The next day, after Ding Ruzhi finished eating, she was about to head to work when Mrs. Ding stopped her.
"I've already called your uncle. You're not going anywhere today. You're coming with me on a blind date."
Ding Ruzhi glanced at her father, but he kept his eyes downcast, avoiding her gaze. She felt a surge of indignation but didn't dare protest.
Since she couldn't go to work, she simply went back to her room.
A short while later, Mrs. Ding came in.
She stared at Ding Ruzhi's outfit for a moment. "Change into that blue dress we bought last time. And let your hair down."
Ding Ruzhi sat motionless.
Unfazed, Mrs. Ding opened the closet herself, found the dress, and was about to change Ding Ruzhi into it herself.
Ding Ruzhi shot to her feet. "What are you doing? I like this outfit. Do I need your approval for everything I wear?"
