Forced to Date a Big Shot

21 Xiang Huai's Father-In-Law

Xue Sheng's tea was placed in a carrier. The secretary did not even need to see what was inside to know that it must be something of high value. Hence, after a glance, he said, "That cannot do."

Elder Gao had specifically ordered: Refuse gifts!

As he saw that even the gift was being rejected, Xue Sheng's face turned even bitter. Is it really because Xixi offended the Gao family?

While he was thinking this, a convertible with its roof open drove in. The large metal gates parted open and the secretary moved to the side, then respectfully addressed, "Young Master Chen."

Gao Yanchen waved at him in greeting, then slowly drove into the compound.

Xue Sheng frowned.

The young man's complexion seemed fine. This meant that what the supposed "unwell" Elder Gao had said was merely an excuse.

Idling here for any longer would only offend the other party. Just as Xue Sheng was about to leave and think of another solution, the car that had driven in slowly reversed its way out. Gao Yanchen looked at him and asked with hesitation, "Xue Xi's father?"

He had seen Xue Sheng in other events before.

Xue Sheng nodded and admitted openly, "Yes."

In the next instant, Gao Yanchen hurriedly alighted from the car and greeted him politely, "Uncle Xue, are you here for a visit? Hurry and come in!"

"..."

Xue Sheng was usually a calm person, but now, even he was totally dumbstruck. What is happening?

The secretary was even more at a loss. "Young Master Chen, Elder Gao said—"

Gao Yanchen cut him off in annoyance. "Let's talk inside if there is a need to. Is halting our guests outside our door part of our Gao family's hospitality?"

Secretary: "?"

Young Master Chen, you used to ignore everyone. Have you ever shown any hospitality?

Alas, he did not say this out loud.

After they entered the living room, Gao Yanchen said, "Uncle Xue, have a seat first. I'll go call the old man."

He then noticed the gift in his hands and said, "Is this a gift? I'll help you pass it in."

Xue Sheng nodded, feeling awkward. He then sat down on the sofa beside them.

With the gift in hand, Gao Yanchen walked in. Elder Gao was sitting at the balcony and basking in the sun. When he saw his grandson walk in, he sighed. "Did you skip class again?"

Gao Yanchen walked over. "You have a guest."

Elder Gao waved at him. "I'm not seeing anyone. I won't be seeing anyone for the time being."

Gao Yanchen squatted down and tugged his beard. "Old man, you must definitely meet this guest!"

The old man yelped in pain and sat up, swatting his grandson's hand. "Show some respect to your elders!"

He then peered at the gift box in his grandson's hands and asked curiously, "Who is this guest that you place so much importance on? It's fine if I have to meet him, but we must agree to not accept any gifts."

The latter simply stuffed the gift in his hands, though. "You must accept it!"

Elder Gao sighed. "You don't understand. Some higher-up came recently and I will get in trouble if I accept any gifts during this dangerous period."
