Chapter 1137 It's good if you don't like it
Jiang's father insisted on taking Huo Yanchen out, and they ended up going to the club together.
After arriving at the club, Jiang's father ordered a group of women to come over.
All sorts of beautiful, sexy, and cute women were brought before Huo Yanchen, and then it was said, "Yanchen, take a look at these women. Is there any you like? If you do, keep them and let them keep you company."
Huo Yanchen lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
The white smoke swirled around Huo Yanchen's face, and even Jiang's father thought that this man was indeed charming, no wonder he could be so infatuated with his daughter.
"Brother Jiang, don't you have a wife at home? How can you still come out and do these things?" Huo Yanchen played with a lighter in his other hand, and the flame of the lighter suddenly flared up, the orange-red flame flickering.
Jiang's father said, "Of course I can't. It's just that I've been looking at you, Yan Chen, for quite a while now, so I thought I'd find two to keep you company while you drink. Look at this one, she's quite pretty, how about keeping her?"
"No need," Huo Yanchen refused.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang's father pulled over another one, just like his daughter had done.
"This one is quite cute, and looks young too."
"Need not."
Huo Yanchen didn't want any of them. He just leaned back on the sofa and smoked his cigarette.
Jiang's father said, "Since we're drinking, it's better to have someone with us. You two, go and serve President Huo well."
Since Huo Yanchen didn't want any of them, Jiang's father simply arranged for Huo Yanchen to take them.
With so many women out there, Huo Yanchen has everything he could want, but he mustn't get too close to his daughter.
The beautiful woman sat down next to Huo Yanchen and started pouring him wine. Then, as if she had no bones, she pressed herself against Huo Yanchen, feeding him the wine right up to his lips.
Huo Yanchen didn't drink it, and was completely unmoved.
He just stared at Jiang's father quietly until he finished his cigarette and stubbed it out: "Since I call you 'Big Brother,' I consider you a brother. Just say what you have to say. There's no need for this."
Huo Yanchen's tone had turned cold, clearly indicating that he was not happy.
Since things have come to this point, Jiang's father will stop pretending.
"Yan Chen, you know, I've always treated you like family, like a younger brother. I really hoped we were brothers, like family, this kind of family, not that kind of family. Do you understand?"
Huo Yanchen lit another cigarette. So, what did Jiang's father find out?
“Yan Chen, we’ve known each other for many years. You’re young and accomplished, and you can have any woman you want. As your older brother, I sincerely hope that you can find someone you like and who is right for you. I hope you can be happy for the rest of your life and grow old with that person.”
“But Manman is different. She is my only daughter. I don’t ask her to achieve anything great in her life. I just hope she can be safe and happy and live a carefree life. Even if she doesn’t get married, it doesn’t matter. I can support her for the rest of my life.”
“Yan Chen, I’ve known you for many years and I know you’re a good person, but the only thing I dare not do is entrust Manman to you. Manman is too young now; she doesn’t understand anything yet. Do you understand what I mean?”
Jiang's father finally revealed everything.
He knew that Huo Yanchen was a good person, but he wasn't sincere.
Men are fickle. He's seen far too many messy divorces in wealthy families, and countless cases of men keeping mistresses and having illegitimate children. Not all of these are business marriages; many were once deeply in love.
People change, and feelings can easily be worn down by the trivialities of life.
In addition, Huo Yanchen is not exactly a kind person; his methods are rather ruthless. Jiang's father is even more worried that if Huo Yanchen were to use these methods on Jiang Manman one day, he doesn't even want to think about how heartbroken Manman would be.
The little princess we raise with such care and love naturally wants to be happy, not to end up with endless heartbreak.
It was precisely because she had known Huo Yanchen for so many years and understood his character that she dared not entrust Jiang Manman to him.
After all, Huo Yanchen's methods were truly ruthless. Among so many people in the Huo family, Huo Yanchen was the least noticeable one, but in the end, only Huo Yanchen remained in the struggle, which is enough to explain everything.
Huo Yanchen took a deep drag of his cigarette, and the smoke entering his lungs tasted somewhat bitter.
Where Jiang's father couldn't see, Huo Yanchen's fists were clenched tightly.
Huo Yanchen said, "Jiang Manman and I are not what you think. There is nothing between us."
His tone was so indifferent that it seemed to chill the surrounding temperature several degrees.
His behavior was so cold-hearted that Jiang's father didn't know whether to be happy or not.
"Really? But I heard that Manman likes you a lot," Jiang's father said.
“I have no feelings for her. Jiang Manman is no different from other women to me. She has even caused me a lot of trouble. I like mature and intellectual women, not her type.”
Huo Yanchen spoke these words seemingly calmly, but his lowered eyelashes betrayed him.
It's just that Jiang's father didn't notice it either. Hearing Huo Yanchen's words, Jiang's father finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If you don't like it, that's fine; it's even better if you don't like it.
As long as Huo Yanchen doesn't agree, Manman won't have a chance. It's better to end the pain quickly than to suffer for a long time. It's better to nip this relationship in the bud.
Jiang Manman is still very young and doesn't understand anything. At this age, it's easiest for her to let go of feelings. After some time, she might fall for someone else.
"Really? That's wonderful! Yan Chen, let me toast you. Thank you for your understanding and care for Manman all this time. She's still young and doesn't understand things. If she's caused you any trouble, please forgive her. You'll always be Manman's Uncle Huo." Jiang's father's words were full of gratitude as he held up his wine glass.
Huo Yanchen looked at the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Even Jiang's father disagreed with their being together, and they shouldn't have been together in the first place. This is a good thing, but why is my heart so confused?
Jiang's father's words also made Huo Yanchen feel quite uncomfortable.
He had only just realized his feelings, and was even thinking that once he calmed down and really thought things through, he would give himself a chance to try things out with Jiang Manman.
However, Jiang's father's words pulled Huo Yanchen back to reality.
Jiang's father's words clearly indicated that Jiang Manman was his precious daughter and that he did not approve of the two being together.
Everything is best now, before anything happens.
Before you've fallen, you must withdraw.
Huo Yanchen also felt a pang of sadness. He felt like he had never felt so sad before. For the first time, he realized that age could be such a huge distance.
