Chapter 381: Chapter 381: The Brother-in-Law is Very Impressive
Professor Sheng’s family went out early.
In the past years, they would drag it out until meal time to go. As a result, the old man wouldn’t stop talking, and after lunch, he wouldn’t let them leave, making them stay all the way until dinner.
The lazy bones in the old house had more complaints.
Mother was driving, Sheng Tang and her younger brother were joking in the back seat.
Sheng Tang never mentioned that she and Gu Shiting had beaten Sheng Zhang, afraid that her parents would worry.
But seeing them today, she had to bring it up, to let her parents be mentally prepared.
"Dad, Mom, something happened not long ago..." Sheng Tang stammered.
She gave a brief rundown.
Mother’s grip on the steering wheel almost slipped.
Father turned his head from the passenger seat, surprised, "Why didn’t you tell us before?"
"I was afraid you’d worry," Sheng Tang said honestly.
Father: "..."
They say sons cause trouble, but his daughter is a hundred times tougher than his son.
Mother listened, stayed silent for a moment before speaking, "He deserved it, Tangtang did the right thing! Sometimes you can’t always be weak!"
"Later, Ting’s assistant stepped in, grandfather already knows we are acquainted with the Huishi and Gu families. If he behaves better then, don’t be shocked, Mom and Dad," Sheng Tang said with a smile.
Mother couldn’t help but laugh.
Then, she got a bit worried, "If others find out, it could definitely cause trouble."
"They probably won’t know. Grandfather can hold his tongue. It’s not set in stone yet, he won’t blab," Sheng Tang said.
Mother nodded.
Father didn’t say anything more.
The beating already happened, what’s done is done, they won’t apologize to Sheng Zhang.
Father chuckled bitterly, "This year’s meal will be livelier than in past years."
They used to endure in silence, and the others would still make trouble; last year, they stood up to them repeatedly, this year’s first meal together, it’s unlikely to be peaceful.
"Don’t be afraid of them!" Sheng Zong spoke out, "If they dare to criticize, my sister and brother-in-law will beat them up!"
Gu Shiting’s dish of stir-fried eels had already won over little Sheng Zong’s heart; plus, he beat Sheng Zhang for his sister, little Sheng Zong thought Gu Shiting was amazing.
He was more than willing to accept this brother-in-law.
Sheng Tang knocked on his head a few times, "What brother-in-law? He’s my friend, not my boyfriend!"
Sheng Zong: "..."
Such an obvious fact, and his sister was still trying to cover it up, did she think he was a three-year-old child?
"Don’t talk nonsense, or I won’t be nice to you," Sheng Tang added.
Sheng Zong pouted in grievance. In this regard, the brother-in-law was still more reliable.
Sheng Tang didn’t expect that her entire family had been won over by Gu Shiting. If Gu Shiting were to propose, they would likely agree before she could.
It’s just...
She was still somewhat doubtful about what kind of feelings Gu Shiting had for her.
Did he figure it out himself?
Sheng Tang didn’t feel flustered or have her heart race around him, although she occasionally fantasized about spending a lifetime with him.
This shouldn’t be love. The hormones of love shouldn’t be so calm.
With these thoughts, they arrived at the old house.
On New Year’s Day, there were almost no cars on the street, so the travel time was half of what it usually was.
Secretary Cai greeted them at the door.
Upon entering the Sheng family living room, they saw the old man sitting leisurely on the sofa, drinking tea.
The rest of the Sheng family members were also present.
They had saved seats for Sheng Sidong’s family.
"Grandfather, Happy New Year," Sheng Tang and Sheng Zong approached to greet him.
The old man nodded.
His gaze landed on Sheng Tang’s face, and he was shocked inwardly.
The last time he saw Sheng Tang was over two months ago. Sheng Tang had lost a lot of weight and looked very stunning initially.
However, something seemed off.
Looking at her again, her features were so radiant yet so familiar, wasn’t it the same look Cheng Ruojun used to have?
The old man was startled.
What was going on?
