Chapter 165: Doubt (Page 1/2)

Huo Qingyan looked at Ling Fei, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry.

I thought to myself: This little girl is so naive and cute that she can't even tell the truth from lies in other people's words. I'm afraid she will suffer a lot in the future!

Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Jun...

This man wears a pair of glasses, looks gentle, and always speaks in a roundabout way. It turns out that people who work in government agencies are all good at calculating!

Huo Qingyan patted Ling Fei's shoulder gently and said earnestly, "Alright, Fei Fei, stop talking nonsense. We should understand the principle of respecting elders. When it comes to New Year's greetings, of course my brother-in-law should come first."

After saying that, he smiled at Chen Jun and said, "Brother-in-law, Feifei is not sensible, please don't mind it too much."

Chen Jun smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, we are all family. Why would I mind what my little sister said?"

At this moment, Ling Yue came over with a cup of steaming jasmine tea, a bright smile on her face.

She handed the teacup to Huo Qingyan and said softly, "Brother-in-law, please have some tea."

Huo Qingyan took the teacup expressionlessly and thanked him politely.

Ling Zhigao, who was standing by, saw this scene and came forward with a smile, asking Huo Qingyan with concern: "Xiao Huo, how is your grandfather's health recently? Is everything okay?"

"My grandfather is in good health. Thank you for your concern, Dad."

The word "Dad" made Ling Zhigao's heart tremble and he grinned. He was full of praise for this promising young son-in-law.

Now, the whole unit knows that he has such an outstanding pilot son-in-law, which makes him very proud.

Not only that, Huo Qingyan's family background is even more enviable.

He comes from a military family. His grandfather was a general, and his eldest uncle and second uncle were both heroes who died heroically.

Even though his parents were only high-level intellectuals, this family background still meant that their family was not affected in the slightest.

What is even more rare is that Huo Qingyan himself is also an excellent pilot, and his future is bound to be bright and limitless.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhigao couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart, and became more and more satisfied with this son-in-law.

Ye Lan pulled Ling Fei's hand and said, "Let's go to the kitchen and help cook."

Huo Qingyan looked at his fiancée who was dragged away, then looked at Ling Yue who stayed sitting next to Chen Jun, and He Miao who was holding the child.

The youngest child is favored in other families, but why is it the other way around in the Ling family?

He wanted to say something, but then felt it was inappropriate. Just as he was in a trance, Ling Yue suddenly said to Huo Qingyan: "Brother-in-law, are you really planning to get married at the end of this year? My sister is young..."

Huo Qingyan didn't understand what Sister Ling Fei was trying to do. Was she trying to stop them from getting married?

He said bluntly: "Sister, the betrothal gifts have been paid, and Ling Fei will be eighteen by the end of the year. We can go and get the marriage certificate. Although she is young, I am not young anymore. I am twenty-four this year."

Ling Yue then remembered Huo Qingyan's age. He was twenty-four years old, one year older than her fiancé Chen Jun. Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate for Huo Qingyan to be her brother-in-law.

If Huo Qingyan was willing to marry her, she wouldn't mind giving up Chen Jun for the sake of her sister.

"I just think my sister is too young. She doesn't have a job and was fired from the art troupe. If she gets married at the end of the year, will people in the compound gossip about her?"

Huo Qingyan thought, as long as Ling Fei, her elder sister, doesn't talk nonsense, who would say bad things about Ling Fei?

Huo Qingyan looked at Chen Jun with a half-smile and jokingly said, "Brother-in-law, you seem to be one year younger than me, right? I'm not thinking you're too young and want to postpone the marriage for two years, am I?"

Chen Jun frowned and glanced at Ling Yue. The Huo family had already paid the betrothal gift and agreed to marry Ling Fei by the end of the year. Why was Ling Yue meddling in other people's business? Didn't she want this Huo man to marry Ling Fei?

Or does she think that this guy surnamed Huo has more prospects than him, so she is setting her sights on this guy surnamed Huo again?

If it weren't for Ling Yue's good family background and beautiful looks, he wouldn't have spent so much money to marry her.

"Yueyue, my younger sister's marriage has been decided by both families, so we don't need to interfere. We're getting married in a few months, so let's think about what else we haven't bought for the wedding."

Ling Zhigao agreed, "Yes, Yueyue, Xiao Chen is right. You should not interfere in your sister's affairs. When you have time, prepare the wedding dowry with your mother."

When Ling Yue thought of her wedding dowry, she smiled proudly. Her mother said that she would save all the gift money that Chen Jun gave to their family, and would also take out 100 yuan from her sister's betrothal money to buy her dowry items.

For example, aluminum buckets, kettles, pillowcases, quilt covers, washstands, bathtubs, cages... just buy whatever you need.

Originally, her mother said she wanted to buy her a sewing machine, but unfortunately their family didn’t have a sewing machine ticket, so they decided to buy it later.

Huo Qingyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly: "Dad, my sister just mentioned that Feifei didn't go to work today. Isn't this just right? Feifei can accompany mom and sister to buy dowry.

If my sister is too busy to come, then it would be great if Feifei could choose. The two sisters can just buy two identical dowries at the same time this year."

When Ling Zhigao heard this, his face froze slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

After all, the eldest daughter Ling Yue is scheduled to get married on May 1st, so it is natural to give priority to preparing the eldest daughter's dowry.

Ling Yue was full of doubts and couldn't understand why Huo Qingyan made such a suggestion.

My mother is buying her a dowry, what does it have to do with my sister? The little girl is so young and already wants a man, and she's even making a fuss about getting married in the same year as me. She's deliberately trying to outdo me.

Now, he lets this guy named Huo act as a lobbyist and even dreams of getting the same dowry as himself. It is simply wishful thinking!

Mom said that buying Ling Fei two buckets, two thermoses, and two quilts would be enough, and the rest of the money could be used for my second brother's wedding. This way, Mom and Dad wouldn't have to use the money in their passbook.

At this moment, Huo Qingyan saw that his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law were silent, and Ling Yue was also silent. He couldn't help but think to himself: Could it be that the Ling family really doesn't want to prepare a dowry for Ling Fei?

Logically speaking, even if the parents were partial, they wouldn't be so biased, right? Could it be that Ling Fei wasn't their child?

Was she an adopted child or an illegitimate daughter? How could they treat her like this?

How could they have the heart to send such a young child to be raised by the Ye family? Could it be that Ling Fei is her aunt's child?
