Chapter 833: Thoughts Between Father and Daughter
Song Tianba was naturally furious. There were nine people from Chu Group: five women including Du Xueqi, plus Qiu Wen, Shen Yaqing, Mengyao, and Ye Fan. It would be strange if Song Tianba didn’t know about this situation.But Song Meimei said she wanted to find a son-in-law for him. Wasn’t this the most ridiculous thing?
Among the nine people, could it be that among the eight women, there was someone whom his daughter fancied?
As for Ye Fan, Song Tianba hadn’t even considered him. He didn’t believe his daughter would know Ye Fan.
So there was this suspicion that perhaps his daughter preferred women.
"Father, how can you say that about me? My sexual orientation is very normal!" Song Meimei retorted bitterly, feeling embarrassed to say such things in front of her father but had no choice now.
"Dare to argue back? Then tell me, who have you set your eyes on?" Song Tianba impatiently demanded, eager to unveil the lies layer by layer.
"It’s Ye Fan, of course." Song Meimei responded naturally.
"What?" Song Tianba suddenly stood up, losing all the majesty of being the Patriarch of the Song Family, looking utterly surprised as his eyes widened.
He pointed at Song Meimei and shouted, "What did you say?"
"I meant to say, the son-in-law I’m finding for you is Ye Fan." Song Meimei explained somewhat puzzled, unable to understand her father’s reaction no matter how hard she tried.
"Xiaomei, do not be foolish. What qualification do you have to know Ye Fan?" Song Tianba questioned sternly.
"Dad, why are you being so serious? It’s just knowing someone; what’s the big deal? And what qualifications?" Song Meimei replied, confused, "Dad, are you alright? Why are you saying this?"
Chu Group’s rise, the role Ye Fan played in it is unknown to Song Meimei, but industry giants like Song Tianba know better than anyone else. Facing provocations from various forces, Ye Fan decisively fought back, making Chu Group become something of a taboo, causing many forces to feel reverence.
Not to mention Ye Fan being ranked first by Sky Net. Just this information reassures Song Tianba that it’s unlikely his daughter could know such a person.
Plus, wanting such a person as a son-in-law, as the son-in-law of Song Family, how could Song Tianba not be shocked?
Song Tianba stared at his daughter, his expression constantly changing, thinking, "How can you be so fanciful? Who doesn’t know Ye Fan and President Chu are a recognized couple? Are you not afraid that Ye Fan would slaughter you on a whim if you tried to come between them? Is your arrogance due to ignorance or is it youthful daring? Competing with President Chu over a man, are you up to it? If you can compete for Ye Fan’s attention, that’d be a massive stroke of luck, wouldn’t it?"
He gazed intensely at his daughter, for a moment considering many things, naturally having many uncertainties, the most incomprehensible being his daughter’s seemingly good relations with Chu Group, which puzzled him the most.
"Dad, why are you staring at me like that? It’s making me feel scared." Song Meimei said weakly.
Song Tianba’s expression softened slightly as he inquired, "How did you get to know people from Chu Group? And how did you come to know Ye Fan? Tell me everything, word for word. This is very important."
"Didn’t I work as a flight attendant? At that time, Ye Fan saved me from the gunpoint. I thought I’d never see him again. Who knew, when I was guest teaching, I saw him once more. The third time was at the Li Family’s banquet." Song Meimei concisely explained, seeing her father’s seriousness, she couldn’t possibly hide the truth.
Song Tianba’s face was deeply contemplative, neither joyful nor sorrowful. After a long while, he sighed, "You’ve always been reckless, and we’ve always indulged you. I didn’t expect you to know such an influential figure."
"Influential figure? What kind of influential figure?" Song Meimei asked, eyes full of curiosity.
"There are some things it’s best you don’t know," Song Tianba stated seriously. "But remember my words: Don’t associate with Chu Group anymore. Ye Fan is not someone you can think about. There’s absolutely no possibility between you two."
"Dad, why do you say that? I haven’t met a man as charming as Ye Fan before, why shouldn’t I pursue him?" Song Meimei pouted, feeling wronged.
Song Tianba spoke earnestly, "It’s precisely because Ye Fan is too exceptional, that’s why he’s not in the same world as you. There’s not even a slightest chance between you two. Not to mention Ye Fan and President Chu are already engaged. Even if Ye Fan were truly unattached, you couldn’t possibly have any connection with him."
"Dad, I know many big shots harbor resentment and disdain towards Chu Group’s strong rise, including our Song Family. But you shouldn’t stop your daughter from doing this or that. If I don’t have this bit of autonomy, am I still the daughter of the Song Family?" Song Meimei pleaded pitifully, "I know Ye Fan and Mengyao’s love is unbreakable, but I’m just persistent. Until the last moment, I absolutely won’t give up."
"Alas, why don’t you understand your father’s concerns?" Song Tianba’s worries starkly contrasted his daughter’s thoughts as he advised earnestly, "Technically speaking, I shouldn’t interfere since you’re close to Chu Group and know Ye Fan. But I have my reasons: apart from potential business conflicts between Song Family and Chu Group, my biggest concern is fearing for your safety."
Emotional harm is minor; everyone knows Ye Fan is a ruthless killer. If the daughter acts impulsive or oversteps boundaries, what happens if she falls victim to Ye Fan’s ruthlessness?
He has only this precious daughter, couldn’t bear to lose her.
Would Ye Fan show compassion?
From what he knew, he wouldn’t.
"Dad, your daughter is grown up now; she can make her own decisions regarding some things. I appreciate your kind intentions, but I still know what should be done." Song Meimei persisted, "Dad, you should rest early. Your daughter will take her leave."
Song Tianba watched his daughter disappear from view, his body seemingly frozen in place, unmoving.
"Daughter, do you even know who Ye Fan really is? If you understood, you’d know the gap between you two, as well as realize what I mean by not being the same kind of people. You’re still young, some things are beyond you now. If you want to trot after Ye Fan, follow your whims. When you get hurt, you’ll realize when to retreat. You likely don’t grasp Ye Fan’s identity and can interact more naturally because of it." Song Tianba muttered meaningfully.
Meanwhile, in the Galaxy Hotel lobby, Ma Huifang came to confess to Chu Group.
