Chapter 1159: Chapter 1160: This girl is the person Shengxiao likes

Lin Teng understood Li Shengxiao’s character as well as his own father’s; both were equally stubborn.

He and Lin Wei had been at an impasse for over a minute before he finally gave in and stood up. “I’m leaving.”

Before he left, he cast an apologetic glance at Rong Yan, then turned his head to address the inflexible elder, “Dad, I know you’ve always admired Shengxiao greatly and taken pride in your grandson. But to take pride in him only in your heart is of no use. I’ve just recently learned a lesson that the reason why family is family is because of mutual respect, mutual assistance, and mutual care.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Lin Teng took a deep breath and looked into his eyes, “This young lady is the girl Shengxiao likes, and as his uncle, I’ve never seen him take an interest in anything. When he was a child, he was sent to the military compound to learn how to shoot. He was the best among them, not because he liked it, but because the Lin Family needed it. Later, he left the Lin Family to engage in business and made Li Group thrive. Again, not because he enjoyed it, but to protect Zhiya. Now, he’s finally fallen for a girl, and as his uncle, I hope he can get what he wishes for. Zhiya and I, we care about Shengxiao more than the outside world’s opinions. Our only wish is to see him happy.”

Lin Teng had been gone for ten minutes, during which Lin Wei had been sipping tea in silence for ten minutes without uttering a word.

Rong Yan sat across from him, calm and unruffled, slowly savoring her tea along with him, taking it as a break of her own for ten minutes.

As time ticked by, the old man finally put down his teacup and looked at her.

This time, his gaze was markedly different, shining with a complex scrutiny, before he finally spoke, “Miss Rong.”

Out of respect, Rong Yan put down her teacup when he started to talk to her and sat up straight, “Old General Lin, please speak your mind.”

Lin Wei looked into her bright eyes for a moment before saying, “I don’t understand what Shengxiao sees in you.”

Rong Yan was taken aback, and after a pause filled with contemplation and a helpless expression, she said, “Actually, can I say that I don’t know either?”

Lin Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She continued, “When I first met him, and he asked me to be with him, I thought he was out of his mind. Because I couldn’t find anything about myself that would attract him. In terms of looks…”

Rong Yan smiled a little, her demeanor candid, “I look okay. But there are many good-looking girls in Capital City. I don’t think my appearance makes me stand out particularly.”

Lin Wei observed her smiling eyes, large and bright; with just those eyes, he disagreed with her modest statement that she wasn’t particularly outstanding.

The girl before him was indeed stunningly beautiful, with kind eyes and a composure that seemed deep-rooted, unlike the restlessness common among many young girls nowadays.

“Miss Rong, what do you want to say?” Lin Wei’s mood had suddenly become much calmer, looking at her, “Are you saying that you’re not very excellent, but my unworthy grandson happens to like you and you can’t help it? Is that what you mean?”

His words were pointed, and Rong Yan found it difficult to respond. Sensing Lin Wei’s dissatisfaction with her, she decided to be forthright, her gaze clear as she faced the challenging elder, “What I mean is, although I know I have many shortcomings, I will strive to improve and become someone worthy of him.”

Lin Wei looked at her intently, seeing the earnestness in Rong Yan’s eyes. After a long time, he said, “You think you can keep up with Shengxiao’s pace by working hard?”
