Chapter 595: Chapter 597: The First Meeting with the Future Father-in-Law

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Little White Dove had wanted to meet his girlfriend's parents for a long time. He'd never gotten to meet Suya's mom and dad, but now he'd only just started dating Sheng Xinyi and here he was, meeting them!

It was truly unbelievable.

It also put a lot of pressure on Little White Dove's heart.

"I'm Chen Ge, hello, Uncle!" Little White Dove immediately bowed, nodding at Father Sheng.

Little White Dove could feel the other party's deep, piercing gaze examining him up and down.

This also made Little White Dove nervous to the extreme.

What was he supposed to do? His father-in-law had come in the middle of the night.

Among his brothers, only his brother Muzi had ever experienced something like this.

This was his first time! And he didn't understand the other party at all. If he said the wrong thing, or if his first impression was bad, what was he supposed to do?!

While Little White Dove was nervous, Father Sheng said, "Get in the car. Let's have a chat."

"Okay." Little White Dove took a deep breath.

He saw the Mercedes and let out a sigh.

This Mercedes looked expensive at a glance.

Earlier, Sheng Xinyi had said her family was just an ordinary one.

Was this an ordinary family?

This was clearly either filthy rich or highly influential!

Little White Dove's heart was a bit tormented now.

His mind flashed back to the stern faces of the girl's parents in those TV dramas, where the opening move was always "break up."

Now this was probably here to beat the mandarin ducks apart too.

Little White Dove got into the car.

As a result, he heard Father Sheng ask, "Do you know what our family's circumstances are?"

"I… I'm not too clear on that." Little White Dove's palms began to rub against his pants, and then he heard Father Sheng let out a quiet laugh.

"That's true. If you did know, you probably wouldn't dare date my daughter." Father Sheng nodded.

So Father Sheng briefly explained his family's background to Little White Dove.

After hearing it, Little White Dove found it hard to accept.

Heavens, this was simply an invincible, unmatched family!

Even more influential than those wealthy families!

Little White Dove felt a bit inferior.

Compared to this, his own family's circumstances were truly too poor.

For Sheng Xinyi to like him was practically poverty alleviation.

If she married him, it would be marrying down.

Even if he struggled for dozens of lifetimes, he probably still wouldn't catch up to a fraction of Sheng Xinyi's family.

Little White Dove anxiously placed his hands on his knees.

After a round of mental struggle, he said to Father Sheng, "Uncle, I understand what you mean, but I also want to express my own thoughts."

"I, Chen Ge, truly like Sheng Xinyi, and I want to keep walking forward with her. I'm not the kind of guy who's just playing around and being a scoundrel—I truly want to marry her in the future."

"I know you definitely think my ideas are naive, and you'll probably mockingly think I'm dreaming. But I'll work hard. Maybe not now, maybe not later, but my heart for liking Sheng Xinyi won't change."

"Because I like her, I'm willing to work hard. I'll rely on my own two hands to give Sheng Xinyi a home."

Little White Dove poured out all the thoughts in his heart.

"Why would I mock you?" Father Sheng looked at Little White Dove.

Little White Dove trembled, staring at Father Sheng in astonishment. "Uncle, do you mean you're going to agree to me and Sheng Xinyi being together, and not separate us?"

Father Sheng smiled faintly. "I'm not an unreasonable person. As long as you truly like Xinyi, I won't stand in the way of you two being together."

All the pressure that had originally been in Little White Dove's heart now completely vanished.

He was very excited. After all, he'd done a lot of mental preparation, afraid he wouldn't be able to handle Sheng Xinyi's parents.

Thankfully, the result was good.

While Little White Dove was secretly rejoicing, Father Sheng's next words directly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"I'm not opposed to you two being together, but I need you to agree to one request of mine."

"Uncle, what request? Is it that I need to have a local household registration, or a car and a house?" Little White Dove asked carefully.

Father Sheng shook his head. "No. I already have all the things you mentioned."

"Then you're…" Little White Dove was completely confused.

Since he didn't want any of those things, what exactly did Uncle mean?

While Little White Dove was asking, Father Sheng said to him, "I want you to marry into the family."

"Marry into the family?" Little White Dove's expression turned very ugly.

"Correct."

Father Sheng's gaze turned very sharp as he looked at Little White Dove. "You know, my daughter is an only child. We had her late in life, so we treasure this child very much."

"But my family only has me as a son too." Little White Dove's expression was extremely ugly.

He clenched his fists and asked Father Sheng, "My mom and dad are very traditional people. They probably can't accept this. So what should we do?"

"Either you go solve it, or you two break up. If you can't even handle this one thing, how can I be sure you truly want to treat my daughter well, and can give my daughter true happiness?" Father Sheng's words were very sharp.

This put pressure on Little White Dove.

Little White Dove knew very well what marrying into the family meant.

It was easily associated with living off a woman.

Actually, Little White Dove didn't really mind the eyes of the outside world. As long as he could be with Sheng Xinyi, this was completely not a problem.

But the real problem was on his parents' side.

Little White Dove knew their thinking was traditional, and they definitely wouldn't accept something like this.

But he truly didn't want to break up with Sheng Xinyi.

After dating Sheng Xinyi, Little White Dove realized what a wonderful girl she was. Before, he'd just gone the wrong direction and been in a wrong relationship.

If Sheng Xinyi had been his first love, life would have no regrets—simply perfect.

But if he couldn't handle his parents, he'd have to face breaking up with Sheng Xinyi.

"Young man, actually there's nothing bad about marrying into the family. We're not the feudal type, and we won't look down on you. In addition, we'll support you up the ladder." Father Sheng nodded.

Although it was impossible to give him a very high position, giving him a decent profession was still possible.

It could let the other party not worry for the rest of his life, not needing to struggle for a living at all.

Little White Dove was naturally tempted hearing this.

The Sheng family's capabilities were strong, and the benefits for himself wouldn't be few.

Not to mention that he liked Sheng Xinyi so much.

But now the problem was that he couldn't necessarily choose to marry into the family. His parents' side was definitely a hard hurdle, and there would be many challenges afterward.

"Okay, Uncle, I understand. I'll work hard to persuade my parents." Little White Dove said to Father Sheng.

Father Sheng nodded. He patted Little White Dove's shoulder, giving him affirmation. "I'm still quite optimistic about you. My daughter's judgment is pretty good, and I also hope you won't disappoint me."

Father Sheng only wanted his daughter to stay by his side, not to marry far away.

Otherwise, watching his daughter live a hard life and not being able to come home for a long time—as parents, their hearts would ache too much.

Originally, for a father to watch his daughter leave home to start a family was already a painful thing. If she also lived a rather impoverished life, that would be even worse.
