"Also, Uncle and Aunt, tomorrow you should take Shishi to our Longteng Media to sign a formal contract. Our company will provide a professional agent, assistant, artist apartment, a signing bonus, and some specific contracts. Shishi is still a minor, so you need to oversee these matters."
Mr. Liu nodded: "Okay, no problem. Our daughter is amazing, making money at such a young age."
Aunt Liu was also extremely proud: "That's right, you don't even know who gave birth to you."
"Honey, serve the food. What are you waiting for?"
Aunt Liu quickly stood up: "Oh, right, right, please come to the table. Auntie has specially made a lot of delicious food. Shishi specifically asked me to make it. Try Auntie's cooking."
Everyone sat down at the table, and soon Liu Ma brought over a large pile of delicious dishes, including meat and vegetables, and all sorts of things, from animals to things. There were eight dishes and a soup, a very sumptuous meal.
"Come on, have some soup first. I specially made a ginseng and pigeon soup, it's very nourishing, have a taste."
Aunt Liu first ladled two bowls for Shen Fang and Liu Qianqian, as guests are given priority.
Liu's father then took a bottle of Moutai from inside the house.
"Can I have something to drink?"
"Yes, Uncle, I'll have a drink with you."
Mr. Liu nodded happily, raised his glass, and said, "It is a great honor for me to drink with my idol. Today is also a great occasion for my daughter. Let's raise a glass together."
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Aunt Liu enthusiastically placed a large chicken leg on Shen Fang's plate: "Try it, see if Auntie's cooking suits your taste."
Shen Fang grabbed the chicken leg with his hand, took a big bite, and nodded in praise as he chewed, "Auntie's cooking is really delicious, the taste is just right. You could easily be a head chef in a restaurant."
Aunt Liu was overjoyed.
"It's not as good as you say. It's just home-style cooking. Eat more if you like. Come to Auntie's whenever you have free time, and Auntie will cook for you."
Shen Fang's approach was very informal, but the food was so delicious and the praise was spot on. Anyone who cooks likes to hear that, plus the bonus of being a perfect son-in-law, Liu Ma was very pleased with Shen Fang's praise.
However, Shen Fang wasn't exaggerating too much. Given Liu Shishi's foodie nature, it's unlikely that Liu's mother's cooking skills would be lacking.
After drinking a few cups with Liu's father, Shen Fang knew what kind of person Liu's father was. He could only drink a small cup, and after three cups, he was basically done for. At this point, his face was flushed red.
Liu's father was having a great time, but Shen Fang had only just started singing. After so many dinner parties, Shen Fang had gotten used to it and could easily handle 1.5 jin (750 grams).
Seeing that Liu's father was about to get drunk, Shen Fang stopped him. Liu's father looked at Shen Fang, who was not swaying, not blushing, and calm as a mountain, and knew that he could hold his liquor well, so he didn't urge him to drink anymore. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if he drank too much and embarrassed himself.
The meal lasted until 7 p.m., after which Liu Shishi took Liu Qianqian to her room to play.
Liu's mother served tea to Chen Fang and Liu's father; a cup of strong tea after a meal is very effective in relieving hangovers.
The two chatted over tea, discussing everything from movie and TV series production, props, scripts, actors, and acting skills, to novels, stocks, finance, technology, and the internet. Whatever Mr. Liu asked, Shen Fang answered, responding to each question and explaining everything in detail. This broadened Mr. and Mrs. Liu's horizons and made them even more fond of Shen Fang.
Shen Fang spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, neither hurried nor slow, but with gentle elegance and eloquence. His speech, his demeanor—what a fine son-in-law!
Shen Fang, seeing that it was almost time, stood up.
"Uncle, Auntie, it's getting late, so Qianqian and I will head back now. We'll come to visit you both again next time."
Mr. Liu stood up: "Won't you sit a little longer? We're having a great chat."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "It's getting late, and we have things to do tomorrow. Qianqian, stop playing and let's go home. Uncle, I'll come and bother you again next time."
Liu Shishi and Liu Qianqian came out of the room. Liu Qianqian couldn't hide her smile, which showed her teeth. She looked like she was having a lot of fun. Shen Fang rarely saw Qianqian smile so happily.
He took Liu Qianqian and left Liu Shishi's house.
"Goodbye, Brother Shen Fang; goodbye, Qianqian." Liu Shishi waved to the two of them.
"Honey, how's your relationship with this Brother Shen Fang? You seem to like him a little," Aunt Liu said with a smile, holding her daughter's hand.
At the dinner table just now, Liu Shishi kept putting food on Shen Fang's plate, staring at him intently even while eating. Usually, she's very boisterous and unruly at home, but today she was unusually docile, acting like a well-bred young lady, gentle and refined. If it weren't for the fact that she's been raised for over 10 years, Liu's mother would have thought Liu Shishi had taken the wrong medicine.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Liu Shishi's face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and started fidgeting with her fingers.
Liu Ma knew what was going on at a glance; her daughter must have fallen for him.
"Honey, there's a pig trying to rob our cabbage. And this cabbage seems quite willing to be robbed, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu was speechless; these were the words of his mother.
"What are you saying? Our Shishi is only 16 years old."
Liu's mother pursed her lips: "So what if he's 16? There are plenty of mothers in the countryside who are 16. In the past, they would have been married and had children long ago. Daughter, what are you thinking? If you like him, Mom will support you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're just being unreasonable. But Xiao Fang is indeed a very good person, excellent in every way. It's just that men who are too outstanding are more attractive to other men..."
"What's there to be afraid of? Once you're in his company, you'll have a natural advantage. But I think that Liu Tianxian is even prettier than our daughter. I'm afraid our daughter won't be able to win her over."
"What are you saying? Our Shishi is the prettiest." Mr. Liu said, indicating that his little darling was the most beautiful.
"I'm telling the truth. Didn't you see that little girl? She's as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven. Of course, our daughter isn't bad either. Go for it, honey! Mom supports you!!!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi looked up at her mother, who gave her an encouraging look.
...Mom, I'm just a lowly concubine now, aren't you overthinking things...?
