Chapter 143: Guan's mother came to the Magic City suddenly and set up a blind date
Andy's guidance to Guan Juer was much more effective than Zhou Chen's. Zhou Chen suggested that Guan Juer find a new job, while Andy encouraged Guan Juer to face difficulties bravely.
At this time, Guan Juer is just a little flower in a greenhouse. She can only become successful if she experiences more hardships. Otherwise, she can only be a vase in the office.
This is certainly not what Guan Juer wants to see. Since she met Andy, she has been very motivated and regards Andy as her goal, so Andy's words were recognized by Guan Juer.
This made Zhou Chen feel a little jealous. Please, I am your boyfriend, but you prefer to believe Andy's words. Doesn't this make me seem like a failure as a boyfriend?
Soon Zhou Chen's mind began to wander again. For example, because you two have a good relationship, will Zhou Chen have fewer obstacles when he tries to conquer Andy in the future?
Haha, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing. Could this be another story of Ehuang and Nvying?
In the next few days, Guan Juer became busy again, writing self-apologies, revising plans, and working overtime. Her energy seemed to be stimulated, and she was so tired that she took a nap in the company's bathroom.
When the parents called and learned the news, they were immediately heartbroken. Their daughter clearly had a superior life, so why did she have to suffer like this?
Especially Guan Juer's mother, she has always been against Guan Juer joining that company.
Although the reputation of being in the Fortune 500 sounds better, the endless overtime work is constantly draining Guan Juer's energy, which makes her, as a mother, particularly distressed.
Afterwards, the two of them discussed and immediately decided to go to Shanghai to see Guan Juer. Even Guan's mother, who was always worried about her, thought of arranging a blind date for her daughter, so the two of them came here directly without notifying Guan Juer.
When Guan Juer received a call from her parents while she was at work, she immediately panicked when she learned that they had come to Shanghai.
It is certainly a good thing that her parents come to see her, but don’t forget that she has not told her family about her relationship with Zhou Chen. Will they find out anything when they come this time?
Of course, it’s not that Zhou Chen is not presentable, but because his emotional issues are too complicated. If his parents knew about this, they would not agree. When Guan Ju thought of this, she immediately became worried.
Guan Juer first asked for leave from her manager, and then called Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was a little surprised when he learned that Guan Juer's parents were coming to Shanghai.
Zhou Chen knew his situation very well. The Guan family, a family of scholars, probably found it difficult to accept his rebelliousness, especially his attitude towards love.
Zhou Chen looked at the anxious Guan Juer and could only comfort her, "Guan Guan, don't worry. It's not like I, Zhou Chen, can't do anything. My opinion is to let nature take its course. Do you want me to go with you? I can't let all the pressure fall on you."
Guan Juer shook her head at Zhou Chen's suggestion. She didn't want her parents to know about Zhou Chen's affairs, so she quickly refused, "Zhou Chen, you'd better not come over. I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm in a relationship for the time being.
I believe my parents came here this time because they worked overtime too much recently, and they came to see me. Your appearance might make things more complicated.
They will probably follow me to take a look at the rental house, and I will inform the neighbors on the 22nd floor and ask them not to reveal our relationship.
But it shouldn't be a big deal. I believe my parents left before they got off work, so it's just a precaution."
Guan Juer had already said so much, and Zhou Chen didn't know what to say anymore. He could only promise, "Guan Guan, don't take things on yourself. I think telling the truth is more sincere. Otherwise, if your parents find out, they'll probably blame you."
Unfortunately, Guan Juer had made up her mind and hung up the phone after Zhou Chen promised that she could call him anytime if anything happened.
Haha, Guan Juer has a good idea, but she forgot one thing. Her mother is a shrewd person. Can she be a match for her mother when it comes to scheming?
Guan Juer hurried to Qiantang Tea House, the address given by her parents. When she walked in, her heart sank immediately. It seemed that she would not be able to pass this hurdle today.
Because there was a family of three sitting opposite her parents, and it didn't look like they were here to see her, but more like they were here to arrange a blind date for her.
This immediately left Guan Juer speechless. The more she didn't want to reveal her relationship status, the more you arranged blind dates for me. Isn't this just causing trouble for me?
Haha, if Zhou Chen knew this news, he would probably come and kill him himself. You know, he is a jealous person.
Guan Juer walked over anyway. After she knew that her parents had indeed arranged a blind date for her, the situation suddenly became a little awkward.
Fortunately, Guan's mother eased the atmosphere at the tea table. She praised her daughter, which made the atmosphere lively.
Guan Juer was even more amazing. She started speaking English on the spot, which can be considered a form of resistance to her parents.
Haha, I didn’t expect that English could be used in this way. This made Guan Juer, who has a weak personality, show her dominance for once.
Guan Juer directly told the other party that she had no intention of falling in love, which was also a kind of rejection, so as to avoid making the atmosphere between the two families at the tea table more awkward.
After things were made clear, the two families soon parted ways. The parents on both sides thought they got along well, but they didn't know that the outcome had already been determined and their efforts were in vain.
Next, Guan Juer made a mistake. Because she was in a hurry to get here, she drove Zhou Chen's car.
Of course, Guan Juer also thought of an excuse. Her parents' sudden arrival caught her off guard. Not wanting to keep them waiting for long, Guan Juer borrowed a colleague's car.
This excuse seemed reasonable and well-founded, and her parents did not doubt it at first. Until she heard Guan Juer say that she and her blind date rejected each other in English, Guan's mother immediately became suspicious.
Mother Guan looked around the car, then opened the passenger side makeup mirror. She immediately knew what was going on. This girl had actually learned to lie to herself.
"pull over!"
Guan's mother's sudden words really confused Guan Juer who was driving and Guan's father who was sitting in the back seat. They didn't know what she wanted to do.
Guan Juer turned around and looked at her mother's serious face. She suddenly felt guilty because she knew this was a sign that her mother was about to get angry.
Although Guan Juer didn't know what went wrong, she still pulled over obediently.
Haha, Guan’s mother also has her own plans. She wants to verify whether her suspicion is correct. She suspects that her daughter is lying.
She knew her daughter's psychological quality. This girl really couldn't stand being frightened. She was afraid that what she said would make her daughter too panic and cause a car accident.
There were no so many concerns when parking by the side of the road. As soon as the car stopped, Guan's mother started to scare Guan Juer, saying that she would give it a try first to see if there was any result.
"You've been living in the Magic City for a while, and you've started to lie, right? I don't know every part of your body. Now, why don't you tell me the truth?"
Haha, Guan Juer really couldn’t stand being frightened. Faced with her mother’s serious expression, she immediately panicked.
