Jin Zhuxuan still didn’t want to make things difficult for him, wanting to close the car door, but Jiang Chen held it open.
"Oppa?"
The elderly lady took two steps forward, already appraising the car.
Jiang Chen stepped out of the car, standing beside Jin Zhuxuan, although without ntioning how well-matched they looked, at least it wouldn’t seem like a beautiful flower on a cow dung.
"Oppa, that’s my grandmother."
Jin Zhuxuan whispered, moved and grateful, taking the initiative to get out of the car, demonstrating her upbringing and respect for her family.
"Zhuxuan, who is this?"
The elderly lady, maintaining a certain distance, continued to appraise him under the not-so-bright conditions from top to bottom.
"Grandma, this is my... friend from Shen Zhou."
For so reason, the words changed at the last mont, and Jin Zhuxuan chose not to reveal the truth.
Indeed.
If they found out it was her boss, the family would be much more restrained.
"Oh, it’s our Zhuxuan’s friend, you must have co to bring her ho, co in and sit."
The elderly lady said kindly and warmly.
But Jiang Chen certainly couldn’t understand, relying on Jin Zhuxuan to translate.
"Grandma invites you to our ho..."
Jin Zhuxuan’s voice was weak and a bit embarrassed.
"Tell your grandma, not to disturb."
Jin Zhuxuan truthfully translated.
But the two underestimated the old lady’s enthusiasm, she waddled over, insisting on the invitation, looking like she wouldn’t let the car leave without an agreent.
Jin Zhuxuan was at a loss.
Unable to refuse the kindness, Jiang Chen displayed the politeness of Shen Zhou people and accepted the elderly’s invitation.
"Oppa, I’m sorry."
Jin Zhuxuan said awkwardly.
"It’s alright."
"Zhuxuan’s friend brought her ho."
Opening the door, the elderly lady said loudly.
Inside.
The couple who were watching TV imdiately turned their heads.
"Co in quickly."
The elderly lady bead with a smile, welcoming Jiang Chen.
The couple looked surprised, exchanged glances, and then simultaneously focused on the young man entering, mimicking the elderly’s actions of top-to-bottom observation.
Despite not ntioning his exceptional handsoness, Boss Jiang certainly appeared dignified; moreover, regardless of gender, the inner presence was truly important.
The first impression definitely passed, not to ntion this middle-aged couple should be Jin Zhuxuan’s parents, the couple didn’t show any rudeness, stopped watching TV, and got up successively.
"Zhuxuan’s friend, welco."
Jin’s father greeted with a laugh.
"Dad, oppa is from Shen Zhou, he doesn’t understand Korean."
Jin’s father was montarily stunned, then resud his usual deanor, gesturing, "No problem, let your friend sit down. Jung-Hwa, get so snacks."
Although the daughter is a popular idol, the Jin Family doesn’t boast about it, they are polite and friendly.
Though Korea is an abstract country, where bizarre incidents happen frequently, lacking sportsmanship, market monopoly by chaebols, cultural theft... not everyone is abnormal.
The language barrier doesn’t matter much because Jin Zhuxuan serves as a translator, and body language is also a form of language; although he can’t understand the words, he can see the Jin Family’s actions and expressions.
"Grandma, let serve."
Initially, Jin Zhuxuan sat with them, then saw her grandmother serving water.
Jiang Chen managed the situation with ease and comfort, but it was tiring for Jin Zhuxuan, serving tea, translating, and carefully navigating to prevent misunderstandings.
Even more exhausting than being a trainee.
The elderly lady kept nodding, her gaze fixed on Jiang Chen, never shifting away.
After more than ten minutes, Jiang Chen decided it was ti to leave.
The Jin Family, regardless of knowing he was the daughter’s boss, gave him the highest hospitality.
The elders only escorted him to the gate, while Jin Zhuxuan accompanied him to the car.
"Co inside."
As the daughter returned, Jin’s father’s smile quickly diminished, turning back to the house.
"Genesis G90, your friend, he’s not ordinary, is he?"
The family sat back down.
