The prospective son-in-law is finally going to meet his future father-in-law.

Before I got involved with that girl, Shao Baixuan and I could chat and laugh together, and we'd even joke around when we were in the mood. But now...

My heart is trembling... (I can't stop shaking, I just can't stop!)

Shao Baixuan is a person with a strong presence. Speaking of which, I also have a strong presence in front of outsiders, but I become timid when I meet Shao Baixuan.

I am weak, and I dare not look directly into Shao Baixuan's cannibalistic eyes.

After Shao Shuhua met my elders, I planned to go and propose marriage. Although I was nervous at the time, I knew that if I married someone's daughter, I would have to face Shao Baixuan sooner or later. I was determined to cut off my own arm, but when I finally mustered up the courage, I received the news that Shao Baixuan was not in the capital.

Knowing that Shao Baixuan was not in Kyoto, I breathed a long, long, long sigh of relief. Anyway, my mother-in-law has already taken care of things, so it's not bad for me to just lie low for a while. Maybe my mother-in-law can help me win over Shao Baixuan?

I have faith in my mother-in-law's abilities.

I'm just a coward, I admit it!

Unfortunately, I still had to face it. A few days later, I received a summons from Shao Baixuan.

I don't know why he called me to his workplace. Are all these layers of security a way of showing me off and making me feel terrified?

But he did it. My body is indeed trembling right now, which may be due to the extremely cold weather.

Before I came, I called my brother-in-law and Brother Jiang. I was afraid that if I didn't call for reinforcements, I would die and no one would even collect my body.

I sat restlessly in Shao Baixuan's office, while he was busy with official business and didn't even acknowledge me.

If it were someone else, I would have lost my temper long ago. After all, my time is very precious, okay?

But I dared not do so in front of Shao Baixuan.

Now I am just a weakling at Shao Baixuan's mercy.

Just as I was praying that my brother-in-law and Brother Jiang would come to help me quickly, my older brother's father-in-law walked in unexpectedly.

My elder brother's in-laws' surname is Zhang. My sister-in-law's grandfather and Grandpa Mu were also together during the revolution. After hearing about my elder brother's excellence, he decided to take him as his grandson-in-law, since his family was not as large as the Mu family at that time.

Mu Zhenting has two sons and a daughter, while the Zhang family only has one son and one daughter. Although the daughter is weak, she is quite capable in terms of skills. However, the grandson is not so good. He has been physically weak since childhood, and it is impossible for him to shoulder the responsibilities of the family.

He had considered the children in the compound, but he couldn't find one that suited his taste.

Just then, his older sister arrived in Kyoto, where they all saw her excellence. Then, she casually mentioned his older brother and younger uncle, and Old Master Zhang was truly moved.

Although our family is not prominent, if my brother really becomes the son-in-law of the Zhang family because of my sister, then we will be indirectly connected with the Mu family. In addition, with the Jiang family, it can't be said that this is a very good marriage.

Grandpa Zhang was very decisive and efficient. Fearing that other old men might have the same idea, he packed up his granddaughter and sent her to his elder brother's military unit as soon as he got home that day.

My brother isn't the kind of person who can be attracted to just anyone. The fact that he and my sister-in-law became a couple truly speaks volumes about her character and abilities.

Grandpa Zhang's plan succeeded, and after his brother and sister-in-law got married, he often boasted about it to Grandpa Mu and Grandpa Jiang.

Grandpa Mu and Grandpa Jiang were also happy that they had made a loving couple.

"Hey! Third brother, what are you doing here? Do you have something to discuss with our Commander Shao?"

I glanced at Shao Baiyan and then stood up politely to greet him.

Uncle Zhang patted my shoulder, beaming with delight, and said, "You rascal, you've grown even more handsome over the years! I heard you handed over all the money you earned abroad? You're amazing! Such a large sum of money, I've never heard of anything like it in my life. Didn't you feel any pain at the time? By the way, are you still single? Uncle has a really nice girl here, I guarantee you'll like her the moment you see her, she..."

Just as Uncle Zhang was getting into his story, Shao Baixuan interrupted him.

"Old Zhang, what brings you here? You're usually so free. If you have something to say, say it; otherwise, get lost."

Although Uncle Zhang was more than ten years older than Shao Baixuan, the two had worked together for many years, so there were not many taboos in their conversations.

Uncle Zhang grinned and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just happened to be passing by your office and saw Lao San, so I came in to chat for a bit."

Then Uncle Zhang turned to me and said, "Third brother, that girl is really nice. She's your sister-in-law's aunt's daughter. I knew she was perfect for you. She's beautiful with red lips and white teeth, a college graduate, and currently a high school teacher..."

"Get lost, get lost, he's no trouble for you. He's already taken."

Uncle Zhang looked astonished and asked, "You're taken? Third brother, you have a girlfriend? How come I didn't know? The girl I introduced you to is really great. If you two get together, wouldn't that be like strengthening family ties?"

Shao Baixuan got up and strode towards Uncle Zhang, then pushed Uncle Zhang out.

After pushing the person out, fearing that someone else might cause trouble, he immediately closed the office door.

She turned around and looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, saying, "A female teacher who graduated from university? You still want to go on blind dates?"

I was so shocked that I immediately waved my hands: "No, no, no, how could that be? I only have my eye on Shuhua, and I don't want anyone else but her."

He seemed satisfied with my answer and turned back to his desk.

This time, however, he didn't hunch over his work. Instead, he pointed to the thermos flask not far away and said to me, "Add some water."

I felt inexplicably relieved; it seemed like we were already halfway to success.

I was very perceptive and poured out the tea leaves that had been steeping in his cup for a long time, brewed some fresh tea, and then sat back down in my original seat.

Actually, Shao Shuhua had already spoken with Shao Baixuan before he called me over.

Shao Shuhua told him that she had her eye on me for a long time because she thought I was very outstanding, but she didn't dare to be too forward because she was too young. However, she kept an eye on me. She told Shao Baixuan that outstanding people should be seized early, otherwise you will definitely suffer if you are too late.

Although Shao Baixin thought his little girl was too bold, upon closer examination, she realized that it made a lot of sense.

Leaving aside others, let's talk about his wife. Back then, there wasn't a single man in a whole platoon who could escape her advances, but luckily he was thick-skinned and persistent enough to finally win her over.

I have to say I have a really good eye. If it were someone else, I would have been replaced a few years ago, and even if he had come back alive, he might have been gone long ago.

He originally thought that he was a man and his daughter was a girl, and that today's situation was different from what he had thought back then. But after Lao Zhang's interruption, he suddenly realized that outstanding people are not divided by gender.

Just now, in a flash, he was thankful that his daughter had acted quickly enough; otherwise, this coveted prize of his, Xu Laosan, might have ended up in someone else's pocket.

Of course, these were all things that Comrade Shao Baixuan blurted out himself when he was drunk one time.
