"Don't say that. Your mom and dad still care about you quite a bit," Sheng Ning'an said, though she felt a bit guilty as she said it. Every time she visits Mr. Xu and Mother Xu, they focus solely on her—one goes all out to cook delicious meals for her, while the other takes her shopping or for a facial. They rarely mention Xu Weiran.
Even when they do, it's mostly to vent about him.
If not criticizing him for being all about work—not the ideal partner—then it's complaining that he's neglecting his girlfriend for too long, questioning if this boyfriend is even worth having.
Sometimes, they get so carried away that they advise Sheng Ning'an to simply leave him, insisting on introducing her to a new boyfriend.
Completely forgetting that he's their own son.
From his twenty-plus years of experience with his parents, Xu Weiran knew this even without the girl mentioning it.
His parents loved him, but not much!
