Chapter 209: Chapter 209: The Ugly Daughter-in-law Has to Meet the In-laws Eventually

Shen Weiyi and Sheng Ting turned around at the same time and saw the girl who had eaten in the cafeteria with Sheng Ting last time.

The latter caught sight of Shen Weiyi and a look of surprise crossed her face, but she quickly composed herself and said to Sheng Ting with a smile, "This must be the young lady we saw last time, right?" Then she greeted Shen Weiyi, "Hello, I’m Zhuang Huiyu."

"Hello, senior!" Shen Weiyi nodded at her.

Zhuang Huiyu’s lips curved into a smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Shen Weiyi, "It seems you’ve already heard of me, could it have been Sheng who told you about me?"

Shen Weiyi replied with a polite smile, "There are many posts about you on the forum; you are the goddess in the hearts of many at Z University."

"Is that so?" Zhuang Huiyu’s smile deepened even more. "Junior, you have such a sweet tongue, no wonder you were able to melt the heart of that perennial iceberg, Sheng."

There was a hint of sourness in Zhuang Huiyu’s words, which Shen Weiyi pretended not to notice.

Zhuang Huiyu liked Sheng Ting; Shen Weiyi had noticed it the day they were in the cafeteria. However, since they were not together, it meant that Zhuang Huiyu’s feelings were unrequited.

The smile on Zhuang Huiyu’s face faltered for a moment when she saw Shen Weiyi’s calm demeanor, then she looked at Sheng Ting and Senior Brother Mu in the lab and said, "I’ve come under my father’s orders to find you guys. He’s worried you’ll spend the weekend here too, so he specifically asked me to tell you that young people should act like young people. Experiments are never-ending; don’t just stay in the lab all day. He also asked me to invite you both to have lunch at our house."

"Is it Mother who will be cooking personally?" Senior Brother Mu’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Zhuang Huiyu smiled and replied, "Yes, she even made your favorite dishes."

"Then we are really fortunate. I’ve been missing Mother’s cooking for a long time," Senior Brother Mu said with a chuckle.

"What are we waiting for then?" Zhuang Huiyu said. Then she turned to Shen Weiyi, "Junior, why don’t you join us? It’s also a good opportunity for our parents to see what the girl Sheng likes looks like."

"Maybe I shouldn’t go?" Shen Weiyi hesitated. She had just established a relationship with Sheng Ting; meeting the parents seemed too quick.

But then she heard Sheng Ting say, "Let’s go together; it’s a good chance for the teacher and Mother to meet you."

Shen Weiyi tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Is it appropriate for me to join a meal with the professor? It seems a bit impolite to show up unannounced."

She didn’t want to leave a bad impression in front of his teacher.

"It’s not inappropriate," Sheng Ting reassured her, "Don’t worry. The teacher and Mother are both very approachable, and they will like you."

"That’s not what I mean," she said. It just felt too sudden, with no psychological preparation to meet the people he knew, especially his mentor and Mother.

It was like making their relationship public.

Lowering his gaze, Sheng Ting said, "A plain bride will have to meet her in-laws eventually, and you’re not plain at all. Don’t worry about meeting people."

Shen Weiyi: ...

What could she say after he had said all that?

Seeing her silence, Sheng Ting thought she was reluctant and softened his tone, "If you really don’t want to go, it’s okay. We’ll have another chance next time to introduce you."

"It’s not that I don’t want to go," Shen Weiyi shook her head, feeling it was a bit presumptuous.

Sheng Ting: "So, shall we go together?"

In the end, Shen Weiyi nodded.

So be it, she would meet them. He was right; she had to meet them sooner or later anyway.
