Chapter 835: Chapter 834: You Will Have Such a Day Too!
Lin Xia had just bought a car a few days ago when the one-year period set by Shao Xingbang and Shao Chengzhi ca to an end.
The father and son were in Lu Pengcheng’s study, ready to sit down for a long chat.
Shao Chengzhi got straight to the point and asked, “How’s it going? You and Liang Wei now…?”
Since agreeing to the year-long period with his youngest son, he hadn’t asked about their situation.
He only occasionally heard snippets when Lin Xia chatted with his daughter about things at the factory.
Liang Wei was a good woman, he knew that.
Now, Lin Xia’s career was on the rise, naturally aided by Liang Wei’s support.
People’s mindsets change over ti; back then, he opposed so fiercely that he even ended up in the hospital.
When he thinks back now, those strong emotions are long gone.
Sotis he even wonders, if his youngest son succeeds in pursuing Liang Wei, why wouldn’t they just get married like young people do?
While he is still alive, it would be wonderful if they could give him a grandson or granddaughter.
Shao Xingbang smiled smugly, “Old man, keep your word. Liang Wei agreed to my pursuit a few days ago, and we are now boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Shao Chengzhi raised his eyebrows, “Oh? Why didn’t you tell right away? You’ve been hiding it well; even Lin Xia didn’t ntion it!”
“I wanted to give you a big surprise,” Shao Xingbang explained, “I asked Lin Xia to keep it secret for now, as a trade for teaching her how to drive.”
Shao Chengzhi was both amused and exasperated; typical of his youngest son.
He pointed at Shao Xingbang, “You, what can I say? Not at all like an elder. Xiaozheng asked you to teach Lin Xia to drive, isn’t that what a good uncle should do?
And yet you used that as a trade! Unbelievable…”
Shao Xingbang sincerely explained his thoughts, “Old man, I was afraid that if I said it too early, my sister might start making trouble behind the scenes.
Then all my effort over the past year would go to waste, right back to square one?
Surely you know what my second sister is like? She has been picking on ever since you agreed. If she knew Liang Wei agreed to date , she might find a way to make her back out imdiately.
Last ti she and my sister went to see Liang Wei, I had to work so hard to gain their trust again. It hasn’t been easy for .”
“Xingbang, look at you now? Even I can’t believe it; you really have changed,” Shao Chengzhi said, feeling a bit emotional. The carefree youngest son he rembered seed to be gone, and what remained was soone more grounded.
Shao Xingbang was shalessly proud, “I also can’t believe I would co to this day. Dad, I feel really happy now, truly. It’s like finding where I belong after drifting about like duckweed.”
Shao Chengzhi knew what his son was looking for, so he didn’t beat around the bush, “Alright! Since Liang Wei agreed to you, I have no objections. You guys aren’t young anymore, maybe you should hurry up and get married. That would fulfill my old man’s wishes.
If I have the fortune to see my youngest son’s child, that depends on whether Heaven lets this old man live a few more years.”
Shao Xingbang felt his nose sting with emotion. He stood up and hugged his father, “Dad, you will live a long, healthy life! Not only will you see my children, but also Xiaozheng’s kids go to college!”
Among all the family mbers, he was the one who worried his father the most.
In his youth, he was irresponsible, causing his father a lot of worry.
Thinking back now, he often regretted it.
Shao Chengzhi chided with a smile, “You, how unrealistic, Jingjing and Keke going to college is far away? Given my age? Just seeing you get married would let die in peace, giving an account to your mother.” If he passed away and his youngest son was still alone, that would be his greatest regret.
Shao Xingbang looked up slightly, promising cheerfully, “I will strive to get married as soon as possible!”
“Good! Then I’ll wait for your good news. We don’t need to make a big fuss; just a warm, small ceremony with close family and friends would suffice. What do you think?” Shao Chengzhi, although no longer opposing Liang Wei’s conditions, still didn’t want to face many disapproving looks.
“That sounds perfect, exactly what I had in mind. I’m sure Liang Wei would agree too!”
When Shao Xingbang shared his thoughts on getting married soon with Liang Wei, she hesitated a little but quickly agreed.
“Alright, let’s go along with your family’s wishes. I’m fine in any case.”
Liang Wei felt she wasn’t a young girl anymore and had a son. Shao Xingbang wasn’t young either.
Their union was about living life together, the sooner the better.
When she agreed to Shao Xingbang, she had already thought about getting married after spending so ti together.
This would also let her son officially call him Dad, avoiding those awkward monts when all three of them were out together.
In reality, it was just moving the tiline up a bit; not a big deal.
Shao Xingbang felt he owed Liang Wei, “Liang Wei, I’m sorry. I know if it wasn’t for my father’s health, we could spend a bit more ti together before talking about marriage.
But rest assured, I will treat you and Wenfeng well, I always an what I say!”
“I don’t feel wronged at all. Marrying you and becoming a family for Wenfeng is the greatest blessing for us. Honestly, I feel that you’re the one being wronged.
After all, you’ve never been married, and yet here I am, a widow with a son.”
Liang Wei understood their union would be seen by outsiders as her and her son taking advantage.
Shao Xingbang didn’t like hearing Liang Wei speak like this. He turned her shoulders and spoke tenderly, “Liang Wei, don’t belittle yourself. What matters most is that we have mutual feelings and common ground; external conditions don’t matter, they don’t co with us when we die.
I want to live my life with you, not with conditions.” What he longed for was a confidant who would listen to him, a lifelong partner.
Liang Wei knew Shao Xingbang was sincere, and she looked at him lovingly, “Alright! I won’t say things like that anymore!”
