Chapter 551 My family wants to meet you
"Su Chengyi, since you have even thought of your child's nickname, there is one thing I will boldly tell you?"
Before returning to the ward, Chu Qingmian suddenly grabbed his sleeves, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
What unspeakable secrets could Miss Chu have? No panic at all.
Adhering to this idea, Su Chengyi nodded indifferently and replied:
"Okay, you have the guts to say it."
"My family wants to meet you."
Chu Qingmian smiled slightly, and unknowingly tightened her fingers on his sleeves. points, obviously because they were afraid that he would run away.
"Huh?"
This was a possibility that Su Chengyi had never thought of. He was silent for a long time and then asked:
"I should have met your dad many times."
Although the atmosphere of each meeting was not very good, he was always wary of Chu Yuanjiang because of the proletarian prejudice against capitalists.
Of course, Chu Yuanjiang also had reservations about him, which was normal. After all, he abducted the daughter of someone else who had been raising him for eighteen years.
“I’ve met your mother too.”
Su Chengyi continued.
The atmosphere here is even worse. It can be said that tit-for-tat is tense.
Wei Peilan must have disliked him, an outsider who encouraged his daughter to be disobedient, but it didn't matter, because he didn't have much favorable impressions of her either.
Only Chu Qingmian, a kind-hearted person who doesn't hold grudges at all, can avoid completely breaking up with her biological mother and at least maintain a superficially decent relationship.
Su Chengyi thought that if it were him, it would be absolutely impossible.
But if you think about it carefully, for a big family like the Chu family, many things are beyond their control.
When Chu Yuanjiang first left the family and went out to work hard, he received a lot of help from Wei Peilan. In addition to the relationship between husband and wife, the two still maintained a "partner" relationship.
To some extent, this relationship is even stronger and more important than a couple.
The birth of Chu Qingmian strengthened this relationship, and she also became the link that maintains the relationship's stability.
In other words, if she chooses to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Wei Peilan because of her many behaviors, she will actually sever the relationship between the Chu family and the Wei family.
With Miss Chu’s extremely responsible character, no matter how much she suffered, she would not be able to do such a decisive thing.
This is also the reason why Wei Peilan has such a strict and ruthless attitude towards her daughter, because she knows very well that in addition to being a daughter, Chu Qingmian is also the "heir" and the "most important connecting link" between the two families.
If Chu Qingmian was not good enough to take on this responsibility, then everything would collapse right now.
So even if you put aside all feelings, you must let her grow into the best heir. Apart from that, she doesn't care about anything and can give up everything.
This is Wei Peilan’s educational philosophy.
Of course, she occasionally felt that it was cruel to ask a little girl to bear this, but once she thought of the death of her twin brother, her accidental sympathy would disappear.
Now that Chu Qingmian has reached adulthood, she can be said to be at the ceiling level in terms of excellence.
Wei Peilan has observed that almost none of her peers from other families can compare with her own daughter.
Occasionally, I feel that the girl from this family is pretty good, and the children from that family are also top-notch, but as long as these young people get together and appear on the same occasion, they will be incompetent.
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t be taken away from Chu Qingmian. She didn’t need to pretend to be eye-catching, she just stood there quietly, as if there was an invisible spotlight. Hitting the top of her head showed who was the protagonist here.
Wee Peilan is very satisfied with this.
But she also has one point that she is very dissatisfied with, namely emotional issues.
As the saying goes, emotions can only affect the speed at which a person draws a sword. Wei Peilan has recognized this truth since he was a child.
So when others were just starting to fall in love, she was taking various elite courses;
While others were walking hand in hand on the university campus, she was studying for a double degree and began to take over at the same time. The daily affairs of the family business;
When everyone else finally said goodbye to their green years and began to hold gatherings for the purpose of marriage, she finally began to think about "marriage" under the pressure of her elders.
Yes, skipping "love" and going directly to "marriage" in one step.
It was at this time that Chu Yuanjiang appeared in her field of vision. Putting aside everything else, her intuition showed that this person was very suitable to be her partner.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. The two of them performed their own duties and took on overseas business and domestic business respectively. In just a few years, the Chu family reached its current position as a business leader.
