Chapter 154: It’s A Blind Date
It’s not that Hazel wanted to be suspicious of Ronald. It was just that there was no other real possibility.
Her parents were busy with work and rarely went online, even if they were on the Internet, they would just look for some professional knowledge.
When they had just questioned her, they obviously knew the whole story about her and Joshua, they obviously were told all the information by Ronald.
Ronald looked upset. He reached out and pinched Hazel's cheek. "Hazel, you are my only sister, I don't want to make you sad. Don’t you think I want to help you find a solution? Now, you actually still doubt my reason?"
"Brother, I was wrong." Hazel hurriedly admits her mistake.
Ronald snorted and let go of her hand.
"Brother, don't be angry," Hazel said with courage. "What about the blind date? I don't want to go."
"You must go even if you don’t want to, or our parents will become angrier." Ronald said, "Don't worry, after you go, if you don't like him, just reject him. Mom and Dad just want you to forget about Joshua. They don’t really want you to marry someone."
Hazel was worried, but she nodded. What Ronald said was right, even if she is unwilling to go to comfort her parents, she must go on the blind date.
Ronald went downstairs to see Harry and Rachel, they seemed to be discussing something. When they saw him, they immediately stopped talking.
“Hazel go back to the room?” He said. “She is still angry?”
"Yes, still angry." Ronald was feeling helpless. He managed to comfort Hazel's emotions, but he could still tell she was angry.
"Hazel..." Harry sighed. "I knew that I shouldn’t scare the boys who liked her away. If she had experienced a relationship, she would not be so easy to be manipulated by Joshua. With Hazel’s first love to be such a high standard, I am afraid that it will be hard for her to fall in love with someone else.”
"This is not what I am not afraid of most!" Rachel became very angry. "What do you think these rich guys think about? They just want to play with a new girl. They don't care if they ruin the girl’s life or not?"
"It’s too late to say that now." Harry looked at Ronald. "You have listed all classmates and friends in the city, as long as you can get her on a blind date. Give me the list."
"Dad, Mom, you aren’t really going to let Hazel go on a blind date?" Ronald frowned. "It doesn't work. The people I know are good, but they can't be compared to Joshua."
"It doesn't matter. We want to let Joshua know that Hazel didn't care much for him.” He said, "That kind of rich guy won’t accept this and will break up with her."
Ronald understood what his parents were thinking. Just as they deliberately had a bad attitude toward Joshua, they just want to arouse the arrogance of Joshua. As long as he broke up with Hazel, it would all be over.
However, Ronald thought that Joshua was not such a person, and he will not give up Hazel that easily.
"That is if Joshua doesn't mind?" He sighed.
Harry and Rachel looked at each other, and they have never thought about
this possibility.
"Then think of another way. It is best to let him think that we are greedy for his money. Can he bear that?" He said, "Okay, go to make a list!"
Ronald was helpless. His parents were stubborn, but if they continued to do things their way, he was worried Hazel would be sad.

The next day, Harry and Rachel went out early, and Ronald took the reluctant Hazel to the cafe.
“Why drink coffee in the morning?” Hazel said unhappily. “I want to eat a waffle and a croissant…”
"You are not here to drink coffee." Ronald said, "You have to meet six men this morning, eight this afternoon. You will meet each one for half an hour. I have arranged for you, and you should look nice."
Hazel looked at him with surprise. "No, are you doing it for real? Fourteen men, you are trying to kill me?"
"This is our mother's arrangement, and I have no way to stop it." Ronald was powerless, "She said that when you have seen enough men, even if you really don't like them, you may be able to reject them and then feel nothing for Joshua."
"What is this?" Hazel wanted to cry.
What were Hazel’s parents thinking about? She thought about secretly installing a bug in their room and listen to what they were talking about.
"You just pretended that you are selecting a handsome boy," Ronald comforted her. "Don’t worry, I will be just outside the room. If there is something wrong, you can call me directly, okay? I will go out and wait. I guess the first person is coming. ."
Seeing that Ronald walked out of the room, Hazel quickly took out her mobile phone and sent a few crying emojis to Joshua.
"What's wrong? Hazel, don't be afraid." It seemed that she was not able to talk, Joshua sent a message back.
Seeing his reply, Hazel couldn't help but feel her eyes swell up with tears. She felt so victimized.
"Joshua, my parents are trying to select a boyfriend..."
"Oh?"
"No, it's a blind date. There are fourteen men for me to meet in one day. I feel like I will be tortured to death by them."
Joshua looked at her reply, and he was speechless.
The Crowe family’s rejection of him was severe. They would rather arrange a blind date for Hazel than accept him, it seemed that it was not going to be easy to win them over.
"Where are you? I am going to come to find you." He replied quickly.
Hazel told him the address, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can you bring me a bug?"
"What do you want to do with the bug?"
"I don't want to guess what my parents want. I want to listen directly."
"... Hazel, this is not good."
"I know, but I really can't do it now!"
"Don't worry, I will bring it to you. Have you had breakfast yet?"
"No. I’ll get it later. Come soon, I am waiting for you.”
Hazel smiled, when she thought of seeing Joshua, she felt happy.
Suddenly, the door opened, Hazel quickly hid the phone under the table.
A large man walked in, and he sat down opposite Hazel.
"Are you Ronald’s sister?" he asked.
Hazel smiled and nodded.
They spoke a few words when there was a knock on the door. A waiter pushed a cart in and put a plate in front of Hazel, there were waffles and fruit for her breakfast.
The waiter said politely, "Miss, this is your breakfast, please enjoy it slowly."
"I didn't order breakfast?" Hazel asked in shock.
