Chapter 313: Heart-to-Heart Between Father and Daughter
"Dad..." Bai Shishi was moved to tears by Bai Tianlong’s repeated words, feeling touched and happy for the efforts her father made for her. At least this means that in her father’s eyes, she’s not completely invisible!
But the clash between ideals and family values left Bai Shishi feeling intensely conflicted!
"Don’t worry!" Bai Tianlong waved his hand, looking completely enlightened: "I’m saying all this not to make you give up the tea house, but just to have a heart-to-heart talk with you!"
These words came genuinely from Bai Tianlong’s heart, without any deceit.
Initially, Bai Tianlong’s idea was really to make Bai Shishi hand over the tea house.
Now that Bai Jiaming is dead, to whom would they hand over the tea house?
What rubbish family rules, at this moment, are all useless.
After all, Bai Tianlong only has Bai Shishi, his only daughter.
Even though she’s a daughter, she’s still the flesh and blood kin!
"Daddy..." At this moment, Bai Shishi felt a strong urge to embrace her father and cry her heart out!
Such a considerate father, willing to temporarily put aside family notions just for a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter, where else can you find such a good father in the world?
Touched, this was Bai Shishi’s only thought at the moment!
"Good girl!" Bai Tianlong smiled slightly, knowing his daughter’s heart like no other.
"By the way, do you remember the time I arranged for someone to find you a marriage partner?" Anyway, having said so much nonsense, a little more won’t hurt.
"Hmm, you tell me." Bai Shishi felt confused by Bai Tianlong’s rambling, but her attitude indeed improved.
"Actually, that was something I struggled hard to achieve!" Bai Tianlong spoke earnestly and solemnly: "I sacrificed a lot of interests to help you win this!"
"Have you found your marriage partner? If not, I will help you find one!" He said with a friendly smile, looking as sincere as could be!
"No need, Dad!" Bai Shishi grew increasingly moved but felt strangely unsettled, yet couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, just that it felt off: "I already found who I’m going to marry!"
"Oh?" Bai Tianlong squinted his eyes, feeling embarrassed, he had so many things prepared to say, and with one sentence, his daughter blocked him completely, leaving him no face.
"Who is it?" Bai Tianlong asked with curiosity, wondering which lucky guy managed to catch his daughter’s eye. Was this a case of a crow becoming a phoenix, or no, a golden crow?
"Lin Tian!" Bai Shishi said, unknowingly smiling: "Haven’t you met him already?"
"Hmm?" Bai Tianlong’s brows furrowed, an immediate surge of anger rose from his feet to his head like a rocket, filled with rage, feeling like he drank a surge: "Did you say you want to marry Lin Tian?"
How can it be? How could it? Definitely not!
Lin Tian caused Bai Jiaming’s death, and now he wants to marry my daughter?
Do you think this is an ethical drama, with love and conflict between father-in-law and son-in-law?
No way, absolutely no way!
If Lin Tian marries Bai Shishi, what about Bai Jiaming’s revenge?
Would it mean staying powerless, just staring at each other agonizingly?
Thankfully, I foresaw this and made thorough preparations when Bai Shishi and Lin Tian came; Lin Tian likely has met his fate by now!
Regarding this matter, Bai Tianlong remained extremely confident!
Even if the preparations were rushed, a big family is bound to prepare thoroughly!
Even a hastily made trap is something not just anyone can withstand!
Long’s power is something Bai Tianlong witnessed firsthand, not exceptionally strong, but surely enough to deal with ordinary people!
Even if Long fails, it’s not a problem!
There’s been a special arrangement of snipers in ambush, if Long suffers a miserable defeat, and the three-triad formation is broken, a group of snipers will emerge, each taking a shot could turn Lin Tian into a sieve!
Exactly, so Lin Tian is doomed, dead for sure, unless he can be impervious to weapons, possessing a body of steel!
Obviously, these notions only exist in fantasy, how could humans possibly possess such skills?
Of course, even if someone did, it wouldn’t be a scoundrel like Lin Tian!
Therefore, I can completely relax and chat leisurely with my daughter, everything else will proceed as planned!
"Indeed!" Bai Shishi nodded. Although when she returned with Lin Tian last time, pretended that they were a couple as he had said, it didn’t matter!
As the saying goes, feelings grow over time!
As for what kind of "time," that’s open to interpretation!
"Though Lin Tian and I haven’t known each other for long, we share the same dreams and same thoughts, allowing us to quickly come together, and when I proposed marriage, we instantly agreed!"
At this point, saying something far-fetched doesn’t matter. As long as it can fool Bai Tianlong, Bai Shishi won’t hesitate to say anything, even claiming pregnancy!
"Father, love is just so wondrous isn’t it?" Bai Shishi countered: "So please bless us. Though Lin Tian’s background isn’t great, he works hard and diligently, which is what I value most about him!"
Bai Shishi looked completely serious, showing no signs of acting, as if it were entirely real: "As long as he remains ambitious, with my help, it’s only a matter of time before Lin Tian’s status won’t be lacking!"
"Why should the rise of power be limited by birth? Which family didn’t rise from nothing step by step? Just because Lin Tian hasn’t achieved success doesn’t mean he can’t achieve anything!"
"I believe Lin Tian can, and he will surpass everyone, he possesses both ability and skill, only hampered temporarily by not being discovered, just a dragon in shallow waters for now!"
"Sooner or later, Lin Tian will rise like a Kunpeng soaring for thousands of miles, possessing everything others can’t even compare to. This is my faith in Lin Tian, isn’t it, father?"
"..."
Bai Tianlong looked at Bai Shishi, who seriously said so much and found himself completely dumbfounded!
His daughter actually kept going on and on about a man with her father and then asked me if that’s true?
A daughter clinging to outsiders should not be this obvious, right?
I’m your biological father, the one who raised you and gave you everything you have!
At this moment, Bai Tianlong had no idea what to think, just felt a sour taste hearing Bai Shishi defending Lin Tian, like hearing a lover complimenting someone else!
