Chapter 352 - Father Shi's Taunt!

In the night. 

Gu Yan and Shi Yu both arrived in the same car to his father's residency. The second uncle was informed to come there, along with his daughter so that they all can meet for the day. 

Even Su Xi arrived in the other car while picking up Ye Nian and Ye Shan from the house. Not only that, Ye Shang and Qin Mei arrived in separate cars. After all, it was a proper day for a meeting and reunion. 

But someone who was most hesitant to his house's gate in front of him was no one else but Shi Yu. He can feel his heart skip a beat the moment the  guard came and looked at him, and greeted, "Welcome back, Young Master!"

In contrast, Shi Yu only had nod his head in acknowledgement to what he said but he didn't utter even a single word in this response. Gu Yan noticed that Shi Yu was sweating too much because of his nervousness and he said to ease his mind. 

"You need to understand that everything isn't what we plan. It is a simple meeting to meet your father and family members. What is so wrong in it?" he can't help but ask with a frown. 

Shi Yu turned his face on Gu Yan, a smirk on his face, "As if you don't know what dad did after mom's death? For me,  she was my world and for her, she was his lady love. But he let her go just like that. So, stop explaining to me and keep your things to yourself!" he showed no mercy in his voice.

Despite being an elder, Gu Yan understood that there was no way that he will be able to convince Shi Yu at this point. He will only talk to his father and family members if he is willing to do the same on his own!

Shi Yu and Gu Yan got out of the car, with the lights near the garden around them. The Shi mansion was big enough and as it was already late enough, it made it look more beautiful. Shi Yu's grip on his coat tightened but he still looked calm. 

"Gu Yan, Shi Yu.. where is your second uncle?" Su Xi asked when she saw that they had got a frontier car and walked near them. 

Ye Nian was behind Su Xi, wearing an oversized coat above the once piece she wore under it. Her hair was opened, straight, and blowing away because of the wind. When Shi Yu's eyes landed on her figure, only he knew that he gulped down the amount of saliva in his mouth. 

'Why is she so beautiful? Aren't there many more beautiful and pretty girls in this world?'  he actually wondered why he felt like this toward her but on the second note, he averted his gaze back to the mansion to calm his nerves.

"He must be here at any time. Or maybe he is already inside along with his daughter. We should go inside now." Gu Yan took Su Xi's hand into his and Ye Shan walked along with Ye Nian, between her and Shi Yu.

"Yu brother! It is so good to see you after so long! How are you?" Ye Shan beamed when he saw the elder brother, and Shi Yu passed the child a warm smile. 

Being in a bad mood in this situation, only he knew that this young child's smile gave his heart another level of calmness.

At the same time, the family stepped inside where everyone's eyes landed on the marble flooring and the big mansion gate. It was outstanding in their eyes.

"Shi Yu.. I never imagined that your house will be this beautiful." Ye Nian muttered when she looked around herself. It was a rare beauty to see things like this. But what surprised her was, Shi Yu doesn't live here.

'It is just fake beauty. People of my family are really black by heart.' He thought and scoffed at the comment made by Ye Nian just now.

Su Xi's hands were in Gu Yan's arm with a warm smile. They saw an elder sitting in the middle of the dining table along with someone else.

Gu Yan got a little closer to Su Xu and whispered in her ears, "He is..my second uncle." 

"A..Alright!" She smiled and came forward when Father Shi spotted them, he stood up.

"Welcome Gu Yan! It is such a pleasure to have children in our house! Welcome, welcome!" He was warming to them and beside him stood a second uncle who came before them.

Gu Yan came near him and hugged him tightly like a senior. "How have you been uncle?" 

"Well, you see age is getting on our holds and we are still going. After all, how long can we take medicines?" Father Shi replied.

"Here.." Gu Yan brought Su Xi forward and said, "She is my wife, Su Xi and she is my daughter Ye Nian and he is my youngest son, Ye Shan.." 

"Oh.. who doesn't know the famous Ms. Su already? It was a pleasure to meet you for the very first time. But here I'm getting to know that you are already a family. What a surprise!" Father She's words brought a smile over her face.

"It is nice to see you as well. And… second uncle, greetings from my side." Su Xi nodded her head slightly to which sex cancel also replied with a simple. nod.

"I had no idea that Yan was such a big and large family! Yan, your daughter is really beautiful! This small kid is just after you for sure!" His second uncle replied back to which Ye Nian said.

"Thank you so much, grandfather. It is nice to see you." 

"Ahem..cough cough." Suddenly, when the family was introducing to themselves and others, a throat-clearing voice was heard from behind and it was no one else but Shi Yu.

Everyone almost forgot about his existence, even his own father didn't notice that someone else has also come to his home, his own son is back.

"Shi Yu! What a pleasant surprise to see you here today!"  Second uncle spoke first while Father Shi just passed his son a Clare whom he is seeing after months!

Or has it been years?

"It is nice to see you uncle..'' Shi Yu didn't reply much but his eyes also passed to his father and they were constantly eyeing each other.

Father Shi broke the silence with his words, "You still remember that you have a family?" 

"Obviously yes, will you even let me forget about that if I wish to? I guess no, so please cut the formality out. I don't even wish to see you but.. it isn't in my hands." He made it clear but Su Xi felt it was a little rude.

While Ye Nian wondered what happened between the father and son duo, Su Xi nudged Gu Yan to stop this.

"Alright. We are here for some business and I guess we should get it done before dinner and before Ning Quin arrives while Ye Shang and Qin Mei are on their way." He brought the talks back on business.

"Let us go near the bar."