Procreating children is necessary for both of their families, and both of them are mentally prepared for this.
So Wei Peilan temporarily gave up his job and went home to raise his baby.
For an emotionless workaholic, this requires a huge sacrifice.
However, the result was not that good. The rare twins of twins and twins failed to retain this auspiciousness. The healthy one survived, and the weak one died early.
Wei Peilan felt that such a result was not worthy of her sacrifice, and soon entered a state of postpartum depression, and did not even want to look at her biological child for a long time.
As a similar person, Chu Yuanjiang said he understood all her emotions and adopted a tolerant attitude, although she became more and more unreasonable and harsh after that.
Wei Peilan actually knew very well that if it was his younger brother who survived, the same result would be the same.
This is her mental illness. She cannot accept any imperfection, and any possibility of ruining her original plan will drive her into a state of madness.
So, for this pair of newborns, perhaps the ones who survived were the unlucky ones.
Maintaining such a morbid mentality, Wei Peilan originally expected to cultivate a replica of herself, but she did not expect that things did not go according to her plan again.
Even growing in such an environment, Chu Qingmian, a little sapling, still had the ability to find sunlight on its own, and it grew up right away.
Not only did he not grow crooked, he also grew into a warm and honest child.
Wei Peilan sometimes wonders, who did he inherit it from? Neither she nor Chu Yuanjiang matched these two words, and there was no such atmosphere at home.
Perhaps a negative makes a positive, and genetic mutation can explain this situation.
Because of this, too much emotion has become a problem for Chu Qingmian right now.
Everything is good, but I am afraid that I will be prone to being emotional on key issues in the future, and I will be guided by my emotions and make many wrong choices.
It would be nice if there was some way to solve this problem, Wei Peilan thought, tapping the coffee cup with the spoon in his hand.
"If you have time, bring your boyfriend over to your house for a meal."
"That's the way it is."
Chu Qingmian explained.
“You want me to have dinner with your parents?”
Su Chengyi asked hesitantly.
"No."
Chu Qingmian shook her head in denial.
Su Chengyi was slightly relieved. It would be acceptable if he just met and said hello, but eating would be different.
As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth. When eating, if people focus on the food, it is easy to step into the trap deliberately thrown by some people with other ideas.
And if you focus all your attention on dealing with problems, your eating movements will become very stiff, and you may even have some rude behaviors.
This is why the ritual of meeting parents is usually "eating at home", because you can always see a lot of things.
"Not only my parents, but also my grandparents, uncles, aunts, aunts and uncles." Miss Chu counted them one by one with her fingers.
I couldn’t count the last ten fingers, so I had to count it all over again.
"I will not accompany you."
Su Chengyi made a "goodbye" gesture, turned around and left.
"Oh~~ It's not serious! It's just a casual meal."
Chu Qingmian trotted to catch up, smiling and holding his wrist.
"Whose family has a simple meal with seven aunts and eight aunts here?"
Su Chengyi shook his head to express a hundred rejections.
"I'm sorry, my second uncle's sixth aunt's third nephew is turning one year old. I can't go today - if your family asks, you can use this very reliable reason to refuse for me."
"What a weird and weird reason!"
Chu Qingmian wrinkled her nose and continued to explain.
"Actually, this is the case. There have always been many aunts who are keen on blind dates and like to mention my marriage to my family. Do you think it is strange? I have never even met those people, but these aunts I just think I would be willing to marry them. "
"One day I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said that actually I already have a boyfriend, the one I've been talking about since childhood! Then the aunt screamed in surprise and got busy! Start checking the household registration book.”
"Check the household registration book?"
"Yes, what is your surname, your height and weight, how many people are in your family, what do your parents do, what are your education levels, and what are your plans for the future. Of course, I didn't really I’ll just introduce you to them, and I’ll put it off.”
