The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Chapter 232: Not Understanding Romance



Mr. Wang was called back by his own father with a single phone call.

He's been busy lately.

"Dad, what's up? I'm going crazy with work. Can't you let me catch my breath? Spare your son, please."

He collapsed on the sofa like a pile of mud.

Mrs. Wang gave him a harsh kick.

"Look at you! Your dad called you back because there's something urgent. Otherwise, why would he call you back in the dead of night?"

Mr. Wang rubbed his ankle and mumbled.

"I mustn't be your biological child!"

"Your Uncle Song called. He wants you to help with something, and it's related to Jiang Xiaoxiao. Now you tell me, isn't it worth calling you back?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, seeing her son working so hard lately, she also felt a pang of heartache.

But there's no choice; Old Song called, and judging by what he said, this troublesome Director Jin harassing Jiang Xiaoxiao is no small matter. If they really write Jiang Xiaoxiao into the list for supporting the frontier…

Even if they straighten things out, the list will be hard to amend.

If it comes to it, and they really send such a good child to that place, they wouldn't be able to live with themselves.

"What's going on that actually involves Jiang Xiaoxiao?"

As soon as Mr. Wang heard this, he straightened up immediately, full of energy.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be secretly surprised by her son's demeanor; could it be her son has special feelings for Jiang Xiaoxiao?

If her son really likes Jiang Xiaoxiao, it wouldn't be a bad match.

Her son is indeed a bit older; there's at least an 11-year age difference between Jiang Xiaoxiao and her son.

But it's good for a man to be older, more caring towards his wife.

Besides, her son isn't that bad.

He doesn't smoke or drink, and he takes his work seriously, though he can be a bit carefree, he has principles and is reliable.

Their family is well-off.

Haven't you seen how many neighbors, relatives, and friends are eager to introduce a partner to him?

If it weren't for her son's stubborn refusal every time, they'd have been grandparents by now.

Although Jiang Xiaoxiao's family seems to be average, just from a worker's background.

But to a family like theirs, the family background doesn't matter much. A good family background is just icing on the cake; a less favorable background is of no consequence to them.

Besides, even though I've only met Jiang Xiaoxiao once, she was gracious and poised in her interactions.

Even though facing people like us who have been leaders, she didn't show a shred of nervousness or stage fright.

And the girl is indeed attractive.

Fair skin, beautiful features, elegant and refined; with that kind of looks, any children she has won't be shabby.

All things considered, Mrs. Wang was particularly pleased with Jiang Xiaoxiao. Naturally, if Jiang Xiaoxiao agrees to marry her son, they would certainly figure out how to get Jiang Xiaoxiao transferred to the county.

They can't let the couple live in separate places, can they?

Mr. Wang waved his hand in front of his mother's face a couple of times, puzzling over why she appeared dazed, staring blankly at him as if lost in thought.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you daydreaming?"

Mrs. Wang snapped back to reality and detailed the situation Old Song had informed her about.

Writing Jiang Xiaoxiao into the list supporting the frontier isn't impossible, but forcing others is inappropriate. After all, those spots are decided by the captain of the production team. Where does direct assignment from above come from? That's blatant retaliation.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang pondered for a moment, as he knew Director Jin's brother-in-law.

In essence, Director Jin ascended through looting and pillaging. If not for the unique circumstances of those times, how could such a person squeeze into the county leadership ranks?

He's long heard that Director Jin isn't a good person; the county received several complaint letters accusing him of taking bribes, abusing power, and exploiting the young pioneers.

The leadership initially wanted to investigate him since his position wasn't officially secured, and besides, how is he considered a leader? He's just a temporary supervisor within the newly established young pioneers' office, backed by his brother-in-law connections. Many agreed to him taking the so-called directorship reluctantly.

Once all young pioneers finally return to the cities, this young pioneers office surely won't exist.

The county knows well that policies have changed; these young pioneers will return in batches according to demand, and some will stay for support and development.

But eventually, the young pioneers won't exist. Everyone understands the underlying meaning of this policy, indicating the young pioneers' office is temporary.

That's why nobody competes for Director Jin's position—it's not worthwhile.

Yet, nobody expected Director Jin to dare wield power here and threaten Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Mr. Wang nodded, "Alright, Mom and Dad, I understand this matter. Please let Old Sir Song know; I'll take care of it. We're not pulling strings or relying on connections.

This kind of unethical behavior must be curbed; otherwise, who knows what might happen in the future. Rest assured, I'll get someone to investigate this thoroughly tomorrow. We must strictly punish anyone who tarnishes the integrity of our leadership, not letting a single blemish spoil the whole pot."

After finishing his words, Mr. Wang got up and left, busy as ever with county matters.

"Son, if you have a girl you like, bring her home! Your dad and I aren't picky about social status. As long as you like her, no matter her background or identity, we won't mind.

We just want you to get married soon, build a family and career, and let us hold a grandchild."

Mrs. Wang hinted, trailing behind her son.

Mr. Wang felt his mom's words carried hidden meanings.

"Mom, you're not planning to set me up on a date again, are you? I already told you, I'm really busy with work, too busy actually, why push me into marriage now? Besides, look at the ones you've introduced to me?

Either they get so shy upon meeting me they can't talk, or they're wrapped up in dancing and dressing up all day. You tell me, if I bring such a wife home, can the house be peaceful?

You, Mom, just spare me, let me have some peace, you too. One day I'll meet the right one; don't worry, even if you don't urge me, I'll be rushing to marry."

Having said that, Mr. Wang went straight out the door and drove away.

Watching her son like this, Mrs. Wang felt a pang of disappointment; it seems her son has no interest in Jiang Xiaoxiao at all.

Oh, what will become of my son if he goes on like this? How can he possibly find a wife, being so unromantic!
