I am not just a tycoon

Old Gu didn't mention the blind date at all and even flattered them.

Zhou Peiwei found it annoying and wanted to complain, saying he just said she was a perfect match for Gu Junchen, and now he's saying she and Shen Yuan make a good couple. His face changes faster than flipping through a book.

Shen Yuan nodded: "I see."

Then, Shen Yuan chatted with Gu Dongliang and Zhou Guoqiang about Anke. Zhou Guoqiang felt complicated but remained polite on the surface.

Gu Dongliang also believed it was just a coincidence and felt relieved. If Shen Yuan had come to stand up for Zhou Peiwei, it wouldn't have been so easy to handle.

Although he didn't get the chance to taste the mother and daughter, at least he didn't offend Shen Yuan. This was the best possible outcome.

After eating some food and having a couple of drinks, Shen Yuan got up to go to the restroom. Just as he finished urinating, he ran into Gu Dongliang.

Gu Dongliang smiled and said, "Shen Yuan, you definitely have a good tolerance for alcohol. Two cups of Baijiu, and your face doesn't change color. We don't have such a good tolerance."

"It's okay."

Shen Yuan's face remained unchanged: "Come here, I need to talk to you about something."

Gu Dongliang didn't know what it was about but followed Shen Yuan into the adjacent private dining room with a heavy heart.

Only Tan Xin was in this private dining room, having finished eating and standing up to digest her food. She coldly glanced at Gu Dongliang.

"What's the matter, Shen Yuan?" Gu Dongliang asked.

Shen Yuan scrutinized him: "I know you're trying to match your son with Zhou Peiwei."

The inevitable still came, but at least it wasn't mentioned during the meal... Gu Dongliang lowered his head sincerely: "Shen Yuan, it was indeed wrong of me to try to match them. If I had known Weiwei was your girlfriend, I wouldn't have dared to propose this. But rest assured, after today, I will never mention it again."

"Don't call her Peiwei, you're not worthy."

"Hmm?"

Gu Dongliang didn't hear clearly.

Shen Yuan made a signal to Tan Xin, and as soon as Gu Dongliang raised his head, a bright shadow swiftly approached. "Slap!" An ear-piercing and crisp sound echoed in the private dining room.

Gu Dongliang's glasses were instantly slapped off his nose, followed by a burning pain on his face that even made his lips bleed.

He held his face in disbelief, his complexion quickly turning the color of a pig's liver. Who would've thought they'd go from talking just fine to a sudden slap?

"Shen Yuan, what does this mean? Hitting people is against the law!"

Although Gu Dongliang feared offending Shen Yuan, he wasn't someone to be easily manipulated.

"Who's hitting anyone? Did you see me raise a hand?"

Shen Yuan said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you're scheming. Do you want everyone to know your dirty deeds?"

Gu Dongliang's heart sank. Did Shen Yuan investigate me?

"Now, pick up your glasses and wear them properly." Shen Yuan commanded.

Gu Dongliang endured the pain, weighing the pros and cons. If those deeds were exposed, Shen Yuan wouldn't even need to use his resources to ruin me.

The company would undoubtedly fire me, and if it spread, no one in the industry would dare to hire me.

Thinking about this sent chills down his spine.

"Did you not hear me tell you to pick up your glasses and wear them properly?" Shen Yuan asked sternly.

Gu Dongliang's heart filled with sorrow, and he had no choice but to pick up his glasses, noticing both lenses were cracked like a spider web.

He wore the glasses, composed himself, and bowed deeply: "Shen Yuan, I was wrong. I sincerely apologize to you, I hope you'll forgive me..."

"Get lost."

Gu Dongliang dared not say anything more, covering his face as he left the private dining room, not even daring to return to the adjacent one, immediately calling his wife and daughter to go home.

As he passed by a glass panel, he clearly saw the conspicuous slap mark on his face and his damaged glasses via the reflection, looking as miserable as a beaten dog.

Gu Junchen had no idea what had happened when he received the call. Weren't they eating well just moments ago? Why did they suddenly have to leave?

Right then, an angry howl came through the phone, startling him. He cursed under his breath and had no choice but to get up and apologize: "Sorry, we have some family matters to attend to, we need to leave first."

