Meng Yan?
President Meng?
Who is the head of the JC multinational conglomerate?
No, he must have misheard.
Qin Wan's surname is Qin, not Meng. How could she possibly be President Meng's daughter?
Clinging to the last shred of hope, Mr. Sheng turned to look at the doorway, where Meng Yan was striding menacingly towards him!
It really is President Meng?
"President Meng? You really came?"
"President Meng, please take a seat."
Mr. Sheng greeted him warmly, but Meng Yan slapped him on the head.
"roll!"
"You bastard, you actually tried to hit my daughter! I think you're asking for a beating!"
"Daughter?"
Mr. Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of foreboding washed over him.
He looked in terror in the direction Meng Yan had gone...
In that direction, in that corner, only Sheng Si, Sheng Yue, and Qin Wan stood.
Sheng Yue could not possibly be Meng Yan's daughter.
Then there's only one option...
Qin Wan!!!
Seeing Meng Yan smile brightly at Qin Wan, the last glimmer of hope in Sheng's father's heart vanished.
!!
Is Qin Wan really President Meng's daughter?
Then why doesn't she have the surname Meng?
Mr. Sheng knew that this was not the point, but at that moment, panic overwhelmed him, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how to react.
"Honey, are you alright?"
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Let Daddy see..."
With a tense expression, Meng Yan pulled Qin Wan around, turning her left and right, up and down, front and back, constantly checking her over.
"It's alright, it's alright."
"Luckily, no one was hurt."
Meng Yan patted his broad chest with a look of lingering fear.
"Dad..." Qin Wan looked at the man in front of her with mixed feelings.
Meng Yan chuckled at her, "You know your mom's personality. She'll be here soon. If she finds out I didn't take good care of you and let you get bullied outside, she'll definitely not let me go back to my room to sleep for a month."
Qin Wan: "..."
"Hello Uncle Meng, I am Sheng Si."
Grandiose?
Upon hearing this familiar name, Meng Yan frowned and looked Sheng Si up and down with displeasure.
"You've lost some weight..."
"Not strong enough, not sturdy enough..."
"She's not good-looking either... She's too much of a flirt, the kind of person who's not content to stay at home."
As he spoke, Meng Yan looked at Qin Wan and complained with a dissatisfied expression, "How could your mother choose such a pretty boy for you?"
"Can he protect you and take good care of you?"
"You won't have to take care of him, will you?"
As he spoke, Meng Yan's suspicious gaze fell on Sheng Si.
Sheng Si: "..."
"Uncle Meng, I have the ability to protect Wanwan, and I will definitely protect her well," Sheng Si said earnestly, as if making a promise and a guarantee.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yan still looked doubtful.
No, he didn't just suspect, he took direct action...
"Huh?"
Meng Yan wanted to discourage Sheng Si and also wanted to vent his frustration, so he punched Sheng Si's shoulder hard.
Unexpectedly... Sheng Si's tall figure stood still, without moving an inch.
Meng Yan: "?"
Did he really underestimate this kid?
Thinking of this, Meng Yan's eyes lit up. Ignoring the large group of onlookers around him, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to have a go at Sheng Si.
Unfortunately, as Meng Yan rolled up his sleeve halfway, a sharp pain shot through his ear.
"hiss!!!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"Wife, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Meng Yan quickly lowered his sleeves, covered his ears, and looked at Qin Shu, who had appeared beside him at some point, with a pleading expression.
"idiot!"
Do you think everyone is like you, all they grow is their height, and none of them have brains?
"Not only is Ah Si's intelligence and emotional intelligence far superior to yours, but his skills are also no worse than yours."
"If he can't protect Qin Wan, then you certainly can't!"
As she spoke, Qin Shu narrowed her eyes dangerously, her gaze towards Qin's father, Meng Yan, becoming increasingly sinister.
"I'd like to ask you this: you're all alone and can't be in two places at once. Between me and Qin Wan, who do you really want to protect?"
Qin Wan: "..."
"..." Meng Yan choked, then raised his five fingers to the sky and swore, "Wife, I swear to you, you will always be the only one in my heart and eyes, and you are the only one I want to protect."
"Hehe, is that so? What about Qin Wan?" Qin Shu asked ominously.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yan quickly distanced himself, saying, "I'm good to Qin Wan entirely because she's your biological daughter, the child you carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty."
"Yes, that's right, my kindness towards Qin Wan is entirely due to my affection for her!!!"
Seeing that Meng Yan was so sensible, Qin Shu finally released her grip on his ear with satisfaction.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Then, Qin Shu looked at Qin Wan, sized her up, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
"You did a good job today; you finally acted like a girl."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Qin Shu had already called ahead to threaten her; how could she dare not to change?
Yes, the phone call that successfully persuaded Qin Wan to change her mind and change clothes in the study on the third floor was made by Qin Shu.
Thinking of certain scenes from the original owner's memories, Qin Wan pinched her brow in exasperation.
She wasn't afraid of Qin Shu; it was purely because her blind date was Sheng Si that she used Qin Shu's phone call as an excuse to change into this beautiful evening gown.
"Ah Si has such good taste." Qin's mother suddenly looked at Sheng Si with a loving expression, her eyes filled with undisguised affection for him.
Seeing this, Qin's father, Meng Yan, was unhappy.
"Besides being good-looking, this kid isn't anything special in other aspects. He's not even as good as Gu Lang," Qin's father said with dissatisfaction.
Gu Lang!
Upon hearing this name, Sheng Si's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Wan beside him.
"I remember, Gu Lang was Wan'er's deskmate, wasn't he?"
Qin Wan looked at her with suspicion: "...How did you know?"
Instead of answering, Sheng Si asked, "Does Wan'er like him?"
"...That's not the point." Qin Wan's lips twitched.
"Is Wan'er avoiding the question because she cares about Gu Lang?" Sheng Si pressed persistently.
Qin Wan: "..."
Just as Qin Wan was pinching her brow, pondering how to explain, her father, who never missed an opportunity to stir up trouble, spoke up again.
“Wan’er and Gu Lang have known each other for over ten years. These two kids have been childhood sweethearts since they were little. If Wan’er doesn’t care about Gu Lang, why would she care about you?”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Si's thin lips curved slightly, and he chuckled softly.
"So...that's how it is..."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly overwhelmed her.
"Gu Lang and I are just ordinary friends," Qin Wan explained, feigning composure.
"Just friends?" Sheng Si stared straight into her eyes and repeated softly, "Just childhood sweethearts?"
"Still just... a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"Or perhaps..."
Throughout their conversation, Sheng Si kept his gaze fixed on the subtle changes in Qin Wan's expression.
Noticing Qin Wan's furrowed brows, Sheng Si's serious expression vanished instantly. He chuckled softly, looking at her with a gentle, doting gaze...
"I believe Wan'er. I was just joking with you."
Qin Wan: "..." Do you even believe that yourself?
