He Chen is also a top student in the finance department, but his personality is gentle and reserved, which is completely different from his mother's straightforward and efficient temperament. However, being too gentle is not always a good thing, just like now...
Aunt He would have liked to grab her old son and beat him with a washing board, making him see the situation clearly! It's too late to say now, all the girls he liked have become someone else's wife, even if he regrets it now, it's too late!
Ji Xiaoli looked at He Dajie, who was somewhat stunned, and because of their good relationship, she dared to wave her hand in front of her and call out: "Auntie He? Auntie He, what's wrong?"
"Ah...... I'm fine, but you got married without even telling Auntie, and solved your personal problems so quickly. Our Xiao Chen is still muddled all day, only knowing how to do business, and doesn't even know to find a considerate girlfriend... really..." She said this while paying attention to Ji Xiaoli's expression.
"Why, the young lady from that family doesn't understand her meaning at all, and even less understands her son's heart. She shouted loudly: 'He Chen must be thinking of starting his own business first before getting married. Even if he gets married late, he must be looking for a good daughter-in-law to take care of you, Auntie He, in the future!'"
He Da Shu sighed, our family wants you, but now you've already entered another family's door...
"A small departure from your mouth is sweet... I don't ask for a good daughter-in-law, just half as good as you would be fine."
Ji Xiaoli didn't understand why He Dajie was bringing the topic back to herself, but that didn't mean Qin Zhenyang didn't understand. If he had been guessing earlier, now he thoroughly understood.
"Xiao Li, it's getting late, shall we go up first?"
Ji Xiaoli smiled and bid farewell to He Dajie, preparing to go upstairs. Qin Zhenyang asked anxiously: "What's going on between you and the son of that family?"
What's up? He asked what's up. Ji Xiao Li's impression of He Chen is that he's a good boy, a data boy, a smart boy... and also a classmate.
"What's up He Chen? We're classmates, right? Auntie He just mentioned it too... But what a coincidence, we were in the same school from high school to university, I was in the finance department and so was he. That's about it, what's going on?"
Qin Zhenyang's mouth twitched, he had already seen that the big mom just now must have really liked his wife to be their daughter-in-law, and even thought that so-called He Chen was secretly in love with his wife, but this one at home still didn't feel anything.
This is either a very secretive crush or his wife is too oblivious... As for this, Qin San Ye really doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried. His wife is great in every way, it's just that she has too many admirers, which isn't good, really not good!
That night, He Chen was pulled by the ear by his mother and scolded in the room. The 25-year-old He Chen sat on the bed like a primary school student, with his hands on his knees, ready to listen to his mother's words of wisdom.
"Hasn't it been arranged for you to go on a blind date recently?"
Mentioning blind dates, He Chen was unhappy, deeply unhappy, as for why, only he himself knew.
For her son's silence, Mrs. He knew it in her heart, she was so angry that she couldn't help but take out her slippers and give him a slap on the forehead: "I've raised you for so long, how many times have I told you? A man must be proactive! Proactive! Do you know what proactive means?! All day hiding behind someone's butt to peek, all day hiding in the room writing diary, besides having a crush, you don't dare to confess face-to-face, right?! If you're not brave enough for anything, then why bother liking someone?! What's wrong with going on a blind date?!"
He Chen rubbed his sore forehead in distress, "Mom, she broke up with that guy when they graduated from college, so I still have a chance..."
Can't help but say, He Cheng's news lagged behind, his self-feeling was good, so it also led to the outcome of things.
He Mu smiled and moved a chair to sit face-to-face with her son, "Do you think that now she's broken up with him, you have a chance?"
"Isn't it? I asked her a few months ago when I saw her, and she said she was single."
It's been said that it was just a few months ago... But it's no wonder, those two probably also registered their marriage not long ago. The fool probably still doesn't know that he was taken advantage of in this short period of time.
"Son, actually I and you are the same, both quite hope that Xiaoli can enter our family gate... although she is not the biological daughter of the Ji family, but how about her character? I also see it in my eyes. However, I tell you, you two will not be able to make it." He Mu sighed.
He Chen was still bewildered and somewhat puzzled: "Why?"
"She got married, probably just a few months ago." It should be said that before you hesitated and didn't find someone to confess to, she was already married. Mrs. He didn't say this out loud, not wanting to stimulate her son too much.
"What?!" He sprang up from bed, his eyes wide with shock: "How is that possible... I clearly asked her, did she lie to me? But she had no reason to deceive..."
"Others are flash marriages! Maybe they just pulled one from the street... But anyway, you should give up, she's married and there's no possibility with you. From now on, just obediently go on blind dates for me, next year you must find a wife to bring back!"
He Jing's mood hadn't settled down yet, and after hearing this, she didn't respond for a long time: "Mom, did you see her today?"
"What's more, I've seen the man she's with. So it's not unreasonable to say that you should give up hope. No matter how they met, one thing is for sure - the man looks like a real catch. He's tall and handsome, and his demeanor suggests he's from a good family."
He Chen didn't say another word after hearing this, his heart felt a little sad. The woman he had secretly loved for many years suddenly became someone else's, and they even got their certificate. This made his last bit of hope disappear instantly. Even if he wanted to recover his mood, it would probably take some time...
However, he was still very curious about what his mother said, especially about Ji Xiao Li's so-called husband. He wanted to see him and see if he was really as fierce as his mother said, or maybe it was just an exaggeration. However, after a long time, he did meet that person, and he could only be glad that he had really let go of the idea, otherwise, at that time, he might have been beaten up badly... These are already postscripts.
