Han Shu watched her. He pursed his lips when he saw the deep worry in his mother’s eyes.
He was an adult now, with his own family and a grown child. He should not be jealous. But in the end, she was his mother. His mother had never looked at him with such concern.
Not even when he was little.
When he grew up and his parents realized that he would not have a son, to their eyes, he became the family’s servant. His only function was to work and support the whole family.
Han Shu did not say anything. He went about his business.
At that moment in the Gu house, Li Qingdan was smiling at her younger brother. “How was the child’s visit yesterday? Is his reformation going smoothly? Is the girl very grateful to you?”
Li Qinglang looked at his elder sister and smiled. “Sis, you’re overly concerned. I’m just helping my junior. Why are you looking at me like that?”
Li Qingdan laughed. “I’m your older sister. Of course I know what you’re thinking. Please. Would you help her so much if you had no interest in her?
“Giving her suggestions and helping her to reform her younger brother. You even helped her sister-in-law find a job?”
It was indeed Li Qinglang who had found Wang Xiaoqin’s job. On the surface, it was a very ordinary job, and the salary was not very high.
But when Wang Xiaoqin went to work, she realized that if Li Qinglang arranged for someone to have a job, they would not be bullied or overtaxed.
The salary was not high, but there were some benefits. Wang Xiaoqin only found out about them after she started working.
If Li Qinglang had not spoken on her behalf, they would not have treated an ordinary, low-ranking employee so well.
Li Qinglang had been busy studying all these years. He had grown up in the Gu family and helped his sister raise her children at a young age. Then he focused on studying, and when he grew up, he helped out Gu Jinye. One might say that besides his gratitude towards the Gu family, the only thing he thought about was work.
If this brat had shown the slightest inclination, she would not have to look everywhere for a girlfriend for him.
Now he had taken a fancy to a girl. Li Qingdan felt that he must be interested.
Li Qinglang shook his head helplessly. “All right! Since you’re so curious, I might as well tell you frankly. How should I put it? I’m not in love, but I think the girl is not bad.
“I would say that it’s a liking! Although her family background is ordinary and her family is a mess, her character is good, and her older brother is not bad either. As for her younger brother, he’s still young. It’s not too late to change him.”
Li Qingdan said, “A university degree is very advantageous. But with her background, she might not be able to integrate into our circle. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Li Qinglang said, “Han Jing has no intention of seeking favors from noble families. My guess is that if I propose to her now, she will definitely turn me down.
“What she wants is independence. I feel that as long as there’s no issue with her character, it will be fine. She just needs to be groomed for a few years. She’s very intelligent. She will do well when she comes out to work.”
Li Qingdan shrugged. “You know best! I won’t interfere. As long as the girl has a good character, all that matters is that you like her.”
Li Qinglang looked at his sister. “You’re really not going to interfere? Weren’t you anxiously looking everywhere for a girlfriend for me not too long ago?”
Li Qingdan rolled her eyes. “Do you think I wanted to? I thought you didn’t like women! I was afraid you were going astray, so I thought you should interact more with women so that you can understand how wonderful women are!”
Li Qinglang: “…”
