Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date

Chapter 281: Guan's mother calls and asks Guan Juer to take Zhou Chen back to her hometown

Back on the 22nd floor, just when Andy was about to open the door and go home, Qu Xiaoxiao came out of the house. She was wearing light makeup and seemed to be going on a date.

"Andy, you guys are back. I really missed you during the New Year holiday. You don't know how boring I am without you guys."

When Qu Xiaoxiao saw Andy, she ran over and wanted a hug, but Andy just reached out to stop her.

"Looking at your rosy face, I know that something good is going to happen. Do you still think of me at this time?

I saw your circle of friends. You and Dr. Zhao finally made it official. Isn’t it enough to have Dr. Zhao by your side?

You look like you're going on a date, aren't you afraid that Dr. Zhao will wait too long? I don't want to delay your good thing."

Qu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, then said excitedly: "Andy, you saw my circle of friends, I have reconciled with Doctor Zhao.

Hehe, as soon as I got off the plane today, I went to the hospital to get Dr. Zhao. I used to be afraid that my friends would cause trouble for Dr. Zhao, but now it seems that is completely unnecessary.

Zhou Chen, I have to thank you. The advice you gave me years ago was really useful. Dr. Zhao immediately fell for it."

Zhou Chen just nodded without answering. Qu Xiaoxiao was very happy now, but she would cry someday in the future, because her lapdog Yao Bin was not someone to be trifled with.

Maybe Yao Bin saw your circle of friends and was furious after knowing that you officially announced your boyfriend. Maybe he is trying to find a way to investigate your boyfriend's identity?

Qu Xiaoxiao left after a few polite words. It was obvious that she didn't want to keep Dr. Zhao waiting too long.

Andy and Zhou Chen looked at each other and went home. Qu Xiaoxiao and Dr. Zhao reconciled, which also meant that she no longer had to torture others under the pretext of a broken heart.

On the other side, Guan Juer, who was working overtime, received a call from her mother, but the content of the conversation made her frown. She could only say that her mother was acting on her own again.

"Guan Guan, have you and Zhou Chen arrived home?"

"Mom, I'm still working overtime. What can I do for you?"

Guan Guan didn't know why her mother called, and she even mentioned Zhou Chen specifically. Are you calling me or Zhou Chen?

Hearing that Guan Juer was still working overtime, Guan's mother immediately complained distressedly: "What's going on in your company? How can you work overtime right after starting work?

Mom has told you a long time ago that it’s better not to work in such a company. The most important thing for a girl is to find someone to marry. Isn’t Zhou Chen said to be a rich second-generation?

If all else fails, ask Zhou Chen to find you a good job. Working overtime every day is so tiring and it's bad for your health. Ask him to find you a job that's easy and allows you to take care of your family. Girls, after all, will eventually return to their families."

Guan's mother does not object to Guan Juer working, but she still has an old-fashioned side in her heart. She believes that girls can work, but ultimately the family should be the priority.

Just like Zhou Chen's rich second-generation family, no matter how capable Guan Juer is, they will not let you inherit the family business. Having children and taking care of the family is what you should do.

If you can raise your children to be talented and carry on the family line, that is what wealthy families care about.

"Mom, the company recently received a big order, and the leader wants to train my abilities, so he has assigned me some important work. It's normal for me to work overtime.

You also know that I want to make a career for myself. I don’t want to be a vase, and I don’t want to trouble Zhou Chen because of work. Wouldn’t that make Zhou Chen look down on me?

If you have anything to say, please tell me now. I'm busy right now. Otherwise, I'll call you after get off work."

Mother Guan was speechless for a moment. Can your little head of yours have some romantic thoughts? How could Zhou Chen look down on you by asking him for help?

"Silly girl, women shouldn't be too strong. How could Zhou Chen look down on you if you ask him for help? Instead, he will think you are relying on him, and that's how he will like you more.

Why do men like weak women? Because they can arouse his desire to protect.

This is just like how women must learn to act coquettishly. Sometimes women who know how to act coquettishly are indeed very lucky. You must learn these things well, and don’t let them make you stupid.

Guan Ju was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This was not what you taught me before. You said that girls should be independent so that they can be more confident and charming when facing men.

Now you tell me that I must learn to be weak and act like a spoiled child. Which one should I listen to?

"Yes, yes, you are right. I will listen to your teachings after get off work. If nothing else, I will hang up first."

Guan Juer, who was working, didn't want to listen to her mother's nonsense. When she was about to hang up, her mother stopped her.

"You are such a sarcastic girl, can't your mother nag you a few times?

Okay, let me tell you something serious. This Sunday is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Your dad and I want you and Zhou Chen to go back to your hometown.

During the Chinese New Year, grandparents want to meet their grandson-in-law. Bring Zhou Chen to have a meal with the elders at home so they can meet him. We can’t let them gossip about us.”

Haha, it was clearly Guan Juer’s mother who proposed this during the Chinese New Year, but now she is putting the blame on her grandparents. This is using the elders to pressure Guan Juer.

Guan Juer, who originally wanted to work, suddenly became anxious when she heard this. She was actually asked to take Zhou Chen back to her hometown. Isn't this a bit too sudden?

Guan Juer is still unclear about Zhou Chen’s attitude towards meeting his parents. How can you help us make a decision?

Asking us to go back in the name of our grandparents, isn’t this moral kidnapping?

"Mom, how could you make a decision without discussing it with us? If something happens this week, won't you disrupt our plans?

You don't know how busy Zhou Chen is at work. I'll discuss this matter with him and give you an answer later."

It was obvious that Guan Juer wanted to delay and ask Zhou Chen's opinion, but Guan's mother was also a smart person. She shut Guan Juer up with just one sentence.

"If you feel embarrassed to say it, I will call Zhou Chen myself. Is there anything more important than meeting the parents?"

Mother Guan understood her daughter's character. She was too weak and must be embarrassed to say it. Otherwise, she should let herself make the call. That way, Zhou Chen would definitely not find a reason to refuse.

Guan Juer of course disagreed, so she quickly said, "Mom, I will talk to Zhou Chen about this matter. I will let you know when we have discussed it.

After all, there is still a week left, and we can't guarantee that there won't be any problems in the meantime. If there is a conflict in time, we can adjust it."

Haha, since her daughter had agreed to go home, Guan's mother did not object. She gave her a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

Guan Juer certainly understood that since her mother had already spoken, it seemed that she had no choice but to go home. As for when to go home, they could discuss it.

If I talked to Zhou Chen, it would be called a discussion, but if my mother called him, it would be a notification. I believe Zhou Chen would feel uncomfortable after hearing that.

After that, Guan Juer became a little distracted from her work. She was thinking about how to tell Zhou Chen the news. Would he disagree?
