A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Can't handle it?"

Lu Yang paused slightly, then said, "You can't handle it, yet you're sending him?"

Li Xixue pushed her chair back a little, leaned against the backrest, rested her arm on the armrest, and spoke softly.

"You should have noticed that my dad never changes his mind once he makes a decision."

"so……?"

"I never expected him to handle it."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang finally realized that from the beginning, she had never intended for Li Xiaochen to actually persuade Li Guoqing to change his mind. She just wanted Li Xiaochen to experience how difficult it was to speak up in front of the old man.

To put it bluntly, it's about sending Li Xiaochen to complete an impossible task.

"You did this on purpose?" Lu Yang said.

Li Xixue did not deny it: "This is the price he pays for not learning his lesson."

Lu Yang looked at her matter-of-fact expression and moved his lips twice.

So, does that mean that both of the choices given to Li Xiaochen from the beginning were dead ends?

You're a devil.

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "If he fails to complete it, how do you plan to punish him?"

"We'll see."

Li Xixue waved her hand and said sincerely.

indeed.

At this point, punishing Li Xiaochen will be of no use.

And the main point now is...

The two of them regained their composure, finished dealing with miscellaneous tasks, and got down to business.

Lu Yang sat down opposite her.

Next, it was their turn to have a headache.

Both sets of parents will meet this weekend...

To be honest, he had thought about this before.

But even though I thought about it, when it came to actually doing it, I still felt a little nervous.

It's not that I'm afraid of meeting you, it's that I'm afraid something will happen.

He knows his parents' personalities all too well.

My dad is a retired soldier. He never speaks politely; whenever he eats with anyone, he always raises his glass and drinks first as a sign of respect.

My mom is a housewife with little education. She has a straightforward personality and doesn't watch her mouth; she says whatever comes to mind.

If this couple were to sit at the same table...

Lu Yangguang felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Xixue noticed that Lu Yang looked somewhat worried and spoke up.

"I'm thinking about how to tell my parents."

Lu Yang scratched his head and replied.

Li Xixue's fingers paused on the armrest for a moment.

She didn't say anything.

Actually, she was thinking about this too.

Although Lu Yang had taken her home before, it was a semi-formal meeting. They had a simple home-cooked meal and then he left, though they both left a good impression on each other.

But this time is different.

This time, both sets of parents sat together.

The nature of them is completely different.

In addition to that, there is another problem.

How should they begin?

It's a bit sudden to say it directly.

Moreover, the difficulty for Lu Yang is that his parents only know that Li Xixue is his girlfriend, works at the same company, is eight years older than him, and is his boss.

In reality, Li Xixue is the president of a listed company group.

If the two sets of parents meet this time, his mother will definitely find out the truth.

That scene...

Lu Yangguang went through the thought in his mind and then felt a headache coming on.

He knew his mother's personality all too well. When they met before, he thought Li Xixue was a company manager, and she spoke so naturally.

But what if you found out the other person was a female CEO with a net worth of tens of billions?

His mother was so nervous that she even held the chopsticks upside down.

And his father.

The old man was calm and composed, not very talkative, but he would definitely ask the right questions.

I could already tell last time that Li Xixue wasn't like a girl from an ordinary family.

This time, they really ran into Li Xixue's father, a retired veteran versus a business tycoon.

They could be sniping each other right at the middle of the gate in a heartbeat.

When do you plan to tell your parents?

Li Xixue pursed her lips and spoke first.

"Let's do it tonight, after all, it'll be the weekend in a few days," Lu Yang said.

"Should we talk on the phone or go back to talk?" Li Xixue asked again.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not good to talk about this over the phone; we have to do it in person."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement.

indeed.

It's better to discuss such important life events face-to-face.

"Then you'll go back tomorrow?"

"OK."

After saying those two words.

The two fell into a brief silence again.

Lu Yang rubbed his hands together.

He was thinking about another problem.

When they meet, should Li Xixue's true identity be revealed?

After all, so far, her parents only knew that Li Xixue was a girl who worked as a manager in a company, and that her family ran a "tiny little business".

Just then, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

Caller ID: Mom.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

Speak of the devil and he appears?

No, that description isn't quite right.

He immediately answered the phone.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Xiaoyang, are you busy right now?"

Zhou Huifang's voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone was similar to usual, but there was something slightly different about it.

"Not too busy, what's up?"

"Your grandma's birthday is tomorrow, you forgot, didn't you?"

Lu Yang paused for a moment.

Grandma's birthday.

To be honest, he really did forget.

There's been so much going on lately that this day just slipped through my mind.

"I haven't forgotten."

Lu Yang stubbornly retorted.

Zhou Huifang snorted on the other end, clearly not believing it.

"Stop arguing with your mom. When you come back tomorrow, your grandma says she misses you. Oh, by the way, grandma knows about you and Xiaoxue, and she even wants you to bring Xiaoxue with you."

Should we bring Xiaoxue along?

Lu Yang held his phone, stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that the timing was a bit too coincidental.

Just after Li Guoqing said he wanted to meet this weekend, his mother called.

That's why he was worried about not having a chance to bring this up.

"Grandma knows about this too?"

"Of course, your grandma is concerned about this now."

"So what are the plans for tomorrow?" Lu Yang asked again.

"Your grandma doesn't like going out, so your dad and I are planning to have a few tables set up at our old home."

As Zhou Huifang spoke, she added, "Your uncle's family is also back, along with several of your cousins; there are quite a few people."

"But the main thing is that you and Xiaoxue have to come. Your grandma was so happy when she heard that you were dating someone. She kept talking about meeting him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang thought for a moment.

It was Grandma's birthday, and the whole family was there, so it was a good time to lay everything out on the table.

That saves me the trouble of looking for opportunities separately.

"Mom, what time tomorrow?"

"You can arrive at 10 a.m., your dad has already gone to the wholesale market to buy groceries."

As Zhou Huifang spoke, she added, "Oh, by the way, tell Xiaoxue that your grandma loves sweets, and ask her to bring over a cake. Nothing else is needed. It'll make her happy."

"……OK."

Done.

I hung up the phone.

Lu Yang put his phone in his pocket and looked at Li Xixue.

"Whose call was it?" Li Xixue asked.

"My mom."

"What did you say?"

She said, "It's my grandma's birthday tomorrow, and she wants me to go back to my hometown. I'll take you with me."
