Chapter 941 A Helpful Suggestion
Yan's mother returned from abroad in a week, so time was very tight.
Hearing He Jing say that, she felt even more that she was making things difficult for He Zhou, and added, "It's okay, Third Brother, you can do it well if you want to. I'll wear it next time."
However, He Zhou interrupted her abruptly: "I will take care of it and will airlift it to you as quickly as possible."
He Jing: "Uh..."
He Zhou asked, "Did Young Master Yan propose to you?"
Given He Jing's personality, she wouldn't have come to him for help unless she absolutely valued this matter.
After thinking it over, only the two things that fit her situation are receiving a super important award and giving a speech on stage, and Yan Hanxi proposing to her.
But he kept an eye on her activities, and no research awards were awarded.
He Jing paused, somewhat embarrassed, not expecting He Zhou to be so perceptive.
Although he guessed wrong, the truth was not far off from what he said.
“It’s Mrs. Yan who wants to see me,” He Jing said softly. “So, she wants to be more formal.”
Surprisingly, He Zhou didn't get angry or mock him. Instead, he said, word by word:
"Don't be too nervous when meeting the parents. Although the Yan family is very rich, the He family is not bad either. We are now a good match for the Yan family."
"I will make you a white dress to make you look gentle and quiet, and I will also give you a set of pearl jewelry to highlight your temperament. When you walk and talk, you should walk and talk a little slower so that the other person can appreciate your refinement. Of course, you don't have to be too deliberate."
"Finally, if Madam Yan is difficult to get along with, or if she looks down on you and speaks ill of you, do not tolerate it just because she is an elder. Say what needs to be said, and do not be afraid of damaging your image. After all, you can tolerate it for a while, but not forever."
He paused for a moment, then added, "He Jing, I wish you a pleasant meeting with your parents. Let me know the result afterward."
He Jing felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "I understand, Third Brother. I will never bring shame to the He family."
He Zhou earnestly corrected her: "It's not that I don't want to embarrass the He family, it's that I try my best not to let others criticize me, otherwise you will be sad."
He Jing was completely speechless, her eyes stung with tears, and she sobbed, "My brother is so good."
Finally, she couldn't help but ask He Zhou about his situation abroad, to which He Zhou replied perfunctorily, "So-so."
He recently encountered a group of difficult foreign chefs who would provoke him every now and then, forcing him to go through all the trouble of coming to this forest to select ingredients. But He Jing didn't need to know the details of these things.
Finally, the two hung up the phone. He Jing was satisfied and replied to Yan Hanxi.
Yan Hanxi received a definite reply and then sent it back to his mother.
Yan's mother enthusiastically discussed with Yan Hanxi: "Son, what do you think of me wearing the school uniform that made your dad swoon back then? I heard Jingjing was the school beauty, so I'll try to adopt that style and get closer to her."
"..." Yan Hanxi felt that this might not be to close the distance, but rather to make her look younger, but he always respected women's freedom of dress. "Mom, whatever makes you happy."
"Judging from your tone, you're not entirely satisfied?"
Yan Mu rested her chin on her hand in deep thought, forgetting even to speak her dialect, as she kept thinking about what kind of image she should present on stage.
Yan Hanxi said, "Mom, I remember you have a pearl bracelet that you haven't worn in a long time, right? The one that was fished out of the deep sea."
Yanmu exclaimed "Eh?" and asked, "What, does Jingjing like pearls?"
"No, you're giving this to your future mother-in-law as a gift because your son accidentally gave this bracelet away for you."
Yan's mother was immediately touched by his filial piety: "Son, you really know how to pick things! I personally went diving to retrieve those from the sea!"
Yan Hanxi laughed and said, "Jingjing and I will go diving another day and catch another one for you."
The ending of the previous chapter was stuck and couldn't be connected to the new chapter, so I've removed it. (Private Marseille!)
