“I do have some half-siblings that share the same father. My father has quite a few women, therefore
he had more
children.”
Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney had not expected such an answer, so
the atmosphere became rather awkward. They did not know
how to continue the conversation.
Lina Sweeney immediately said without further thoughts, “Mom, Dad, these are the affairs of the
previous generation. His parents are his parents, he is himself!”
Hadwin Stephenson was rather surprised by Lina Sweeney as he looked at her with a hint of warmth
that even he did not
realize.
Mr. Sweeney reacted first and conceded. “Indeed. Those were the affairs of past generations. So…
Tingxin, what are you working as?”
“I mainly manage a company,” Hadwin Stephenson replied.
“Manage… a company?” Mr. Sweeney looked at him in disbelief. He thought perhaps he had misheard
him. “What
company do you manage? You’re only 29 years old.”
For Mr. Sweeney, it was good enough if a 29-year-old young man could get a regular managerial
position.
As for managing a company, he still found it rather implausible.
“I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Stephenson Group.”
Mr. Sweeney was a man from a small suburb. He was not familiar with any famous shipping
companies. However, he could tell the brand of cars from the logo within his suburb.
Mr. Sweeney smiled awkwardly. “Um… I haven’t heard of it before. Is it a new company?” After all,
young people nowadays liked being entrepreneurs. It was not uncommon for them to build a new
company.
Lina Sweeney felt more awkward than her dad.
Hadwin Stephenson said nothing but merely smiled.
After chatting a while more, Lina Sweeney wanted to find an
excuse to send Hadwin Stephenson off, but her parents asked
him to stay for a meal.
“Didn’t you say that you have some things to settle in the
office?” Lina Sweeney kept signaling him with her eyes.
“This meal won’t take much of my time.”
Lina Sweeney was rendered speechless.
‘Is he saying that he wants to stay for a meal?’
After the meal ended, Lina Sweeney noticed that her parents wanted to chat further with Hadwin
Stephenson to get to know him further. Thus, she quickly said, “Let me take him out
for a stroll to digest our food.” She did not waste any second in
pulling Hadwin Stephenson out.
Lina Sweeney finally heaved in relief once they reached the
elevator. The meet-the-parents-day finally ended.
Lina Sweeney could not help from exclaiming, “If I didn’t bring
you out just now, my parents would probably ask about your ancestral tree as well. Earlier when my
parents asked you those questions, you didn’t need to answer with much detail. You could have just
brushed them off with a simple answer.”
He suddenly said, “I think you wish that your parents aren’t pleased with me. If that’s the case, why did
you say something like ‘my parents are my parents, I am me’ kind of thing?”
Lina Sweeney was taken aback for a moment. She had said
that out of the spur of the moment.
“So… you don’t wish that your parents dislike me?” he asked.
His gaze seemed to make her inexplicably flustered. “I just felt that the deeds of the past generation
should not be equated
to you as a person. Don’t overanalyze the meaning of what I
said.”
She turned her head away to avoid his gaze.
