Chapter 37: Shen Jiahao

Li Changsheng smiled. His goal of preventing Wang Zeyuan from persuading Shen Ziyu to drink has been achieved. He glanced at Shen Ziyu and saw that she had no objection. Li Changsheng was happy to follow Shen Jiahao out to his study.

Li Changsheng went into the study and saw the man who asked him to follow him on the reddish-brown leather sofa. Seen from his face, Shen Jiahao is in his thirties, wearing a black wool suit, black casual trousers, the European version of brown leather shoes with shoelaces, and a handsome face. Walking on the street, he is also the type that can cause little girls and young women to scream.

Shen Jiahao is sitting there making kungfu tea, looking attentive. He didn't even raise his head when he heard Li Changsheng coming.

Li Changsheng walked over and said with a big smile, "brother-in-law, you want me?"

"Well, sit down." Shen Jiahao still didn't look up. Until he finished all the procedures of making tea. After pouring a cup of tea for himself and Li Changsheng, he looked up at Li Changsheng and asked, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Shangluo, Shaanxi Province!" Li Changsheng answered with ease. It seems that this idiot can't ask any complicated questions.

"I know about you and Ziyu," Shen Jiahao said straightforwardly.

"What's the matter?" Li Changsheng asked curiously. He really doesn't know what he said.

Shen Jiahao frowned imperceptibly. He felt that Li Changsheng was asking while knowing the answer. He was disgusted. Shen Jiahao sipped Tieguanyin tea in the cup and said casually, "I'm talking about the marriage between you and Ziyu. We have never seen Ziyu bring a strange man home."

"What's your opinion?" Li Changsheng asked deliberately. He wanted to find out what Shen Ziyu's cousin really thought.

"I don't like you," Shen Jiahao said bluntly. "Ziyu's pursuers can be ranked from Beijing to Wuhan. Compared with these pursuers, your family background, appearance and talent are not what I like."

Shen Jiahao thought that no one in our family would like you just because you stopped Shen Ziyu from drinking at the banquet and your arrogant attitude towards me.

"So what should I do?" Li Changsheng asked with a smile.

Shen Jiahao was bored again. He thought Li Changsheng's smiling face was really annoying. He is really from the bottom of society. People in the upper class speak very elegantly and implicitly. Why doesn't this guy understand what I mean?

"So," Shen Jia paused, and then said implicitly, "you should know what you want to do."

"Ok!I see! I will try my best to please you and flatter you so that you like me." Li Changsheng replied seriously.

"You!" Shen Jiahao was furious. With a snap, he put down the black porcelain teacup in his hand and said, "You should give up pursuing my sister!"

"Is that your opinion?" Li Changsheng asked with a smile.

"Yes," Shen Jiahao said solemnly.

"Are you Ziyu's cousin?"

"Yes."

"Do you think Ziyu will follow your arrangement?"

"You!" Shen Jiahao said with shake on his face, "This is also the opinion of our family elders!"

"The opinion of the family elders?" Li Changsheng sneered. "Do you think that with Ziyu's character, she will let others control her life?"

Shen Jiahao was repeatedly asked by Li Changsheng, and every question stuck in his heart like a thorn, making him uncomfortable, like a slap, making his face feel hot pain. He finally lost his temper. Shen Jiahao slapped on the tea table and said, "In China's tradition, marriage must be approved by parents, and there must be a matchmaker to propose marriage. Our family's opinion is not to agree with your marriage!"

"Whose decision is the opinion of our family? Who allowed you to speak on behalf of the family? How can you speak on behalf of the family? I remember that the year before last, the third uncle and grandpa wanted to drive you out of the family. I pleaded with grandpa for you so that you can live comfortably in Wuhan. In this family, who agreed to let you decide the family's affairs?"

Shen Jiahao turned his head and saw Shen Ziyu standing at the door of his study. She shouted coldly at him: "Shen Jiahao, I tell you. As long as Li Changsheng dare to propose to me, I will marry him today!"
