Fang Lang looked at this woman who had gone through so many vicissitudes of life but still managed to maintain her aristocratic dignity, and he couldn't help but sigh that she was a smart person.
Judging from the fact that the other party did not express his opinion proactively, he should have realized that he might have his own ideas.
Regardless of the other party's identity or intelligence, Fang Lang must give enough respect.
"Auntie, if you really want to hear my advice, I suggest you go back to the Netherlands first, and I will buy a farm for you there.
This is my gift to you on behalf of Audrey, in return for your raising her.
When the situation in the Netherlands stabilizes, or when you miss Audrey, you can come to Brazil to be with us, and I will buy you a property in Brazil.
All of these can be preserved as the Hemstra family's assets forever, what do you think?"
Fang Lang's words did make Hepburn's mother a little moved. If there was a chance to return to the Netherlands, she would certainly be willing to do so. After all, that was where he was born and grew up.
More importantly, Fang Lang told him that these could continue to exist as the Hemstra family's assets, which was equivalent to supporting his father's family again.
...
...
Although he could not inherit the titles of his father and brother, he could at least maintain the existence of the Hemstra family.
Before Hepburn's mother could answer, Audrey Hepburn, who had been holding Fang Lang's arm and seemed to be angry with her mother, spoke softly:
"Lang, I can't bear to be separated from my mother."
Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed dumbly, patted the other person's arm that was around him and said:
"No one can separate you. If you want to be with your aunt, we can take her to Brazil. When we have children in the future, she can help us take care of them. What do you think?"
When Audrey Hepburn heard Fang Lang suddenly change the topic to having children, she couldn't stand it and her cheeks turned red with shame.
But he didn't refute, he just lowered his head even lower.
Hepburn's mother, who was sitting on another sofa, slowly said:
"I want to go back to the Netherlands for a while. Audrey has grown up and she should have her own life.
I will feel relieved if I can successfully raise him to adulthood and hand him over to you.
The Netherlands is my home. Although my father, mother, brother and other relatives are no longer with us, since there is an opportunity to keep the Heemstra family going, I feel that I have an obligation to contribute something to this family.
Just like what you said, Fang Lang, if I miss you, or you miss me, you can always come to the Netherlands to see me, and I can always go to Brazil to visit you."
After hearing her mother's words, Audrey Hepburn raised her head from Fang Lang's arm and looked at her mother in disbelief, with her eyes slightly red.
Hepburn's mother also looked at the other person with tenderness. After the two looked at each other for a while, Hepburn's mother smiled lovingly and said:
"Audrey, you have grown up and found your home now. Mom is very happy and wishes you the best.
Now your lover is willing to help our Hemstra family get back on their feet. Mom wants to do something for your grandpa and uncle, so I hope you can support Mom, okay?"
The mother and daughter who were just quarreling broke the rift in an instant. Audrey stood up from Fang Lang's side, walked to her mother's side and gently hugged her, without saying a word, but crying silently.
Obviously, he didn't want to be separated from his mother.
Seeing the looks of the mother and daughter, Fang Lang said with a smile:
"Why do I feel like I did something wrong?"
Hepburn's mother looked at Fang Lang with tears in her eyes, patted her daughter's arm and said:
"You didn't do anything wrong. I'm happy. Audrey is lucky to meet a good man like you. It's also lucky for our family."
After saying that, he turned to look at Audrey who was holding him, and slowly said:
“You are lucky that the man you chose is very generous and dotes on you.
However, as a mother, I still want to warn you that you can't be spoiled. I know your dream is to be able to perform ballet on the best stage.
But Fang Lang's identity is extraordinary. If people knew that his woman is a ballet dancer, it would be a joke and cause criticism.
As his woman, you cannot just care about your own feelings, you also have to consider the impact on your man.
Mom is not against you continuing to dance ballet, but she doesn't agree with you going on stage to perform for others. The most beautiful dance should be presented to the people who love you the most, right?
I think you can practice hard and then perform it for Fang Lang alone."
Audrey Hepburn didn't expect her mother to bring up the topic of her ballet dancing. She felt a little resistant for a moment, but after hearing the end, she unconsciously felt that it made some sense.
Seeing that her daughter did not object this time, Hepburn's mother smiled with satisfaction.
He patted Audrey Hepburn's arm around him and continued to speak to Fang Lang:
“It turns out that I also wanted to stop Audrey from being with you, but obviously I failed. I hope you won’t blame me.
I am very grateful that you can help the Heemstra family to regain their foothold in the Netherlands. Although our family has declined, we still have some relatives and friends in the Netherlands.
If you need me for anything, please don't hesitate. I will do my best to repay your help to our Hemstra family."
