Chapter 55: Chapter 55: No One Could Ever Love Her Better Than He Does

Shen Juanzhi packed a portion of seafood porridge and crawfish for her. By the time Shen Weiyi washed her hands and sat down at the table, she discovered that Shen Juanzhi had already put on gloves and peeled a bowlful of shrimp meat for her.

Once she sat down, he took off the gloves and pushed the bowl filled with shrimp meat towards her, saying, "Eat up!"

"Thanks, Dad!" Shen Weiyi picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of shrimp meat, dipping it into the sauce before putting it in her mouth. The taste was great, from her favorite place.

"You should find a man like me in the future, you know?" Shen Juanzhi seized the opportunity to instill some ideas into his daughter.

Shen Weiyi looked up at him, "Are you sure you want me to find someone like you?"

"..." That was absolutely not okay!

Shen Juanzhi quickly corrected himself, "What I meant was, you should find someone who cherishes you like I do."

While eating the shrimp meat, Shen Weiyi responded, "Then I might never get married in my lifetime."

Although Shen Juanzhi’s personal life was unreliable, it was undeniable that he was a good father. She had never felt inferior about her origins over the years, simply because Shen Juanzhi gave her an abundance of love.

With love, her heart was strong enough.

Finding another person who would be as good to her as he was, seemed nearly impossible to Shen Weiyi.

"It’s okay if you can’t find anyone; I can provide for you for the rest of your life." It’s not like he couldn’t afford it. His daughter, Shen Juanzhi’s daughter, should never have to compromise herself, no matter what.

"But there’s no rush. We can take our time to look and choose, and even if you choose poorly, it’s okay. You can always choose again. Life is long; you’re bound to find the right one eventually."

Does he think this is like picking cabbages??

However, Shen Weiyi didn’t contest his point.

Even though this man was unreliable, when it came to loving her, nobody could do it better than him.

Shen Weiyi ate all the peeled shrimp and drank a bowl of porridge. Feeling a bit full, she finally put down her utensils and brought up another matter, "Director Li talked to me today and said he wants to invite you to the groundbreaking ceremony of the school swimming pool next week. But if you’re busy, it’s okay not to go."

Shen Juanzhi, "I’ll ask Secretary Jiang."

"Okay!"

Shen Weiyi hesitated for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Dad, what... what kind of person was my mom?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about her?"

Over the years, Shen Juanzhi hadn’t deliberately avoided talking about Shen Weiyi’s mother. It was just that Shen Weiyi had been sensible from a young age, and even though she saw others with mothers and she didn’t have one, she never asked.

After so many years, asking suddenly, Shen Juanzhi immediately sensed something was amiss, "Did something happen? Are people bullying you at school?"

"No, just suddenly wanted to know." Shen Weiyi shook her head.

As for the rumors, she could handle them herself; there was no need to let him know.

Shen Juanzhi hmphed, "Her? She’s just a foolish woman."

"Foolish?"

Shen Juanzhi, "Leaving the two of us behind, if that’s not foolish, what is?"

Shen Weiyi felt the full force of his resentful husband vibe.

So it turns out it was her mom who didn’t want her dad.

"What else?" Shen Weiyi persisted.

"What else?"

"Besides being foolish?"

"Well, she was pretty good-looking! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have caught your dad’s eye."

To catch his eye, being pretty good-looking was probably an understatement, right?

Over the years, the women in the scandals surrounding him were either small stars or internet celebrities, each one a great beauty. Just by his standards, one could guess her mom’s looks weren’t lacking either.
