After the Republic of China

Chapter 1062 Shao Xiuxue's Thoughts
Shao Xiuxue's persistence brought silence to the room.

Bai Da's eyes sparkled after hearing his niece's explanation.

But he knew that his niece had some friends in Peking who came from good families, both men and women.

Therefore, he was quite keen on his niece being like this.

No one knew which wealthy and noble ladies and heroes he had in mind, but he said directly and straightforwardly, "Since we are old friends, we really shouldn't break the appointment."

After hearing this, Shao Xiuxue's eyes lit up. She knew that if her uncle agreed to the relationship, he would definitely give his full support.

really.

"By the way, do you have enough money?" Since Bai Da wanted his niece to continue dating those noble ladies and gentlemen, he was naturally willing to invest.

His attitude changed so quickly that Shao Xiuxue hesitated, "Master Liu Sheng, don't you have anything to say?"

Shao Xiuxue's personality determines that she habitually uses tricks on others.

Bai Da happened to have something to hide, but he was really happy with his niece's concern.

In fact, Bai Da had no intention of taking his niece to the dance, but it was good for the child to know that she was afraid.

So, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I'll explain it later, don't worry."

Seeing her uncle frown, Shao Xiuxue was too scared to say anything to comfort him, and nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll come back early today to accompany my uncle."

Bai Da knew that Master Liu Sheng was not particularly concerned about his niece, so he was naturally happy to go along with it.

He said with a smile: "Okay, go on the date. If there is a dance later, I will take you there."

Shao Xiuxue was very happy to hear this, and she hugged her uncle's arm, "Thank you, uncle. I'll bring you a gift later."

"You girl." Bai Da had no daughter, so he was very satisfied to see his niece being close to him.

After the matter was settled, Shao Xiuxue refused her uncle's escort and set out immediately to keep the appointment.

At this moment, Yan Quan was no longer walking on the road, but waiting in the cafe.

The people hadn't arrived yet, and he was drinking his coffee anxiously, not realizing that someone was staring at him at the table not far from him.

Fortunately, there was a car to pick her up, so Shao Xiuxue didn't arrive too late.

Yan Quan saw from afar that the lover he had been waiting for had arrived, and immediately stood up to greet him with a gentle face.

Although Shao Xiuxue was not very optimistic about Yan Quan, she enjoyed his thoughtfulness and tenderness. Seeing how attentive he was, she felt very happy and did not regret not going to the dance.

"Have I kept you waiting for a long time?" Shao Xiuxue took Yan Quan's hand and put down her small bag. "When I was about to leave, my uncle saw me. He wanted me to go to the dance, but I turned him down."

She said this in a tender voice, which made Yan Quan feel warm inside.

Yan Quan pulled up a chair, watched her sit down, and pushed the pastries and coffee he had ordered over to her. "Are you hungry? Have something to drink before we talk."

Shao Xiuxue enjoyed his thoughtfulness, but still regretted not being able to attend the dance, so she took the opportunity to ask for favors, "Brother Quan, I heard from my uncle that today's dance is quite high-end."

Yan Quan came from a good family background and had been to all kinds of dances.

However, he was still quite happy that his sweetheart postponed the dance for him.

Then, he continued the conversation, "There are many foreigners in Shanghai, and the dances are more Western-style. If there is a chance, I will take you to participate."

When Shao Xiuxue heard this, she quickly asked, "Brother Quan also knows someone in Shanghai?"

This was a bit funny, and Yan Quan said proudly: "I come to Shanghai often, where I have many friends and relatives, and I often attend dances." Shao Xiuxue knew that the Yan family still had some prominent relatives, and some of her thoughts were eased.

Seeing his beloved's eyes sparkling, Yan Quan was even happier. "Now that I'm in the Ministry of Commerce, I can attend more business dances and salons."

Shao Xiuxue was a little annoyed after hearing this. "My uncle said that the people attending the dance today are all well-known figures in the Shanghai business community. It would be great if you could attend. Maybe you can gain some connections for yourself."

Yan Quan was deeply moved by her words. "It doesn't matter if I don't participate. I'm in the business department anyway. People just ask me for help."

Shao Xiuxue didn't know much about the Ministry of Commerce, but after hearing what he said, she became interested. "I didn't expect you to be so capable now."

Yan Quan was actually just a small clerk, but the Yan family and his uncle's family were powerful, so he still had some reputation in the Ministry of Commerce.

At this moment, he saw his beloved looking at him with admiration, and said with a smile: "So, don't worry about anything, play when you want to play, eat when you want to eat, I can afford it."

This was very straightforward. Shao Xiuxue blushed and spat, "I'm not that lucky. I'm afraid my aunt won't like me."

This was the first time that Shao Xiuxue responded to Yan Quan positively.

So, Yan Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he almost jumped up with joy, saying "No, no" over and over again.

Seeing him do this, Shao Xiuxue felt more at ease and no longer regretted what she had just said.

However, when she thought of the attitude of the Yan family in Peking, her eyes darkened.

Ever since people knew that she was not the original wife's daughter and was not liked by her grandparents, the Yan family's attitude towards her changed a little.

It just so happened that I was envious of the Nanjing Qiao family's family background and Qiao Qin's good job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In fact, the most important thing is that she felt that by marrying into the Qiao family, she would be able to suppress Shao Yunshi.

Therefore, Yan Quan was not forced to give an explanation.

Now, after coming to Shanghai and seeing so many wealthy families, I am even less optimistic about the Yan family.

However, she no longer wants to think about the Qiao family and only hopes that her uncle can find her a rich son-in-law.

But? Now Yan Quan's words opened her eyes again.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that the man in front of her loves her.

From her mother, she knew that if a man deeply loved a woman, it was the foundation of the woman's long-term happiness and the pillar of her family status. For example, her mother.

Thinking of this, Shao Xiuxue suddenly felt a little unhappy. If her grandparents had not come to Peking, her mother would still have the final say in their family.

Nowadays, although my father still listens to my mother, it is not as good as before.

Seeing that she was suddenly unhappy, Yan Quan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is the coffee not authentic? Or is the cake not to your liking?"

Shao Xiuxue raised her eyes and saw his concerned face. She turned her eyes, pouted her lips, and said something half-complaining about the strict rules at home...

Yan Quan is a man after all, so he doesn’t think much about it, and even thinks that the Shao family has good education.

It was obvious that his sweetheart was unhappy, but he still coaxed her, "What's the big deal? You're old enough anyway. As long as you agree to get married, ..."

Having said this, he paused, and seeing that Shao Xiuxue was not annoyed, he became even happier, and patted his chest again, assuring: "When the time comes, you can play as you please, and I will never restrict your freedom."

Shao Xiuxue was satisfied after hearing this, but? "My aunt and the others might not be happy about it."

She said this in a delicate and shy manner, with a hook in her eyes.

Yan Quan's bones softened when he saw her like this. He was very domineering and his voice was a few decibels higher. "Our family is different from yours. My parents only listen to me. Don't worry."
