Not long after I sat down, my mother came back.

My mother was stunned when she saw me and asked me why I had time to come here today?

Me: Why, I missed you! I came to see you.

My mother: Have you eaten?

I don't

My mom: I haven’t eaten either, so let’s eat together!

When I was having dinner with my mother, I wanted to find out what she thought.

Me: Mom, do you have any requirements for your future son-in-law?

My mother: As long as she treats you well, that's enough! Secondly, her family should be similar, and of equal status, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with the mother-in-law after she gets married. The most important thing is that she treats you well.

Me: What if it’s a second marriage?

My mother got anxious when she heard this. When will it be your turn to marry someone who has been married twice? Although our family is not particularly rich, it is not so poor that we will let you marry someone who has been married twice!

I said: "Oh, Mom, why are you so anxious? I was just making an analogy! Why are you so excited?"

My mom: Why are you asking me this? Are you dating someone who is getting divorced?

Me: No, mom, what are you thinking about? I was just saying it casually.

I used to say my mother was easy to talk to. It gives me a headache to see her like this now.

After eating with my mother, I drove back to my home, not in a good mood.

When I got home, my dad hadn't come back yet. I washed up and went to bed.

I received a message from an uncle asking me what I was doing? Did I eat?

Me: I have eaten, just washed up and lay down

Uncle: Oh, I just finished.

At this time, I thought of the dream I had in the afternoon, so I told the uncle about it.

Uncle: Don't let your imagination run wild. Since I've been with you, there has been no other woman around me. Don't worry! I'm serious about you. You can imagine that at my age, I just want to find someone suitable to live with. I don't want to play around with feelings, nor do I want to waste time. So, little thing, I've already recognized you!

Me: Who knows if what you say is different from what you think?

Uncle: Time can prove everything

I talked to the uncle again, and during dinner I tried to find out about my mother.

Uncle: Just wait and see! If it doesn’t work, I’ll think of a way.

After chatting for a while, I felt sleepy and took a break.

The days go by like this, going to work, going home from get off work, and it seems that nothing new happens.
