Han Junche actually had an impression of Yin Xiangdong, and the impression was quite deep.
It wasn't because I had any interaction with him, but because I often heard his name from his mother, Qiu Xuelian.
In a way, Yin Xiangdong should be considered to have done Qiu Xuelian a favor.
When Qiu Xuelian married Han Zheng, it was not blessed by either set of parents. The reason why the Qiu family disagreed was that Han Zheng, who held such a high position, did not allow his immediate family members to engage in business. Qiu Xuelian was the only daughter in the Qiu family, and if she did not go into business, then no one would be able to take over the Qiu family's business.
The Han family disagreed not because they looked down on businessmen, but because they felt that his status as a businessman would cause trouble for Han Zheng's career.
But Qiu Xuelian and Han Zheng fell in love and secretly got married despite all the objections.
When Han Zheng submitted his marriage application, he went directly to the President of the Empire and made a solemn promise to him before the application was approved.
Logically speaking, such a passionate love should last until death and be eternal.
Qiu Xuelian is strong-willed and has the personality of a career woman, while Han Zheng, having held a high position for a long time, is also a person who has the final say.
After Qiu Xuelian got married, she had no way to start her own business. It would only lower her status as the only daughter of the Qiu family, which was impossible. So she could only be a kept woman.
For a short time, love could sustain them, but as time went on, especially after giving birth to Han Junche, Qiu Xuelian began to feel the strain.
The conflict gradually became apparent, and finally, when Han Junche was three years old, Qiu Xuelian insisted on getting a divorce.
Han Zheng's love for Qiu Xuelian did not diminish, but he knew Qiu Xuelian's pride and would not allow her to become a kept woman. Because of his profession, Han Junche was almost raised by Qiu Xuelian alone, so he gave up custody and divorced Qiu Xuelian.
After her divorce, Qiu Xuelian did not reconcile with her family but instead started her own business.
A divorced woman with a child faces numerous difficulties despite Han Zheng's quiet help.
At that time, Yin Xiangdong, the mayor of S City, helped Qiu Xuelian a lot, and the two established a deep friendship. With Yin Xiangdong's help, Qiu Xuelian's business grew bigger and bigger.
At first, Han Junche suspected that Yin Xiangdong wanted to become his stepfather, but after so many years, Yin Xiangdong was still Yin Xiangdong and Qiu Xuelian was still Qiu Xuelian. Gradually, Han Junche was able to put his mind at ease.
It was precisely because of this relationship that Qiu Xuelian dragged him to the hospital in the dead of night, forcing him to agree.
Yin Xiangdong smiled gently at Han Junche: "I just wanted to chat with you for a bit. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and I've only heard your mother mention you often."
Han Junche frowned, suddenly feeling that things were getting a bit tricky. If it were just Yin Wanrou, it would be fine, but now that Yin Xiangdong was involved, kicking her out would make him seem ungrateful.
So he nodded: "Okay."
Yin Xiangdong led Han Junche into the house, then turned to Yin Wanrou and said, "Go out for a walk first, and come back after I finish talking with Xiao Han."
Yin Wanrou was unwilling, but Yin Xiangdong did not give her a choice: "Be obedient and get out."
Yin Wanrou knows Yin Xiangdong too well. He dotes on her, but he never allows her to disobey him on certain matters.
So she could only leave the house reluctantly.
