Chapter 1682 Pressure at Home

Chapter 1781 Pressure at home

Duan Shuxian stayed busy with her mother until half past six, and the family came back. Normally at this time, employees would manage and close the store.

For Duan Shuxian, the time spent shopping for groceries is the most leisurely. Her father watches the news and her mother cooks dinner. She can do whatever she wants in the room without being disturbed.

But she didn't want to do anything tonight. She was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, with many things rushing through her mind, as well as 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 cope with it? That must be accomplished by the best women.

, maybe a woman like my cousin is suitable.

Duan Shuxian is still young. Even though she is about to turn twenty-four, she is not ready to get married at all, let alone marry a future lord.

Duan Shuxian calmed down. She needed to think about many things. She couldn't be willful and just want the temporary sweetness of love!

Although she had known Xi Jingchen for only a few months, not even a year, she knew that she liked him, she could even think of it as love, and she would never forget his deep 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 be a matchmaker for his daughter.

"Old Duan, do you have any special requirements for our daughter's future partner?" Li Yu asked her husband.

"As long as the character is good." Duan Deming didn't value these too much. "I have a customer here today. I met Shu Xian last time I came to the store. She said that her eldest sister's son has been working for five years and is twenty-seven this year. I see in the photo that he looks good and has a good academic background! You said he wants to Don’t you want to ask your daughter to meet him another day?”

In fact, Li Yu also hopes to start checking her daughter earlier and choose a good family.

Duan Deming thought for a while and said, "No need for now. The main reason is that I want her to quit her job in the library and come to your store for some training."

"Old Duan, tell me the truth, what happened to you? Weren'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 a secret. Don't talk to your daughter, let alone outsiders."

"What's wrong?" Li Yu had never seen her husband chatting with her so carefully.

"A young professor came to our school some time ago. He is very close to Shu Xian, and Shu Xian is quite satisfied with him. He is chasing our daughter."

"Isn't this good? To become a professor at such a young age, he must be a good boy!" Li Yu thought this was a good thing.

Duan Deming shook his head, sighed and said, "That young professor is not an ordinary person. He is a son of an official family, and he has a very powerful background. I'm afraid Shu Xian is not worthy of him."

Li Yu was startled, "Our daughter is not bad either!"

Duan Deming's eyes showed an absolute expression, "I will not let my daughter marry someone with a background. When you married me, didn't you also hope to live a stable life with me?"

"Is the professor's family background that big?"

"It's very huge. In short, it would be a big mistake for my daughter to be with him." Duan Deming did not dare to tell Xi Jingchen's identity directly.

Li Yu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Although I hope my daughter will marry well, if her husband's family is too strong, she will be angry if she marries in."

Duan Deming immediately responded, "So, I asked my daughter to come out of school and help in your store to avoid developing a relationship with this teacher."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay! Let her come to the store to help!"

Duan Deming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had persuaded his wife. He would mention this matter to his daughter during dinner later.

Duan Shuxian held her cell phone and unknowingly turned to Xi Jingchen's number. It was obviously a string of numbers, but when combined together, the string of numbers seemed to have an inexplicable majesty, making her dare not disturb him lightly.

She simply couldn't imagine what his life was like. She only saw him as a teacher in school, and without his identity as a teacher, he was the young master of Gejun Mansion.

If she had heard about such a character, she would not be able to imagine what kind of life it was like for a royal noble. It was as if his world was something that ordinary people like her would never be able to enter.

Duan Shuxian bit her lip and casually sent a greeting to each other like a normal couple, but she hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare. Even though she had edited a sentence, she just asked him if he had eaten!

But after hesitating for a moment, he deleted it, put the phone aside, and fell into the struggle of his own thoughts.

To be honest, she didn't even have room to imagine Xi Jingchen's real life! She didn't know what he was doing at the moment, where he went, what kind of environment he was in, and what kind of people he met.

While I was thinking wildly, Li Yu's voice sounded outside the door, "Shu Xian, it's time to eat."

"Okay! I'll be out right away." Duan Shuxian responded hurriedly.

She opened the door and came out. On the table were three home-cooked dishes and a bowl of soup. In an ordinary home, such a dinner would be very warm.

Duan Shuxian brought out the meal for her parents, and Li Yu washed her hands and sat at the table with her husband.

Li Yu said to Duan Shuxian, "Shu Xian, my store is short of manpower now. Do you want to come to my mother's store to help?"

"Mom, if there is a shortage of people, hire another employee! I think you are quite busy too." Duan Shuxian suggested to her mother.

Duan Deming on the side said seriously, "Shu Xian, I thought about it and decided to let you quit your job as a librarian and help in your mother's shop."

Duan Shuxian froze while eating. She looked at her father and then her mother. She shook her head, "I don't want to quit this job."

Duan Deming had a tough look on his face, "You have to resign even if you don't want to. Anyway, you can't work in school anymore. You know that dad is doing this for your own good."

Duan Shuxian was eating when her eyes suddenly became wet and tears fell down. She really felt aggrieved 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 her tears away. She held back her tears and said, "Dad, I beg you to let me work in the 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 school and cutting off the opportunity for her and Xi Jingchen to meet can they prevent their relationship from continuing to develop.

"Shu Xian, your dad told me that you are dating a young teacher. I heard that the teacher has a rich family background. Your dad is also worried that you will be wronged if you marry into such a family."

Duan Shuxian's eyes were filled with tears. 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 what she was thinking.

"You are not allowed to like him." Duan Deming suddenly slapped the table and stared at her so sternly.

Li Yu on the side was also startled by her husband's sudden action. She was a little confused, why could her husband be so angry?

Duan Shuxian bit her lip. She suddenly lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and stood up and said, "I'm going back to the room."

After saying that, 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 lying on the bed crying, probably because she was really wronged.

Li Yu sat on the edge of the bed and gently advised, "Shu Xian, tell mom if you have anything to do."

Duan Shuxian felt helpless at the moment. If her father asked her to leave school, it would mean that she would have no chance to see Xi Jingchen. If she could not see him in school, then she would really be cut off from him.

Duan Deming walked in and said to his wife, "Let me talk to her."

"Keep your voice down, don't scare the children!" Li Yuchao warned her husband.

Duan Deming was angry just now, and now he also feels 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, she still made some sobbing movements. "I don't even dare to tell your mother about Teacher Xi's identity. If she knew that he was Minmin's blind date, how frightened do you think your mother would be?"
