Grandma Sheng was completely taken aback by He Yushen's flattery.
He then touched his old face. "Really? Is my skin really that good?"
God knows how much she's worried over the years; she thinks she's aged more than ten years.
I didn't expect to be praised by my grandson-in-law.
He Yushen immediately understood when he saw Sheng Yueqing wink at him.
She showered him with compliments. "Grandma, from the first moment I saw you, I thought you were an angel."
"With your skin, face, and figure, you're even prettier than the village beauty."
Grandma Sheng laughed and slapped him.
"You little rascal, you've got a sweet tongue."
Sheng Yueqing, Mrs. Sheng, and Mr. Sheng all laughed.
Even the maid in the house laughed.
He Yushen was very perceptive and, arm in arm with Old Madam Sheng, said many flattering things to her.
"Don't say that you've worked so hard in this family. You've taken care of everything so well. Having such a good grandma is a blessing from my past life."
Mr. Sheng shook his head as he listened, realizing for the first time that this silly son-in-law was quite the flatterer.
He Yushen looked proud.
I learned all of this from Boss Qian.
He used to be tongue-tied and didn't like to talk.
But he will learn.
Every time he went out with a shrewd person like Boss Qian, he would learn from Boss Qian's effusive praise of the guests.
It's proving really effective when applied to Old Mrs. Sheng now.
No wonder all the rich women Mr. Qian met liked him; it turns out they all love to hear nice things.
Grandma Sheng was indeed very pleased with the coaxing.
Looking at her daughter-in-law's furrowed brows and suppressed expression, she seemed to dislike this son-in-law, so she became even more determined to recruit He Yushen into her gang.
"Good lad, Grandma thinks you're a good person. Although you come from a poor background, Grandma will raise you and I believe you will become a great person."
He Yushen was immediately filled with gratitude and whispered a compliment in Old Madam Sheng's ear, "You're so good to me, the best person in this family."
Grandma Sheng said smugly, "Isn't your mother-in-law good to you?"
He Yushen was quite the actor. "It's not that it's bad, it's just... maybe they think I'm poor."
That's obviously nonsense.
Just to deceive the old lady.
As expected, Old Mrs. Sheng fell for it and glared at her daughter-in-law.
She knew that her daughter-in-law was all talk and no action, a capitalist's daughter who looked down on people like them from the countryside.
So she snorted at Mrs. Sheng, "I like this grandson-in-law."
She'll protect you from now on.
Mrs. Sheng almost rolled her eyes.
But considering that the old lady approves of He Yushen, she doesn't care if she suffers a little injustice.
Otherwise, it would be quite annoying if the old lady started making a fuss.
Let's just do as she wishes and pretend we don't like He Yushen.
The family enjoyed a very warm and cozy meal together that evening.
Even Old Master Sheng, leaning on his cane, looked at Sheng Yueqing with a loving expression.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
He was a man of few words, but his actions were very effective.
They asked Mr. Sheng to go inside and get his treasure chest, which contained a lot of money, as well as some jade pendants, bracelets, and Buddhist beads.
They were all for Sheng Yueqing.
“From a young age, people have said that if you have a daughter, you should save up for her dowry. Our family wasn’t very wealthy back then, so Grandpa thought we should save up a little bit for you from a young age, one thing each year, so that when you reach marriageable age, you can get married in style and be just as good as a rich girl.”
So the old man started saving up a dowry for his granddaughter when she was young.
Although they also wanted a grandson, they were full of love and hope for this granddaughter.
Sheng Yueqing appreciated their kindness and leaned affectionately on the old man's shoulder, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa~"
Grandpa Sheng was very happy.
I just wanted to have a drink to celebrate.
Mr. Sheng immediately had someone bring him some wine.
We've had plenty of wine at home, but we haven't been this happy since.
Now that everyone is here, immediately call Shengjing Heng down.
Sheng Jingheng had just gone out to install a bugging device, but he was called back and quickly sat down.
Now the whole family is together.
Grandpa Sheng had no prejudice against He Yushen; on the contrary, he quite liked him.
The old man could tell at a glance that He Yushen was an honest and simple-minded person.
He even had a drink with He Yushen.
He Yushen spoke sincerely, which pleased the old man.
Even Grandma Sheng liked it quite a bit.
I also asked him about his job.
He Yushen said, "I'm currently a research and development manager at a large auto show in Shanghai, and I plan to move up the ranks in the future."
He was actually afraid that the Sheng family would look down on his profession and think he was not good enough for his wife.
Fortunately, Mr. Sheng has a broad perspective.
"Your job is great. If you develop your career, you can even become your own boss."
If I weren't in the factory, I could come to Kyoto to develop my career.
Now, technology reigns supreme.
He Yushen has good skills, so he can keep moving up the ranks and his future prospects are not bad.
So the old man admired him very much.
Seeing that the old man was satisfied, Grandma Sheng immediately felt that she had good taste.
Only the daughter-in-law, this capitalist's daughter, doesn't understand and has no vision!
Mrs. Sheng looked bewildered as her mother-in-law glared at her again.
But I'm too lazy to bother with it anymore.
Anyway, now that her daughter is back, she can do whatever the old lady wants; she'll just ignore it.
Mr. Sheng quickly served her food and asked her to be understanding.
Grandma Sheng then asked Sheng Yueqing how she found her.
Mrs. Sheng made up an excuse, saying that the child looked exactly like her and matched up in every way, so she found the child.
Grandma Sheng had no doubts.
She believed her son wouldn't randomly claim children as his own.
The fact that his son hasn't had a second child all these years shows that he is a responsible person towards his children.
