In the evening, Han Lingshi called him to her office. She wanted him to pick her up and go to the Han Family Mansion together. On the way, they would pick up so gifts for the family mbers.
Hao Ren had no objection, at the mont, he was sending off Dion who just left a file on his desk with a big smile.
…
Half an hour later, Hao Ren and Han Lingshi t, before they took off for the market. The young man asked, "What should we get for Grandma, Mom, and Second Aunt?"
Han Lingshi thought for a bit and said, "Grandma likes plants, so we can probably get flowers. My mom likes accessories from the old tis, so perhaps a hair pin, as for second aunt, she is not picky, and loves anything you buy with love."
Hao Ren thought for a mont before he nodded, and Han Lingshi asked, "You are not going to buy anything for my father, and grandpa? Also, what about your sister-in-law? I bet she is still playing lawyer for you."
The young man smiled and replied, "I have what that pair of old boys like. As for Xuexue, I know what to get. Do not worry. Just follow , I will get the gifts."
Han Lingshi saw him all boosted up and asked, "Mister Hao, where does your confidence co from?"
Hao Ren cleared his throat and replied, "I have a very charming wife, and my confidence cos from my Empress of a wife."
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes while smiling and said, "Glib tongue. Be careful how you act before my grandpa, he does not like sugar coats."
The young man smiled and replied, "We will see."
…
They spent two hours in the market, and it was already seven in the evening. When they reached the Han mansion, Han Lingshi had a peculiar expression on her face. She could not understand the logic behind his gift selection.
The young man parked the vehicle and got down. Han Lingshi led the way, and Hao Ren carried the goodies in his hands. He walked behind her with a smile. The entire Han mansion was aware that the Young Miss will be bringing over her husband.
Yes, the fact that she had already registered her marriage with soone was not a secret. That night when she had a showdown with her family elders, she had confessed boldly.
The head of staff, Emma, was standing by the door, and was surprised to see the two people. She did not expect the mystery husband to be Hao Ren. The image of this man in her mind was clear from the day he cooked.
When the duo reached close, Emma bowed and said, "Welco ho, Young Miss. Mister Hao."
Han Lingshi frowned and wanted to say sothing when Hao Ren replied, "Thank you, Aunt Emma."
Emma was taken aback by his greeting. She thought that last ti he was acting cordial because he wanted to curry favor, however, he was still using that sa address. She did not expect him to be so nice to her.
Han Lingshi said, "Aunt Emma, can you please go and call everyone."
The lady nodded and entered the door before them. Han Lingshi frowned and said, "It appears that these old n have not accepted you, yet."
Hao Ren smiled and asked, "Do you accept ?"
Han Lingshi narrowed her eyes and asked, "You have a doubt?"
Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "No, if you accept , then I cannot care less about the world. Now, shall we go in?"
Han Lingshi nodded and she held his elbow before taking a deep breath as she crossed the door threshold of the house. Hao Ren was relaxed, because he did not care about anyone and anything that may co his way.
The two of them ca to the living room, and found that all the elders were sitting in a semi-circular formation. Han Lingxue was standing behind her mother and making an all the best gesture at Hao Ren.
The young man smiled, Han Lingshi said, "This is Hao Ren, my husband."
"Hmph!", old man Han snorted loudly, making the people register his dissatisfaction.
Hao Ren just smiled and walked forward to greet the people. He first bowed to Madam Han, Gao Yue, who was sitting on the left of Old Man Han, and said, "Good evening Grandma, I hope you are fine."
Gao Yue could not help but smile at him. Hao Ren had greeted her as he knelt on one knee. She did not raise her head to look at his stature, he humbled himself. This gesture of his surprised everyone.
Gao Yue responded, "I am fine child, are you okay? Lingling told about your accident the other day."
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I am perfectly fine, Grandma. Ling took care of with great effort."
Gao Yue smiled when she heard how affectionately he ntioned this. Han Lingshi on the other side, was sinking lower in the couch with her forehead held in her palm.
Hao Ren then went on to say, "Ling has told that you like flowers, so when we were selecting gifts, I got you a few seeds. There is lily, rose, and holy basil."
Gao Yue had an expression similar to Han Lingshi and asked, "Why did you buy seeds? And not flowers?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Grandma, the flowers will wilt in a few days, and I believe that to be a bad on. Thus the plants, as long as they are taken care of, will grow strong and bloom with flowers. My mother has always taught that elders are like big trees that give us shelter from the storms of life. That is why, I got you seeds. If you allow , I will look after them for you."
Gao Yue was stunned, and so was the rest of the people. They did not expect Hao Ren to have such a deep thought. The old lady smiled and her eyes turned into crescent as she said, "Good, you are family now. My Han family is blessed to have such a wise young man."
Han Lingshi knew that her grandma would not make things difficult anyhow, but Hao Ren just bought her with a few sweet words and a bag of seeds. This was unbelievable.
Old Man Han snorted again, and Hao Ren stood up on his feet. His aura changed, and he picked up a file from the table and handed it to the man, he said, "The thing that you wanted more than anything in your whole life, was the shares of Crown Internationals. This file is an agreent that I am naming all my shares to my wife Han Lingshi.
Just so you know, Old Master, I own seventy percent of Crown International stocks."
Old Master Han opened his eyes wide, and Han Tang, his eldest son, had the sa reaction. While the old man was in a daze, Han Tang took the file and began to read and verify the authenticity of the docunts.
Hao Ren did not waste his ti on the two n, and turned to look at his mother-in-law, Yue Shi. He smiled and picked up a brocade box from the table before handing it to her. He said, "Umm, aunty, this is for you."
Yue Shi also smiled faintly and accepted the box, before she opened it. Han Lingxue dashed from across the room to co and stand behind her. Yue Shi smiled at her and said, "What do you think, Xuexue, your brother-in-law has a good taste, no?"
Han Lingxue nodded like a chick pecking on grains and said, "Yes."
Gao Yue asked curiously, "Shishi, what is it?"
Yue Shi picked up a jade and quartz hair pin from the box, and said, "It is a hair pin comb that is designed by a designer called Swann. This comb is a series of ornants. I have four of them, but this fifth one has always been in shortage. It is called the Poetic Moon, the upper part of the pin is a moon carved out of white jade. While the comb is made from quartz."
Gai Yue smiled and said, "The na of the comb is why you like it, don't you?"
Yue Shi smiled and nodded, she looked at Hao Ren and said, "Child, thank you very much. I love it."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "It is the least that I can do."
Then he greeted the second lady, Xia Yulie, and took out a jade bracelet. He said, "Aunty, this bracelet signifies long life, and happiness."
It was made from beads of Green and White jade looking very delicate. Second Lady Han was very happy and she called him, Son. With this the ladies of the family have directly accepted Hao Ren as the son in law.
Han Lingshi was watching the entire scene silently and thinking how her family just sold her for a few words and gifts. Han Lingxue at this mont pouted and asked, "Brother-in-law, where is my gift?"
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "It will be delivered in the morning. However, you have to be careful when you drive it."
Han Lingxue opened her eyes wide and asked, "Did you buy a car?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "You get a Titan. It will keep you safe, and allow you to drive fast as well."
…
A few minutes later, Hao Ren was sitting at the dining table with Han Lingshi beside him, and the Han Family was catering to him with smiles on their faces. Even the n had big smiles.
