CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Judging from this, it seems that this brat might be having second thoughts?

Meng Dehai couldn't help but click his tongue.

However, this doesn't seem so bad. Gao Qilin was raised by his old comrade-in-arms and he's bound to turn out badly. You can tell from our conversation that he's a good kid.

Not only that, Gao Qilin knows how to cooperate with me, and he also has the means to deal with Xu Jiang.

It looks like it has a bright future.

Most importantly, Gao Qilin isn't a policeman, so his wife should be satisfied...

At this moment, Gao Qilin, who was sitting on the sofa, also noticed Meng Dehai and smiled as he took his hand off Meng Yu's face: "Uncle Meng."

Gao Qilin was completely open and honest, while Meng Yu showed a fleeting moment of panic: "Dad, what's wrong with you? You come and go without making a sound!"

Meng Dehai feigned sternness and said, "What, did I ruin your plans?"

Meng Yu lowered her head and mumbled, "No, okay?"

Meng Dehai then stepped forward and said to Gao Qilin, "Qilin, why don't you stay for lunch today and try your Aunt Cui's cooking?"

Gao Qilin smiled slightly: "In that case, I'll shamelessly stay. Thank you, Uncle Meng."

"You child, what do you mean by shameless? I wouldn't want you to stay anyway."

Aunt Cui walked out of the kitchen with a smile, carrying a local seafood dish from Jinghai City: "Please sit down. It's a simple dish, don't mind it."

This was just Aunt Cui being polite; the huge bowl she was holding was almost like a seafood platter.

However, it must be said that at Aunt Cui's age, most people would have a certain fondness for younger people who are handsome and well-mannered.

She genuinely wanted Gao Qilin to stay.

Gao Qilin rolled up his sleeves to help, but Meng Yu pushed him back into his seat: "You sit down, you sit down, I'll get it done!"

At this moment, Meng Yu felt extremely sorry for Gao Qilin.

Don't be fooled by their current success; they used to have a very tough life!

Since that's the case, now that Gao Qilin has come to the Meng family, he should feel at home and absolutely not be wronged.

Meng Yu was busy inside and out, and even managed to serve Gao Qilin his meal.

Meng Dehai, who was standing to the side, took in the whole scene and couldn't help but fall into deep thought while holding his chopsticks.

Why is this girl taking such good care of Gao Qilin?

Could it be... that there's some meaning behind it?

In that case, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try; it would be a good opportunity for Meng Yu to test the waters and find out more about this kid.

As for that kid Gao Qilin...

Hmph, any young man with eyes wouldn't look down on his own daughter.

Especially since Gao Qilin had just come out of the army, he naturally wouldn't have had any contact with women, and was probably still a bachelor.

Thinking this, Meng Dehai took the opportunity of serving food to Gao Qilin to ask, "Qilin, what do you think of my girl?"

Gao Qilin glanced at Meng Yu and then said, "Miss Meng is very good."

"Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a very good reporter."

Meng Yu chuckled happily at the praise, waving her chopsticks: "Dad, look, there are plenty of people outside who think your daughter is outstanding!"

Meng Dehai rolled his eyes at him for his lack of manners, and Aunt Cui scoffed, "Qilin, why are you calling me so formally?"

"Just call me by my name, instead of calling me Miss Meng all the time."

Gao Qilin smiled faintly: "Then from today onwards, I will call you Meng Yu."

Meng Yu nodded: "It should have been done a long time ago!"

……

After having enough wine and food.

Gao Qilin was also preparing to leave, but before leaving, Meng Dehai escorted Gao Qilin all the way to the outside of the building.

Meng Yu followed closely behind, walking side by side with Gao Qilin: "Dad, I'll walk Qilin to the gate of the community."

Meng Dehai nodded and waved to Gao Qilin: "Qilin, come visit us often when you have time. If you're free, invite this girl out to play so she won't have to run around to different locations and rural areas all the time."

Meng Yu retorted, "I'm serving the people! But going out to play is fine though..."

Gao Qilin smiled and said, "In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to bother Uncle Meng and Meng Yu more often in the future."

