Chapter 247: Wang Xu’s Parents
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, Fang Ya urged Wang Xu and Li Tong to go out for a walk.
Although Fang Ya had never been through the early stages of young love, she had seen enough of those sour and smelly romantic dramas, so she knew some of the tropes.
Although Wang Xu was a little shy, she still followed Li Tong to the nearby garden to spend some time together.
Li Tong pulled Wang Xu to sit on a bench in the garden and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky. For a moment, he said nothing.
After a long time, Li Tong said, “Haven’t your parents looked for you recently?”
Wang Xu was stunned for a moment and shook her head. “No! They haven’t looked for me since I called them!”
When Wang Xu thought of that unpleasant phone call, she felt like her whole body was about to explode.
She had originally wanted to try to reconcile with her parents since she had already settled down.
After all, her parents were also thinking of her for the sake of her future life.
Who knew that her parents would not listen to her at all and only wanted her to hurry home and get married.
She repeatedly emphasized that she had a stable life now and that she also had a boyfriend who was not too bad.
However, her parents completely ignored her words and only asked her to go home. They even threatened to sever ties with her.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu could not help but let out a deep sigh.
Li Tong could see that Wang Xu was disturbed. He thought for a moment and asked, “Why don’t I go and talk to your parents?”
Wang Xu looked at Li Tong in surprise. Her eyes were wide open. “Are you crazy?”
Li Tong looked at Wang Xu’s expression and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “We’re together in the open. I’ll have to meet your parents sooner or later!”
Wang Xu thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
But now, her parents could not accept the fact that she had a boyfriend. If they came to her house rashly, would they not be chased out of the house by her irascible father with a broom?
The more Wang Xu thought about it, the more she became convinced that it would not work out well. She shook her head repeatedly. “Let me think of another way!”
Li Tong saw that Wang Xu was in a difficult position. He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms. “Don’t be afraid! I will always be by your side!”
“Just tell me what you need me to do. I will definitely make you happy!” Li Tong promised again.
Wang Xu rested her head on Li Tong’s shoulder and enjoyed this moment of peace.
Wang Xu never expected her parents to come looking the very next day just after they had talked about it the previous night.
However, because Wang Xu had not informed her parents about the latest moving, Wang Xu’s parents arrived at Fang Ya’s old place and found nothing.
When the large woman heard that they were Wang Xu’s parents, she helped to contact Wang Xu even though she was a little displeased.
After getting Fang Ya’s permission, Wang Xu told her parents the address of the new home.
Mingxia was listening to the radio while cleaning the house.
Suddenly, there was a violent rapping sound outside the door. Mingxia was shocked and quickly pulled the earphones out of her ears.
“Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so urgently?” Mingxia shouted in dissatisfaction.
She walked to the door and opened it. It was two unfamiliar-looking men and women in their forties and fifties.
Mingxia frowned. “Who are you? Don’t you know how to be polite?”
“We’re Wang Xu’s parents. Who are you?” The man was the first to speak as he sized up Mingxia.
Although Mingxia was wearing sportswear, her tanned and slightly red skin still made her look different from the girls in the city.
The man was certain that Mingxia was just a village girl from the countryside and did not take her seriously at all.
“Oh, you’re Wang Xu’s parents. She’s here, she’s here.” Mingxia ignored the other party’s unfriendliness, or rather, she was already used to it.
When she first entered the city, Mingxia still had some concerns, but slowly, she felt that she was no different from these people.
Especially under Fang Ya’s guidance, Mingxia even felt that she was in a better place than those coy girls in the city!
As Mingxia said this, she moved aside and invited Wang Xu’s parents into the room.
Wang Xu’s parents walked into the room. After looking around, the two of them exchanged looks.
Wang Xu, who was accompanying Tang Tang on Fang Ya’s side, heard that her parents had come over and quickly returned to her suite.
When Wang Xu’s parents saw that she had come from the opposite room, their expressions changed again.
Wang Xu sat on the sofa and looked at her parents who were sitting upright. “Why didn’t you call ahead of time?”
“Do I need to announce my arrival to my own daughter?” Wang Xu’s father snorted in dissatisfaction.
“But there’s someone downstairs...” Wang Xu was about to explain, but her mother interrupted her.
“Hey, it’s okay. I told them that my daughter lives upstairs and showed him your photo,” Wang Xu’s mother said with a smile.
“There are too few people here. Even the doorman downstairs knows you!” Wang Xu’s mother showed a proud smile.
Wang Xu frowned and looked at her parents. “He’s the security guard here, not the doorman!”
Wang Xu’s mother glanced at her but did not say anything.
Wang Xu sighed silently, but she knew that her parents’ thoughts would be hard to change.
