Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Why Don’t You Just Marry into Our Family
"Nian, it’s all thanks to you that this old man survived that day on the train. I’ve never for a moment forgotten your incredible kindness! It’s a shame my two sons are so useless. They searched for so long and still couldn’t find my little benefactor!"
After pulling Shen Nian down to sit on the sofa, He Yixiong began to speak nonstop.
Listening from the side, He Hongming felt a pang of unhappiness. ’If only his old father would be this pleasant and cheerful with him for once!’
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and tell your big brother and his family to get back here right now!"
He Yixiong noticed He Hongming’s gaze, and with a lift of his head, he glared at him. A single sentence was enough to send He Hongming away sheepishly.
Shen Nian found the scene amusing, while Shen Xiangdong’s eyes widened. ’Who would have thought! The same Boss He who’s so powerful and domineering in public is nothing but his old father’s punching bag at home!’
However, this didn’t diminish Shen Xiangdong’s opinion of He Hongming in the slightest, because he knew He Hongming acted this way out of filial piety for his father.
And a filial person was always worthy of respect.
He Hongming’s older brother, He Hongjun, who was He Yixiong’s eldest son, arrived with his family right when He Yixiong and Shen Nian were in the middle of a lively conversation.
Their surprise was no less than He Hongming’s. After all, they had also rarely seen their old man be so enthusiastic with anyone.
’It seems this ’little benefactor’ of the old man’s has captured his heart even more than they imagined!’
"Nian, let me introduce you. This is my eldest son, He Hongjun. He works in a government agency. No need to introduce my second son; you should be quite familiar with him already."
"Yes. Hello, Uncle He. Hello, Aunt He!"
Since He Hongjun looked quite a bit older than He Hongming, Shen Nian called him "Uncle," which conveniently distinguished him from He Hongming.
The two sons of the He Family: one in politics, one in business. Shen Nian figured that since He Hongming was so successful in the commercial world, He Hongjun must be doing quite well in politics, too.
Moreover, looking at He Hongjun’s face, Shen Nian sensed he was a magnanimous and righteous man. People like that were usually good officials.
"Hello, Miss Shen Nian. Thank you for saving my father."
After all, He Hongjun didn’t know Shen Nian well, so he didn’t call her Xiao Nian like He Hongming did.
"You’re all being too kind. I’ve heard so many ’thank yous’ since I walked in the door! Meeting the old gentleman on the train and being able to save him... it must have been fate."
"Yes, it is fate! It’s the fate between you, Nian, and our He Family! Nian, I took a liking to you the moment I saw you. If only you were a child of our family!"
"Grandpa He, I feel we have a real connection, too. You’re as kind as my own grandfather!"
Behind them, He Hongming and He Hongjun couldn’t help but let the corners of their mouths twitch when they heard Shen Nian’s words. ’Someone actually called their father "kind"? How... rare!’
’But, they had to admit, the He Yixiong in front of Shen Nian could almost, just barely, be described with that word!’
"Since we hit it off so well, then how about it, Nian? Why don’t you just marry into our family and become my daughter-in-law! I have an eldest grandson, a few years older than you. He’s at university in Beijing right now. I think you two would be a perfect match!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
He Yixiong’s sudden, whimsical remark didn’t just stun Shen Nian—it stunned everyone in the entire room!
Especially the He brothers. ’How had they never realized their father had a hobby like this?!’
The poor, unsuspecting eldest grandson of the He Family had just been sold out by his own grandfather!
