Chapter 45: Communication of Opposites
When Chen Qingyi said that Angel was a woman who was much better than her, everyone's eyes were all focused on Angel, as if she was asking about Angel's background.
"The executive CEO of Mr. An's listed company Li Jingxuan has a high reputation in the industry." Chen Qingyi answered everyone's doubts and told her about An Qi's identity.
The extremely beautiful face, extremely high social status, and strong economic conditions constitute the almost perfect Angel. However, I don’t know whether these are the help or resistance of love, and I can only wait for my family to express their opinions in a nervous state.
My father, who has always had the right to speak at home, looked at An Qi and finally said: "Fellowship is not a joke. We really can't accept your behavior emotionally. In addition, we are just small families and have never agreed to this aberrant way of dating. You are not young anymore. Since you get along, you must be for marriage. I don't doubt that you have feelings, but the relationship belongs to two people, but the marriage belongs to two families. As parents of this family, I don't agree with your interactions. As for the reasons, I think you all understand."
My father's words were already very tactful and did not use any intense words. With his personality, this was already taking care of Angel's feelings, but I was still extremely depressed, even though I was mentally prepared.
"Dad, Angel and I really want to be together. I admit that there is a big gap in material things, but I can work hard. I am already an adult with independent thinking, so I don't want you to interfere in my emotional matters."
Before my father could make a statement again, my aunt immediately answered the words: "Yixi, since ancient times, tragedies in love have been mostly caused by material asymmetry. Such examples are common around me. We are elders and have never been malicious to our younger generations. We just hope that you can live a comfortable life. My attitude and I have the same attitude as your father. We don't ask you what you will do in the future, but only ask for the word "stable". A person's life is very short, and emotional matters cannot withstand tossing. I hope you think about this matter twice and think about your current situation. Can you still continue this relationship with peace of mind?"
Everything was within my expectations, but I was so unacceptable. I knew that the reason they strongly opposed it was because of their love for Chen Qingyi. My grandfather was a teacher and my dad was also a political teacher in a high school in a small town. Chen Qingyi also came from a teacher family, which made the two families feel natural intimate and equally ordinary. Therefore, compared to An Qi, the always conservative family would definitely choose Chen Qingyi... More importantly, people have preconceived habits, and Chen Qingyi really did her best to my family. She has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in my family.
At this time, Angel finally spoke: "Elders, what is my family like? I don't have the right to choose, but I really want to be with Yixi. There has never been a smooth relationship in this world. Even the relationship you choose for him cannot avoid setbacks and quarrels. Avoiding these quarrels and frustrations requires tolerance and understanding. But if two people together do not even have a foundation for their relationship, how can they be tolerant and understanding?"
The meaning in Anqi's words is very obvious. She likes me, so she will tolerate and understand me. Now she is indeed tolerant and understand, but what if there is no emotional foundation, for example, Chen Qingyi and I will still have such tolerance and understanding?
I don't think so. As a friend, you can understand and tolerate it, but that is just a friend-style understanding and tolerant. Once the relationship changes and there is a dispute over the relationship, it will be difficult to accommodate the other party because there is no love.
After An Qi said that, the most straightforward aunt immediately refuted: "I don't think so. Feelings can be cultivated in the process of getting along, and I think Qingyi is definitely a woman who knows tolerance and understanding."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the point of confrontation was instantly pulled onto An Qi and Chen Qingyi. At this time, Chen Qingyi's statement became the key. If she said that she had no affection with me, it would be useless even if her family could force her.
Chen Qingyi paused and said, "Auntie, I only have a friendship with Yixi. Don't force him... Let's continue eating. The food has been served for a long time and it's almost cold."
The topic was finally brought over by Chen Qingyi. I looked at her gratefully. Fortunately, she was there this time, otherwise the scene would not be as restrained as it is now... But I felt a little bit undetectable loss in Chen Qingyi's expression, and I hope this is my hallucination.
The communication on men and women at the dinner table ended, but I would not think this is the end of the topic, and there will definitely be some communication next.
...........
After dinner, everyone stood in the parking lot outside the hotel. I planned to take Anqi to the hotel first, but Chen Qingyi seemed to be planning to leave, but the little aunt grabbed Chen Qingyi and said, "Qingyi, don't go back today. Stay at my aunt's house and chat with her."
"No, my aunt." Chen Qingyi looked at An Qi and me, and refused her invitation.
"No, it's too unsafe for you to drive back and forth twice this day. Today, the sky is not allowed to go back." The aunt said as she took her bag from Chen Qingyi's hand.
Grandpa, dad, mom and others also tried to keep her. The only thing that was silent was me, and Anqi had already walked into her car. I knew that the family's neglect of her and her love for Chen Qingyi hurt her.
My mother walked up to me and patted me hard and said, "No matter what Qingyi has to do with you, even as a friend, you should keep her. Are you afraid that she will not be safe when driving like this?"
"Let's leave tomorrow morning." I said to Chen Qingyi, but it was more like a polite word.
Everyone was helping each other, not allowing Chen Qingyi to leave, and finally Chen Qingyi nodded......
I didn't say anything anymore and turned around and walked towards Angel's car... At this time, people came and went in front of the hotel in the center of the county. Cars like Porsche Cayenne are rare in small towns. In addition, Angel sitting in the car, pedestrians couldn't help but take a few more glances. This scene made the family feel more distance from Angel.
I opened the car door and sat in the cab, trying to try to say something to Angel, but her solemn expression made me unable to speak. I knew what the attitude of my family meant to a woman so proud.
............
I had nothing to say along the way, so I sent Anqi to the hotel. I wanted to go up and accompany her for a while, but she refused and said that I was a little tired and needed a rest. I really hoped that she could have a safe and sound sleep.
When I walked out of the hotel door, my phone rang. It was my aunt who called me and asked me to go to the coffee shop to chat.
When I arrived at the coffee shop, my aunt got out of the taxi and we met together.
"Why didn't you drive that girl's car?" the little aunt asked me who got out of the car rental.
“It’s like taking a taxi.”
The little aunt shook her head and smiled, saying, "You know you are under pressure, that girl is not something that ordinary men can control."
I don't deny that I didn't drive Angel's car, it was indeed to avoid suspicion, especially when meeting my family.
"Go in and talk, it's quite cold outside." I said to my aunt. I also hope to chat with her with heart-to-heart. I hope to find a breakthrough here and let her accept Angel first, so that I don't have to be alone and helpless!
