Chapter 14: I Even Doubt You’re My Father’s Illegitimate Child

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

However, after seeing Chen Baijia’s daughter, his original imagination was completely overturned. It turned out that she was similar to ordinary children. She would yawn in a daze and complain.

Chen Youlu was yawning sleepily. When she saw that there were guests in the small living room, she hurriedly got up from the stairs.

“Dad, who is he?” Chen Youlu walked over. She took out a hair tie from somewhere and tied it into a clean high ponytail. She didn’t forget to sneak a few glances at Chen Chu, feeling a little curious.

In the past, the guests his father had invited to his house were all old men in their forties or fifties. The youngest was also in his early thirties. Now, this guest? One look and she could tell that he was a student. Did her father have such a wide range of friends? Could they chat? Wouldn’t this guest be frightened by her father?

Her best friend from university had also come to the house before. She did not dare to make a sound in front of her father and was laughed at by her for a long time.

…

“Come here, this is Chen Chu. He’s only in his second year of high school this year. Get to know him.” Chen Baijia lowered his head and drank his tea, but he was paying attention to the two of them from the corner of his eye.

He was no longer satisfied with the uncle-nephew relationship. Just the unlocking of the uncle-nephew relationship alone had such a crazy reward. What if his daughter and Chen Chu became a couple, and he became Chen Chu’s future father-in-law? What if he really became Chen Chu’s father-in-law?

However, it was still too early to get married. Chen Chu was only 16 years old and was still far from the legal age of marriage.

Chen Chu stood up and greeted her obediently, “Sister Youlu.”

Chen Youlu sized up Chen Chu and said, “Mm, then I’ll call you Chen Chu.”

“Alright, the two of you haven’t eaten yet. Go down and eat. Youlu, accompany Chen Chu to walk around the house after dinner. It’s Chen Chu’s first time here.”

“Oh, okay.” Chen Youlu nodded obediently.

“Uncle Chen, aren’t you going to eat some?” Chen Chu asked.

Chen Baijia did not raise his head. He waved his hand and said, “I’m full. You guys can eat by yourselves.”

Chen Chu could only follow Chen Youlu down awkwardly. He actually did not want to go down with Chen Youlu, nor did he need her to bring him around. It was too awkward. They weren’t familiar with each other, and it was very likely that they wouldn’t interact with each other again after leaving this door. It was so awkward that it made one’s scalp tingle.

Uncomfortable.

If it really didn’t work out, Chen Chu could go to the beach alone to play with the sand.

Just as Chen Chu was thinking about something, Chen Youlu deliberately slowed down and waited for him to walk side by side. “Chen Chu, how did you meet my father? I feel that my father treats you quite specially. Except for my dad’s friends, no one else came. My dad didn’t make tea for them either. It’s all Sister Lin’s doing. By the way, Sister Lin is a tea artist we hired.”

Chen Chu was puzzled by Chen Youlu’s curiosity. Was there? Chen Baijia’s attitude towards me wasn’t strange, right? He’s older than me and I’m younger than him. Aren’t we getting along just fine? Besides, wasn’t it normal for the host to make tea when a guest was here?

“Really?” Chen Chu scratched his head.

“You haven’t told me how you and my dad met.”

The two of them had already gone downstairs and crossed the hall to the dining room. Chen Chu looked at the decorations curiously and replied, “We met when Uncle Chen visited our school a few days ago.”

Chen Youlu immediately stopped and looked at him in disbelief. “Wait, tell me in detail. How many days have you known each other?”

Chen Chu thought for a moment. “Including today, three days?”

Chen Youlu slapped her forehead. “Three days. Oh my god!”

Chen Youlu felt strange. At the same time, she stared at Chen Chu curiously. She could not imagine that her serious and dignified father would invite someone he had known for less than three days to his house.

This person was still a student, and he had personally brewed tea for the first time in history. Previously, when he invited the executives of the corporation to his house as guests, he did not make tea.

Chen Youlu still did not know how Chen Chu evaluated the tea leaves.

