Translated by rARA of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

The items that Chen Fang gave Shen Fu, he accepted them, but he wasn’t in the rush to show them to Lin ShuYi. All in all, it was as if sperm got into his brain, but now that he thought this all over, even if he didn’t wait until Lin ShuYi reached twenty, he should at least let Lin ShuYi mentally prepare first. Furthermore, he didn’t have time to give the items to Lin ShuYi anyway, because they had to go back to S city. However, it wasn’t just the two of them, they also brought father Shen, mother Shen, old master Shen. The whole family went together, except Shen Yan.

Shen Yan had to look after the company since there was a big project recently, and if he didn’t do it then his father must. And of course, in the end, he was unreasonably left behind by his wife-con dad because he was single.

The entire day before the departure, Shen Yan’s face was dark.

Ra: “Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” – Big bro forever forgotten, 2k19.

Their stay was too short and the promise from Shen Fu to treat him to Fruit Wood Roast Duck hadn’t been met yet. Even his lovely brother-in-law was taken away, everyone had a pair and only he was single. In short…Brother Shen felt desolated.

Mother Shen was heartbroken when she saw Shen Yan walking around with a black face, fading into existence. She said, “Yan Yan, how about you go with us? We can leave the job to your father.”

Father Shen’s smug smile was instantly petrified. He then turned around looking like a middle-aged giant dog and looked at his wife with tears as if he was wronged. His face was written over with, ‘Do you have the heart to do it, do you, do you?’

Mother Shen was put in a difficult spot.

The more he knew about this family, the more Lin ShuYi felt that this family was moe to death. Who would ever think that the all-powerful, fearsome old master Shen, in reality, was a very protective person who shielded one’s shortcomings.

The gentle but tough fisted father Shen was actually a wife con, or could be referred to as a hen-pecked husband. The dignified, beautiful and outstanding mother Shen was actually an adorkable person. The rich, handsome with an overbearing chairman aura brother Shen was actually a bro-con. Everyone in this family was such a treasure – thought Lin ShuYi as he felt so lucky to get a chance to meet them.

In the end, Shen Yan still stayed behind because, according to old master Shen, father Shen was more appropriate to go than Shen Yan since this trip was to introduce the head of both families.

Thus, two cars, one after the other, left the Shen family house. Before leaving, Lin ShuYi gave old man Yang a call.

Knowing the Shen family wanted to come to S city in person, old man Yang was overwhelmed and couldn’t believe it. Although he knew that Shen Fu’s family wasn’t ordinary, he had never asked about it. It wasn’t until he heard from Xiao Wan’s grandma that he found out the Shen family couldn’t be described with a “family with money.” Don’t even think about coming into contact with them, old man Yang had never even thought of meeting one of them before.

Back then, when he learned about the matter between Lin ShuYi and Shen Fu, he was worried that Shen family would put Lin ShuYi in a difficult spot, but now, seeing the Shen family all came to the S city for Lin ShuYi, it was clear to the eyes how much they treasured him, and enough to see how much care Shen Fu gave to Lin ShuYi. Nevertheless, old man Yang felt that it wasn’t his position to accept the betrothal gifts, despite the fact that both of Lin ShuYi’s parents had gone. He found himself unable to accept it. But he was still very moved by this heart of Lin ShuYi’s, because this action of his was like telling everyone old man Yang was his family.

After hanging up the phone with Lin ShuYi, old man Yang hurriedly called Xiao Wan’s grandma over.

“Slow down, slow down, what’s the situation?”Old man Yang spoke to Xiao Wan’s grandma while opening his wallet, “Hurry, help me see whether my house is messy or not. Xiao Fu’s family is coming over soon but my house is so worn out, I can’t possibly let them think of me as a messy person. I want to buy food but I don’t know what they like. Maybe I should just buy one of everything? Or maybe I should call them to ask…” Old man Yang obviously looked a bit nervous, fidgeting as he kept holding up every object, he was completely at lost to know what to do first.

Xiao Wan’s grandmother’s first reactions was stunned because she didn’t know who old man Yang was talking about. After a while, she finally understood. She patted old man Yang’s arm and smiled, “Don’t be nervous, they are only coming to greet the parents of their son-in-law. And your house, there is nothing in need of cleaning. You love to clean everyday, how can there be dirt? If they want to come, let them. You don’t have to get yourself all tensed up.”

Old man Yang was still muttering to himself about the surroundings, “It’s not the same ah. For them to come here means that they are very fond of Xiao Yi, and I can’t let Xiao Yi down because of my place. Having that said, Xiao Yi sees me as his grandpa, so, as his grandpa, I should also help him properly arrange everything. What about Xiao Yi’s house? Should I clean it too?”

When Xiao Wan’s grandma saw how nervous he was, she stopped teasing him and said, “You already cleaned it yesterday at noon. It’s very tidy and doesn’t need to be cleaned anymore. I will go with you to buy food and whip up something tasty. And when they arrive, there will be a hot meal ready.”

Old man Yang nodded. “Yes, yes, buy food first. Buy food first.”

By the time Lin ShuYi’s car arrived in the city, old man Yang had finished preparing. The stew had been prepared, a stir-fried dish could be done within the minute they arrived, and as soon as they stepped in the house they could start washing their hands to eat.

The moment their car entered the alley, they could see old man Yang squatting at the front door with his eyes half-closed. When old man Yang saw Lin ShuYi in the front seat, he immediately walked over.

Lin ShuYi and Shen Fu both got out of the car first. They greeted him as soon as they saw him. Old man Yang was beaming. After a while, old master Shen walked out of the car with a cane in his hand.

In the end, old man Yang was still a little nervous. Lin ShuYi went over and held his hand.

Old master Shen stood beside them. Before Shen Fu opened his mouth to introduce him, he reached out his hand and smiled, “I’m Shen Fu’s grandpa. I have asked Xiao Yi, the two of us are not really far apart in age, so let’s skip all the formality and just call me Shen DeShan.”
