"Son, I also hope that you can marry a wife that satisfies you, but I can't just watch you do it half-heartedly!"
"You were born when your father and mother were quite old, not much older than Dawei. Despite so many people's ridicule, your father insisted on letting your mother give birth to you. How could your father not love you?"
In the past, when Old Man Shen raised his eyebrows and glared at Shen Qiushu, Shen Qiushu was completely unconvinced.
