Soon, everyone’s conversation shifted to Xinyan.
Although Su Aihong had a carefree personality, she was actually quite attentive, so she didn’t bring up anything about Xinyan’s adoptive parents, fearing it might make the child uncomfortable. Instead, she chatted with her about Jing University.
Before long, Han Chunxue and Sun Zhenling joined in, and the conversation became lively.
Han Jingheng, the eldest uncle, wanted to join the conversation but had no opportunity. It was only then that he noticed He Jinxuan standing not far from Xinyan, and he turned to his younger brother Han Jingchen, "Who is this?"
Han Jingchen then introduced him, "This is Yanyan’s partner, He Jinxuan."
Though he didn’t want to admit it, since this is who Yanyan chose, he had to support her.
Han Jingheng had heard from his younger brother before, and honestly, he was not pleased. His niece was still so young and so outstanding, and before he even had a chance to spoil her, she was about to be taken away. Now that he saw the person, he couldn’t resist giving a rigorous questioning, putting on a full authoritative air.
He Jinxuan didn’t hide anything and straightforwardly laid everything out.
When Han Jingheng heard that He Jinxuan had served in the army, his attitude visibly improved. After a round of questioning, aside from him being much older than his niece, there were no other shortcomings.
However, he still asked one last question, "Yanyan is attending university in the Capital, and with our family here, she definitely won’t return to Sanyuan City in the future. Have you thought about your future together?"
He Jinxuan nodded seriously, "I have, and I’m already working on it. If everything goes well, things will be settled in a few days. When Yanyan starts school, I’ll go back to handle the job transfer procedures.
As for the house, a few days ago I asked a comrade to help me find a place. The procedures are already done, and it’s been transferred to Yanyan’s name, with the deed in her hands."
Everyone in the room heard He Jinxuan’s words and turned to look.
Of course, He Jinxuan mentioned the house deliberately; he wanted the Han Family to feel assured, to let them know his sincerity.
While it was a good thing, Han Jingchen and Han Jingheng’s faces darkened.
They hadn’t even agreed yet, and this kid had already acted swift and decisively, trying to tie their niece down with a house. Both men looked at Xinyan with expressions showing mixed frustration and disappointment.
But the fact was Xinyan and He Jinxuan confirmed their relationship first, and they found out afterward. Who could blame this sneaky kid? They could only look at their daughter/niece with helplessness. After exchanging a glance, they both turned to He Jinxuan, each thinking they had to drink this kid under the table tonight.
Su Aihong, on the other hand, held a favorable opinion of He Jinxuan. She could see from his eyes that he truly liked Xinyan.
After they said about as much as they could, Han Chaohui bounced in, "Where’s my sister?"
Han Jingheng, who was already in a bad mood, vented on his youngest son, "It took you forever just to move a car. You’re always so inefficient."
Han Chaohui looked bewildered and turned to his mom, mouthing, "What’s going on?"
Su Aihong, not at all bothered by the chaos, chimed in, "Exactly."
Han Chaohui didn’t expect his mom to fan the flames instead of helping him, "Are you really my mom?"
Xinyan couldn’t hold it in and burst into laughter.
Han Chaohui’s eyes lit up, "Are you Xinyan, my little sister?"
Xinyan nodded, "Hello, cousin."
Han Chaohui walked over, "Cousins are the best, knowing how to rescue a cousin in trouble. This is the power of blood ties."
Su Aihong suddenly laughed, "Son, it’s rare for you to be clever for once, knowing only your sister could save you."