Zhou Guoqiang didn't understand what had happened either, but he did hear some of the panicked voice from the receiver just now.

"It's okay, you guys go ahead."

Once they left and Shen Yuan also wasn't around, Zhou Guoqiang finally felt free to ask: "Weiwei, when did you and Shen Yuan get together, why didn't you tell us?"

"Why is it worth mentioning? It's not a big deal."

Zhou Peiwei never thought of telling her parents because she subconsciously felt they wouldn't approve. After all, Shen Yuan had too many women around him...

Xu Xiaoyan didn't know about Shen Yuan's gossip and instead approved: "Old Zhou, isn't this a good thing? Your future son-in-law is one of your bosses, maybe you can rely on him to get promoted in the company."

Zhou Guoqiang sighed inwardly. Who wouldn't want to get promoted? But the problem is the cost of promotion is his daughter's relationship.

The more he thought about it, the more complicated he felt.

Then, he looked at his daughter: "Weiwei, does he like you?"

Zhou Peiwei affirmed: "Of course, if he didn't like me, he wouldn't have come here today."

Zhou Guoqiang understood now, Shen Yuan showing up was to stand up for his daughter, which explained why Gu Dongliang left without a word.

At least Shen Yuan cared about his daughter... Zhou Guoqiang comforted himself.

Not long after, Shen Yuan returned to the private dining room, acted nonchalantly, continued eating and drinking, and even invited them: "Eat up, Uncle, Aunt."

Now without outsiders around, Shen Yuan began to act like the younger generation.

Hearing "Uncle, Aunt" made Zhou Guoqiang and Xu Xiaoyan a bit uncomfortable. Zhou Guoqiang even felt a headache. Shen Yuan seeing himself as the younger generation, should I also see him that way?

After thinking about it, Zhou Guoqiang felt he shouldn't.

"Shen Yuan, please eat, need me to order more dishes?" Zhou Guoqiang politely asked.

"Dad, there's no one else here, just call him Shen." Zhou Peiwei nudged Shen Yuan: "Right?"

"You child, talking like that." Xu Xiaoyan pulled her aside.

Shen Yuan chuckled: "Sure, Uncle, Aunt, call me whatever you like, make yourselves comfortable."

Although Shen Yuan said this, the two still felt somewhat restrained. Throughout the meal, they rarely spoke proactively, mostly having Shen Yuan lead the conversation.

When parting, Zhou Guoqiang needed to return to work and Xu Xiaoyan to head home. Shen Yuan suggested: "Uncle, Aunt, let Peiwei come over to my place today, I'll bring her back tonight."

Zhou Guoqiang's lips twitched: "Alright, you two have fun."

Sitting in the back of the Phantom, Zhou Peiwei pinched Shen Yuan's arm strongly: "You're quite bold now, daring to take me away right in front of my parents."

"Take it easy, take it easy, see why I came this trip."

"Humph, okay, I'll give you credit for this."

Zhou Peiwei felt content, leaned into Shen Yuan's arm, playfully swinging her legs: "Where are you taking me to have fun, Shen Yuan?"

"To my villa."

"Again at the villa? Can't we go out this time?" Zhou Peiwei pouted.

"We could also have fun in the car, but there's a driver now."

"Shen Yuan, stop messing around, you know that's not what I mean."

Zhou Peiwei poked his waist: "You think about those things every day, big jerk."

"Hmm, every day thinking about your big tits."

Zhou Peiwei's cheeks quickly turned rosy: "Say that again and I won't talk to you anymore."

Tan Xin also felt awkward listening and instinctively blocked out Shen Yuan's voice.

This time, Shen Yuan took Zhou Peiwei back to Silver Lake Bay. As they entered the underground garage, Zhou Peiwei marveled: "No wonder I wondered why no one was at the Green Bamboo Lake villa. Turns out you moved, the garage here is so classy with an elevator. This villa is much more upscale than the one at Green Bamboo Lake. What a lavish life you live."

"Come on, let's go swimming."

"Swimming? But I didn't bring a swimsuit."

"I have some."

Shen Yuan thought Ji Ya had already prepared a range of lingerie and swimwear from 32B to 40E and surely would have one that fits Zhou Peiwei.
