Pride tinged with smugness, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
The couple was shocked, then even more shocked. What? He actually passed the exam! And he even said it was all thanks to his girlfriend, meaning she was a top student.
Wait, they finally managed to dredge up this person from their memories. It seems like a year or two ago, the teacher called to say that Xie Chuan was in a relationship, and the girl was a good student. At the time, the teacher asked them to break up and also asked their parents to come back for a meeting.
However, the two were busy with business and didn't come back. Besides, they knew what kind of person their son was. They didn't even need their parents to break them up. With his short attention span, either the girl didn't like his carefree attitude and dumped him, or he felt that this good student was no longer interesting and broke up with her in a couple of days.
They would never have imagined that the two of them would still be together after all this time, and that the girl even tutored his son and got him into the university in the capital!
"Wow, you didn't threaten that girl, did you? How could something like this happen?"
The couple couldn't believe that such a windfall could fall into their laps.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're seriously dating, okay? An'an's parents did object to us before, thinking I wasn't good enough, but after these two years of hard work, I've successfully won over An'an's mother."
Although her father still doesn't really like me, I've now been admitted to the same university as An'an, and I no longer smoke, drink, or fight. An'an said her father won't object to us anymore.
Although they don't approve of us being together, they won't interfere. I think it's time to propose! Otherwise, what if An'an gets snatched away later!
Xie Chuan was very anxious. An An was so outstanding and beautiful, she was very popular, especially in college, where she would be surrounded by excellent students. He hadn't forgotten that An An had said she wanted to date the top student in her grade.
"Wow, you actually got her parents' approval! But isn't it too early to propose now? The girl is so outstanding, how could her parents possibly agree? It's already a great favor that you two are even dating."
Xie Chuan's mother was pragmatic. She felt that proposing marriage was not feasible. Even if she had such an outstanding daughter and found a boy like Xie Chuan to be her partner, she would not want to marry her daughter off so early. She would wait until she finished university before considering it.
"I know, but I don't want to get married right now. I just want to settle down first, to have a formal status. Otherwise, what if An'an's parents change their minds and don't want me anymore?"
Xie Chuan was somewhat excited. After all, he had been in a state of being without a formal relationship for the past two years of high school. He was like someone who couldn't see the light of day. He had had enough of this kind of life. He wanted to stand proudly in front of An An, and if any unwanted advances came his way, he could openly drive them away!
·····
So you knew too. It's your own fault for acting that way before, leaving a bad impression. Otherwise, things wouldn't be so difficult.
"Anyway, I don't care. You guys hurry up and get ready, pick a good day, and come with me to the Xu family to propose marriage!"
When Xie Chuan really gets stubborn, who can argue with him? Besides, he's become so outstanding now, his parents have even less reason not to listen to him.
Since he liked that girl so much, and she was so outstanding, then let's go ahead and propose marriage. We just hope that she won't be kicked out by her parents. So Xie Chuan's parents hurriedly prepared the betrothal gifts.
When Xie Chuan arrived with his parents, An An was stunned, Yu Jiu was stunned, and Xu Zi was furious.
"Who gave you permission to come and propose marriage? Did you get my consent? Did I give you permission? Now you're here!"
Xu Zijiang wanted nothing more than to grab a broom and sweep the entire family of three out of the house, but his last shred of self-control kept him in check. Yu Jiu quickly grabbed Xu Zijiang's arm, urging him not to act impulsively.
"Don't be angry, calm down. They are our guests, and they could very well be our future in-laws. Just bear with it, bear with it."
Yu Jiu saw that An'an and Xie Chuan had a pretty good relationship, and she felt that the two might actually get together and start a family in the future. Therefore, it was necessary to show respect to each other and their parents. Otherwise, if they made enemies, it wouldn't be good for An'an to marry into the family later.
Unable to contain himself any longer, Xu Zi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Take your things and leave immediately. I don't welcome you here. Our An'an is still young and we won't accept any marriage proposals. Please leave!"
The fact that Xu Zijiang didn't tell Xie Chuan to get out was already a testament to his extreme restraint. If Yu Jiu hadn't held him back, he would have given Xie Chuan a good beating.
"That's right, take your things and leave! You're not welcome in our house. Who said my sister was getting married? My sister doesn't want to marry you. Get out!"
Yuanyuan reacted strongly. Since he was young, it didn't matter if he spoke rudely. He pointed to the door and told them to get out.
This is really testing their family's patience. We can let you two date secretly, but you want to move in? Dream on! How old is his sister?
Is 18 okay?
Xie Chuan was scolded, but he remained calm and explained his purpose.
"It's just a marriage proposal, an engagement first. There's no rush to get married right now. We can wait until graduation."
"Yes, An'an's parents, you've misunderstood. We just saw that the two children are in love, right? Since the two children have a good relationship, let's let them get engaged first, so they can visit each other in the future."
Don't worry, An'an is a good child. We will definitely treat her like our own daughter, giving her all the good things in the world and never depriving her of even a little bit. Our son is the same; if he dares to treat An'an badly, we'll teach him a lesson without you even having to lift a finger!"
Xie Chuan's parents quickly put on a smiling face, hoping that Xu Zijiang wouldn't be too angry, but Xu Zijiang wouldn't listen and sternly told them to leave.
Yu Jiu frantically gave the group dirty looks, and An An quickly went to push them away.
Xie Chuan's parents had no choice but to come out first.
"Calm down first. Here, have some water to calm down. I'll go talk to them. Don't worry, I won't agree to the marriage proposal either. But it's a bit impolite to just let them leave like that. Can I go out for a bit?"
While patting Xu Zijiang's back to help him catch his breath, Yu Jiu suggested that they go out and talk to Xie Chuan's parents.
Xu Zijiang remained silent for a long time, while Yuanyuan added fuel to the fire.
"Mom, don't go out. Don't worry about them. Just let them leave. What makes him think he can marry my sister? Don't think he's so great just because he got into the Capital University. It's all thanks to my sister's tutoring. Did he pay her for tutoring?"
My sister studies so hard, and he even tutors her. It would be a miracle if we didn't pay an exorbitant tutoring fee. Since they've brought these things, I think we shouldn't take them; we can leave them for my sister as tutoring fees!
"Alright, alright, stop making things worse. Don't you think your dad is angry enough already?"
Yu Jiu instructed Yuan Yuan to keep an eye on Xu Zijiang, and then went out.
