The young man was at the academy and didn’t have much time to visit Su Shan. If Su Shan followed him when he went out during his rest time, it would invite gossip.
“Mom…” Su Shan looked at Li Yan, feeling a bit embarrassed. What was her mother saying? But she was also somewhat looking forward to it.
Seeing Su Shan’s insincere expression, Wang Jinhe knew that she also wanted to get engaged soon.
She nudged Su Yu’s arm. “It looks like you need to have someone inform big brother.”
“Alright.”
The next morning, Su Yu sent someone to the academy to find Wang Jingyu. When Wang Jingyu learned that Su Long and his wife had arrived, he was surprised. He hadn’t heard from Su Yu about their visit. What was going on? Why did they suddenly come?
“Is there anything else?” Wang Jingyu asked.
“No, Young Master. I was just asked to inform you about this matter.”
Wang Jingyu nodded, indicating that he understood. This was more of a notification for Qin Lang than for him. As for what would happen next, it was up to Qin Lang.
Although the two were in love and Su Long and his wife had come from the capital, it didn’t mean that Qin Lang’s family would do nothing.
After returning to the academy, Wang Jingyu patted Qin Lang’s shoulder. “Alang, do you want to hear some news?”
“What?” Qin Lang asked without looking up from his book.
Ever since he fell in love with Su Shan, Qin Lang had been working harder at the academy.
” Su Shan’s parents arrived last night,” Wang Jingyu said.
Qin Lang abruptly turned to look at Wang Jingyu. “What did you say?”
Su Shan’s parents had arrived? Would they like him? What if they didn’t? He became increasingly worried the more he thought about it.
“What do they like? How should I visit them?” Qin Lang was completely at a loss. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Wang Jingyu looked at Qin Lang in surprise and teased, “I never expected to see you like this. So, you have days like this too.”
“Jingyu, don’t make fun of me. Do you think they came because of Su Shan?”
“Indeed, it’s probably because Su Yu wrote to them about this matter. That’s why they came directly. You can go back and discuss it with your parents to see what they say. Uncle Su probably had to squeeze out time to come. He definitely won’t stay for too long,” Wang Jingyu advised Qin Lang.
“I’ll talk to my parents about it tonight.” With Su Shan’s parents here, he had to take the opportunity to formally propose to her. He would wait until he passed the provincial examination before proceeding with the engagement.
“Handle it as you see fit.”
Looking at Qin Lang’s speechless expression, Wang Jingyu shook his head. “Alang, I’ve never seen you like this. It’s just meeting your future in-laws. What’s there to be afraid of?”
With Su Shan by his side, could he really be wronged?
“You don’t understand anything.” Qin Lang felt it was embarrassing for someone without a fiancée to say such things to him. He felt like he had been taken advantage of.
That evening, Qin Lang asked for leave from his master and returned home.
When he got back, his family was having dinner and was surprised to see him return in such a hurry.
“Alang, why did you come back in such a hurry? Did something happen?” his mother asked, concerned.
Qin Lang looked at them with a bitter smile and said, “Mom, Su Shan’s parents have come. Shouldn’t we go and visit them?”
“We should definitely go, but I need to think about how to approach it,” his mother replied.
“Mom, why don’t we just go directly?” Qin Lang suggested after considering it.
“That works too. In the eyes of others, we’re just visiting the Wang family,” his mother agreed.
“Since that’s the plan, let’s prepare well. We’ll go to Jingyu’s house tomorrow. By the way, Alang, are you off tomorrow?” the father asked his youngest son.
Qin Lang then remembered that he had the day off tomorrow. “Yes, I’m off tomorrow.”
“Great, we’ll go together.”
The next morning, Qin Lang started preparing early. Seeing him like this, his two older brothers couldn’t help but smile. They were surprised to see their usually reserved brother feeling nervous. It was only at times like this that they saw Qin Lang as a very ordinary person.
“Alang, don’t be nervous. We’re all here,” they reassured him.
“Okay.”
The family of five went to visit, but the two daughters-in-law did not accompany them.
Qin Xian’s wife looked displeased as they left. “Why can’t we go, sister-in-law?”
“It’s not the official engagement yet. What’s the point of us going?”
“This is something you don’t understand, right? It’s beneficial for us to see what kind of person they are,” Lu Ruixin said.
“Lu Ruixin, only you would believe such nonsense. You just want to sabotage things so that your cousin has a chance,” Di Qing retorted. “Let me tell you, Alang doesn’t like her, your cousin won’t have a chance.”
“Di Qing, shut your mouth. It’s none of your business,” Lu Ruixin said, looking displeased.
Di Qing glanced at her and didn’t say anything more, then left with the child.
It seemed that Lu Ruixin hadn’t taken her brother’s warning to heart. If she continued like this, who knew what her brother would do in the future?
When the family arrived at the Wang residence, Wang Jinhe and the others were not surprised at all. They had known about Qin Lang’s foolish actions when Wang Jingyu returned yesterday. He was supposed to have a day off today, but he had gone to see his master at home. They couldn’t understand what he was thinking.
After sizing each other up, Wang Jinhe said with interest, “Qin Lang, you seem nervous.”
“I… I’m not nervous,” Qin Lang’s voice was very low, almost inaudible if not for Wang Jinhe’s careful listening.
“Su Yu, do you believe that?” Wang Jinhe asked.
Su Yu shook his head. With Qin Lang acting like this, who would believe that he wasn’t nervous?
Qin Lang looked at Wang Jinhe helplessly. Couldn’t he stop teasing him?
After seeing Su Long and his wife, the Qin family also began to feel nervous. But for their son’s sake, they had to establish a good relationship with the other family.
As for Qin Xian and the others, they had seen the girl Qin Lang was so infatuated with. Not only did she look very nice, but she also had a gentle demeanor and a pleasant voice. It was no wonder that her brother had fallen for her. After spending the day together, Madam Qin was very fond of Su Shan. Despite being from a wealthy family, she didn’t look down on others and was easy to get along with, which made Madam Qin like her even more.
Before leaving in the afternoon, Qin Lang’s father finally spoke to Su Long, “Brother Su, we have another matter to discuss today.”
