"Dad, let's talk this through, let's talk this through." Madam Shen stopped him and took the cane from him.
Madam Shen's persuasion made the old man turn his face to her: "Shuting, I'm not blaming you, but how do you usually keep an eye on them at home? How did you allow this boy to do such things right under your nose? Out of all the people he could like, why Xingchen? How could he be with Xingchen?"
Just thinking about it gave the old man a terrible headache.
Seeing this, Madam Shen quickly admitted her fault: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, I didn't keep a good watch on the two kids. Dad, don't be angry."
With both hands resting on his cane, the old man looked at Shen Li again and, much weaker, said: "Don't even think about it, no one will agree to you and Xingchen being together."
After the old man finished speaking, Madam Shen helped him and said again: "Did you hear that? Think it over carefully. Don't make everyone worry; don't upset your grandparents."
