Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

On the way home.

Shen Zhiyi, who had been holding back her grievances all night, finally couldn't hold back anymore, standing by her parents' side.

Just now, in front of others, she had to be sensible, obedient, and restrained.

Even if he understood that his father's every word was directed at Zhang Yifan.

Even if you're anxious and angry inside, you can only force yourself to hold it in.

Nobody needs her to act now.

The emotions that had been building up all night finally erupted.

In her understanding.

All of my father's actions tonight were deliberate.

They deliberately came to put pressure on us.

He deliberately made sarcastic remarks to provoke Zhang Yifan.

The purpose was to target the two of them and indirectly break them up.

Shen Zhiyi gripped the hem of her clothes, her tone filled with suppressed anger.

"Dad! Why are you doing this?!"

The voice was neither loud nor disruptive, yet it carried a genuine sense of seriousness.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Wanqing quickly tried to mediate.

"Yiyi, your dad isn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Chuan raised his hand to interrupt him.

There wasn't a trace of anger in his voice.

"It's okay, let her talk."

He'll have to hear it today.

My daughter whom I've raised for over ten years.

What kind of things would she say for a boy?

Having received permission, Shen Zhiyi did not back down in the slightest.

This was the first time she had directly defied Shen Chuan.

His attitude was firm, and his eyes were earnest.

"Dad, I know you've always disapproved of my early romantic relationships."

"You've always been against me being with Zhang Yifan."

"But I'm all grown up now, and I have my own judgment and thoughts."

"I will not let down someone who is genuinely good to me just because you object."

"Zhang Yifan is outstanding and has good character. I have never regretted being with him."

"I don't want you to target him anymore, and I especially don't want you to cause trouble for him and his family."

Every sentence is clear, every word is firm.

There was no whining or tantrums.

This is a genuine statement of position.

Shen Chuan remained silent.

The feeling of frustration instantly overwhelmed me.

In his memory.

Shen Zhiyi has been a well-behaved girl since she was a child.

Obedient, sensible, and never disobeys elders.

No matter how big or small the matter, she always went along with his wishes.

He envisioned all sorts of things his daughter would look like when she grew up.

But I never expected this.

This was the first time my daughter talked back, the first time she rebelled, and the first time she stood firmly on the opposite side of me.

It turned out to be a guy I met through dating.

This feeling is very subtle.

I felt a little sad, a little disappointed, and a little dumbfounded.

My beloved daughter, whom I've raised for over a decade, has started to leak air prematurely.

Lu Wanqing looked at Shen Chuan's silent expression.

Then look at my stubborn daughter.

He knew that if he didn't make things clear, the rift between him and his daughter would only deepen.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to reveal the whole truth.

"Yiyi, you've misunderstood your father."

"Your father never intended to cause trouble for Zhang Yifan or the Zhang family."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned, her face full of confusion.

"But what happened at dinner tonight... and what happened when you went to visit his house..."

Lu Wanqing sighed softly and patiently explained.

"Your dad and Uncle Zhang really met by chance while fishing and became fishing buddies."

"It wasn't a deliberate investigation, nor was it an intentional approach."

"During this period, the two of them went fishing and chatted every day."

"When your father first learned that Uncle Zhang was Zhang Yifan's father, he was indeed investigating the matter."

"He just wanted to see what kind of family could raise such an outstanding child."

"After spending so much time together, your father genuinely respects the Zhang family's character."

"The family is simple and honest, without any ulterior motives."

"Most importantly, Uncle Zhang's cooking skills are really good."

"We've been eating at his house quite a few times lately."

Shen Zhiyi was completely dumbfounded.

The anger and resentment that had been building up inside me suddenly stopped.

Lu Wanqing continued speaking, dropping a bombshell.

"And then there's your affair with Yifan."

"Your father and I have talked about this before and discussed it seriously."

"We all agree that you've grown up and have your own judgment."

"Zhang Yifan is a good person, steady and reliable, and he is a good match for you."

"As long as you don't do anything outrageous or cross the line, we won't object to you dating at all."

His words landed.

Shen Zhiyi's brain went blank on the spot.

A large-scale social death scene descended directly upon us.

She just confronted her father with righteous indignation and seriousness.

He both expressed his support for Zhang Yifan and stopped his father from causing trouble.

Full of emotion, with a firm stance.

Looking back now.

