Sitting on the back of her daughter's bicycle, Liu Jingzhi said, "Qingya, I think it's still early. Your dad probably hasn't gotten off work yet. Let's go to the post office and call him to tell him I've arrived, so he can rest assured."
Yan Qingya said, "Okay, let's go to the post office first."
Upon arriving at the post office, Liu Jingzhi made a phone call to Yan Zhonghuai's workplace.
At this moment, Yan Zhonghuai was also waiting for his wife's call, feeling heavy-hearted and agitated.
Just today, my second son got into trouble. He made a mistake at work and was held accountable. Not only was he removed from his position as workshop team leader, but he was also reassigned to another post.
Yan Zhonghuai inquired and learned that this was done intentionally by someone. He also knew that this was a warning from his family, telling him to do as they instructed as soon as possible.
Yan Zhonghuai suspected that this was not only the work of the Kyoto main family, but also the covert operation of other forces. He felt that the Kyoto main family's reach was not that far-reaching, and that the main family must have colluded with other forces.
If that's the case, then our side is even less able to resist. Our family has no connection with the Han family, and asking the Han family for help is unrealistic. Perhaps in the end, we can only compromise and have our daughter help us find out information about the Han family.
But this was the last resort, because he didn't want to challenge the Han family's bottom line.
He was waiting for his wife's call so he could tell her about it and have her talk to their daughter. He felt utterly useless and could only pin his hopes on his daughter.
After receiving Liu Jingzhi's call, Yan Zhonghuai told her about his second son.
Liu Jingzhi was both anxious and angry when she heard this. "How could they do this? Didn't they say they would give us time?"
Yan Zhonghuai said, "This is their warning to us, to force us to compromise. Jingzhi, I'm so useless, I have no way to fight them."
With red eyes, Liu Jingzhi said, "We're just ordinary people, how could we possibly have the strength to fight them? Our family has never treated us like family. Let me discuss it with my daughter and see what we can do. I'll call you again tomorrow."
Yan Zhonghuai said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your call at work tomorrow. Don't make things too difficult for our daughter. It's all my fault for being incompetent."
Yan Qingya knew something was wrong at home just by looking at her mother, and she was very anxious. However, she couldn't ask her in detail while they were out.
The mother and daughter arrived at Yan Qingya's residence. After entering the house, Yan Qingya closed the door, pulled her mother to sit on the bed, and asked, "Mom, has something happened at home?"
With red eyes, Liu Jingzhi said, "A few days ago, people from the main family in Kyoto came to see your father."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingya frowned and asked, "The main family in Kyoto? We haven't been in contact with them for so many years, why are they looking for my father?"
Liu Jingzhi held her daughter's hand and said, "It all started because you met and became friends with the Han family."
Yan Qingya said, "How would someone from my own family know about my situation? And what does this have to do with me making friends?"
Liu Jingzhi said, "Your father and I suspect that the main family in Kyoto has been keeping an eye on the Han family. The Han family you know used to be a famous and powerful family in Kyoto. It is said that at its peak, the Han family was incredibly wealthy, with countless assets. I don't know how many people coveted the Han family's wealth."
Later, the Han family donated almost all of their wealth to support the country, and gradually faded into obscurity. However, many people believed that the Han family couldn't have donated all their assets and must have had a lot left over. Therefore, many people kept an eye on the Han family, trying to find out their true financial situation.
Although the Han family has faded into obscurity, they are still a large and powerful clan with deep roots. They retain many of their influence. Those who covet the Han family's wealth will find it extremely difficult to obtain information about them, let alone move into their territory.
Now that you've become friends with the Han family's daughter-in-law, some people have set their sights on you. The main branch of the Han family in Kyoto sent someone to see your father; they want you to find out information about the Han family.
Yan Qingya was shocked by her mother's words. "Mom, how can you do this? Yuhan is my good friend, and she has taken great care of me. The Han family is the same; they have also taken good care of me. How can I betray them and do something that would be unfair to them? What kind of person would I be?"
Liu Jingzhi knew this matter was putting her daughter in a difficult position, but her family was helpless. She sobbed and said, "Your father just said on the phone that your second brother was caught wrong by his work unit, removed from his position as group leader, and reassigned to a bad job."
This is what those people are doing, forcing our family to compromise. If you don't agree, they'll resort to even harsher measures.
I know this is putting you in a difficult position. But your father and I really have no other choice.
Seeing her mother sobbing, Yan Qingya quickly hugged her shoulders and said with red eyes, "Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't ignore things at home."
Yan Qingya thought for a moment and said, "Mom, please stop crying. I have something to tell you."
Liu Jingzhi wiped away her tears, looked up at her daughter, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Qingya said somewhat shyly, "Mom, I'm dating someone."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingzhi's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "Really? Tell Mom what kind of person the man is."
Now that she had already told her mother, Yan Qingya didn't plan to hide it anymore, since she would have to tell her sooner or later anyway. "The other person is Yuhan's older brother, named He Zhenhua. Brother He is a few years older than me, and he was married before and has a son who is a few years old. His ex-wife cheated on him and almost sold the child, so they divorced. After that, Brother He has been single."
Brother He is a good catch, and many people want to introduce him to potential partners, but he hasn't been interested in finding anyone.
Liu Jingzhi was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing that he was divorced and had a child, but she also knew that it wouldn't be easy for her daughter to find a first marriage. No one doesn't want their own child.
She asked, "Does he know about your situation?"
Yan Qingya nodded and said, "I've explained everything to him, and he doesn't care. He said he has a son, and his younger brother has also had a child, so he doesn't have any pressure to have children. Even if I can't have children, it doesn't matter. The He family won't care about this either."
Liu Jingzhi said, "So he only has this one son in his entire life?"
Yan Qingya said, "Brother He said one child is enough. Mom, Brother He's son is only a few years old, very cute, and he likes me very much. If I want to get married, Brother He's conditions are undoubtedly the best."
After all, he already has children, so it doesn't matter if I can't have any. It puts my mind at ease. We can raise the child together as if it were our own.
The main reason is that Brother He is a very good person, and his family is also very kind. I think you will definitely like the He family after you meet them.”
Yan Qingya then gave a detailed introduction to the He family's situation, especially their relationship with He Yuhan. They might become sisters-in-law in the future, so there was no need to worry about their interactions.
