"What kind of job?" Yang Hongxing asked.
Little Stone's lips curled into a wide smile. "By chance, I met a director."
He admired me, saying that my image and temperament were a perfect match for one of his movie characters, and that he wanted me to work for him.
Mom and Dad, who knows, you might see me on TV someday!
Zhou Mingjie was overjoyed, "My son has made something of himself, he can even become a big star!"
"You know, directors really have good taste. My son is top-notch in both looks and physique; he takes after me in that respect."
Yang Hongxing...
"How can you be so shameless? How can you attribute everything to yourself?"
"Aren't we talking about the children right now? Why are you rambling on?" She had been holding back for a long time, but instead of stopping him, he just joined in the chaos.
Moral character!
"Well, what I said is the truth. My son looks like me. When people praise his good looks, it's like they're indirectly praising me!" Zhou Mingjie muttered to himself.
He said that he was better looking than Gu Yanbai!
See, there are people who know their stuff.
His son really turned the tables on him.
Tomorrow, he absolutely has to go and nag Gu Yanbai about this.
This time he has a valid point, let's see how he refutes it now!
Yang Hongxing rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. How old is she? Why is she still so childish?
They've only gotten older, but they haven't grown any smarter.
Is it time to discuss whether a face is good-looking or not?
"You mean you agree?" Yang Hongxing felt even more heartbroken. How could he be so heartless? The two of them had never been on the same wavelength.
Zhou Mingjie nodded, "I agree!"
A man's ambition lies in all directions. He's not a child anymore. Why do you keep him tied to your side all the time?
When I was his age, I was already making a living from all over the place. I don't know how many places I've been with Yanbai.
"It's not a bad thing to go out and explore while you're young, why are you stopping him?"
What he didn't say was that even if they failed, it didn't matter, because he, as their father, would always be there to back them up.
Yang Hongxing paused, unable to refute these words.
Their family was able to move from the town to the provincial capital and live a life free from worries about food and clothing, all thanks to his hard work and struggle.
"Mom, just let me try. If it really doesn't work out, I'll come back. With you guys backing me up, I feel more at ease." Seeing that her expression was softening, Little Stone took the opportunity to plead.
"Stone, are you really sure?" Yang Hongxing was a little reluctant; this was her only child in her life.
She doesn't have any grand ambitions; she just hopes that her family can be together, reunited, and healthy.
"Do you really like that job?" Zhou Mingjie asked.
Little Stone nodded vigorously. "Yes, I really like this job, and I want to give it a try."
If all else fails, I still have you all. I'll come back.
“Go ahead, your father supports you!” Zhou Mingjie made the final decision.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Seeing Xiao Shitou's genuine joy, Yang Hongxing sighed after a long while, "Alright, you're all grown up now, you should make your own decisions!"
"Thank you too, Mom!"
The Gu family next door.
After finishing their meal, the two young people left, saying they hadn't been back for quite some time and wanted to go out for a stroll.
Now, only the three of them were left in the room.
Gu Yanliu asked, "Sister-in-law, are you not satisfied with Xiaxia's boyfriend?"
She noticed it earlier today; her sister-in-law appeared polite and gentle, and spoke very courteously.
But the smile didn't reach her eyes. After so many years of living together as sisters-in-law, how could she not know that she was dissatisfied with this young man?
"Are you satisfied now?" she asked, glancing at the brother and sister.
Gu Yanliu...
Well, how should I put it, she wasn't satisfied with that boy either.
But since the parents hadn't spoken yet, it was somewhat inappropriate for her, as the aunt, to speak first.
"Brother, what do you think?" she asked Gu Yanbai.
Gu Yanbai paused for a moment, then said, "But it seems our daughter really likes it."
"Do you even need to tell me? Anyone with eyes can see that. I don't know what's so great about that guy that he's got your daughter so infatuated!" Su Nianxue complained.
"How about this, we'll talk to her when she gets back."
...
"Mom and Dad, Aunt, why are you all staring at me like that? Are you going to interrogate me?" Xia Xia asked as soon as she entered the room, noticing that her whole family was staring at her.
She didn't take it to heart, sat down next to them, and teased them affectionately.
Su Nianxue's eyes were deep and thoughtful. "Your father has something to say to you."
Gu Yanbai...
He whispered, "It's not appropriate for me to say that! It's more appropriate for you, as the mother, to say it!"
Su Nianxue shoved him a few times and whispered, "Stop talking nonsense, you're the one who has to say it!"
Don't think I don't know how many good deeds you two have done behind my back over the years.
If you ask me, she's in this situation because you spoiled her.
She's closest to you, and she listens to what you say, so it's up to you to speak!
Gu Yanbai...
"Okay, Mom and Dad, stop beating around the bush, just say what you need to say! I'm listening!"
"Daughter, then I'll be frank!" Under the pressure of Su Nianxue's glare, Gu Yanbai finally spoke up.
"Hmm, you go ahead..." Xia Xia sat up straight, looking like she was listening attentively.
"Okay, your mom and I both think, and oh right, your aunt too, the three of us agree that you and that guy... are not a good match!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Nianxue and Gu Yanliu nodded in agreement.
