Chapter 140 Urging Marriage? Thanks for the invitation, I'm already married.
He Yan is always very sharp-tongued towards people she dislikes.
“I have always been well-mannered. If you can’t feel it, you should reflect on why.”
Seeing He Huijun's face flushed red with anger, she did not restrain herself.
"Only when you lack something will you assume that others don't have it either."
"Big brother, look at her!"
He Huijun's face contorted with rage.
He Zhengyuan frowned, his face looking extremely pale.
"Alright, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
"Hmph, I knew it..."
He Huijun thought her older brother was on her side and was going to teach He Yan a lesson, and her expression immediately turned smug.
However, in the next instant, she was brought back to her original form.
"I am talking about you."
He Zhengyuan looked at his younger sister with displeasure.
At this moment, Su Wan also showed a rare display of strength.
"Huijun, today is to celebrate Yunyi's company securing a long-term partnership. If you don't like the food here, you can go back to your own home. Otherwise, please stop talking to my daughter."
"you……"
He Huijun's eyes widened as she suddenly realized that her words were no longer effective.
No one knows what method He Yan used to win them back.
But she couldn't leave; she had to be involved in everything the He family did.
Even if this meal will be very unpleasant.
"I won't say anything more."
He Zhengyuan's expression improved slightly.
Seeing that the civil war was over, He Yunyi was about to call the waiter to serve the food when he realized that one person was missing.
"Where did Yiyi go? Why can't I see her?"
"She went to pick up the guests. Let's have the food served first. They should be here soon."
Su Wan answered the question with a smile on her face.
He Yunyi was taken aback, feeling that his mother's smile was a little strange.
At that moment, the door to the private room was opened.
He Yiyi brought Xu Yuan in with her.
"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, look who's here!"
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Xu Yuan greeted him politely as soon as they met.
His gaze, however, was fixed on He Yunyi.
He suddenly felt a headache coming on.
It was clearly his suggestion for a family dinner, so how did it turn into him wanting to go on a blind date?
"Xiaoyuan, sit over with my older brother."
He Yiyi immediately urged Xu Yuan to sit down. She said that as long as she could bring the two of them together, she would have absolute support on her older brother's side and they could also work together to deal with He Yan.
She was just away and had no idea that her parents were protecting He Yan.
Su Wan was very happy and invited Xu Yuan to sit down.
Xu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down between He Yan and He Yunyi.
"Brother Yunyi, it's been so long! What have you been busy with lately? You didn't come to the last banquet."
"I've been very busy lately, with a lot of things going on at the company."
He Yunyi frowned helplessly, but still had to maintain his politeness.
Su Wan was very satisfied. She had mentioned this to her husband, and they both hoped that their son could get married soon.
"Xiaoyuan, please make yourself at home. Auntie likes you very much. If you have time, you can come and chat with Auntie and have afternoon tea more often."
After speaking with Xu Yuan, she didn't forget to give her son some pointers.
“Yunyi, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to think about your life’s most important matter.”
"Big brother, Xiaoyuan is a very nice person, why don't you try getting to know her?"
He Yiyi also tried to persuade her older brother.
Actually, she just wanted to have a helper.
He Huijun always enjoys watching a good show and loves to stir things up.
"Yunyi, you're not still thinking about that woman from before, are you? She's not qualified to marry into the He family."
He Yunyi's face instantly turned ugly, and his eyes showed restraint.
He Yan was eating when she suddenly sensed something was wrong.
The atmosphere at the table was quiet yet eerie.
He Zhengyuan frowned, his face full of displeasure.
"Why bring this up?"
He Huijun was reprimanded and fell silent, while the others also had strange expressions.
Only Xu Yuan was still oblivious.
"What kind of woman are you talking about?"
"Xiaoyuan, we didn't say anyone in particular. What Auntie meant was that Big Brother shouldn't just marry any woman."
He Yiyi hurriedly comforted Xu Yuan, making up a reason on the spot.