If she knew that Chen Chu had only said that it was delicious when Chen Baijia had specially taken out his precious tea leaves to personally make tea, and the fact that Chen Baijia did not even turn hostile and even let Chen Chu have breakfast, she would probably be stunned for a while.

“If I didn’t know that my father has always been clean and honest, I would have suspected that you’re my father’s illegitimate son,” Chen Youlu said.

Chen Chu smiled politely and awkwardly. Was it really a good idea to criticize her father like that?

The dining room was very big. It was even twice the size of Chen Chu’s house. In the middle was an exquisite and luxurious Western-style long dining table that could probably accommodate more than 20 people. It was enough for a private banquet.

At this moment, there were some small steamers on the dining table. There was breakfast on the plates, but there was no one else. For example, chefs, nannies, and so on.

Chen Youlu took good care of Chen Chu. After sitting down, she pulled a chair for him. “Sit here.”

Chen Chu nodded uncomfortably. Damn, why didn’t he take the initiative to pull out a chair for the girl just now? In the end, it was the girl who helped him. How ungentlemanly.

In front of him were two cups of milk, a few bamboo steamers, and bread and fried dough sticks. There were steamed dumplings, glutinous rice, siew mai, soup dumplings, and coarse grain steamed buns in the steamers.

Chen Chu did not stand on ceremony. After Chen Youlu greeted him, he also started eating. Eh, the soup dumplings were actually crab roe? How extravagant.

“Oh, right, how old are you this year? You shouldn’t be that old since you’re in your second year of high school, right? You’re so tall.”

“I’m 16, 1.81 meters.”

“Now, you youngsters in 06s and 07s are really exaggerated. All of you seem to be on steroids.”

Chen Chu smiled.

Chen Youlu suddenly looked at Chen Chuqing’s clean face. “Are there any girls pursuing you in school?”

Chen Chu was embarrassed. “Well, a few.”

“Tell me about it.” Chen Youlu’s interest was piqued.

For some reason, no one pursued a beauty like her for four years in university. Did she look difficult to woo? Forget it. In any case, she had not met anyone she liked in her four years of university. If someone really wooed her, she would find it annoying.

…

After the two of them finished breakfast, Chen Youlu remembered his father’s instructions. He wanted her to bring Chen Chu around the house.

Chen Chu was only interested in the beach. It was quite unbelievable that Chen Chu had never been to the seaside since he was living in a coastal city. Knowing what Chen Chu was thinking, the two of them changed into slippers.

But the car happened to be gone, and Chen Youlu, in her coverless slippers, fidgeted with her little toes. Chen Youlu was puzzled. “Eh, what’s going on? Why did the car drive away? Brother Li (the bodyguard and security captain) isn’t here either.”

Chen Youlu took out her phone and called Brother Li, but no one picked up. There was only a row of mini electric scooters at the door as a means of transportation. Chen Youlu was a little helpless. She looked at the mini electric scooters used for transportation. “But I don’t know how to ride this.”

Chen Chu volunteered to ride this. “Sister Youlu, I know how to ride an electric scooter.”

“Do you really? Don’t get into an accident on the way later. Why don’t we wait? I’ll try making another call.”

Chen Chu’s chest thumped. “Don’t worry, it’s safe!” He directly rode on it. The electric scooter that was used as a means of transportation dinged and activated its self-response. Chen Chu waved at Chen Youlu. “Sister Youlu, come up.”

Chen Youlu straddled the back seat and grabbed Chen Chu’s clothes. “Drive slower.”

“Okay, let’s go.” Chen Chu turned the throttle and the electric scooter ran out. Chen Chu exclaimed. This was different from his usual electric scooter. “F*ck, this electric scooter is so powerful!”

Chen Youlu was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged his waist tightly and pressed her entire body against his back. “Ah, slow down, slow down!”

“Let me see where the gear is. I found it. Damn, it’s already so powerful. Who would be so wicked as to put this in third gear!”
