Chapter 797: 391. One Family’s Journey Turns into Two (Thanks to Lord Phantom Feather for Silver Alliance Hierarch! 38/40)_2
"Hmm, how are Juhyun's parents?"
"Quite easy to get along with."
"Okay, we'll let you know when we get on the plane tomorrow."
"Alright."
"Anything else you want to tell your mom?"
"No, that's all. You and my mom should get some rest early."
"Mhm."
After ending the call, Liu Xin'an let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at Bae Juhyun, who was also looking at him.
"Uncle's call?"
"Yes, my parents should arrive at the airport by around five in the afternoon tomorrow..."
"Ah! Then let's go to pick them up together." Bae Juhyun nodded vigorously, thinking that they would still need to consider renting a car after arriving in Jeju Island; otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go anywhere.
Talking about this, Liu Xin'an awkwardly scratched his face, "They have someone to pick them up; we don't need to go."
"What are you talking about? Of course, we have to go pick them up. We'll just rent a car, it's the same." Bae Juhyun glared at Liu Xin'an, wondering why her man sometimes said things that seemed so emotionally unintelligent. This wasn't like the Liu Xin'an she knew.
"It's not... My dad is coming under the pretext of an inspection, so there are some procedures to follow, and the consulate in Jeju will also get notified. They are responsible for the transportation…" Liu Xin'an explained the situation with an embarrassed face.
Bae Juhyun and Bae Jinhee were both stunned after hearing this.
Bae Juhyun was still okay, but Bae Jinhee was totally flabbergasted.
Did that mean Liu Xin'an's father is a really important person?
"Why does he have to come under the pretext of an inspection? Can't he just buy a plane ticket and fly here?"
"Mhm... That won't work."
"Why not?"
Liu Xin'an spread his hands; he couldn't explain either; it was too complex. In short, for someone at his father's level, it was very troublesome to travel abroad under the guise of personal affairs. And even if it were reported, it would most likely not get approved.
"My dad suggested we just meet directly at the hotel. They should be able to come with my mom around eight or nine in the evening."
"Uh... then how do I explain this to my parents?"
Bae Juhyun began to understand the situation, but the ensuing problems made her head hurt.
Her parents were worried that Liu Xin'an might come from a preposterous family background, and to this point, her family had already started to be careful.
Her family didn't lack money; there was no need to take pride in "marrying into a wealthy family" as something to boast about. Even if Bae Juhyun couldn't continue being a celebrity in the future, the family's fried chicken shop could still provide her with a carefree life; there was no need to marry into a wealthy family…
The best resolution at this time was to let Liu Zhengjiang and Park Jinsuk come to meet her parents. Bae Juhyun profoundly felt the kind and affable demeanor of Liu Xin'an's parents.
As long as the parents from both sides met each other, Bae Juhyun believed that all the concerns her parents had would be resolved.
But now, they hadn't even met yet...
"Inspection," "consulate," "transportation"...
Which of these words are used for ordinary people!
Hearing his girlfriend's voice of despair, Liu Xin'an, as a boyfriend, indifferently spread his hands.
"I don't know either."
"Argh..."
On the side, Bae Jinhee crossed her arms and thought it over; she was almost clear about the current situation.
"So, does it mean that Xin'an's family background is really that frightening?"
"You should ask him. I'm not very clear on it either."
Bae Juhyun shook her head, similarly turning to look at Liu Xin'an.
Being stared at with such eyes by the sisters, Liu Xin'an didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's hard to explain. There's nothing really comparable in your country…" Liu Xin'an pondered and finally offered an analogous answer, "You could roughly equate it to the level of the mayor of your Daegu city?"
"..." Bae Jinhee was stunned.
"I don't believe it!" That was Bae Juhyun's reply. It's no wonder she didn't believe it; after all, she had seen the amiable demeanor of their Daegu mayor in Busan.
If Liu Zhengjiang was similar to Mayor Kwon… then there was no reason for Mayor Kwon to behave so humbly!
Hmm... in a sense, Liu Xin'an wasn't exactly lying.
It's just that the "city" he was talking about is more often than not his own country's "city."
The scale might be just "a teeny bit" bigger than Daegu.
...
In the end, it was Bae Juhyun who informed her parents about the situation.
Liu Xin'an genuinely didn't know how to explain, so they planned to have Bae Juhyun disguise the truth with a bit of humor.
As for the method Bae Juhyun chose...
"Uncle and Aunt will arrive around eight o'clock at the airport, so Xin'an and I will just go to pick them up, and then we can meet directly at the hotel!"
That should dispel the idea of her parents also going to the airport to receive them!
"We should go together, after all, I was the one who invited them."
"Oh, no need. You have to give his parents some time to sort things out. They've just got off the plane. If you suddenly show up, how is that supposed to work!"
It had to be said, Bae Juhyun's reasoning was sound.
Bae's father thought about it, and it did seem to make sense.
"That's true. Then after you pick up his parents, come straight to the restaurant."
"Alright, shall we agree on that?"
"Mhm."
Bae Juhyun held her breath and only after she left her parents' room, she exhaled deeply in relief.
Then, she quickly headed toward her boyfriend's room.
At that moment, Liu Xin'an was sitting at the desk on his computer.
It looked like he was uploading videos taken during their evening stroll to the computer.
Bae Juhyun didn't understand Chinese, but she understood the progress bar.
