Among Song Ze's relatives, the only one qualified to interfere in his marriage was probably Old Master Shen.

Although Song Ze would consider his grandfather's feelings, it was impossible for him to completely listen to his grandfather. He didn't like others trying to control him under the guise of doing what was best for him.

"Xiao Song, you should know these things yourself. Our family isn't that well-off, but Qingqing is someone my mother and I have doted on. If anyone bullies her, I'll risk my life to make sure they get away with it," Xia Heping said seriously, his tone carrying a warning from Song Ze. He told her not to think that just because her family is well-off, she can bully his daughter.

Song Ze nodded solemnly: "Uncle Xia, don't worry."

He didn't say that he would definitely treat Xia Qingqing very well in the future. These words are just empty words now. What will happen in the future depends on his specific actions. He will use concrete actions to prove his sincerity.

When Song Ze left, Xia Qingqing was directed by Zhang Hongyan to escort someone away.

Xia Qingqing asked curiously, "What did my dad just say to you?"

"Tell me to take you home to meet my parents," Song Ze said, unable to hide his smile.

However, this matter is not up to him and Xia Heping to decide; he still needs to ask Xia Qingqing's opinion.

"Qingqing, would you like to come home with me to meet Grandpa? We'll just have a meal together so I can formally introduce you to him," Song Ze said, his tone becoming somewhat cautious towards the end.

Seeing that Xia Qingqing didn't speak, Song Ze quickly explained, "I know we're both in school right now and it's not convenient for us to get married. I absolutely didn't mean to force you to get married."

Xia Qingqing nodded: "Sure, let's set a time then."

Song Ze has visited her home several times already, each time bringing large bags of gifts. Even if it's just out of politeness, she should still visit Song Ze's family.

Xia Qingqing had already heard Song Ze describe his family situation. Having a father or not made no difference, and as for his stepmother, there was no need to mention her. The only person she needed to take seriously was Song Ze's maternal grandfather.

She didn't have a bad impression of Song Ze's maternal grandfather, Xia Qingqing. Although he had opposed her being with Song Ze, he only focused his efforts on Song Ze and didn't make things difficult for her or her family.

Her family background was indeed not good; it was something she was born with. It was normal for powerful and influential families to look down on her family background. She wouldn't hold a grudge because of it, since she didn't intend to get anything from Song Ze anyway.

Seeing Xia Qingqing nod, Song Ze's eyes lit up: "How about the day after tomorrow? You can get some rest these two days."

Xia Qingqing's family only arrived in Beijing yesterday, and they were already exhausted from the journey. If he hadn't really wanted to see Qingqing so much, he wouldn't have chosen to visit them today.

"Okay," Xia Qingqing readily agreed.

"Great, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow morning," Song Ze said with a hint of pleasure in his voice, his eyes slightly upturned.

After returning from the Xia family, Song Ze immediately told his grandfather about Xia Qingqing's visit.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Shen smiled with satisfaction: "You rascal, you've finally grown up. I've been telling you to bring your girlfriend home for a while now. I'd like to know when she's coming so I can make some preparations."

He was an old man and didn't have much to talk about with the young girl, so he planned to call his youngest daughter, Shen Huishu, over to help entertain Xia Qingqing.

In fact, this kind of thing should be handled by the man's mother, but Song Ze's biological mother had long since passed away, and his stepmother was even less reliable, so his aunt had to take over.

"We agreed to come over the day after tomorrow, Grandpa, you must do your best that day, don't let me down," Song Ze said with a grin.

Although it was a joke, it also subtly reminded Grandpa Shen.

Originally, what her grandfather had done had left Xia Qingqing with a bad impression, so she was trying to salvage the situation this time.

Grandpa Shen glared at Song Ze angrily: "You brat, are you trying to teach me how to do things? How many lifetimes of good fortune did I accumulate to have such a filial grandson like you?"

"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandchild, I definitely won't hold you back," the tone of the sentence softened noticeably.

Grandpa Shen himself knew that what he did back then was somewhat unethical, but he felt that it was only human nature.

In families like theirs, wouldn't they be worried if their grandson suddenly found a girl from the countryside to date? It doesn't have to be a perfect match in terms of social standing, but the differences shouldn't be too great.

It's not that I dislike girls from rural areas, but if two people have vastly different upbringings and values, it's unlikely to last.

On the other hand, if the Xia family were from the city and their family were from the countryside, the Xia family would probably be even more anxious than their family.

Aren't all elders just trying to do what's best for their children? Xiaoze lost his mother at such a young age, and his father is a complete scoundrel. If this old man doesn't take care of him, who will?

However, he later saw his grandson's determination and realized that this was something he, as an old man, couldn't control, so he simply let them be and let the young people do what they wanted, thinking that maybe he wouldn't object anymore. The two young people broke up on their own not long after.

Unexpectedly, the two not only didn't break up, but also gave him a surprise in the end. The young lady actually got into university with his eldest grandson.

From then on, Old Master Shen had no complaints about Xia Qingqing at all.

The best state for two people to be together is to grow together, which will make the relationship very happy. If the gap between the two people is too large, the relationship will lose its balance.

Grandpa Shen was pleased that Song Ze could make progress alongside that girl named Xia Qingqing.

Grandpa Shen seemed to take his future granddaughter-in-law's visit very seriously. He asked Song Ze about Xia Qingqing's favorite dishes and asked the family's housekeeper to prepare them in advance.

Then he called his youngest daughter and asked her to come over the day after tomorrow to entertain Xia Qingqing.

"Dad, are you serious? Xiaoze is bringing his girlfriend home?" Shen Huishu's voice was filled with surprise.

Shen Huishu had always been curious about Song Ze's girlfriend. She had wanted to meet her since Xia Qingqing came to Beijing to study, but Song Ze refused and forbade them from bothering her.

"Okay, remember to come early the day after tomorrow, and bring Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yi along too. Young people get along well with each other."

"Okay, Dad, don't worry, I'll be there as soon as possible," Shen Huishu readily agreed.

Shen Huishu never expected her father to care so much. He used to be so against Xiaoze being with that girl, but now, the more he opposed it back then, the more he values ​​it now.

She said that as she gets older, she just has nothing better to do and likes to mess around with things.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Huishu began to think about what kind of gift to prepare for the girl. She didn't know what kind of gift the girl liked, and what if she bought something the girl didn't like? Maybe she should just prepare a red envelope.
