Ye Sheng looked at Sheng Yanzhou with a shocked expression, his gaze filled with uncertainty.
How could he be here! Just moments ago, he had been preoccupied with his daughter and the young master she brought along. He hadn’t even noticed that Sheng Yanzhou had arrived as well!
Now, seeing how Sheng Yanzhou was protecting that woman, it was clear that their relationship was quite intimate. Ye Sheng had navigated the business world for many years and had accumulated considerable wealth; there was little that made him feel intimidated. However, Sheng Yanzhou was one of those exceptions.
Despite being younger than Ye Sheng, the group behind Sheng Yanzhou and its formidable strength made Ye Sheng think twice. He just couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship Sheng Yanzhou had with this woman.
Thoughts raced through Ye Sheng's mind as he quickly composed himself and put on a friendly smile. “Mr. Sheng, why didn’t you let me know you were coming to Port City? I would have loved to extend my hospitality.”
Due to Ye Sheng's earlier attitude towards Ruan Fuxi, Sheng Yanzhou’s expression remained cold. “No need. I have some small ventures in Port City; I’m not unfamiliar with this place.”
Ye Sheng's smile faltered at those words. He had been so caught up in pleasantries that he had forgotten about Sheng Yanzhou’s influence. If they were to compare, the impact of Chuangsheng Group in Port City was certainly not lesser than his own. Especially considering the shipping division under Sheng Yanzhou’s group, which operated globally.
Ye Sheng laughed heartily, appearing unfazed. “I see I’ve been presumptuous. Mr. Sheng, what brings you to Port City this time? How about we have a meal together?”
Sheng Yanzhou’s demeanor remained indifferent. “No need; I’m just accompanying my girlfriend here.”
As he spoke, his gaze fell gently on Ruan Fuxi, his expression softening. At that moment, it became clear to everyone who he referred to as his girlfriend.
Ye Sheng's expression was grim.
He had been so busy lately that he hadn't taken the time to investigate the background of the master his daughter had found. He never imagined that his daughter, so capable, would bring in such a prominent figure—her boyfriend was actually Sheng Yanzhou.
At this moment, the smile on Ye Sheng's face appeared forced. He understood clearly that the reason his daughter wanted to demolish this building was undoubtedly because she had listened to her boyfriend's words.
He shifted his gaze to Ruan Fuxi, unsure of how to address her. Her demeanor was amiable, completely devoid of the earlier coldness. Ruan Fuxi looked indifferent.
Ye Sheng thought she seemed a bit arrogant, perhaps feeling impressive just because she was associated with Sheng Yanzhou. He didn't show it on his face, instead continuing in a friendly manner: "So it's Miss Ruan. My surname is Ye; I'm Lingling's father."
Ruan Fuxi nodded slightly but remained silent.
Ye Sheng continued, "Lingling is still a child and can be quite impulsive. I don't know what she has told you, but please don't take it too seriously, Miss Ruan."
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow but still did not respond. She was not some naive young girl; this line of reasoning held no weight with her. Whether to believe it or not was something she could discern for herself.
However, Ye Ling, feeling hurt and dissatisfied, interjected, "Dad, I'm serious! I really want to demolish this building, and you know the reason deep down."
Seeing that no matter what he said, Ye Ling remained obstinate about tearing down the building, Ye Sheng's expression immediately turned cold.
You want to tear down this building? That's impossible. Without my say-so, just see who dares to make a move.
