Regarding the return gifts, Xinyan had mentioned it to He Jinxuan before, but she didn’t specify the details.
She just said it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event and didn’t want to have any regrets.
At that time, he felt quite moved.
He wondered how he was lucky enough to meet someone as generous and understanding as her. Thinking about his money, apart from what was invested, the rest was with her, and he felt at ease.
Seeing these return gifts, he understood that the cigarettes and alcohol must have been prepared by his father-in-law, and these wool coats were certainly prepared by Yanyan.
Though he wasn’t close to his family, at this moment, he had to appreciate the Han Family’s arrangements.
He clearly understood the intentions of the Han Family. No matter what, the He Family should not trouble Xinyan.
He Yanqing couldn’t put down a wool coat as she tried it on: "The in-laws sure are generous."
Xinyan indeed was generous. This mid-range wool coat cost sixty or seventy yuan at the department store. All the women in the He Family received one, including the second sister-in-law who didn’t attend.
Xinyan thought that since the wool coats were sponsored by Lin Kaixin’s factory, she just drew a few sketches. Most importantly, she didn’t want the He Family to feel that He Jinxuan’s bride price was too much, and bring it up in the future as an issue.
Because, she hated trouble the most.
Looking at the joy on his family’s faces, He Jinxuan couldn’t help but recall what his father-in-law said at the engagement banquet in front of everyone today: "Since Xinyan favors you, naturally we will fulfill her wishes.
The past eighteen years without us by her side were tough for her, but Xinyan was very self-reliant, achieving today’s success through her own efforts.
My Xinyan is beautiful, generous, and wise, able to live a remarkable life without relying on anyone. Her future achievements are immeasurable. Now, I entrust our precious daughter to you, hoping you will love, protect, and cherish her for a lifetime."
After pausing, he subtly added: "No matter when, Xinyan is always the treasure in our hearts. We are always behind her, forever her strongest support."
He only fell short of explicitly saying: Because Xinyan likes you, they accepted you. If Xinyan feels unhappy for any reason, they certainly wouldn’t forgive easily.
When he heard his father-in-law’s words, he wasn’t unhappy at all. Instead, he felt happy for Xinyan. After all, her past eighteen years were really tough, and now, besides him, she also has a loving family. He was happy for her.
He Jinxuan originally wanted them to stay in Beijing for a few more days, to take them around. But they needed to hurry back to work, saying they would take the train back early the next morning.
A few of the younger ones wanted to push for it, but unfortunately, they were suppressed by the adults.
Mr. He also timely spoke up: "Let’s forget it this time, it’s too cold, and it’s inconvenient to go anywhere. When you and Xinyan marry, we’ll come again, and then you can take them around, it won’t be too late."
The main reason Mr. He didn’t agree was that he wanted the whole family to be together. No matter how useless his second son is, he’s still his son, and he can’t just let him remain in despair.
In his lifetime, he wished to see his sons resolve their differences and every family live harmoniously.
He Jinxuan saw that they were determined to leave the next day: "Then take a short rest, and I’ll take you out for a bit. Since you’ve come to Beijing, you should go out and have a look around."
Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces, Mr. He didn’t say anything else.
