Chapter 174: Chen Mingchu's parents
Since Chen Mingchu proposed, Bai Annian has a sense of happiness that she lives in the clouds, and in the words of her colleague next to her, she works overtime with a smile.
After work that day, she saw that it was rare to have time to pick her up, Chen Mingchu was waiting on the side, and after saying goodbye to her colleagues, she hurriedly walked over.
"Xiaobai, there is something I need to tell you, my parents heard that we are engaged and are ready to come and see us." When the two were eating, Chen Mingchu suddenly mentioned it in person.
Bai Annian welcomed: "Are uncles and aunts also doctors?" β
"My father used to be the director of the local TCM hospital, but now he is retired, and my mother is a university professor."
After Chen Mingchu finished talking about his parents, he finally comforted Bai Annian: "Xiaobai, don't worry, they will like you." β
In the next few days, Bai Annian received a notice that Chen's father and Chen's mother came to T City.
Bai Annian, who was wearing a professional suit, was looking at the airport a little nervously, and finally saw Chen's father and Chen's mother at the exit, Chen's mother was tall and well-maintained, compared to a university professor, like a company executive, and Chen's father was wearing a gray tunic, and the clothes had no obvious logo but the degree of fit was seen at a glance that it was privately customized.
Bai Annian immediately walked over to greet the second elder, and was about to take the box from Chen's mother and explained: "Uncle and aunt, he couldn't leave the clinic today at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, so he specially asked me to pick you up first." β
"It's called Xiaobai, right? Little white girl, I'm sorry for you. Chen's mother smiled and nodded, with the pride of an intellectual on her face.
Father Chen seemed much kinder, and asked Bai Annian to be with them without restraint.
After the clinic got off work, Chen Mingchu took the three of them to a reserved private restaurant for dinner.
"At the beginning of tomorrow, I see that your clinic in T City is doing well, and your reputation is not small." Father Chen took the lead on the table to break the embarrassment.
"What's so good about this, it turns out that the director of the hospital is not right, so it's so hard to be in the field now." Chen's mother looked at her son who often couldn't rest, and felt a little distressed.
"Xiaobai, isn't it hard for you to be a reporter?" Chen's mother saw Chen's father wink, and immediately changed the topic.
"Auntie, although we reporters work hard, it is interesting to run around, and we have experienced more things and learned more." Bai Annian replied casually.
Chen's mother muttered in her heart, and sure enough, as Xiaoyun said, this white reporter should be a woman with rich life experience, and her son is the first time to take a girl to meet her parents.
"Xiaobai, we are a little older at the beginning of next year, blame him for not falling in love when he should be in love, but he is studying medicine all his mind, and his emotional lover is simple, which is actually stronger than those young men who have a dozen girlfriends."
Bai Annian couldn't understand the hidden meaning of Chen's mother's words, so he didn't dare to talk casually, so he could only nod and smile in agreement.
After eating, Chen Mingchu sent his parents to the hotel.
"Mom and Dad, I just said that Xiaobai is a good girl, right?" Chen Mingchu said while helping to put away the luggage.
"At the beginning of tomorrow, as long as you find what you like, we have no objection, but although you are old but have little emotional experience, I think you have set this marriage too hastily, you must at least understand each other before talking." Chen's mother made tea for the grandfather, apparently wanting Chen Mingchu to sit down and have a long talk.
"I agree with your mother, it doesn't hurt for you to get to know each other better." Chen's father also agreed.
"We know each other very well, and besides, the two of us are friends of life and death, and there can be a few couples who want us to go through this experience."
"Silly boy, Mom wants you and your lover to be safe, and never go through these things. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a woman who brought you into danger three or four times was not a good match.
At this time, Chen's mother's words made Chen Mingchu want to refute, but he couldn't find a reason for a while.
"Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you, although you have always been strict with me since I was a child, but you have never interfered in my private affairs, what do you have to say about Xiaobai this time? Can't you just say it? β
Chen's father and Chen's mother glanced at each other and were silent for a few seconds, not knowing how to talk to their son, but Chen's mother spoke: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it is your freedom to marry whom, and we will not interfere, but there are some problems that parents still have to remind you." β
"This Xiaobai, I have been in love with a customer in your clinic for several years, this person is said to be a well-known business person in T City, and her sister also committed suicide because of this man, and the emotional entanglement of the two sisters in the family is so strange that they are in the same man, do you know these things and can accept them?"
"We're just afraid that your emotional experience is simple and easy to be taken advantage of. Of course, if you know all of this and have no opinion, we as parents listen to you. Mother Chen looked at her son who didn't speak, and left such a sentence.
"Mom. I don't know about some of them, but how do you know so many things? Chen Mingchu looked at Chen's mother suspiciously after being silent, he knew that Bai Annian and Huo Li were old acquaintances, but he didn't know that there was such an entanglement between the two.
