He was a decent man and had never said anything bad about anyone behind their back in his life. But now that he learned that the boy named Xing had abducted his precious granddaughter, he could find one hundred and eighty faults in the Xing family.
Old Mrs. Shen said again: “Didn’t you hear what Yinyin said just now? That young man has been chasing the orchestra for a month, and he is meticulous and thoughtful. Think about it, who among the young people today still has this perseverance and this kind of heart?”
Old Mr. Shen frowned and said nothing.
“Old man, there’s something you need to understand. How long can the two of us stay with Yinyin? What we can do now is to find someone who is reliable and treats her well. All other family backgrounds and connotations have to be put aside. Only if Yinyin is happy, we can close our eyes in the future.”
After hearing this, Old Mr. Shen was silent for a long time and then sighed again.
Based on Old Mrs. Shen’s understanding of her husband, she knew that he had figured it out, so she ignored him and turned over to sleep peacefully. As for the old man, let him toss as late as he is willing to. He still thought that he was a young man and was imitating others to stay up all night.

When Xing Yan arrived home, Xing’s father and Xing’s mother were at the dining table. They knew that their son would be home today, but they had no intention of waiting for him to have dinner together.
Seeing him come in, Xing’s father looked him up and down. When he saw that he was still beard and tail, he had no words of concern. He just said disgustedly: “Did you go to Africa? You have such a good temper.”
Xing’s mother finally stood up and came forward, “You’re so thin, you’re so pitiful. Go wash your hands and eat.”
By the time Xing Yan had washed his hands at the table, Xing’s father and Xing’s mother were already slowly drinking sweet soup after dinner. Before they got off the table, he said, “Mom, Dad, I have a girlfriend.”
Xing’s father and Xing’s mother also looked at each other.
Xing’s mother put down the sweet soup, carefully weighed her tone, and said as if she was afraid of hurting his pride: “Son, your father and I have thought about it. We don’t expect a daughter-in-law with a gentle temperament and who can play the violin. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Xing Yan was speechless. Fortunately, he was prepared. He took out his mobile phone and said, “Mom, that’s really my girlfriend. I’m not bragging. Look, there are photos.”
He clicked on the photo album and pulled out the photo he had taken before. When he saw the face of the little beauty above, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
Xing’s father was closer, so he took it and took a look. He rubbed his eyes and took another look, and then he handed it to Xing’s mother.
Xing’s mother took it and looked carefully. She saw two heads on the screen, one big and one small, one white and one black. The girl was not only fair but also very beautiful. She looked at the camera politely, while her son looked at the girl’s faces frivolously, which was so immodest.
“Son, is this true?” Xing’s mother asked cautiously.
“It’s true. She is my girlfriend. She can play the violin. By the way, her grandfather is Old Mr. Shen.” Xing Yan dropped a bomb lightly.
The bomb made Xing’s mother dizzy, her feet were floating, and she grabbed Xing’s father’s arm: “Xing Dashan, did you hear that? Our son really has a literate girlfriend, am I not dreaming?”
Her hand was so strong that Xing’s father secretly bared his teeth and said while holding his breath: “You didn’t dream. It hurts me to death!”
If it was in normal times, Xing’s mother would have choked with him, but now she was generous and didn’t care. She just patted his arm hard and laughed: “I also have a daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law is also a cultural person. Our family will be related to the Shen family! Hahahaha… After all, I am also a cultural person!”
Xing’s father was expressionless after being slapped by her, but he couldn’t fight back, so he could only sweep the death ray toward the instigator.
Xing Yan was very well-behaved at the moment. He lowered his head and took care of himself while waiting silently for his mother to calm down.
“Son, when will you bring my daughter-in-law back to Mom?” After laughing for a long time, Xing’s mother suddenly said.
“I will visit Shen’s house first, and then we can discuss her coming to our house.”
Xing’s mother nodded hurriedly, “Yes, yes, let Old Mr. Shen and Old Mrs. Shen take a look at you first. Son, you have to behave well. Whether Mom can see our daughter-in-law depends entirely on you, Son.”
Xing’s mother looked at Xing Yan eagerly.
However, Xing Yan saw a bit of a threat from her ardent expectations as if she was saying, that if you don’t perform well in the Shen family, you don’t have to come back.
He nodded under the pressure.
Xing’s father suddenly said, “When are you going to visit? Come to my study to pick out a gift.”
Xing Yan was a little surprised. The collections in Xing’s father’s study were all his treasures. They were usually not allowed to be touched, but now he was allowed to choose them. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of money on them.
Xing’s father thought at this time that he couldn’t let his future daughter-in-law’s family look down upon him. As for the blood dripping from his heart, this old man should be used to it…
So after discussing with Jiang Rui, a few days later, Xing Yan came to the door with gifts.
He knocked on the courtyard door and stood outside to look at the courtyard. When he visited for the first time a few months ago, the roses were in full bloom. The breeze blew and the flowers surged, bringing bursts of fragrance. Accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, and there was also lingering music.
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, which sounded familiar. He raised the corners of his mouth, and when the door opened, he opened his arms for a hug, “Baby…”
“Ahem!”
