Chapter 866: Chapter 708: Liking You Since the First Glance 49_3
Hai En also felt sorry for her, Xiaoxiao, "I’ll come to help you as soon as I graduate."
Hai Ling glanced properly at her younger brother and waved her hand, "Sister is just nagging a bit. If you don’t like it, just do what you enjoy. Some things, once I’ve gotten the hang of them, aren’t as unfamiliar, so don’t worry about it so much."
Hai En shook his head, "Sister, you’ve worked hard enough. Weiwei wants to do what she loves, and we can’t force her, but I have a responsibility, the Hai family responsibility, which shouldn’t all fall on you alone. I’ll graduate as soon as possible and then come back to the company to help you."
Hai Ling felt comforted, "Hai En, you’ve grown up, without us even noticing."
Hai En smiled but said nothing. Lai Wei bit her lip, her eyes lowered; it’s not the right time to say anything now. When she graduates, if Hai Ling needs help, she’d be more than happy to assist. There are plenty of opportunities to achieve dreams, and she doesn’t think there’s a huge difference between chasing dreams now or a bit later.
Furthermore, ideals change constantly, so she’s not sure what she wants to do in the future.
As the meal was about to end, Hai Ling finally remembered to ask, "Weiwei, who else is in your family?"
Lai Wei briefly explained her family’s situation. Hai Ling listened clearly. The alleyways in the capital—truth be told, she had been there once. Dirty, messy, and poor. She doesn’t have any opinions on these historical legacy issues; they’ll all be redeveloped and relocated sooner or later.
Just a bit surprised that such a remarkable child like Lai Wei would come from such a place. Lai Wei looked at Hai Ling nervously. She was somewhat afraid of seeing Hai Ling’s attitude because her initial impression of Hai Ling was quite good, and she was afraid she might have misjudged.
Hai Ling thought for a moment and said, "Isn’t it inconvenient for you and your mother to live there? Actually, the house Hai En and I bought is quite big. You two can move in, and Hai En can find another place to stay."
Lai Wei: "..."
What direction is this going?
She’s kicking her own brother out of the house and inviting a girl who’s not necessarily her future sister-in-law yet to move in. Lai Wei blinked, "Sister Hai Ling, I..."
Hai Ling waved her hand, "Listen to your sister. The environment in the alleyway isn’t good. Living there might not be good for your mother’s health either. Hai En’s place is close to the hospital and your school, so you could even pop back at lunchtime. Having your mother live there might give you peace of mind;
Besides, Hai En is a grown man. It doesn’t matter where he sleeps. You don’t need to feel sorry for him. He enjoyed wild partying abroad, living the playboy life, enjoying luxury homes enough already. Whether he lives in that house or not doesn’t make much difference now."
Hai En was not pleased, "Sis, you can’t say that. I naturally don’t mind if I’m alone, but if Weiwei moves in, I’ll definitely stay there. I need to make breakfast for Weiwei and her family."
Hai Ling was full of disdain, "Are you sure it’s you making breakfast for Weiwei and her mom and not her mom making breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you guys?"
Hai En: "..."
That might be a bit hard to clarify.
Lai Wei smiled, looking at Hai Ling with gratitude, "Sister Hai Ling, never mind, my mom surely won’t agree unless I marry Hai En. It’s fine. Although the environment in our alley is a bit poor, my mom likes it."
Hai Ling could also understand the persistence of the older generation and nodded, "If you have any difficulties, just tell Hai En. Don’t feel embarrassed. You’re boyfriend and girlfriend, and whatever Hai En does for you now, he should be doing it. Understand?"
Lai Wei nodded, too touched to speak.
Hai En wrapped an arm around her shoulder and smiled, "Didn’t I tell you before that my sister is great?"
Lai Wei nodded slightly,
Unaware of this, Hai Ling quickly asked, "Did you spread rumors about me?"
Hai En shook his head plaintively, "No, would I dare to slander you? Sis, look at the photos of you online, always looking serious, with a stern face, never smiling. It’s only natural Weiwei thought you’d be a serious and hard-to-deal-with person. You know this, don’t you?
Next time, change to a nicer photo, and maybe no one will suspect you of being fierce."
"You brat, just shut up."
