Bab 64: Marry Su Zhiming

Li Yuyan had brought Su Zhiming home.

"Mom! Dad!" Li Huiran showed up at the stairs first and Bai Jiawei followed. Li Yuyan had told Li Huiran about her plan and her mother had agreed, so Li Huiran wasn't very surprised to see Su Zhiming.

Meanwhile, Bai Jiawei had frozen at the top of the stairs with a grave expression.

"Zhiming is here!" Li Huiran walked down the stairs quickly and pulled Li Yuyan and Su Zhiming into the living room. Although Li Huiran wasn't extremely happy with Li Yuyan's choice either, she also thought that her daughter's idea was pretty good.

Instead of dating the son of a rich family, it was more safe to date a normal person that had potential. Plus, Li Yuyan technically wasn't related to the "He" family in any way. To outsiders, she wasn't going to inherit anything from the He Corporation.

Therefore, it was unlikely for a rich family to let their son marry Li Yuyan anyway, so Su Zhiming was their best choice at the moment.

Bai Jiawei slowly walked down the stairs one step at a time, and his expression turned more and more ugly the closer he got.

Su Zhiming gulped and squeezed out a smile, "Auntie Li, I bought some gifts for this visit. Please accept them."

"Oh, you didn't have to," Li Huiran smiled and politely received the bags.

Bai Jiawei had reached the first floor as he crossed his arms and said, "You didn't have to. It's not like we can't buy those ourselves."

". . ." There was an awkward silence after Bai Jiawei spoke until Li Huiran broke it by laughing. She walked over to Bai Jiawei and lightly bumped him on the shoulder.

"Jiawei, it's okay. Even if you don't like him, at least give our Yuyan some face. It's her guest, after all."

Bai Jiawei frowned but didn't say anything as he walked over to the couch and sat down. The three of them followed.

"Why did you bring this guy home?" Bai Jiawei asked Li Yuyan with an unhappy expression.

Li Yuyan quickly ran over and sat down next to her daddy, gently massaging his back, "Dad, don't treat Zhiming like that. I really like him. Plus, his company is growing. He earned 700 thousand last month."

Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow. To be honest, 700 thousand wasn't that bad, but it still couldn't compare to the He Corporation. He wanted Li Yuyan to marry a family that would help them, not a family they would have to assist.

"What are you trying to get to?"

Li Yuyan blushed, "Dad, I want to marry Su Zhiming."

Bai Jiawei jumped up from the couch, "Nonsense! Marry now? Marry him?!"

Su Zhiming's face turned slightly green after hearing Bai Jiawei's words.

"Dad! I'm 24 already, it's time to get married!"

"Well, definitely not with that guy!"

"I'm not marrying anyone else, especially those ugly, fat, and playboy guys from the rich families!"

Although there was a stereotype that the sons of rich and powerful families were handsome, it wasn't always true. In fact, most of the time, it wasn't true.

Most of the sons of rich families didn't work hard and many of them drank and partied often. Most had a large and fat stomach at a young age, and few of them actually looked handsome. Besides that, they also played around with girls often and Li Yuyan definitely didn't want to marry one of them.

"Yuyan, not all boys are like that! Don't worry, daddy will find you a good man from a good family that will be ten times better than Su Zhiming."

Of course Li Yuyan didn't believe Bai Jiawei, "Dad! Trust me, Zhiming probably has more potential than all those men. His company is already growing and I heard that he is working on a current project that will make millions of dollars."

Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow, "Really?"

"Yes, sir. The estimated revenue is 3.2 million dollars."

Bai Jiawei slightly wavered but he kept his stance, "Yuyan, I can find you a man that will make 3.2 million dollars weekly. Listen to me, you will regret it."

*helemon's note: Ch! Our male lead, Mr. Gu Yechen, makes over 10 million dollars a day!

Li Yuyan shook her head, "Dad, do you want your daughter to be happy or not! I love Su Zhiming and only him! He will treat me so much better than those gross playboys out there!"

Bai Jiawei was about to respond when he heard a voice from the hallway say, "Well, it's quite lively today!"

The sound of high heels clicking against the marble floor grew louder and louder until a figure appeared at the end of the hallway. He Xinyan walked in confidently with an amused smile. She hadn't removed her makeup from the shoot, so her hair was curled at the ends and her lips were colored with a bold red lipstick.

Li Yuyan frowned as Su Zhiming turned around to see who it was. A quick sparkle flashed past his eyes when he saw He Xinyan. She seemed to have become more beautiful.

He Xinyan crossed her arms together and casually threw her handbag onto the table nearby before walking over and sitting down to the other side of Bai Jiawei.

"What's going on?" She asked as she swung her hair to her back, which was extremely seductive in Su Zhiming's eyes.

"Yanyan, help me persuade your stupid sister! She wants to marry Su Zhiming!" Bai Jiawei said which made Li Yuyan frustrated.

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow and smirked, "Why is that a problem? She can marry who she wants."

Su Zhiming immediately slouched back down upon hearing He Xinyan's response. He was unconsciously looking forward to He Xinyan getting mad or upset about him and Li Yuyan getting married.

"What does that mean?! Yanyan, you can't follow Yuyan's footsteps! We are a high-class family. I am fine with you two marrying who you like, but they should come from a family like us! Although it is unfortunate, your marriages should be able to help the He family and the He Corporation."

Li Yuyan pouted, "But Zhiming can help! I know, dad. He isn't rich yet, but doesn't everyone start at some place. Zhiming is very talented and his company is already growing! Right, Zhiming?"

Su Zhiming didn't seem to hear what Li Yuyan was saying as he stared at He Xinyan. How did he not realize? He had never really seen He Xinyan with makeup on, and he always thought that Xinyan would look better with a soft and natural makeup that matched her personality.

However, the hot and smokey makeup today really enhanced her features and made her look even more attractive. In the past, he had thought that Li Yuyan was more sexy and attractive as a woman because of her heavy makeup and daring outfits. Now, he wondered if he was blind? It was obvious that even without makeup on, He Xinyan was much prettier than Li Yu -

"Zhiming?!" Li Yuyan asked again with a frown.

"Yes?" Su Zhiming quickly broke out of his stupor and turned to look at Li Yuyan, who pouted.

"Tell my dad about your company."

"Sir, please believe in me. My company is growing really well, and the revenue is very steady. I believe that by the end of this year, Newstart Entertainment will be in the top 100 entertainment companies of Country Z."

He Xinyan smiled slyly. The revenue was steady? She was still waiting for her money. . . Maybe it won't be so steady anymore after she got her payment.

Bai Jiawei scoffed, "Top 100? Top 10 would be more acceptable."

"Dad, everyone has to start right. It takes time, but if we help him, it will be able to grow even faster. Maybe with our help, Newstart Entertainment will be able to be in the top 10 by the end of this year! Wouldn't it be nice in the future with people complimenting you for having a good eye for people and finding a hidden treasure!"

Bai Jiawei thought about it and looked forward to a moment like that, but he didn't want to risk it. What if Su Zhiming failed? Then, people would be talking behind his back about how he didn't have a good son-in-law and all things bad about her and Li Yuyan.

"Still, at least wait until he is actually successful before talking about marriage. Why should a family like us let you marry a man that is poor and powerless right now?"

He Xinyan knit her eyebrows together before raising one hand casually, "Can I say something?"
