Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 116: A Golden Catch (2)

"Ol— bah, no— Hello, Uncle. I’m Qi Sheng, Huahua’s boyfriend."

"I heard Grandma is sick, so I took the liberty of coming to visit. I hope you don’t mind."

Qi Sheng was nothing if not polite, and he took the initiative to shake Tan Yuheng’s hand.

"Hmph. It is quite forward of you."

Tan Yuheng snorted, looking displeased.

"Dad~"

Tan Hua immediately shot him a look of disapproval.

She was worried Qi Sheng would be upset and make things awkward for everyone.

"Tan Yuheng, what kind of attitude is that?"

Grandma Tan’s expression darkened. She scolded him disapprovingly, "This is Ah Sheng’s first visit. You absolutely cannot be so rude to him. I never taught you to behave this way."

"You’re right, Mom. It was my fault. Ah Sheng, please don’t mind me. I’m just having a hard time adjusting to my daughter suddenly having a boyfriend."

Tan Yuheng wasn’t a complete fool. He took the opportunity to gracefully back down and began chatting warmly with Qi Sheng.

After all, while people might give a poor son-in-law a hard time, who would ever do the same to a wealthy one?

What’s more, before they were even married, Qi Sheng had already put his daughter’s name on the deed of a 12-million-yuan mansion.

Not long ago, his daughter had come home wearing a watch worth over a million and driving a Porsche Cayenne.

Her clothes and jewelry were all from major luxury brands.

Frankly, for their family to land a son-in-law like Qi Sheng, their ancestors must have been smiling down on them.

Qi Sheng, for his part, understood Mr. Tan. All fathers were like this.

What father wouldn’t feel a pang of jealousy seeing the precious daughter he’d worked so hard to raise get swept away by another man?

"Dad, you two can stop chatting. Let’s eat while the food is hot."

Tan Hua first took out Grandma’s light lunch.

Then she took out her own meal and handed a pair of chopsticks to Qi Sheng.

"Try it and see if you like it. You must be starving since you didn’t eat on the way here."

"AHEM. Huahua, what about my meal?"

Seeing his daughter had eyes only for her beau, Tan Yuheng felt his heart overflow with jealousy. "And my food?" he asked, his tone dripping with sourness.

"Ah?"

Tan Hua stuck out her tongue, taking out another boxed lunch with a look of embarrassment.

"Dad, this one is yours."

"Good, you’ve still got a conscience. Your mother doesn’t have much of an appetite, so you can have the extra one."

Tan Yuheng doted on his precious daughter; he couldn’t bear the thought of her going without a meal.

He was planning to text his wife, who was out buying fruit, and ask her to pick up another boxed lunch on her way back.

"Really?"

Tan Hua’s face lit up, and she quickly unwrapped the last meal.

She portioned out all the meat and rice for Qi Sheng, leaving only the vegetables for herself.

"She’s not even married, and she’s already taking his side."

The old father, Tan Yuheng, felt his heart ache with bitterness.

He had never seen his daughter be so attentive to him.

Tan Hua knew very well what a big appetite Qi Sheng had.

Watching him eat always whetted her own appetite.

Qi Sheng didn’t hold back, devouring every last bite of the boxed lunch filled with Tan Hua’s affection.

"A good appetite is a sign of good fortune. This boy, Ah Sheng, is sure to be blessed in the future!"

Grandma Tan watched with delight, her heart filled with emotion.

’Her own little girl was finally at the age of marriage.’

She thought about how good-looking both Qi Sheng and Tan Hua were.

’Their future children would be absolutely adorable, wouldn’t they? I’d love them to death!’

Just the thought of it made Grandma Tan break into a wide grin, revealing her neat teeth.

If she hadn’t accidentally fallen this time, given her otherwise good health, Grandma Tan wouldn’t have been in the hospital for so long.

But at her age, a fall was a serious matter.

Tan Yuheng was worried and insisted that she stay in the hospital for a few days of observation before he would allow her to be discharged.

Even Tan Hua, who was working in Chengdu, had dropped everything, not caring about her meager salary, the moment she heard the news and rushed back immediately.

When Mrs. Tan returned, she was greeted by the sight of a very "harmonious" trio.

Her daughter was peeling an apple, with slices for Grandma and her boyfriend.

Only her father was left out, with no apple to eat.

Obviously, Tan Hua was still angry at her father.

Thankfully, Qi Sheng was magnanimous, and Grandma Tan was quick-witted.

Otherwise, Qi Sheng would have been met with a cold reception on his very first visit.

’How could I ever face Qi Sheng’s parents in the future?’

"My dear daughter, Daddy knows he was wrong. How about peeling an apple for me, too?"

Tan Yuheng gave his precious daughter a placating look.

He hadn’t expected his daughter to get so angry, and he was filled with regret.

"This must be Qi Sheng, right?"
