Capítulo 1163: Chapter 1163: Yun Lih ets the Parents
The golf course, lush green grass all around.
Two handso, imposing n slowly walked towards the rest area of the course.
Yun Lih didn’t ask much about who wanted to et him, until he saw a middle-aged couple playing golf near the sunshade and his eyes suddenly cleared.
“Old Xia, stop playing, Mr. Shang has arrived.” The well-maintained middle-aged woman put down her tea cup and quickly reminded him upon seeing Shang Yu.
The middle-aged man, who was swinging his club, looked over at the sound, a gentle thin smile appeared between his eyebrows, “Shaoyan is here.”
Shang Yu walked steadily up to him and nodded slightly, “Elder Xia, sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Not at all, not at all, I just played two rounds and you are already here. Co, sit down.”
This man is Xia Siyu’s father, Chairman of Huanxia, Xia Changye.
After Yun Lih and Shang Yu took their seats, Xia Changye handed his club to his wife and returned to the table.
“Xia Siyu’s father, Elder Xia.” Shang Yu glanced at Yun Lih and introduced them to each other, “This is Yun Lih.”
Xia Changye looked over with a sowhat scrutinizing gaze and nodded, “Mr. Yun’s na is well-known in my Xia Family.”
Yun Lih nodded politely, “You flatter , Elder Xia.”
At this mont, Madam Xia didn’t speak, but her expression was quite displeased.
Perhaps because it was their first eting, they were all very restrained; Xia Changye didn’t make things difficult but instead chatted a bit about business with Shang Yu.
About fifteen minutes later, Liuyun approached the n from behind, speaking at a moderate volu, “Boss, Madam was looking for you just now.”
Shang Yu lowered his eyelids briefly, then raised his eyes to look at Xia Changye, “Elder Xia, please excuse for a mont.”
Xia Changye waved amiably, and as the man walked out of the sunshade, he sipped his tea, “Mr. Yun, do you play golf?”
“Not very well, but if Elder Xia doesn’t mind, I could accompany you for a few rounds.”
Yun Lih carried himself with grace and poise, his words and deanor reflecting the steadiness of a mature man.
Before Xia Changye could speak, Madam Xia touched her pearl earrings and said with a half-smile, “Old Xia, I think we should skip the ga. It’s rare to et Mr. Yun, so let’s not waste ti.”
Even if Madam Xia’s tone was quite gentle, the dissatisfaction with Yun Lih was evident on her face.
Seeing this, Xia Changye smiled and shook his head, “No rush, a little relaxation through golf is no big deal. Mr. Yun, you go first.”
Yun Lih casually picked up a club, “No need for formalities, just call Yun Lih.”
Xia Changye gave him a deep look, then the two stepped up to the tee and started playing golf.
anwhile, Shang Yu entered the indoor lounge, draped his arms over the back of the chair, and said in a low voice, “Have Luoyu bring them over; don’t let Qiaoqiao drive.”
“Rest assured, Boss, Luoyu has already set off.”
The man leaned back, closed his eyes, and after a mont of silence, instructed, “Go tell Elder Xia that there’s a limit to being difficult.”
At the sa ti, a rcedes-Benz G-Class was racing down the highway.
Xia Siyu hugged a pillow in the back seat, her eyes a bit unsettled, “How much longer?”
“About half an hour.” Luoyu glanced at the rearview mirror, saw her anxious expression, and reassured her, “No need to worry, Miss Xia. Liuyun just ntioned that Brother Lih is playing with your father.”
Xia Siyu slumped her shoulders and murmured, “How can I not worry… My dad loves using the golf club to hit people.”
Li Qiao smiled softly, “Even if he gets hit, it’s sothing he deserves.”
…
On the golf course, Yun Lih and Xia Changye had been playing for ten minutes.
Whether intentionally playing poorly or truly unskilled, Yun Lih hadn’t won a single round.
Xia Changye swung the club for the last ball, watched the golf ball’s trajectory, then leaned on his club to gaze at Yun Lih, “You’re playing okay, but your eye is a bit lacking.”
“You are right.”
Xia Changye chuckled lightly, casually tossed the club aside, and picked up a towel from the table to wipe his hands, “Siming called a few days ago. He said you are dating my daughter?”
Yun Lih t Xia Changye’s gaze directly, “Today marks the seventh day of our relationship.”
“Ha.” Xia Changye picked up a cigar from the table and toyed with it in his hands, then sat down and composed himself, “I know all about the ss Lu Jingan caused in Faliang, and it’s largely due to your efforts that my daughter ca out unscathed.”
Yun Lih sat across from him, humbly nodding, “You give too much credit; it was only what needed to be done.”
After speaking, he looked at Xia Changye, “You don’t seem to be surprised by Lu Jingan’s actions.”
“Him…” Xia Changye bit the cigar, his expression sowhat worldly, “He’s just an ambitious young man, good at surface work but too muddled in thought, can’t achieve great things.”
Yun Lih took out a cigarette box from his pocket, “Then why force a match between him and Xiaxia?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Changye slowly looked over to him, “That was hardly a forced match. Although circumstances provide opportunities, if not for Xiaxia’s desperation, Lu Jingan wouldn’t have had the chance to appear.”
Yun Lih smirked, seemingly indifferent.
“You should know the reason.” Xia Changye looked into the distance with profound intent.
“Yes, indeed.”
Xia Changye scoffed slightly and sighed, “This ti, I asked Shaoyan to help arrange a eting with you in the South Sea. Since you’ve chosen to be with my daughter, there are so things I need to ask.”
Yun Lih nodded openly, “Go ahead.”
“All these years, she couldn’t sway you. Now, by choosing her, is it out of pity?”
The question was tricky, and at least to Yun Lih, it was sowhat uncomfortable.
He t Xia Changye’s deep gaze directly, saying candidly, “She doesn’t need my pity. If it wasn’t out of liking, I still wouldn’t accept.”
Xia Changye’s slightly somber face softened a bit, “You know how to talk.”
“It’s simply the truth.” Yun Lih tapped his cigarette ash, “Not accepting in the past was due to other pursuits. Choosing her now is just going with the flow.”
…
Twenty minutes later, Xia Siyu arrived at the golf course.
She hurriedly followed Liuyun to the rest area, “Are they still talking? How’s the atmosphere?”
“Yes, they’re talking.” Liuyun thought for a mont, “The atmosphere seems quite harmonious.”
“Harmonious? How can it be?” Xia Siyu felt Liuyun was talking nonsense; her father wasn’t easy to deal with, especially since they all harbored prejudices against Yun Lih.
Liuyun, seeing her indeed anxious, gave an awkward smile, “Miss Xia, you’ll know once you take a look.”
Xia Siyu directly stopped a golf cart, got in, and urged the driver to hurry.
Behind them, Li Qiao leisurely strolled across the lawn, scanning the surroundings but not spotting Shang Yu, “Where is he?”
“Madam, the boss is in the lounge.”
Soon, Li Qiao walked into the lounge, and as she looked up, she saw Shang Yu resting with his hand propping up his temple, eyes closed.
She lightened her steps, slowly approaching him, her gaze sweeping briefly over the small tea cakes on a low table.
