Chapter 1453 1448: Anyone but Him!
Guo Hong is a sensible man; he knows that Zhang Shu is not someone he can afford to mess with.Although he had used Zhang Shu's name to gain some benefits in the past, it was all petty stuff.
Because he understood what kind of person Zhang Shu is, he didn't dare provoke her too much.
However, using Zhang Shu's name, the small business he ran in Jiangdu did quite well.
At the door, a family of three stood there, six eyes meeting each other.
For a moment, silence reigned.
Yuanyuan had very complicated feelings toward her parents. To put it objectively, she wasn't close to either of her closest blood relatives.
Because during her childhood, she received very little warmth.
Her parents did not fulfill their duties at all.
"Mom." Yuanyuan said a single word after gazing at Guo Hong for a long time.
Zhang Shu didn't respond, she just listened quietly.
"Let him in." That was Yuanyuan's second sentence.
Hearing Yuanyuan say this, Zhang Shu didn't say anything more. She just opened the door completely and walked toward the living room first.
After all, Guo Hong was still Yuanyuan's biological father, something that couldn't be avoided no matter what.
Since it can't be avoided, then face it directly.
Guo Hong carried the big and small bags of gifts into the villa.
While bringing things into the villa, he kept talking: "Yuanyuan, you're the one who really cares. Come, Yuanyuan, take a look at what Dad bought for you. This set of cosmetics was specially bought overseas as a birthday gift for you; they say it's some kind of limited edition..."
"Today's my birthday; I don't want everyone to be unhappy, but you'd better not provoke my mom, or you'll be asked to leave immediately." Yuanyuan wasn't buying it. She wasn't that interested in luxury goods or limited editions; you could say she had grown up or perhaps just seen too much.
"Alright, alright, it's all up to our Yuanyuan." Guo Hong smiled broadly.
Yuanyuan was his only daughter. Even though he wasn't the best person, he was willing to spend money on his own daughter.
The birthday gifts for Yuanyuan this trip cost him no less than a hundred thousand.
Speaking of it, Guo Hong felt a bit of the pinch. One hundred thousand — you might not even spend that much maintaining a woman, right?
But when he walked into the house and saw a young man sitting in the dining room, Guo Hong hesitated slightly.
He spoke with a somewhat strange tone, "Who's this?"
He almost instinctively thought it was a man Zhang Shu had found.
Well, that was actually true; this man was indeed with Zhang Shu.
"He's my boyfriend." But before Su Chen, who was sitting there, could turn around, Yuanyuan had already said frankly to Guo Hong.
In reality, the reason Yuanyuan let Guo Hong in was that she wanted Guo Hong to see Su Chen.
After all, this man is her biological father, and now that she's ready to date, she should introduce her boyfriend to her parents, right?
Now her mother had already seen him, so it was a good opportunity to have Guo Hong meet him too since who knows when they'd meet again.
When Guo Hong heard Yuanyuan say this, he first let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a man Zhang Shu had found.
But then he exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He suddenly shouted, "What? You're dating? You're so young; do you even know what dating is? And what's his background?"
A series of questions flew at Yuanyuan relentlessly like a hail of bullets.
Yuanyuan, however, calmly looked at Guo Hong and said, "I'm just informing you, not discussing with you. Also, whether I date or not doesn't require your consent. Agree or disagree, you have no right to control me."
Yuanyuan's disregard was something Guo Hong anticipated, but this blatant rebuttal left Guo Hong feeling a bit embarrassed.
After all, he was Yuanyuan's biological father and a small businessman worth nearly ten million.
Outside, whether because of money or because of the connection with Zhang Shu, people still gave him face.
Today, being rebuked by his own daughter left Guo Hong feeling utterly deflated inside.
He walked towards Su Chen with a flushed face, seemingly wanting to vent his anger on Su Chen.
"You little punk, how dare you trick my daughter? Don't you know who I, Guo Hong, am? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid you won't know..."
Just as he was about to act, Guo Hong suddenly felt like something stuck in his throat and couldn't speak for a while.
Because at that moment, Su Chen put down his utensils and turned around.
Seeing Su Chen's familiar yet strange face, Guo Hong's words got stuck.
This person, he hadn't seen in a long time.
But he remembered that face, especially since that day's pain and embarrassment were unforgettable.
After a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence from looking at Su Chen's face: "Why, why is it you?"
"You know each other?" Now it was Yuanyuan's turn to be curious.
How did Su Chen know Guo Hong?
Though her father was unreliable, and she didn't like him, she knew quite a bit about Guo Hong's affairs.
Su Chen calmly glanced at Guo Hong, then said to Yuanyuan, "We've met once or twice."
"Oh." Yuanyuan didn't probe further.
Whether Su Chen and Guo Hong knew each other or not didn't concern her; today was her birthday. She just wanted Guo Hong to see Su Chen, like meeting the parents.
"Yuanyuan, is he the boyfriend you mentioned?!" It was only now that Guo Hong came out of the shock of seeing Su Chen.
"Yes, he is my boyfriend!" Yuanyuan said with an unusually firm tone.
"No way! I don't agree!" Guo Hong said.
"I told you, my choice to date doesn't require your agreement." Yuanyuan said calmly.
But Guo Hong said, "I don't care if you date or not, but not with him! You can date anyone except for him!"
"Hmm? Why? How did he offend you?" Yuanyuan asked, confused, looking at both Guo Hong and Su Chen.
Could it be they knew each other because of a feud?
Yuanyuan guessed correctly; they indeed had a grudge, a significant one at that.
As the saying goes, taking away someone's love is like killing their parents.
Moreover, Su Chen not only ruined his plans but indeed held a grudge for robbing his wife!
"Maybe there's a bit of misunderstanding between me and Mr. Guo." Su Chen said with an ironically nonchalant smile, but the smile was laced with coldness.
Guo Hong was a scumbag, and while Su Chen wasn't overflowing with a sense of justice, he would indeed turn into a sword of justice when it came to people close to him.
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding my ass! Get out of here now, and if you dare mess with my daughter again, I'll..." For a moment, Guo Hong didn't know what threat to use because it seemed he couldn't beat Su Chen?
