It was awkward for Li Qinglang to answer that, so Han Jing said, "Mother, we\'ve only known each other for half a year and have just formalized our relationship two months ago. How can I get married? I haven\'t even graduated yet!"

"You can\'t get married even after half a year? You still want to wait for graduation? Who would want you after graduation?"

"Mother, what are you saying?" Han Shu was fuming. How could she say that about his younger sister in front of Li Qinglang? How would his younger sister gain any respect in the future?

Han Jing had described her family situation before, so Li Qinglang was not very surprised. He could tell that this older brother was sincerely concerned for his younger sister.

Li Qinglang glanced at Han Jing. The girl was trying to hold in her rage as it would not be nice to argue right now. She would definitely be upset if he was too assertive, even if she was mentally prepared for it, and had even requested him to act like that.

Li Qinglang said gently, "It\'s getting late. Do you want to go and cook? I\'m hungry. Are you inviting me to stay for lunch?"

Erm…

Han Jing was startled.

Li Qinglang smiled gently, "Surely you won\'t chase me off without a meal?"

"No… of course not. This…" Han Jing\'s mind went blank.

It was Han Shu who took over and said to Wang Xiaoqin, "It\'s getting late. Go and cook. Jing Jing, go and help your sister-in-law. Mother…"

"I won\'t go. The two of them can manage!"

Han Shu: "…"

Li Qinglang said to Han Jing, "Go on! I\'ll chat with Elder Brother."

"It\'ll be awkward for him to ask me questions if you\'re present."

Han Jing had no choice. Li Qinglang and her elder brother had already said so, so she could not insist on lingering here, especially when her parents also shooed her away. She had no choice but to leave with her sister-in-law, Wang Xiaoqin.

In the living room, Li Qinglang looked at Han Shu and smiled. "Elder Brother, there\'s no need to stand on ceremony. I know you\'re concerned for Jing Jing. If you want to know anything, you can just ask me directly."

"I… I have an older sister who is much older than me. She got married long ago, and her children are in their teens. My parents are not important people. Right now, they have a little shop and run a small business.

"My older sister runs a clothing company. Basically, it\'s my older sister and brother-in-law\'s family that is rich. I\'ve lived with my brother-in-law since I was a child, and I occasionally help him."

Li Qinglang\'s brother-in-law was very capable. Han Shu had heard Han Jing mention that before.

"This… what does your brother-in-law do? Are you living together now?"

"He has a job in the government. I have my own place."

Han Shu was relieved. If he had his own place, then their relationship would not be too complicated. Otherwise, if his sister got married, she would not just have to deal with a mother-in-law, she would also have to face a domineering sister-in-law.

"Government? Is your brother-in-law a high official?" Mother Han\'s eyes immediately gleamed.

Li Qinglang smiled humbly. "It\'s just a job. There\'s nothing special about it."

That was a tacit yes.

"Oh, that\'s wonderful. Your brother-in-law is so capable. This… why doesn\'t he help you to become an official too? That way…"

"He didn\'t do that because that\'s not where my ambitions lie. My brother-in-law\'s position is sufficient for our family!"

Mother Han: "…"

Mother Han was about to rebuke him when Father Han said, "That means your family is doing very well, but mainly because of your brother-in-law, not because of you.

"My daughter is a university student and attends a prestigious university. She is pretty too. If you don\'t meet our requirements, we won\'t marry our daughter to you."
