Han Yao's kindness made Lu Shanmin feel heavy in his heart. The better she treated him, the heavier he became. This pressure from the depths of his soul made him almost afraid to face Han Yao's gaze.

Han Yao's eager gaze, glowing with light blue light, was like a fierce taunt to him, making him feel ashamed.

He wanted to tell Han Yao not to be so nice to him, but he felt that saying such words at this time would make him even more despicable and shameless.

It was already evening after a busy day, and Han Yao invited Lu Shanmin to her home for dinner. Lu Shanmin resisted from the bottom of his heart, but seeing Han Yao's expectant eyes, he finally couldn't bear to refuse.

Now that you have made a decision, there is no reason to retreat.

Only two days have passed, and I came to Han's house again. The mess of the battle in the yard has been cleaned up without leaving a trace. The grass and trees in the yard are fragrant and lush, as if the battle two days ago never happened at all.

Walking into the villa, Zhou Lan was sitting on the sofa lazily stroking a blue cat. Even though she was almost fifty years old, she was well maintained, with white and firm skin, and an elegant temperament, giving people a

A gentle and approachable feeling.

"I have been crazy for a day, and finally I know that I still have this home." Zhou Lan turned to look at the door, her reproach was full of tenderness and love, but when she saw Lu Shanmin behind Han Yao, her gentle expression immediately became cold.

Like frost.

"Mom, I brought the mountain people back." Han Yao ran over and took Zhou Lan's arm coquettishly.

Lu Shanmin anticipated this situation, and although he felt a little embarrassed, he was not at a loss.

"Hello Aunt Zhou".

When Han Yao saw that her mother ignored Lu Shanmin's greetings, she felt a little aggrieved and pretended to be angry and said: "Mom, the mountain people are asking you again."

Zhou Lan is not afraid of anyone in the Han family. Even Han Xiaozhou can't do anything to her. Only her only daughter is her weakness.

"Um".

Zhou Lan responded to Lu Shanmin's greeting with a hum, and then asked Han Yao, "Has the dress been ordered?"

Han Yao accepted the request and did not force Zhou Lan to make a bigger response. She said, "Okay, Grandpa Cheng asked us to pick it up in a week."

"Where are the rings, necklaces, and bracelets?" Although Zhou Lan was asking Han Yao, her eyes turned to Lu Shanmin.

Obviously, she knew that Lu Shanmin had no money and was deliberately trying to embarrass Lu Shanmin.

Lu Shanmin watched with concern. He was not dissatisfied at all because of his future mother-in-law's teasing. Mothers all over the world are the same. No one wants their daughter to marry in glory.

Han Yao quickly took out a packaging box from her bag and said, "What era is it? A ring is enough, but a necklace and bracelet will be heavy in your hand."

Zhou Lan took the packaging box. Just looking at the box, her eyes showed deep dissatisfaction, and she was not even interested in opening it.

"You couldn't buy it from a street stall, right?"

"Mom"?! Han Yao pouted, "Can't you just say a few words"?

Zhou Lan glared at Lu Shanmin, snorted coldly, got up and walked upstairs without looking back.

Han Yao made a face at Zhou Lan's back, turned around and pulled Lu Shanmin to sit on the sofa, and said apologetically: "Don't worry, my mother is not usually like this."

Lu Shanmin smiled slightly, "Aunt Zhou was very generous if she didn't drive me out with a broom."

Zhou Lan, who walked up to the second floor, stopped and her voice

He said coldly: "I have seen many shameless people, and you are definitely the most shameless one."

Han Yao raised her head and looked at Zhou Lan in the corridor on the second floor, and said angrily: "Mom! If you continue to act like this, I will never pay attention to you again."

Zhou Lan, who was standing on the second floor, let out a long sigh, walked into her room, and closed the door with a bang.

Sitting in the two-hundred-square-meter hall, Lu Shanmin felt empty in his heart. Although he had made up his mind to exert his shameless spirit to the extreme, he still couldn't feel at ease and was restless.

As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. On the contrary, if you do bad things, it will be difficult for the heart to settle down. It feels like the heart is hanging in mid-air, teetering, and you don't know when it will fall to the ground.

broken.

Han Yao noticed Lu Shanmin's discomfort and gently placed her hand on Lu Shanmin's. A warm feeling of tenderness immediately came from the back of his hand.

"Mountain people, no matter what my family thinks of you, I will always stand by you."

Lu Shanmin was moved and sighed in his heart. He knew clearly that his purpose of being with her was impure, but he still persisted and fought for it foolishly. Thinking about himself, starting from Bai Ling, in all the relationships he had encountered, he had never been so desperate.

.

"Yao Yao, your persistence in feelings makes me feel ashamed."

Han Yao said comfortingly: "That's different. Your life experience, your situation, the responsibilities you bear, you not only live for yourself, but also live for others, all of which do not allow you to ignore it.

I pursue my own feelings, and I don’t have any pressure from all sides, so of course I can pursue love regardless of anything.”

Lu Shanmin slowly turned over his palm and gently held Han Yao's hand, "Yao Yao, you are so stupid."

