"Hello, Uncle, I am Sheng Ting," Sheng Ting took the initiative to greet after a moment.
Shen Juanzhi merely glanced at him indifferently and then looked away without any rush to respond. Instead, he walked over at an unhurried pace and sat down on the couch opposite him.
"Father!" Shen Weiyi reminded him.
Only then did Shen Juanzhi snorted softly and said, "Sit!"
Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache, yet found it somewhat amusing.
"Thank you, uncle!" Sheng Ting didn’t show any dissatisfaction at Shen Juanzhi’s deliberate stalling and coldness, instead sitting down on the couch with a smile.
After sizing Sheng Ting up, Shen Juanzhi hummed to himself in his heart; the young man certainly had the patience: "Tell me, what do you see in that girl?"
Long before the girl had started dating him, Shen Juanzhi had people inquire about him. Aside from the natural discontent that any father-in-law would have toward his daughter’s suitor, even Shen Juanzhi had to admit, grudgingly, that the young man was quite outstanding and barely met his standards for a son-in-law.
That’s why he decided to meet him.
However, due to the issue of going abroad, Shen Juanzhi’s previous favorable impression of him had entirely dissipated.
Now, nothing about him seemed pleasing to Shen Juanzhi.
Before Sheng Ting could speak, Shen Juanzhi snorted again as a reminder, "I’m not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl that you can fool with a few sweet nothings. You’d better think carefully before you answer." If his answer did not satisfy him, the young man should not expect to enter their home easily in the future.
Sheng Ting sat up straight, not at all surprised by Shen Juanzhi’s question, and said, "I know you won’t believe me if I say I liked her the moment I saw her. I don’t know what the standard is for liking someone, but indeed, from the moment I saw her, I felt she was very special. As I got to know her better, I found many things about her that drew me to her, and sometimes, looking at her felt like looking at the sun, irresistible and warm. I want to see her smile, to be good to her. So, if you ask what I like about her, I can’t give a specific answer. I only know that I want to be by her side, to see her every day, and I hope you can give me that opportunity."
"Hmph, at least you’ve got taste. My daughter, Shen Juan, naturally ticks all the boxes, so it’s not surprising that you fell for her at first sight," Shen Juanzhi grudgingly accepted his answer.
Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but want to cover her face.
Even with her thick skin, she couldn’t bear her father’s praise!
"But, you’ve said so much, which amounts to saying nothing." Ultimately, the young man didn’t specify what he liked about her.
Sheng Ting looked at Shen Weiyi: "I think that liking someone definitely includes many aspects that you admire and resonate with, not just because of a single trait or some qualities. I like her, and in my eyes, she’s the best." Liking someone, after all, is simply because their existence is irreplaceable.
Tricking naive young girls might be easy, but convincing him would take a lot more.
Shen Juanzhi: "So, by your reasoning, she doesn’t have any flaws?" Sweet words are easy to say, but this young man shouldn’t think he can dodge the issue with empty phrases.
Shen Juanzhi’s face darkened instantly.
The audacity of this young man!
Didn’t he fear saying the wrong thing and being kicked out by him?
