Urban drama: Starting from rejecting Fan Shengmei on a blind date
Chapter 288 The solution is to trick Guan's mother
The next morning, Zhou Chen woke up and saw Guan Juer lying on the bed looking at him. This scared Zhou Chen.
"Guan Guan, you don't look very energetic, why don't you get some more sleep?
And why am I sleeping in your room? If my uncle and aunt see me, they will definitely misunderstand me."
Guan Juer perked up immediately after seeing Zhou Chen wake up, and then she explained, "Zhou Chen, you finally woke up, I was so worried.
My mother already knew about our relationship. After I came back last night, she called me out and asked me about it. You know I'm not good at lying, so she guessed it.
I think we might be in trouble because my mom is asking us when we're going to get married. It seems like she's forcing us to get married. What should we do next?"
Guan Juer's words made Zhou Chen frown. Guan's mother actually wanted to force him to get married, which gave him a headache.
You have to know that according to Zhou Chen's previous views on love, he was not planning to get married, and there were some things he could not tell his future mother-in-law. If she knew his views on love, she probably would never let Guan Guan be with him.
"Guan Guan, don't worry. We'll slowly figure out a solution for this matter. I'll take care of everything."
Guan Juer nodded, and then told her the solution she had been thinking about all night.
"Zhou Chen, I spent the entire night searching for answers to this question on my phone, and the most I could come up with was to calmly discuss it with the parents and express my own opinion.
Another thing is to emphasize the importance of career and divert the topic from parents. I think this can be used to fool my mother?
Otherwise, you can cooperate with me when the time comes and tell me that we don’t want to get married right now, and the main reason is that I want to focus on my career.
After all, I just got a permanent job at the company. If I get married and have a baby now, wouldn't that cause trouble for the company?"
Seeing Guan Juer talking about her own method seriously, Zhou Chen burst out laughing. This silly woman actually took the blame for him. It was clearly my fault that she didn't want to get married, but Guan Juer pointed the finger at me.
Zhou Chen immediately told them his plan, and the two began to whisper to each other. They soon came up with a plan to deal with the situation, and finally they decided to let nature take its course.
The main principle is not to make your parents angry. As the saying goes, when enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. There will always be a solution. It won’t be too late to discuss this issue if we can postpone it for a year or two, right?
Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Chen immediately hugged Guan Juer and went to sleep. They slept until eight o'clock before getting up.
As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw Guan's father still sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and Guan's mother was clearing the table.
"Xiao Zhou, Guan Guan, are you guys awake?
Hurry up and wash up, then come over for breakfast and try some of our Wuxi specialty, the steamed dumplings. Auntie bought them for you early this morning, so be sure to savor them."
Zhou Chen nodded and quickly apologized, "Good morning, uncle and aunt. I drank a little too much yesterday, so I overslept this morning. I'm so rude."
Guan's mother quickly said that everything was fine, and then asked Guan Juer to take Zhou Chen to wash up.
What Zhou Chen was worried about happened during the meal. At this time, there was no need to talk about not talking while eating or sleeping. It was completely like a Hongmen Banquet.
"Xiao Zhou, I had a chat with Guan Guan yesterday. Since your parents are very satisfied with Guan Guan, we are also very supportive of you being together. When do you think our two families can meet to discuss the marriage arrangements?
Don't worry, my uncle and aunt are very open-minded. We don't have any requirements for a dowry. As long as you truly love each other and can live happily together, that's enough.
You don't have to worry about the dowry. We only have one daughter, and we will definitely marry her off with honor. If you have any requests, you can raise them and we can discuss them."
Zhou Chen and Guan Juer looked at each other and were speechless. Sure enough, the pressure to get married had begun.
If Guan Juer was urged to get married yesterday, she should be discussing marriage at the dinner table now. I saw that they have already started talking about the gift and dowry. It is obvious that Guan's father and mother are really anxious.
"Mom, didn't we agree yesterday that Zhou Chen and I would have a good discussion?
Why do I feel like I can't get married? I'm afraid it's not a good idea to talk about this during dinner. I'll let you know when we've discussed it."
Unfortunately, Guan Juer's mother didn't take Guan Juer's rebuttal to heart at all. She kept her eyes on Tang Tian, as if waiting for him to express his opinion.
Zhou Chen knew that he couldn't remain silent at this time, so he could only deceive and say: "Uncle and aunt, I respect Guan Guan's opinion on the matter of marriage, as long as she agrees, it's fine.
I also think you're right. Marriage is a matter between two families. I'll discuss it with my parents and I'd like to hear their opinions first."
As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, Guan Juer immediately took over the topic and said, "Mom, I want to postpone getting married for a year or two. On the one hand, I just got a permanent job, and I feel that I am still young. Everything should be based on work."
Hearing that Guan Juer was using work as an excuse to deal with her, Guan's mother quickly retorted: "Girls should get married early, this is the best way out.
Your company has a lot of overtime, so I think it would be better for you to quit. Then you can stay at home and take care of your husband and children."
Guan Juer of course disagreed with this, so she could only continue to deceive: "Mom, I don't think you are right. As for work, I just want to prove my ability.
There is another point we need to consider. Zhou Chen has an older sister who is not married yet. If we get married first, wouldn’t it be an insult to her? We also need to consider the impact.
I think we can first discuss it with Zhou Chen's parents, propose our marriage proposal, and then wait for a year or two to give Zhou Chen's sister some buffer time. Then when we propose marriage, it will be reasonable and well-founded.
You don't want me to have an unpleasant experience with Zhou Chen's sister right after getting married, right? "
Haha, Zhou Xingchen, who is far away in the imperial capital, doesn’t know that Zhou Chen and Guan Juer are using her as a shield. Why does it seem like she can’t get married?
This is the solution Zhou Chen and Guan Juer came up with after discussing for a long time. They hope it can serve as a delaying measure.
If it can be delayed for a year or two, and Guan Juer can give birth to a child, then even if the two do not get married, Guan Juer will not be able to get off Zhou Chen's pirate ship. At that time, Guan's father and mother will have no choice but to accept it.
Guan Juer's words seemed to make sense. In some places, there is indeed a bad habit that if the eldest child does not get married, it will be difficult for the second child to get married. However, Guan's mother soon discovered the loophole.
Since it is a wrong habit, why should we follow it? Zhou Chen is a rich second-generation, and his sister must also be a rich person. How could she not get married? Are you sure you are not kidding me?
"Uncle and aunt, I really like Guan Guan, but bringing up the matter of marriage now does seem a bit abrupt for us.
But don't worry, I'm not an irresponsible person. I will discuss it with my parents as soon as possible.
If Guan Guan wants to focus on her career and doesn't want to get married right now, then we can consider getting engaged first. In any case, I will definitely give you an answer."
In the end, it was Zhou Chen who made his attitude clear and finally convinced the old couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Guan looked at each other and nodded. They didn't insist anymore. After all, they also had to take Zhou Chen's parents' opinions into consideration.
In the afternoon, Zhou Chen and Guan Juer drove back to Shanghai. It was really a torture to stay at home, for fear that they would bring up the matter of marriage again.
