<h4>Chapter 1398: Handle With Ease</h4>


    It was awkward for Li Qinng to answer that, so Han Jing said, “Mother, we’ve only known each other for half a year and have just formalized our rtionship 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 Qinng? How would his younger sister gain any respect in the future?


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


    Li Qinng nced 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 Qinng said gently, “It’s gettingte. Do you want to go and cook? I’m hungry. Are you inviting me to stay for lunch?”


    Erm…


    Han Jing was startled.


    Li Qinng smiled gently, “Surely you won’t chase me off without a meal?”


    “No… of course not. This…” Han Jing’s mind went nk.


    It was Han Shu who took over and said to Wang Xiaoqin, “It’s gettingte. Go and cook. Jing Jing, go and help your sister-inw. Mother…”


    “I won’t go. The two of them can manage!”


    Han Shu: “…”


    ......


    Li Qinng 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 Qinng 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-inw, Wang Xiaoqin.


    In the living room, Li Qinng 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 clothingpany. Basically, it’s my older sister and brother-inw’s family that is rich. I’ve lived with my brother-inw since I was a child, and I asionally help him.”


    Li Qinng’s brother-inw was very capable. Han Shu had heard Han Jing mention that before.


    “This… what does your brother-inw do? Are you living together now?”


    “He has a job in the government. I have my own ce.”


    Han Shu was relieved. If he had his own ce, then their rtionship would not be tooplicated. Otherwise, if his sister got married, she would not just have to deal with a mother-inw, she would also have to face a domineering sister-inw.


    “Government? Is your brother-inw a high official?” Mother Han’s eyes immediately gleamed.


    Li Qinng smiled humbly. “It’s just a job. There’s nothing special about it.”


    That was a tacit yes.


    “Oh, that’s wonderful. Your brother-inw is so capable. This… why doesn’t he help you to be an official too? That way…”


    “He didn’t do that because that’s not where my ambitions lie. My brother-inw’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-inw, 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.”
