Junyang International Hotel, downtown M.

This was Lian Xin's first time visiting such an international hotel, so she kept a tense expression the whole way, trying her best to restrain herself and not look around like a country bumpkin, so as not to embarrass herself.

Lian Xin, wearing the strapless dress that Lian Jingshan had carefully prepared for her, walked in gracefully, arm in arm with Lian Jingshan.

Today, not only was Lian Xin dressed like a rich young lady, but Lian Jingshan was also wearing an expensive suit.

As soon as the two entered the hotel, a uniformed waiter came over.

"Hello sir, how many are in your party?"

Lian Jingshan's lips curved slightly, and his voice was gentle as he tried to appear refined and elegant, like a nobleman.

“My name is Lian Jingshan. I made a reservation here yesterday.”

The waiter smiled apologetically at them and said, "Just a moment."

Then, he quietly asked a few questions over the walkie-talkie, and then gestured for them to enter a luxurious private room.

"This way, sir."

Lian Jingshan nodded and walked over with Lian Xin.

Lian Xin was already beautiful. Although she was only eighteen years old, her figure was well-developed, with curves in all the right places. Wearing a strapless dress, she exuded an even more refined aura. As a result, quite a few people stole glances at her along the way.

Feeling the amazed looks from those around her, Lian Xin subconsciously raised her chin, and the sense of superiority and pride she once had returned.

Sitting in the soft chair, Lian Xin clasped her hands together, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Lian Jingshan, asking, "Dad, what kind of person is Godfather?"

Upon hearing this, Lian Jingshan's eyes flickered, and he unconsciously stirred his coffee cup with a spoon in his hand.

"Your godfather is a very successful businessman. He's incredibly capable, brave, resourceful, and morally upright."

After speaking, he picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, narrowed his eyes slightly as if savoring the moment, and curled his lips into a strange smile.

"Daddy went through a lot of trouble to get him back, Xin'er. Whether Daddy can make a comeback depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Lian Xin frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart. She opened her mouth, just about to ask something, when she saw Lian Jingshan stand up, looking at a middle-aged man walking towards them with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Shang, you've arrived."

After saying that, he nudged Lian Xin and prompted, "Xin'er, call him godfather."

Looking at the somewhat balding middle-aged man in front of her, Lian Xin felt a sense of disgust. However, when she saw the limited-edition watch on his wrist, her eyes flickered, and she gave Mr. Shang a sweet smile and obediently called out to him.

"Godfather."

The man called Mr. Shang glanced at Lian Xin, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Old Lian, you really raised a good daughter."

Upon hearing this, Lian Xin lowered her head shyly, thus missing the lewd glint in Mr. Shang's eyes.

Lian Jingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Standing beside Lian Xin the whole time, he naturally didn't miss the look of disgust in her eyes.

At first, he was worried that Lian Xin would turn against him and leave.

In hindsight, his worries were unfounded.

His daughter is a smart person.

"Mr. Shang, you're too kind. From today onwards, Xin'er is your daughter."

After they finished speaking, Lian Jingshan and Mr. Shang exchanged a glance, and both of them unconsciously curled their lips and a dark light flashed in their eyes.
