If I Had a Daughter

Chapter 3/8

After having pondered many things over breakfast, Yang Chen couldn’t imagine what Lin Ruoxi was going to say to Rose . So, he tried his best to not think about it .

He drove to the company building and took the elevator to his office . When the door opened after arriving at the office floor, a figure whom he hadn’t seen in a while appeared .

Dressed in a formal suit, a high spirited An Zaihuan was standing by the window . He seemed to be in an immensely good mood while he hummed . On the other hand, An Xin the supposed secretary, was nowhere to be seen .

An Zaihuan quickly turned around when he heard the sound door open . Seeing that Yang Chen had arrived, he immediately revealed a sincere smile as if he was meeting his relative, causing the wrinkles on his face to appear .

“Director Yang, I’ve been waiting for a while . ” When An Zaihuan spoke, he bowed slightly .

Yang Chen found it funny . He lazily walked to his chair and sat down before inviting An Zaihuan to do so as well . “You’re waiting for me in my office . Uncle An, is that not the least bit weird to you?”

“Yeah, yeah . My mistake . I’m a little nervous to have to disturb Director Yang so early in the morning,” An Zaihuan said smilingly as he pulled a chair over before sitting down .

Yang Chen couldn’t stand An Zaihuan’s flattering attitude . Technically, this man was An Xin’s father, which meant he was one of Yang Chen’s father-in-laws . However, there was no way in hell that he would pay respect to this senior . At least, not to someone who was willing to sell his own daughter . Moreover, ever since he met him, he had never done anything of value before before .

Yang Chen felt that the man’s greatest achievement in his life was giving birth to a great daughter .

“Now that Uncle An has taken over the Liu clan’s Jade Clouds Corporation, i’m quite sure that you must have a million and one things to do . You came to my office this early . Is getting nervous your only objective here?” Yang Chen asked straightforwardly .

An Zaihuan quickly shook his head . Being an experienced businessman, he could tell that Yang Chen didn’t have much to talk to him about . He said, “It can’t be said that I’m busy all day . While I do have work to do, it is usually the occasional thing or two . Many of the assets owned by the Liu clan are quite terrifying . After all, swallowing everything a decade-old major clan owned required quite some effort . Actually, I came with a question for Director Yang today . ”

Yang Chen frowned .  Why didn’t he ask An Xin to ask me instead? Is he trying to improve upon our relationship?

“It looks like something really important . Otherwise Uncle An wouldn’t have come over personally at this hour, am I right?” Yang Chen asked .

An Zaihuan smiled stiffly . Clenching his teeth, he spoke softly, “Director Yang, I heard that you were related to Liu Qingtian from Green Dragon Society . ”

Yang Chen squinted his eyes . Quietly, he stared at An Zaihuan in an indifferent manner .

Liu Qingtian was naturally Liu Mingyu’s father whom he had met just a few days ago, another father-in-law of his .

The man who had been in Beijing for the majority of his life owned an underground syndicate called Green Dragon Society . Yang Chen had vaguely heard about it before, but he wasn’t interested in digging deeper into it .

Rose was partnering up with Liu Qingtian to expand their powers in the underworld, while Yang Chen didn’t ask about any information specifically .

Currently, Yang Chen felt confused when the seemingly unrelated An Zaihuan suddenly asked about Liu Qingtian .

An Zaihuan felt a chill up his spine when he was gazed upon by Yang Chen that way . He had long witnessed Yang Chen’s terror back in Hokkaido . If it wasn’t because he was completely helpless, he wouldn't have showed up in front of Yang Chen . He was aware that Yang Chen didn’t find him pleasant . Yang Chen answered, “We’re related in a way . But more importantly, who told you?”

An Zaihuan sighed . Forcing a smile, he said, “I feel slightly guilty at how it happened . A while back, President Liu came looking for me . He hoped for the An clan’s financial groups to partner up with Green Dragon Society and Red Thorns Society . Of course, the partnership will only involve legal businesses . ”

Yang Chen nodded . “It’s a good thing . There are certain things that underground syndicates can’t do publicly . To put it frankly, he’s just asking for your help in money laundering, while you benefit from the deal as well . What’s the matter then? Are you too afraid to accept the offer?”

An Zaihuan sighed . Smiling, he said, “To be honest, I was quite hesitant when accepting the offer . But the profits involved made my heart move . ”

Yang Chen had more or less figured the situation out . The old fellow was willing to do anything one can imagine for money . It was just like he was eating the from the bowl but staring at the pot .

The partnership between Liu Qingtian and Rose would allow them to condense their underworld powers in Zhonghai and Beijing, allowing them to take on even larger associations . The whole process wan’t cheap and required large amounts of funding from both sides . As a result, investing was the best choice .

