Chapter 74: Proving his strength

Author's note: [Sigh……I overslept]

Su Luo finally moved as he lifted his foot and walked over towards his daughter.  But after taking two steps forward, he stopped.  He realized that he didn't have the courage……he didn't have the qualification to face her.  He had once thought that he had done enough by allowing his daughter to live a happy and comfortable life, but now he had found out he was actually an incompetent father, possibly, even, a hated father.

He turned around and his gaze collided with Ye Tian Xie.  His originally blurred eyes suddenly changed and they became cold once again.  He opened his mouth and asked, ”Is there a clean room upstairs?”

Ye Tian Xie cleanly shook his head, ”No.”

Su Luo became speechless.  He sighed and then said, ”Come with me.”

After he finished, he turned to walk towards the dust covered stairway.  Each step he took was incomparably heavy.  The two bodyguards, who came with him, followed closely behind.

Ye Tian Xie looked over at Su Fei Fei once and then got up from the sofa as he followed them upstairs.  At this moment, he had met another Su Fei Fei and he had a clear understanding of her……A person that was as lonely and pitiful as he was.

The balcony on the second floor.

The time was close to noon.  The burning hot rays of the sun s.h.i.+ned through the gla.s.s onto Su Luo's body, but it did not melt his cold demeanour or the gnawing pain in his heart.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind him, he turned around and faced Ye Tian Xie.  His eyes swept over him as he carefully scanned over his body.  At this moment, he was seriously examining him.  When Su Fei Fei had been rescued by Ye Tian Xie, he had launched an investigation on Ye Tian Xie, but the results that he had obtained thoroughly startled him.

”You're called Ye Tian Xie?”  Su Luo broke the silence.

Ye Tian Xie gave a tiny nod and said with a slight smile, ”Boss Su, you are the richest man in Asia.  Every minute you earn enough money that many people can't afford in their entire lifetime. If the words you are going to say are time wasting then there's no need to say them.  If there's anything you want to say, just tell it to me directly.”

Su Luo's expression did not change, but his eyes narrowed a bit, ”It seems like you already know who I am and who Fei Fei is…….From what I know, you've already been living alone for quite a while and you've almost never tried to make contact with anyone.  And the fact that you haven't rejected Fei Fei's rushed 'presumptuous' request should be related to my status.”

”Ah, if I say no, would you believe me?”  Ye Tian Xie gave a willful smile.  Regardless of his smile or his words, they all made one feel no discomfort like a lie would, ”You're not wrong.  I didn't reject because she is Boss Su's daughter.  Otherwise, she wouldn't have the qualification to enter my house.”

Ye Tian Xie was very straightforward, he was not polite at all.  The two bodyguards behind Su Luo knit their brows and their eyes staring at Ye Tian Xie became a little grim.

Su Luo was not the slightest bit angry.  On the contrary his originally tense face relaxed, ”You are not someone who lies.  Regardless of what your goal is, you're willing to say everything directly…….Like this, if Fei Fei stays here, I'll be more relaxed.  Since you didn't reject her, that means you're willing to protect Fei Fei right?”
