The next day, Xia Wenxi also called Xia Wensheng back, saying that she had something to tell them. This matter was not a small thing, so of course she would wait until the family was together to talk about it.
Because they are family.
At this moment, Xia Wenxi also wanted to hear her family's thoughts.
The Lin family's affairs, to put it bluntly, are a scandal, so naturally they are being kept quiet as much as possible. Even Xia Wensheng, their close business partner, hasn't heard anything about it.
After all, Lin Shu-yu has partially retired, but his reputation still exists. Moreover, he is over seventy years old. If he gets involved in a sex scandal and it gets out, people will talk about him for a long time.
It's impossible to hide the fact that Jian Yuxiang is hospitalized, but she's over seventy years old, so it's perfectly normal for her to go to the hospital for minor illnesses, and no one will think much of it.
However, Xia Wenxi's sudden outburst, coupled with her serious demeanor before speaking, left her family guessing what was going on before she even opened her mouth.
Xia Wensheng even said to her, "The last time you said you had something to tell us was because you were dating Lin Shen... What's it this time? Breaking up or getting married?"
"Smack—!"
Ke Shurong slapped her son's arm without any hesitation.
"Can't you speak properly? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll get your dad to beat you."
In this family, no one dared to disobey Ke Shurong; she was the only queen in the family.
Xia Wensheng shut up obediently and gestured to Xia Wenxi as if to say "please continue."
“Lin Shen had dinner with me last night, and he told me about what had happened in his family recently.”
In short, Xia Wenxi spoke very slowly, trying to be as careful with her words as possible. After all, one side was her own family, and the other side was Lin Shen's family. She couldn't just say it so bluntly.
No matter how tactfully it's said, the truth is still quite shocking.
Seeing that all three of them had wide eyes, Xia Wenxi continued, "Lin Shen said that once this matter is completely over, he will come and explain things to you himself. He's afraid that I... and you too, will mind him because of his father's situation."
After listening to everything, Xia Hengyuan spoke first. He asked his daughter seriously, "So, Xiaobao, what do you think about this? After all, you're the one with him, so your opinion is the most important."
Xia Wenxi also seriously expressed her thoughts, "I think his father and he shouldn't be confused. At least for now, I'm willing to believe him."
As for the future, Xia Wenxi had thought about it. Human hearts are unpredictable, and she couldn't foresee what the future would hold. But this unpredictability wasn't directed at Lin Shen alone, but at all of them.
Therefore, Xia Wenxi felt that she should live in the present and leave the future to her future self.
"Let me say something too."
Xia Wensheng had already stopped joking around when Xia Wenxi was talking, and now he looked more like Chairman Xia.
"I've known Lin Shen for quite a while now. Although our relationship was lukewarm before, I've always heard that the fourth son of the Lin family is a reliable person."
I've gotten to know him somewhat now; he's completely different from Lin Shuyu.
The social circle is only so big. Even if he didn't have much contact with Lin Shen before, his affairs would still reach Xia Wensheng's ears through various channels.
Not to mention later, the media kept comparing them, and even though he didn't want to pay attention, people would still nag him about it.
Actually, it wasn't just Lin Shen; no one knew that Lin Shuyu had inherited the Lin family's philandering ways. Of the three sons and one daughter in the Lin family, none of them resembled their father in this respect.
Even the most carefree and irresponsible second son of the Lin family was very chaste in his relationships with women.
Lin Zhan's wife was his college classmate. The two were a perfect match, sharing the same ideals and interests, and their lives revolved around eating, drinking, and having fun.
There have never been any rumors about Lin Yu and Lin Ji's relationship.
After Xia Wensheng finished speaking, Ke Shurong also said, "Lin Shen seems to be a decent person. Most importantly, our little Bao likes him, so we can talk about the future later."
Even in the future... it's not a big deal. You can get divorced after marriage, so what's there to be afraid of?
Xia Wensheng seized the opportunity to flatter the king of the Xia family, "Mom, your thinking is truly remarkable!"
The atmosphere lightened considerably, but Xia Hengyuan still frowned and remained silent.
Ke Shurong couldn't help but nudge him, "Say a few words."
"To be honest, Lin Shen is a good kid, but the Lin family, especially that Lin Shuyu, is really annoying with all the fuss. As his father, I really don't want my daughter to marry into that family."
But since you've made your decision, Xiaobao, Dad supports you. Dating is all about having fun; we can worry about the future later.
Hearing this, Xia Wensheng suddenly blurted out, "Dad, if you don't want Wenxi to marry into the family, Lin Shen can marry into the family. I think he'd be more than happy to."
Stop talking nonsense.
"I'm serious!" Xia Wensheng snorted lightly, "Let alone marrying into the family, he'd be happy to take Wenxi's surname."
In fact, Xia Wensheng understood him to some extent. If he had such a terrible father, he wouldn't even want to acknowledge him, let alone change his surname.
Xia Wenxi scratched her head, revealing a complicated expression.
"That's unnecessary, Xia Shen sounds awful."
Xia Wensheng didn't think much of it and joked when she said that, "Looking at our names, if he were to change his name, he'd have to just call himself Xia Wen..."
wrong!
Xia Wensheng abruptly shut his mouth. This name cannot be changed. What if he is replaced? Where can he complain about that?
"Forget it, just keep the surname Lin. If you really don't want the surname Lin, you can always use the surname Jian."
"It's too early to talk about whether she'll marry into the family or not." Ke Shurong was not happy. She felt that her daughter was still young and had just started dating. Why were they talking about marriage?
"Xiao Bao will have to pursue a master's degree, and then a doctorate. Getting married is still a long way off!"
Xia Wenxi fell silent...
Goodness, she hasn't even passed the master's entrance exam yet, how come she's already planning to pursue a doctorate?
However, there is one point she does agree with.
"Mom's right, it's too early to get married. Besides, in our family, shouldn't you get married first before it's our turn?"
After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she saw Xia Wensheng reveal a smile that seemed to be shy...
It shocked her quite a bit.
It was about as shocking as seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
"Mom and Dad, would you agree if I married into Huanhuan's family?"
Ke Shurong glanced at her son and readily agreed, "Of course we agree. Your parents will arrange for a grand sedan chair to carry you out the door."
“Brother, you can also take Minghuan’s surname and be called Mingsheng! What a wonderful name, it’s practically tailor-made for you.”
Xia Wensheng: ? ? ?
How did he end up causing this mess again?
So, if Xia Wenshen is chosen, then Xia Wensheng is no longer needed?
