After leaving the Jian family, Han Yixian went to the He family's house, where He Chenglin happened to be home. He Chenglin had work to do today, so he didn't go to Laohewan Village.
When he saw Han Yixian arrive, he asked, "Why didn't you go to find Yuhan? Why did you come to the compound?"
Han Yixian said, "Yesterday, Uncle Jian Xiaolin called me and invited me to his house today. I was thinking of going to Laohewan Village after leaving the Jian family's house. I also managed to get you two bottles of good wine, so I brought them over."
He Chenglin happily accepted the two bottles of Xifeng liquor handed to him by Han Yixian and said, "Good liquor is hard to come by these days. Don't tell your aunt that she brought me some. She doesn't let me drink too much."
Han Yixian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell. But you really can't drink too much, Auntie is worried about your health."
He Chenglin put the two bottles of Xifeng liquor down and said, "I didn't expect you to know Jian Xiaolin. Why didn't you stay long? You came out so quickly. There's nothing wrong with Yuhan, so you don't need to rush over."
Han Yixian smiled wryly and said, "I didn't think much of it when Uncle Jian invited me to his house today. But when I got there, I sensed something was off. His daughter was there too, and he kept steering the conversation toward her. Aunt Luo kept praising her daughter, and that's when I realized something was wrong."
I then realized I'd been set up on a blind date without my knowledge. So I explained the situation clearly and left.
Upon hearing that the Jian family wanted to poach their daughter, He Chenglin immediately glared and said, "What? They want to introduce their daughter to you? That's outrageous! Didn't you tell them you have a boyfriend?"
Han Yixian quickly said, "As soon as I realized something was wrong, I told them I had a boyfriend. They were very surprised to hear that Yuhan was my boyfriend. Aunt Luo even tried her best to belittle Yuhan, but I shut her down. I didn't care whether she was an elder or not; saying anything bad about Yuhan was unacceptable."
I told Uncle Jian that Yuhan is my life, and I won't tolerate anyone slandering her. So I only stayed a little while before saying goodbye and coming to your place.”
Han Yixian chose to tell his future father-in-law the truth because he was afraid that the He family would find out about this from other places and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
He Chenglin was furious when he heard Luo Minjuan belittle his daughter. "Hmph, she has ridiculously high standards for finding a partner for her daughter Jian Chunhua. She thinks her daughter is so good that she's spoiled for choice."
Jian Chunhua, like her mother, had extremely high standards and was spoiled. She searched for two years and couldn't find anyone she liked.
Oh, it's not that I didn't like any of them; I did like Zhendong and Xicheng. But they rejected me. Jian Chunhua is older than both of them, and with that kind of personality, of course the two boys wouldn't be interested.
The Jian family is really something else. What do they consider their daughter? They're so picky. Of course, they wouldn't let go of a rich and handsome son-in-law like you.
Let me remind you, Jian Xiaolin is alright; he's a decent, upright person. But his wife, Luo Minjuan, is a different story. She's vain, greedy for wealth, and selfish. Her daughter isn't much better off either, raised by her mother.
Luo Minjuan and Jian Chunhua might not give up. You need to be careful not to fall into their trap, and don't let them hurt Yuhan. However, I doubt the Jian family would dare to act rashly against my daughter.”
Han Yixian quickly said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will never let them have a chance to hurt Yuhan."
He Chenglin nodded and said, "Aren't you going to Laohewan? Then go quickly. I have something to do today, so I won't be going this weekend."
After reporting to his future father-in-law, Han Yixian headed towards Laohewan Village.
After seeing Han Yixian off, Jian Xiaolin returned to his room and saw Jian Chunhua crying.
His wife comforted him, saying, "Chunhua, don't cry. Han Yixian and He Yuhan aren't married yet. We still have a chance. I believe Han Yixian will see your good qualities."
Jian Xiaolin yelled at Luo Minjuan, "Shut up, you stupid woman! I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you've already misled Chunhua again. What kind of things did you just say? You think belittling He Yuhan makes your daughter seem superior? That will only make Han Yi see your low character first. Because of a mother-in-law like you, he won't want your daughter."
What kind of family is the Han family? They are a prestigious and influential clan with a long and distinguished history. Han Yixian was personally raised and educated by the Han family patriarch. With a person of such low character as you, they wouldn't even deign to associate with you, let alone marry your daughter.
Do you know how high Han Yixian's standards are? So many young ladies from prestigious families in Kyoto didn't catch his eye back then. Could He Yuhan, whom he's set his sights on, be an ordinary girl?
And what you've done is this! You haven't even done anything wrong, yet you've already belittled her and dragged her into the mess with Gu Qishen. Aren't you just slapping Han Yixian in the face?
Let me tell you, whether our daughter can marry Han Yixian is secondary. The most important thing is that we can't offend Han Yixian; it won't do us any good.
And don't forget, He Yuhan is the youngest daughter of the He family. Her whole family cherishes her, yet you've belittled her like this. Aren't you afraid the He family will come after you?
"Chunhua and Han Yixian's relationship is over, so don't even think about it anymore. Han Yixian said He Yuhan is his life, which shows how much he values her. You two better watch yourselves and don't cause me any trouble."
Luo Minjuan said, "Isn't this all for our daughter and our family? How can our daughter, who is so outstanding, be inferior to He Yuhan? Besides, wouldn't it be of great benefit to our family if our daughter married Han Yixian? It's a win-win situation, so why can't I try to win her over?"
The youngest daughter of the He family is very mysterious. She rarely appears in the compound, and not long after returning, she went to the countryside. I've never met her. Maybe she's not all that great.
You've barely done anything yet and you're already boosting others' morale and diminishing your own.
I think Han Yixian is a fickle man. He said he would never marry again, but his fiancée died not long ago, and he's already set his sights on another one. Because of him, I don't think we'd feel comfortable letting our daughter marry him.
"Men are all the same. Chunhua, I think you'd better not choose him. A man like that is unreliable."
Jian Chunhua wiped away her tears, raised her head, and said, "Dad, I've fallen for Han Yixian. I feel that only a man like him is worthy of me. For your daughter's happiness, please think of a way for me. Dad, I beg you."
Jian Xiaolin said, "You've been assimilated by your mother now, and you're only thinking about finding someone with good conditions. But good conditions don't necessarily mean they're right for you. You should listen to your mother less in the future. If it weren't for your mother, you wouldn't have such high standards and not be able to find anyone you like."
Dad's a man, and I advise you to stop thinking about Han Yixian. He won't be interested in you. You can't force things; he won't appreciate you if you're too eager.
"Dad will find you a better young man in the future, and I guarantee you'll marry well."
