The location was a high-end restaurant booked by Shen Xiuyan, which was reserved for the entire place. Apart from a few waiters, there was no one else there.
Lian Cheng, arm in arm with Shen Xiuyan, walked into the restaurant. Lian Qingyun had already arrived.
Looking at the two of them coming against the light, they seem like a perfect match.
To be honest, he was quite satisfied with Shen Xiuyan's appearance.
He would be happy to be a son-in-law if he was willing to live with his wife's family.
Moreover, from his observations, he discovered that Shen Xiuyan was truly sincere towards his daughter.
Don't ask why, as a man myself, I can tell!
"Daddy~"
"uncle."
"sit."
The three sat down, and Shen Xiuyan personally inquired about the father and daughter's preferences before ordering.
Lian Qingyun observed Shen Xiuyan again. Why did he choose such a high-class place for dinner?
He noticed from Bai Chaolu's birthday party that Shen Xiuyan seemed quite unusual.
He's been in the business world for so many years, he wouldn't make a mistake.
Moreover, Shen Xiuyan was really good to Lian Cheng. Before the main dishes were even served, he had the waiter bring out dessert and told her not to eat too much.
In fact, Shen Xiuyan ordered all the dishes, but those that were not selected were not served, so the food was served very quickly.
Lian Cheng likes to eat pickled fish, and Shen Xiuyan personally removed the fish skin for her.
Lian Cheng likes to eat shrimp, so he peeled the shrimp for her himself.
Lian Qingyun: ...
Weren't you inviting me to dinner? Why are you making me eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?
After his daughter had almost finished eating, Shen Xiuyan remembered to offer him a toast.
"Uncle, let me toast you." Shen Xiuyan held the wine glass with both hands, adopting a humble posture.
Lian Cheng's gaze towards Shen Xiuyan was gentle.
Even when he was her assistant, he never acted like this.
Lian Cheng felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Lian Qingyun: ...
Wasn't she toasting me? Why is she looking at me so affectionately?
After having a drink, we started to get down to business.
"Uncle, I've come today because there's something I want to tell you."
Lian Qingyun's heart tightened when he heard the word "confess".
Damn it, did he get his precious daughter pregnant?!
The forty-meter-long sword from my father has been sharpened until it shines brightly!
If Shen Xiuyan dares to say it, he'll swing his sword at his dog's head!
Lian Qingyun looked like he wanted to devour someone, and Shen Xiuyan didn't know what to say, so he looked at Lian Cheng.
Honey, help!
Lian Cheng smiled and said, "Dad, do you have a long-standing rival in Beijing, the YUN Group?"
"Yes." Could it be that if he can't rely on his own daughter to inherit the business, he can rely on Shen Xiuyan instead?
How would you rate that opponent?
“A very formidable figure,” Lian Qingyun said, clearly unfazed by the change of topic. “What were you about to say?”
"Uncle, let me introduce myself. My real name is Shen Xiuyan."
Lian Qingyun frowned. Shen was a common surname. If there was anything special about them, it was the Shen family, one of the four great families in the capital.
But the Shen family doesn't seem to have such a person.
Although the Shen family is low-key, they don't completely hide their identities; the outside world is still familiar with them.
“I’m the third oldest in the Shen family.” Lian Qingyun dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
Holy crap!
He knew the third young master of the Shen family!
The most mysterious figure, chosen as the heir by Old Master Shen!
It was actually Shen Xiuyan!
Lian Qingyun simply ignored the chopsticks.
If you want to fall from his grasp, who can you blame but yourself?
He picked up his wine glass again, and then he heard Shen Xiuyan say...
"I am the president of YUN Group."
A wine glass fell onto the table, spilling wine all over it.
