Chapter 1376: Are They Urging You To Get Married?
As a girl, she was terrified when a strange man rushed into her room. She did not know what to do.
Someone outside was clearly pursuing him. Li Qinglang hid in her room for a while and saw… some things that he should not see.
He was dumbfounded.
Han Jing knew who Li Qinglang was. She had not expected to meet this outstanding senior in such a manner.
Later, Li Qinglang explained to her that, even though he was in the wrong, he had not done it on purpose. He was only trying to avoid the people outside but had not expected to run into Han Jing when she just finished showering.
He did not know what to say and also felt very helpless. He had been helping his brother-in-law. The people pursuing him were from an illegal syndicate.
When Han Jing saw his injuries, she did not make things difficult for him. Besides, she knew who he was. If the Gu family had sent him to do something, then it probably was not anything bad.
She also believed that he was being chased by members of an illegal syndicate.
Li Qinglang said that as long as Han Jing was willing, he would take responsibility for his actions. He would definitely own up to his own actions.
Han Jing also felt rather helpless. He did not mean to. If she let him off, she would be on the losing end. But if she did not let him off, she also would be at a disadvantage…
…
At last, Han Jing had treated his wounds in her room, and when the pursuers left, she allowed Li Qinglang to leave too.
Li Qinglang had earnestly told her that his promise would hold good as long as he did not find anyone he fancied.
If he was married or had a girlfriend when Han Jing looked him up, he would compensate her in other ways.
Han Jing’s feelings were impossible to describe.
But when she calmed down, she realized that Li Qinglang was quite a good man.
This time, Zhong Bingyuan was offering to introduce her to a potential match. The moment she heard it was Li Qinglang, she felt that it was serendipity, so she had agreed.
Han Jing smiled slightly as she looked at the man sitting opposite her. “Is your family urging you to get married?”
Li Qinglang replied, “Not really. They just hope that I can find a girlfriend and interact more with her rather than burying myself with work all the time.
“Of course, it would be best if it leads to marriage!” Li Qinglang added after a pause.
Han Jing understood. It seemed that Li Qinglang’s situation was much better than hers.
At that time, Li Qinglang had been a very influential person in school. Many people knew his family background.
The Li family was a scholarly family but had fallen on hard times, and the entire family moved to a village in the north. Later, when peace returned, his family finally came back.
But they could not retrieve most of their ancestral holdings. Although they received a sizable compensation, it could not compare to their holdings.
At that time, the Li family was very large, and expenses were very heavy. They did not have any way to make a living in the capital and had spent their money very fast.
So Li Qinglang’s family background was not very good.
But he himself was the exception.
His older sister had married the Gu family’s eldest grandson.
The Gu family was one of the top families in the capital.
He followed his older sister when he was young, and even after the Li family returned, he never really left the Gu house. One might say that the Gu family had raised him, and his brother-in-law thought highly of him.
So his background was considered to be excellent and besides, he was an outstanding student at Beijing University. Naturally, he had a bright future.
With that kind of status and Li Qinglang’s present age, he really was in no hurry to get married and have children.
He had lots of time to choose.
Things were different for her.
Her family background was not good enough.
Although her family was from the capital, they had come from a village. Her parents were ordinary peasants. They lived in the countryside and were not very knowledgeable.
Besides, they were very biased against girls.
