The story of the boss after retirement
Chapter 27 Do you think I'm a feudal patriarch?
When Li Wei graduated from graduate school, her parents and younger brother all flew to Taiwan to attend her graduation ceremony. The main reason was that her mother had retired and had a lot of time, and she also wanted to see her daughter graduate in person. Naturally, Li Wei fulfilled her wish.
Li Wei has not stopped writing in the past two years. Because of her sweet love with Gu Xiao, the romance novels she wrote are pretty good. And because she has no burden, she turned her academic frustration into motivation for writing and wrote several short horror novels.
The scariest thing in horror novels is not ghosts, but the human hearts mixed in them. The entanglement of human nature and interests is chilling. What people are afraid of is never ghosts, but their own hearts. The film and television rights of these horror novels have been sold in Taiwan, and the response has been good. Li Wei can be said to have achieved financial freedom.
Li Wei also studied with the screenwriter of the crew for a period of time. During that time, Gu Xiao was very cautious. After all, the male stars in the drama were all good-looking, and most of them were very motivated. An author like Li Wei with good output was naturally popular. What's more, Li Wei was beautiful, and no one would be disgusted by such an author.
In order to consolidate his corner, Gu Xiao would basically follow Li Wei to the crew whenever he was free. Otherwise, he would ask Wei Yu for help. At least he trusted Wei Yu. Therefore, everyone Li Wei knew in Taiwan also knew Wei Yu and Gu Xiao.
There are many speculations about these three inseparable people. Gu Xiao is Li Wei's boyfriend, there is no doubt about that. But as for Wei Yu, it is hard to tell what she is thinking. Is there really pure friendship between men and women?
As graduation was approaching, Li Wei was a little worried. She had no problem with her studies, as she had done very well. Professor Zheng even invited her to pursue a doctorate, and Li Wei agreed after considering it for a few days, because she had no idea of working and just wanted to explore the laws of the universe. Philosophy was such a tool. Her worries were related to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao has completed 80% of the scientific research projects on hand, and the rest is left to the students to finish. This year, Gu Xiao has only taught three students. If he didn't have a sense of responsibility, he would probably want to resign and join Taiwan University. In this way, he can be with Li Wei every day, not just on weekends.
Li Wei has always wanted to have a male mother to take care of her. Gu Xiao completely meets this standard. Not only does he take care of her meticulously, but he is also mature, stable, sunny and cheerful. He is simply a perfect boyfriend. However, Li Wei's family doesn't know about Gu Xiao's existence yet, and this is where Li Wei's troubles lie.
Should I introduce Gu Xiao to my parents? The last time Li Wei went back home for the Chinese New Year, her mother symbolically mentioned the blind date. However, Li Wei had not completed her studies yet, so she just kept repeating that if she got married, the man would live far away, and her mother would not be in good health and could not visit her often. No matter what delicious food was cooked at home, Li Wei would not be able to eat it.
Li Wei pretended not to hear, but Gu Xiao was with her all the time. He took a long vacation from Xingzhou University just to give Li Wei a perfect graduation ceremony. Of course, Li Wei knew that he wanted to meet her parents. Li Wei had already met Gu Xiao's parents in Xingzhou.
Gu Xiao's father looked very gentle, and his eyes were also blue, but darker than Gu Xiao's. The look in his eyes when he looked at Eliza was broad and deep. It could be seen that Gu Xiao's family tradition was very good, that is, their family was generous. Li Wei received many gifts again.
Li Wei's parents are coming to watch Li Wei's graduation ceremony. Gu Xiao started preparing when he knew the news. He wanted to make a good impression on his parents. This was his first time meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he must be fully prepared.
Seeing Gu Xiao so excited, Li Wei couldn't come up with a reason for the two parties not to meet. She had already met Gu Xiao's family, and it would not be justified if she didn't let Gu Xiao meet her parents. But Li Wei thought that her mother might nag her.
In order to make a good impression on Mr. and Mrs. Li, Gu Xiao asked Li Wei to choose clothes for the meeting a few days in advance. He was afraid of leaving a bad impression on his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Li Wei could not have imagined that one day she would feel dizzy just because of watching Gu Xiao change clothes. "Honey, your daily outfit will be fine. No need to change into multiple sets of clothes. Be casual. My parents are here to play. You'd be too formal and it might scare them." Li Wei held her forehead with her hand. Why did she feel that her boyfriend was becoming more and more unstable?
