He Zhilan shook her head, "Of course I know how good you guys have been to me, but my second brother can be just as stubborn as my elder brother. He wouldn’t accept charity easily, so it’s only when our He Family becomes wealthy on its own that he would consider coming to the capital."
"Why don’t you go and have a chat with Lihua tomorrow, and see if she could help you get some supplies from the estate owners. Who knows, our country’s wealthy people love foreign goods. Once they hear something is foreign, they might just fight over it!" Lin Chan laughed.
"It needs to be useful!" He Zhilan laughed lightly, "However, ever since the Shang Cunshu incident, people in our country have become much more cautious of foreign goods."
"That’s only a small portion. Look at my maternal aunts and cousins who travel abroad, they never seem to come back empty handed." Lin Chan replied, "It’s good that you have your own goals. Things have changed a lot from before. It’s good for a woman to have her own career ambitions. If it’s not too much, my company can allocate some funds for you. If you need more, I can help you get a loan from the bank."
He Zhilan looked at Lin Chan with almost tearful gratitude, and flung herself at him, "I’m so touched! Thank you Lin Chan!"
"Hey, hey, sit back down, can’t you see I’m driving? If there’s a car crash, you’re responsible! If you want to hug me, wait until we’re back at the Lin Family. " Even though Lin Chan chided He Zhilan, he grinned the entire time and said, "I can see you brightened up after going home. You’re livelier."
"Really? Maybe it’s because I feel lighter now," He Zhilan smiled, "My second brother returned, and the He family has been reunited. Hearing the news about He Teng was stressful, but now I know I’m not doing everything alone and it’s a relief. He Teng, he always keeps to himself and refuses to share his feelings, but I can tell that he’s not indifferent to me."
"You can tell even though he keeps to himself?" Lin Chan chuckled lightly at what He Zhilan said, "I’ve told you before, however hard He Mutou is to chew, his loyalty to you is unchanging, even after divorce. Believe it or not, even if he’s single now, if a beautiful woman threw herself naked on his bed, he wouldn’t spare her a glance."
"I bet he would unceremoniously throw her out, unless that woman is me," He Zhilan laughed triumphantly, "I’ve found teasing my brother is really fun, I’ll try it out when there’s a chance."
"That’s enough, ever since you got involved with He Mutou, your skin’s been getting thicker!" Lin Chan teased.
"Isn’t it thanks to your wonderful guidance, brother? I have surpassed my teacher, you must admit defeat now right?" He Zhilan stuck her tongue out cheekily. Once the car stopped, she quickly got out.
"Admit defeat? Why on earth wouldn’t I?" Lin Chan muttered softly as he followed behind her, "She’s getting more and more eloquent, which could be good or bad. I can’t even win an argument against her now, I wonder how He Mutou copes with it. But, at least she’s starting to show some of her old spunk."
As soon as the two of them walked through the door, Lin’s mother poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Miss Zhilan, you’re back?"
