Before the old man could finish, Shen Liangchuan interrupted with a hand gesture and said, “Granddad, that’s not necessary, I have already thought it through.”
Pointing at the document, he continued, “From my perspective, all these things added together are not half as important as her. I am certainly marrying her.”
The Senior Master frowned and said, “And if I insist on stopping the wedding?”
Shen Liangchuan frowned and replied, “Then I can only give up my duties as the Shen family enterprise’s CEO. In any case, the Shen family still has Zihao.”
The Senior Master was flabbergasted.
He waved his hand. Butler Cai retreated at this signal.
The Senior Master cast his gaze down and said, “You get married then, I couldn’t care less about it. But… I do not like the girl, so don’t bring her when you visit.”
Shen Liangchuan picked up his jacket and said, “Don’t worry, I wouldn’t want to put her in any difficult position.”
Having said this, the young man walked towards the exit. After he had taken a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, “Oh, that’s right, Granddad, since you do not like her, then we won’t send you a wedding invitation. I think you probably won’t want to witness my mother’s second marriage.”
After saying this, he walked away.
The Senior Master was flabbergasted.
Of course he had no wish to witness that wedding.
However when Shen Liangchuan had said he wasn’t going to send him an invitation, that had annoyed him to no end.
Frowning indignantly, the old man thought to himself, “Who wants to go to your wedding?!”
–
After leaving the family home, Shen Liangchuan headed to the photo studio.
On the way there, he picked up a call from Qiao Lian. “Where are you? Why aren’t you here yet?”
Shen Liangchuan’s tone softened at once as he replied, “I’m arriving.”
“Oh, have you seen what’s on the internet?”
Shen Liangchuan asked, “What?”
“Hahaha. I’m not sure who dug up all the dirt on King and exposed him. So it seems that King left country H’s national team not because he retired, but because he was booted out for breaking the club’s regulations. That was why he came to China to develop his career. And someone found out about the match we played in the bar, they actually figured out that Pad is King! They commented how shameless it was for a bunch of professional players to pick on a few students. And someone also added that King has a complicated private life, he had a few girlfriends or something. In any case, he’s receiving a lot of hate now.”
Shen Liangchuan honestly had no interest in King’s plight. But since she was so obviously gleeful, he naturally indulged her. “Uh-huh, and then?”
She went on, “And then because of the bad reputation he got, SX Team had to disband. Now King won’t be able to get anywhere in China and it seems he has left, dejected. But he is still a celebrity gamer and even if he were to flee to another country, news has spread and he won’t have an easy time.”
Laughing, Shen Liangchuan said, “Are you done?”
“I’m done.” Qiao Lian said and continued, “Oh, Shen Liangchuan, our wedding. Are we having a Chinese wedding or a Western one? You’re being so secretive. What are you up to?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan reflexively massaged his temple with one hand.
Looking straight ahead as the van drove along, a faint smile appeared on his face.
He started, “I—”
Before he could get past that first word, his pupils shrank back suddenly. Out of the blue, a little sedan had appeared. It headed straight at Shen Liangchuan’s van and crashed right into it.
