3501 Sounded Familiar
âIâ¦â Xie Jilingâs face was even redder now.
âDonât try to be polite with us. Youâre Zhuofengâs girlfriend, so we are family.â Old Mrs. Han held Xie Jilingâs hand.
âTo be honest, ever since I saw you yesterday, I have been thinking about connecting you to our Zhuofeng. I donât want to miss such a good girl like you.â
âLuckily, our Zhuofeng works pretty hard, and he knows to fight for what he likes,â Old Mrs. Han smiled and said, âDonât be embarrassed. I know that you and Zhuofeng have known each other for quite a while now.â
!!
Old Mrs. Han was secretly hinting that she did not think that Xie Jiling suddenly becoming Han Zhuofengâs girlfriend after staying here for a night was a bad thing.
Old Mrs. Han did not think of it in a negative way.
She was doing this so that Xie Jiling would not overthink.
Xie Jiling understood it as well.
She looked at Old Mrs. Han with gratitude.
How could the elders of the Han Family be so good?
Xie Jiling felt that she was really lucky.
Her boyfriend was pure and sweet, and the elders were so nice and considerate.
âSo you should come here often. Itâs not far from your school, so you must come here to eat often. I heard that the canteen of B University is pretty good, but it canât be better than food cooked at home, right?â said Old Mrs. Han.
âWhen your classes are not too hectic, come over. We have a chauffeur, so donât come here by yourself on the subway. Itâs troublesome to take so many trips. Just let the chauffeur pick you up!â instructed Old Mrs. Han.
âAlright,â Xie Jiling agreed obediently.
Old Mrs. Han exclaimed inside. This young lady was too well-behaved.
âOh, yes, I asked Auntie Sun to prepare some snacks. Bring it back to your dormitory and share it with your classmates.â Old Mrs. Han was adapting very well to the change in their relationship.
She was treating Xie Jiling like her granddaughter-in-law now.
Bringing more good food and sharing with dorm mates would improve their relationship.
Xie Jiling could be more comfortable in school, too.
Auntie Sun had already prepared it.
There was a massive snack box. âGet Xiao Liang to carry it to the car. When you reach the school, get him to bring it to your dormitory as well. Donât carry it yourself.â
Xiao Liang was the chauffeur of the family home.
âItâs okay; Iâm pretty strong,â said Xie Jiling.
âThat wonât do. Youâre a girl, so how can you carry heavy things? If youâre alone and have no other choice, itâs fine. But now that our family is here, you wonât have to do a single thing yourself,â said Old Mrs. Han.
When Xie Jiling heard this, she felt that it sounded familiar, so she laughed.
âWhy? What are you laughing at?â asked Old Mrs. Han, curious.
âI thought of Zhuofeng,â Xie Jiling smiled and said, âI finally know whom he learned it from. Itâs because you have always educated him that way.â
Thinking about it, Old Mrs. Han had always educated her own grandsons this way.
When they were here, they would not let their wives do a single thing.
âHe was bringing the production crew to Ta City to shoot a film, so he asked me to see if there were anything weird with the shooting venue, and I followed the production crew. When we were taking our luggage at the airport, I wanted to carry it myself, but Zhuofeng did not let me,â explained Xie Jiling.
âBack then, he said the same thing. I said I was used to carrying luggage on my own. He said that I can do that when I am alone, but if he were there, he would not let me carry it myself,â said Xie Jiling.
âItâs exactly the same as what you just said.â
âThatâs right!â Old Mrs. Han applauded in satisfaction.
It seemed like educating her grandsons hadnât been a waste of time.
Han Zhuofeng learned it well. Aside from listening and memorizing it, he actually did it.
This was because she taught them well.
And that was why her grandson found a wife this early.
In the blink of an eye, Han Zhuofengâs place among the three brothers rose again.
At this moment, the chauffeur Xiao Liang entered the room.
âOld Mrs. Han, the car is ready,â said Xiao Liang.
âAiyo, you have to go now. I canât stop you anymore.â Old Mrs. Han looked at the time.
Xiao Liang came over and carried the box of snacks.
Old Mrs. Han instructed, âWhen you reach the school, help Jiling carry it to the lobby of her dormitory.â
âYou canât enter the girlsâ dormitory, and you canât enter her dorm room as well,â instructed Old Mrs. Han.
âAlright,â answered Xiao Liang.
âThereâs a bit of trouble. If Xiao Liang canât enter the dormitory, how can you carry this back?â Old Mrs. Han was a little worried.
Auntie Sun said, âShould I follow along?â
âNo, no.â Xie Jiling waved her hands immediately.
Auntie Sun was already so old, so how could Xie Jiling let her carry this?
âOur dormitory has an elevator, so I wonât need to climb the stairs. When we reach the dormitory, I will ask my dorm mates to come down and help me carry it into the elevator,â said Xie Jiling.
Actually, she could carry it herself.
However, she was scared that Old Mrs. Han would be worried about her, so she simply said that she would ask her dorm mates to help her.
âThereâs an elevator. Thatâs good. Thatâs good.â Old Mrs. Han was finally at peace.
âOh right, letâs add each other on WeChat,â said Old Mrs. Han, âWhen you reach the dormitory, let me know, so I can be at ease.â
âOkay.â Xie Jiling found her own WeChat QR code and let Old Mrs. Han scan it to add her.
The two elders even sent Xie Jiling to the car, which made Xie Jiling feel embarrassed.
She rested her head on the car window and said, âGrandpa, Grandma, Auntie Sun, Butler Wang, you should go back.â
âItâs alright, weâll watch you leave,â said Old Mrs. Han, âCome back if there are no classes on the weekend. Your home is too far, so our house is your home now.â
âMmhm!â Xie Jiling nodded vigorously. âAh, right.â
âI have something to give you.â Xie Jiling retrieved four pieces of jade pendants. She came out of the car and gave it to the four of them.
âThis is more useful than an amulet. It can be used multiple times,â said Xie Jiling, âI even gave Zhuofeng and the others. They all have it. Bring this along with you as well.â
âThe location of the family home is good, and I even added an array of protection, so there wonât be any evil spirits near it,â said Xie Jiling, âBut you canât always be in the family home; you have to go out someday. Evil spirits arenât common but just in case.â
âItâs safer to have this with you. This can protect you multiple times. I will come here often anyway, so if the energy was used up, Iâll know when and where you encountered the evil spirits, and I can replenish the energy as well,â said Xie Jiling.
Xie Jiling saying that she would come often made Old Mrs. Han overjoyed.
The rest wasnât that important.
âOkay, okayâ¦â Old Mrs. Han immediately wore it around her neck.
Old Mr. Han, Butler Wang, and Auntie Sun also put their own pendants on.
They werenât sure whether it was just their minds, but after wearing it, they immediately felt safer.
Afterward, Xie Jiling went back into the car.