At this point, Chu Qingmian couldn’t help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect this aunt to be such a big talker! As soon as she found out, she started talking about it everywhere. Then many relatives at home came to ask my parents, saying, “When did it happen?” Time flies so fast when we are in love. I hugged her when she was a kid, blah blah blah.”
A similar classic sentence pattern appeared, I hugged you when you were a kid. .
Su Chengyi deeply suspected that the relative who said this actually didn't remember who the child he held was.
“In short, they all really want to see you.”
After Chu Qingmian explained the current situation, she hugged his arm and said coquettishly:
“Oh Su Chengyi~ In fact, having more people is a good thing! I promise, the other family members are much easier to get along with than my mother!
If my mother said that she wanted to meet you alone, I would definitely not agree to it. If you know what she will say to you, she might make things difficult for you! If there are more people, this won’t happen.”
When she said this, Su Chengyi thought it made sense.
For a person like Wei Peilan, the most important thing must be face-saving, and it is impossible to embarrass him in public.
Because if he fails to step down by then, it will be a disgrace to the Chu family.
“But I still think this is a bit like the Hongmen Banquet.”
Ever since getting the news, the alarm bell in Su Chengyi’s heart has been ringing faintly. I don’t know if it is a recurrence of social fear or an emergency evacuation. The safety device is warning.
"As long as I'm here, I will protect you!"
Chu Qingmian waved her fist and showed off the non-existent biceps on her thin arms.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not leave you half a step away when the time comes. If you encounter questions you don't want to answer, just leave them to me."
Questions you don't want to answer. That's too much.
Su Chengyi can't think of any questions that he would be more willing to answer.
"I think this matter needs to be discussed later."
He thought for a while and gave his answer.
“Why?”
Chu Qingmian blinked and asked curiously.
Of course she will not force Su Chengyi to do something he doesn't want to do. Although things like family banquets will have to be experienced sooner or later, she will try her best to resist all the pressure from the family and will wait until he is ready. that day.
The main reason I mentioned it to him right now was to give him some mental expectations.
“For example, if someone asks me about my family background, such as what my parents do for a living, how would I answer?”
Su Chengyi started to give examples.
“I will tell him, don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask!”
Chu Qingmian showed the ferocious face of a kitten protecting its food.
"."
Su Chengyi felt that it was really possible for her to do such a thing, so she had to change the question.
“Okay, if you think that question is impolite, then if someone asks me, what do I do?”
“Full-time male college student.”
Chu Qingmian couldn't help laughing when she said this, said "hmm", and continued:
"Just say you are in the game industry! How cool is that!"
"If I want to answer this question properly and decently, I first need to have certain achievements and reputation. "
Su Chengyi rubbed her head and explained patiently:
"I'm not doing this for my own sake, but considering the overall situation, I don't want to do it. It’s perfect for him to appear at your family banquet as your boyfriend, do you understand?”
In fact, if it is announced on the spot at the banquet that he is the popular producer “Zhi Jinchen”, everything will be different. Everything becomes simple.
It's a pity that nothing can be announced.
Chu Qingmian lowered her eyes and thought for a while, knowing that what he said was right, but she still said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Su Chengyi, this will bring you a lot of trouble." Pressure?"
"No."
Su Chengyi leaned down slightly and pinched the corners of her mouth.
"But I really think you are very good and powerful. In my heart, you are the most powerful person in the world.
I don't like others to suspect you behind your back and say bad things about you. If they see you, they will definitely You will know how unbearable their speculations are."
Chu Qingmian raised his eyes, his watery eyes full of sincere love, like stars shining in the Milky Way.
"I know."
Su Chengyi has often been a little distracted by her beautiful eyes in recent days, but he finally came back to his senses and continued:
"I won't make you wait too long, okay?"
"Okay, you can wait as long as you want."
Chu Qingmian lengthened her tone and said softly .
"Is it okay to wait until the age of seven or eighty?"
Su Chengyi deliberately teased her.
"Dei! Wait until Qi Lao. Please, it will be too long! Everyone will laugh at me because I can't get married!"
"I'm afraid no one will laugh at you by then."< br>
"It seems so."
