Chapter 472: Chapter 476 Apocalypse Rebirth (13)

Seeing his son enter the room, Su Guosheng dismissed everyone around him and pointed with an inscrutable expression at the documents scattered across the table.

"Take a look for yourself."

At this moment, Su Guosheng also did not know how to comfort his son, who had always been strong.

Regardless of personality, as a man facing a cuckold’s green hat, it was a significant blow to one’s self-esteem and confidence.

Su Guosheng closely watched his son’s subtle facial expressions, waiting for him to explode with rage before figuring out how to console him.

As soon as Su Shaoqing saw his father’s expression, he immediately had a bad feeling.

As expected, after a quick scan, his tightly pursed lips still betrayed his inner turmoil.

But he was used to restraint, and aside from appearing more stern, not a trace of extra emotion showed on his face.

"What do you plan to do?" Su Guosheng did not know whether his son had deep feelings for the Chen Family’s girl since the marriage arrangement had been proposed by him.

Su Shaoqing’s face was tense, and he remained silent for a long time.

After a lengthy silence between father and son, Su Shaoqing finally spoke with difficulty, "Is this true?"

Su Guosheng said sarcastically, "When did you also learn to deceive yourself?"

Su Shaoqing replied, "If that’s the case, then let’s call off the engagement."

"I’ll need Father’s assistance with this."

To say he harbored deep feelings for Chen Yuanyuan was not quite right, but since she had initiated their interaction, he had, in his heart, acknowledged her as his future wife.

All his plans for the future had included her.

Although there wasn’t much love, his sense of responsibility was enough for him to include Chen Yuanyuan in his circle of protection.

It was only upon seeing the information in the documents that Su Shaoqing suddenly realized how fragile their relationship was.

He never knew that his fiancée could smile so joyfully.

But he had his pride, too, and since Chen Yuanyuan had made her choice, he would let go.

Su Guosheng nodded, relieved.

He feared that his son would be fixated on the Chen girl and act irrationally. That would be a disaster.

Coincidentally, this girl somehow got involved with Qi ersheng, and there would be more to untangle in the future.

Now that Qi ersheng had officially caught the attention of the highest leadership, if he had the sense to cooperate with the national action once officials approached him, there would be no issue. But if he chose to resist, the consequences...

To Su Guosheng, distancing himself from those involved was worthwhile.

The girl seemed meek and delicate at first glance. Who would have thought she was like this?

Naturally, Su Guosheng was angry that Chen Yuanyuan bore the title of his future daughter-in-law while acting shamelessly entangled with men.

Angry as he was, Su Guosheng had no intention of taking any redundant action.

He just planned to revoke any advantages given to the Chen Family.

As for Chen Yuanyuan...

Su Guosheng saw things clearly. Qi ersheng, who had such a fortuitous encounter, did not seem like one to settle for mediocrity. In the end, he might not comply; who knew what the outcome would be.

Chen Yuanyuan, linked with Qi ersheng, naturally wouldn’t end up well either.

Besides, without the title of the Su Family’s eldest son’s fiancée, could she still expect good things? Just the Chen Family alone could make her suffer.

Within a short span, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Su Guosheng’s mind.

Seeing that Su Shaoqing was silently in a foul mood, Su Guosheng took the opportunity to change the subject.

"In a few days, your cousin and uncle will come to the Capital, and you can go pick them up."

Su Shaoqing’s thoughts were naturally diverted and he followed Su Guosheng’s words, asking, "Have we decided to expose our relationship with the Chen Family?"

Most people in the Capital are shrewd, and a common act can be interpreted by them in various ways.

Directly having him go to the airport also amounted to publicly revealing the long-hidden relationship between the two families.

As soon as this topic came up, Su Guosheng was in a good mood and said, "It’s fine, your uncle also has a notable title from the old man, so those people can no longer attack us on account of our two families’ relationship."

"Your uncle always says your cousin is good in every way, and I’ve been curious for many years. Finally, I can meet the ’True Man.’"

Su Guosheng spoke cheerfully, which also eased Su Shaoqing’s mood considerably.

On one hand, the Su father and son were discussing Chen Yuanyuan, while on the other, the relationship between Chen Yuanyuan and Qi ersheng was ambiguously heating up.

She had no idea that her deeds outside were completely exposed under other people’s scrutiny, even her fiancé knew all about it.

Otherwise, she would die of shame, rather than blush and gaze at another man with starry eyes and in a cheerful mood.

People say men are from love to sex, women are from sex to love.

Whether or not men are like this, I’m not too sure, as there are also those who say men are half-beasts, capable of treating sex and love distinctly and without confusion.

But the saying that women go from sex to love does make some sense.

This can be seen from Chen Yuanyuan, who obviously had different emotional perceptions towards men she had skin-to-skin contact with.

In short, Qi ersheng occupied a special place in her heart all of a sudden.

In just half a day’s time, aside from the nominal title of lovers, there was no shortage of intimacy between the couple.

Pity that Chen Yuanyuan could still remember she had another identity, feeling extremely upset at the time of departure, she still bid farewell to Qi ersheng.

She should just consider this a beautiful dream; after the goodbye, there would be no connection between them.

He would be his Mr. Qi, she would be her Miss Chen, and later still Mrs. Su.

After coming to this realization, when she was cozy with Qi ersheng, Chen Yuanyuan let go of the heaviest burden in her heart.

After today, they would never meet again.

Chen Yuanyuan thought very well, but she was foolishly self-righteous, completely unaware if the other party would let her go.

Qi ersheng naturally knew the way of men and women’s interactions and wouldn’t immediately force her to extremes but instead smiled and went along with Chen Yuanyuan’s wishes, escorting her to the airport.

Watching the girl’s retreating figure, his eyes were determined to win her over.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, as a familiar figure flashed by him.

"Xiao Li..."

Su Li looked at Qi ersheng, who was walking towards her with a familiar air, with a smile that was not quite a smile, and cheerfully asked, "Here to see off a friend?"

Qi ersheng coughed lightly, saying lightly to avoid the important issue, "Yeah, just an ordinary friend."

The phrase "there’s no silver here" was precisely the state Qi ersheng found himself in at this moment.

He definitely couldn’t see just how ridiculous his flickering eyes were.

It seemed Su Li’s knowingly eyes put quite the pressure on Qi ersheng, and he raised his voice, suddenly frowning and asking, "Where are you going? How come you never told me?"

The accusatory tone was as if the sordid couple of past days had never existed.

He was far too presumptuous, already classifying Su Li as his possession, completely ignoring that there was another formidable figure present.

"How come I, the father of my daughter, need to report her whereabouts to you?"
