Looking at his attitude, Mr. Jiang could sense his calm and composed nature, and he became increasingly satisfied with him.
"I'm glad you understand, but I also need to ask you something. According to my investigation, I can only find information about your university years, so I want to ask about your situation before university."
There are two situations in which you can't find out about his past. The first is that he comes from a very remote place. But if he went to high school and college, then some people would know about him, but you can't find out anything about him, which is very strange.
Another point is that his past is very difficult to trace, which is also something that Mr. Jiang is quite suspicious about.
Rong Li had no intention of hiding it, so she immediately replied, "I lived abroad before university. I went abroad with my parents when I was less than four years old, and I only came back before I took the exams at university."
He entered university by passing the exam, but because he had been living abroad, his information could not be found in China.
"You lived abroad before university?" Mr. Jiang was a little surprised. He went abroad when he was four years old, but his Mandarin was so standard, and he spoke the G City dialect without any problems. No one would doubt that he was not from G City.
Rong Li nodded again: "Although we live abroad, we have not given up our nationality, and our family members have always spoken G City dialect and Mandarin, so there is no problem with communication in this regard."
Of course, since he lived abroad, he naturally speaks the local language very well, but he has been speaking Mandarin since he was a child, so it doesn't seem different to others.
They did not apply for foreign citizenship in order to retain their own. Although their parents initially faced some obstacles in their business because of this issue, it was not a major problem for them. Because of their shared interests, and since their parents were the only ones who did not obtain foreign citizenship, they still tried their best to help them.
Since he still held Chinese citizenship, it wasn't too difficult for him to return and take the exam. With his abilities, he naturally got into the school he wanted.
…
Rong Li had already prepared a self-introduction, and since Mr. Jiang had also brought up this issue, he directly sent his information to Mr. Jiang.
When Mr. Jiang learned that Rong Li was the heir to a well-known international brand, he was somewhat surprised: "Your family is so well-off, why do you do part-time work? Why do you work for someone else's company?"
"The main reason is that I want to stay here and also want to find something else to do. I'm not that interested in our family's main business."
Although Mr. Jiang couldn't quite understand his thought process, he could only respect the choices he made, even if he didn't understand them.
However, outstanding people excel at whatever they do, and Mr. Jiang acknowledges the other person's abilities. Moreover, despite having such excellent qualities, he is still willing to endure hardship, which makes him a good person as well.
Of course, whether the other party is as described in his information is something Mr. Jiang still needs to investigate further. Now that he has a direction, it is not a problem to investigate further.
Mr. Jiang then asked, "Do your family members know about your relationship with Ge'er?"
Rong Li nodded: "I told my family that my parents are also planning to come back for a visit."
Mr. Jiang nodded in agreement upon hearing what he said: "Okay, in that case, let's have another meal together after your parents come back."
…
While Wan Ge was still chatting with Madam Jiang, two men walked in from outside. Mr. Jiang skillfully took the vegetables that Madam Jiang had been washing, placed them on the cutting board, and picked up a knife to chop them deftly. Rong Li also helped Wan Ge prepare the vegetables, doing so with the same practiced ease, as if he had done this many times before.
"You finished chatting so quickly?" Mrs. Jiang asked, handing the washed vegetables to her husband as she washed them.
Mr. Jiang hummed in agreement: "It was nothing, we just chatted casually."
Madam Jiang whispered again, "If you scare my son-in-law away, I'll never forgive you."
"No." Besides, someone who's so easily scared away doesn't deserve to be his son-in-law.
They could hear their hushed conversation, and Rong Li must have heard it too, so they exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
…
The lunch was also a very enjoyable experience. Although Mr. Jiang would investigate the veracity of Rong Li's words, he was still willing to believe the young man until the investigation results came out, because he could tell that Rong Li really liked Wan Ge.
He wears glasses, so his appearance is a bit average, but otherwise he's fine. But being average-looking isn't a big deal; what's the use of being too good-looking?
Just like Xiao He, who's so handsome but still doesn't treat his daughter well...
It's better if he looks ordinary, so he won't attract unwanted attention, and his daughter won't have to worry so much about that.
…
After lunch, during the afternoon nap, Wan Ge sat down next to Rong Li and finally asked him, "What's wrong? Did my dad put pressure on you?"
Although Rong Li didn't show it much, Wan Ge still sensed that something was off about his emotions.
Rong Li shook her head: "No, Uncle just asked about my past and some things about my family."
This is a normal process for meeting the parents. It's natural to need to know about the other party's family background and circumstances, and there's nothing to hide about it.
Wan Ge suddenly realized that she didn't know much about his past. Apart from knowing that Rong Li had been working under Xiao He for the past few years, she had no information about his past. The system had not provided any information.
"I just remembered something." Rong Li lowered his head slightly. He was actually hiding something from Mr. Jiang.
He genuinely wanted to stay in the city, and he genuinely wanted to have something to do, but he didn't give a real reason.
Because the years I lived in this city were among the few extremely happy days of my life.
Because of my age, some of the memories are a bit blurry, but those were the happiest days in my memory, so I still have an impression of them and long for them immensely.
After he went abroad, his parents still treated him very well, but because of his grandmother's illness, work, and the fact that he was in school, they spent less time with him. So, he had very few happy memories of going abroad, which made him want to go back to this place.
But when he returned, he found that the place he remembered had changed, and he was all alone.
That's why he works part-time during his spare time, trying to keep himself busy so he won't think about other things.
She also doesn't rule out Xiao He contacting her after get off work, which is why she feels lonely when she has more free time after get off work, and having something to do helps to alleviate that feeling.
