"This..." On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xinyue's hand holding the phone trembled violently.
When it comes to meeting the parents, she becomes nervous.
The huge gap between the rich and the poor between the two families is a fatal flaw. It not only means an insurmountable gap in living conditions, but the more terrifying thing is the gap in knowledge and thinking. How many beauties have been separated because of their incompatibility. She doesn't want to lose An Jingxuan at all.
But what An Jingxuan said made sense. They were about to talk about marriage, and if she wanted to marry into the Qu family, she had to let An Jingxuan meet her family.
"Hmm?" An Jingxuan noticed that there was no movement on the other end of the phone for a long time, so he asked, "Is there anything inconvenient?"
"No, no!" Jiang Xinyue smiled awkwardly and answered very quickly.
How could she dare to say it was inconvenient? How could she dare to reveal that she disliked those rural people from her mother's family?
If people knew her inner thoughts, she would inevitably be disliked. No matter how much An Jingxuan liked her, he would definitely be dissatisfied. Even if they didn't break up, it would inevitably leave a thorn in their hearts and annoy them.
It seems that I have to take some time to go home before An Jingxuan leaves, and give my family a good scolding in person so that they won't embarrass themselves when the time comes.
Jiang Xinyue had always been very good at pretending in front of An Jingxuan, hiding her vanity so well that An Jingxuan didn't suspect anything. In his eyes, it was just a meeting with the parents, so what could there be in the way of complicated thoughts?
So he quickly decided on a date: "This weekend, then."
He felt light-hearted and stress-free, but Jiang Xinyue felt a lump in her throat when she heard it.
"So... urgent?" She bit the corner of her lip anxiously.
"Is it urgent? Today is only Monday." An Jingxuan's tone was already tinged with doubt.
There are still several days left, it won’t be too late to prepare, and there is nothing to prepare anyway.
"Okay then, I'll tell my family later."
Jiang Xinyue had nothing to refute. Seeing that he was determined to go on the weekend, she had to agree reluctantly. She was planning to take a leave from school and go home in the next two days.
Having been in the CEO's position for so long, An Jingxuan was a shrewd person, so how could he not hear the reluctance in Jiang Xinyue's tone? But An Jingxuan had a good impression of her, so it was natural for him to think the best of her.
After much thought, the only reason was that the family gap was so big that she felt a little inferior. But this was a family issue, not her problem.
An Jingxuan put down his phone, a helpless smile on his gentle face.
At worst, I can just be more respectful to her family when I go there and turn a blind eye to anything inappropriate.
Having planned the weekend itinerary in advance, An Jingxuan's only worry now is the problem between his sister and Tang Xu. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to concentrate on his work and go to see Qu Lingyuan at noon.
He looked up at the clock every few minutes and finally made it to noon in a restless mood. An Jingxuan threw away the work in his hands, picked up his suit jacket, and walked towards Qu Lingyuan's office with his long legs.
There were still a few minutes before the end of the working day. The secretary just walked to the door of the president's office and was about to knock on the door to go in, but was startled by the door suddenly opening from the inside. She saw her own president walking away in a hurry with a coat draped over one shoulder, without even leaving a word.
"It's rare to see Brother An leave early," Secretary Sun muttered to himself as he stared at his back, stroking his chin with one hand, as if thinking about something. "He's so handsome, he has a bit of Yang Guo in him."
Another employee who was on good terms with Secretary Sun patted him from behind, his disdain evident: "I just realized you're gay."
Secretary Sun was furious and immediately retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm too straight."
"Come on, hurry up. We're waiting for you to finish your report so we can go have lunch together."
"What's there to report? The president has already left early. Let's go eat."
After chatting, the two of them walked towards the company cafeteria arm in arm.
...
On the other side, An Jingxuan successfully caught Qu Lingyuan who was about to go home for lunch. He leaned against the door of her office before he had time to put on the other sleeve of his coat.
Qu Lingyuan found it funny. How could she not know why An Jingxuan came to see her in such a hurry?
But she still raised her delicate eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Will An Jingxuan tell the truth? Of course not.
But he had been restless all morning and had come in a hurry, so he had no time to make up an excuse. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Qu Lingyuan didn't want to dig into the issue. She picked up the phone on the table and walked out the door, giving him a way out: "Let's go, let's eat."
An Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, his heart sinking back into his stomach. He stepped aside to allow Qu Lingyuan to exit the office, then turned and closed the door before following.
He was afraid that Tang Xu would come to his house during the lunch break, but at this critical moment, he didn't dare to mention the name Tang Xu.
