Chapter 961: An Xiaohui’s Family Matters

Translator: Lonelytree 

An Xiaohui held the phone and listened to her father’s loud voice shouting at her. She had a headache and felt wronged.

She rubbed her temples and explained to Father An, “Father, it’s not that I rejected An Yang. It’s the company. You should know better than me what kind of person An Yang is.

“Why did he get rejected in the first round? First, his character isn’t up to par. Not only is he lazy, but he’s also overly ambitious. He wants to be a manager the moment he joins the company. Father, do you think a person like An Yang can be a manager?”

Father An didn’t listen to her explanation and said, “I don’t care. It’s your fault that An Yang can’t get into your company. Now that your uncle is making a scene at home, all my relatives and friends know that I have a daughter who isn’t filial. She has a good job but looks down on her relatives.” Speaking up to this point, Father An ordered, “An Xiaohui, let me tell you. Immediately arrange a job for An Yang in your company. It better be a department manager or something. Otherwise, I’m not your father anymore. I don’t have a cold and heartless daughter like you!”

An Xiaohui called out helplessly, “Dad, can you not be unreasonable? I don’t own this company.

“Dad, let me tell you, I don’t have such great authority. Do you know what kind of qualifications are required for a department manager in our company? There are many people with PhDs and Masters that are rejected too.

“What kind of qualifications does An Yang have? He is just a third-rate university graduate. But that is fine. After all, our company doesn’t place much emphasis on qualifications, only on ability.

“But Dad, is An Yang capable?

“After graduating from university, he couldn’t find any kind of job for long. He either complained that the work was tiring or that the salary was too little. He also complained that the company didn’t directly arrange a manager position for him. Later on, he didn’t go to work for a long time. He played games at home and stayed idly at home for two years.

“For a person like An Yang, not to mention our company, even some small companies wouldn’t want him.

“Dad, don’t make things difficult for me. I won’t use my work for personal gain and arrange for An Yang to work for our company. Unless he wants to work as a vegetable farmer on the plantation.”

“Vegetable farmer?” Father An was a little puzzled.

Then, a voice from the side was transmitted to the phone.

“Vegetable farmer?” A female voice shouted, “An Xiaohui, it’s fine that you look down on poor people, but An Yang is your cousin. You both graduated from university, but you actually criticized him and looked down on him. In other words, you’re saying that my Yang ‘Er is inferior to you. It’s clear that you look down on us, and that’s why you won’t do us this simple favor.

“An Xiaohui, I can see that you’re a cold-blooded and heartless bitch.” On the phone, An Xiaohui’s aunt cursed at her. Then, An Xiaohui heard her aunt say to her parents, “Big Brother and sister-in-law, in the future, our two families should stop interacting with each other. We’re not worthy.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. Let’s talk things out!” Mother An quickly comforted her.

“What’s there to talk about?” Aunt An said angrily, “In the future, our two families will not come to visit anymore. We are really not worthy of your daughter who looks down on us!”

The last sentence was like a stab to the heart of Father and Mother An, especially An Xiaohui. She felt even more wronged and helpless.

Then, An Xiaohui heard the sound of a bang. It was probably the sound of her second uncle and aunt slamming the door as they left.

Then, An Xiaohui heard an angry roar. “An Xiaohui, I’m not your father anymore. This isn’t your home either. We don’t have such a cold-blooded and heartless daughter!”

With that, the other party directly hung up the phone.

An Xiaohui held the phone. She looked like she wanted to cry, but there were no tears. She was also extremely sad.

She didn’t know what to do with her parents, who didn’t support her.

Her parents only had her as a daughter. Their family preferred sons, so her parents always wanted a son.

But this wish never came true.

Gradually, they got older and stopped trying.

However, because they did not have a son, they placed their hopes on their nephew. They hoped that when they were old, their nephew would look after them.

They even promised that their family’s property would be given to An Yang in the future.

It was really funny.

They gave their property to her nephew, but they asked her for everything.

An Xiaohui felt very sad, but she also felt helpless.

Her parents were old-fashioned. As her daughter, she could not really ignore them. They were furious that she had failed An Yang this time. They would ignore her for a long time.

This was also good. She could be quiet for a period of time. Her parents’ health was still fine, so she did not have to worry for the time being.

Thinking of this, An Xiaohui rubbed her red eyes, and then she paused.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Lingyu walked into An Xiaohui’s office and saw An Xiaohui’s red eyes. “Are you crying? Have you been under too much pressure at work recently?”

An Xiaohui shook her head and said, “This has nothing to do with work. It’s just my family matters.”

Xiao Lingyu had heard about An Xiaohui’s family matters. She pulled a chair over and sat directly opposite An Xiaohui, “Your family matters? Could it be that your parents called again and asked you to arrange a job for one of your relatives?”

An Xiaohui’s expression was a little surprised. “CEO Xiao, how did you know?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Almost everyone in the company knows about your family matters.” She spread her hands and said, “Of course, I’ve heard about it.”

“Huh?” An Xiaohui’s expression was a little stunned. She never expected that her matter would be known by everyone in the company. This was… too embarrassing.

Looking at her expression, Xiao Lingyu found it funny. She said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’m the only one who knows about your matter.”

An Xiaohui let out a sigh of relief when she heard that. Then, she reacted, “President Xiao, how did you know?”

“Xiao Wang told me!” Xiao Lingyu said.

An Xiaohui, “…”

Xiao Lingyu sighed softly and said, “Don’t blame Xiao Wang. He told me about your family issue because he was worried about you. He wanted me to advise you! If you don’t mind, tell me about your family in detail and see if I can solve it for you.”
