Chapter 219
A trace of thought flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she spoke slowly. "Geng'er, I know you want Shen Ye and Fu Lingling to be together. The Fu family and our family are indeed well-matched, but marriage is not simply a matter of matching the background."

There was a hint of gentleness and persuasion in her voice. "Shen Ye is a sensible child. He should have his own ideas about his own marriage. If he doesn't have any affection for Fu Lingling, we will force them to match, and we will only create a bitter couple in the end."

There was a hint of reproach in the old lady's words. "Geng'er, you are Shen Ye's biological father, don't you think you can't see his happiness that much? Marriage is a major event in a lifetime, and whether he is happy or not should be decided by himself."

There was a mother's love in her voice. "I know you think about the family, but we can't ignore the feelings of two people just because they are in the same family. What's the point of giving him a woman he doesn't love as his wife?"

The old lady's gaze was fixed on the eldest son. "I hope you can think more about Shen Ye and listen to his heart. He is a mature and sensible young man, and his choice must be reasonable."

Her words are full of persuasion and appeal. "Geng'er, don't just look at the surface, but also look at the heart. Shen Ye has the right to pursue his own happiness. I hope you can understand him and support his choice."

The old lady's words contained the mother's affectionate expectations. She hoped that the eldest son could understand that the happiness of marriage should be based on mutual love and understanding between the two.

Shen Geng's face darkened, and he frowned tightly, showing dissatisfaction in his tone. "Mom, what are you talking about? I am Shen Ye's own father, and he is my pride. How could I not wish for his happiness."

There was a hint of contradiction in his voice. "I just think he can have a better choice. Being with Xu Mu Xiaoxi is too wronged her. If he wants to find her with her conditions, how can he not find it?"

There was a trace of complaint in Shen Geng's tone. "Now we need all of us to act together, pretending to be a peasant uncle. Although this Xu Mu Xiaoxi is good, there is a gap in family status and family background."

He frowned even tighter, and there was a trace of helplessness in his tone. "I know they got a marriage certificate, but I just think this matter is too hasty and doesn't think about the future."

Shen Geng's words were mixed with worries about the future. "With such a gap in family status, how will we live in the future? The paths of the two of them are completely different."

There was a trace of resentment in his tone. "I know you are interested in her character, but sometimes character is not everything, and the right family is the long-term solution."

Shen Geng's words were full of dissatisfaction and complaints. "I am thinking about Shen Ye's future, but you always don't understand me. He is young and ignorant now, and I am responsible for his future."

There was a flash of determination in his eyes, and he was full of confidence in his choice. "Mom, if you don't understand, that's fine, I will continue to persuade Shen Ye to let him understand this truth."

There was a trace of determination in Shen Geng's voice, his position was unwavering, he hoped that his son would have a better future.

The uncle looked at the debate and said softly, "Dad, I actually think Xu Mu Xiaoxi is pretty good. Although she comes from an ordinary family, she has a really good personality. I have met her a few times and think she is very good." Sincerity is also very good to Shen Ye. It is important to be in a good family, but now that society is developing so fast, family status is not the only criterion for measuring happiness."

The brother-in-law's words reveal rationality and tolerance. "Dad, although there is a gap between our family and the Fu's family, it is not the key to determining whether two people are happy. Shen Ye and Xu Mu Xiaoxi are together, and I think they can better see their true intentions."

There was firm conviction in his tone. "Moreover, Xu Mu Xiaoxi is working hard now, and has her own plans and goals. I think she is very independent and has a positive influence on Shen Ye."

My brother-in-law's words are full of support and encouragement. "I believe that as long as the two of them understand and support each other, even if there is a gap between the two of them, they can create a beautiful life."

Shen Ye's younger sisters also expressed their views one after another.One of the younger sisters said: "Brother-in-law, I think Xu Mu Xiaoxi is really nice. I have talked to her a few times, and I think she is very kind and hardworking. She is still paying off her debts, but she never escapes, but Walking step by step."

There was admiration and recognition in her voice. "I believe that brother-in-law and Xu Mu Xiaoxi can achieve each other and create a better future together."

Another sister also added: "And, brother-in-law, you and Xu Mu Xiaoxi have already obtained a marriage certificate and signed an agreement. She will pay off the debt she owes by herself, and it will not affect brother-in-law's life. This also proves that her sincerity and sense of responsibility.”

Her words were filled with trust and support. "Brother-in-law, I believe that the two of you can create a happy life together. Being well-matched is not the only criterion, the most important thing is whether you two really love each other."

Listening to what his son and sisters said, Shen Geng's face gradually softened, and the worries in his heart also eased.Their support and understanding made him feel the warmth and trust of his family, and it also made him start to rethink the meaning of this marriage.

Shen Ye's mother frowned slightly, looked at her husband Shen Geng and said, "Listen, Mu Xiaoxi will come later, you can't show her face. If you dare to show off in front of her, I won't be polite .”

There was determination and no doubt in her tone. "We are all Shen Ye's family members, no matter what our impression of her is, we must give her face and respect her."

Her eyes were sharp and full of warning. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you are the boss. The happiness of our son is his own choice. All we can do is support him and respect his decision."

There was an unquestionable tone in her words. "If you dare to play some prestige in front of Mu Xiaoxi, I don't guarantee that you won't be criticized in public."

There was determination and menace in her voice. "This is not only our respect for our son, but also our respect for her. If you are disobedient, hey, I won't let you off easily."

Her expression was serious and her eyes were like knives. "So, you'd better be honest with me in front of her, and don't put on airs, you know?"

There was no compromise in her threatening words, as if giving an ultimatum.The old lady's resolute attitude made Shen Geng feel chills in his heart. He knew that the old wife's words this time were not just empty words. If he really angered the old lady, the consequences would be disastrous.

