Chapter 1781 Pressure at home
Duan Shuxian stayed busy with her mother until 6:30, and the family came back. Usually, at this time, the staff manages and closes the store.
For Duan Shuxian, the time when she went home from grocery shopping was the most leisurely time. Her father watched the news, her mother cooked dinner, and she could do whatever she wanted in the room without being disturbed.
But tonight she didn't want to do anything, she was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, there were many things rushing in her mind, and her father's warning to her today. She has to listen to her father's words, because her father's words are also worried about her future. Even now, let her think about the future as a country, can she handle it? It must be done by the best woman
, Maybe a woman like my cousin is suitable.
Duan Shuxian is still young, even though she is about to enter the age of twenty-four, she is not ready to marry at all, let alone a future lord.
Duan Shuxian calms down, she needs to think about many things, she can't act willfully, just want the momentary sweetness of love!
Although she had known Xi Jingchen for only a few months, not even a year, she knew that she liked him, and she could even think it was love, and she would never forget his deep-seated feelings for the rest of her life.
In the kitchen, Duan Deming was helping his wife pick vegetables, and Li Yu jokingly mentioned that someone was going to match his daughter.
"Old Duan, do you have any special requirements for our daughter's future spouse?" Li Yuchao asked her husband.
"As long as you have a good character." Duan Deming didn't pay much attention to these things. "I have a customer here today. I met Shu Xian in the store last time. She said that her elder sister's son has been working for five years. He is 27 this year. I see in the photos that he looks good and has a good education! You said you want Don't you want to ask your daughter to meet him another day?"
In fact, Li Yu also hopes to start to check on her daughter earlier and choose a good family.
Duan Deming thought for a while and said, "I don't need it for now, the main reason is that I want her to quit her job in managing the library and come to your store to practice."
"Old Duan, tell me the truth, what happened to you? Aren't you very happy when Shu Xian decided to work in the library?" Li Yu looked at her husband worriedly.
Duan Deming had no choice but to sigh and said, "Okay! I'll tell you, but you have to keep it secret, don't talk to your daughter, let alone talk to outsiders."
"What's wrong?" Li Yu had never seen her husband chat with her so carefully.
"A young professor came to our school some time ago. He and Shu Xian got very close, and Shu Xian is quite satisfied with him. He is chasing our daughter."
"Isn't that good? To become a professor at such a young age, he must be a good boy!" Li Yu thought it was a good thing.
Duan Deming shook his head, sighed and said, "The young professor is not an ordinary person, he is a son of an official family, and he has a very strong background. I am afraid that Shu Xian is not good enough for him."
Li Yu was startled, "Our daughter is not bad either!"
Duan Deming's eyes showed a kind of absoluteness, "I will not let my daughter marry someone with a background. When you married me, didn't you want to live a stable life with me?"
"Does the professor's family have such a great background?"
"It's very huge. In short, it would be a big mistake for my daughter to be with him." Duan Deming didn't dare to directly say Xi Jingchen's identity.
Li Yu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Although I hope my daughter will marry well, but if her in-law's family is too powerful, she will be offended if she marries in."
Duan Deming immediately responded, "So, I asked my daughter to come out of school and help in your store, so as not to develop with this teacher."
Li Yu nodded, "Okay! Let her come to the store to help!"
Seeing that he had persuaded his wife, Duan Deming breathed a sigh of relief, and he should mention this matter to his daughter when he was having dinner later.
Holding the mobile phone, Duan Shuxian turned to Xi Jingchen's number unconsciously. It was obviously a series of numbers, but the combination of these numbers seemed to have an inexplicable majesty, which made her dare not disturb lightly.
She couldn't imagine what his life was like at all, she only saw him as a teacher in school, but without his teacher's identity, he was the young master of the Pavilion.
If she were to hear about such a character, she would never be able to imagine what kind of royal and noble life it would be, as if his world, an ordinary person like her would never be able to set foot in it.
Duan Shuxian bit her lip. An ordinary couple would send a greeting casually, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare. Even if she edited a sentence, she just asked him if he had eaten yet!
But after hesitating for a while, I deleted it, put the phone aside, and fell into the struggle of my own thoughts.
To be honest, Xi Jingchen didn't even have room to imagine his real life! She also didn't know what he was doing now, where he went, what kind of environment he was in, and what kind of people he was meeting.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Li Yu's voice sounded outside the door, "Shu Xian, it's time to eat."
"Okay! I'll come out right away." Duan Shuxian hurriedly responded.
She opened the door and came out. Three home-cooked dishes and a bowl of soup were placed on the table. In an ordinary home, such a dinner is very warm.
Duan Shuxian brought out the meal for her parents, Li Yu washed her hands and sat down at the table with her husband.
Li Yu said to Duan Shuxian, "Shuxian, I'm currently short of staff in the shop, do you want to come to mom's shop to help?"
"Mom, if you are short of staff, hire another employee! I think you are quite busy." Duan Shuxian suggested to her mother.
Duan Deming on the side said seriously, "Shu Xian, I've thought about it and decided to ask you to quit your job as a librarian and help out in your mother's store."
Duan Shuxian froze suddenly while she was eating. She looked at her father and then at her mother. She shook her head, "I don't want to quit this job."
Duan Deming's face became tough, "You have to resign if you don't want to. Anyway, you can't work in school anymore. You know that Dad did this for your own good."
Duan Shuxian was eating, when suddenly her eyes became wet and tears fell down her face. She really felt wronged by her father's toughness.
Li Yu was startled, looked at her husband and then at her daughter, "Shu Xian, why are you crying?"
Duan Shuxian took the tissue next to her and wiped away her tears. She held back her tears and said, "Dad, I beg you to let me work in school!"
"No, you have to leave school." Duan Deming also felt sorry for his daughter, and he didn't want to force her like this.
But only by letting her leave the school and cutting off the opportunity for her and Xi Jingchen to meet each other, can their relationship be prevented from continuing to develop.
"Shu Xian, your father told me that you are dating a young teacher. I heard that the teacher's family background is very rich. Your father is also worried that you will be wronged if you marry into such a family."
Tears flashed in Duan Shuxian's eyes, she knew that her father would not really reveal Xi Jingchen's identity.
"Mom, I like him." Duan Shuxian had no choice but to tell her mother her thoughts.
"You are not allowed to like him." Duan Deming suddenly patted the table, never staring at her so harshly.
Li Yu was also taken aback by her husband's sudden movement, she was a little puzzled, how could her husband be so angry
Duan Shuxian bit her lip, she suddenly lost her appetite, she put down her chopsticks and got up and said, "I'm going back to my room."
After speaking, she held back her tears and walked to her room. Li Yu immediately got up and went to comfort her. When she opened the door, she saw Duan Shuxian crying on the bed. She must have been really wronged.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Yu gently persuaded, "Shu Xian, tell mom if you have anything to do."
Duan Shuxian is helpless at the moment. If her father asks her to leave the school, it means that she will lose the chance to see Xi Jingchen. If she can't see him in school, then she will really cut off contact with him.
Duan Deming walked in, and he said to his wife, "Let me chat with her."
"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child!" Li Yuchao told her husband.
Duan Deming was also angry just now, and now he is also very guilty.
Li Yu closed the door, and Duan Deming sat on the edge of the bed, watching his daughter lying there, although she couldn't hear her crying, but she still choked. "I dare not tell your mother about Teacher Xi's identity. If you let her know that he is Minmin's blind date, how do you think your mother will be scared?"
