Disappointed with his stupidity, Lan's mother immediately ordered him, "Shut up and sit still. Shuangshuang and I will go cook."
"Okay, Mom." Lan Shuang stood up and went to the kitchen with her mother. When her mother passed by Jiang Han, she said, "Xiao Han, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"No, Auntie can do anything."
"Okay, can you handle spicy food?"
"Yes."
Lan Shuang pulled her mother's arm and said, "Mom, why don't you ask me about these? I know everything. Let's go."
"Okay, okay, okay."
The two of them went into the kitchen, leaving only Lan's father and Jiang Han in the living room. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Lan's father quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Xiaohan, I didn't mean to expose your scars or anything. I just asked casually. Don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, uncle. You'll know sooner or later. Even if you don't ask, I'll tell you."
Jiang Han told Lan's father about his previous experiences in detail. After listening to him, Lan's father became very angry and slammed his palm on the coffee table, shaking the cups and fruit plates on it.
"That's too much! How could they do this to you? How old were you then? How could they have the heart to do that? Are they human? Not even animals would do such a thing!"
Jiang Han didn't expect to make Lan's father so angry. He was a little confused for a moment. Before he could react, Lan's father took his hand again, his eyes red, and said, "Son, you have suffered."
Jiang Han had never heard these words before. Now, facing an elder who was much older than him, and being told these words in such a gentle and caring tone, Jiang Han felt inexplicably shocked. His heart felt as if it had been thrown up into the air and then carefully caught, and it was throbbing with excitement.
He felt Lan's father's warm, dry palm and said with some emotion, "It's all over."
"Yes, it's all in the past." Lan's father shook his hand vigorously and repeated, "It's all in the past. You still have a long way to go. If you don't like them, there's no need to go back and make yourself uncomfortable. If you miss home, come to us. Your aunt and I will definitely welcome you."
"good."
Jiang Han agreed with a smile, feeling very relieved. The nervousness he felt when he first entered the room had long since dissipated with the in-depth communication.
Shuangshuang is right, her parents are really very good people.
I don’t know what Lan Shuang and Lan’s mother said in the kitchen. When Lan’s mother came out again, she treated Jiang Han as well as her own son. During the meal, she kept picking up food for him, which made Jiang Han helpless and the plate in front of him was never empty.
Jiang Han is good at dealing with the greedy elders in his family and is used to not giving them a good face. But when he meets such a pair of gentle and kind elders, he will be struck by their sudden kindness, his heart will be paralyzed, he will be at a loss, and he will not refuse.
He didn't want to make them sad, so he ate whatever Lan's mother picked for him. By the time he left the table, he was so full that he could hardly walk.
The family sat on the sofa and watched some boring melodrama for a while. Jiang Han and Lan Shuang had to leave in the afternoon. One of them had a class the next day, and the other had a meeting to attend, so they couldn't stay long.
Both Lan's mother and father felt very sorry, but the children had grown up and had their own lives, so they were very understanding even if they were reluctant to let them go.
So after sending them to the door and watching them leave reluctantly, they comforted each other and went home.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Han was holding two big red envelopes in his hands.
Although this amount of money was insignificant to Jiang Han and might not even make up a fraction of his bank balance, the satisfaction he felt from receiving a red envelope from an elder for the first time was incomparable to anything else.
He held the two heavy red envelopes and looked at them over and over again.
Lan Shuang felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she watched from the side.
It turns out that love can heal everything. Even someone as cold and hard as Jiang Han will be moved by this ordinary and simple feeling.
…
When they boarded the plane and took off, Lan Shuang leaned on Jiang Han's shoulder in a daze and felt drowsy. Jiang Han was also sleepy and fell asleep after closing his eyes for a while.
888's voice suddenly rang out, "The female supporting character's resentment value has been reduced by nine, leaving one. Come on, host!"
Lan Shuang listened and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously. She almost knew what it was, but she was not in a hurry.
…
After resolving the issue of meeting the parents, the two began to get busy again. Lan Shuang went back to class and was busy with various activities, while Jiang Han was preparing for the future.
Although he could ignore the nonsense from his relatives, one thing really touched Jiang Han's heart.
He didn't want to hold the power of the Jiang family any longer; it was too tiring.
After eliminating those who harbored ulterior motives, he promoted his own confidants, hoping that these people could take charge before he stepped down.
He didn't just use his own confidants. There were several younger generations in the Jiang family who had good qualifications and good personalities, and he was happy to give them opportunities to train.
In every generation, there are those who are confused, and naturally there are also those who are clear-headed. In such a large family, there are always a few sober people, like Jiang Han's fourth uncle and fifth uncle, second aunt and third aunt, who are all relatively sensible people, and Jiang Han is quite satisfied to see their children.
I plan to choose one of these people to take over my burden.
Old Master Jiang saw through his plan and called him in for a talk. Jiang Han told the old man his thoughts truthfully. Although the old man was not very satisfied, he knew that what he did was right, so he didn't say anything and instead asked about Lan Shuang.
Jiang Han said seriously: "Grandpa, I like her very much. She is very good. Haven't you seen her?"
Mr. Jiang leaned on his cane and looked thoughtful: "He is indeed a powerful one."
Jiang Han chuckled: "That's just one side of her. She's usually very gentle and smart. She has her own ideas and she's very tolerant of me."
The old man was stunned, and then he heard Jiang Han say: "I got sick twice in front of her, and she didn't despise me. She even tried to enlighten me."
Old Master Jiang's expression changed slightly, and then he sighed, "If you like it, then so be it. The Jiang family doesn't need you to arrange a marriage anyway. As you said, if the Jiang family has reached this status and still needs to rely on marriage to stabilize it, it would be too much of a debasement."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I'll fly back tomorrow morning."
Mr. Jiang glared at him and said, "Can't you stay a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's urgent. I feel anxious every day when I'm not with her." Jiang Han said with a smile.
Mr. Jiang: “…”
"Go away, go away, you're an eyesore." He was so jealous that he waved his hand and turned away, not wanting to look at him anymore.
Jiang Han thanked the old man solemnly again and turned to leave.
…
Two years passed in a flash in the busy life, and in the blink of an eye it was Lan Shuang's graduation day.
In the past two years, she has performed very well in school, with excellent grades, and even changed her major from music to economics.
It has to be said that this gap is really huge, but Lan Shuang is talented and willing to work hard, and with Jiang Han behind the scenes, everything goes smoothly.