Han Yao's hand trembled slightly, and the warmth in her hand extended along the palm to her heart. It had been too long, too long. This was the first time that Lu Shanmin took the initiative to hold her hand in such a long time. If she was studying in Tianjing Finance and Economics,

Sometimes, but it was just for fun, but at this moment, she could feel that Lu Shanmin was sincere.

Her face was as bright as the peonies in the yard, blooming beautifully, her eyes were unconsciously red, and there was a thin layer of mist in her light blue eyes.

Unable to help herself, Han Yao plunged into the arms of Lu Shanmin, and the whole world was filled with bright spring.

"Ahem,", while Han Yao was still in a state of intoxication, two slight coughs came from upstairs, awakening Han Yao from her dream. This time she realized that there was someone else at home, so she hurriedly left.

Lu Shanmin broke free from his arms. His cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.

Lu Shanmin looked up and saw Han Xiaozhou slowly walking down the stairs. Behind him was Han Chengxuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

When Han Xiaozhou and Han Chengxuan walked down the stairs, Lu Shanmin stood up politely.

Han Xiaozhou pressed his hands and said, "As a family, there is no need to be polite."

Han Chengxuan nodded towards Lu Shanmin. There was no obvious expression on his face. After not seeing him for a few days, this man who was five years older than him was much more mature than before. His eyes were as deep as ever.

After sitting down, Han Xiaozhou looked at Han Yao and said with a smile: "His face is as red as a monkey's butt."

Although Han Yao's personality was not that of Xiaojiabiyu, she was still so embarrassed and speechless when her father teased her that she got up and ran upstairs as if running away.

Han Xiaozhou shook his head and smiled helplessly, and said to Lu Shanmin, who was a little embarrassed and uneasy: "Let's take care of ourselves as we come. People who do great things cannot draw the earth as a prison to restrain themselves."

Lu Shanmin said: "

Thank you Uncle Han for reminding me, I will remember it."

Han Xiaozhou nodded and said: "I just discussed it with Chengxuan in the study. You don't have to worry about the hotel, the banquet, or entertaining guests. Chengxuan will make arrangements in the next few days, and you just have to show up."

Lu Shanmin turned to look at Han Chengxuan, "Thank you, Brother Han."

Han Chengxuan, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "Mountain man, it's time for you to change your name and call me brother."

Lu Shanmin smiled slightly and said, "That's all thanks to you, brother."

Han Xiaozhou smiled heartily, glanced at Han Chengxuan, and said, "Chengxuan, you really need to study hard like a mountain citizen."

Han Chengxuan also smiled. What seemed like a casual joke just now was actually a test and temptation for Lu Shanmin. Based on his previous understanding of Lu Shanmin, it was a bit surprising for him to be able to change his words so naturally and immediately.

unexpected.

"Although I am a few years older, I have always regarded the mountain people as my role models, so I naturally have to learn from them."

Lu Shanmin looked at this cheap cousin. His words were full of naturalness and casualness. They were not polite words. It could be seen at a glance that they came from the heart. The future heir of the dignified Han family, just this open-mindedness and humility, was enough for him.

It is not comparable to Lu Hanqing or Tian Heng.

"If eldest brother says that, he won't treat me as a family member."

Han Chengxuan smiled and said: "Let's talk about business then. Although I leave the engagement banquet to me, you still have to make the decision on some things, such as which guests you plan to invite, what are the customs in your hometown, and are there any taboos?

These matters need to be decided by you."

Lu Shanmin had to admire Han Chengxuan, not just because of his thoughtfulness, but also because of respect. The word "respect" is the most difficult thing for people to give and the most difficult to get. Regarding this marriage, Han Chengxuan cannot not know the meaning of it.

reasons, but it is even more rare to still be willing to respect him.

The future heir of the Han family is not only humble and open-minded, but also has a good view of the overall situation.

For wealthy families, whether a family is strong does not only depend on how many assets and resources it has, but more importantly, whether the children of the family have become talented, because no matter how strong the family is, once the next generation cannot hold on, everything will be ruined.

Turn into ashes and disappear into smoke.

Obviously, the Han family is much better than other companies in this regard.

However, when faced with Han Chengxuan's inquiry, Lu Shanmin was a little embarrassed. No matter from any point of view, it was really unreasonable if the man didn't even have a single guest at the engagement ceremony.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Shanmin said: "When you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do. You don't have to pay attention to the customs of your hometown, and you don't have to worry about taboos. As for the guests you invite, I need to carefully consider them."

Han Chengxuan nodded, "Don't worry, just think about it slowly and let me know when you think about it."

Han Chengxuan took out a stack of A4 paper from the briefcase beside him and handed it to Lu Shanmin.

"These are the guest lists invited by the Han family."

Lu Shanmin took the list and scanned it. There were more than 500 people, some of whom he knew, some of whom he had never met but whose names he had heard of, and some whom he had never seen or heard of.

Han Chengxuan continued: "I will send you the detailed information of these people later."

Lu Shanmin's eyes moved from Han Chengxuan to Han Xiaozhou, who smiled slightly.
