Chapter 1054 Daddy, I Believe in Yuechuan

After he got sick, Shen Yuechuan was indeed physically weaker than before, but his brain was still functioning well.

He understood what Luo Xiaoxi meant.

As Xiao Guoshan’s daughter, Xiao Yunyun was going to marry him tomorrow, but Xiao Guoshan had never met him before.

It was almost inevitable that Xiao Guoshan would put him to the test the first time they met, so as to see if he had the ability to take care of Xiao Yunyun.

Shen Yuechuan pondered for a moment and suddenly felt that he could completely understand Xiao Guoshan’s frame of mind.

If he and Xiao Yunyun also had a daughter in a few years, and a strange boy suddenly appeared in front of him and asked to marry his daughter after more than 20 years, he would not test the boy, but would instead beat him up.

However, Xiao Guoshan should not have treated him in this way.

Therefore, at present, the most important thing was to find a way to pass Xiao Guoshan’s test.

Shen Yuechuan thought about it and suddenly felt that he should ask someone experienced in this kind of thing for advice.

He checked the time and calculated that Xiao Yunyun and Xiao Guoshan would not arrive so soon. He looked at Su Yicheng and asked decisively, “How did you pass Mr. Luo’s test before you married Xiaoxi?”

“…” Su Yicheng did not respond.

Luo Xiaoxi glanced at Su Yicheng, smiled, and said meaningfully, “He did it in a roundabout way. He first infiltrated his enemy’s camp.”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a long time and said with a shrug, “I don’t understand.”

Su Yicheng coughed and said stiffly, “My experience would not be of any help. You’d better drop the idea.”

Shen Yuechuan suddenly thought of something and nodded in agreement. “I understand. At that time, it was Xiaoxi who pursued you first.”

Luo Xiaoxi admitted that she indeed fell in love with Su Yicheng first and even pursued him.

She did not mind others bringing this up at all.

However, she had to emphasize one thing.

“Later, I didn’t want him!”

Only then did Shen Yuechuan remember that Mr. and Mrs. Luo had a car accident on the way to Luo Xiaoxi’s finals held at the TV station. They almost passed away and only recovered after a long time.

Luo Xiaoxi then went far away. She said that she was going to take a break and cut off all contact with everyone.

During that period of time, Su Yicheng was a model of good behavior and only attended some important social activities. Otherwise, outside of his work, he usually stayed at home and lived like a lonely old man.

Now the story did not seem so simple. Su Yicheng must have done something else.

Shen Yuechuan stared intently at Su Yicheng. “What did you do when Xiaoxi went away?”

Out of goodwill, Su Yicheng decided to help Shen Yuechuan. He said vaguely, “Just give him whatever he wants.”

“…” Shen Yuechuan was confused.

Luo Xiaoxi was ever ready to stir up some trouble and could not help giving Su Yicheng’s game away. “Let me tell you! During that period of time, he went to my house every few days, played chess with my father, and bought my mother the latest products that were not on the market yet. He ate so often with my parents that he almost became part of the family. After I came back, my parents directly gave me away to him.”

It was not until now that Shen Yuechuan knew the story behind Shen Yuechuan and Luo Xiaoxi’s marriage.

He smiled and said, “Sure enough, behind every story with a perfect ending, there is an unknown history filled with blood and tears.”

Su Yicheng coughed. Although embarrassed, he still tried to maintain a natural look. “So, the reason why I said that my experience would be of no help is because you don’t have time to drink tea and play chess with Yunyun’s father. He will be here soon.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Shen Yuechuan took a deep breath and pretended to relax. “I can deal with difficult partners, so it’s okay… even if it is Yunyun’s father!”

After that, Shen Yuechuan tidied up his suit and tie.

It was a small action that revealed the fact that he was not that confident.

In fact, Shen Yuechuan knew better than anyone else that if there was really a relationship between the fathers-in-law and their sons-in-law similar to the partnership between “Party A” and “Party B”, then the fathers-in-law would be the most difficult partners.

He was not nervous. He had the ability!

Luo Xiaoxi saw through Shen Yuechuan’s nervousness at a glance. Instead of exposing him, she just teased him. “No need to straighten your suit anymore. You are already very handsome!”

Shen Yuechuan looked down at himself and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he nodded in agreement and said, “I don’t think that getting sick has affected my handsome appearance at all!”

Luo Xiaoxi told herself that Yuechuan was a patient. She should care about the patient instead of rebuking him.

Besides, he was telling the truth.

Ever since Shen Yuechuan fell ill, although he had lost a lot of weight, being sick did not affect his appearance, nor did it affect his handsome and sharp features.

Once he put on a suit, he would still be who he used to be. He could dominate the business world with Lu Boyan, and his aura was not reduced at all.

Luo Xiaoxi did not tell Shen Yuechuan that he could definitely pass Yunyun’s father’s test with his elite temperament.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Shen Yuechuan stood up almost subconsciously. The next second, the door of the private room was pushed open.

