Chapter 635: Chapter 334: eting the Parents_2 Chapter 635: Chapter 334: eting the Parents_2 “Leave?

Where would you go during Chinese New Year?” Madam He was anxious, glanced at her husband, “Will you say sothing?

Are you really going to let your daughter walk out in anger?”

“Hmph, better if she leaves.” Father Pei couldn’t back down, forcefully said, “Once she’s gone, don’t bother coming back.

She’s so temperantal at ho, we can’t control her anymore.”

Pei Muchan stood up, grabbed her bag, and was about to walk out the door with Xu Qingyan.

“Wait, wait.” Madam He acted quickly, trotting over to grab her, “Your dad is just like that, don’t take it to heart, sit down, please.”

Pei Muchan stayed silent, leaving Madam He to continue.

“Your elder brother is also coming back, the whole family should et at least once a year.

Stay, at least have a al together before you leave, there’s no hurry.”

Having a al seems to be a headmost affair that can forgive everything for people in Xia Country.

...

After hesitating for a bit, Pei Muchan nodded her head, reluctantly agreed.

“Mm.”

After speaking, she knitted her brows, “This is my boyfriend.

This matter has nothing to do with him, it was my own choice not to co back this year, not because he persuaded .”

Hearing this, Father Pei’s expression on the sofa got even worse, but in the end, he said nothing.

So, Xu Qingyan awkwardly sat down again, next to Pei Muchan.

He wanted to help in the kitchen, but was stopped by Pei Muchan, who signaled him to look at his phone.

Xu Qingyan lowered his head to see a ssage with just two words.

“Don’t go.”

“Mm.”

Although he didn’t know what Pei Muchan ant, he also understood that Pei Muchan wouldn’t say things out of anger, so he started to sip his tea.

The atmosphere in the living room was a bit awkward.

Pei Muchan lowered her head to play with her phone, while Father Pei kept sizing him up.

After a while, his father-in-law asked.

“What do you do for a living?”

“Uh…” Xu Qingyan first glanced at Pei Muchan, seeing no reaction from her, he then said, “I make films, shoot so TV dramas to earn money.”

“Oh, in the film industry.” Father Pei assud a pose, took a sip of tea, “What kind of films do you make?

Are they famous?

Have you won any awards or sothing?”

“Crazy Diamonds, a cody film.” Xu Qingyan felt his smile becoming forced, yet he had to answer, “The movie has just been released not long ago.”

“As for awards, I’ve won the Magnolia Award for Best Screenplay for a TV drama I made.”

Father Pei wasn’t familiar with the entertainnt industry and didn’t know what the Magnolia Award was.

It sounded like so kind of plant, surely it had to be sothing like the Nobel or the Oscars to matter.

“Oh, the Magnolia…”

Pei Muchan, who had been lowering her head playing with her mobile phone, couldn’t take it any longer, she looked up at her rigid father.

“The Magnolia is one of the highest dostic awards for television, and to receive the Magnolia Award as a screenwriter is one in a million, it’s already counted as reaching the industry’s pinnacle.”

After being educated by his daughter, Father Pei’s face imdiately took on an unnatural expression.

“I know all this, no need for you to say.”

Pei Muchan rolled her eyes, thinking to herself that the old man was stubborn as a dead duck.

She didn’t bother with her father anymore, as long as he didn’t harass or belittle Xu Qingyan, she didn’t care about the rest.

Two minutes passed, Father Pei coughed.

“This inco situation…”

Pei Muchan simply replied, “Why ask this, are you afraid that money will corrupt your will?”

Father Pei got irritated by her, simply turned his head and stopped talking.

It wasn’t long before the eldest brother, Pei Zhengnian, arrived with his wife and children.

Pushing the door open and discovering his little sister had returned, there was also a young man sitting on the sofa.

Unlike Pei Muchan, Pei Zhengnian had been arranged by his father since graduating from university.

He first beca a news reporter at the broadcasting station’s news center.

Later starting from the bottom, he fought his way up in the news center, securing a position in the editorial departnt.

Promising and up-and-coming.

“Who might this be…?” Pei Zhengnian approached.

“Hello, hello, I’m Xu Qingyan.” Xu Qingyan greeted Pei Zhengnian adeptly, “This ti I’m here because…”

Compared to Father Pei, Pei Zhengnian was much easier to get along with.

