Chapter Eighteen: A Chance Encounter with the Father-in-Law and Resolving Heart-to-Heart Issues

Luo Cheng was invited by an organizer to participate in a charity auction, with all proceeds to be donated to impoverished villages in the western

mountainous region . Since he was going to the auction, he figured he should bring some items. With

Luo Ailing's permission, he brought

out the only recording ever obtained from a television station: a live recording of the "Top Ten Superstars" concert, which Luo Ailing herself had personally planned. Only three television stations nationwide had this tape,

and Luo Ailing herself possessed it. Because the concert was so successful, the television stations were reluctant to relinquish the broadcasting

rights. However, the concert's ticket sales alone exceeded 300 million US dollars, meaning each of the three broadcasting stations would earn

200 million US dollars. As the chief planner, Luo Ailing obtained the tape for free. Initially, Luo Ailing was

reluctant to part with it, but after learning that the charity auction wasn't just for show, she agreed to Luo Cheng's request.

After the auctioneer introduced the value of Luo Cheng's item,

the bidding began with a starting price of $500,000 and increments of $250,000. After a series of bids, the auctioneer announced the final result: "Twelve

million once! Twelve million twice! Twelve million three times! Sold! Congratulations to

Mr. for winning this item!"

After the auction, Luo Cheng met with Mr. An Zailin, the chairman of Anwen Real Estate. After a warm handshake,

they began a series of formalities. Under the media's barrage of cameras, Luo Cheng handed the videotape to An Zailin. At the

subsequent dinner, An Zailin asked, "Is An Youli in your company?"

"An Youli? You are…" Luo Cheng asked warily upon hearing An Zailin's question.

An Zailin stood out with his imposing presence and well-proportioned physique, unlike the typical burly CEO. His face

was handsome yet refined, his demeanor commanding respect without needing to be angry. The experience of the business world had honed his shrewdness and composure.

He looked at Luo Cheng with a knowing gaze, causing Luo Cheng to break out in a cold sweat. Who was he? How

did he know An Youli? An Youli's surname was An, and so was his—could they be relatives?

At that moment, An Zailin smiled and said, "Young man, don't be nervous. Let me introduce myself. I'm

An Youli 's father, An Zailin." He then extended a hand in a handshake, which Luo Cheng awkwardly

returned.

"You're An Youli's father? She said you were destitute and heavily in debt… what's going on?"

Luo Cheng found this hard to understand; it was just An Youli talking about her family.

"Young man, you're quite something! You even managed to win over my dear daughter. How did you do it?"

An Zailin said half-jokingly, but Luo Cheng felt that An Zailin was interrogating him.

"Uncle, what are you saying! We are truly in love. How could I have lied to her?" Luo Cheng quickly explained.

An Zailin just smiled, which made Luo Cheng very uneasy. At this moment, Luo Cheng wondered, how did he know

about me and An Youli? At this moment, An Zailin saw through Luo Cheng and knew what he was thinking, so he said, "You're

wondering how I knew about you. Before coming here, I already knew all the information about the guests at this auction

, and you're no exception. You have extraordinary business talent, but you're just starting out.

I know the whole process of how you bought your mother's company. You could say that I came here mostly

to see you. I can tell you that, to me, no one else is as valuable as you.

You should know why I bought your item; I've already accepted you. Otherwise, I wouldn't want this videotape.

I'm not a fan of celebrities, so I'll leave it at that. Do you understand?"

Luo Cheng nodded in deep agreement, then bowed and said, "Your son-in-law greets Father-in-law!"

"Hahaha! Get in my car in a bit, we're going somewhere." Seeing Luo Cheng's performance, An Zailin

was very pleased.

After the banquet, Luo Cheng rode in An Zailin's car to a secret club. In a well-soundproofed

room , only Luo Cheng and An Zailin were present. Seeing that they could talk, An Zailin said hesitantly,

"My relationship with my daughter is... a little complicated. I don't know how to put it."

Seeing An Zailin so different from his confident demeanor earlier, Luo Cheng felt that

the conflict between An Youli and her father was something they couldn't resolve. An Zailin's decision to bring him to this secret place meant this was the final

hurdle .

"Dad, what's wrong?" Luo Cheng asked, but his eyes weren't questioning; they were resolute, convinced

he could find the best answer.

An Zailin recounted what An Youli had told him about that night in the previous chapter. After listening, Luo Cheng wasn't

shocked or incredulous. Instead, he felt this father and daughter were so much like himself and his mother, except that mothers and sons

felt happiness, while fathers and daughters felt burdened.