It was Xiao Yunyun who pushed the door open. She stood in the middle, with Xiao Guoshan and Su Yunjin on either side. They seemed to be a very close-knit family of three.

No one in the private room had seen Xiao Guoshan before. In order to show their respect, Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi also stood up.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat somber.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunyun was good at livening up the atmosphere. She directly pulled Xiao Guoshan in and introduced Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi to him, saying, “Dad, this is my cousin and cousin-in-law.”

“Nice to meet you. Thank you for your constant care for Yunyun.”

Xiao Guoshan behaved with the utmost courtesy towards them. He shook Su Yicheng’s hand firmly, but shook hands with Luo Xiaoxi like a gentleman.

Luo Xiaoxi thought to herself, “Yuechuan’s future father-in-law looks nice, so he might not make things difficult for Yuechuan.”

Then, it was Yuechuan’s turn.

Xiao Yunyun pulled Xiao Guoshan to Shen Yuechuan, pointed at him, and stated clearly and seriously, “Dad, this is Yuechuan, my boyfriend!”

Shen Yuechuan had never feared anyone.

After following Lu Boyan back to City A from country A, he had taken to life there like a fish to water and never had to worry about dealing with people.

At this moment, facing Xiao Yunyun’s father, he was actually very nervous.

Fortunately, after being Lu Boyan’s assistant for a few years, his acting skills had improved greatly. He was able to conceal his nervousness at the bottom of his heart.

Shen Yuechuan smiled and naturally greeted Xiao Guoshan. “Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too. Yunyun has mentioned you to me many times.” Xiao Guoshan raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. “Everybody, have a seat. It’s very tiring to stand.”

Su Yicheng held Luo Xiaoxi and said softly, “Let’s sit down.”

In front of Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan, Luo Xiaoxi respected Su Yicheng very much and sat down obediently.

Shen Yuechuan called the waiter and said, “It’s time to serve the dishes. Thank you.” After that, he turned to look at Xiao Guoshan and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, “Mr. Xiao, Yunyun told me that you like native dishes. This hotel’s native dishes are very authentic. You can try them. We’ll go to another hotel another day.”

“Okay.” Xiao Guoshan smiled and seemed to be looking forward to it. “Although I can eat the same dishes in country D, I always feel that the dishes in non-native restaurants don’t taste quite right!”

The dishes ordered by Shen Yuechuan were soon served one by one. Xiao Guoshan picked up his chopsticks, tried the food, and nodded repeatedly. “It tastes good. The flavor is the same as that in my childhood memories.”

Xiao Yunyun followed suit and tried the food. She nodded like Xiao Guoshan and said mischievously, “It tastes good. It’s the very flavor I remember when I was in my 20s.”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the private room eased considerably.

Shen Yuechuan laughed, but he could not quite relax yet.

Recently, apart from the time when Tang Yulan was kidnapped, this must be his most nervous moment.

He had to be fully alert, because Xiao Guoshan’s test might come at any time.

If he failed, his wedding with Xiao Yunyun might not go well.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Guoshan answered a phone call and talked about work.

Xiao Guoshan was considering purchasing a company called “J&F”. He was asking someone to evaluate J&F’s state of affairs. The evaluator told him that he should consider making the purchase and asked him when he would sign the contract.

Shen Yuechuan listened attentively to the details of Xiao Guoshan’s phone call. When he heard the evaluator ask Xiao Guoshan when he would sign the contract, he shook his head at Xiao Guoshan, indicating that he should not make a decision rashly.

Xiao Guoshan had intended to sign the contract, but when he saw Shen Yuechuan’s action, he told the evaluator, “I need to think it over. Thank you.”

He hung up the phone, looked at Shen Yuechuan, and asked in confusion, “Yuechuan, what’s wrong?”

Shen Yuechuan seemed to be at Lu Enterprises’ office. There was a touch of seriousness on his handsome face. “Mr. Xiao, I don’t recommend that you buy J&F.”

“Oh?” A curious look appeared on Xiao Guoshan’s face. “I want to know why.”

Shen Yuechuan put down his chopsticks and analyzed the current situation of the industry and J&F for Xiao Guoshan from a very rational point of view.

In the end, Shen Yuechuan said, “Mr. Xiao, in fact, J&F is now a shell company without any value.”

Xiao Guoshan was even more confused. “The evaluator I hired is a professional.”

Shen Yuechuan seemed to be used to that sort of comment. He thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Xiao, I think you should investigate the relationship between the evaluator and J&F’s chairman.”

“Well, Dad,” Xiao Yunyun blinked and said mischievously, “if I were you, I would trust Yuechuan!”

Xiao Guoshan stared at Shen Yuechuan.

He had to admit that Shen Yuechuan was one of the few young people who he thought was calm and wise.

It would be good that he believed in the person that his daughter believed in.

He should not make a mistake…
