"..."

Xu Fan curled his lips and said nothing, thinking to himself, "You're acting all high and mighty now, does your wife know about this?"

The two men glared at each other in the living room downstairs, and after a short wait, they saw Guan's mother coming down the stairs with Shimeng.

In just that brief moment, Guan Shanhai had grown impatient. Upon seeing the two descending, he hurriedly went to greet them.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Guan Shanhai asked anxiously. Guan's mother shook her head and hummed, "It's all a misunderstanding; look what a fuss you've caused."

This kind of thing was indeed a taboo topic for women; now that it turned out to be a misunderstanding, it seemed to be resolved, but who knows what Shimeng would think.

Guan Shanhai, understanding as he was, now looked guiltily toward Shimeng.

"Daughter, don't blame your dad. Wasn't he just worried about you being bullied by bad people..."

"Dad, I get it," she replied.

"Well then, since there's nothing else, Shimeng, I'll head back first, huh."

As the Guan Family of three were chatting, it would be silly not to leave now. Xu Fan chuckled and prepared to sneak away.

"You little rascal! Stop right there!"

Just as he took a step, Guan Shanhai, with a stern face, came walking towards him.

Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Could it be that Shimeng's dad has taken up long-distance running?"

"Um, Uncle, are you planning to continue this?"

Xu Fan said, giving Guan's mother a meaningful glance on the side.

If you keep up the mischief, you're going to end up sleeping on the couch tonight.

"Hmph, you little rascal, don't think this will just blow over. We're not leaving until things are made clear today," Guan Shanhai retorted.

Xu Fan's reminder seemed effective as Guan Shanhai, though not very polite, was quite proper in his gestures.

Xu Fan scratched his head in confusion.

"Uncle, hasn't it already been confirmed as a misunderstanding? What..."

As Xu Fan spoke, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, remembering that Guan Shanhai did have a reason for calling him here today.

It was just a misunderstanding that had caused all this commotion.

"Hmph, let's sit down and talk. It looks bad for me to keep chasing you around—it seems like I'm bullying the young."

At this point, Xu Fan looked at Guan Shanhai, who pointed to a nearby sofa.

Xu Fan gave Guan Shanhai a quizzical look, thinking how thick-skinned he was, not even remembering who had just chased him around until he was as tired as a dead dog...

"Alright, Uncle, spit it out. What's going on?"

Muttering to himself, Xu Fan asked.

Truth be told, he was quite curious about why Guan Shanhai had called him over today.

"Hmph, boy, tell me, why did you get my daughter into that live streaming thing?"

"Ah?"

After the two sat down, Guan Shanhai revealed his reason for calling Xu Fan over. Listening, Xu Fan raised his eyebrows and involuntarily glanced at Shimeng.

Logically, not many people should know about Shimeng's streaming; how could it have reached her parents so quickly...

"Hehe, Uncle, I didn't realize you were into this sort of thing..."

Xu Fan laughed and chuckled, guessing that maybe Guan Shanhai, having nothing better to do, liked watching some female streamers dance and had accidentally come across his daughter.

"You little rascal! Do you think this is funny?"

At that moment, Guan Shanhai angrily threw the newspaper on the table at Xu Fan.

"This..."

Seeing the content of the newspaper, Xu Fan instantly understood why Guan Shanhai had discovered this matter.

The issue between Brother Yi and the Black Hat Detective Agency had actually made the news, and Guan Shanhai, who had the habit of reading the newspaper daily, would certainly discover Shimeng.

"Hmph, kid, why are you silent now?"

Guan Shanhai coldly laughed, looking over at him. Xu Fan guessed that Guan Shanhai had probably gotten the whole story from Shimeng by now.

As for how to explain this matter to Shimeng's parents, Xu Fan really hadn't thought it through yet.

"Hmph, Xu Fan, do you think the Guan Family would lack a few tens of thousands in salary from an anchor every month?"

Being a rising industry, Guan Shanhai knew that a broadcaster could have a high income, but to let his daughter take up this work for just tens of thousands, Guan Shanhai absolutely wouldn't allow it.

"Shimeng is my only daughter. I have cherished her like a treasure ever since she was little, never letting her suffer the slightest grievance. I really didn't expect you, you rascal, to encourage her to do such a thing!"

"Xu Fan, if it were not for the fact that you once saved my father's life, today, it wouldn't just be a simple call over here."

"What is an anchor? That's just an actor! You let my daughter do such things, where do you put my face?"

Guan Shanhai aggressively questioned him at this moment, and Xu Fan couldn't help but fall silent.

Indeed, Guan Shanhai's old-fashioned character was exactly as Shimeng had previously described to him.

Seeing that Guan Shanhai was getting more and more worked up as he scolded, Xu Fan smiled and then spoke.

"Uncle, are you done?"

"What? You still dare to talk back?"

Having just chased after Xu Fan, Guan Shanhai was nearly exhausted. He felt relieved as he was scolding Xu Fan, and seeing that he still dared to speak, Guan Shanhai couldn't help but laugh coldly.

Xu Fan smiled and then said, "Uncle, I just want to ask you one question, do you love your daughter?"

"Nonsense! Shimeng is my only daughter, what do you think?"

Guan Shanhai didn't even think before he directly responded.

Xu Fan listened and then scoffed.

"Uncle, do you really think that's the case? From what I see, in this whole world, the person who loves her the least is you, you old pedant."

"You! Rascal!"

Guan Shanhai hadn't expected Xu Fan to talk back at this moment, calling him an old pedant. At this, he got so angry that he stood up, ready to take action.

Xu Fan smiled and then said, "Uncle, don't be so angry. Since you love your daughter so much, then tell me, what does she like?"

"This, this..."

Xu Fan's question really stumped Guan Shanhai. He was so busy with his work usually that he really didn't know much about his daughter's preferences...

Scratching his head and struggling for a while, he finally spoke.

"I am her father; how could I not know?"

"My daughter likes studying, doesn't she? If she didn't like studying, could she have scored so high in school?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Guan Shanhai's answer, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The louder the laughter, the redder Guan Shanhai's face became; he usually cared only about Shimeng's grades.

Beyond that, he really didn't know anything else.

"I love studying. Studying makes me happy?"

At that moment, Xu Fan said coldly, "Uncle, this so-called love of yours could actually drive a person to death."
