School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 478 - 479: Talking About Marriage

"Mom, what...what's wrong with you?" Xiao Han looked anxiously at his mother.

"I'm fine," Mother Xiao shook her head.

"At first, you...you were crying!" Xiao Han said anxiously.

"Mommy is crying tears of joy!" Mother Xiao's tears flowed even more as she hurriedly wiped them away. She had waited far too long for this day. Never had she imagined that her son would grow up without her realizing it. Moreover, he had grown into a towering tree, one that could provide shade for her without her knowing.

"Mom, are you okay?" Xiao Han saw his mother getting increasingly agitated and suddenly didn't know what to do. He hurriedly fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a bank card, then said, "Mom, this...this is all my money, now I'm giving it to you to manage."

Mother Xiao reached out and took the bank card from Xiao Han's hand, her hands trembling. Inside that card were tens of millions in funds. Mother Xiao anxiously asked, "Xiao Han, how much money is in here?"

"Over twenty million," Xiao Han hurriedly replied.

Slap...

Mother Xiao's hand trembled, and the bank card fell to the ground. Her face went pale with fright as she hurriedly bent down to pick it up, terrified that the money inside would somehow disappear with the fall. She picked it up anxiously and asked, "This...this much money?"

"Not much," Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I plan to turn my company into a group corporation next year and aim to go public within three years."

"Go public?!" Mother Xiao was stunned.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "Within three years, as long as we go public, the company's funds can grow explosively. By then, we can have as much money as we want."

"Great, great!" Upon hearing this, Mother Xiao was even more excited.

She held the bank card tightly in her hand, afraid that it would run away if it left her field of vision. In fact, she didn't really care about the bank card itself but felt that the significance of this bank card was too extraordinary, too different. It represented the first step toward her son's success, that he had made something of himself and brought honor to his ancestors.

Mother Xiao stood still on the spot, not moving, while Xiao Han stood silently by her side, not wanting to disturb his mother as she reflected in silence.

After a long time, a solemn expression returned to Mother Xiao's face. She swallowed.

"Xiao Han, come with me," Mother Xiao said.

"Yes!" Xiao Han obediently nodded.

In the whole world, he might distrust anyone but never his mother. His mother was his sky, his earth. Everyone in the world might forsake him, but not his mother. This was a firm belief in Xiao Han's heart.

Mother Xiao walked into the living room, to the memorial tablet of Father Xiao.

"Kneel down!" Mother Xiao said sternly.

Thump...

Xiao Han did not hesitate and immediately knelt down. He then looked up at his father's memorial tablet and the spirit tablet. Beside him, Mother Xiao quickly lit some candles and incense. She made offerings to her father first, holding the bank card and excitedly saying, "Old Xiao, our son has made something of himself, have you seen? Our son has finally succeeded."

Xiao Han dutifully knelt in front of the candles and incense, saying nothing.

Thinking back on his father's death, Xiao Han was always haunted by it. He had witnessed the car mercilessly hitting his father. His father, like a kite with its string cut, traced an arc in the air, then crashed hard to the ground.

Mother Xiao muttered in front of Father Xiao's memorial, talking about everyday family matters. Today, what she talked about the most was how their son had finally made something of himself. That Xiao Han had reached this point today was undoubtedly thanks to Father Xiao. At least, Potential No. 2 had played a significant role in his brain; without it, Xiao Han might not have survived many times.

However, since his father had injected him with Potential No. 2, it meant his life had undergone a massive change. He could control his own life, his own world. Moreover, he could avenge his father.

Thinking this, a fiery hatred surged in Xiao Han's mind.

Now, he indeed possessed powerful abilities. Although he had been hiding and did not know what his hidden enemies were like, Xiao Han understood that they must be people with significant influence and background. Even the Genetic Research Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had been persecuted by them, which showed that these people were no trivial matter. Xiao Han should not reveal his identity rashly before his strength grew.

However, he still felt too insignificant and weak; likely, they would not notice his existence.

"Xiao Han," Mother Xiao said after finishing, "you can get up now."

"Mom, please stop crying," Xiao Han said, looking pained.

