As a former playboy, Xiao Chenggang had basically imagined a lingering, earth-shattering (bloody) love story in his mind when he heard this.
To put it bluntly, it's about a hero saving a beauty and falling in love at first sight.
However, looking at Shen Yingnian's pretty face, Xiao Chenggang felt that this guy really didn't have any characteristics of a hero. Instead, he had some similarities with himself: the characteristics of a scumbag were obvious.
However, it was not easy to say these words in person, so Xiao Chenggang coughed and said, "Xiao Shen, you suddenly gave uncle such a surprise. Uncle was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Uncle needs to calm down. Can you go out and wait for a while? Uncle wants to talk to Xiaolan alone."
"It doesn't matter. Any parent would be surprised and at a loss for words in a short period of time. Uncle, you just accept it slowly. We still have a long time to come." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Young Master Shen secretly winked at Xiao Binglan when he said 'there is still a long time to come'.
Xiao Binglan really wanted to roll her eyes back, but based on her upbringing as a heroine, she could only try hard to move the corners of her mouth and smile.
After Shen Yingnian left, Xiao Chenggang got straight to the point and asked, "Are you sure this guy isn't the actor you hired?"
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate what happened last night." Xiao Binglan said calmly.
In fact, she could have lied to her father and said that she had known Shen Yingnian for a long time, which would have been more acceptable than knowing him for less than a day.
But considering that Xiao Chenggang would definitely investigate the whole story, he could only act according to the existing script and add more scenes.
Regardless of whether Xiao Chenggang believed in this heroic act of saving the beauty, Xiao Binglan had decided to believe it.
Xiao Chenggang carefully examined his daughter's expression again, and when he was sure that she was not lying, his face immediately fell. "Xiaolan, I have been working hard for three years to help you find your partner, but I have been defeated over and over again, and I have become discouraged. And now, you have resolved the battle in just one night? This is too unreasonable."
"Besides, Dad has arranged so many potential partners for you, and each one of them is a top-notch young talent, but you didn't like any of them. Now you met someone in a bar, and you got together in less than a day. Fortunately, Dad has liver disease instead of heart disease, otherwise my little heart would not be able to bear it."
Xiao Binglan said calmly, "Dad, I know your concerns. Maybe you think we are too hasty to be together after knowing each other for less than a day. To be honest, I find it incredible myself. This is not my style at all. However, it really happened. Maybe this is the fate arranged by God. Love is always illogical and unreasonable. It has nothing to do with good or bad conditions. This is what you said."
"Ahem, did I say that?"
"If it wasn't you who said that, could it be Lu Xun who said that?"
"… "
In this round, Xiao Chenggang was completely defeated.
But he still refused to give up and asked, "Hey, what do you like about him?"
"I like him because he's tall, handsome, and has quite a bit of money, which means he won't be with me just to talk about money." Xiao Binglan responded quickly according to the prepared lines.
Xiao Chenggang frowned and said, "Do you know his character? We have only known each other for less than a day."
"His character is very clear, he is the kind of honest man you usually like the most."
"… "
Xiao Chenggang swore that with the eyes of a veteran scumbag like him, no matter how he looked at Shen Yingnian, he didn't show any honest characteristics at all. Instead, he had the characteristics of a complete scumbag!
Suddenly, Xiao Binglan asked back: "Dad, what do you think of my appearance?"
Xiao Chenggang said without hesitation: "Of course she is as beautiful as a fairy and stunningly beautiful."
"That's it, then. I'm so beautiful, and I was drugged. At that time, I was in a state where he could do whatever he wanted, but he was able to remain calm. Isn't that honest enough?" Xiao Binglan also began to question him soul-searchingly.
What he said made so much sense that Xiao Chenggang couldn't refute it.
"Dad, you were the one who urged me to find a partner all the time. Now that I have found one, you are not satisfied. It's really not easy to be your daughter." Xiao Binglan said unhappily.
Xiao Chenggang's expression changed several times, and finally he smiled bitterly and said, "Dad is just worried that you can't judge people well and be deceived by others. If you really like someone, you can try to date him first. During this period, Dad will help you to observe him carefully."
"Dad, there's no need to investigate. I've already made up my mind. He's the one for me in this life!" Xiao Binglan said with a resolute spirit.
"What do you mean? Explain it clearly!" Xiao Chenggang covered his aching liver.
Xiao Binglan was a little flustered for a moment. After all, she was about to tell the biggest lie of her life.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, so she took a deep breath, looked directly at her father, and said in a clear and loud voice: "I want to marry him!"
Xiao Chenggang's brain stopped working again, but the sharp pain in his left chest made him involuntarily move his hand from the liver area to the heart area. He said with trembling lips: "You, you ask the doctor to come quickly... Call a heart doctor... My heart can't take it..."
"dad!"
…
The result of all the chaos is a mess.
After the doctor finished the examination, Xiao Chenggang kicked his daughter out, saying that he wanted to be alone.
Jingjing is Xiao Chenggang’s original wife and Xiao Binglan’s mother. Whenever he is upset, he thinks of Jingjing.
After a while, Assistant Jin came back with a large amount of information.
"Chairman, we have investigated Shen Yingnian's background."
Assistant Jin was extremely excited, and with a fire of gossip in his heart, he said excitedly: "The content of this intelligence is even more explosive than Miss Lan bringing her boyfriend here."
Xiao Chenggang suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately reached out to take the tablet from Assistant Jin.
On the tablet was the intelligence that Assistant Jin had just collected, which detailed the entire family history of Mr. Shen.
When he saw his family background, Xiao Chenggang's facial expression twisted.
The Shen family has considerable financial resources, but they started out by making money through illegal means and have a very bad reputation in the circle.
Especially Shen Yingnian's parents, who are engaged in the real estate field and have been involved in various negative scandals, such as property quality issues, defrauding home buyers, and withholding wages for migrant workers... They are complete profiteers!
Scrolling to the bottom, Shen Yingnian's life situation once again shattered Xiao Chenggang's three views.
Good boy, this is no longer just a scumbag, but a fighting chicken among scumbags. Every day he is either hooking up or on the way to hook up. He can be called the sex king of Yunzhou.
He also bullies men and women, does evil things, and all the ugly aspects of human nature, such as meanness, shamelessness, vulgarity, and insidiousness, can be found in Young Master Shen.
Thinking of his daughter saying that he was an honest man, Xiao Chenggang threw the tablet to the ground and cursed: "Fuck an honest man!"
"Chairman, please calm down. Miss Lan must have been deceived by this brat. Let me expose his ugly face. I can do it. Chairman... Chairman, what's wrong with you?"
Assistant Jin's gossip fire was burning, he loved to tear the scumbag apart, but he suddenly found Xiao Chenggang covering his head with a look of pain on his face.
"Call another doctor for me... this time call a brain doctor... I have a headache..."
