"As for the business, we can move back to the domestic market later. My parents will be in charge of developing the overseas market, and I will be in charge of developing the domestic market. When my parents get old, we can find someone else to manage the overseas market. I can just go and visit occasionally. It won't be a problem."
Xie Chuan explained clearly and logically, saying that although he hadn't considered this issue before, he spoke eloquently and logically.
Seeing how sincere he was, Yu Jiu reluctantly believed him. However, she thought that she really needed to talk to his parents about this issue later. It wasn't enough for him to have this idea; his parents also needed to have this idea.
Otherwise, if things get heated later, it's uncertain whether the son can stand up to his parents, and An'an, caught in the middle, will definitely get hurt.
After Xie Chuan left, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang clearly told An An about this matter.
"Our agreement to your relationship with Xie Chuan is based on the premise that you like him, and that he's a decent guy, a local from the capital, and close to us. But once he decides to move overseas, An'an, we will absolutely not approve of your marriage. At that point, you'll have to choose between your parents, your brother, and him."
"But deep down we definitely hope you choose us. We don't want you to go with him no matter what."
Yu Jiu said seriously, and Xu Zijiang and Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.
"That's right! We can be together, but we have to stay in the capital! Otherwise, how will we face you in the future! Only once every few years!"
Xu Zijiang and Yuanyuan have both relented. They'll agree to let them be together as long as they can stay in the capital. Otherwise, it's out of the question. Unlike before, when they absolutely refused to agree, it seems there's always a comparison to be made.
"I... Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not go to live abroad!"
An'an had mixed feelings. She hadn't thought about these things before, but no matter what, she didn't want to leave her parents and younger brother. If Xie Chuan really had to stay abroad for a long time like her parents, she might choose to separate from him.
Despite feeling helpless and heartbroken, she would never abandon her parents, as her original plan was to stay in the capital.
Xie Chuan had no idea that An An had already considered breaking up. After returning home, he immediately called his parents, but it took them several hours to call back.
"Why are you calling us so late at night? Have you forgotten about the time difference?"
Xie Chuan's mother yawned as she called her son back; she would get angry if it wasn't urgent.
"Are you awake now, Mom? Have you considered going back to China to develop your career?"
Xie Chuan cut straight to the point, leaving his mother completely bewildered.
“When did you become so concerned about us and the family business? We're doing so well abroad, why would we want to come back to China? There needs to be an opportunity to come back, but not now.”
Xie Chuan's mother directly refused and even sent a teasing message to her son.
"What's wrong? You're dating now, and suddenly you're clinging to your mother? That shouldn't be the case, son."
After all, they went abroad when Xie Chuan was eight years old. Most of the time, Xie Chuan was alone in China. However, in the first few years, his grandparents accompanied him, but later only his maternal grandparents were left. The elderly people were getting old and there was nothing they could do.
"Who wants to cling to you! It's An'an's parents who are worried that I'll go abroad and don't feel comfortable leaving An'an with me, which is why I'm asking you all this. I feel that if we don't handle this well, we'll be forced to separate for the second time! Mom, let me tell you first, I will absolutely not go abroad!"
"It's not just for An'an; if I wanted to go, I would have gone long ago."
Xie Chuan emphasized, his long legs stretched out, his handsome face cold, he really looked like an adult.
Xie Chuan's mother sighed.
“I know you don’t want to come, and I didn’t plan to let you come anyway. Let An’an’s parents rest assured. The business will be developed overseas for the time being, and we will return to China when the time is right. Even if we stay overseas, we won’t let you come. I know you can’t get used to foreign food, and I’m tired of it too. We will go back when we have the chance.”
She made a promise to Xie Chuan, and then talked on and on. Xie Chuan's father also came over, and the family talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Neither of them are particularly family-oriented, otherwise they wouldn't have left Xie Chuan in China for so many years. Of course, they won't interfere with Xie Chuan's life afterward; as long as he's happy, that's all that matters.
They are considered relatively open-minded, although they are not as responsible as traditional Chinese parents.
After receiving a clear answer from his parents, Xie Chuan personally visited Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang to explain the situation, which reassured them somewhat.
An An breathed a sigh of relief, finally she didn't have to break up. Then she wiped the sweat from her brow, wondering why it was so difficult for her to have a relationship!
"However, even if you can stay in the country, it doesn't necessarily mean I'll agree to your marriage. You still have to meet the conditions I set, or you can forget about marrying my daughter for the rest of your life!"
Xu Zi then changed the subject and made many more demands.
First and foremost, he has to buy a house, and he can't use his parents' money. He has to buy a house in the capital, near their home, with a floor area of no less than 300 square meters, on his own. Then Xie Chuan has to learn to cook 58 dishes!
Originally, he wanted him to learn 108, but Yu Jiu said that was too many and too difficult for him. Xu Zijiang had no choice but to settle for second best and let him learn 58. Then, he would have to earn money on his own. Let's not talk about anything else, let's earn 100 million first!
How can he give his daughter a good life without 100 million?
····
"Dad, isn't one hundred million a bit of an exaggeration?"
An An held up two fingers, making a "little bit" gesture.
“What’s so exaggerated? You’re only eighteen. Give him ten years. If he can’t earn a hundred million, what kind of talent is he? Besides, he has his parents’ start-up capital. Back then, your mother and I started from scratch and built our current business into what we are now, worth hundreds of millions. I haven’t even asked him to earn more than your mother and me.”
Xu Zijiang was arrogant and disdainful.
·····
"Dad, you didn't actually start from scratch, did you? You did have some start-up capital, didn't you? That's not what you said when you told us about your and Mom's struggles back then!"
An'an boldly corrected him.
"Hey, that's different! We definitely didn't have much money back then, unlike him. His parents have a considerable business empire, they're standing on the shoulders of giants. If they still can't earn 100 million, then there's nothing more to say. You two can just date for the rest of your lives and live at home. Your parents will support you for the rest of your lives!"
Anyway, Xu Zijiang's requirements have been set, and whether or not they can be met depends on Xie Chuan.
Okay.
An'an could only worry for her boyfriend and would urge him to work harder to earn money in the future.
Seeing that An'an no longer spoke up for Xie Chuan, Xu Zijiang was very satisfied.
However, just when An'an's problem was solved, another troublesome person appeared! His love rival reappeared after many years!
