Chapter 2100: Deal with Han Chen’s Mother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past two years, Han Chen was very nice to Qian’e. Whenever Qian’e ran into issues she could not solve at the factory, Han Chen would teach her patiently. Although Han Chen always said that he found her troublesome at first, Qian’e slowly realized how much time and effort he spent on her. After testing him countless times and observing him for a period of time, Qian’e finally believed that Han Chen was really very fond of her.

“You have to consider this matter carefully. You can’t get too hot-headed and make a decision that you will regret for the rest of your life,” Qiao Mei said seriously.

“I’ve thought about it carefully. Before I came to look for you, I’ve thought about it countless times. I’m sure that I want to marry Han Chen. He also told me firmly that he wants to marry me. Otherwise, he won’t get married in this lifetime. He even gave me 10% of the shares of the Han Corporation out of his own share of the company. When his mother found out about this, she had a big fight with him,” Qian’e said.

The corners of Qiao Mei’s mouth twitched a few times. That was 10% of the shares of the Han Corporation! Han Chen’s parents had built the Han Corporation from scratch. They held 42% of the shares while Han Chen had 18%. Now that he had given more than half his shares to Qian’e for free, they must be very angry to hear that. Those shares were worth nearly 10 million dollars!

“He has really gone all out in order to give you reassurance,” Qiao Mei said, feeling impressed.

“That’s why I’m willing to give it a shot. However, I always feel inferior because of what happened in the past. I don’t think I’m worthy of him,” Qian’e said dejectedly with her head lowered.

“In my eyes, he’s the one who’s not worthy of you! You’re such a good woman and you should have a good partner. People with our kind of good fortune will be lucky no matter where we go! He’s the one who has benefited from your good fortune! He should feel glad about it!” Qiao Mei said agitatedly.

Qian’e immediately felt better, but there was something else that she was even more worried about. Once she agreed to Han Chen’s marriage proposal, the next step would be for them to get engaged and for the couple’s parents to meet. However, given her parents’ usual behavior, they would definitely ruin things for her.

“Why don’t you let my mother go with you?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Is that really possible?” Qian’e asked expectantly.

“Of course. You’re her goddaughter. Isn’t it only right for her to attend your engagement party? Besides, you’ve already cut ties with the Qian family. If they even dare to do anything, we’ll go to the police! We’ll get Zou Ming to arrest them all!” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei pestered Qian’e to tell her about everything that happened between the couple over the past two years. She wanted to know how Han Chen had managed to woo Qian’e. The two of them chatted until dawn before falling asleep groggily.

No one in the whole house went to wake them up. Even the children were very obedient and moved around carefully, worried that they would disturb the two women’s rest if they played too noisily in the courtyard.

The next afternoon, Han Chen came to Qiao Mei’s house to pick up Qian’e to go on a date. Qiao Mei stopped Qian’e from going out and said, “I’m at least half a matchmaker. Shouldn’t I get some matchmaker gifts!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Of course!” Qian’e sat in the living room and said with a smile.

Qiao Mei told Xu Kang to ask Han Chen to come in. Han Chen was a little surprised to see Qiao Mei. He did not know that she was back. He only focused on Qian’e and the Han Corporation and did not care about anything else, so he naturally did not know that Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe had returned to the country.

“Young Master Han, you have kidnapped our Qian’e. I think I should get an explanation for this,” Qiao Mei sat on the master seat and said unhappily.

Han Chen quickly took out a long jewelry box from his pocket and placed it gently beside Qiao Mei’s hand as he said, “I just know that you will say such things to me. Take a look if this catches your fancy.”

Qiao Mei opened the jewelry box expectantly. There was an antique emerald necklace inside and the gemstones were dazzling. One look and she could tell that it was an auction-grade item that cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“Young Master Han is so generous. It looks like you’re really in love with our Qian’e,” Qiao Mei said.

“Of course I am. And I’m very sincere too. Since I’m here today, I’d like to discuss with you about how to deal with my mother,” Han Chen said helplessly.

“Deal with your mother? Your mother is famous in the capital for having high standards and a bad temper. I don’t have the guts to provoke your mother, so please spare me,” Qiao Mei said.

“It takes a thief to catch a thief. You’re the only person I can think of,” Han Chen said as he sat down beside Qian’e.
