I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 68
byChapter 68 The tyrannical betrothal gift
As soon as the two of them stepped into the entrance hall, a gentle figure walked up to them quickly.
The visitor was none other than Lu Jin’s mother, Ms. Tan.
She was wearing an off-white silk dress, her long black hair was pulled up into a low bun, revealing her slender white neck, and there were two round pearl earrings hanging on her earlobes, which made her temperament gentle yet luxurious.
Time seems to be particularly fond of her. Although there are shallow fine lines in the corners of her eyes, they add a bit of soft charm. Those smiling almond eyes are like holding a pool of warm spring water. When they look at Xie Shuhan, they are full of true joy and closeness.
Lu Weiting, who followed closely behind, was wearing a well-tailored dark gray handmade suit. He had a tall and straight figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and had the calm aura of a business elite.
His face is chiseled, his eyebrows are deep, and his usual sharpness at the negotiating table has been restrained, replaced by an elder-like gentleness.
He looked at Xie Shuhan with a bit of scrutiny, but more of a satisfied smile.
“Hanhan is here, come and sit down.” Ms. Tan stepped forward quickly and naturally took Xie Shuhan’s hand. The warmth in her palm was warm and had a faint fragrance of gardenia. She smiled and led him to the dining table. “Auntie just cut an iced mango for you. It’s very sweet. Try it quickly.”
Lu Jin, who was completely ignored, stood there, watching his mother holding Xie Shuhan’s hand and greeting her, as if he were his biological son whom he had not seen for many years, while his own biological son had become superfluous.
He curled his lips helplessly and whispered: “Mom, your son is still here.”
Ms. Tan didn’t look back and waved her hand: “I know, I know, you can find a place to sit by yourself.”
Lu Jin: “…”
“Shuhan, I’m glad you can come.” Lu Weiting stepped forward and reached out his hand. His tone was calm, without any of the cruelty in the shopping mall. “I’ve heard this brat talking about you for a long time. When I saw him today, he turned out to be a good boy.”
Xie Shuhan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to hold back, and his fingertips touched the warm palm of the other party. His back was straight, his eyebrows were clear, and his voice was clear and polite: “Uncle and aunt, I’m sorry to bother you by coming so late.”
He was wearing a clean white shirt and black trousers, and had a slim and tall figure.
Even if you are in a villa as grand as the Lu family, you don’t feel cramped at all. There is just the right amount of alienation and politeness in your cold temperament, which makes people fall in love with you when you see him.
“No need to disturb, no need to disturb.” Ms. Tan smiled and patted the back of his hand, pressing him down on the chair next to the dining table. “The main reason is that my uncle and aunt have always wanted to see you. This child has been hidden for so long before he was brought back.”
“Mom and Dad, am I really your biological child?” Lu Jin came over and complained with an aggrieved face, “You are too partial.”
Lu Weiting rolled his eyes at him and said in a disgusted tone: “Why are you standing there stupidly? Are you acting like a doorkeeper? Come and sit here.”
Lu Jin immediately stared back and muttered in his heart: I knew that with Hanhan, his son would be worthless.
He sat down next to Xie Shuhan angrily. Just when he was about to complain, he saw Ms. Tan bringing a plate of cut mangoes to Xie Shuhan and thoughtfully inserting toothpicks.
“Shuhan, eat more. This mango was airlifted from Hainan by my aunt. It’s very sweet.” Ms. Tan said, then picked up the chopsticks and gave Xie Shuhan a piece of steamed sea bass. “Try this. It has less thorns and is very fresh.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Xie Shuhan took the mango and took a bite. The sweet juice spread in his mouth. He curved the corners of his lips and softened his eyebrows a little.
Not to be outdone, Lu Weiting gave Xie Shuhan a piece of braised pork ribs and said in a calm tone, “Try this, your aunt’s specialty.”
“Thank you uncle.”
When Lu Jin saw this, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and gave Xie Shuhan a piece of broccoli. He said in a proud tone, “Hanhan, you can eat this, it’s delicious.”
For a time, various dishes were delivered to Xie Shuhan’s bowl in a steady stream, and soon they piled up into a small hill.
Xie Shuhan looked at the bowl full of vegetables, but his heart felt warm. It turned out that this was how it felt to be remembered like this.
