Chapter 185: Truly a Good Son-in-law (Part 1)

Ding Xiang was startled by Shen Kuo’s actions.

What’s the rush?

A man in his forties still so impetuous, in broad daylight, surely not thinking of doing something bad!

That wouldn’t do.

The kids are still here.

The last emotional outbreak was embarrassing enough.

If the kids heard them again, how awkward would that be!

At this moment, Shen Kuo had no intention of fostering harmony.

After closing the door, he said with a nervous face, “Ding Xiang, guess what I heard this afternoon? I went to Liu Li’s company and accidentally heard driver Little Wang saying that a girl had been very enthusiastically chasing our Little Feng!”

“What?”

Ding Xiang was also taken aback.

She had never seen Liu Ruoxin, but regardless of who this girl was, she posed a threat to her own daughter.

“What should we do?”

Sweat rolled down Shen Kuo’s face.

Previously,

He was the person least hoping for Shen Lingyao to marry Zhao Qingfeng.

But now,

He wholly approved of Zhao Qingfeng, already treating him as his son-in-law!

Not to mention a suitor suddenly appearing, Shen Kuo thought even further ahead.

Forget about Zhao Qingfeng being successful or precocious, no matter how impressive, he was only eighteen years old.

Having been a director for many years, Shen Kuo had faced numerous temptations.

He loved Ding Xiang with all his heart, but there were times he almost couldn’t control himself.

Zhao Qingfeng was so young.

Could he resist the temptations of the flashy world?

They say men turn bad when they get money.

Moreover,

Zhao Qingfeng’s direct subordinate was the notoriously lecherous Zhang!

A man is known by the company he keeps.

What if one day Zhao Qingfeng hears about Zhang sleeping around and gets tempted?

Or meets new girls in university later on?

Then,

What would become of his daughter?

If he wronged his daughter, Old Shen would definitely fight Zhao Qingfeng to the death!

By then,

The two families would turn from relatives to enemies.

Not only would he end up in jail, but both families would be ruined!

“Sigh…”

Thinking this, Shen Kuo heaved a long sigh, “Little Feng’s business has become too big, it would be better if it were smaller…”

“You, you, you!”

Ding Xiang pinched his ear, firmly stating, “You were the one who said Little Feng was no good at first, and now you’re worried about him being too successful! Stop overthinking, I’m sure Little Feng is not that kind of person. Didn’t you see how happy he was just now? Do you know why? Your precious daughter spent all the pocket money you gave her to buy Little Feng a watch. Do you understand what that means? In their eyes, it’s like half an engagement gift; the kids are happy, so stop making faces here!”

An engagement gift?

Shen Kuo asked in detail.

When he learned that the watch Shen Lingyao gave Zhao Qingfeng cost less than a thousand yuan, he became even more worried.

Perhaps for other eighteen-year-old boys, a thousand-yuan watch could be considered a treasure.

But for Zhao Qingfeng,

With his status, what couldn’t he have?

He had also heard from Zhang Dekai that many company CEOs were begging Li Jianjun and Wang Yang, hoping Zhao Qingfeng would give lectures at their companies.

The price was very high.

At least twenty thousand yuan per session.

But Zhao Qingfeng declined them all, politely saying he didn’t have time.

So,

He wouldn’t care for a watch worth a thousand yuan for a single lecture, how could he possibly wear it?

Even if he wore it at home, he definitely wouldn’t wear it outside!

After all, in the adult world, a watch is a symbol of identity, wealth, and status.

Every time Shen Kuo saw the factory manager flaunting his high-end Longines watch at meetings, he felt a peculiar emotion.

So he was certain,

Zhao Qingfeng would never wear a no-name brand watch to important occasions, it would be too damaging to his status…

After wandering thoughts for a while, dinner was ready.

Shen Kuo sat at the table in a daze, sneaking glances at the two kids.

They were still messing around, not calm even while eating.

Laughing and carefree, the no-name watch was on Zhao Qingfeng’s left wrist.

Zhao Qingfeng noticed Shen Kuo’s gaze, “Uncle Shen, what’s up?”

Shen Kuo took a sip of wine and smiled, “Nice watch, Yaoyao gave it to you?”

Speaking of the watch, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly remembered something.

He nodded, then took out the Rolex that Li Jianjun had given him from his pocket and stuffed it into Shen Kuo’s hands.

Shen Kuo was stunned.
