Chapter 355 The Han Family Comes to Propose Marriage

The Han family, who saw the news online, emphasized high efficiency.

At 10:30 a.m., led by the Han family patriarch and matriarch, along with Han's parents, they arrived at Lijiang Villa without even saying hello.

Sister Yun and Zhang Yun were quite frightened by this scene.

Zhang Yun, wearing a mask and holding Xiao Niannian, gave his wife a wink.

Using the excuse of fetching tea, Sister Yun ran into the kitchen to call Shen Qingshu.

At that time, Shen Qingshu and Han Mingyu had just gotten off the highway.

"Miss Chen, the Han family has arrived."

On the phone, Aunt Yun's voice was anxious: "Old Master Han and Madam Han, along with Mr. Han and Mrs. Han, have come with all the betrothal gifts and gifts, a grand procession, saying they've come to propose marriage."

Shen Qingshu paused, then turned to look at Han Mingyu, who was driving.

At that moment, Han Mingyu's phone rang.

It was Han's mother calling.

He answered the phone, "Mom."

Han's mother: "Mingyu, haven't you and Miss Shen returned yet?"

Upon hearing his mother's words, Han Mingyu knew that they also knew about the news.

"Just got off the highway."

"Oh, is that so? Well, your grandparents, your dad, and I are at the Lijiang Villa right now. We saw the news, and your grandparents are overjoyed. They're urging us to come and propose marriage right away. And you, the baby's already a month old, and you've been keeping it from us!"

"Mom, wait a minute." Han Mingyu frowned, slowed down the car, and turned to look at Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu had already hung up the phone.

But her expression was somewhat serious.

Han Mingyu's heart sank. "Mom, why did you go there without saying a word? Couldn't you have asked me about this first?"

"How dare you say that!" Mother Han scolded. "You and Miss Shen have already had a child, and you still kept it from us! If it weren't for the news, how long were you planning to keep it from us? Mingyu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you really went too far this time. You let a girl have a child for you without any status or recognition. This is our Han family's eldest grandson. How could you bear to let it be known to the outside world!"

Han Mingyu felt a headache coming on.

Things didn't go as he expected.

Han Mingyu sighed, "Mom, you should persuade Grandpa and the others to go back first. I'll explain this to you in detail when I get home."

“We’ve brought the betrothal gifts. Nobody goes back without even seeing you. If others find out, they’ll think Miss Shen has already had a child but still doesn’t want to marry you!”

"This is a long story, I..."

"It's a long story, let's get straight to the point!" Han's mother interrupted Han Mingyu. "We'll be waiting for you and Miss Shen here. I have to go see my precious grandson now!"

Beep beep—

The call was ended abruptly.

Han Mingyu was completely numb.

The light ahead was red, so he slowly stepped on the brake and turned to look at Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu met his gaze.

The car was quiet.

“Sister Yun has told me everything.” She spoke first: “But Han Mingyu, I’m sorry, even if it puts you in a difficult position, even if it disappoints your family, I will not marry you.”

Han Mingyu stared at her.

Regarding her answer.

He was both disappointed and felt it was expected.

If she were so easily persuaded, why would he have pursued her for so long without getting a formal response?

The green light is on.

The vehicles behind honked their horns to urge them on.

Han Mingyu released the brake and stepped on the gas.

The black Rolls-Royce drove forward.

Inside the car, Han Mingyu stared straight ahead, his voice low: "I know, it was my family who were too offensive. Don't worry, I'll handle the marriage proposal and won't make things difficult for you."

“It’s not that you’re making things difficult for me, it’s that I’ve dragged you into this,” Shen Qingshu said. “Although there’s no direct evidence, I can roughly guess that the person behind this revelation is Qi Mingxuan, and that she’s targeting me.”

"How could this be you dragging me down?" Han Mingyu sighed. "If I hadn't insisted on bothering you, those photos and exposé posts wouldn't have existed. If Qi Mingxuan was deliberately targeting you, it was my harassment that provided her with material. So, I'm not innocent."

Shen Qingshu raised her hand and pressed her temples. "Let's agree on a story. Let's say I have no intention of remarrying and that we will raise the child together."

Han Mingyu pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before saying, "Saying that makes you sound like a scumbag."

"I don't care." Shen Qingshu said calmly, "As long as Xiao Niannian is not affected by public opinion, everything else is trivial."

“A mother’s reputation can also affect a child’s upbringing.” Han Mingyu said, “Let’s say we dated, and during the honeymoon phase I cheated on you. You found out and were disappointed, so you broke up with me. But after the breakup, you found out you were pregnant and couldn’t bear to abort the child, so you secretly gave birth to the child without telling me. I only found out recently, but you’ve already given up on me. After discussing it, we decided to raise the child together.”

Shen Qingshu: "..."

The plot felt strangely familiar.

Han Mingyu coughed lightly, "My youngest son has been watching short dramas at home a lot lately, so I only glance at them occasionally..."

So that's how it is.

Indeed, many short dramas nowadays follow this formula.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Shen Qingshu looked at Han Mingyu. "I've heard that your Han family has very strict family rules. If you're labeled as a cheating scumbag, won't your family blame you?"

"It's alright. For Xiao Niannian's sake, at most they'll punish me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall."

Shen Qingshu: "..."

Although it's a bit outrageous, there doesn't seem to be a better solution at the moment.

Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and sighed, "Then let's do as you say."

...

Twenty minutes later, the black Rolls-Royce drove into the Lijiang Villa.

Just as the car stopped, another black car approached.

It was Fu Siyan's black Bentley.

Shen Qingshu got out of the car and turned around to see Fu Siyan getting out of the car.

A few meters apart, their eyes met.

Fu Siyan looked anxious and strode towards Chen Qingshu.

"Niannian's mother is back!" A kind voice came from the front door of the villa.

Fu Siyan paused in his steps.

Han's mother helped the old lady Han walk excitedly to Shen Qingshu.

Before Shen Qingshu could react, Old Madam Han had already grasped her hand.

The elderly woman had her silver hair neatly styled and wore a dark red embroidered cheongsam, looking both wealthy and spirited.

Her eyes shone as she looked at Shen Qingshu. "Oh my, our little Niannian looks just like her mother, so beautiful! Such a lovely girl! Our Mingyu is useless, he's already had a child but still hasn't brought you and your daughter home. Little Shu, Grandma is here today to make arrangements for you. Grandma has brought the betrothal gifts, see if there's anything you need? Just name it, Grandma will make it all up for you!"