"I, I don't know, I also heard from the people in your clinic." Chen's mother answered her son's question with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes.
Chen Mingchu did not meet Bai Annian again on the grounds that he was busy with his parents these days.
"Mom and Dad, you have to take care of yourself when you go back, I have thought about Xiaobai's affairs, this is my choice." Chen Mingchu said as he took his parents to security at the airport.
"Son, then we respect your choice." Mother Chen sighed, waved her hand and left T City.
Bai Annian's heart has been a little uneasy in the past few days, judging from her professional sensitivity as a reporter, she always feels that the attitude of Chen Mingchu's parents is a little strange, and they seem to vaguely reveal their dissatisfaction with themselves.
She can't figure it out, she is good-looking, and she can be regarded as capable of everything in her work, education, and family, and it stands to reason that she should be the ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of her parents.
After knowing that Chen Mingchu's parents went back, Bai Annian couldn't help but take the initiative to come to Chen Mingchu and wanted to ask for clarification.
"Xiaobai, no matter what you do, my parents are just a little worried about us getting engaged so soon, especially my mother, who seems to be dressed fashionably, but is actually an old-fashioned person."
"It's good that my uncle and aunt don't have an opinion on me, but it's good that you Chen Mingchu still made me cranky and worried for several days." Bai Annian let out a long breath and complained with a smile.
"I've been busy these days and haven't come to you, but don't worry, there is one last thing, I'll come to you after I finish dealing with it." Chen Mingchu didn't want to tell her his mother's opinion, which made her worry, and he didn't want to cause conflicts between her and his parents, because Bai Annian in front of him was the woman he was going to live a lifetime.
Chen Mingchu is not a person who makes trouble for himself, no matter what Bai Annian's past relationship was, what the relationship between her and Huo Li was before, he made up his mind not to care, as long as the two of them recognized each other now.
"Xiaoyun, when today's patients are over, you come to me." Today in the clinic, Chen Mingchu said to Xiaoyun uncharacteristically and seriously.
After getting off work, Xiaoyun put away his usual joking and cautiously knocked on the door of Chen Mingchu's clinic.
"Xiaoyun, you have also been working in my clinic for 6 years, not only my oldest employee, but also my friend, I will give you a chance to explain." Chen Mingchu changed out of his white coat and sat in the dim light in black casual clothes, unable to reflect the expression on his face.
"Why did you investigate my fiancΓ©e's privacy and secretly tell my parents?" His tone was as calm as ever.
Xiaoyun stood at the door in a dilemma, not knowing how to answer. It was because she liked Chen Mingchu and flattered Chen's mother that she regularly took the initiative to report the news in the clinic to Chen's mother, because she was jealous that Bai Annian and Chen Mingchu were together, so she went to investigate Bai Annian's past relationship history, and she also lied to the two of them in order to make Chen Mingchu unable to go to Santoni to propose.
As early as when he entered the clinic, he had feelings for him, but this relationship has been several years, and now Xiaoyun looked at Chen Mingchu with a disappointed face, but he couldn't say anything.
"Xiaoyun, for the sake of you working for the clinic for so many years, I won't fire you, you will leave your job automatically tomorrow. I'm sorry, but my privacy, including my lover's privacy, is my bottom line. β
"No, Dr. Chan, I'm sorry it's me." When Xiaoyun heard that she was going to leave the clinic by herself, she hurriedly opened her mouth without speaking.
"Don't say it, you better go." Chen Mingchu interrupted Xiaoyun's words and didn't let her continue, he was afraid that Xiaoyun's explanation would embarrass both of them.
The next day, Bai Annian received a message from Chen Mingchu that the matter was over, and it was all about her. Bai Annian smirked when he saw the information, said hello to the newspaper, and came to the clinic early to surprise Chen Mingchu.
When I arrived at the clinic, I found that Xiaoyun at the front desk was packing up her things, and Xiaoyun, who was about to leave, saw Bai Annian, she stopped and smiled embarrassedly, and said to Bai Annian: "Please be nice to Dr. Chen, and I'm sorry." β
Bai Annian pushed the door in and hugged Chen Mingchu when he saw him, and joked coquettishly: "I can't see that Xiaoyun is still your suitor, but why did your suitor abandon you?" β
Chen Mingchu just wanted to explain but Bai Annian covered his mouth, held him down and sat down first, and said: "I have thought about what your mother said during the dinner in the past few days, and she is right, compared to you, my emotional experience may be more complicated, I think it is necessary to explain......
Chen Mingchu, who was held down, got up instead and kissed Bai Annian, who was speaking, his lips were moist and soft, and suddenly made her forget what she was going to say.
"Bai Annian, I don't need your explanation, now as long as you kiss me." The air around her became hot and dry, Chen Mingchu hugged Bai Annian and helped her take off her clothes, and the two kissed passionately.
