My stepmother forced me to donate bone marrow, so I retaliated by slapping my scumbag father in the

Shen Ze raised his head and looked at Yu Yehua.

Yu Yehua seemed to remember something and asked casually, "By the way, Mr. Shen, who are you waiting for?"

Shen Ze paused for a second: "My girlfriend."

Yu Yehua's smile froze for a moment, and a very absurd thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Could it be such a coincidence?

He quickly took out his phone: "I'll call Binglan and urge her to come down."

Shen Ze also picked up his phone: "I'll contact her too."

The two dialed the number almost simultaneously.

Yu Yehua dialed the number, and the phone emitted a notification tone: "Sorry, the user you dialed is currently on another call..."

He frowned, hung up and dialed again, but the line was still busy.

Shen Ze received the same message: "Currently in a call."

Both of them stopped moving at the same time.

Yu Yehua looked at the phone in Shen Ze's hand, then at his own phone, and Shen Ze also looked up at him.

The air seemed to suddenly become quiet.

Yu Yehua's throat tightened; his voice was strained. "Mr. Shen, what's your girlfriend's name...?"

Shen Ze looked at him and said, word by word, "Yu Binglan."

Yu Yehua froze on the spot, as if a thread had suddenly strung together all the clues in his mind.

My daughter says she has a boyfriend, but she absolutely refuses to tell him his name beforehand.

Shen Ze said he had a girlfriend and had an important appointment today.

Shen Zelai was waiting for someone at the entrance of his residential compound...

The talented young man he had been trying to acquire the Qingnian Road plot of land turned out to be Yu Binglan's boyfriend!

Shen Ze looked at Yu Yehua in front of him and reacted at the same moment.

The wealthy man in front of us, who is determined to acquire the Qingnian Road plot, is Yu Binglan's father.

He looked at Yu Yehua and froze for a moment.

At that moment, he really felt a chill down his spine.

He was late for his first formal visit to Yu Binglan's father's home.

Not only was he late, but Yu Yehua also made several phone calls on the way. Because he was in a hurry, he kept interrupting the other person's conversation, and finally simply hung up the phone.

What's worse, he had just stood at the entrance of the residential compound, in front of Yu Yehua, and rejected three offers to acquire the Qingnian Road plot.

If it's just ordinary business dealings, there's nothing wrong with that.

But things are different now. The person in front of me is Yu Binglan's father, her future father-in-law.

Even the most composed Shen Ze was starting to lose his composure for a second.

Yu Yehua was also stunned for a few seconds, and then the expression on his face gradually changed.

He had heard from Yu Binglan that she had a boyfriend, and he wasn't really at ease.

My daughter is so outstanding and has such high standards that any man she sets her sights on must be extraordinary.

But the more this happened, the more worried Yu Yehua became.

What if the other person is just sweet-talking and good at flattery?

What if he only fooled Yu Binglan with his looks and a little bit of cleverness?

He had even planned that if the other person wasn't a good match after they met today, he would find a way to break them up, even if his daughter complained.

But while waiting for someone at home just now, another thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.

If only my daughter's boyfriend were Shen Ze.

Young, composed, insightful, and decisive.

That move on Qingnian Road really made a group of old foxes in Shanghai feel their faces sting.

Only someone like that is worthy of Yu Yehua's daughter.

Unexpectedly, this idea actually came true.

Yu Yehua looked at Shen Ze and became more and more satisfied. The dissatisfaction he had accumulated because of being late vanished in an instant.

Shen Zexian spoke first: "Uncle Yu."

He didn't address Yu as Chairman Yu again, and his attitude was very proper: "I'm sorry, I was rude today."

Yu Yehua felt even more comfortable upon hearing this address.

Shen Ze continued, "It was my first visit, and I should have arrived earlier, but I was delayed by some trivial matters."

"You called me on the way, but I didn't explain properly and even hung up on you."

"I know you value punctuality, and I also know that this kind of attitude is most disliked when meeting elders for the first time."

"This is my problem."

These words were spoken very sincerely, without making excuses or putting on airs.

Yu Yehua's last bit of resentment disappeared. He waved his hand and laughed, "Every man has unexpected situations when he's out working."

"The fact that you came today shows that you take this matter to heart."

"As for the phone call, that's nothing. I'm just too attached to that piece of land on Qingnian Road."

At this point, Yu Yehua couldn't help but laugh again.

"But I really didn't expect that the future son-in-law I was waiting for at home would actually be Mr. Shen, whom I had been trying to discuss business with earlier."

Shen Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Yehua was much easier to get along with than the strict father Yu Binglan had described.

He was prepared to be interrogated coldly, but to his surprise, Yu Yehua not only didn't blame him, but also gave him a way out.

"Uncle Yu, let's talk about the business another day when it's convenient for you."

Yu Yehua patted his arm: "No rush."

He laughed as soon as he said those two words.

He just kept making phone calls, eager to close the deal on Qingnian Road immediately.

Now that they know Shen Ze is their daughter's boyfriend, their attitude has completely changed.

The land is important, but the son-in-law is even more important.

"Let's go upstairs."

Yu Yehua said warmly, "Binglan has been waiting for you at home for ages. She didn't say anything just now, but she must have been really worried."

Shen Ze nodded: "I'm sorry to have kept her waiting."

The two chatted as they walked inside.

Yu Yehua asked Shen Ze a few questions about what happened today, but Shen Ze only gave brief answers and did not go into details about the mess in the Shen family.

Yu Yehua didn't press the matter. Having been in business for so many years, he could tell that Shen Ze wasn't an impolite person.

Being late today must be no small matter.

The security guard at the gate of the residential area looked at the two walking in side by side with a strange expression on his face.

Just now, Yu Yehua was addressing this young man as "Mr. Shen" repeatedly, and they were talking about a plot of land worth billions.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them walked upstairs like a family.

The security guard was wondering to himself, "Just who is this young man?"

Upstairs, Yu Binglan couldn't sit still in the living room any longer.

She glanced at the time, then at the doorway.

Shen Ze hadn't sent any new messages even though his father had been downstairs for over ten minutes.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't take long to get from the entrance of the community to the building.

But neither of them has returned yet.

Yu Binglan felt something was wrong the more she thought about it; she knew Yu Yehua too well.

Her father usually seemed easy to talk to, but when it came to her life's most important matter, he would never easily give an answer.

Shen Ze was late again today, and he clearly didn't have time to explain on the phone just now.

Would Father kick Shen Ze out as soon as he saw him downstairs?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Yu Binglan couldn't sit still.

She picked up her phone, preparing to go out and go downstairs, when she suddenly heard the sound of a lock being opened at the door.

The next second, the door opened, and Yu Yehua and Shen Ze walked in one after the other.

Far from being on the verge of conflict, Yu Yehua even smiled and said, "Little Shen, try my old tea later. I usually can't bear to take it out."

Shen Ze laughed and said, "Then I'm in for a treat today."
