Zhao Yuan was stunned, too. He hadn't expected Lin Liqiang to personally come and greet him.
'This isn't how the script is supposed to go,' he couldn't help but think. 'Aren't fathers supposed to give their daughter's boyfriend a hard time, to put them in their place, when they first meet? Why is Lin Xue's dad being so polite to me? Oh, right, I'm not actually Lin Xue's boyfriend yet...'
Zhao Yuan quickly composed himself and shook Lin Liqiang's outstretched hand. "Hello, Uncle Lin," he said, half-joking, half-serious. "I have to say, I'm a little overwhelmed by this warm welcome."
Lin Liqiang couldn't help but smile. "When Lin Xue had her episode, we were able to relieve her pain entirely thanks to your help. I've been wanting to thank you for a long time, but I never had the chance. Besides, I wanted to see for myself what kind of person you are."
At this, he sized Zhao Yuan up for a moment before nodding. "Confident, but not arrogant. Very good."
