Master Shen spoke in a gentle voice, so Shen Wenjiao would not be so foolish as to speak rudely in front of all the guests. In this era, people still pay attention to the heaven, earth, emperor, parents and teachers. If you are too unfilial, it will affect your reputation.

Reputation is something that people who care about it care about it a lot, but people who don't care about it don't care about it at all. Shen Wenjiao is not the kind of person who would throw everything at her. Since her father wants to cooperate with the plan to whitewash the situation, she will naturally cooperate.

Shen Wenjiao just needs to keep smiling at this moment, as if the story of her running away from home with her mother was just a dream, and everyone is a decent person who has forgotten the filthiness of it. Shen Wenjiao saw that her mother, Ms. Feng Ya, was even more amazing, and the appearance of Mr. Shen only surprised her for a moment, and she quickly returned to her original gentle appearance.

"Don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of Jiaojiao." Jian Xingzhi patted Shen Wenjiao's hand that was holding his, with a soothing tone.

"Dad, thank you for your hard work." Shen Wenjiao led Master Shen and his group to a reserved table. Fortunately, they had made some preparations, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

As for why Shen Wenjiao's biological father came only at this time to welcome his daughter to get married, Mr. Shen was very understanding and helped Shen Wenjiao think of a very reasonable reason.

The adopted son was in poor health and fell ill before leaving, which delayed them for some time. Of course, this was not just an excuse. In fact, after receiving the news, Mr. Shen and his party insisted on delaying their arrival until Shen Wenjiao got married. There was indeed such a reason.

Kenjiro Hirota did fall ill some time ago, but he was not completely unable to travel. It was just that Muto Mihui seemed to have something to do, so she found an excuse to delay.

After hearing Master Shen's reason, Shen Wenjiao began to focus her attention on the pale-faced young man who had been following Master Shen and the other man without saying anything.

At the same time, Kenjiro Hirota, who was also the topic of discussion, was also looking at Shen Wenjiao, whom he had never seen but had heard a lot about.

A real, energetic girl who was completely different from the girls he usually interacted with. She was not like those well-educated ladies, but since she dared to run away from home at a young age, you could tell that she was not a woman who followed the rules. She was not like his mother, who seemed to have a unique calculation in everything she did, and was hypocritical and cruel, willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve her goals.

There was an aura about Shen Wenjiao that was very attractive to a sickly and gloomy man like him. It was a kind of vibrant energy and a very vigorous vitality.

Hirota Kenjiro had a very good initial impression of Shen Wenjiao, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if only they could move faster. Perhaps his mother's suggestion was not nonsense, it would be nice to have such a girl accompany him through the last journey of his pale and boring life.

A banquet is obviously not a place to talk. At this moment, Shen Wenjiao made some arrangements for her extremely capable father and had no time to deal with him.

Of course, there was no need for Shen Wenjiao to specially entertain Mr. Shen. He had already made himself available and was socializing with a glass of wine in hand.

What a great opportunity! Mr. Shen will not waste it.

No one noticed that when Mutou Mihui saw Fuji Mikako, there was a hint of fear and dread in her eyes. It seemed that Mr. Shen's new wife knew something that others didn't know.

It was not until the banquet was over and the guests were seen off that the Shen family sat down and chatted peacefully.

Mr. Shen looked at the not-so-small Western-style building in front of him with a hint of greed in his eyes, but then he thought of his daughter's current network of contacts, and with a hint of reluctance, he temporarily withdrew his original plan.

Alas, he said that the world is not good nowadays. There was an old saying that goes, parents have no private property. This magnificent little building should have always belonged to the Shen family.

Shen Wenjiao: She has always been surnamed Shen! But it is just the Shen of her Shen Wenjiao. There is no point in being envious.

But if he doesn't give it a try, he wouldn't be the greedy, power-hungry Mr. Shen.

"Jiaojiao! Your house is really big. Do you have any spare rooms? We just came to Shanghai and haven't had time to buy a house yet! Now we live in a rented apartment, which is really inconvenient."

Most importantly, the rent for a good apartment in Shanghai is really high and he is reluctant to do so.

"That's right. We shouldn't have troubled you, young lady. Kenjiro is in poor health, and it's not always convenient to live in a rented apartment." Muto Mihui added fuel to the fire without any hesitation.

Kenjiro Hirota's son, a tool, is a universal excuse and can be moved wherever he is needed.

"Well, father-in-law, you should have vacated a room even if there was no room. Alas, it's all our fault that we were young and inexperienced. We signed a three-year contract with the tenant at the beginning. It's really unfortunate that it's time to do it now."

These words were said by Jian Xingzhi. It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Knowing very well the relationship between Shen Wenjiao and her biological father, Jian Xingzhi, as a new son-in-law, does not mind offending his father-in-law at all.

"How about this? If you really don't have enough money, how about I pay the rent for you?" Jian Xingzhi's words were quite interesting. It seemed that he would rather help Mr. Shen pay the rent than let this family move in!

"By the way, I remember that the director of the Shanghai Education Bureau seemed to be the one who cared most about being respectable and elegant."

In fact, the Ministry of Education in Shanghai is now in a mess, and the director turned a blind eye just to smooth things over. Among them are staunch patriots who hate the pro-Japanese faction who want to interfere in the ideological education of students. There are also fence-sitters who, for some benefits, don't mind being traitors and helping the pro-Japanese villains, covering up the truth in education and trying to distort the facts.

Jian Xingzhi was just relying on the fact that Mr. Shen had just arrived and didn't know the situation well. However, it was difficult to say that the father-in-law and his family were moving into his son-in-law's house.

After all, in the Republic of China era, it was still important for sons to support their parents in their old age, and it was rare for a man to rely on his son-in-law when he already had a son. Of course, as a reward for marrying a daughter, there were many people who helped their father-in-law's family to the best of their ability.

This also depends on the attitude of the married daughter-in-law, and the reality now is that Shen Wenjiao and her biological father, Mr. Shen, only maintain a superficial harmony.

"Yes! Dad, you are going to work in the Education Bureau. It won't be nice to have dinner parties or meet friends in this small house. Why don't you just buy a new house?"

Shen Wenjiao's words sounded a bit out of touch with reality, but they also successfully blocked Mr. Shen from saying anything else.

After all, the Shen family was going to settle down in Shanghai, so they would have to buy this house sooner or later. The original intention of getting it for free was almost impossible after Shen Wenjiao got married.