Now Ji Xiao Li has arrived at the Ji's house, and Ji Chun Lin is delighted to see his eldest daughter return. Especially seeing how her husband dotes on her, any previous uncertainty has vanished without a trace. He can only sigh in admiration that his daughter has good taste, having chosen such an understanding and caring man as her husband.
Fang Youlan felt extremely unbalanced in her heart, especially when she thought of what her daughter had said to her two days ago. All her efforts had been seen through by the Qin family, and her mood had been suppressed ever since. Now, looking at Ji Xiaoli, she also seemed gloomy.
Ji Chunlin also noticed his wife's loss of composure and couldn't help but cough twice: "Your mom is just like that, you're not knowing it for the first time, don't think too much. You and Zhenyang rarely come back, today no matter what, let's have a meal before leaving."
Last time, because of the unpleasantness with Ji Xuewei, the two didn't even eat lunch and left early. After that, Ji Chunlin's mood wasn't very good either.
"En, I and Zhenyang are here to grab a meal today. On Father's birthday, we said we'd come no matter what to keep you company." Ji Xiaoli leaned against Ji Chunlin, which made Ji Chunlin think of his eldest daughter's spoiled behavior when she was young.
The eldest daughter is very sensible, even when she was very young, she knew that she was adopted, but she is also very obedient. However, his wife just didn't like her, and many times he tried to persuade her, but it was all in vain... This time, Xuewei's unexpected miscarriage, he seemed to think that the eldest daughter really did it, but unexpectedly, everything was actually a play by the younger daughter, with the final goal of framing...
After knowing, Ji Chunlin had been resentful of his suspicion of his eldest daughter. Now, seeing his eldest daughter pouting beside him, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
"Dad, don't always look so serious... you should smile more often, then there won't be so many wrinkles on your face." Ji Xiaoli used her hand to smooth out the lines between her father's eyebrows.
Ji Chunlin took a photo of her paws and laughed: "You're all so old, but still like little kids... I'm also this old, whether I smile or not, my face will have wrinkles anyway. It's you young people who should be smiling more."
Ji Xiaoli glanced at the man leaning on her other side and joked with Ji Chunlin, "Dad, even when I don't want to laugh, Zhenyang can always make me happy, so you can rest assured about that."
"Really?" Ji Chunlin looked at his son-in-law, and there was a saying that the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law with increasing satisfaction. What was different in this family was that Fang Youlan would not say it out loud even if she was very satisfied with this person. On the contrary, Ji Chunlin was not stingy with a few words of praise, after all, his son-in-law was really good.
He originally thought it was the Qin family, after all, it's a top-notch wealthy family, or more or less, there will be some arrogance and some difficulty getting close, but unexpectedly, the son-in-law doesn't have any temper in front of his own family, especially towards his daughter, that's unquestionable.
"Of course... Dad, you don't know, at home Zhenyang is just like your incarnation. In the past, it was you who took care of me and didn't let me eat fried snacks. Now, it's Zhenyang who takes care of me. Yesterday, my stomach hurt a bit, he locked up all my snacks and even made me drink hot milk every night... That's why I said, Zhenyang is just like a second father!"
The words are fine, but her husband is her father's age...
Ji Chunlin glared at his daughter, "So young and yet so reckless with your words! Zhenyang is right to discipline you. At your age, you still don't know how to take care of yourself. Don't you know that you should eat less junk food? With a stomach like yours, you should be more careful!"
Ji Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and said, "I know!"
Qin Zhenyang expressed his loyalty at the right time, "Dad, don't worry, I'll take care of Xiaoli, you can rest assured."
"I know, handing Xiaoli over to you is for the best... I have some understanding of this matter, and I also know that the Qin family has some views on Xiaoli. However, I'm not in a position to change anything. It's actually you, I hope you won't mind those superficial things."
If Qin Zhenyang had cared about his status and position, he wouldn't have gone for that flash marriage.
"Dad, Xiaoli is Xiaoli, what I care about is her, not those things... As for the family, I will slowly persuade them, my parents are not unreasonable people." But the fact is that Old Man Qin has a very stubborn temper and is indeed a bit unreasonable.
Fang Youlan came out of the kitchen and looked at these three people chatting intermittently, with a cheerful expression on her face, but looking unhappy...
If Ji Xiaoli had previously been considerate of Fang Youlan's upbringing, she had always endured, but since Ji Xuewei made ruthless moves against herself three times, she had completely lost her heart to this mother and daughter. Seeing Fang Youlan unhappy, she was delighted in her heart.
"Aunt Fang, why hasn't Xuewei arrived yet? Today is Father's birthday, after all."
Ji Chunlin was taken aback when he heard this title, but he also knew that it was unlikely to repair their relationship, so he didn't say anything.
Fang Youlan's face suddenly fell after hearing this: "It's not even 11 o'clock yet, what's the hurry? He must be on his way!"
Ji Xiaoli laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that Xue Wei's stomach might not have fully recovered yet. Why don't you stay in the hospital for another two days... What if something goes wrong again?"
Everyone present could hear the sarcastic tone, and Ji Chunlin knew that his youngest daughter had gone too far, so he couldn't say anything. After all, both sides were family, and he couldn't take sides, so he remained silent.
Fang Youlan understood the implicit meaning and pointed at her with anger, "You...!"
Before she could utter the two words "cheap person", she felt a sharp cold air sweep over her, and her eyes flashed as she knew it was Qin Zhenyang.
But his face was already not looking good.
At this time, the doorbell had already rung.
