But for Shen Liu, these two questions weren't questions at all. He had plenty of confidence, and he had a ready-made good example to follow. Though his father had neglected him when he was little, his grandfather's teaching and care made up for it.
Listening to Shen Liu talk about the life and character of Old Master Shen, Lian Manman even felt in her heart that Shen Liu's being personally raised by his grandfather, instead of being handed over to Old Master Shen to discipline, was Shen Liu's good fortune. From Shen Liu's telling, the Old Master Shen was a man of great drive and responsibility, strict with his sons and grandsons yet deeply loving toward them, and a farsighted elder.
Having become a father, Shen Liu was already very happy; whenever he saw his sons, his heart filled with indescribable joy. Hearing that Lian Manman's words made so much sense, he naturally followed them readily. So the children loved clinging to him as well, no less than they clung to Lian Manman.