Although their industries were quite different, at least both had sothing to do with TV dramas, which gave them sothing to talk about.

“Oh~!

Those high-rated sitcoms, right?

I’ve watched them too,” Pei Zhengnian couldn’t help but praise, “They’re quite good.”

After chatting for a while, Xu Qingyan felt that Pei Muchan might have been overreacting.

However, after talking for a bit and realizing that Pei Zhengnian seed interested only in making dramas…

He suddenly understood that Pei Muchan must have had her reasons for saying what she did.

Real rejection might not show on the surface; anyway, his elder uncle didn’t seem to have any interest in getting to know him as a person, he was only interested in the dramas he directed.

Either the uncle didn’t care about Pei Muchan’s life events, or he never took this visit seriously at all, just taking it as his little sister ssing around.

Upon further thought, Xu Qingyan felt the latter was more likely.

Pei Zhengnian’s wife had gone into the kitchen to help Madam Pei and Madam He with the chores as soon as she entered the door, leaving only a child, along with three disinterested adults, in the living room.

After an awkward hour and a half, everyone finally sat down at the dinner table.

Father Pei didn’t seem to want to talk.

He coldly fumbled with the remote and turned on the TV drama “My Regint Commander, My Regint,” starting from episode twenty.

It proved he had been watching for a while, probably because he liked it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have turned it on during a al, especially at a ti like this…

During the al, the elder uncle kept talking about the drama production, and Xu Qingyan could only go along with it.

Father Pei occasionally chid in; the atmosphere wasn’t great, but it wasn’t too bad either.

Halfway through the al, Father Pei suddenly said,

“Nowadays, nobody really watches codies anymore.

When you have ti, you should aim to improve and make so aningful dramas.

Look at this ‘My Regint Commander, My Regint’; it’s really good.”

Suddenly, Pei Muchan turned her head and looked at Elder Deng.

“The scriptwriter for this current drama is him.”

At these words, Elder Deng was stunned.

He glanced at the TV screen and then at his cheap nephew-in-law, Xiao Xu.

Holding his bowl, he was at a loss for words and simply froze on the spot, unsure what to say.

“Xiao Xu, you wrote the script for this drama?” Madam He was much more open-minded, smiling as she said, “Your uncle has been enjoying it a lot lately, watched it many tis over.”

“Let’s just eat, why bring up these things!” Father Pei scolded with a stern face.

“Tch.” Madam He pouted.

“Ah, when organizing the Spring Festival Gala, I beca acquainted with a leader,” Xu Qingyan explained, “Then he invited to work on this project, and I was chosen afterward.”

“This drama is quite good, it just hasn’t beco a big hit,” Pei Zhengnian said regretfully.

“It’s okay, I’ve heard it’s already exceeded expectations,” Xu Qingyan said.

Father Pei didn’t want to speak, but still couldn’t help but say,

“The quality is still pretty good.”

After an awkward dinner that felt like a battle, Xu Qingyan felt exhausted.

After dinner, Pei Muchan showed no intention of staying overnight; when Madam He suggested preparing the beds, she outright said,

“No need, we’re staying out.”

“It’s so late, where are you going to stay if not at ho?” Madam He was anxious and glared at her husband, “It’s all your fault, who drives their children out during the New Year!”

Father Pei turned his head away and didn’t speak, his face looking displeased.

“Xiao Xu, try to persuade Xiao Chan, she’ll listen to you,” Madam He pleaded with Xu Qingyan, feeling both anxious and helpless to be dealing with such a father-daughter pair.

Xu Qingyan hesitated, “This…

I can’t decide for her, Madam He.”

Pei Muchan still ended up leading Xu Qingyan away, not looking back as she left.

As night fell, Xu Qingyan drove out of the neighborhood, ready to find a hotel.

“Where to?” Pei Muchan asked.

“A hotel, where else would we sleep at night, on the street?” Xu Qingyan responded as if it was obvious.

“Go to the neighboring community, there’s a place,” Pei Muchan said.

“Ah??” Xu Qingyan was stunned by her move, “So, you actually bought an apartnt in the neighborhood next to your parents?”

“Yeah, it’s regularly cleaned; I don’t like staying in hotels,” Pei Muchan nodded, her hoarding nature undeniably showing; she really liked to accumulate properties.

But Xu Qingyan wasn’t fond of hotels either; they were dirty out of sight, but still dirty.
