Li Qinglang smiled. His smile was very meaningful. "Uncle and Aunty, don't worry. Any family that marries off their daughter or who takes a daughter-in-law will have their requirements. To the Li family, marriage is an important matter. All the courtesies will be observed. We won't just marry her casually."

Father and Mother Han's expressions changed.

Even Han Shu's expression was rather ugly.

Li Qinglang said, "Uncle and Aunty still don't know me well, but there is plenty of time. Jing Jing and I are still young. If Uncle and Aunty have concerns about me, you can observe me for a time.

"Jing Jing hasn't graduated yet! We're not in a hurry to get married now."

Father and Mother Han: ".."

How could they refute that?

They had just said that they would not marry their daughter to just anyone, so now they could not possibly urge him to get married quickly.

If they urged them, then.. would they still get their villa?

Li Qinglang had had plenty of experience and had dealt with all kinds of people. He had seen many families like the Hans, so he dealt with them easily. He navigated the situation with ease.

Meanwhile, Han Jing and Wang Xiaoqin had gone to the kitchen to cook.

When lunch was almost ready, Han Jing told everyone to come and eat. She discovered that the situation in the living room was not as disastrous as she imagined it would be.

Her parents were not boasting and being smug. Neither were they embarrassed and angry.

Her elder brother did not look worried and seemed to be getting along with Li Qinglang.

She sighed with relief. But she was also curious. How had Li Qinglang done it?

Considering what her parents were like, she thought they would be quarreling.

The lunch went fairly smoothly.historical

That afternoon, Li Qinglang did not linger in the Han house and interact too much with Father and Mother Han. Instead, he asked Han Jing to bring him around the village, and Han Shu came along too.

Without the presence of Father and Mother Han, the three of them interacted much more freely.

By the end of their walk, Li Qinglang had completely won Han Shu over.

When he left that afternoon, Han Jing saw him off. She asked curiously, "How did you manage them? I could see that my elder brother liked you more and more. Especially after our walk. He seemed to have an excellent impression of you."

Li Qinglang laughed and said, "Oh, your parents! They're more concerned about how much dowry I can give your family. They can't wait to get their hands on the gifts. They hope we get married as soon as possible so they can get what they want more quickly.

"I only had to hint at some benefits. Since I did not answer their questions directly, they won't have any problem with me. In the future, they will have endless hopes about what benefits I can bring them.

"As for your elder brother, at first, he was not very pleased that I was in no hurry to marry you. He thinks I might not take you seriously. But as long as I can make him feel that I'm quite good to you and that I take you seriously, he will naturally have no problem with me."

Han Jing: ".."

Li Qinglang said, "And most importantly, your elder brother attaches a lot of importance to education and the problem of educating you and your niece. He is very determined that you attend school. He has always regretted not being able to continue studying."

"Right, my elder brother is really like that. No matter how difficult it has been all these years, he has never given up on my schooling. He's the same as Little Yu. My parents wanted Little Yu to stop school long ago, but my elder brother would not hear of it."

Li Qinglang laughed. "So! I just have to mention some things that he enjoys hearing!"

Han Jing: ".."
