Xu Fan really wanted to make a phone call and clear things up with Guan Shanhai.

But knowing Guan Shanhai's explosive temper, Xu Fan figured he had to go see him in person.

After what he had done to his daughter...

Xu Fan couldn't help wanting to cry. Boss, couldn't you be more specific in what you said? What exactly had he done to her?

He had just gotten the truth from Zhou Keren, and suddenly another version popped up.

Xu Fan just felt a headache coming on. He tried hard to recall the events of that night, but at this moment his brain felt like it was about to explode, and he couldn't come up with any conclusion.

"Could it be I remembered wrong, and that night, it wasn't one woman, but two?"

"At the same time? One left and then another came?"

"Ah, what a hassle, it's simply a nuisance..."

Lost in chaotic thoughts and feeling bewildered, Xu Fan estimated that if he didn't go to Shimeng's house now to see Guan Shanhai, he might end up getting killed by him.

With no other choice, Xu Fan had to muster up the courage and leave the room.

Coming out of the bedroom, Xu Fan didn't know where Zhou Keren had gone. Shaking his head helplessly, he went downstairs.

He had dropped Shimeng home before. Remembering where she lived, Xu Fan hailed a taxi at the roadside and headed straight to Shimeng's house.

Just thinking about it made him feel awkward. Shimeng had just come of age, and he had already messed up...

Xu Fan rubbed his head. It wasn't hard to imagine that Guan Shanhai probably thought of him as one of those scoundrels who preyed on naive female students.

That was understandable. If he were Guan, anyone who would dare to breach his daughter's chastity at such a time, Xu Fan might have killed him too.

"Handsome, we've arrived."

Thinking about how to explain later, it wasn't long before Xu Fan arrived at Shimeng's house.

After paying the fare, Xu Fan, with a heart full of apprehension, approached the door.

Knock knock knock.

Standing at the door, after knocking, an aunt who looked to be about fifty years old quickly opened the door.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the confused look on her face, Xu Fan awkwardly grinned and said, "Hello, Auntie, I am Xu Fan, sent by Uncle Guan."

"Oh oh, Miss's classmate, right? Come in quickly, the master has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time."

Having confirmed his identity, the woman, who seemed to be Shimeng's housekeeper, waved her hand eagerly, signaling Xu Fan to come in quickly.

Xu Fan felt like crying. He was still pondering over those words, 'waiting for a long time.'

Heaven knows how much anger Shimeng's father had accumulated, ready to unleash it on him...

"Ah... Ah..."

Now that he was here, there was no logic in turning back halfway. Xu Fan awkwardly nodded and walked inside.

Led by the housekeeper, he quickly reached the living room.

Seemingly, Shimeng had already been confined by Guan Haishan; in the quiet living room, only a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa.

He was reading a newspaper from the Jinling area, bearing a slight resemblance to Mr. Guan. His square-jawed face, having been in the officialdom for years, spoke volumes of authority without him even saying a word.

"Hello Uncle, I am Xu Fan. Did, did you want to see me?"

Xu Fan approached Guan Shanhai feeling at a loss and greeted him.

"Sit."

Filled with immense anger towards Xu Fan, Guan Shanhai didn't even lift his eyelids as he seriously continued reading the newspaper, subtly spitting out a word.

"Ah."

His daughter had been compromised by him, so even if Guan Shanhai were to pick up a cudgel and hit him right then, Xu Fan wouldn't have felt right to retaliate.

Since he was asked to sit, he might as well sit.

After Guan Shanhai sat down across from him, the previously mentioned maid brewed a cup of tea and brought it over.

"Sir, please have some tea."

"Thank you, auntie."

Xu Fan did not show any disdain because she was a maid. After actively taking the tea, he thanked her.

Although this gesture was minute, Guan Shanhai, who was focused on reading the newspaper, slightly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xu Fan indifferently.

"..."

In the vast living room, only Xu Fan and Guan Shanhai were present. Guan Shanhai was silent, so Xu Fan also felt embarrassed to speak first.

Only the sound of Guan Shanhai flipping through the newspaper filled the room, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Xu Fan sat across from Guan Shanhai holding a cup of hot tea, feeling extremely uneasy.

Several times he almost could not resist speaking, but Xu Fan still held back.

After all, the man was Shimeng's father, and he should not be disrespectful to him.

He thought that once he finished reading the newspaper, it would be about time to speak up.

With this thought, Xu Fan became somewhat calmer.

Now savoring the tea delicately, he appeared quite composed and at ease.

Little did he know, as Xu Fan remained calm, Guan Shanhai, who was looking at the newspaper across from him, was getting somewhat anxious.

Originally, he had planned to ignore Xu Fan deliberately, making this young man fall into disarray. When the confrontation began, he could take the upper hand smoothly.

Unexpectedly, this guy had started to peacefully enjoy his tea.

"Hmph."

Remaining silent and enduring it together with Xu Fan, when Xu Fan finally finished the tea in his cup, Guan Shanhai could not hold back any longer.

This little rascal really knew how to keep himself busy, now seriously examining the tea cup in his hand.

Guan Shanhai cursed inwardly twice, then put down the newspaper.

"Uh, uncle, you don't look very well?"

This subtle action directly caused Guan Shanhai's face to turn livid, seeing this guy now innocently showing concern for him, Guan Shanhai nearly couldn't resist swearing at him for causing this frustration.

"Speak up, how do you plan to settle this matter with my daughter?"

"Hmph, she's only just turned eighteen, and you're letting her engage in such things, Xu Fan, you really are fearless, aren't you?"

Having waited so long, Guan Shanhai finally entered the main topic. Xu Fan, now looking at Guan Shanhai's stern face, began to feel a bit awkward.

Asking himself how he planned to resolve this, what should he say?

"You little rascal, can't you hear me speaking?"

Stammering for some time, Xu Fan hadn't thought of a perfect answer. Seeing Guan Shanhai glaring at him, Xu Fan gritted his teeth and decided to just let it all out.

"Uncle, it's all my fault, please don't blame Shimeng."

"It's already happened, and you can't change that. If you don't mind, once I graduate, I'll marry Shimeng."

Now that the cooked rice had become porridge, Xu Fan couldn't think of any other solution. Even if there were, he guessed Guan Shanhai would probably grab a stick and chase him out.

Xu Fan was a responsible man; since this had happened, he was determined to take responsibility to the end.

If Guan Shanhai did not oppose, after graduation, he would immediately marry Shimeng and would never regret it!

But now expressing his determination, Guan Shanhai actually started to laugh.

"Uh, uncle, you?"

Xu Fan was momentarily stunned. Was this really something to laugh about?
