Chapter 697 Blind Date

The car quickly pulled up to the Lawrence's Mansion. Zane opened the door and walked around to help Yanis out of the car. "Take it slow," he said.

Yanis looked at Zane's outstretched hand and took it, using it for support as he got out of the car. "Are Uncle Dylan and them here tonight?" he asked. Zane glanced over at Yanis before answering, "Grandma didn't say."

Yanis closed the car door behind him and followed Zane into the Lawrence's Mansion side by side.

"Brother, sister-in-law," Phoebe greeted them as they entered. She was standing in front of some flowers in the courtyard.

"Why aren't you inside?" Yanis asked her.

Phoebe shrugged her shoulders, "It doesn't suit me."

After speaking with Zane for a moment, Phoebe turned to him again and said, "Brother, why don't you go inside first? I'll chat with sister-in-law outside for a bit."

Zane nodded his head in agreement before letting go of Yanis' hand and heading inside.

"When did you get back?" Yanis asked Phoebe softly as he sat down on a nearby chair. "This morning," she replied. "I had a client project over here so I came to check things out."

"And did everything work out okay?" Yanis wondered aloud.

Phoebe nodded her head before continuing on with her story: "I actually found something this morning that I really liked but then my dad called me saying my mom had fainted so now I'm back here." Concerned about Aunt Rachel's health status after hearing this news from Phoebe earlier on their way there, Yanis asked if she was okay now?

"She's fine," Phoebe reassured him with a shake of her head. "She's just mad at me right now because she set up an arranged marriage meeting without telling me."

"An arranged marriage meeting?!" exclaimed Yanis incredulously upon hearing this news from his sister-in-law who seemed quite unhappy about it all herself too.. "Yeah," sighed Phoebe heavily."I don't want to be married off yet."

Yanis wasn't sure what advice or suggestions he could offer since he'd never experienced anything like that himself before either: "Do you have any ideas?" "I can't think of anything right now," admitted Phoebe dejectedly."All I know is that I'm not ready for marriage yet."

"Have you talked to Aunt Rachel about how you feel?" suggested Yanishopefully.

"I told her how i felt already but obviously she didn't listen," replied phobe feeling helpless about situation

The two continued chatting until eventually they decided it was time to join everyone else inside.."Do you not want to get married?"

As soon as Phoebe spoke, Zane's voice came from behind her.

Yanis and Phoebe turned around to see Zane sitting next to Yanis. He looked at Phoebe and said, "Aunt Rachel has bad taste." Upon hearing this, Phoebe looked at Zane with a questioning look. "Brother, that guy is no good, right?"

Zane nodded in agreement. "I met him before..."

But then he suddenly stopped speaking.

"What happened before?" Yanis asked when he noticed Zane's sudden pause in speech. "Have you met him before?"

Zane nodded again. "In any case, that guy is no good."

"I'm going to go tell my mom that the man she set me up with isn't a decent person! She can't just push me into a fire pit like this!" As she spoke these words, Phoebe stood up and started walking towards Rachel.

"Wait!" Just as she was getting up from her seat, Zane called out to her. "Let's talk about it later; if you go in now it'll just make Aunt Rachel lose face."

After hearing what Zane had said, Phoebe sat back down again and muttered under her breath: "My mom must be going through menopause or something; I don't know why she suddenly arranged for me to meet someone like this."

Zane remained silent.

The truth was that both Rachel and Dylan had played a part in setting up the blind date between Phoebe and the unsuitable man.

Just two days ago Old Mr. Lawrence and Old Mrs. Lawrence kept asking when Zane planned on having children with Yanis so they could have grandchildren of their own.

Zane was getting annoyed by all their questions so he casually mentioned how Phoebe was already 25 or 26 years old but still didn't have a boyfriend yet; maybe they should worry about replaceing someone for her instead?

So when Old Mr. LawrenceandOldMrs. Lawrence heard this suggestion they naturally thought it would be nice ifPhoebecould replace herselfa boyfriend too.

This idea eventually made its way back toRachel who had been feeling envious lately after hearing other wealthy wives bragging about how well their daughters were doing after marriage or how great their sons' wives were turning outto be--some even boasting about how cute their grandchildren were! It madeRachel itchwith jealousy inside.

Nowadays, Dylan wasn't really involvedin runningtheLawrence Group business anymore. He only went there occasionallyto check things out, buthe wasn't exactly busy either. Rachel, on the other hand, had nothing better todo than play cards all day long. She felt lonely withoutPhoebearound, and sometimes shewouldjust sit alone withher husband watching TV.

So whenOldMr. LawrenceandOld Mrs. Lawrencesuggested replaceing someone forPhoebeto date, Rachel decideditwas worth consideringtoo... The blind date was arranged in a hurry by Rachel for Phoebe. The guy she set up was the son of her card-playing partner's wife. The background seemed clean, but there were some personal issues with his lifestyle that were concerning.

Naturally, the card-playing partner's wife didn't mention anything about her son's problems during dinner and kept it hidden.

The meal went well, and Mrs. Weeks was pleased with Phoebe. She almost sealed the deal at the dinner table.

After seeing him off, everyone sat down to discuss this matter.

"Aunt Rachel, I think we should let Phoebe take things slow," Yanis said timely as he poured water for Rachel. Rachel and Dylan looked at Yanis simultaneously when he spoke up.

Yanis had a calm expression on his face as he asked Phoebe what she thought about it.

"I also think so," Phoebe quickly chimed in. "I wanted to say that earlier but I didn't want you guys to get angry."

Rachel knew Yanis wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, so after hearing him out, she turned to him and whispered softly: "Yanis, do you have something else to say?"

Yanis glanced at Zane before replying: "I heard from Zane that he saw Mr. Weeks at a nightclub before; his company is surrounded by questionable characters. Maybe you should get Linda better acquainted with him before deciding whether or not they should be together?"

Zane and Phoebe both looked over at Yanis after hearing what he said since Zane only mentioned half of it earlier outside - just that Mr. Weeks wasn't reliable enough.

Zane cleared his throat lightly: "I agree with Yanis; Auntie needs to know more about him before making any decisions."

Dylan turned towards Rachel on this topic: "You didn't even bother getting more information about him? You just brought someone home like that?"

"How would I know?" Rachel replied helplessly while shaking her head." He came twice already when picking up his mother; we all thought he seemed decent enough together - several of us agreed on inviting him over here... who knew..."

"Mrs. Lawrence is right," Old Mrs. Lawrence interjected timely." This matter requires caution; don't wait until after marriage only then realize what kind of person they are - let's not make Linda suffer."
