Footsteps sounded from upstairs, and soon a graceful figure appeared before Wu Tian.
Wu Tian was stunned.
It was the girl from the bus!
Shen Guofu, of course, knew nothing about what had happened between Wu Tian and the girl.
He introduced enthusiastically, "Wu Tian, this is my daughter, Shen Linjiao. You two should get acquainted."
Upon seeing Wu Tian, Shen Linjiao's pretty face immediately turned fierce.
She pointed at Wu Tian and shouted, "It's you, you scoundrel! What are you doing at my house?"
Shen Guofu was bewildered and then frowned, saying, "Daughter, what are you talking about? Wu Tian is my guest. How can you treat him like this?"
Shen Linjiao said aggrievedly, "Dad, you've got it wrong. How could such a scoundrel be your guest?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? This guy was the one who bullied me on the bus!"
"It's him?" Shen Guofu was even more confused, then looked at Wu Tian and asked, "Wu Tian, what's going on?"
Wu Tian said calmly, "Mr. Shen, your daughter spoke disrespectfully to a migrant worker on the bus, so I said a few words to her. I don't think that's a problem, is it?"
Shen Linjiao angrily said, "You caused me to lose so much face, and now you dare to come to my house. Don't think you can leave. I'm not done with you today!"
She looked so adept at being angry that it seemed she often threw tantrums.
Shen Guofu pondered for a moment and then said, "Daughter, it's definitely your fault this time."
"I've always told you to change your temper, but you never listen. Now you know you were wrong, right?"
"Dad!" Shen Linjiao was incredibly wronged. "I'm your daughter! Why are you siding with outsiders?"
Shen Guofu said, "You've always been willful. It's not a bad thing to let Wu Tian educate you properly this time."
"Let's drop this matter for now. Don't bring it up again."
Shen Linjiao trembled with anger, but since Shen Guofu had said so, she couldn't say anything more. She could only sit beside Shen Guofu, breathing heavily.
Shen Guofu smiled at Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, I didn't expect you to have such a connection with our family. It seems we were destined to meet."
"How old are you, and what do you do for a living?"
Wu Tian took a sip of tea and replied, "Mr. Shen, I'm twenty-five years old. I'm currently working as a village doctor in my village, and I also grow some cabbage to sell."
Shen Linjiao curled her lips disdainfully, "Tsk, after all that talk, you're just a country bumpkin. No wonder you speak up for migrant workers."
"Daughter, speak politely!" Shen Guofu glared at Shen Linjiao, then smiled, "Being a village doctor is also good. It's a noble profession, saving lives and helping the injured!"
"And you also grow cabbage. That's not an easy job, and most young people don't do it anymore. It's clear that you're a very outstanding young man!"
Shen Linjiao rolled her eyes to the heavens beside them.
He's just a farmer, why describe him so elegantly?
Wu Tian shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Shen, you flatter me. I'm not as good as you say. I'm just an ordinary person."
Shen Linjiao muttered again, "At least you have some self-awareness."
But Shen Guofu didn't think so. He smiled and said, "You're too modest. You're so capable and kind. I truly admire you."
"You're about the same age as my daughter, and she hasn't had a boyfriend yet. How about you two get to know each other?"
Hearing Shen Guofu's words, both Shen Linjiao and Wu Tian were startled.
Shen Linjiao widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment, saying, "Dad, what are you talking about? Him? Is he good enough for me?"
Shen Guofu said sternly, "Daughter, you're too willful. How is Wu Tian not good enough for you?"
"You're so disobedient, I think you're not good enough for Wu Tian!"
"This!" Shen Linjiao was somewhat speechless and could only glare fiercely at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian thought to himself, why are you glaring at me? I'm just a guest. I didn't expect this to happen!
Although Shen Linjiao was beautiful and had a good figure, and was clearly in her mid-twenties, she still exuded a youthful fragrance.
But Wu Tian knew that all of this was fake. Anyone who found Shen Linjiao as a girlfriend would be taking a real handful!
So he politely replied, "Mr. Shen, let's forget it. Your daughter and I don't get along. I don't really agree with this suggestion."
Shen Linjiao was furious. What did this scoundrel mean? She was the jewel of Shengshi Construction, and suitors were practically trampling down her doorstep.
And this guy dared to refuse?
Get real! I'm the one who gets to reject you, not the other way around!
Shen Guofu became a little anxious upon hearing Wu Tian's reply.
He quickly said, "Wu Tian, you must have just had a misunderstanding before. You can't deny everything because of one misunderstanding."
"You and my daughter don't get along now because you haven't interacted much. But after you chat, perhaps you'll develop feelings?"
This was absolutely impossible!
Wu Tian and Shen Linjiao, in a rare moment of telepathy, thought the same thing.
Just as Wu Tian was about to speak, Shen Guofu received a phone call.
After answering the call, Shen Guofu said apologetically, "Wu Tian, I'm sorry. There's an urgent matter at the company, and I need to talk on the phone."
"I'll leave you two to have your private space. You two talk it over, and maybe you'll develop feelings."
With that, Shen Guofu walked outside to take the call.
Only Wu Tian and Shen Linjiao were left in the living room. Wu Tian couldn't be bothered with this spoiled woman and had no intention of speaking.
But even though Wu Tian didn't approach her, Shen Linjiao spoke coldly, "Hey, what's your intention?"
"Intention?" Wu Tian asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Shen Linjiao leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms, and crossed her long, straight legs, her expression becoming arrogant.
She said disdainfully, "Don't pretend. Don't you think I know what you're thinking?"
"You came here today, surely you want to get close to my dad, right?"
"You want to latch onto my dad's connections, then make a comeback and reach the pinnacle of your life?"
"I'm telling you, that's absolutely impossible. You can fool my dad, but you can never fool me!"
"A scoundrel like you, I advise you to be sensible and get out of our house quickly. Your dirty thoughts will never succeed!"
Shen Linjiao's barrage of words gave Wu Tian a headache.
He couldn't understand why this woman had so many inner monologues. It would be a shame if she didn't write novels.
He looked at Shen Linjiao and said, "Then what do you want?"