The meal was warm and lively. During the meal, Ms. Tan kept asking Xie Shuhan about his preferences. From taste to interests, he kept everything in mind.
On the contrary, Lu Jin, his own son, was left out in the cold and could only pick up rice during the whole process. From time to time, he handed Xie Shuhan tissues and poured drinks, acting as a qualified “tool man”.
After three drinks and five dishes, Lu Weiting put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and looked at Xie Shuhan with an increasingly solemn look: “Shuhan, I heard from A Jin that you plan to go abroad to obtain a certificate after graduation. Do you have any plans for your work?”
Xie Shuhan put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, straightened his back, and spoke calmly but with a sense of determination: “I am studying law, and my mentor has already written a letter of recommendation to Jingyi Law Firm. I can just join the job directly after graduation.”
“Jingyi Law Firm?” Lu Weiting was suddenly startled, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
He naturally knows the importance of Jingyi Law Firm. It is the top law firm in Beijing. All the lawyers there are the best of the best. There are so many people who want to get in. Even those with a master’s degree in law from a prestigious university may not be able to get a letter of recommendation.
And Xie Shuhan was able to get the opportunity with his own ability, and he spoke so calmly and calmly. This calmness and strength really impressed him.
This child will definitely be the best among people in the future.
“Hanhan, you are so awesome!” Lu Jin’s eyes lit up, with a face full of pride, and he said he was absolutely sure.
Ms. Tan also had a look of surprise on her face: “Oh, that’s great. Jingyi Law Firm is a good place. Shuhan is such an excellent person, he will definitely do a good job.”
Lu Weiting came back to his senses, nodded approvingly, and asked again: “The Xie Group is also a well-known large company in the capital. Why haven’t you considered going back to business?”
Xie Shuhan lowered his eyes, gently rubbing the edge of the water glass with his fingertips, and said frankly: “I am not very interested in doing business. My family also supports my idea and does not interfere too much.”
“That’s good.” Lu Weiting smiled, with even more appreciation in his eyes, “Young people should do what they like.”
After the meal, Ms. Tan served tea, and Lu Weiting got up and walked into the study. After a while, he walked out holding a thick mahogany box.
He placed the box on the coffee table and opened it gently. There was a stack of documents neatly placed inside.
“Shuhan.” Lu Weiting’s tone was extremely solemn. His eyes glanced at the stack of documents and then returned to Xie Shuhan. “Although your relationship is different from that of ordinary couples, in our eyes, you and Ajin are the same. They are both children of our Lu family. These are the betrothal gifts given to you by your uncle and aunt. I hope you can accept them.”
Xie Shuhan looked down and saw that the top document was actually a transfer contract for a river view villa in the city center. Below it were share transfer agreements from several companies. Take out any one of them and they are all worth a lot, and the total amount is inestimable.
He was suddenly startled and waved his hand quickly: “Uncle, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”
“Hanhan, just accept it.” Ms. Tan came over, sat next to him, patted his shoulder gently, and said with gentle eyes, “This is a little thought from us as parents. We are very happy that you like Ajin and are willing to stay with him. From now on, you will be a family and you don’t need to see anyone outside.”
She really likes Xie Shuhan from the bottom of her heart. He is clean, transparent, and talented. Although he has a cold temperament, he has a tenacity. Together with Lu Jin, they complement each other perfectly.
Lu Jin also came over, gently pinched Xie Shuhan’s fingertips, put it close to his ear, and said secretly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Hanhan, take it, I don’t even have that much, I will count on you to support me from now on.”
The warm breath brushed against the ears, carrying the familiar smell of cedar, and the tips of Xie Shuhan’s ears instantly turned red.
Looking at the sincere eyes of the family of three in front of me, the words of rejection were stuck in my throat and I couldn’t say anything.
He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and took the heavy box: “Thank you, uncle, thank you auntie.”
“Hey, good boy.” Ms. Tan smiled, her eyes slightly red. She reached out and gently hugged Xie Shuhan’s shoulders. Her tone was as gentle as if she was coaxing her own child, “From now on, this will be your home, come here often.”
Warm yellow lights filled the living room, reflecting the smiling faces of several people, and a warm atmosphere filled the air, lingering and long.