Shen Geng inevitably had some contradictions and entanglements in his heart.He sat aside, thinking about this strange family atmosphere secretly.

"Why is it so abnormal?" He asked himself secretly, he had seen many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, even constant quarrels, quarreling endlessly over trivial family matters.However, the situation in his own family is just the opposite. The relationship between the old wife and his son's wife is extremely harmonious, even closer than the biological mother and son and daughter-in-law.

The confusion in his heart gradually deepened. He tried to understand the thoughts of his old mother and wife, but there always seemed to be something incomprehensible.He knew in his heart that the reason why the old lady supported Mu Xiaoxi so much was because of her character and hard work, but as a father, he always felt that Shen Ye should have a better choice, and Fu Lingling seemed to be more suitable for him. Expected.

"Am I really wrong?" He wondered secretly.The worry in his heart and the expectation for Shen Ye's happiness were intertwined in his heart, which prevented him from making an easy decision.He is a person who values ​​tradition and family, and attaches great importance to being well-matched and family honor, which is why he has doubts about Shen Ye and Xu Mu Xiaoxi's marriage.

However, the attitude of the old lady and his wife made him feel unable to stand firm.He knows very well that the wishes of the old lady have great influence in the family. If he really insists on opposing it, it may cause family disputes, which he does not want to see.

His heart wavered, contradictions and confusion intertwined in his heart, and he began to reflect on his own concepts and attitudes.Perhaps, he needs more time to sort out his thoughts and find a balance point that can respect both tradition and Shen Ye's happiness.

Shen Geng looked at his wife sitting on the side, and felt their firm attitude and unshakable determination.He sighed, and couldn't help but said helplessly: "Well, since you all value her so much, I will cooperate with the acting."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice. He knew that he was in the minority in this debate. If he continued to oppose it, it would only cause more disputes and conflicts.He didn't want to see the family split because of this, and he also understood that the wishes of the old lady and his wife were for the harmony of the family.

Although he was still hesitant and unwilling in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to argue.He decided to compromise for the time being, to see how things develop, and to give himself more time to think and adjust his thoughts.After all, he was Shen Ye's biological father, and he hoped that his son would be happy.

His eyes turned out of the window, as if he was thinking about many things.He understands that what he is facing is a complicated choice, not only the harmony of the family, but also the happiness of his son.Although he still has some dissatisfaction and doubts, he decided to respect the wishes of his family. At least at this stage, he will choose to cooperate with acting and let this "play" continue.

He shook his head lightly, sorting out his thoughts.He knows that the inner struggle during this period is just the beginning, and he needs more time to adapt and accept this new reality. Perhaps, the road ahead will become clearer.

Shen Ye and Mu Xiaoxi were sitting in the car, and Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help asking, "Shen Ye, how long will it take for you to arrive at your in-law's house?"

Shen Ye looked sideways out of the window, and replied with a smile: "There is still about 10 minutes' drive."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, feeling a little complicated.She knew that today was the first time she had formally met Shen Ye's family members. Although she had gotten to know Shen Ye's family members on the phone before, face-to-face meeting was always different.She felt a little nervous, but also full of anticipation.

Sensing Mu Xiaoxi's emotions, Shen Ye gently held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, my family is easy to get along with, and they will like you."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, feeling the warmth and encouragement from Shen Ye.She knew that with Shen Ye by her side, she would not feel lonely and helpless.

The car drove slowly on the road, and the conversation between the two gradually fell silent. Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to meet Shen Ye's family today.She hopes to show her best side in front of them and let them feel her sincerity and kindness to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye seemed to be able to feel Mu Xiaoxi's inner thoughts, he patted her hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Relax, I believe they will like you."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded and responded with a smile: "Well, I will try to relax as much as possible."

The eyes of the two met, revealing affection and understanding.Although it is an unfamiliar meeting ahead, they are full of confidence and courage and are willing to face the unknown future together.

As time passed, the car gradually approached the destination, Shen Ye's home.Mu Xiaoxi felt her heart beating faster, she knew that this moment was coming, she would formally welcome Shen Ye's family and spend a wonderful time with them.This is a new beginning, a beginning full of hope and expectation.

When Shen Ye's car approached the door, Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help staring at the front.She saw an elegant and elegant old lady standing at the door, looking into the distance.She was a little nervous because she knew that it was Shen Ye's mother.

Shen Ye stopped the car lightly and motioned for Mu Xiaoxi to get off as well.He turned to look at Mu Xiaoxi, smiled and said, "Here we are, let's walk over together."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, took a breath, and followed Shen Ye to the door.Her heart beat faster, and she couldn't help recalling the topic of her family that she had talked with Shen Ye before. She hoped that she could show her truest side.

Walking to the door, the old lady turned around and saw Shen Ye and Mu Xiaoxi.She greeted him with a smile, her expression amiable.

"Shen Ye, you're back." The old lady said, with joy and joy in her tone.

Shen Ye walked up to the old lady, and responded cordially: "Yes, Mom, I brought Mu Xiaoxi back."

The old lady turned her gaze to Mu Xiaoxi, and said with a smile, "This is Mu Xiaoxi, right?"

Mu Xiaoxi nodded slightly, and replied with a smile: "Yes, Auntie, I'm Mu Xiaoxi."

The old lady smiled more kindly, looked Mu Xiaoxi up and down, then nodded, and said with satisfaction: "I'm glad to finally meet you, Mu Xiaoxi, I heard Shen Ye say a lot about you."

Shen Ye stood aside, watching his mother communicate with Mu Xiaoxi, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.He knows that this meeting is very important, and the first impression of his mother is very crucial for getting along with him in the future.
