Chapter 128 Jin He: Little Seedlings Also Have
Reading Settings
Jin He took this dinner party so seriously that he spent half an hour in the dressing room in the morning. An Yi thought he had fainted there and was shocked. He pushed the door open and found that Jin He was just changing clothes.
"We still can't dress too formally." Jin He said seriously, "Too much of a good thing is bad. When meeting the parents, you should dress appropriately and modestly."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to meet my parents." An Yi sat down to tidy up the wardrobe that Jin He had messed up. "Aren't you this nervous about meeting my parents?"
"We haven't met yet, have we?" Jin He straightened her hair in front of the mirror. "It's not the right time yet."
"Then I'll make the arrangements now, and you two can meet tomorrow."
Jin He: "..."
Jin He slowly raised her hand to cover her chest.
"Hey, hey, hey! I was just kidding!" An Yi quickly put his arm around him and made him sit down slowly. "I was just kidding. If I don't want you to meet, I definitely won't let you meet right now!"
Jin He felt this was no joke. An Yi's family background was that of a genuine wealthy family. It was said that wealthy families were very strict in choosing daughters-in-law. They had to be good-looking, highly educated, healthy, and give birth to a smart and healthy big fat boy for their family.
That's what they say, at least in idol dramas and novels.
"What if your family doesn't approve of us being together, and then gives me a million dollars to leave you?"
"Huh?" An Yi frowned.
Although she was very reluctant to face it, it was an undeniable fact, and Jin He felt bitter inside.
"I'm only worth a million?"
"ah?"
"It should be at least fifty million, oh wait, fifty million is too little. I'm a big star! The eldest son of the An family! You think I can just give you a little money like that?!"
"Is that the important point?!"
"It has to be at least 100 million, no less than 100 million. If it's less, where will my face be?"
"Is that the point?!" Jin He said, "I can't give your family a big, healthy baby boy. Your family doesn't need me to be your other half. What if they insist on a big, healthy baby boy? I..."
Jin He held up her hand to measure her stomach: "I don't have that function!"
An Yi: "..."
So that's why.
If his family were truly determined to have a chubby son inherit the family business, then when he insisted on entering the entertainment industry to sing, his parents would have whipped him into a spinning top with their belts long ago.
"Don't think about those things anymore." An Yi pushed Jin He's shoulder and led him to the door. "I've already asked the driver to wait downstairs. The heater has been turned on in advance, so it'll be warm as soon as you go in. Wait for me in the car for a bit, and I'll bring the gifts over."
Jin He gave an "oh," his hand still outstretched. An Yi dutifully helped him put on his gloves, fastening them tightly to prevent any wind from blowing in and freezing Jin He. Jin He's expression was natural, as if he was already used to being served like this.
At 11:30 a.m., the two arrived at the private room on time. Xiao Miao said on WeChat that they were still on their way and would arrive in about ten minutes. Jin He breathed a sigh of relief, put the tea leaves on the coffee table, and An Yi followed behind carrying two bottles of wine and a box of bird's nest.
Are you cold?
Jin He shook his head, then turned to tell the waiter that they could prepare to serve the dishes. An Yi walked over and squeezed his cold fingertips.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Everything is preordained. If they really don’t like us, we can’t force it. Relationships can’t be resolved with just one meal.”
“I know,” Jin He said. “I’m just worried that Xiao Miao will be put in a difficult position.”
"You have to trust her, she'll handle it, she's already twenty-two."
Jin He was momentarily stunned when he heard the number twenty-two.
“When you were 22, you had an acute myocardial infarction and almost died suddenly. After that, you called me from your hospital bed and said you wanted to break up.”
Jin He: "..."
He gritted his teeth and pinched An Yi's side: "Why do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?"
Meanwhile, at the other side of the house, a woman appeared outside the villa gate, tiptoeing to peek inside. After ringing the doorbell for a long time without any response, she sat down at the door to wait, took out her phone and took a few pictures of the surrounding buildings, then put the phone away.
"Huh? Who are you? Why are you sitting in front of their house?" I had just finished my lunch break on the weekend and was on my way back to pick up some documents when I saw a woman sitting in front of Jin He's house.
"Ah, I'm Jinhe's mother." Yang Xiaoli was sitting on the ground looking up at Zhou Mo, who seemed to be a rich young master. She hurriedly stood up, rubbed her clothes with her hands, and stretched out her hand: "You must be Xiaohe's friend, hello, hello."
"Hello……"
Looking at her over the weekend, I had some doubts. Jin He didn't seem like an unfilial person. He wouldn't become a big star and let his mother be so poor and locked outside the villa.
"Oh, do you have Xiaohe's phone number?" Yang Xiaoli asked. "I had a little fight with that kid, and he blocked me. That's why I came to find him, but he doesn't seem to be home..."
"No." Zhou Mo shook his head. "We're not familiar with each other. Auntie, are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"
"No, no, it's right here. I've been observing it for several days now, it's right here."
"Oh, maybe so. I heard that the family isn't in good health; perhaps they went to the hospital."
"Oh, really?" Yang Xiaoli's tone softened. "Then, I'll come another day. Thank you."
"Auntie, are you really Jinhe's mother? Why don't you ask how Jinhe is doing? You don't seem worried at all when you hear he's in the hospital?" Zhou Mo asked again, but her voice was a little cold, not as warm as before.
"Oh dear, this child has always been like that since he was little. He's not very healthy and likes to make a big deal out of small things. He even pretended to faint to scare me when he was little. It wasn't a big deal when he went to the hospital."
"Is that so?"
He snorted coldly on the weekend, went back to his home, closed the door tightly, checked the security camera footage and saw that Yang Xiaoli was still sitting there, so he reached out and dialed the security team's number.
"I'm sorry to bother you during my lunch break, Captain Ma, but I think we residents pay such high property management fees every year, and we don't want some irrelevant people to come and disturb our lives... Yes, next door, there's a crazy woman I don't know. I think she might cause trouble. You know, the neighbor next door isn't in good health. I'm doing this for your sake. It would be bad if she upset the neighbor next door... Um, thank you for your help."
Yang Xiaoli, who was on the surveillance footage, was taken away by the security team after sitting for only a short while. Over the weekend, I felt it was necessary to inform Jin He about this.
So while Jin He was chatting with Xiao's mother, he received a WeChat message from Zhou Mo. He just glanced at it, replied with "thank you," and then resumed his usual smile.
"As for marriage... I think it's a bit early. As you know, Jin Miao hasn't graduated with her master's degree yet. She should get married after her career is stable. My approach to raising her is a bit different. I don't really want her to stay at home and be a stay-at-home wife and mother," Jin He said with a smile. "Even though she's a girl, she still needs her own world and social circle. Auntie, you can understand me, right?"
"That's true, but since we'll be renting a place after graduation, and Xiao Miao will still be living alone, why don't we let her live with Xiao Heyi? We bought Xiao Heyi a house, wouldn't it be easier for them to live together? Besides, they know each other, so they can develop their relationship, wouldn't that be great?"
“That’s true.” Jin He slowly took out a property certificate from her backpack. “But I recently sorted out my assets. Fortunately, I had some savings from working in the past few years, so I bought a house for Xiaomiao.”
“It’s not very big, only 60 square meters, but the location is excellent, the neighborhood is safe, and it’s close to the subway station, hospital, and shopping mall.” Jin He opened the property certificate, and the name “Jin Miao” was clearly visible. “Well, I think even if we live together, there’s no rush.”
