Father Shen finally looked up at Su Hang. However, it didn't matter if Father Shen looked at him or not, either way, he was angry at the man. What's more, this stinky boy had the gall to bow his head and smirk in front of him!

"What are you laughing for?" Father Shen snapped.

"Nothing." Su Hang quickly wiped the smile off his face. He hadn't expected Shen Xi to protect him from his father-in-law. He got so happy he couldn't hold back a smile.

"And why were you dawdling by the door? What took you so long?" Father Shen deliberately tried to make things hard for Su Hang.

Su Hang's ears turned red, and his mouth couldn't help but hook up once more.

"I...."

"Whatever, let's just eat." Father Shen interrupted Su Hang with a dark expression on his face.

Based on Su Hang's bashful expression, Father Shen figured that Su Hang's answer wouldn't be anything good!

Seeing his father-in-law stomp away, Su Hang turned to Shen Xi in puzzlement. Who knew that Shen Xi would scowl at him and follow her father to the dining room in a huff?

"Let's eat." Mother Shen stood and gave Su Hang a slice of apple.

"Thank you, mom." Su Hang looked at the apple in his hand and was flattered.

"Dad isn't angry with you. It's just that...." Mother Shen smiled. "You'll understand once you have a daughter."

Daughter? So it was because of Xiao Xi?

"I'll be good to Xiao Xi." Su Hang solemnly guaranteed.

"Good." Mother Su nodded with a smile. "Let's go have dinner."

As Su Hang followed Mother Su to the dining room, he couldn't help but compare the attitude of Shen Xi's parents in the past to their attitudes tonight.

'I'll be good to Shen Xi' was a promise Su Hang uttered practically every time he saw Shen Xi's parents. Whenever he said this phrase, Father Shen would always reluctantly nod, as if he was simply trying to be polite. Mother Shen, on the other hand, would always have a sad look on her face. Their reactions eventually caused Su Hang to become a little afraid of saying these words.

But just now, Mother Shen suddenly smiled at him and treated him kindly. It was the kind of gentleness that Su Hang craved for a long time. Su Hang looked at the apple in his hand and couldn't help but take a bite.

Although Father Shen's demeanor had changed, he still didn't give Su Hang face during dinner and talked to him with non-committal hums and grunts. However, compared to Father Shen's previous attitude, Su Hang much preferred this kind of cool acknowledgment. While Father Shen still obviously disliked him, at least now, Su Hang felt like he was being treated as a son-in-law.

After dinner, Shen Xi accompanied her mother in the living room for a chat, while Su Hang followed Father Shen into the study.

"You've read all the reports I've sent?" Father Shen asked, expressionless.

"Yes." Su Hang nodded.

"Then you know how much working capital Shen company now has. If you want money..."
