Chapter 482: The Responsibility a Man Should Have

Lin Chuxia looked at the chattering woman and finally understood something.

Looking at Qin Jianjun again, he stood with his back straight. Facing the woman's accusations, he showed no shame at all, nor did he refute in anger.

He saw Lin Chuxia coming and smiled, "Aunt Four, these are Lele's parents. Can we go to your office to talk?"

When Gao Lele's mother heard Qin Jianjun's name, she looked at Lin Chuxia with an appraising gaze. Her eyes changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her cold and arrogant look.

"I was wondering how a poor boy from out of town could be so bold. Turns out he has someone backing him up."

Lin Chuxia was not angry either. "I can't say I have support. After all, we are from the countryside and don't have any roots. Even if we have some money, we are just self-employed individuals. You city people can't compare to us."

When the woman heard this, she immediately gave her a look that showed her that she knew what was going on.

Lin Chuxia pointed upwards and said, "Alright, this is not the place to talk. It won't have a good influence. Since they are Gao Lele's parents, let's go upstairs and talk."

Gao Lele's mother was also afraid that it would affect her daughter's reputation, but the attitudes of the two people in front of her made her less angry.

After arriving at the office, his tone softened a little.

"You are his fourth aunt, right? You look young, but since there are elders involved in this matter, I think it's better to talk to you about it."

Lin Chuxia made a gesture of invitation and asked her to speak slowly.

Gao Lele's mother glanced at Qin Jianjun and continued, "I came here today for one purpose. Our Lele will never marry a rural person. Originally, we as parents didn't want to get involved in this matter, but these two children are too unreasonable. Lele actually rejected the person I told her about for him. I carefully selected her for her. She is a local of Yan City and works in a government agency. She is young and handsome, and she is a good match for our family. I know that young people can make mistakes sometimes. I don't want Lele to regret it in the future. I only have this one daughter, and I will never let her marry an outsider."

She looked at Qin Jianjun again, "If you want to do this for Lele's sake, stay away from her and stop pestering her. She's not someone you can dream of. If you continue to fool her around, you won't be able to get past us, and you'll never be able to do it."

Lin Chuxia chuckled, immediately attracting the woman's attention, "What are you laughing at? If you ask me, you are also responsible for this matter. As his elder, shouldn't you feel ashamed when something like this happens? I know that in the eyes of your man's parents, they want to marry a city girl to bring honor to the family. They say that you can't do such a wicked thing and cheat someone else's daughter for your whole life just for your own face."

Lin Chuxia nodded. "I understand what this lady said, but before you came here, did you ask why Qin Jianjun came to work in the mall instead of continuing to work in the bun shop?"

"Isn't this a job transfer for you? I heard that the owner of this mall and the steamed bun shop is the same person. I also know that my Lele has been clamoring to come to the mall to work these days, just for this poor boy."

"It's true that it was a job transfer, but it was also to reduce the number of times Gao Lele and Qin Jianjun saw each other."

The woman was even more confused, "What do you mean?"

"It's just what it says. Qin Jianjun is still in school. Neither he nor his family wants him to get married so early, so I transferred him to the mall. I thought that if we don't see each other, Lele will lose interest in him after a while."

"You mean our Lele is chasing him?" The woman's face flushed. "Impossible, this guy must have used some tricks to deceive our Lele."

She couldn't accept that her daughter liked a poor boy, but this poor boy didn't like her daughter.

Lin Chuxia wanted to say something, but Qin Jianjun spoke first, "I have never deceived Gao Lele, and I can promise you that I will not have any contact with Gao Lele in the future. Gao Lele is a good girl, and it is worth it for you as parents to find a more suitable partner for her. The other person is definitely not me, please rest assured."

After receiving Qin Jianjun's solemn assurance, the woman was still a little stunned.

At the same time, he stood up and said, "In this case, remember what you said today."

Then he said to Lin Chuxia, "Sorry to bother you."

After the two people left, Lin Chuxia gave Qin Jianjun a thumbs up.

Qin Jianjun was innocent in the whole thing, but Gao Lele's parents came to the mall and made a scene without asking any questions. In front of so many people, Qin Jianjun not only did not argue, but also took them to the office to talk. He was protecting Gao Lele's face.

He could have clearly clarified just now that it was all Gao Lele's wishful thinking from the beginning to the end, and even the employees of the bun shop could testify for him that he had never deceived Gao Lele.

But he didn't do that. He just promised Gao Lele's parents that he would draw a clear line between himself and Gao Lele.

Whether in front of others, colleagues, or Gao Lele's parents, he tried his best to protect Gao Lele's face.

This is the responsibility a man should have.

Qin Jianjun didn't expect that his little thoughts were seen through by his fourth aunt. He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Although I don't like Gao Lele, I can't let her feel that my passion has been wasted. Just think of it as a reward for her love."

"Good boy, you have a promising future."

He did not feel inferior because he was from the countryside, nor was he afraid of Gao Lele's parents. He treated both of them with neither arrogance nor servility, just to repay a girl's sincere love.

Although I cannot return the love in return, I will not let the other person lose face in front of others because of my love for him/her.

………………

When they returned home at noon, Lin Chuxia and Zhang Guilan talked about Qin Jianjun.

After they came back from delivering the goods, they took Zhang Guilan back to the family compound.

Although Lin Chuxia has been very busy these days, no matter how busy she is, she is still better than Qin Juan who leaves home early and comes back late.

Lin Chuxia will come back at noon when she has time, and Qin Yang will also come back to have lunch together.

Zhang Guilan was also pleased after hearing this, "The men in our Qin family all look carefree and kind-hearted."

"My eldest brother and his wife are upright people, and the children follow their example. Parents are the best teachers for their children."

There is nothing to say about the characters of Qin Liang and Qian Chuncao.

Qin Wen had tried to sow discord between them before, but he had failed.

As for the matter with Qin Lihua, Qian Chuncao still feels sorry for Lin Chuxia whenever she mentions it.

Speaking of Qin Lihua, Zhang Guilan also sighed, "I don't know how that child grew up. I heard that he and Cai Jun also started a small business at home, and their life was manageable. A while ago, a girl was born, just around the same time as Sun Lanlan. My sister-in-law was busy with greenhouse work at the time, and didn't have time to take care of her during the confinement period."

"You have to live your own life and walk your own path," Lin Chuxia said, "Let's not talk about her. Doesn't sister-in-law want to go shopping? I'll take you there this afternoon and see if there's any clothes you like. I'll give them to you."
