Sheng Xikang inquired about his family situation, especially his parents. He was worried that his parents would be upset about his older brother losing his job and might develop health problems from holding it in.

Hearing that everything was alright at home, Sheng Xikang felt relieved.

After dinner, Sheng Xiping found a hotel to stay in, while Sheng Xikang and Wu Yuhua returned to school.

That evening, it is unknown what Wu Yuhua told her brother when she got home, but the next morning, two men came to the hotel where Sheng Xiping was staying and knocked on the door.

Wu Yuhua's two older brothers, Wu Yuqing and Wu Yucheng, were actually entrusted by their parents to come and meet Sheng Xikang's family.

When Sheng Xiping learned who the visitor was, his attitude remained normal, neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not overly enthusiastic; everything was just right.

Sheng Xiping didn't hide anything from the Wu family, explaining everything about their situation and who was in the family.

They also indicated that if Sheng Xikang and Wu Yuhua were to get married in the future, the Sheng family could provide financial assistance so they could buy a house in the capital.

As for the two elders of the Sheng family, they will not need Sheng Xikang to support them in their old age. With their eldest son, Sheng Xiping, there is no need for anyone else.

In short, the Sheng family will not hold Sheng Xikang back, nor do they expect Sheng Xikang to repay the family after he becomes successful.

Judging from the current situation of the Sheng family, none of the siblings should become a burden to Sheng Xikang.

The Wu brothers were quite satisfied with Sheng Xiping's attitude and the Sheng family's situation, and the two sides had a good chat.

Finally, before leaving, the Wu brothers told Sheng Xiping to stay in the capital for a few more days and not to rush off.

That afternoon, Sheng Xikang came to find Sheng Xiping and said that the Wu family wanted to invite them over for a visit.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping realized he had passed the first hurdle; the woman's parents wanted to see Sheng Xikang, their prospective son-in-law, in person.

Alright, since they're letting me go, then I'll go.

So the two brothers went out and bought some things: snacks, tea, fruit, and wine. They got four items in total, not too many, not too few, not particularly expensive, but not cheap either.

When visiting someone's home for the first time, it's not appropriate to bring anything particularly valuable; something decent will suffice, as that's just proper etiquette.

After the two brothers finished shopping, they met up with Wu Yuhua and her brother, and then took a car to Xicheng, to some alley on some street, without knowing which one.

Arriving at a courtyard inside the alley, a guard was prominently standing at the entrance.

When Sheng Xiping saw this situation, his heart skipped a beat.

Well, this deal is unlikely to work out. The Wu family's threshold is a bit too high; the Sheng family can't reach it.

But the two brothers had already reached the door, and they had no choice but to go in, so they gritted their teeth and walked in.

This should be a three-courtyard house, and at this moment, there were quite a few people sitting in the main hall.

Two of the couples looked to be in their fifties; it was obvious they were married couples.

In addition, several young people were looking at the two Sheng brothers who came in from outside with curiosity.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, this is Sheng Xikang, my senior from Peking University. This is Senior Sheng's older brother."

Upon entering, Wu Yuhua introduced the two parties without waiting for anyone else to speak.

"Xikang, these are my dad and mom, and these are my second uncle and aunt."

Sheng Xikang handed the things in his hand to Wu Yuhua, then stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Hello Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu."

Sheng Xiping also came over and greeted the four of them.

"Comrade Sheng, please have a seat." The slightly older man, dressed in a military green uniform, nodded and smiled at the Sheng brothers, Sheng Xikang and Sheng Xiping.

The two brothers nodded and sat down in the lower chairs.

Wu Yuhua stood behind her parents, while Wu Yuqing and Wu Yucheng walked to the group of young people.
