Lan's mother even pulled Lan Shuang aside with some concern and asked solemnly, "Did you go to the supermarket to rob? That's not good. How about we send him back and turn him in?"
Lan Shuang: “…”
Your train of thought is quite unique.
She helplessly pulled Lan's mother's hand and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? Are we that kind of people? He..." Lan Shuang turned her head to look at the tall man with a slender waist and long legs in the sun, and smiled, "He's just richer, and it's his first time here, so I was nervous and worried that you wouldn't like what I bought, so I bought a copy of everything I saw that was good."
Lan's mother smacked her lips in surprise: "This is too much... How can I be so embarrassed?"
"Please accept it. These are all gifts from his heart. He will feel even worse if you don't accept them."
After much persuasion from Lan Shuang, Lan's mother finally accepted it. The family moved the things upstairs together, running back and forth several times. The neighbors around were curious and looked out.
Lan's mother explained, "It's nothing. Shuangshuang brought her boyfriend back."
After hearing her say this, the neighbors congratulated her and came to join in the fun. When they saw Jiang Han and Lan Shuang standing together, they said that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
The folk customs here are relatively simple, and the relationship between neighbors is very good, so everyone is very kind and did not say anything bad because of Jiang Han's generosity.
It was Jiang Han's first time dealing with such a situation, and he felt a little awkward, but he still had some business skills to use. He smiled and asked Lan's mother and father to distribute some fruits and drinks to the neighbors. Everyone didn't expect him to be so generous, and they praised him endlessly.
Lan's father watched from the side and thought this young man was really capable. He took the opportunity to tell Lan's mother, "I think he's quite good. Much better than that Du Mingsheng. That kid has always been petty since he was a child. This one looks like he's not an ordinary person."
Lan's mother nodded in agreement: "Well, it's quite good. Let's take a look."
After sending away the enthusiastic neighbors, the family closed the door and sat on the sofa. Lan Shuang and Jiang Han sat together, and Lan's father and mother sat together. There was tea, melon seeds and fruit snacks on the sofa. They had prepared them early in the morning and the coffee table was polished to a shine.
Who said Jiang Han was the only one who was nervous?
"Mom and Dad, this is my official boyfriend—Jiang Han."
Lan Shuang spoke first. Jiang Han stood up and bowed to the two elders, then extended his hand: "Auntie, Uncle, my name is Jiang Han, and I am the current helmsman of the Jiang Group."
"Jiang Group?" Lan's father's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Is this the Jiang Group I'm thinking of?"
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Yes, from high-tech to daily necessities, all of them are within the scope of Jiang's business."
Lan's father was stunned and subconsciously stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, but said nothing.
Mother Lan was fine. She smiled and shook hands with Jiang Han, then looked at Lan Shuang with some concern. How did such a young and promising man know Shuangshuang?
That's what she thought, so she asked.
Jiang Han sat down and said, "Shuangshuang and I met during a trip. I saw her by chance and fell in love with her at first sight, so I started pursuing her. She didn't agree at first, but after we were together for a long time and kept persuading her, she finally agreed."
Lan Shuang smiled: "That's right, he spent a long time with me, and I was moved by him."
As for the specific content, she did not say. These were all discussed in advance by her and Jiang Han. The process of their acquaintance was a bit thrilling. If her parents knew about it, they would be scared to death.
Therefore, these white lies are very necessary. After all, the person in the lie will either go to jail for life or have no hope of returning here in this life. Even if he gets out, he probably won't have the face to see his parents again, so he is not afraid of his lies being exposed.
"Is that so..." Mother Lan felt a little relieved and continued to ask, "How old are you this year? Have you considered getting married? Who are your family members? I'm sorry, maybe asking so many questions may make you feel a little offended, but as Shuangshuang's mother, I still have to ask the right questions, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured."
Jiang Han nodded, expressing his understanding: "It's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"I'm 28 years old this year. If Shuangshuang is willing, I plan to get married after she graduates. Of course, the specific time depends on Shuangshuang. I'm fine with either."
Lan's mother glanced at Lan Shuang, and Lan Shuang said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll consider it after I graduate and have a stable job."
Lan's father shook his head. "You can't keep me waiting too long. Twenty-eight isn't young anymore. By the time you graduate, you'll be thirty. You really should consider marriage. We understand that you young people prioritize your careers, but this shouldn't prevent you from getting married, right?"
Lan Shuang said helplessly: "I know, Dad."
"Our family..." Jiang Han paused here. Lan Shuang remembered that he had just fallen ill. Would it be a bad idea to bring it up at this time?
She held Jiang Han's hand worriedly and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'll explain to my parents later."
"Ah?" Lan's mother and father looked at each other blankly. "Is it inconvenient? Then don't tell me. There's no rush."
"It's okay, I've let it go." Jiang Han took Lan Shuang's hand and squeezed it, saying soothingly, "Trust me."
Lan Shuang pursed her lips and said, "Yeah."
"Actually, my family is a large one with a large population. Not to mention the side branches and the miscellaneous branches, there are several main branches. My father is the eldest in the family, and he has four younger brothers and three younger sisters."
"So many people?"
Mother Lan exclaimed, and thought inappropriately, if Shuangshuang passes by, will she be able to recognize everyone?
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Yes, there are quite a few. They all have more than one child, and they are in charge of different departments. But I am the eldest of this generation, and the entire Jiang family is supported by me. So if Shuangshuang marries me, she won't have to look at their faces, nor will she have to listen to anyone's manipulation. No one dares to look at her badly."
Hearing him say that, Lan's mother finally felt relieved. "That's the best."
Lan's father also nodded. "Do your parents agree with you and Shuangshuang being together? Although Shuangshuang is the apple of my eye, she is completely different from you in other aspects."
Jiang Han paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Uncle and aunt, I must be frank about this. My relationship with my family is not good. Apart from the necessary support obligations, my parents and I have no contact with each other until we die. So whether they agree or not is not important."
"Ah?" Lan's father was surprised: "How could it become like this?"
Lan's mother immediately nudged him with her elbow and glared at him. Why was he bringing up something that was not relevant? Isn't it normal for wealthy families to have some grudges?
Even ordinary families have conflicts between parents and children, let alone such a big family?
I have to ask, what the hell is the point.
