He Yuhan knew that her mother was almost heartbroken about her second brother's marriage. Now that she knew her second brother had someone he liked, she couldn't help but worry that the girl didn't like her second brother.
She quickly comforted her mother, saying, "I don't think there's anything wrong between them. My second brother used to go to Uncle Liang's house often, maybe he had a crush on Jingyun back then. I saw Jingyun and her brother chatting and laughing together, maybe Jingyun likes my second brother too."
My second brother is a handsome and capable young man; few girls wouldn't like him. Uncle Liang would be overjoyed if he knew my second brother was going to become the Liang family's son-in-law.
Yu Huiru was overjoyed by her daughter's words. Her son's marriage was about to be settled. How could she not be happy?
The Liang and He families have a deep friendship, and a marriage between the two families would be an even better outcome.
He Yuhan said, "Jingyun is about to graduate. You, my dad, and my second brother should discuss whether we should take some time in the next few days to visit the Liang family and talk to Uncle Liang about their marriage."
"If the two families agree, I think we should arrange for Jingyun to work in the city, so we can look after each other. After they get married, Jingyun can move in with us without affecting her work."
Yu Huiru thought her daughter made sense. "I'll discuss it with your dad when he gets home from get off work today. I'll be at ease once we've settled your second brother's marriage as soon as possible."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "I think our family will be having a happy event soon."
These words put Yu Huiru in a great mood, and she couldn't stop smiling.
After confirming their feelings for each other, He Zhendong took Liang Jingyun back to school for her classes and then drove home.
Back in the office, Huo Xicheng was waiting there. Seeing He Zhendong enter the office beaming, he asked with a smile, "How did it go? Did you succeed in confessing your feelings?"
He Zhendong grinned and said, "Of course! Jingyun has liked me for a long time, and we are mutually in love."
Huo Xicheng looked at He Zhendong's radiant and elated appearance and laughed, "Great job! You succeeded on your first try. Congratulations! Now that you've both decided on your feelings for each other, when are you going to the Liang family to propose marriage?"
He Zhendong said, "Jingyun will graduate from high school soon and is looking for a job. I plan to go home and discuss it with my family first, and see if we can find a time to send someone to the Liang family to act as matchmaker. We will then propose marriage after both families agree."
As for Jingyun, she can come to work in the city after graduation, which will allow her family to take better care of her. Even after she gets married, Jingyun can live in the compound, which won't affect her work, and I can come home more often.
Huo Xicheng laughed and said, "You've thought of everything. People with partners are just different."
He Zhendong said, “Don’t make fun of me. You should hurry up too. I heard from my mom that your mom called my mom and asked her to introduce you to someone. She said that when you went back to Beijing for the New Year, you didn’t go to meet any of the girls your family introduced you to. Your aunt was so worried that she called my mom. My mom even asked me to talk to you.”
Huo Xicheng sighed and said, "Once your marriage is settled, the pressure on me will be even greater. If my mother finds out, she'll pressure me even more. Luckily, we live far apart, so I can only make phone calls."
Huo Xicheng felt he would have to play cat and mouse with his mother from now on, trying to answer her calls as little as possible. Otherwise, his mother would nag him to death.
He really has no interest in marrying a woman he doesn't like right now. If he hasn't met a woman he likes by the time he's thirty, he'll follow his family's arrangements and get married. As for whether he likes her or not, he no longer cares.
Perhaps He Yuhan will never be erased from his heart in this lifetime, and that's something he can't control. Let nature take its course.
He Zhendong even made a special phone call to his younger sister to share his good news.
He Yuhan was also very happy, "Congratulations, Second Brother. Since Jingyun likes you too, things are much easier. I think both our parents will definitely approve of your marriage. It seems our family is really going to have another happy occasion. Now Mom can finally relax."
I won't say any more about this; you should talk to your parents yourself. That way, they can prepare for the marriage proposal in advance.
He Zhendong chuckled and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about me. Isn't my nephew well-behaved?"
He Yuhan laughed and said, "He's at the age where he can sleep now. He sleeps as soon as he's full. He's so well-behaved and doesn't make a fuss at all."
The two of them talked on the phone for a long time about their little darling, Han Xurui.
When He Chenglin returned home that evening, Yu Huiru told her husband about the good news about their second son: "Old He, you didn't expect this, did you? It turns out that our Zhendong has been keeping his girlfriend single for a long time because he already has a girl he likes."
Upon hearing this, He Chenglin asked with great curiosity, "Oh, whose daughter is she? Do we know each other?"
Yu Huiru smiled and said, "Of course you know her, she's Jingyun from Shouzheng's family."
He Chenglin was overjoyed to hear this. "Really? That's wonderful! It seems I'll have to become in-laws with Shouzheng. Jingyun is a good girl, and Zhendong has some good taste."
Did Zhendong tell you this news personally?
Yu Huiru said, "No, I kept urging him to go on blind dates, but he wouldn't cooperate. So I asked Yuhan to call his second brother to persuade him. I didn't expect that as soon as Yuhan made the call, Zhendong told her the truth."
Zhendong had previously worried that Jingyun was too young and in school, which would affect her, so he always wanted to wait until she graduated before making any moves. But after Yuhan's persuasion, he immediately became anxious. Yuhan said that Zhendong would most likely resist the urge to go see Jingyun.
Ask your son again. If he makes it clear to Jingyun that the girl is willing, then we should go to the Liang family to propose marriage as soon as possible and finalize the engagement.
Once Jingyun graduates, we'll arrange a job for her in the city, and she can move in with us directly. She'll adjust after she gets married. We can also take care of Jingyun while Zhendong is away.”