This is purely a fabricated scenario in my own mind, nothing but nonsense.

The parents never intended to break up the couple.

They have even tacitly acknowledged their relationship.

Shame, embarrassment, and social humiliation—these three emotions overlapped immediately.

Shen Zhiyi's cheeks flushed, and she was completely at a loss.

She murmured softly.

"Then... what did Dad mean by what he said at the dinner table tonight?"

Seeing her daughter's embarrassed appearance.

Shen Chuan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

His tone carried a hint of arrogance and a touch of helplessness.

"What do you mean?"

"My daughter is dating, what's wrong with me giving her a few words of advice?"

"I'm being so stern just to make that kid cherish you a little more."

"How could I just stand by and watch my precious girl be treated so casually and neglected?"

After saying that, he sighed softly.

His face bore the marks of time, yet it was filtered through the lens of fatherly love.

"As expected, daughters grow up and leave home."

"We raised him with so much care and effort."

"She's not even married yet, and she's already thinking about turning against her father for the sake of outsiders."

These words were spoken.

Shen Zhiyi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

The feeling of guilt surged to its peak.

She quickly leaned forward and reached out to grab Shen Chuan's arm.

Her tone was sweet and cloying, full of coquettishness.

"Dad, I'm sorry~"

"I misunderstood you. I shouldn't have lost my temper and talked back to you."

Shen Chuan, who was just feeling down, was instantly healed.

The frustration, frustration, and heartache in my heart.

The smoke dissipated visibly.

He freed one hand and ruffled Shen Zhiyi's hair.

His tone softened, no longer arguing with the slightest bit.

"Alright, it's not your fault."

"I did deliberately make things difficult for that kid."

"But then again..."

"Zhang Yifan is indeed a good kid."

"His character, upbringing, and values ​​all meet the requirements."

"It barely passed my initial assessment."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiyi felt both warm and guilty.

He called out softly.

"dad……"

Looking at her daughter's well-behaved appearance.

Shen Chuan instantly reverted to his old fox nature.

The style suddenly shifted, and rules were immediately established.

Don't be too happy yet.

"I said the preliminary inspection was successful, not that I completely agree."

"I can accept your campus romance."

"I can accept you going to class together, shopping together, and watching movies together."

"However, I must set a clear bottom line for you beforehand."

"Any behavior that crosses the line or goes out of line is strictly prohibited."

"You're still young, just focus on your studies and get along well with others."

"Stop with all that nonsense!"

This is just normal parental advice.

But when it reached Shen Zhiyi's ears, its destructive power was immediately maximized.

After all, except for the last step, we've basically done everything that should and shouldn't have been done.

Hearing Shen Chuan say this...

Shen Zhiyi immediately felt very guilty.

Her cheeks instantly turned bright red.

His eyes were darting around nervously, and he instinctively looked away.

The more restrained you are, the more guilty you feel.

This unusually small reaction.

It was precisely captured in Shen Chuan's eyes.

Who is Shen Chuan?

A cunning and shrewd old fox.

The ability to read between the lines is at its maximum level.

His previously calm expression froze instantly.

His pupils trembled slightly.

Something is wrong!

Something's really wrong!

I just reminded him not to cross the line.

Normal couples might just feel a little shy at most.

This is how my daughter reacted.

It's not just simple shyness at all.

It's a genuine feeling of guilt!

Shen Chuan's alarm bells went off instantly.

He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of tentative seriousness.

"Understand."

"Tell me the truth."

"How far have things progressed between you two?"

A soul-searching question.

It instantly shattered all of Shen Zhiyi's psychological defenses.

She didn't dare to reply at all; her face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

She raised her hand to cover her face, not daring to look at her father at all.

"Oh, Dad! Don't ask anymore!"

I'm ignoring you!

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Completely refuse to communicate.

Shen Chuan's composure completely crumbled.

At first, it was just a slight suspicion.

This is my daughter's reaction now.

It's basically equivalent to exposing oneself in public.

A sentence flashed through his mind instantly.

Finished!

Tender cabbages that we carefully nurture and raise ourselves.

There's a high probability that they'll really be swayed by that pig that barged in.

It's completely gone.

Shen Chuan took a deep breath.

I forcibly suppressed the emotions surging within me.

In the end, all he could manage to utter was a heartbreaking and angry curse.

"Damn it, you beast!"
