Shen Xingsui was shocked by the speed at which his mother changed her face.
But Fu Jinxiao was not really willing to let him hold the box, he instead handed it to Auntie Wu who was next to him. After the housemaid took it, Fu Jinxiao told her some precautions before letting her place it away.
Xu Enzhen whispered to Li Na in front, and the two juniors walked behind.
Seeing Shen Xingsui's frown, Fu Jinxiao whispered, "It seems that Uncle and Shen Minglang are both inside."
Shen Xingsui looked at him in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"
Fu Jinxiao gave him a mysterious smile, "From the way Auntie looked at me just now, I was able to guess a little bit. Do they know about us?"
Shen Xingsui nodded slightly, and he whispered guiltily, "I told my family about this matter. "
He told his family without any prior discussion. Shen Xingsui actually felt a little bit uneasy.
Unexpectedly, the man beside him just gave a low chuckle. Shen Xingsui raised his head and met his handsome eyebrows, and saw that Fu Jinxiao's complexion was gentle. "It's not something to be shameful in the first place. It's time to talk anyway."
Seeing him like this, Shen Xingsui felt relieved.
Then, he thought of the expressions of his father and eldest brother, and said in a low voice, "But Dad and Dage seem to disagree..."
If ordinary people were to face the head of the Shen family, it may be difficult to face the youngest chairman of the Shen family face-to-face. Normal people would definitely be nervous and didn't know what to do, as Shen Minglang was quite a formidable man to go against. But Fu Jinxiao could do it – especially since he already knew of Shen Minglang for a long time. The actor was calm and composed, with a mature and stable aura all over his body. He was without the slightest hint of timidity.
After entering the door, all eyes from the living room focused on the actor.
Fu Jinxiao smiled, and greeted Shen Yong, "Hello, Uncle."
Shen Minglang next to him glanced over coldly, and the smile on Fu Jinxiao's face remained undiminished, he unhurriedly continued his greetings, "Minglang, what a coincidence, our last golf appointment had to be canceled because of an emergency schedule. Next time, I'll be the organizer as an apology."
Shen Minglang closed the magazine, feeling strange, "You are a busy person, do you still have time to do things? This is my home, can it be a coincidence?"
"Oh really?" Fu Jinxiao's smile got a hint of mirth, "Then I will come here often in the future, so you won't miss me."
Shen Minglang: "..."
Only ghosts will miss you.
Two down, one more person to persuade.
Fu Jinxiao took out another exquisite gift box from his pocket and put it on the table in front of Shen Yong, with a kind voice: "Uncle, I was on a business trip abroad some time ago and happened to attend an auction. This watch is made by a master watchmaker."
"This is the last out-of-print work of Master Richard before his death. Thinking that you have been doing a lot of research on clocks and watches, so I bought it for your evaluation."
Shen Yong's eyes fell on the box. As he opened the box, it revealed an exquisite watch.
Even Shen Yong, who has seen many big scenes, was also attracted by the exquisiteness of this watch and its simple and elegant shape. It was hard for any man to refuse the legacy of Richard, the miraculous watchmaker of the century.
But Shen Yong just looked away and said, "I have received it. But it is rare, I think it is better to take it back..."
The meaning of his words was very obvious. Because he didn't want this watch, he could separate himself from Fu Jinxiao.
He refused to accept the kindness, did not admit that he and Fu Jinxiao were a family, and did not want to hand over his youngest son so soon.
"You are too modest, the craftsmanship of this watch and Master Richard's ingenuity and skill, it would be difficult for others to appreciate it all," Fu Jinxiao didn't seem to feel bothered at all. There was also a refined demeanor in front of the weighty elders, and he said with a smile, "So, if this watch is just collected, or if it falls into the hands of people who can't really appreciate it, it will be a waste. And I think that would be slighting Master Richard's handiwork, that's why I think Uncle is the best match for this watch."
These words were really wonderful.
He flattered Shen Yong calmly, and the reasons he gave made it hard to refuse.
Even Shen Yong's cold face at the beginning loosened a lot, he said, "It seems that you also know some watches, have you studied it?"
Fu Jinxiao's smile widened, "I understand a little, but it is still far behind you."
Shen Yong lowered his eyes and glanced at the watch. Of course he would not be really stupid enough to think that Fu Jinxiao really thought that he and that sky-high watch were soulmates. He came to mend his relationship by showing his sincerity. He also knew that this was obviously to ease him into letting Shen Xingsui marry him.
"Don't be humble, you are excellent," Shen Yong said slowly, agreeing on easing their relationship, "You are young, and yet you already have so much success under your belt. I also know about your guidance towards Suisui, and for that, I have to thank you for it."
Fu Jinxiao replied politely, "It is within my own volition to take care of him. Suisui is very cute and smart, I like him very much, and I am blessed to have met him."
Shen Yong insisted, "I don't know much about the entertainment industry, but I have heard about it. Mr. Fu is very charming, and I heard that he has a lot of good luck. You are still young, and yet you have quite a lot of knowledge about the matter of romance. You deserve to be taken care of."
"Dad..."
Shen Xingsui next to him said weakly, "Actually, Mr. Fu's side is very clean, not as messy as the hearsay."
Shen Yong: "..."
His youngest son had his elbow turned outward1turning against his family/siding with an outsider..
Fu Jinxiao was still brightly smiling. Even if he was questioned like this, he didn't feel annoyed at all. Normally, outsiders have to be careful when facing Actor Fu, but in front of his (future) father-in-law, Fu Jinxiao has no temper at all. He played this "good son" persona to the fullest, "There are beauties that I know of, but I do have a couple of suitors. I heard that Mr. Shen was also a man of the hour when he was young, but in the end he met and became acquainted with Auntie, and it became a heartwarming love story."
This made Shen Yong recall the gentle look of his wife when they were young.
Not far away, his wife had already chatted with Li Na about the future, and even thought about their son's future wedding suit, what jewelry to wear as accessories, and what the child's dowry would be. The chat was heated.
Gradually, he accepted this fate.
At least Fu Jinxiao would be a great son-in-law to have.
