Chapter 1781 Pressure at home

Duan Shuxian stayed with her mother until half past six, and their family came back. At this time, employees were usually managed and closed the store.

The time when I went home from buying vegetables was the most leisurely for Duan Shuxian. My father reads the news and my mother cooks dinner. She does whatever she wants in the room without any disturbance.

But tonight she didn't want to do anything. She lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and there were a lot of things in her mind, and the warning from her father to her today.

She had to listen to her father's words, because her father's words were also worried about her future. Even now, let her think about the future as the wife of a country's president, can she deal with it?

That must be done by the best woman, maybe a woman like her cousin is suitable.

Duan Shuxian is still young, and even though she is about to reach the age of twenty-four, she is not ready to get married, let alone marry a future Mr. President.

Duan Shuxian calmed down. She needed to think about many things. She could not act willfully and just seek the temporary sweetness of love! Although she had only been a few months, less than a year, she knew that she liked him and could even think that it was love, and she would never forget his deep feelings in her life.

In the kitchen, Duan Deming was helping his wife pick vegetables, while Li Yu was jokingly mentioning that someone was going to tell his daughter about a matchmaker.

"Old Duan, do you have any special requirements for our daughter's future partner?"

Li Yu asked her husband for questions.

"As long as you have a good character, it's fine."

Duan Deming doesn't value these things very much.

"I came to a customer today. I met Shu Xian in the store last time. She said that her elder sister's son has been working for five years. This year, 27. I look good at the photos and have a good education! Do you think you want to ask your daughter to meet him another day?"

Li Yu actually hopes to start checking his daughter earlier and picking 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 to practice."

"Old Duan, tell me the truth, what's wrong with you?

When Shu Xian decided to work in the library, weren’t you very happy?”

Li Yu looked at her husband worriedly.

Duan Deming had no choice but to sigh and said, "Okay! I tell you, but you have to keep it a secret, don't talk to your daughter, let alone outsiders."

"What's wrong?"

Li Yu has never seen her husband chat with her so cautiously.

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

“Isn’t this good?

He is a professor at such a young age, so he must be a good boy!"

Li Yu thought this was a good thing.

Duan Deming shook his head and sighed, "That young professor is not an ordinary person. He is a child of an official family and has a very strong background. I am afraid that Shu Xian will not be worthy of him."

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

Duan Deming's eyes showed an absolute expression, "I wouldn't let my daughter marry someone from a political background. Didn't you marry me and hope to live a stable life with me?"

"Does the professor's family have that big background?"

"It's very huge. Anyway, it would be a big mistake for my daughter to be with him."

Duan Deming didn't dare to talk about Xi Jingchen's identity directly.

Li Yu thought about it and nodded, "Although I hope my daughter can marry well, if her in-laws are too strong, she will be angry if she gets married."

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

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

Duan Deming was relieved to persuade his wife. When he was having dinner, he should mention this matter with his daughter.

Duan Shuxian held the phone and unknowingly flipped into Xi Jingchen's number. It was obviously a string of numbers, but when these numbers were combined together, it seemed to have an inexplicable majesty that made her dare not disturb her easily.

She could not imagine what his life was like. She only saw him as a teacher in school. Without being a teacher, he was the young master of the Presidential Palace.

If she had heard of such a person, she could not imagine what kind of life it was for the royal aristocratic world, as if in his world, ordinary people like her would never be able to enter.

Duan Shuxian bit her lip, and the usual couple sent a greeting casually, but she hesitated for a long time and didn't dare. Even if she edited the sentence, she just asked him if he had eaten? But after hesitating for a while, she deleted it, put her phone aside, and fell into her own struggles.

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

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Yu's voice sounded outside the door, "Shu Xian, it's time to eat."

"Okay! I'll come out soon."

Duan Shuxian responded quickly.

She pushed the door out and put three home-cooked dishes on the table and a bowl of soup. At ordinary home, such a dinner was very warm.

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

Li Yu said to Duan Shuxian, "Shuxian, I am short of staff in the store now. Do you want to come to my mother's store to help?"

"Mom, if you lack people, hire another employee! I think you are very busy."

Duan Shuxian suggested to her mother.

Duan Deming, who was standing beside him, said seriously, "Shu Xian, I thought about it and decided to ask you to quit your job as a library administrator and go to your mother's store to help."

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

Duan Deming had a tough look on his face, "You have to refuse even 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, and her eyes suddenly became wet and tears fell down. She was really 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. 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 letting her and Xi Jingchen cut off the opportunity to meet can their relationship be prevented from continuing to develop.

"Shu Xian, your father told me that you were dating a young teacher. I heard that the teacher had a big family background, and your father was also worried that you would suffer a grievance if you marry into such a family."

Duan Shuxian's eyes were shining with tears. She knew that her father would not really tell Xi Jingchen's identity.

"Mom, I like him."

Duan Shuxian had no choice but to tell her mother what she thought.

"You are not allowed to like him."

Duan Deming suddenly slapped the table and had never stared at her so sternly.

Li Yu was also shocked by her husband's sudden movements. She was a little puzzled. How could her husband be so angry?

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

After saying that, she held back her tears and walked towards her room. Li Yu immediately got up and comforted her. She pushed open the door and saw Duan Shuxian lying on the bed crying. She probably suffered a lot of grievances.

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

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

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

"Worry, don't scare the child!"

Li Yu told her husband.

Duan Deming was also angry just now, and he felt very guilty now.

Li Yu closed the door, Duan Deming sat on the edge of the bed, watching his daughter lying there. Although she couldn't hear her crying, she still had some sob movements.
