He saw how she treated her little niece and the way she relied on her own hard work. She had never considered using the past incident to threaten him and to marry into a noble family. That showed how good her character was.

At least, she was far superior to those educated girls who looked down on girls from poor families.

In Li Qinglang’s opinion, a person’s character was most important, not their family background.

Especially…

This girl. If he got along well with her, Li Qinglang felt that it might be possible to really pursue her.

Although Han Jing came from an ordinary family, within the closely-knit Gu family, Mo family and even his Li family, one’s character was paramount.

As long as there was nothing wrong with Han Jing’s character, everything else was not a problem.

Han Jing looked up at Li Qinglang and pursed her lips. “Thank you. Then… later… if my parents say anything offensive, you don’t… have to be too polite to them. Everyone instinctively fears the strong. You can be more assertive; then they won’t dare to go overboard. That will also buy me more time. No matter what, I must hang on until I graduate.”

Li Qinglang nodded. He understood what Han Jing meant.

Han Jing pointed out the road, and Li Qinglang drove. When they entered the village, they headed for the Han house.

No car had ever driven into the village. When the children saw the car, they all ran after it in delight. Many of the adults also ran out of their houses when they saw that there was a car in the village.

When they got into the village, there were no more paved roads, only mud tracks. The roads were pot-holed and uneven, so the car drove slowly and most of the crowd managed to keep up.

Li Qinglang stopped at the entrance to the Han house and got out of the car.

Everyone gasped when he got out. Such an imposing figure had never been seen in a backward and remote little village like theirs.

Li Qinglang was slightly more casually dressed that day. He was not wearing a suit like before, to avoid stressing out the villagers here.

Although Han Jing disliked her parents, she greatly respected her elder brother. Li Qinglang intended to help her, so he could not use his status to pressure her family. This was a matter of upbringing.

He wore a dark-colored, casual outfit. The material was excellent and clearly expensive. Also, he was driving a little car and wearing a watch. Anyone could tell that he was no ordinary man.

Besides, he was so handsome.

Han Jing blushed when she got out of the car and saw the curious looks of all her neighbors that were crowding around.

This…

She was a little embarrassed.

At that moment, all the Han family members emerged. Mother and Father Han’s eyes grew wide when they saw the little car.

In this era, owning a car was no mean feat!

He was definitely rich.

Even the richest family in their village, the Wangs, did not have a car even though they had many houses!

Han Jing hurriedly introduced everyone. “These are my parents. This is my elder brother and sister-in-law!”

Li Qinglang immediately greeted them. “Uncle, Aunty, Elder Brother, Sister-in-law!”

This was Han Shu’s first time interacting with someone like that. He was a little nervous.

Li Qinglang did not allow the situation to grow awkward. He took some gifts out of the car. First, there were some melon seeds and snacks. He handed them to Han Jing to distribute to the crowd.

Especially the children.

“Here, take this and go and play.”

The children were shocked. They had not expected to get something to eat when they came over to look at the car.

They clutched the food nervously, and many of them forgot to respond.

Only a few remembered to say “Thank you” immediately.
