Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 228
Han Qingshan was also smiling brightly; he wanted the world to know that this woman was his and that they were together.
They could not get married yet, and thus Han Qingshan could not stake his claim on Jiang Yingyue to the public, but now he could show the family that they were together at least.
Jiang Yingyue was only eighteen; there were still two years before she could get married.
Even Han Qingshan had two years before he too could get married, as the law stated that a woman needed to be twenty and a man twenty-two before they could get married.
Although he could not claim her as his own in marriage yet, he could at least introduce her to his family members and slowly make the entire world aware that he had a woman by his side, a woman he would never let go.
While Han Qingshan was feeling ecstatic about Jiang Yingyue being introduced to his family, Jiang Yingyue was suddenly reminded of someone.
“Will Tang Meixing be there too?” she asked a little hesitantly. Although she was part of their family, she had caused problems for Jiang Yingyue more than once, and she was not happy to even see her.
Noticing that Han Qingshan’s face turned dark and that Jiang Yingyue looked a little pressured, Yan Meilin instantly guessed that something was not as it was supposed to be.
“What did that silly girl do?” she asked, not sure about how dangerous her actions were.
“When Yingyue still lived as Fengmian, she was injured by a car. She was chased out of my condo by Tang Meixing, without her purse, and without her medication. She even broke her phone,” Han Qingshan said through gnashing teeth.
“Later on, she came to force her to leave me, she was insulting, and her language was repulsive. She was willing to do anything to chase her out of the condo.
“I understand that she is willful and considers me her older brother, but that does not give her the right to interfere with my things, nor does it give her the right to insult Yingyue the way she did.”
Yan Meilin’s face had also gotten ugly upon hearing the words of Han Qingshan, and she was deep in thought.
“We should invite her and make her understand that we, the main family, support you with Yingyue.” Yan Meilin’s eyes were serious when she spoke.
Han Qinghan considered for some time but then nodded his head. “Many of our uncles, cousins, and so on will be unhappy to hear that I have found a girlfriend from a humble background,” he analyzed, “so let us use this occasion and make all of them understand that she is the one we have picked.”
Jiang Yingyue knew that the Han family was massive. It consisted of many branches, but it was Han Qingshan’s father, Han Liqiang, who was the head of the family, and the heir to the family was Han Qingshan.
There were some internal conflicts in the family, but because all of them had their own jobs at the upper ranks in the company, and all branches owned some stocks from the company, the family was somewhat calm.
But many wished to be the one to matchmake Han Qingshan. Not with their own family members, as that would be incest, but with their connections, so that they could benefit as much as possible.
Han Qingshan had always been polite to the other members of the family, but he had never followed their ideas, and he could guess that many of them would be unhappy if they knew that he had picked a girlfriend with no background who couldn’t help their company advance.
Even though the words did not sound good, Jiang Yingyue never doubted if it was okay for her to be together with Han Qingshan.
They loved one another, and there was no space for anyone else in their relationship. Even though she wasn’t able to help him with his business, she could still help him with making him happy, helping him relax, and feel loved whenever he was down or stressed from work.
“Well then, I am off,” Han Qingshan said smilingly and left the house.
Yan Meilin also impatiently waved him away so that she could focus on Jiang Yingyue. Looking her over, she found that she was wearing a retro dress in burgundy; her hair was tied in a bun on top of her head and her feet held a pair of black stilettos.
She was not wearing any jewelry, but she was exquisite and so beautiful that Yan Meilin felt she would be ideal as a model.
But she understood that her dream was to become a psychiatrist, and thus she said nothing about her thoughts.
“Little Yue, why don’t we go in and get a cup of tea first? After tea, I will take you shopping at the mallto the shopping mall.”
Nodding her head, Jiang Yingyue followed behind Yan Meilin. The two of them chatted a lot; they talkedit was about everything, their lives, how she was doing, and her future plans.
Jiang Yingyue could not help but smile as she spoke with Yan Meilin. It was as if she was a friend rather than aher mother-in-law; there was great chemistry between both of them.
Just as they were talking, an elderly man appeared in the front door, and Jiang Yingyue instantly tensed. It was Han Qingshan’s grandfather, Han Weisheng.
Seeing her, he was also stunned, but then happiness spread in his eyes.
“Little girl, you blew up the Mu family’s house, right?” he asked right away, and Jiang Yingyue was surprised by his sudden excitement about her.