Fang Lang was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that his future mother-in-law was so smart and could see at a glance that he wanted to make some arrangements in the Netherlands.
But these were just temporary ideas after hearing about the Dutch noble background of my future mother-in-law's family. There was no complete plan. Now I didn't know where to start, so I nodded to the other party tacitly and said:
"This is what I should do. Audrey is an angel. It is my luck that our love has your blessing. Don't worry, I will not let Audrey suffer any injustice.
As for what I need help with, I haven't thought of it yet, but if there is, I will be polite."
Audrey Hepburn, who was standing aside, saw that the two had already determined their future after a few words. Although it was her own choice, she still pouted her lips slightly in dissatisfaction and snorted:
"Humph! I'm not going to pay attention to you guys!"
Although he said this, he did not leave. Instead, he let go of the gesture of hugging his mother and sat next to her.
How could Hepburn's mother not understand the little girl's thoughts? She smiled and grabbed the little girl's hand and said:
"Fang Lang is already very tired. Have you decided where to let him rest tonight?"
When Audrey Hepburn first heard this, she was a little unresponsive. But when she saw the smile on her mother's face, she quickly understood the meaning of her mother's words.
Her cheeks instantly blushed, and she looked at her mother unwillingly and said:
"Mom, what are you talking about! This is Fang Lang's own home. He can rest wherever he wants. How can I make the decision for him?"
Fang Lang, who was standing by, also smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Audrey Hepburn:
"You are the mistress of this house. You certainly have the right to decide where I rest."
Audrey Hepburn obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to be so shameless. She directly pushed the choice back to her. Hearing this, she snorted at Fang Lang with dissatisfaction:
"Humph! You can rest wherever you want. I want to sleep with my mother tonight."
Fang Lang burst into laughter when he heard this. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to hug Audrey Hepburn to rest. But after talking so much with Audrey and her daughter tonight and formally confirming their relationship, he was not in a hurry.
Moreover, he could see that the reason why Hepburn's mother suddenly brought up this topic was because she wanted Hepburn not to sleep with Fang Lang tonight and took the opportunity to explain some things to Hepburn.
As for what exactly happened, Fang Lang didn't care. He believed that since the other party had decided to hand Audrey Hepburn over to him, he would definitely not do anything bad behind her back.
Therefore, he very cooperatively gave the choice back to Audrey Hepburn. Given the shyness of the little girl, she would definitely follow her mother's script.
In addition, a lot of things did happen today, and Fang Lang also wanted to think carefully about what to do next, especially this force hiding in the dark in the Navy Department, and whether there is support from other people behind it.
He needs to think carefully about how he should respond and what dangers it will cause.
He also had to think carefully about what industries in the Netherlands were worth investing in and how to proceed. At least, he could think of Philips, a company that became famous in later generations. He wondered if he could take advantage of the opportunity to acquire it, as it was a company that started out as a light bulb manufacturer.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang smiled and nodded to Hepburn's mother, then stood up and left, leaving the space to the mother and daughter.
"Is our room on the second floor? Then I'll go upstairs to wash up and rest."
After saying that, he winked at Audrey and said:
"See you tomorrow, my girl."
Seeing that Fang Lang was really going to go upstairs to rest, Audrey Hepburn felt reluctant to let him go. She mustered up the courage to stand up, walked to Fang Lang, put her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips against his.
Fang Lang certainly would not refuse such a gift that was delivered to his doorstep, and he gave the little girl a warm response. He did not let her go until she became weak all over and could not stand steadily.
As for Hepburn's mother, she seemed to have become a transparent person and did not make any comments, as if the two of them did not exist.
Just as Fang Lang was about to leave with satisfaction, Audrey Hepburn put her mouth close to Fang Lang's ear again and said in a voice as light as a mosquito:
"I'll keep you company tomorrow night!"
After saying that, he escaped from Fang Lang's arms like a little rabbit and hid back beside his mother.
Although her voice was low, Fang Lang could easily hear it with his hearing. He was naturally full of expectations for this, and nodded to Hepburn's mother with a smile on his face, then smiled at Audrey Hepburn, turned around and left.
Audrey Hepburn didn't know whether Fang Lang heard clearly what she just said. She felt a little expectant and worried. When she saw Fang Lang's smile towards her, she felt that there was some deep meaning in it.
The whole person was a little worried. Seeing this, Hepburn's mother smiled and shook her head, patted her daughter's arm and said:
"Let's pack up and get ready for bed. I have a lot to say to you tonight."
Audrey Hepburn was stunned when she heard this. Didn't I choose to sleep with you? Why did you seem to be prepared and tell me that you had a lot to say?
