Chapter 011 Accidental Encounter on the Return Trip 1_1

Chen Yuxuan's parents are in Pengcheng?

The news came too suddenly, and Lu Qingqing couldn't help but be startled, with no mental preparation whatsoever.

But her response was very agile, and she immediately smiled back at Chen Yuxuan, "Since uncle and aunt have come all the way to Pengcheng, why don't they stay for a few more days? You can accompany them to have a good tour around, try the local delicacies, take in the local scenery, and enjoy your filial piety. I will go back home day after tomorrow to make some preparations, and the day after that, I will invite uncle and aunt for a meal."

She was firm in character and liked to live her life with a plan.

Therefore, she didn't change her own schedule because of the sudden arrival of Chen's father and mother.

Rushing back upon receiving the call without stopping would seem overly eager. A well-educated elder might think she respects them; otherwise, they might think she is too eager to meet the man's parents and not composed enough.

She had written many stories about family trivialities and understood the complexities of human nature all too well.

Since both possibilities could happen, she might as well stick to her own plans.

Upon knowing this, Tang Tang immediately raised both hands in agreement.

"Launching a surprise attack without a heads-up and demanding to meet you, they sure have some nerve! You're here for my wedding, and if you had to work out of town for a long time, would you have to stop working and rush back to Pengcheng to meet them to be considered respectful?" Tang Tang didn't have a good impression of Chen Yuxuan and naturally was biased against his family. "By the way, Qingqing, do you know about Chen Yuxuan's family background?"

Love is the sweetness between two people, but marriage is a matter concerning two families. Different values can easily lead to conflicts.

Lu Qingqing thought for a moment, "His family is in our city. I've heard him say that he bought a commercial house on a mortgage in the city and is currently paying it off. His parents are both retired workers, have a welfare house allocated by their previous employer, and receive a considerable pension every month. He has an older sister who is married off quite well, and a younger sister who should be graduating from university this year."

Similar to her family situation, the parents had their own house and retirement pension, and as long as they didn't have any serious illnesses, they didn't have too much of a financial burden.

Tang Tang was the first to spot a problem. "Oh, they had more children than permitted? The family planning policy was strictest in the eighties and nineties. How come Chen Yuxuan's parents, both working and retired, didn't lose their jobs due to the policy violation? It's clear their family couldn't have had a permit for a second child like Teacher Lu and Teacher Ning."

Lu Qingqing had an older brother and a younger twin brother, the latter being a part of the second childbirth.

Lu's father and mother, both born in the fifties and sixties, were only children, which was rare in that era. Therefore, according to local regulations, they were allowed to have a second child without affecting either of their jobs.

Lu Qingqing had not asked Chen Yuxuan in detail about this matter, so she couldn't answer Tang Tang's question at the moment. "I'm not quite sure about that."

"You, oh you!" Tang Tang tapped her forehead. "This concerns your lifetime, yet you haven't made the effort to find out."

Lu Qingqing blinked her innocent, bright eyes. "It's just dating, no one can guarantee if we'll end up together. Why should I ask so meticulously? If there's a plan to marry, of course, I'll ask. But isn't there none at the moment? Besides, if he wants to share, he will naturally do so. If he does not, asking is useless."

Tang Tang's eyes lit up. "You don't plan on marrying Chen Yuxuan?"

This truly was good news!

Lu Qingqing looked at her helplessly, seeing right through her thoughts. "At least for now, Chen Yuxuan hasn't given me any desire or confidence to step into marriage, so let's just go with the flow!"

"Actually, the reason is simple, Chen Yuxuan hasn't given you enough sense of security," Tang Tang stated knowingly.

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh. "My sense of security comes from myself."
