Chapter 754 Someone I Like (Xu Hui & An Junfeng)
Zhang Qingyan inquired about Xu Hui from Lin Jiaran, expressing her desire to meet her. Lin Jiaran relayed this to Xu Hui via her mobile phone.
The truly hateful one, Chu Nanxin, was imprisoned. Zhang Qingyan's improved attitude made Lin Jiaran stop pursuing the past against her, and the two completely reconciled.
Lin Jiaran didn't mind, so Xu Hui went along with her idea and agreed to Zhang Qingyan's request to meet. The two arranged to meet at a tea restaurant.
"I'm sorry for what happened before," Zhang Qingyan said, looking at Xu Hui.
"What's past is past, you don't need to apologize."
"Thank you for meeting me today."
"You should thank someone other than me, but your behavior today really surprised me. Since Lin Mumu doesn't intend to hold it against me anymore, I have nothing more to say."
“I have no relationship with An Junfeng. We did not hold any ceremony. The title of fiancée was imposed on me.”
"Weren't you two engaged? How come you're the one who imposed that title on me?"
"An Junfeng and I are not engaged."
"Not engaged?" Xu Hui frowned slightly. She had heard from her brother that An Junfeng was getting engaged, and since then she was afraid to hear any related news. She even told Lin Mumu not to mention anything about An Junfeng to her.
"Don't worry, I won't try to stop you from being together like before. I've explained my relationship with An Junfeng to Aunt Rong, so you can be together without worry."
"I wasn't with An Junfeng." Xu Hui quickly explained, afraid of any misunderstanding.
“Aunt Rong had a kidney transplant two years ago. The doctor said she needs to be observed for a long time and cannot be too emotional. Ever since I took her place, Aunt Rong has demanded that An Junfeng marry me.”
"The reason he tolerated me flaunting my status as his fiancée all these years was simply because he was waiting for Aunt Rong's health to stabilize."
“He knows that you and I didn’t get along before, and maybe that’s why he’s afraid I’ll tell on you. So he always acts indifferent to you when I’m around, just like when we played badminton together before.”
Xu Hui listened to Zhang Qingyan speak slowly without saying anything. She had known all of this from the beginning, even before they had officially met.
An Junfeng was handling his work in his office when Su Yurong appeared and spoke in a commanding tone, "You must find a girlfriend within this year and get married within two years. If you fail to do so, you will be subject to my arrangements."
"What wind have you caught this time?"
"Just because Qingyan doesn't plan to marry you doesn't mean you can stay single for the rest of your life."
An Junfeng leaned back in his chair, his face grim. "Who am I supposed to marry?"
"Who you marry or date is your own choice, but my requirement is that you must get married."
An Junfeng remained unmoved and simply stopped talking.
"I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
"I only accept marriage based on love. It's impossible for me to just marry anyone. I also don't want someone I like to be disliked by you, so I don't plan to get married."
"Do you expect me to agree if you go to see another man?"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in men."
"Junfeng, I'm here today to have a proper talk with you," Su Yurong said in a calm tone.
Su Yurong is in poor health and cannot be affected by emotions. An Junfeng has been very accommodating to her in everything, but she is determined to have Zhang Qingyan marry into the An family, so much so that An Junfeng has been living alone outside in recent years.
"I've talked to you properly before, but you insist on forcing me to marry someone I don't like." An Junfeng tried to keep his voice down, suppressing his anger.
"From now on, I will no longer force you to marry Qingyan, but you must get married as soon as possible."
"If you have no choice, I'll have to arrange a suitable blind date for you."
Upon hearing this, An Junfeng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Su Yurong, saying, "It's impossible for you to force me to marry someone else."
"I've already given you a choice. If you still don't find a girlfriend by now, don't blame me for forcing you to marry someone else later."
"I don't need you to choose for me, I already have someone I like."
"You have someone you like?" Su Yurong's expression paused, then she asked urgently, "A man or a woman?"
"female."
Su Yurong breathed a sigh of relief. She had previously decided on An Junfeng's marriage partner, but she had already rejected the person she had in mind, so she couldn't force him. As long as An Junfeng didn't like men, she could accept it.
"Since you have someone you like, bring them home so your dad and I can meet them. If it's a good match, it would be best if you got married as soon as possible."
"The right standard is simply that I like her; I don't need you to define it."
"We just want to see what the person you like looks like, is that too much to ask?"
"I have no plans to get married at the moment, so there's no need to put meeting up on the agenda for now."
"Where is the girl from? How old is she? What does she look like?"
"It's my wedding, and I'll be living with her from now on. I'm happy with it, so you have no reason to complain."
"I was just asking, how is that being picky?" Su Yurong's true thought was to meet the girl in person and confirm whether such a girl really existed.
But An Junfeng didn't necessarily think so. Over the years, for Zhang Qingyan alone, their mother-son relationship had become strained, and he only felt that Su Yurong was looking for reasons to be picky.
"I think that since you are dating someone and have plans to get married, we should meet each other and get to know each other."
Someone came to report on their work, noticed Su Yurong in the office, peeked inside, and then left, which was captured by An Junfeng.
"Let's talk about meeting later, I'm busy with work."
As night falls, a lively birthday party is being held at the International Building tonight.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, please come in." Ding Mingkun, the president of Ancheng Chamber of Commerce, was the first to greet them. He was also the protagonist of today's birthday banquet.
Standing next to Chairman Ding, Ding Yiyi waved to greet Lin Jiaran.
Xu Fang and Xu Hui arrived first. When they saw Lin Jia Ran arrive, Xu Hui left her brother behind. The reason she came to this event with Xu Fang was firstly because of Ding Yi Yi, and secondly because of Xu Fang's superpowers.
She dressed very casually today, in a light-colored spaghetti strap dress, with her long hair flowing down to her waist and light makeup.
Xu Hui doesn't attend such occasions often. She has always liked to be unrestrained, and her family doesn't impose many restrictions on her or follow her opinions. Xu Hui's face is relatively unfamiliar.
In the past two years, Lin Jiaran has often attended banquets with Lu Jingshen, and she has gained a place in the circle of wealthy wives. Her appearance has attracted people who know her to greet her warmly.
Anyone who greets Xu Hui, who is always by her side, will inevitably ask who she is.
Several wealthy women around asked Xu Hui about her identity again.
Lin Jiaran introduced generously, "This is my good friend, and also the daughter of the Xu family."
She explained everything clearly to everyone, saying that Xu Hui was her best friend and that they had grown up together since childhood. These words immediately drew Xu Hui into their circle of wealthy women.
