Mr. He and Mother He were initially a bit reserved.
But Gu Wanqing was someone who could quickly start a conversation with them.
Seeing Xinyan come out, she waved and said, "Yanyan, come over."
Today, Xinyan was wearing black straight-leg pants, a camel turtleneck sweater, and semi-high heeled leather shoes. Her porcelain-like skin, nourished by Space Stream Water, was simply mesmerizing.
As she approached, she greeted the He Family with a smile before sitting next to Gu Wanqing.
Afterwards, Han Jingchen, Su Aihong, Han Chunxue, and Sun Baowei also joined in to chat.
Both Han Jingheng and Sun Baowei had served in the military in the East Province, so they quickly found common ground with the men of the He Family.
Seeing how engaged they were in conversation, Han Jingchen took He Jinxuan and Xinyan elsewhere to introduce them to the family and friends who had gathered today.
Since Xinyan was willing, the parents could only offer their unconditional support and naturally make plans for them. Taking advantage of today being a good occasion, it was the perfect opportunity to expand their network.
His partner Yue Yiming was also present today. Seeing him with his daughter and son-in-law, he remarked, "Oh, the young man looks quite spirited."
After exchanging pleasantries with He Jinxuan, he continued, "I heard you work at the city transportation team?"
He Jinxuan nodded in response, "Yes."
Yue Yiming patted He Jinxuan’s shoulder, "Young man, you’re lucky. You must treat our Yanyan well."
He Jinxuan looked at Xinyan beside him and nodded firmly, making a promise, "I will."
No fancy words were needed; the two looked into each other’s eyes, full of tenderness.
After introducing them to everyone, Han Jingchen brought the two back to join the He Family.
The engagement had already been discussed with He Jinxuan beforehand.
Today, the He Family came mainly for a formality, so both families quickly reached an agreement.
As for the engagement gifts, in addition to fine cigarettes, good wine, premium tea, rice, flour, meat, and oil, there was also a bride price of eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan and a pair of Vacheron Constantin couple watches.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t give more, but they wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, which was planned from the start.
Since the engagement banquet was at a restaurant, Han Jingchen arranged two minibuses in advance.
When the time was almost right, Han Chaoyang and his brothers called everyone to board the buses to the reserved restaurant.
By the time they arrived at the restaurant, some family and friends were already there waiting, greeting them warmly before they all took their seats.
Most of the ingredients for today’s meal were provided by Xinyan, who mentioned she knew someone who could supply them.
The result was that many people could not forget the meal due to the outstanding flavors of the dishes.
After the engagement banquet ended, the He Family left directly from the restaurant.
Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing placed the prepared return gifts in their car.
When they got home and opened them, they were stunned. The men’s gifts were exclusive cigarettes and wine, which were not easy to come by.
For the women, each received a wool coat, and for the children, in addition to some unique snacks, each got a red envelope.
The eldest of the He Family looked at his brother, "Jinxuan, aren’t these return gifts too lavish? If we accept them, it might be inappropriate, right?"
He Jinxuan was also surprised by the return gifts. The cigarettes and wine were one thing, but the wool coats for each of the ladies must have cost a pretty penny.
He didn’t know that these clothes were designed by Xinyan herself and commissioned to Lin Kaixin’s factory. They had an agreement that the designs would be considered a friendly gift, but the condition was that they wouldn’t be sold publicly until after October next year.