"But I just want to leave a good impression on mom and dad. Suits are too formal. I'd rather wear something casual and sunny. But won't that make people feel unstable?" Gu Xiao gestured at his clothes in the full-length mirror in the cloakroom. If Li Wei hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to call his father to ask for advice on how he dressed when he went to meet his grandfather. Finally, Li Wei chose a set of clothes for Gu Xiao.
"My parents will definitely like this one. Don't choose anymore. Otherwise, you won't have to accompany me to pick them up at the airport." Li Wei made the final decision, and Gu Xiao obeyed obediently.
"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Gu Xiao, and I'm Weiwei's boyfriend." Gu Xiao acted childish in front of Li Wei, but outside of her he was the steady Professor Gu. When they first met, he was very polite and only called them uncle and aunt, and did not directly call them mom and dad. Gu Xiao knew that Chinese people attach great importance to etiquette and titles, and he had learned these from his Chinese friends.
When Mama Li saw her daughter waiting with a handsome guy, she and Baba Li exchanged glances in tacit understanding. Unexpectedly, the young man introduced himself right away. This time, Mama Li and Baba Li's trip to Taiwan was a bit of a "surprise".
When Li Wei's younger brother Li Lin saw Gu Xiao's height and appearance, he secretly gave Li Wei a thumbs up. "Sister, you are awesome. You have loved chasing stars since you were a child. This person is as pretty as a star, and has much more temperament than a star. Alas, I don't know where my goddess is. Forget it. The goddess is better in the game. As long as you spend money, it's fine. But in real life, you still have to care about each other. Forget it."
Li's father, mother and Li Lin will stay in Taiwan for a week. Li Wei's graduation ceremony is on Wednesday. Today is Monday. Li Wei will accompany her family to visit the school on Tuesday and attend the graduation ceremony on Wednesday. In the next few days, Gu Xiao and Li Wei will accompany her family to travel.
It was the first time for both Mr. and Mrs. Li to come to Taiwan. Everything here was unfamiliar and new to them. Gu Xiao made careful arrangements along the way. He also prepared greeting gifts for everyone. For Mrs. Li, it was a piece of jewelry, for Mr. Li, it was a bottle of wine, and for Li Lin, it was a figurine. Li Lin, the otaku, was immediately won over and started calling him brother-in-law in private. Of course, he still called him Brother Gu in front of his parents.
"Xiao Gu, how did you get to know our Weiwei?"
"Auntie, we met at school. I am a professor at Sin Chew University of Technology..."
"So how many people are there in your family?"
Just like that, Li Ma began to frantically find out everything about Gu Xiao, while Gu Xiao told her everything he knew, trying to leave a good impression. When Li Ma knew that Gu Xiao was German, she frowned slightly, and then when she heard him say that his grandmother was Chinese and his mother was also of Chinese descent, Li Ma's brows relaxed again.
After dinner in the evening, Li Wei stayed in the hotel with Li's mother. The mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk. As for Li's father, he slept with Li Lin. Anyway, they booked a luxury suite, which was enough.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were in love?" Li's mother's words were indeed reproachful. She had always wanted her daughter to be closer to her, but now she is very far away. Every time she comes to Taiwan, her son has to accompany her. If her daughter marries in Germany, isn't that even farther away than the end of the world?
"Didn't I tell you now? We're just in a relationship, not getting married. I'm 27 years old." Li Wei tried to speak in a nonchalant tone.
"You still know that you are 27 years old. When I was your age, I had already given birth to you." Li Wei wanted to interrupt, but felt it was unnecessary and continued to listen. These were all what Li's mother had said before, and she could recite them by heart.
"I'm not against you dating, but you have to tell us in advance. Your father and I didn't bring much cash or red envelopes this time, so we don't know how to return the gifts. The gifts from your boyfriend must be expensive, right?"
Li Wei's eyes widened when she heard what Li's mother said. This was something new. Did her mother accept it?
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I want to break up the couple?" Mother Li saw through Li Wei's little thoughts at a glance. As a mother, she can still understand her daughter's thoughts to some extent.
"You think too much. Xiao Gu is a good guy. He is a professor, has a good family background, and seems to be well-educated and well-mannered. I am quite satisfied with him. You always said that I like to daydream, but you are the same."
Mother Li finally got the chance to defeat Li Wei. She was not a feudal patriarch. This was a new society.
