Chapter 698: Paying Someone Back in Their Own Coin

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

**Boss Cutie**

If he had obeyed his mother, that would have been true foolish filial piety.

It was only after he left his mother that he realized what it was that he would regret for the rest of his life once he truly let it go.

"I'll work hard to make her accept the two of us too," Sheng Xinyi said with a faint smile.

Little White Dove leaned in and kissed Sheng Xinyi's hair. "She definitely will. Right now she just can't see your shining points, but it'll get better later."

Sheng Xinyi nodded. "Then let's go to the supermarket and buy some groceries. Isn't the New Year just a few days away? Even if it's just the two of us this year, we still have to celebrate it wonderfully and happily. If we ought to buy New Year goods, then we buy New Year goods."

"Alright! Let's go!"

Little White Dove and Sheng Xinyi happily headed for the door, but when they opened it, they ran right into the stern middle-aged man outside.

"Dad!"

"Uncle!"

Little White Dove and Sheng Xinyi were both astonished.

The man at the door was Father Sheng.

Father Sheng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at them sharply.

Then his gaze swept over the furnishings in the room. "So you've already started living your little life together. Forgot that this dad of yours still exists, did you."

He walked straight into the room and sat down on the sofa.

Little White Dove immediately turned nervous and trembling. He now realized the gravity of the situation—his future father-in-law had come straight to his door.

The man hadn't thought much of him to begin with, and now he probably had even more objections.

"I'm sorry, Uncle. I acted on my own. This isn't Xinyi's fault."

Sheng Xinyi immediately explained, "No, Dad, this was my own idea. I was the one who didn't want to go home, who wanted to stay with him. If you're going to blame someone, blame me. Please don't be angry at him!"

Father Sheng watched the two of them fighting to take the blame and snorted. "So, it's my fault?"

"Of course it's not your fault, Uncle! Please don't misunderstand!" He was extremely agitated, terrified that Father Sheng would get the wrong idea.

Father Sheng's gaze burned into Little White Dove. "This year, where are you two spending the New Year? Not going back?"

Little White Dove glanced at Sheng Xinyi.

Sheng Xinyi looked a bit constrained.

Just as the atmosphere was turning somewhat gloomy, Father Sheng slapped his thigh and said very seriously, "Xinyi, do you even take me, your dad, seriously?"

"No, Dad, I…"

Just as Sheng Xinyi was about to explain and beg her father not to be so angry, she heard Father Sheng say, "What's there to explain? Isn't it just that you don't treat me as your dad? Not coming home for the New Year—what are you trying to do?"

Sheng Xinyi lowered her lashes. "There's nothing I can do about that."

Father Sheng said, "For our family's celebration, the couplets, the New Year goods—everything's already bought. Everything that should be there is there. Now all that's missing is you two coming home to celebrate."

After hearing Father Sheng's words, Sheng Xinyi was completely dumbfounded.

She almost doubted her own ears. "Dad, what do you mean…"

"What I mean is, I want to spend the New Year with my daughter, and with my girlfriend's boyfriend. What, do you dislike us, don't want to celebrate together? Still want your little New Year's world for two?"

Father Sheng raised an eyebrow.

This made Sheng Xinyi's eyes instantly turn red.

She immediately threw herself into her father's arms.

"Dad, thank you."

From Father Sheng's behavior, it was obvious that he had already accepted Senior Chen Ge.

This made Sheng Xinyi feel that all her efforts during this period hadn't been in vain.

"I only have you as a daughter. I can't let her taste every bitterness in the world. If she's already made her choice, then I can only let her walk this path a little more steadily."

Father Sheng's eyes became very deep.

He especially wanted his daughter to marry a reliable man. Setting aside external conditions, Chen Ge was indeed a reliable person.

He hoped his daughter's judgment wasn't wrong, and that in the end she wouldn't regret choosing the wrong person.

Father Sheng wanted his daughter to be safe and happy, so he was willing to shoulder the burden for her.

Sheng Xinyi shed tears, and watching her, Little White Dove felt moved as well. He truly could sense that fatherly love was like a mountain.

The next day, Father Sheng went to Liaocheng.

When his Audi pulled up in the village, it still drew quite a few people's attention.

After all, an Audi wasn't cheap, especially the latest model—it looked extremely imposing.

Although they had no way of knowing the exact price, one look at the logo was enough to know it wasn't cheap.

A secretary opened the car door for Father Sheng.

Father Sheng stepped out of the car. He looked at the shabby brick house before him, frowned slightly, then returned to calm.

He strode into the house.

Father Chen and Mother Chen had been eating and chatting when they suddenly saw someone come in from outside. They were both startled.

"Who are you?" Mother Chen asked.

"I'm Sheng Xinyi's father," Father Sheng began, introducing himself seriously.

After hearing Father Sheng's words, Father Chen and Mother Chen were clearly caught off guard.

They had absolutely no idea what to do.

They had never imagined that Father Sheng would suddenly show up like this.

"Is something the matter?" Mother Chen responded with some displeasure after adjusting her mindset.

"My daughter is dating your son, and I hear you have some misunderstanding about my daughter." Father Sheng spoke somewhat tactfully, sitting in a chair with his arms crossed.

In truth, he was very unhappy.

Especially after Sheng Xinyi had told him the whole story of what had happened.

But as a father, he still didn't want his daughter to have no place to stand in this family in the future, so he couldn't tear things apart too uglily.

"No misunderstanding. I've already got a girl in mind for my son. We can't reach high enough for your family." Mother Chen responded unhappily.

At that, Father Chen tugged at Mother Chen.

Mother Chen glared at Father Chen in displeasure. "I was only stating the facts."

Mother Chen said to Father Sheng, "Your daughter is very good too. Just go find some other family's child. Our son is an honest man."

However, Father Sheng only let out a cold laugh. "Rest assured, I'm not too satisfied with your son either."

"Then that's just perfect—a clean break. I fully support it!" After learning that Father Sheng hadn't come to stand up for his daughter, Mother Chen was overjoyed.

She desperately hoped her son would find a girl from a small county town and then live in Liaocheng.

"A clean break? We may be willing, but they might not be. Since they can be together, that's fate. Why tear them apart?" Father Sheng had now thought everything through clearly.

Since there was nothing he could do to help the two children, why be a loathsome stumbling block?

That way the two children would only get hurt, and he wouldn't gain anything from it either.

"So you really did come to demand justice. Forget it, suit yourself. This place doesn't exactly welcome you." Mother Chen was quite displeased.

Father Sheng's eyes darkened. He said to Mother Chen, "I hear your son is going abroad next month."

"That's right, and I hear it's sponsored, too." Mother Chen was rather proud when she said this.

Father Sheng leaned back. "That sponsor is a good friend of mine. With just one word from me, he'll definitely cancel the sponsorship. Then you'll have to pay out of your own pocket to send him abroad to study. Given your family's circumstances, I'd guess you can't afford that, can you?"
