Once inside, everyone sat in the living room, and Du Yuhan quickly served her parents tea and water.
The He family members all sat on the sofa, while Han Yixian sat in a chair.
Du Yuhan looked at her parents and brother with a demeanor that resembled a joint trial.
She chuckled inwardly; Han Yixian was definitely going to get a scolding now. No matter how capable Han Yixian was, he'd have to be careful in front of his parents.
Yu Huiru had often heard the name Han Yixian in Kyoto; he had always been a role model and someone to learn from. Today was the first time she had met him in person.
Looking at the young man sitting in the chair in front of her, Yu Huiru thought to herself that people used to say that Han Yixian was handsome, as good-looking as Pan An, and now that she saw him, it really was true. This young man was indeed good-looking, and he and her daughter were a perfect match. It's just that he was a bit older, more than ten years older than her daughter.
However, she then thought that being older had its advantages, since her husband was eight years older than her.
I just don't know if he'll be good to his daughter in the future. Anyway, what happened before has already left them with a very bad impression, so we'll have to see how he behaves from now on.
Han Yixian felt very nervous seeing the He family sitting on the sofa watching him silently; he had never been so nervous before. He was afraid that the He family would unanimously oppose Du Yuhan being with him, which would definitely affect Du Yuhan's decision.
Although He Chenglin, the patriarch of the He family, had met Han Yixian before, he still asked, "Han Yixian, right?"
Han Yixian quickly replied, "Yes, Uncle, I am Han Yixian."
He Chenglin nodded and said, "We know a little about what happened between you and my daughter. We were separated from her for more than ten years. When we found her, we wanted her to come home, but she insisted on healing your leg before she could go home."
Although we very much wanted to live with our daughter and fulfill our responsibilities as parents, we respected her choice.
After your leg healed, so many things happened. When she returned home, she was already battered and bruised, both physically and mentally. All of this was caused to her by you.
As parents, we saw it all, and it pained us deeply. She said she didn't want anything to do with you anymore, and we supported her. So we didn't tell her anything about what happened to you afterward.
If it's in her mother's and my opinion, we don't want her to have anything to do with you anymore. However, as I said before, we will respect her decision. If she forgives you and accepts you back in the end, we won't have any objections. If she doesn't accept you back, I hope you won't make things difficult for her.
Whatever my daughter ultimately chooses, I will always be her strong support. I hope you understand that.
He Chenglin was also frightened by Liang Shouzhen's statement that his daughter didn't want to get married. If only Han Yixian could open his daughter's heart, then he would accept him as his son-in-law.
Du Yuhan had no idea that her unintentional words had changed her parents' mindset significantly, unknowingly earning them points with Han Yixian.
Du Yuhan was moved by her father's words. She didn't blame her parents and family for keeping Han Yixian from her, because it was her own request. At that time, she really didn't want to hear any news about Han Yixian.
Han Yixian said, "Uncle, I know I've caused Yuhan a lot of pain. I don't want to make any excuses, since the mistake has been made. I just want you to give me a chance. I promise I will never do anything to hurt Yuhan again. I will spend the rest of my life taking good care of her."
Anything I say now is meaningless; I will prove myself through my actions.
I have severed ties with the Han family and have no family responsibilities. I will not allow Yuhan to suffer any further blame. From now on, I will live in City C with Yuhan, so that she can be with you all at any time.
Han Yixian spoke earnestly, desperately hoping the He family would give him a chance. He would prove to them that marrying their daughter to him was absolutely the right decision. He would spoil their daughter rotten.
He Zhenhua and He Zhendong dared not interrupt when their father spoke so seriously.
He Zhenhua understood Han Yixian quite well, after all, a man who bears responsibility is often not in control of his own destiny.
Han Yixian quickly made amends after making his mistake. Moreover, he had suffered greatly and endured immense pain in the previous incident.
He Zhenhua even felt some sympathy for Han Yixian. But he would still stand by his younger sister. He shared his father's opinion and respected his sister's decision. If his sister no longer accepted Han Yixian, then no one could force her. He would be her strong support.
He Zhendong disliked Han Yixian and felt that his good brother Huo Xicheng was more suitable for Xiaomei.
Han Yixian is so old, and he's hurt my younger sister's feelings too. Who knows if he'll cause her any more trouble in the future?
If his younger sister insisted on choosing Han Yixian, he would have no choice but to reluctantly accept him as his brother-in-law. However, until his younger sister made a clear statement, he would still support his good brother.
Yu Huiru, who had been silent and deep in thought, finally spoke up, "Comrade Xiao Han, as Yuhan's mother, my greatest wish is for my daughter to be happy in the future. Just like her father said, we will support whatever choice she makes. But what I want to say is that we haven't had enough time to find our daughter. We need to keep her with us for a few more years. You see, you're not young anymore. If you can't wait..."
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian quickly replied, "Auntie, I'm only in my early twenties, not old at all. No matter when Yuhan wants to get married, I can wait."
It must have been really tough for Han Yixian to be told he was too old by his future mother-in-law. He was definitely being rejected.
He Zhendong rolled his eyes at Han Yixian's words, thinking to himself, "What do you mean, 'in his twenties'? He's almost thirty, for crying out loud. This Han Yixian is really bold. He's obviously dishonest."
Du Yuhan watched as her parents bombarded Han Yixian with questions, and secretly chuckled at Han Yixian's nervous expression. He deserved it; he needed to be nervous too.
He Chenglin then asked Han Yixian some questions about his personal situation, just like a father-in-law and mother-in-law evaluating their son-in-law.
Although the He family questioned him for a long time, they still couldn't give Han Yixian a definite answer on whether they agreed to his relationship with Du Yuhan. They left the decision to Du Yuhan.
Huo Xicheng wasn't in the living room; it wasn't appropriate for him to participate in this occasion. He was sitting in the east room drinking tea, but he could still hear everything that was happening in the living room clearly.
Although the He family didn't explicitly say they accepted Han Yixian, they also didn't clearly object, which made Huo Xicheng's heart sink. It seemed that in the end, it still depended on Du Yuhan's decision.
He had to take action. He couldn't just admit defeat and hand Du Yuhan over to Han Yixian.
