Chapter 1398: Handle With Ease

It was awkward for Li Qinglang to answer that, so Han Jing said, Mother, weve only known each other for half a year and have just formalized our relations.h.i.+p two months ago. How can I get married? I havent even graduated yet!

You cant get married even after half a year? You still want to wait for graduation? Who would want you after graduation?

Mother, what are you saying? Han Shu was fuming. How could she say that about his younger sister in front of Li Qinglang? How would his younger sister gain any respect in the future?

Han Jing had described her family situation before, so Li Qinglang was not very surprised. He could tell that this older brother was sincerely concerned for his younger sister.

Li Qinglang glanced at Han Jing. The girl was trying to hold in her rage as it would not be nice to argue right now. She would definitely be upset if he was too a.s.sertive, even if she was mentally prepared for it, and had even requested him to act like that.

Li Qinglang said gently, Its getting late. Do you want to go and cook? Im hungry. Are you inviting me to stay for lunch?

Erm

Han Jing was startled.

Li Qinglang smiled gently, Surely you wont chase me off without a meal?

No of course not. This Han Jings mind went blank.

It was Han Shu who took over and said to w.a.n.g Xiaoqin, Its getting late. Go and cook. Jing Jing, go and help your sister-in-law. Mother

I wont go. The two of them can manage!

Han Shu:

Li Qinglang said to Han Jing, Go on! Ill chat with Elder Brother.

Itll be awkward for him to ask me questions if youre present.

Han Jing had no choice. Li Qinglang and her elder brother had already said so, so she could not insist on lingering here, especially when her parents also shooed her away. She had no choice but to leave with her sister-in-law, w.a.n.g Xiaoqin.

In the living room, Li Qinglang looked at Han Shu and smiled. Elder Brother, theres no need to stand on ceremony. I know youre concerned for Jing Jing. If you want to know anything, you can just ask me directly.

I I have an older sister who is much older than me. She got married long ago, and her children are in their teens. My parents are not important people. Right now, they have a little shop and run a small business.

My older sister runs a clothing company. Basically, its my older sister and brother-in-laws family that is rich. Ive lived with my brother-in-law since I was a child, and I occasionally help him.

Li Qinglangs brother-in-law was very capable. Han Shu had heard Han Jing mention that before.

This what does your brother-in-law do? Are you living together now?

He has a job in the government. I have my own place.

Han Shu was relieved. If he had his own place, then their relations.h.i.+p would not be too complicated. Otherwise, if his sister got married, she would not just have to deal with a mother-in-law, she would also have to face a domineering sister-in-law.

Government? Is your brother-in-law a high official? Mother Hans eyes immediately gleamed.

Li Qinglang smiled humbly. Its just a job. Theres nothing special about it.

That was a tacit yes.

Oh, thats wonderful. Your brother-in-law is so capable. This why doesnt he help you to become an official too? That way

He didnt do that because thats not where my ambitions lie. My brother-in-laws position is sufficient for our family!

Mother Han:

Mother Han was about to rebuke him when Father Han said, That means your family is doing very well, but mainly because of your brother-in-law, not because of you.

My daughter is a university student and attends a prestigious university. She is pretty too. If you dont meet our requirements, we wont marry our daughter to you.
