Chapter 29 Shen Wanwan's Parents

Shen Wanwan, who had been following the show's account, knew why Xu An was so popular, but she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

She couldn't very well tell the story of Xu An charging into battle on a pig, so after hesitating for a moment, Shen Wanwan decided to tell a little lie.

"These are probably people who watched the live stream before. Brother An's show was quite entertaining."

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother nodded without speaking. However, Shen's father, hearing Shen Wanwan's address to Xu An, immediately sensed something was amiss and asked sensitively:

"Xiao Wan, are you very familiar with this kid named Xu An?"

Hearing this, Shen Wanwan was taken aback. Looking at her father's probing gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she stammered, "..."

"It's...it's alright. Brother An took good care of me when we were filming the show."

Seeing his daughter's lack of confidence, Mr. Shen's heart skipped a beat.

She knew her own daughter well. Although she was quite socially awkward and introverted in front of others, she was quite open and at ease in front of her family. If they were just ordinary friends or colleagues, she would definitely not behave like this.

So, could it be that this kid named Xu An actually managed to trick his precious daughter into marrying him?

"Xiao Wan, you usually just release songs and rarely interact with people in the entertainment industry. You need to be careful when you socialize, especially with young men, you know?"

Hearing her father practically name names and wearing a sour expression, Shen Wanwan hadn't said anything when her mother, standing to the side, said irritably:

"What are you saying! I think Xiao Xu is a good guy. I heard from Xiao Wan the other day that he was the one who asked her to call me!"

"Otherwise, Xiao Wan would probably still be sulking with me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan nodded her head in agreement.

"Yes, Dad, An-ge is really a good person. Don't be prejudiced against him!"

Seeing that his wife and beloved daughter had formed a united front, Old Shen had no choice but to surrender for the time being.

"Alright, alright, let's watch the show first, okay? I want to see what kind of person this Xu An really is!"

Mr. Shen watched the program with prejudice and decided to find fault with it.

Let's start with the first guest besides this kid!

How come it's my own daughter?

Looking at his daughter's pretty face on the show, Mr. Shen felt a lump in his throat.

What's even more infuriating is that his own daughter has arrived, and Xu An is still sleeping?

Can't you see his precious daughter carrying a suitcase? Go help her carry it!

When Shen's father saw Shen Wanwan pulling her suitcase alone, his eyes were filled with heartache.

You know, at home, he wouldn't even let Shen Wanwan serve him the dishes.

This brat Xu An completely ignored his huge suitcase.

When Shen Wanwan saw Xu An say that he was an actor, her father was taken aback and asked her uncertainly.

"Xiao Wan, isn't Xu An an ordinary person? How did he become an actor? Is this just a publicity stunt?"

Shen's mother, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but her brows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating that she was not interested in the hype.

Then they showed the same expression as Shen Wanwan on the screen.

Zoo actor?

……

"Xiao Xu is quite an interesting person to talk to."

A smile returned to Shen's mother's face.

Shen's father still disliked Xu An.

"This kid is definitely doing this on purpose to create a dramatic effect on the show."

He said with a face full of indignation.

Upon seeing Jiang Zhaoyue and Bai Ge arrive, Shen's father became somewhat displeased.

"Why are all the guests female?"

He's waiting for a male guest to come so he can praise him lavishly and then belittle Xu An!

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long; Zhang Lin and Chen Zize arrived soon after.

Old Shen immediately got excited and pointed at Chen Zize.

"Xiao Wan, I think this young man is quite nice. He may look a bit effeminate, but he's not short!"

Then he saw Chen Zize's eyes light up when he saw Shen Wanwan, and he immediately started chatting her up.

"Snapped!"

Mr. Shen slammed his hand on the table beside him.

What's this kid up to?

So this is the ungrateful wretch who was eyeing my little cabbage!

Although Shen's father wasn't in the entertainment industry, he ran a company and, being in a high position, naturally had a knack for judging people.

He could tell what Chen Zize was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth.

This is an attempt to create a romantic pairing with her daughter and gain online traffic.

Compared to Chen Zize, who had a clear purpose, Shen's father suddenly found Xu An, who was being chased around by Jiang Zhaoyue, more pleasing to the eye.

This pleasing feeling intensified after he saw Chen Zize being persuaded by Xu An to take on the task of chopping wood.

"Ahem, I suddenly realize that this young Xu is actually quite good."

Old Shen coughed lightly and said in a serious tone.

"Do you think he's the only reliable person in the house? Look at the comments, they're already praising him as the only one who's trustworthy."

"You're right, with so many people, only Xu can cook!"

"Xiao Wan, you're the same. I asked you to cook before, but you never put your heart into it. Now you're finally getting the job."

Shen Wanwan remained silent upon hearing her mother's words.

Although it wasn't a good thing, she was indeed looking forward to seeing her mother's expression later.

Soon, she saw what she wanted to see.

"takeout!!?"

Mr. and Mrs. Shen looked extremely bewildered as the deliveryman arrived.

However, Mr. Shen soon smiled.

"Alright, alright, ordering takeout is fine. If you guys eat takeout, then Chen Zize's wood-chopping will have been for nothing!"

Conversely, Shen's mother, standing to the side, said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation:

"Eating takeout is bad for your health, but this Xiao Xu is quite interesting."

Later, when it was time for the performances, Mr. and Mrs. Shen expressed their appreciation for everyone else's performances. Even for Chen Zize's robotic dance, although they didn't quite appreciate it, they still gave it a passable review.

"It's flashy and fancy, but it's kind of interesting."

When Xu An went on stage to sing, both of them unconsciously sat up straight.

Clearly, although they didn't say anything, the two of them were indeed captivated by the show.

Then, they heard it with great anticipation...

The house is on fire and I'm sleeping.

The two of them almost lost their seats.

Father Shen:...

Shen's mother: ...

The two exchanged a complicated look, and finally, it was Shen's mother who awkwardly said something.

"This Xu guy is quite humorous, but the song does feel a bit unserious."

"I think the lyrics are quite interesting and should be more in line with the tastes of today's young people."

Mr. Shen stroked his chin. As someone who frequently surfs the internet, he was quite knowledgeable about some subcultures.

I know that it's quite popular among young people these days to "go easy" or "reorganize" their workplaces.

So I actually think this song might become a minor hit.

Shen Wanwan nodded, took out her phone, pointed to the comments on the video platform, and said:

"The online reviews of An Ge's song are quite positive."

"It has a kind of dark humor feel to it."

"I don't understand these things about you young people, but is the show over already?"

As Shen's mother watched the screen slowly go black after Chen Hong announced the rankings and told everyone to rest as soon as possible, she said with some lingering interest.

"Yes, that's it."

As Shen Wanwan said this, she was taken aback when she saw the screen suddenly light up again.
