"Dad, this is my boyfriend, Ye Chen." Su Binglan brought Ye Chen over and introduced him to Su Gangshan.

"Ye Chen." Su Gangshan wore a kind smile, looking approachable and friendly.

"Ye Chen, this is my dad, the Su Family Head, Su Gangshan!" Su Binglan, hugging her father's arm, winked at Ye Chen to quickly get into her father's good graces.

"Uncle, hello, I am Ye Chen." Ye Chen behaved very humbly, as a renowned lady-killer, he was really afraid the father-in-law would disapprove of him.

"Not bad!" Su Gangshan nodded, handed Ye Chen a glass of champagne, then put his arm around his shoulder. "Come, let's have a good chat, son. You've been with my daughter for several years now, I need to grill you properly!"

"Sure." Ye Chen smiled, seemingly quite at ease.

Su Gangshan was a top-notch Family Head, and Su Binglan's father, but Ye Chen didn't sense any arrogance from him – this was a man of seemingly simple but actual profound wisdom!

Ye Chen and Su Gangshan had not met before, but they got along very well.

In the midst of chit-chat, Su Gangshan and Ye Chen moved to a quiet corner, grabbed a couple of chairs, and sat down.

"I knew about you four years ago," Su Gangshan said smiling at Ye Chen, wisdom sparkling in his eyes. "Four years ago, Binglan came back from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and suddenly announced that she had a boyfriend. That surprised everyone in the Su Family, myself included!"

"So, I investigated your background, and the findings astonished me."

Su Gangshan and Ye Chen sat opposite each other, one recounting memories and the other listening with great interest.

"My daughter is the pearl of the Su Family, making her mark in the capital city, known as one of the Four Beauties, and even has a reputation as a witch."

"I've always worried, worried that my daughter is too outstanding, that no man would be worthy of her."

"The first time I investigated you, I found you had some credentials, so I didn't stop you two from being together."

"However, those credentials of yours were not enough to gain esteem in elite circles, so I didn't think highly of you at the beginning!"

Talking to his son-in-law, Su Gangshan was utterly frank, discussing both the good and the bad.

"During my time in the military, I was too young, didn't understand the ways of the world, knew only fighting and killing, making a fool of myself in front of you, uncle." Ye Chen occasionally smiled and joined in the conversation, proving to be an excellent listener.

"Don't be too modest now, I admit I underestimated you," Su Gangshan said with a smile. "Whether it's because you've advanced so quickly or because you've hidden your capabilities so well, everyone underestimated you!"

"The three ancestors of the Luo Family were well-established monsters; they set a death trap for you, yet not only did you survive, but you also killed two of them, leaving the Luo Family severely weakened and reduced from first-rate to third-rate!"

"That battle made your name known throughout the capital, and no one dared to underestimate you any longer!"

"From that point on, I knew that my daughter hadn't chosen the wrong man!"

"Now, you have soared to the top, becoming the best in the world, causing the ancient noble families to flee, and in the blink of an eye, you could destroy the elite clans; you truly stand at the peak of this world!"

"Your achievements today bring me great comfort!"

"My daughter is with you now, and I have no regrets. I hope you will treat her well!" Su Gangshan looked at Ye Chen and said earnestly.

Su Gangshan's words to Ye Chen were sincere and straightforward, making Ye Chen feel very comfortable.

"Uncle, rest assured, I will make her happy!" Ye Chen promised sincerely.

It wasn't easy for them to raise their daughter to this age, and Ye Chen himself would feel remorseful if he didn't make some guarantees to put the elderly at ease.

Ye Chen and Su Gangshan chatted and laughed nonstop. In his eyes, Su Gangshan was the number one father-in-law in Huaxia, as this esteemed father-in-law knew full well about his numerous women but didn't mention a single one, giving Ye Chen plenty of face.

"Binglan, you look so beautiful today!" Liu Shihua praised as she clung to Su Binglan.

"Shihua, you are the most beautiful!" Su Binglan responded with a dazzling smile.

Su Binglan was so happy today that she even smiled at her romantic rival.

"Binglan, look how happy your dad and Ye Chen are chatting!" Liu Shihua pointed toward the left front, where Ye Chen and Su Gangshan were laughing and talking.

"Hmm, the son-in-law and the father-in-law get along so well!" Su Binglan said with a light smile.

"That's right, they do get along well!" Liu Shihua nodded. "But you should also keep an eye on your dad, since Ye Chen is so handsome. Don't let your dad take a fancy to Ye Chen and elope with him halfway!"

"What?" Su Binglan doubted she heard correctly.

"I mean, it's fine for your dad and Ye Chen to get along, as long as they don't fall in love," Liu Shihua said cheekily, then took three big steps back, distancing herself from Su Binglan.

"Liu Shihua, you asshole!" Su Binglan exploded in rage.

This silly superstar, what nonsense was she thinking?

"Shihua, watch your language!" Zhang Xinlan stepped forward to scold her sternly, flicking her on her white forehead.

"Ouch, Xinlan, what are you doing? I was just joking with Binglan, why did you have to hit so hard? You've hurt me!" Liu Shihua whined, pouting her lips.

"Is that how you joke?" Su Binglan said fiercely. "Liu Shihua, you little vixen, if you don't get a spanking every three days, you're up to no good. Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"

"As if I'm afraid of you!" Liu Shihua retorted, clearly someone who resisted coercion but might be amenable to persuasion.

"..." Su Binglan's face stiffened. Was Liu Shihua here to stir up trouble?

"Liu Shihua, you're a celebrity, a public figure. Could you please mind the quality of what you say?" Zhang Xinlan reprimanded her severely.

"..."

Su Binglan, with a stiff face, went to mingle with friends from those high circles, finding Liu Shihua's comments vulgar. At such an upscale gathering, it was outrageous to speak about such crude matters. What if someone overheard?

"Li Yan, don't go!" Liu Shihua grabbed the anchorwoman, not letting her leave.

"I don't know you, let go of me now, or I'll call for help!" Li Yan gave her a cold glance, sounding very unfriendly.

There was no need to say why Liu Shihua was showing her worst behavior; it goes without saying that the superstar was jealous.

Of all the women around Ye Chen, the one who most wanted to marry him was probably the superstar Liu Shihua.

Liu Shihua longed for a fairy tale life. She wanted to be a happy princess and have Ye Chen as her Prince Charming.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Chen got engaged to Su Binglan, shattering Liu Shihua's fairy tale dream. She could hardly suppress her jealousy.

Therefore, Liu Shihua's foolish actions were explainable; the reason the superstar spoke with thorns and caused trouble was because she was jealous.
