Chapter 1862: Don’t Have Such Bad Judgment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The Han Family’s elders have seen Xiaoya already?” Du Yiqin asked.
“They met during an event at the National Film Academy. We were not together yet at that time. But at that time, I was already wooing her,” Han Zhuoling said with a smile.
Even s.h.i.+ Xiaoya could not help but turn to look at Han Zhuoling when he said that.
He made it sound as if it was true.
Seeing how shocked she looked, Han Zhuoling raised his eyebrow and said, “At that time, didn’t I send you flowers every day?”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya: “…”
She actually could not rebut him.
This man, he secretly retconned what happened!
At that time, he’d clearly sent her the flowers because he wanted to apologize.
But…
If it were someone else, Han Zhuoling might at most just apologize. He probably would not have given flowers.
Du Yiqin sat down. If she did not sit down now, she was afraid she might not be able to stand firm on her feet any longer.
“This child, why didn’t you tell us earlier that you were dating Young Master Ling? You even hid it from us. What’s there to hide about this?” Du Yiqin said to s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.
Du Yiqin still felt a little dizzy right now.
She did not think that there was anything bad about Han Zhuoling. She just never thought that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s boyfriend would be Han Zhuoling.
She just felt that the two of them could not have had any connection with each other at all.
“I just wanted to give you both a surprise,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
Du Yiqin thought to herself that it was more of a scare than a surprise.
When she saw Han Zhuoling walk into their house, she almost got scared to death, okay?
“Auntie, you can just call me Zhuoling,” Han Zhuoling said. “I know, I have many shortcomings. I am much older than Xiaoya, and I’ve had a past marriage, but I hope you can give me a chance to be with Xiaoya.”
“Young Master Ling—Eh no, Zhuoling,” Du Yiqin immediately corrected herself and said, “Don’t misunderstand. We’re not against it.”
Du Yiqin turned to ask s.h.i.+ Guanzhong, “Right?”
s.h.i.+ Guanzhong smiled and nodded. “We are not against it. Although we haven’t had the chance to interact before, I believe no one would be unfamiliar with your name in the field of business. I often heard people say that even though you take a strong stance when doing business, your methods have always been proper, and you never resort to any underhand means to do things. If your personality is like that even in business, nothing more needs to be said for other aspects.”
There were so many people who would resort to unscrupulous means to earn money, using both legal and illegal connections for business.
They would unscrupulously set up their compet.i.tors, play dirty tricks, and even resort to more extreme measures.
But Han Zhuoling had always been disdainful of such methods.
“To be honest, you and Xiaoya’s age gap isn’t that big either. As for your previous marriage, I won’t comment on it, but I trust your character, and I believe in Xiaoya’s judgment as well. So you don’t have to worry about all those things you were worried about earlier on,” s.h.i.+ Guanzhong said, smiling.
He personally picked a teacup for Han Zhuoling and poured tea for him.
“We were just too surprised,” Du Yiqin said. “Xiaoya, this child. She would not tell us a single thing about her boyfriend no matter how we asked, insisting on giving us a surprise.”
“To be honest, in our hearts, we even prepared for the worst. Is it because the guy is pretty normal in many aspects, be it in looks, career, or family, such that he is not that compatible with her?”
“I even thought, could it be that he doesn’t even have a stable job, much less a successful career? Anyway, I already thought of all kinds of ridiculous, terrible scenarios in my head before this.”
“Mom,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
In front of her parents, she seemed more like a little girl, calling out softly with a bit of cuteness in her tone.
Han Zhuoling looked at her and broke into a warm smile. “Xiaoya’s judgment isn’t that bad.”
