"Yi Yi, have you eaten?" He Yiyuan was on a video call with He Langxing, and He Langxing's voice was full of concern.
He Yiyuan held his face with his hands, his arms resting on the desk, a smile on his chubby face: "I have eaten, Dad, you are still in the company, have you eaten?"
He Yiyuan certainly recognized the decoration of He Langxing's office, so he knew he was in the company.
He Langxing also smiled: "It's time for dinner. Your mother asked someone to bring it to the company. I went to Jiang Daochi's company this afternoon, and he agreed to your marriage with Ah Hui."
He Yiyuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Dad."
He Langxing said, "The Jiang family wants to follow our local customs. Your mother and I will take you to the Jiang family to propose marriage and set the date for the engagement and wedding. When do you think you and Ah Hui will come back?"
He Yiyuan put down his hand that was supporting his face, leaned back in his office chair, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, how about this? In a few days, Fourth Brother Lai's son will be one month old. You and Mom will go to Zongxiao City to attend the full-moon banquet. Ah Hui and I will also go. We will go back with you the day after the banquet."
He Langxing smiled and said, "Then you should ask Ah Hui's opinion first. Aren't you afraid that she will be shy and unwilling to go back with us?"
He Yiyuan touched his head a little unnaturally: "She is willing to go back with me, but if she goes with you, I am afraid she will be shy. Let me ask her first, Dad, is the ring I want ready?"
He Langxing said, "How can I not pay attention to what you asked me to do? I will get it at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and ask someone to deliver it to you immediately. It will arrive after six o'clock tomorrow afternoon. You, you proposed marriage and you even asked your father to order a ring across provinces and send it to you."
A hint of pride flashed across He Yiyuan's gentle face. "I like her. Since we're going to arrange a marriage, why not choose someone I like? Why not be like He Xinyu, who was so unwilling that he stepped into the second engagement even though he knew it was a trap?"
He Langxing's face darkened. "Ayu is just messing around. He's known Situ Mingyan for a long time. He knew she had a boyfriend and was pregnant, but he still agreed to get engaged to her a second time. He said he would have let it go if she just wanted to live peacefully. But then he asked to cancel the engagement. Your second uncle is just messing around. He disregards his son's interests for his own benefit."
He Yiyuan laughed sarcastically, "Second Uncle has more than one son. He Xinyu is almost fainting from anger. Has the divorce between Second Aunt and Second Uncle come to any conclusion?"
He Langxing had a look of contempt on his face. "Your second uncle's character is such that even if he were my biological brother, I'd still want to scold him. The illegitimate child is only one year younger than Ayu. Back then, he was the one who personally proposed to your second aunt. We were a perfect match, and I thought we were in love, but in the end... even if it's for personal gain, we should be more strict with ourselves and protect our marriage. He thought he was clever, but your second aunt had already noticed and quietly protected Ayu's interests. Now she's filed for divorce, but your second uncle is adamantly refusing, fearing he'll lose support. He's been busy coaxing his wife lately."
He Yiyuan sighed, "Actually, I feel a little sympathetic towards He Xinyu."
He Langxing's expression was filled with regret. "I'm being too naive. I only recently found out that Ayu has a half-brother. But this has no impact on you or me at all. Actually, Ayu is pitiful too. He was heartbroken by a woman when he was young. He's six years older than you. Even if the engagement is broken off now, his reputation is a bit tarnished. He's been engaged to the same woman twice, and broke off the engagement twice. It will be difficult for him to find someone who is equally matched and compatible with him in the future."
He Yiyuan's right fingertips were rubbing his cufflinks, his eyes as dark as a nighttime pool. "It's even harder for the Situ siblings to find someone who's both well-matched and emotionally compatible. Ah Hui really dislikes the Situ family, so when Situ Mingtao approached me about collaborating and raising funds, I flatly refused. Later, I learned that his project was actually quite promising, with a good rate of return."
He Langxing knew his son inside and out. Although it was a perfectly normal action, he knew it was something he did subconsciously when he was hesitant. So he frowned slightly and said, "Yi Yi, just do what's in your heart. The He family has no shortage of projects, and it's only natural to make your fiancée happy. Besides, the Situ family isn't a suitable partner."
He Yiyuan immediately smiled and said, "Dad, thank you for your support. It allows me to not feel guilty about rejecting the Situ family's cooperation. In fact, I'm just watching to see which family will marry into and cooperate with the Situ family."
He Langxing said, "Alright, my son, He Langxing, has the confidence to be willful. Jiang Sihui is good in every aspect. She is three years older than you, which is nothing. In fact, she is better at taking care of people. She is really a perfect match for you. She has a good relationship with Liu Jingze, which is an extra help. Liu Jingze is more reliable than her cousins."
He Yiyuan nodded. "Liu Jingze is indeed more reliable than Ah Hui's cousins. He treats her well with all his heart. The two companies they co-founded are on track and profitable. However, six months ago, he only kept 10% of the shares in each company and sold the rest to Ah Hui at par. He also gave the position of general manager to Ah Hui. Even this time, when his cousin made me angry, he was unwilling to let Ah Hui intercede with me so that we could sign the contract."
He Langxing said, "Your future father-in-law has always had good judgment. He's confident in entrusting his daughter to Liu Jingze's care, and he obviously trusts his character. Do you still plan to sign the contract for the second phase of the factory project to his uncle's company?"
He Yiyuan said, "Yes, Dad. I've sent you the quotes from various construction companies. I'm more optimistic about Yu Yu Construction's quote, which only includes the labor but not the materials. What's your opinion?"
He Langxing said without hesitation: "I support your opinion. It's eight o'clock in the evening now. You should go home and rest quickly. I will prepare the gifts for the Jiang family in advance and come to propose marriage when the time comes."