However, neither Green Dragon Society and Red Thorns Society were financial experts . Hence, partnering up with a major financial group was their best choice . The incredibly wealthy An clan became their best target, not to mention the clan wasn’t involved in the government at all .

Having lived for so many years, An Zaihuan was as cunning as a fox . He was aware that the money laundering business meant enormous amounts of profits . Of course, he didn’t hope to let the thick, fat meat in his mouth fall .

However, he was faced with legitimate underground syndicates . If he had chosen to join the partnership, he would enter the blacklist of the government . Unlike Japan, the underworld wasn’t legal . Unlike European and American countries, China had clear information about underground associations . If the government wanted them to die, all they could do was hide in holes .

More worryingly, would Liu Qingshan keep his promise in the partnership? Laws were just words on a piece of paper to these people . If Liu Qingtian were to betray him, the An clan wouldn’t be strong enough to resist . “After meeting President Liu that day, I secretly sent someone to check his family background . I soon noticed that his daughter seems to have…” An Zaihuan’s forehead exuded sweat . He then let out a stiff smile before continuing, “A good relationship with Director Yang…”

Yang Chen said, “No need to be so nervous . I’m not short-tempered . That’s right, Mingyu is my woman . I’ve had a meal with her family before . ”

“Then, we…” An Zaihuan looked at Yang Chen with high expectations .

Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders . “I understand what you’re trying to say . You may daringly partner up with Green Dragon Society and Red Thorns Society . I’ll show up if anything goes wrong . But Uncle Liu isn’t that kind of a person . He will never kill the hen to extract her eggs . Regarding Rose, you don’t need to be worried as well . She’s also my woman . ”

An Zaihuan widened his mouth in shock . He just found out that the president of Red Thorns Society was one of Yang Chen’s women as well .

“What is it? Are you surprised?” Yang Chen asked with a smile .

An Zaihuan instantly shut his mouth before quickly shaking his head . He giggled before saying, “No, no no . It is normal for a man like Director Yang to have multiple wives . Only incompetent men would stay with one forever . ”

Yang Chen withdrew the smile on his face and gazed upon An Zaihuan coldly .

An Zaihuan felt his heart tremble . He didn’t realize the mistake in his words .

“Uncle An, although I’m more horny and have a lot of women, I’ve never once felt that a man who stays with only one woman is incapable . An Xin is your only daughter . Are you so dense to feel that she is better of with a man with multiple women? If I had a daughter, I’d definitely be dissatisfied if the man she sought wasn’t faithful to her . Whether I can do something about it will have to depend on my competence . At the very least, I don’t feel that praising this act is the right thing to do . ”

Speechless, An Zaihuan was stunned for a while . He had his head lowered in silence .

“You may feel that I’m acting noble . What I’m doing is the complete opposite with what I just said after all . Believe it or not, this is what I truly think,” Yang Chen said and smiled . “I’ve finished saying everything I have in mind . I’ll send you off if there’s nothing else you need . ”

“Aye, you don’t need to . ” An Zaihuan hurriedly stood up and waved his hand awkwardly . He then walked toward the door as he said, “I’ll be fine leaving alone . Director Yang may continue with your tasks . ”

When An Zaihuan opened the door, An Xin who was dressed in an office attire was coincidentally on her way in .

The father and daughter stared at each other for a moment . An Zaihuan then turned his head away and tapped An Xin’s shoulder before leaving .

An Xin entered the office and shut the door . Her fair-skinned face showed no emotions . After gracefully walking to the back of Yang Chen, she extended her arms and hugged his neck before leaning toward his face .

Yang Chen enjoyed the orchid-like scent . Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Why are you suddenly so artistic? This doesn’t look like your style . ”

An Xin didn’t laugh for the joke but bit her lips instead . She said, “I overheard your conversation earlier . ”

“Gosh, I didn’t know the sound proofing was so poorly done here,” Yang Chen said as he put up a gloomy act .

“Father had originally wanted me to ask you instead . I refused . On the contrary, I asked him to do it himself if he had the courage . I now feel that doing so is the right choice, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to listen to what you had said earlier,” An Xin said softly .

Yang Chen smiled and tapped An Xin’s cheek .

At this moment, Yang Chen’s phone which was placed on the table rang .

An Xin obediently let go of Yang Chen and delivered the phone to him .

However, An Xin revealed the look of a little vixen when she saw the name on the phone before looking at Yang Chen in a teasing manner .

Yang Chen rubbed his nose and picked up the phone . He then said, “Hi, Tang Wan, what’s up?”