It seems to be a secret they can't tell.
He Yan wasn't interested in what they were saying; she was focused on eating.
She wasn't curious about He Yunyi's past.
"Mom and Dad, marriage shouldn't be rushed. After all, I'm looking for someone I'll be living with for decades to come."
He Yunyi took a deep breath, still wanting to argue his case.
He didn't like Xu Yuan, and he couldn't do anything to hurt a woman.
But his family wasn't on his side, so he had no choice but to drag He Yan into it.
"Xiaoyan, what do you think?"
"But I'm already married, it was all rather hasty."
He Yan was inexplicably called out, and a look of speechlessness flashed across her face. Wasn't today a family dinner? She just wanted to eat in peace.
When He Yiyi heard this, she inexplicably felt that He Yan was just showing off.
The jealousy in her heart had become unrecognizable.
"Sister He Yan, what do you mean by that? Do you think Brother Yun Yi and I are not a good match?"
Seeing that He Yiyi's expression was not good, Xu Yuan immediately targeted He Yan.
The two companies had been business partners for over a decade, and she had also liked He Yunyi for several years, considering herself quite affectionate.
“We come from similar family backgrounds and have a common social circle.”
"Then you are wrong."
He Yan didn't want to meddle in other people's business; she was just analyzing it from a normal person's perspective.
"In a good marriage, liking each other is very important, but it can't be just one person's liking. That would inevitably be unequal and unfair to the other party. Besides, whether one party is qualified or not, they know best in their heart."
"Xiaoyan is right, Mom and Dad. I hope for a free marriage where both parties like each other."
He Yunyi was stunned; he hadn't expected He Yan to actually speak up for him.
He was secretly pleased and took the opportunity to ask his parents to stop pressuring him to get married.
"Sigh... fine, I can't argue with you guys."
Su Wan looked a little embarrassed, but she knew that He Yan was right.
The people at the table had different expressions, and they found the meal tasteless.
Only Xu Yuan was not discouraged. She was determined to be with He Yunyi, and once she liked someone, she wouldn't back down.
He Yan went to the restroom, and Xu Yuan followed her under a pretext.
"He Yan, why don't you support me and Brother Yunyi?"
"Because he doesn't like you, don't you want to marry a man who loves you wholeheartedly?"
He Yan was washing her hands and felt that she was also being wishful.
The important thing is that everyone else clearly knows that He Yunyi has someone in his heart.
She doesn't like Xu Yuan, but she won't harm her.
"The man who loves me wholeheartedly?"
Xu Yuan had never thought about this question; she simply felt that she could stick to what she liked.
But now she's wavering a bit; she's taken his advice to heart.
After dinner, everyone went their separate ways.
He Yan was waiting for a car when she noticed that He Yunyi seemed to have drunk quite a bit, as he was walking unsteadily.
She initially didn't want to pay attention, but she was also a little worried that he was driving under the influence.
“If he really dares to do that, even if we are related by blood, I will report him.”
However, He Yunyi didn't get in the car. Instead, he swayed and walked to a small road next to the hotel, where there was a convenience store.
He Yan followed curiously.
A pretty girl came out of the store.
She appeared to be a store employee, wearing a uniform and carrying something in her hand.
Upon seeing this, He Yunyi immediately followed secretly.
However, he concealed his aura and dared not get too close.
He Yan was shocked.
Looking at He Yunyi's refined appearance, could it be that he goes on a drunken rampage?
Seeing the two getting closer, she hurriedly followed, ready to intervene should He Yunyi dare to do anything inappropriate.
But then, the girl slowed down.
He Yunyi also seemed to be frightened and immediately hid.
He Yan was completely confused, but then realized that He Yunyi didn't seem to be up to anything.
It was more like he was secretly escorting them all the way.
There was almost a huge misunderstanding.
A moment of embarrassment flashed across He Yan's face as she silently withdrew her large nose bag.
