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

"Xiaoxue, I remember you work in the snowy region, right?"

The table fell silent for a moment after Zhou Huifang said those words.

Li Xixue stopped picking up food with her chopsticks.

Lu Yang's chopsticks paused for a moment.

The aunt had just taken a sip of soup when she heard this, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Xiaoxue, you also work in the snowy region?"

She put down her spoon, looked at Li Xixue, and was slightly incredulous.

You should know that Xueyu Group is a leading enterprise in the city, and its employment rate is frighteningly low. Even if your son graduated from Tsinghua or Peking University, it is not guaranteed that he will get in.

Li Xixue did not answer immediately.

She glanced at Lu Yang immediately.

Lu Yang was also looking at her.

Their eyes met for a mere fraction of a second.

Li Xixue nodded and said, "Yes, in the Snow Region."

That cannot be denied.

After all, Zhou Huifang had met her before.

Auntie's eyes lit up immediately: "Doesn't that mean I'll be Xiaohui's colleague from now on?"

Then she followed up with, "So, Xiaoxue, what position do you hold in the snowy region?"

This question has actually already been asked once.

But at that time, the snowy region wasn't involved.

Now that we know the specific company, the nature of the situation changes.

Li Xixue thought for a moment: "Just a regular management position."

This was the vaguest answer she could give.

After all, Lu Yang had told her before that she should try not to exaggerate her status.

The auntie said "oh," but clearly had no intention of letting it go so easily.

"Management? What level is that? Manager?"

Li Xixue gripped her chopsticks and slightly tightened her grip.

Lu Yang nudged her foot under the table.

Upon receiving the signal, Li Xixue glared at him, then quickly replied, "I'd say lower-middle class."

"Even the lower-middle level is quite impressive," the aunt nodded. "In a big company like Snowfield, your management position must earn at least several hundred thousand a year, right?"

"……good."

Li Xixue replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle and the youngest uncle exclaimed in admiration, "Young lady, you're amazing! You earn hundreds of thousands a year at such a young age."

"With some hard work, wouldn't I be able to earn a million a year?"

"Haha, young lady, let me toast you!"

With that, the uncle picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp: "May you earn a million a year from now on!"

The uncle also raised a glass: "Uncle, I wish you a million-dollar annual income soon!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Li Xixue: "..."

She gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

To be honest, this was the most insulting thing she had ever heard in her life.

As for Lu Yang, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Although it was meant as a congratulatory message, it was addressed to the wrong person.

Auntie was still talking enthusiastically.

"Xiaoxue, since you're working in the snowy region, you'll have to take good care of my Xiaohui when he goes in."

Li Xixue held the bowl, took a small sip of rice, and nodded: "Okay."

She only replied with one word.

The aunt's smile widened, and she turned to Zhang Xiulan to talk about how many scholarships her son had received at school, his GPA, and how his graduation thesis had been praised by his advisor.

Lu Yang lowered his head to eat his rice, listening to his aunt's words while glancing at Li Xixue out of the corner of his eye.

Li Xixue's face was expressionless; she just kept her head down and ate.

But Lu Yang knew what she was thinking.

The aunt thought Li Xixue was just an ordinary manager at Xueyu, and eagerly asked her to take care of her son.

What if she knew that the girl sitting across from her wearing a 198-yuan knit sweater was the owner of the Snowland Group himself?

Lu Yang dared not think about it.

"Xiaoxue, which department do you manage in the Snow Region?"

Auntie asked another question.

Li Xixue moved her chopsticks slightly.

This question is harder to answer than the previous ones.

What could she say?

Saying you're in the CEO's office?

The next question should be whether she works as the CEO's secretary.

Lu Yang coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "Auntie, this braised pork is delicious, who made it?"

"Your mother made it, why even ask?" His aunt rolled her eyes at him.

Zhou Huifang smiled and put another piece of food on Li Xixue's plate.

Li Xixue's bowl was already overflowing, and she looked at Lu Yang with some embarrassment.

Lu Yang picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of braised pork from her bowl.

Li Xixue lowered her head, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak.

Towards the end of the meal, the conversation started to veer in a different direction.

The conversation at the dinner table shifted from Xiao Hui's job interview to how much vegetable prices had risen recently, and then to the story of Old Wang's wife next door having an affair.

Lu Yang buried his head in his rice, his ears constantly perked up.

He was waiting for the right opportunity.

His mother brought up the idea of ​​both sets of parents meeting in the kitchen just now, which means that his parents' attitude is fine.

All that's missing now is an opportunity to open the door.

"Oh, right."

Zhou Huifang put down her chopsticks. "Xiaoyang, you've been dating Xiaoxue for so long, have you met her family yet?"

coming.

Lu Yang quickly put down his chopsticks.

"I've seen it."

Zhou Huifang responded with an "Oh," and asked, "When did this happen?"

"I've been there once before."

"What was her parents' attitude?"

"..."

Lu Yang scratched his head.

The next moment, Li Xixue answered for him: "I'm quite satisfied."

Zhou Huifang nodded, her expression relaxing somewhat.

Okay, okay, as long as you're satisfied.

She was terrified that the other party's parents would be dissatisfied.

Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The old lady was slowly sipping her soup in the main seat when she heard this and slightly raised her eyelids.

Although she didn't say it, she felt the same way as Zhou Huifang.

Zhang Xiulan, who was eating sunflower seeds nearby, chimed in, "Since their parents are satisfied, shouldn't we show our appreciation too?"

Auntie chimed in, "Yes, it would be proper for the two families to have a formal meeting."

The topic just rolled to this point on its own.

Lu Yang and Li Xixue exchanged a glance.

To be honest, this topic came up faster than I expected.

He was still figuring out how to bring it up, but the two aunties paved the way for him.

These two played their support roles quite well.

Zhou Huifang glanced at Lu Jianguo.

Lu Jianguo was drinking when he heard this. He paused for a moment, then hummed in response.

That one sound signified his agreement.

"It's time we met."

Zhou Huifang nodded, then turned to look at Lu Yang: "What do you think?"

Lu Yang did not answer immediately.

Li Guoqing has already made a decision on this matter, and it will be done this weekend.

Now that his mother brought it up herself, it's a perfect opportunity to back down.

But the problem is, how do you say it?

Li Xixue was holding a bowl beside him, her eyes constantly glancing at Lu Yang.

She was also waiting for Lu Yang to speak.

And Lu Yang... was also waiting for her to speak.

They looked at each other, both waiting in tacit agreement for the other to speak.

until--

next moment.

Suddenly, Li Xixue's foot, which was under the table, stomped heavily on Lu Yang's toes.
