Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 74

As an old saying went, the father knew his daughter best, looking at Shu Tian's expression at this time, Shu Changlei had already known that she might have seen Fan Ming. When their eyes met, both of them were tacit. After a long time, Shu Changlei finally compromised. "Come with me to the room."

...

Without Ye Lihua present, it was much easier for the father and daughter to speak without any scruples. After all, this incident was not honorable back then, which was a scar on the heart of the whole family. It took Ye Lihua a long time to accept it. They didn't want Ye Lihua to think about it again.

"Dad, you know Fan Ming, don't you?" Just like Shu Changlei knew her, she knew Shu Changlei very well. In her memory, her father had never been a person whose emotion fluctuated wildly, but just now, he couldn't even hold the glass steadily, which was obviously abnormal.

Shu Changlei didn't deny it. "Yes."

Shu Tian asked further, "Do you know that he was hired by Baoyou Group to be the chief legal adviser after he lost your lawsuit that year?"

When she asked this question, she was staring into Shu Changlei's eyes. She did not find any surprise or shock in his pair of experienced eyes.

So it meant that Shu Changlei had already known it.

Shu Changlei was silent for a few seconds and nodded. "I know."

"Dad, isn't that strange? Fan Ming used to be your lawyer and pursued the lawsuit against Baoyou Group which had sparked rumors back then. However, Baoyou Group hired him again. If there wasn't something fishy inside, Baoyou Group was shooting themselves in the foot!"

Shu Changlei frowned as if he didn't want to talk about the lawsuit. "These things are over. The lawsuit has already come to an end. It's useless for you to think too much now."

"Dad!" Shu Changlei's evasive attitude surprised Shu Tian and she looked at him in disbelief.

Shu Changlei didn't want to talk to her anymore and waved his hand. "Okay, you can go out if there's nothing else. I'll get changed. Don't interfere with it anymore."

"Why?"

"Leave the adult problems to the adults. It's none of your business." After that, Shu Changlei turned around and walked out of the room.

Shu Tian sat by the bed and did not move. After a long time, she stood up and stopped at the door. "Even if you don't want to tell me, I will definitely figure out what happened to this lawsuit at that time!"

When the door closed, Shu Changlei closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Everything that happened a few years ago flashed before his eyes, and his eyes were moist.

...

Before she came out of the house, Ye Lihua brought her a lot of food such as the sauce that Ye Lihua made herself. There was also a lot of daily necessities. Li Han just was out of work and came to pick her up outside the neighborhood.

When she got into the car, Shu Tian was not in a good mood. She was very depressed and sat in the passenger seat without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the car was a little abnormal. When waiting for the traffic light, Li Han looked at the beef sauce in the back seat and rarely took the initiative to find a topic. "Did your parents make it?"

Shu Tian was stunned for a few seconds before she realized his words and nodded. "Yes."

Afraid that she didn't get used to the food outside, her mother tried her best to bring her some home-made food. Thinking of this, Shu Tian's chest ached again.

Li Han noticed it but did not know how to comfort her. Afraid that he would bring up another topic that might make her more upset, he simply did not say anything and let her calm down first.

The car drove all the way to Imperial Garden. When they drove to the passing, Li Han suddenly caught a glimpse of a shop with a long line in front of it. It was a bakery.

He didn't have a sweet tooth so he didn't know anything about deserts. Shu Tian, however, liked sweets very much.

Looking ahead of the road, the man turned on the left turn signal and parked the car on the side of the road. As he unbuckled his seat belt, he said to her, "I'm going to buy something."

Shu Tian didn't think much. "You go."

After getting out of the car, Li Han walked to the end of the line with his wallet in his hand. He was dressed in a formal suit and had an unusual aura, which immediately attracted a lot of attention from customers, especially those of women.

There were even a few young girls whispering, "Wow, look at that man at the back. He's so handsome. Is he a star?"
