    “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 apany,” Hadwin Stephenson replied.


    “Manage… apany?” Mr. Sweeney looked at him in disbelief. He thought perhaps he had misheard


    him. “What


    For Mr. Sweeney, it was good enough if a 29-year-old young man could get a regr managerial


    position.


    As for managing apany, he still found it rather imusible.


    “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


    Mr. Sweeney smiled awkwardly. “Um… I haven’t heard of it before. Is it a newpany?” After all,


    young people nowadays liked being entrepreneurs. It was not umon for them to build a new


    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 eximing, “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.
