Julian laughed. “Quinn, if you look at me like that, I might get ahead of myself. Haha.”
“You have every reason to be proud.”
Ring, ring, ring…
Quinn’s phone started to ring.
Seeing that it was a call from her mother, she said to Julian, “When my mom calls me at this time, it’s definitely to tell me that tomorrow’s blind date is canceled.”
As expected, once she answered, her mother scolded, “What kind of ‘high-quality’ man did Felicia introduce? No backbone and believes anything anyone says. I haven’t even minded that he’s pudgy, like a grease bag, but he dares to call my daughter a violent maniac.
“He’s the maniac! His whole family is filled with maniacs. Does he think my daughter can only marry him? Does he think there’s no other man in this world besides that blockhead? I’m so angry! Quinn, you better bring me some good news—find yourself a young, handsome, and capable boyfriend, and prove them wrong!”
“Mom, please calm down. I knew it would turn out this way a long time ago. I had no expectations. Besides, I’m only twenty-four, there’s no hurry. In a few years, I’ll bring you a truly excellent man, and then we can give them a piece of our minds.”
Being rejected by potential blind dates was nothing new for Quinn. Matchmakers in Summervale refused to do business with Quinn because it could easily lower their performance, which was a constant source of frustration.
She was young and attractive, excelling both in martial arts and academics while also having a wealthy family background. Despite all of that, her long history of martial arts training and formidable skills often scared away potential partners.
Zoey suspected that someone was spreading malicious rumors, deliberately trying to paint Quinn as a violent troublemaker.
“You have a big mouth. We’ve been through this so many times yet I don’t see you bringing a boyfriend home either. It’s all your dad’s fault. I wanted to have a daughter and raise her as a lady, but he insisted on teaching you martial arts. Now look, others reject you because you’re too strong, like one punch from you could kill a person.”
Quinn chuckled, “Mom, if they think that I’m brutish, then so be it. I wouldn’t want them as boyfriends anyways.”
After ranting on the phone for twenty minutes before being pacified by Quinn, Zoey finally hung up.