Meng Dehai nodded slightly.

Although she wanted to match Gao Qilin with her daughter, she was, after all, a father.

Having said all that, Meng Dehai was already quite reluctant to part with it!

But at this moment, watching Gao Qilin and Meng Yu leave side by side, their backs chuckling and chatting.

Meng Dehai also vaguely sensed a sense of compatibility...

Chapter Twenty-One: Brother-in-law, come in with me!

Soon, Gao Qilin returned to the hotel where Chen Shuting was staying.

Chen Shuting was reading a picture book with Gao Yue. Gao Yue was so engrossed in the book that she didn't even notice her father opening the door behind her and entering the room. She was babbling away at the story of the little mole.

Instead, Chen Shuting noticed Gao Qilin's arrival. Gao Qilin made a shushing gesture, and a helpless smile immediately appeared on Chen Shuting's face.

Gao Qilin quietly stepped forward and gently covered Gao Yue's eyes: "Guess who I am?"

Gao Yue wasn't afraid at all; instead, she giggled and laughed, "Daddy, it's Daddy!"

Gao Qilin released his grip, smiled, and hugged the little Gao Yue who had rushed towards him.

Gao Yue hugged Gao Qilin's neck tightly, and Chen Shuting said helplessly, "You didn't even change your clothes before coming in. Wearing this shirt and tie must be so tiring."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting took Gao Yue from her: "Be good, don't bother Daddy, let Daddy change his clothes."

Gao Qilin picked up the casual suit Chen Shuting had prepared for him, tried it on, and it fit perfectly. He asked Chen Shuting a question, and Chen Shuting casually replied coquettishly, "What part of you haven't I touched?"

Gao Qilin smiled and said, "That's true."

Chen Shuting lowered her head and continued reading the picture book with Gao Yue. After Gao Qilin had been reading for a while, Chen Shuting suddenly said, "Qilin, when I called Dad today, he said he would like to meet up if he had time."

Do you have time these next couple of days?

Gao Qilin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Now, Chen Tai of the Construction Group is in the open, while I am in the shadows.

Nowadays, apart from Gao's Real Estate, Chen Tai probably knows nothing about himself, let alone that Xu Jiang, who is now attacking him so fiercely, was instigated by him.

Although my current development is far from being as advanced as his, I'm glad to have met Chen Tai...

It's not a big deal.

Thinking this, Gao Qilin nodded calmly: "Of course."

"I'll have time tomorrow."

A faint smile appeared on Chen Shuting's lips.

……

The next day.

As usual, Chen Shuting helped Gao Qilin tie his tie and then repeatedly confirmed, "Are you sure there are no problems with Gao's Real Estate?"

"You don't need to be there in person? We're just going for tea today, it's fine if you cancel..."

Gao Qilin smiled and squeezed Chen Shuting's hand: "Don't worry."

“My brother and Xiao Sheng are keeping an eye on things over there, so the construction site is operating normally and there shouldn’t be any problems.”

"Nothing is more important than seeing your family."

Chen Shuting gave Gao Qilin a playful glare, then picked up her handbag: "Yueyue, you stay home and watch TV. Your dad and I are going out for a bit, we'll be back soon, okay?"

Gao Yue, holding the doll, responded, and the two quickly left the hotel room.

……

After a short while, the two arrived at Chen Tai's suburban villa by car.

Chen Shuting, dressed in a white suit with a red long skirt, looked beautiful and capable. Standing at the door, she said calmly, "I made an appointment with my father to have Chengcheng come out and pick us up."

The bodyguard at the door quickly lowered his head: "Yes, Sister Chen."

Then someone was sent to summon Chengcheng.

Chen Shuting explained to Gao Qilin, "Qilin, Chengcheng is also our father's adopted daughter, and we practically grew up together."

"I'm currently helping my dad with chores and managing the household."

Gao Qilin nodded; he had heard of Chengcheng before.

He then smiled and said, "In that case, I'd like to meet him."

Not long after.

A short-haired woman wearing a white suit walked out. Her suit trousers and chunky heels made her look capable and efficient.