"I know I was wrong that night. I feel sorry for her and her mother. It was incest!

I regretted it afterwards. How could I do that!" His self-reproach turned into tears, revealing

the bitterness and helplessness in the heart of this seasoned businessman. He was so successful, yet he did such a immoral thing. He shouldn't have done

that!

"Dad, should I tell you about my family?" Seeing that even such a business tycoon was being so frank, Luo Cheng decided

to go all out for An Youli and for his father-in-law!

"Your family?" An Zailin was very puzzled. Your family? What could your family have to do?

"You might find it strange, you might think we shouldn't have done it. Ever since that car accident..."

Luo Cheng began to recount his and his mother Luo Ailing's story, down to the smallest detail.

After listening, An Zailin asked, "Just a few dreams, and you two are 'together'? That's too frivolous

!"

"My mother said the same thing afterward. The world doesn't necessarily distinguish between family, friendship, and love so clearly.

At the time, I also thought that we might have been influenced by the dreams and gone down the wrong path in the eyes of the world. But gradually we both

understood that it was because we didn't just see each other as family, but also as soulmates.

My mother, influenced by the environment of the entertainment industry, no longer believed in true love. My biological father didn't see

us as real family either. What we represented to him was just a lifeline. Only her own

son would not betray her, so our relationship naturally followed. Perhaps this is the

saddest thing !" Luo Cheng's expression darkened considerably after he finished speaking.

After hearing these words, An Zailin fell into deep thought. He had once deeply loved Lan'er,

but then gave that love to An Youli. From a young age, he had taught her to become a woman like Lan'er.

Perhaps he was selfish back then, selfish because his heart only belonged to Lan'er. That was the root cause of why he mistook An Youli for

Lan'er . Understanding this, the knot in his heart that had been there for so many years was untied at this moment, and

he felt incredibly relieved. But now the problem was, what did An Youli think?

"Dad! Dad!" Seeing An Zailin's expression, Luo Cheng immediately felt something was wrong. Had he said something wrong

?

"Ah!" Hearing Luo Cheng's call, An Zailin, realizing what had happened, sighed deeply and said, "You're

right! But what about your daughter..."

"I'll ask for you, okay?" Hearing his father-in-law say this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright! It's getting late, you should go back and rest too!"

The next day, in a private room at a coffee shop, Luo Cheng and An Youli were on a date.

"I've met your dad!" Luo Cheng's first words caused An Youli, who had just taken a sip of coffee, to spit it out.

Luckily, Luo Cheng was sitting next to An Youli, not opposite her.

"Cough cough! What! You've met my dad!" Although she outwardly showed surprise,

An Youli thought Luo Cheng was joking and didn't believe him.

"He told me about what happened between you and him that night." Luo Cheng went straight to the point.

"What happened that night?" An Youli feigned ignorance.

"You were wearing your mother's nightgown, and then... umm!" Luo Cheng thought An Youli was

fearless , so he dropped the bombshell. When the words "your mother's nightgown" appeared, An Youli quickly covered

Luo Cheng's mouth.

"You're still going to talk! Are you still going to talk?" An Youli finally believed him, because only heaven and earth knew about this,

her father knew, she knew, she hadn't told anyone, and her father wouldn't just say it randomly.

Luo Cheng nodded. After An Youli let go, Luo Cheng said triumphantly, "You finally believe me! Your father accepts

me, I can be your husband!"

"What are you saying!" An Youli felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and shyly pouted.

"I persuaded Dad to resolve his inner conflict regarding that matter. What do you think about it?" Luo Cheng saw

that things had gone far enough and it was time to get down to business.

"Impossible! You're lying!" An Youli said incredulously.

"Believe it or not, you probably know about my relationship with my mother, right?" Luo Cheng probed.

"What could possibly happen between you and your mother!" Hearing this, An Youli thought of what happened that day, and even now

, thinking about it made her feel excited, but on the surface, she acted as if nothing had happened.

"My mother told me everything. You were pretending to be asleep, but you actually knew all along, didn't you?!" Luo Cheng revealed

his trump card, meaning, An Youli, take this!

"Oh... no! You tricked me!" An Youli was thinking about what happened that day, and

blurted . Realizing what she was doing, she quickly denied it.

"You admit it!"

"Who admitted it?! You're so mean!"

"If I were a bad guy, who would I hit!"

...Luo Cheng and An Youli were flirting and teasing each other in a private room in this coffee shop. An Zailin in the next room

heard everything.
