Chapter 105: Chapter 105 This Girl is Lively (Request for Monthly Tickets!)
Chen Yan felt a slight sting in his nose.
Ever since he was young, probably because he was always acting up, Lao Chen would always present a stern face in front of him. Apologies were unheard of, and even smiles were rare.
As they grew older, their relationship became even more strained due to conflicts about video games.
Their conversations always carried a tone of hostility.
But today, Lao Chen actually apologized to him for the first time...
He looked at Lao Chen.
Somehow, Lao Chen’s temples had turned gray, and wrinkles had formed on his face...
The father who had always been so dominant in his heart had, without even realizing it, grown old.
Chen Yan held back the sourness in his heart and said, "No. I was at fault too. I’ve been too stubborn since childhood, always disobedient. That’s why you and Mom were always so worried about me."
Hearing Chen Yan say this,
Lao Chen seemed to recall Chen Yan’s past actions and snorted with residual anger, "Good that you know!"
Seeing the "true nature" that Lao Chen finally revealed, Chen Yan couldn’t help laughing.
The hearts of parents are a miserable thing. Which parents don’t wish for their children’s well-being?
They are a piece of their own heart...
Sometimes, the conflicts and disputes between them are just some misunderstandings, or perhaps just excessive expectations...
Once they started talking, they became more open. Although they were not immediately harmonious, at least they were no longer in the state of "you want to slap my face" and "I want to educate you"...
And Lao Chen finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask, "By the way, son. What’s the deal with you and that... um, the female celebrity, what’s her name?"
Chen Yan replied indifferently, "Just a professional relationship."
Lao Chen grunted and paused.
Just when Chen Yan couldn’t understand why Lao Chen was asking this, Lao Chen looked up again and said, "And what about that girl last time, Yu Qiao Qiao?"
"You haven’t wronged her, have you?"
Hearing his father’s words,
Chen Yan was exasperated and replied directly, "What wronged or not wronged? Lu Man and I really just have a professional relationship."
Lao Chen coughed, "A professional relationship means acting as lovers?"
"I’ve seen photos from your Uncle Liu, you two seemed quite close."
Chen Yan massaged his forehead.
"Dad, in that game, Qiao Qiao also acted and our relationship was that of lovers as well."
Lao Chen furrowed his brows deeply, "Are you playing two sides?!"
Chen Yan quickly waved his hands, "What are you talking about?"
He explained, "That game, based on the player’s choices, can lead to different endings, so there can be multiple female leads."
"Oh...." Lao Chen didn’t quite understand, but at least he knew that his son had not wronged the girl named Yu Qiao Qiao.
He was relieved...
He still vividly remembered the girl called Qiao Qiao who had helped his son so much in the early days of his startup.
She had provided both money and a car. She was just short of providing a house.
If his son had let her down, he, as a father, would really have lost face...
Having understood what he most wanted to know, Lao Chen felt a lightness throughout his body. He got up and said, "Alright. I’ve got nothing else. Just came to see you. I’m heading home now."
After finishing, he looked at Chen Yan and said, "If you are ever short of money, just tell Dad. I have money here."
"Now that you have your own career, Dad will definitely support you!"
Chen Yan smiled and replied, "Okay. Dad."
However, Chen Yan didn’t really take it to heart...
How much could his family possibly have? Even if they sold the house, they’d only be able to invest what would last Lu Man about three or four months. Better not to touch his savings...
Chatting and laughing, they saw Lao Chen downstairs. When it was time to part, Lao Chen had just walked a few steps when he turned back and warned, "Son, I’m telling you, don’t spend your money carelessly. And don’t put it into fixed deposits or financial management."
"Save up and buy a house."
"A house is what retains value."
"Over the years, whenever I have had money, I..."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "I already bought a house."
Lao Chen was interrupted mid-sentence and stared in surprise, "You bought a house?"
Chen Yan nodded, "I bought one in Golden Garden."
Lao Chen froze, "Golden Garden?!"
Golden Garden was the name of the villa complex where Chen Yan’s villa was located, and was one of the most expensive villa areas nearby. Any villa there cost tens of millions.
Being a local, Lao Chen certainly knew this information.
He looked Chen Yan up and down in astonishment and asked, "Just how much money have you made?"
Now it was Chen Yan’s turn to be puzzled, "Don’t you know?"
Lao Chen shook his head, "No, I only heard from your Uncle Liu that your game was doing quite well, maybe earning about four to five million."
Chen Yan paused for a moment, then couldn’t help laughing, "That’s too little. Multiply it by five."
"Five times...?" Lao Chen did the math, then gasped in shock, bewildered.
More than twenty million?!
He looked at Chen Yan in astonishment, "Does making games earn so much money?"
Chen Yan just smiled, "Not really."
Lao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yan added, "Mainly because your son is capable, and the games he creates are good."
Lao Chen: .....
This narcissism must have come from his mother.
Looking at Chen Yan seriously again, Lao Chen suddenly felt like his son was so unfamiliar it was as if he didn’t even know him.
He really had grown up...
Unknowingly, he was carrying the whole sky.
Though internally happy for Chen Yan, Lao Chen couldn’t help feeling a slight sadness.
He had grown old...
With a slight sigh, Lao Chen’s gaze towards Chen Yan softened.
He patted Chen Yan’s shoulder heavily, proudly stating, "Good job!"
He paused.
It suddenly seemed like he had come to a realization, stating, "You outdid your father!"
"Well done!"
"I’m proud of you!"
Chen Yan couldn’t help but laugh...
Just as the father and son were becoming closer, suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from not far away, "Eh? Chen Yan? You’re here."
Chen Yan and Lao Chen followed the voice and then saw a scarlet Porsche parked by the roadside.
A woman dressed in a leather jacket and pants, tall and sexy, even her sunglasses couldn’t hide her beauty, was leaning on the car door, looking their way.
Lao Chen, a bit face-blind, couldn’t recognize who it was. He only felt that the girl was very lively and had a great aura.
He looked at his son.
But Chen Yan was a bit embarrassed. He first introduced her to his father, "This is Lu Man. That is... the female celebrity you mentioned earlier."
Upon hearing this, Lao Chen’s gaze sharpened.
This was his son’s "new darling"?
He scrutinized Lu Man.
Hmm. Too lively. Doesn’t seem like a girl who would settle down.
Not as likable as Qiao Qiao.
While Lao Chen was lost in thought, Chen Yan greeted Lu Man, "Lu Man. Are you here to return Qiao Qiao’s car?"
Lu Man nodded. She locked the car door, then walked over with her long legs, "Yes. I mentioned it yesterday that I’d return the car. I asked Qiao Qiao this morning, and she asked me to leave it at the company. So I drove it over."
After speaking, she paused in front of Lao Chen and asked, "And this gentleman is...?"
Chen Yan replied, "Oh, this is my father."
Upon hearing this, Lu Man looked at Lao Chen in surprise, then quickly took off her sunglasses and bowed slightly, greeting, "Hello, Uncle."
