After the Sheng brothers sat down, a nanny brought them two cups of tea. The two brothers nodded their thanks, but neither of them touched the tea.

Sheng Xiping looked up at the man sitting at the head of the table, dressed in a military green uniform, Wu Yuhua's father, Wu Bingzhong.

This person looks like someone who is usually serious and stern.

Although he seemed to be trying to relax at this moment, the coldness and solemnity between his brows still inspired respect in people.

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, my younger brother is young and inevitably clumsy and inconsiderate in his actions. Please forgive him."

Sheng Xiping spoke first, apologizing on behalf of Sheng Xikang.

"Although this relationship is a matter between two people, if it is to go the distance, it ultimately depends on the harmony of the two families."

At the very least, if you're dating, you should take the initiative to visit my home and ask for my consent.

I only found out yesterday when I got here, and I immediately scolded Xikang. He had acted improperly and was rude.

As soon as he entered the house, Sheng Xiping noticed that there were more men than women in the younger generation of the Wu family. Wu Yuhua was the only girl.

With such a family background, and being one of the few girls among the younger generation, it's easy to imagine that Wu Yuhua was absolutely pampered and spoiled, the apple of everyone's eye in the Wu family.

Now that their precious daughter is about to be snatched away by some wild boy who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, the Wu family must be feeling quite uncomfortable.

别说是吴家了，就是在盛家，盛希平只要一想到，他家那俩妹妹要处对象，将来会嫁给哪个臭小子，他都想揍人。

Therefore, before the Wu family could speak, Sheng Xiping took the initiative to apologize, which could be considered as trying to gain some goodwill for Sheng Xikang.

Although Sheng Xiping didn't have high hopes for her brother's relationship, she still wanted to try. What if there was a chance?

Wu Bingzhong's gaze swept over Sheng Xikang, then looked at Sheng Xiping, before turning to exchange a glance with his wife.

The two exchanged a smile, and Wu Bingzhong's sharp features instantly softened.

Wu Bingzhong coughed lightly before speaking, "Young people are energetic and driven, unlike older people who are hesitant and indecisive. It's normal for them not to think things through."

Wu Bingzhong spoke in a gentler tone, more casually, and more relaxed than before.

"Yesterday, Yu Hua told us that Yu Qing and Yu Cheng also conveyed Comrade Sheng's words."

I have great respect for your father and mother. Forestry workers are remarkable; they work in the deep mountains and forests, silently supporting the country's development.

What is even more admirable is the Sheng family's family tradition.

It's truly remarkable that an ordinary working-class family could raise so many outstanding children—four out of six have been admitted to top universities in the country.

As Wu Bingzhong spoke, he looked at Sheng Xikang with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

These days, it's considered very good if a family can produce one college student; it's something to be proud of.

Of the six children in the Kesheng family, four were admitted to university. It is said that the youngest one also had very good grades and had no problem getting into university.

Such a family is extremely rare, not to mention in a remote small county in Northeast China, even in the capital.

In the years since the resumption of the college entrance examination, people's previous views have changed.

In this era, reading should be the fastest and most effective way to change one's destiny.

Even a family of Wu's standing held great respect for those who were good at studying and talented.

"I invited you brothers here today not to interrogate you, so you don't need to be nervous."

Who hasn't been young? It's normal for children to make friends as they grow up.

Children will eventually grow up and get married; they can't stay at home forever, can they?

We just wanted to see what Xiao Sheng is like and get to know him. As for how you two will get along in the future, that's your business as young people."

Wu Bingzhong could tell that his daughter was poking him from behind, so he stopped being coy and spoke directly.

People these days don't have as much of a concept of wealth and poverty; they pay more attention to a person's family background and values.

Sheng Liancheng came from a poor peasant family with no blemishes and a clean family background. The working class is the backbone of national construction, so his family background was impeccable.

Sheng Xikang is a student at Peking University. It is said that he ranked first in his major every year and was highly respected by teachers and students at the university.

Do you really think the Wu family is stupid? As soon as they found out their daughter was dating, they immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

The results of the survey were quite satisfactory.

Moreover, Sheng Xikang's job is already secured; he will remain in the capital. Someone capable of nearly causing a conflict between government officials and the Jilin province is bound to have a bright future.

The reason I invited the Sheng brothers over today is to see what they look like in person.

He was alright; he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features. His gaze was clear and firm. Facing the Wu family's three-way interrogation, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, nor flustered, and sat there quite steadily.

Given Wu Bingzhong's identity, many children from high-ranking families would be trembling with fear and trepidation in his presence, but the Sheng brothers acted very naturally.

Based on what Wu Yuqing and Wu Yucheng brought back yesterday, and the performance of the Sheng brothers today, Wu Bingzhong was quite satisfied.

Of course, the main reason is that my daughter likes it.

Wu Yuhua said in front of the whole family yesterday that she has set her sights on Sheng Xikang for life, and no one can stop her.

The Wu family only had this one girl, and they spoiled her from childhood to adulthood, giving her whatever she wanted.

Now Wu Yuhua has her eye on a young man, and he's quite outstanding. What can they do? They've ruined the relationship, making their daughter hate her family for the rest of her life?
