"Dad, what brings you here? Let me know if you need anything and I'll come pick you up."
"Xia Hong, when did Xia Ying get engaged? You should have let me know."
"Dad, I didn't mean to bother you with this little thing while you were at my brother's house.
"Alright, enough of that. What's this guy really like?"
"Dad, you must have already checked, right?"
"Hmph, I investigated what I investigated, and I'm talking about how it was done to our Xia Ying."
"Dad, Guo Weidong is a really good kid. He's capable, and most importantly, he's good to Xia Ying and cares about her."
"Wei Dong's parents also said that they will be on their own to live by then, and they don't need to worry about anything else."
"Hey, this painting on your wall is nice, I haven't seen it before?"
When was it hung up?
"Dad, you think it's good too, right? It looks like the real thing. Look at the paper, it's thick enough and has a nice sheen."
"I liked this painting the moment I saw it."
"It is indeed very nice. I'll take it with me in a bit. It would be nice to hang it in my study."
"Dad, just leave this here."
"Let it gather dust here. I'll take it back and take a look at it. I'll bring it back to you later and see how you look."
Xia Hong had no choice but to nod in agreement. He knew he would have to go to the old man's study to see the painting eventually.
"Dad, this painting was a gift from Weidong's parents."
"Ha, there's such a good thing here. It's not bad for the family. Our Xia Ying is not fussy, so it's perfect for her. Besides, we're here for her."
"Yes, that's what I thought at the time too. Xia Ying has been spoiled since she was little, so naturally she's a bit willful. I believe Wei Dong can tolerate that."
"Yes, I understand. The Guo family shouldn't be underestimated. They also have connections with Old Man Hao. Of course, it depends on how they manage to get along."
"I understand, Dad."
"Good, I'll head back now. There will be quite a few people coming; the Xia family all want to see Weidong."
"There are also quite a few people who have a good relationship with our family. Guo Jianjun and his wife are not ordinary people either."
"I also uncovered quite a few things recently, such as Qin Yecai and others, Xia Hong, do you know them?"
"Dad, I didn't know any of this."
"Yes, most people wouldn't notice these things, but your older brother found out about them, and there's a lot going on here."
"Don't underestimate anyone; they're not as simple as they seem."
"Whether it's Old Man Lin, our family, or Wei Dong and Cheng Cai, they still have a few years until they get married. It all comes down to what kind of person they are."
"I understand, Dad. What are you talking about with the Guo family?"
"It's not a big deal. The details and process of many things are not very clear. More people will pay attention to them in the future."
"It's alright, but you should remind them to be careful."
"This will not only represent them in the future, but also many other people who can be found out by us."
"But they're alright, there's not much going on. That's all your older brother found out."
"I understand, Dad. I'll talk to Weidong about it."
"Okay, that's all. These are minor matters. Jianjun and his wife are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
“Even a simple person couldn’t raise seven successful children, but for the sake of us old folks, we won’t cause too much trouble.”
"I know, Dad."
"Well, I'm going back anyway. Pack this painting up properly, I'll take it with me."
Xia Hong nodded, reluctantly packed up the painting, and gave it to the old man to take away.