Though the topic ntioned earlier, there wasn’t in-depth conversation, given that Jin Zhuxuan controlled the dialogue, deciding what information each side knew.
Earlier, she only disclosed broadly that soone was in business.
"Oppa is my boss."
After Jiang Chen left, Jin Zhuxuan chose to be honest.
The couple was startled.
Being Korean, the strict hierarchy is deeply ingrained in their minds.
"Is he the president of your company? So young?!"
"Hm."
"Why didn’t you say anything earlier?"
"I was worried you’d feel pressured."
"..."
"Zhu Xuan, your boss is coming, you should have said sothing earlier. Isn’t this neglectful?"
Jin Mother said worriedly.
"There’s no need for you to be nervous; he’s not a petty person."
The elder spoke leisurely, seemingly unfazed, murmuring, "Truly young and capable."
"Mom, you don’t understand. If he feels slighted, Zhu Xuan will face difficulties later."
"Grandma is right, Mom. Oppa isn’t like that. Plus, you haven’t neglected him, haven’t you served the most expensive tea? I think it’s fine. Oppa doesn’t like overly formal occasions."
Jin Father looked at his daughter without speaking.
"You should call him boss."
Jin Mother corrected upon realizing.
"Oppa agreed."
Jin Zhu Xuan explained.
No matter how oblivious, as parents, they should have noticed the signs.
Jin Mother furrowed her brow.
So matters are not suitable for the father to handle, nor can they be left to the elder; so, she has to take charge.
"Co with ."
She wanted to call her daughter away for a private talk.
In Korea, although small, they lived most of their lives aware of certain things in the entertainnt circle.
There’s not much difference across the world.
"I like Oppa."
Jin Zhu Xuan didn’t move, seemingly understanding what her mother was thinking, taking the initiative.
Truly forthright and open.
The couple fell into imdiate silence.
"Alright, alright, my little Zhu Xuan finally has soone she likes."
Unharmonious laughter rang out, and the elder looked at her granddaughter with full appreciation, enjoying the show regardless of the stakes.
"Grandma supports you."
As a daughter-in-law, Jin Mother could only nudge her husband’s arm.
"Mom, don’t interfere. He’s a boss, the gap in social status is huge, this child is just being foolish."
Never daring to contradict the elderly mother before, Jin Father stood up bravely this ti; he’s a son, but also a father who must take responsibility for his daughter’s future.
"Does a big gap an not even having the right to like soone?"
Jin Zhu Xuan argued.
"Aren’t you afraid of being hurt all over in the future?"
Jin Father succinctly questioned.
Even though Korea is a developed country, so concepts are very traditional.
Like matching social status.
The daughter is a celebrity, but compared to a capitalist, she’s becoming Cinderella.
And what is Cinderella?
It’s a fairy tale.
It’s not a blow, Jin Father is protecting his daughter.
"I’m not afraid. And I won’t be."
Jin Zhu Xuan remained calm and clear-headed; she understood her father’s aning.
The father was rely an outsider, she, standing at the towering height of this circle’s pyramid, understood these things better.
"I just like Oppa, it’s just pure affection. I’m not expecting any outco. Liking soone is already a very happy thing."
The air turned silent.
The elders at this mont roughly understood the aning behind the girl’s statent of "happiness" from last night.
"Zhu Xuan, listen to Mom, let go of your thoughts; you have many other choices."
Jin Zhu Xuan shook her head.
"Mom, I truly haven’t thought of anything else; being able to follow such a wonderful person like Oppa, I feel incredibly fortunate."
"Grandma supports you."
The elder spoke, eyes clouded yet filled with love and encouragent for her granddaughter.
"Grandma believes little Zhu Xuan knows what she’s doing."
"Mom..."
Jin Father called out once.
"This often you need to raise your voice."
The elder, white-haired but ticulously tidy, reprimanded.
"Has my Zhu Xuan done anything wrong? Why do you, as parents, always want to make your children feel sad? Liking sothing is inherently beautiful. My Zhu Xuan, courageously like whom you wish!"
