"Father!" Bai Mudan picked up the teapot and filled Bai Daqing's cup to the brim, "You must distinguish between those who are close and those who are distant. I am your daughter, Dongfang Jian is your son-in-law, and Gao Fei is merely a subordinate of yours. You must know in your heart who is close and who is distant..." As she spoke, Bai Mudan gave Dongfang Jian a glance.
The moment Dongfang Jian stood up, he declared resolutely, "Father-in-law, I swear to heaven that I will be filial and cherish you! I will love Mudan deeply, and if I fail, let me die a death pierced by a thousand arrows!"
"Nice words are easy to say, but the key is whether you can turn them into actions," Bai Daqing said with an indifferent tone.
"I will use my actions to prove myself to you, Father-in-law!"
"Prove what?"
"Prove that I am a worthy son-in-law, and that Mudan has not misjudged me."
"Good, I will wait for your proof."
