Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

He quickly winked at the dog beside him, "Go, why don't you pour a glass of water for the guest?"

How could this kid Gouguzai be so tactless? Not only did he bring someone back for such a trivial matter, but he also didn't even pour a glass of water for the girl after entering the house.

Their family was poor and couldn't afford tea, but they were not so poor that they couldn't even afford a glass of water.

"Dad, I'm back this time--"

Before he could finish, Wei Jie'en glared at him, "I asked you to pour a glass of water, but you're so fussy. You even want me, your father, to pour it for you personally?"

Since the younger generation was at home, Wei Jie'en didn't want to do it himself. However, after the kid had been away for a few years, he became increasingly useless.

Shen Jinzhen saw that Wei Ruolai's father had misunderstood the purpose of his visit, so he quickly told the truth with a smile, "Uncle, I came here for another matter."

Wei Jie'en was puzzled. What else? Could it be that he had to give him a gift to thank him?

Before he could guess, Wei Ruolai spoke again, "Dad, I brought the girl I like to see you."

So that's how it is. Wei Jie'en said "Oh" twice. It must be such a small matter to make another trip.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard what Gouguzai had just said. The girl you like?

So this guy broke off the engagement for her?

Wei Jie'en looked at Shen Jinzhen. This girl was pretty, but she didn't dress like the girls in Shanghai. He had heard that all the girls wore cheongsams.

Could it be that Gouguzai was fooling around outside? Dating one here and one there, and Chunmiao saw it, so he broke off the engagement in anger? He looked at Shen Jinzhen standing aside obediently, and felt that his guess was almost right.

He immediately rushed over and pulled Gouguzai's ears, angrily scolding him: "Tell me, are you fooling around outside?"

"Dad, what are you thinking? I didn't do that." Wei Ruolai struggled to break free from Wei Jie'en's control, took Shen Jinzhen's hand and said, "From the beginning, I only liked Jinzhen. I broke off the engagement because I didn't want to delay Chunmiao."

Dad, must have listened to too many operas outside? Why does he think so much?

Shen Jinzhen also stepped forward to confirm Wei Ruolai's idea, "When he was at the central bank before, he was always with his brother. He was busy with work and had no time to go out, so I was the person he met the most."

Wei Jie'en finally understood and smiled awkwardly.

This kid Gouguzai didn't even write him a letter in advance to give him time to prepare.

There is nothing good to entertain the girl in this situation. I hope she won’t mind the mess at home.

"Girl, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. Please sit down. I'll ask Ruolai to get you a glass of water and cook some dishes for you. You can eat in the evening before leaving."

Wei Jie'en had originally planned to have a simple meal in the evening, but since the girl was here, he decided to cook for her himself. After all, if she came here, her cooking skills would be terrible.

"It's okay. It'll be delicious if you cook for me."

Shen Jinzhen smiled and looked at Wei Ruolai with anticipation in his eyes.

Receiving Jin Zhen's encouraging gaze, Wei Ruolai also spoke directly, "Dad, don't bother me, I can do it. It's a good opportunity to practice my cooking skills so that I can cook for Jin Zhen in the future."

Wei Jie'en saw the two of them flirting with each other and didn't know how to stop them.

What could he say? The girl didn't mind, so he couldn't just not give his son a way out.

"Okay, go get ready. I'll chat with the girl for a while."
