Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Sooner or later, there will be grandchildren
A group of people were discussing going to celebrate, crowding around Su Zixi as they walked toward the entrance of the hotel. As they passed through the revolving door, Su Zixi inadvertently saw Su Lianxi’s figure. She was entering the Muyun Hotel, looking anxious and hesitant.
Su Zixi was somewhat surprised. Ning Yichen was injured and lying in a hospital bed, why wasn’t Su Lianxi by his side instead of being here?
Moreover, her complexion was clearly off.
However, Su Zixi had no interest in meddling in her affairs and quickly averted her gaze after a moment of curiosity, turning her head back to continue joking with Shen Yushan.
While Su Zixi and the team members were looking for a place to celebrate, He Jingyao also returned to the He Family’s estate.
Because he was forbidden from contact with the opposite sex, He Jingyao had been living alone away from the old mansion early on, but he would return to the He Family whenever his mother called.
Liu Minjun, Mrs. He, saw her son’s motorcade approaching the mansion and showed a delighted expression. The maids had been sent out to the yard by her early on and were not allowed to come inside. After He Jingyao alighted from the car and entered the estate, she could only stay in a corner of the living room, ensuring a distance of over three meters from her son.
But this distance, at least, did not hinder conversations between mother and son.
“Jingyao,” as soon as her son sat down, Liu Minjun asked eagerly, “I heard that you searched through the entire Yanzhou City for a girl this morning, is that right?”
He Jingyao rubbed his temples and readily admitted, “Yes.”
Liu Minjun suppressed her excitement, “Is there something special about that girl?”
“Mom, just speak plainly,” said He Jingyao, helpless.
“Can you get close to her?” Liu Minjun asked eagerly, almost wishing she could pounce on him, “Don’t think about hiding it from me. This morning, I already asked Uncle Li; although he wouldn’t admit it, I could see it!”
Uncle Li had watched He Jingyao grow up, and he was more thrilled than anyone by Su Zixi’s arrival. Despite He Jingyao’s instructions to never reveal it, when Liu Minjun questioned him, his joy had unwittingly shown through.
He Jingyao knew he could not deceive his mother, so he nodded as usual.
“That’s wonderful!” Liu Minjun stood up excitedly, pacing back and forth along the sofa, “Such good news, and you were still hiding it from me! Why don’t you quickly bring that girl home to marry? From Uncle Li’s perspective, there seems to be no issue with the girl’s background or appearance, which is just perfect!”
Liu Minjun continued, “I must quickly inform your father to come back to the country to organize your wedding! You should get married as soon as possible, and if all goes well, I might be able to hold a grandchild next year!”
“Mom, don’t interfere in this matter,” He Jingyao’s cold, clear words left Liu Minjun’s enthusiasm with nowhere to go.
She widened her eyes, “Why?”
“Who marries after just a few days of acquaintance? I need to at least win her over first,” He Jingyao quirked his lip.
Liu Minjun’s mouth fell open in surprise, “She’s actually unwilling?”
Even without the He Family’s prestige, her own son was a true catch. Could there actually be a woman who wouldn’t want to marry him?
“I’m glad you have so much confidence in me,” He Jingyao smiled slightly, “Don’t worry. She will eventually be willing. And the grandchild will come eventually too.”
Liu Minjun was displeased, “Eventually? When is that? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day? I wanted you to marry Xinyu two years ago, but you never agreed; otherwise, you would already have children by now.”
He Jingyao furrowed his brow slightly, “Xia Xinyu? You haven’t promised her anything, have you?”
“Oh…” Liu Minjun suddenly showed a vexed expression, “I just assured her a few days ago that I would definitely make you marry her…”
