Chapter 1683 - Home Stress
Duan Shu Xian kept her mother company until 6: 30, when her family came back. Usually, this time, it was managed and closed by the employees.
Time to buy vegetables and come home was the most leisurely time for Duan Shu Xian. Her father watched the news, her mother cooked dinner, and she could do whatever she wanted in her room without being disturbed.
But tonight she didn't want to do anything. She lay in bed, looking up at the ceiling, and there was a lot going on in her head, and the warning her father had given her today. She couldn't not listen to her father's words because he was worried about her future. Even now, if she were to think about her future as a country, would she be able to handle it? That must be the best woman to do itMaybe a woman like my cousin would suit me.
Duan Shu Xian was still young. Even though she was going to be twenty-four soon, she was not ready to marry anyone, not to mention someone who would be his future husband.
Duan Shu Xian calmed down. There were many things she needed to think about. She couldn't act rashly and only seek the sweetness of love!Even though she had only known Xi Jingchen for a few months or less, and not even a year, she knew that she liked him. She could even consider it as love, and would never forget the unforgettable feelings he had in his entire life.
In the kitchen, Duan Deming was helping his wife pick vegetables, and once again jokingly brought up the matter of someone trying to matchmaking his daughter.
"Old Duan, do you have any special requests for our daughter's future partner?" Li Yu asked her husband.
"As long as my luck is good." Duan Deming did not place too much importance on such things. I have a customer today, the last time I came to the shop to see Shu Xian, she said her elder sister's son has been in the job for five years, this year's 27th, I see the pictures are not bad, education is also good! Do you want to make an appointment with your daughter to meet him some other day? "
Li Yu actually also hoped that she could check on his daughter a little earlier and choose a good person for her.
Duan Deming thought about it, then said, "For now, I don't need it. The main reason is that I want her to quit managing the library and come to your shop to train.""Old Duan, tell me the truth. What happened to you?" Didn't you feel happy when Shu Xian decided to work in the library? " Li Yu looked at her husband worriedly.
Duan Deming could only sigh, "Alright! I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret, don't talk to your daughter, and don't talk to outsiders. "
"What's wrong?" Li Yu had never seen her husband chat with her so seriously before.
"A while ago, a young professor came to our school. He and Shu Xian are very close, and Shu Xian is quite satisfied with him. He's chasing our daughter."
"Isn't that good? To be a professor at such a young age, that must be a pretty good boy! " Li Yu felt that this was a good thing.Duan Deming shook his head and sighed, "That young professor is not an ordinary person. He is a descendant of the Shangguan Family, and he has a very powerful background at that.
Li Yu was startled, "Our daughter isn't bad too, right?"
"I won't allow my daughter to marry into a family with some background. Didn't you marry me back then because you hoped to live a peaceful life with me?"
"Then is Professor's family background really that big?""It's huge. In short, it would be a huge mistake for his daughter to be with him." Duan Deming did not dare to say Xi Jingchen's identity directly.
Li Yu thought for a moment, then nodded her head, "Although I hope that my daughter can marry well, but, if my wife's family is too strong, she will definitely suffer if she marries into it."
Duan Deming immediately replied, "That's why I had my daughter come out of school to help out at your store, avoiding developing further with this teacher."
Li Yu nodded, "Alright! Let her come to the store and help! "
Seeing that Duan Deming had persuaded his wife, he heaved a sigh of relief. When it was time to eat dinner with his daughter, he would bring up this matter.
Duan Shu Xian held her phone and unknowingly looked at Xi Jingchen's number. It was clearly a string of numbers, but when these numbers were combined together, it seemed to have an indescribable prestige, making her feel afraid to easily interrupt.She couldn't imagine what his life would be like, she could only see him acting like a teacher in school, and without his identity as a teacher, he was the young master of the Pavilion Lord Manor.
If she had ever heard of such a character, she could not imagine what kind of life it was for a royal noble, as if his world, for ordinary people like her, would never set foot in it.
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips. Ordinary couples would casually send their greetings, but she hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to do so. Even though she edited her words, she only asked if he had eaten yet!
However, after hesitating for a moment, he decided to delete it. He placed the phone to the side and sank into his own struggle.
To be honest, she didn't even have the space to imagine Xi Jingchen's real life! It was unknown what he was doing, where he had gone, what kind of environment he was in, and what kind of people he had to meet.As he was lost in thought, Li Yu's voice came from outside the door, "Shu Xian, it's time to eat."
"Alright! I'll be right out. " Duan Shu Xian hurriedly replied.She pushed the door open and came out. There were three dishes on the table, a bowl of soup. In her usual home, this kind of dinner was very warm and cozy.
Duan Shu Xian brought out the food for her parents. Li Yu washed her hands and sat down on the table with her husband.
Li Yu said to Duan Shu Xian, "Shu Xian, I'm currently lacking manpower in the shop, do you want to come and help mother?"
"Mom, if we're lacking people, let's recruit another employee!" I see that you guys are quite busy as well. " Duan Shu Xian suggested to her mother.
Duan Deming said seriously, "Shu Xian, I thought about it and decided to let you quit your job as a librarian to go to your mother's shop to help."
Duan Shu Xian's actions of eating suddenly froze her. She looked at her father, then looked at her mother and shook her head. "I don't want to quit this job."Duan Deming's face became unyielding, "If you don't say anything, then you have to say it, since you can't work in school anymore, you know what father is doing, it's all for your own good."
As Duan Shu Xian ate, her eyes suddenly became watery and tears started to fall. She was truly wronged by her father's stubbornness.
Li Yu was shocked, she looked at her husband and then at her daughter, "Shu Xian, what are you crying for?"
Duan Shu Xian took a tissue at the side and wiped her tears away. She tried her best to hold back her tears as she said, "Dad, I beg you to let me work at school!""No, you have to leave school." Duan Deming also doted on his daughter. He didn't want to force her like this either.
But only by letting her leave the school, by letting her cut off all chances of meeting Xi Jingchen, would they be able to stop their relationship from developing any further.
"Shu Xian, your dad told me that you're dating a young teacher. I heard that the teacher's family background is very big, and your dad is worried that you'll be wronged if you marry into such a family."
Duan Shu Xian's eyes were filled with tears. She knew that her father would never reveal Xi Jingchen's identity.
"Mom, I like him." Duan Shu Xian could only tell her mother what she was thinking.
"You're not allowed to like him." Duan Deming suddenly slammed the table, he had never stared at her with such severity before.
At the side, Li Yu was also shocked by her husband's actions. She was a little puzzled, why was her husband so angry?
Duan Shu Xian bit her lips. She suddenly lost her appetite. Putting down her chopsticks, she stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room."
With that, she walked into her room while holding back her tears. Li Yu immediately stood up to comfort her, and when he pushed open the door, he saw Duan Shu Xian crying on the bed.
Li Yu sat on the side of the bed and advised gently, "Shu Xian, if there's anything, tell Mom."
At this moment, Duan Shu Xian's heart was helpless. If her father told her to leave school, then it meant that she no longer had the chance to see Xi Jingchen again. If she couldn't see him in school, then they had truly cut off all ties.Duan Deming walked in and said to his wife, "Let me talk to her for a bit."
"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child!" Li Yu warned her husband.
Duan Deming was angry just now, and now he also felt very guilty.Li Yu closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed, watching her daughter lie there. Although she could not be heard crying, she still sobbed. I don't even dare to tell your mother about Teacher Xi's identity. If she were to know that he is Min Min's blind date, how scared would your mother be? "