"No, I'm not crying!" Mother Xiao shook her head, "I'm happy, very happy. My son has succeeded, I'm so happy!"

"Then you..." Xiao Han pursed his lips.

"Alright, I'm giving you back this bank card," Mother Xiao said with a smile.

"Mom, I plan to let you manage my money!" Xiao Han laughed.

"Silly child, this money is all earned by you, so it should be managed by you." Mother Xiao smiled and then said, "Besides, I'm old now, I don't know how to manage money. There's so much in it, how would I know what to do? So, I'm giving this card back to you."

"Mom!" Xiao Han refused to accept it.

Having a successful son should naturally share with his mother. Having just seen his mother's excited expression, Xiao Han felt all his hard work was worth it. At least he believed it was. However, his own mother didn't want to share the happiness and the fruits of joy with him, which made Xiao Han somewhat sad.

"Silly boy," Mother Xiao laughed, "Do you know what my biggest wish is now?"

"What?!" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

"My biggest wish now is for you to quickly find a woman who can manage your money," Mother Xiao said bluntly. "Although you're only a freshman, I feel it's better early than late. What do you think of the Liu family's girl?"

"Who?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment.

"Liu Xiaolei," Mother Xiao said.

"Ah?!" Xiao Han said awkwardly, "Sister Xiaolei… she's pretty good."

"So… how about I visit them after the New Year and arrange this marriage for you?" Mother Xiao smiled and said, "Although the Liu family is poor, they match our family well. And we know the Liu family very well. If you find someone from outside, you will have to spend time getting to know her, right?"

"Mom, don't you think this is all too soon?" Xiao Han frowned.

"Not soon, not soon!" Mother Xiao hurriedly shook her head and said, "People used to get married at thirteen, fifteen. You are already twenty-one."

"Mom, I'm only twenty this year!" Xiao Han hurriedly said.

"Nominal age twenty-one," Mother Xiao quickly argued, then said, "In a few days, you'll be twenty-two."

Pfft…

When Xiao Han heard this, he nearly spit out a mouthful of water and said, "I haven't even turned twenty-one, how could I be twenty-two?"

"After the New Year passes, you'll age another year," Mother Xiao lovingly looked at her son.

For many years, she had been eagerly waiting for her son to grow up, hoping he would mature soon and bring more descendants to Old Xiao's family. After all, he was their only child; all their hopes and everything were pinned on him. Therefore, the pressure on Xiao Han was immense, as were his responsibilities.

"That still doesn't make it right," Xiao Han said helplessly.

"Alright, go out and play," Mother Xiao said with a smile, looking at her son, then added, "I need to give the house a major cleaning."

"Mom, let me help you!" Xiao Han quickly said.

"Good, the New Year is approaching, it's time for a big cleanup," Mother Xiao hurriedly said.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

Mother Xiao was a very content person; she wasn't swayed by her son earning money to live in a mansion or drive luxury cars. She was still willing to live in the Fuxing Community. Moreover, she was very satisfied and pleased with her son. She was grateful for the current society, where she rightly belonged to a career unit. Her monthly salary was not only enough for her own living but also allowed her to save quite a bit, and the festive benefits were very generous too.

The mother and son began to clean the house.

......

Fuxing Community Residents' Committee.

Auntie Zhou hurried back to the office with urgency; the office staff, still at their desks, knew they had to work until New Year's Eve. And only on the morning of New Year's Eve could they start their holiday. Since it was the end of the year, everyone was hardly in the mood to work, eagerly waiting for the holidays to start.

Upon returning to the office, Auntie Zhou, panting, first took a sip of water.

Everyone curiously watched Auntie Zhou, a look of curiosity on their faces, not understanding why she was so excited.

"Sister Zhou, why are you so excited?" an older lady curiously asked.

"Great news, comrades, great news," Auntie Zhou quickly said, "A huge good news is coming!"

"What happened?" Everyone stood up from their seats.

"Quick, gather the other comrades; we need to have a meeting," Auntie Zhou said, surprising everyone with a meeting first thing in the morning.
