Chapter 66

Su Yuan smiled and said, "It's fine. I have no impression of that dad at all. I've already gotten used to it over the years. I think having a mom is enough."

Ji Dad gave Su Yuan a deep look and immediately formed a new impression of her. She was a very strong girl! Although her family background was not satisfactory, she would be the perfect daughter-in-law. He secretly compared her with his friend's daughter and found that Su Yuan was far superior.

Once the scales in his heart tilted, Ji Dad's attitude toward Su Yuan became even friendlier. "I apologize for being forward, but may I ask what your mother's name is and what your family's stationery factory is called? Oh, don't misunderstand, I mean if the conditions allow, my company can provide some necessary help to your family's stationery factory."

"Are you suggesting a collaboration?" Su Yuan's eyes lit up. She vaguely remembered the scenes of her mother, Su Caiwei, working hard for the family. This time, pretending to be Ye Hao's girlfriend, if she could find a partner for the family's small factory, it would be a significant gain.

Ji Dad nodded with a smile, "Yes, if possible, our two families can collaborate!"

Ji Dad wouldn't be stingy with this favor. The small factory Su Yuan mentioned was probably only a few million in scale, which was negligible for the Shengtian Group under the Ji family.

Receiving Ji Dad's response, Su Yuan was immediately delighted. She happily said, "My mom is called Su Caiwei, and our stationery factory is called... Su Meng Stationery, yes, that's the name!"

"Su Meng Stationery?" Ji Dad frowned. He had never heard of this name before, which also confirmed the insignificance of the Su family's stationery factory. However, it didn't matter. With the support of the Shengtian Group, it could be expanded with some investment.

The name Su Caiwei seemed familiar, but given the large population of China and the common surname Su, it wasn't surprising to have the same name.

"Uncle Ji, what is your company called?" Su Yuan asked cautiously. Although it seemed abrupt, she decided to ask clearly so she could report back to her mother.

Ji Dad smiled gently, "Have you heard of the Shengtian Group?"

"Shengtian Group?"

Su Yuan shuddered. In Haizhou, the Shengtian Group was very well-known. When mentioning the Shengtian Group, "International" should be added in the middle. Su Yuan had heard of this group by chance, and it seemed to be very successful in business, even expanding overseas.

Although it couldn't compare with the local major company "Huaxin Technology," it was still a brand group company that the local government strongly supported. This was the first time Su Yuan learned about the Ji family's situation, and she was immediately stunned, taking a while to recover.

Ji Dad chuckled at Su Yuan's loss of composure. This little girl really knew nothing, which indirectly showed that his son's confidentiality was quite good. Ji Dad had already preliminarily recognized Su Yuan as his daughter-in-law and, by extension, found her quite adorable.

In fact, after a brief moment of shock, Su Yuan quickly recovered. She clenched her fists, blaming her loss of composure entirely on Ji Ye Hao for not giving her a heads-up. On the other hand, she felt a bit uneasy about pretending to be his "girlfriend."

If she thought that she could at least secure a partner for her family's small factory, now that she knew the Shengtian Group's reputation, she had some concerns. If Ji Dad found out she was deceiving him, would he, in a fit of anger, cause her family's small factory to go bankrupt?

It was said that the Shengtian Group's total market value reached over 2 billion US dollars, and it would be very easy to make a stationery factory go bankrupt.

With mixed feelings, the conversation with Ji Dad ended. Su Yuan quickly found Ji Ye Hao and gave him a harsh scolding. Although she didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Ji Dad and Ji Mom, she was quite justified in front of Ji Ye Hao.

"Ye Hao! Why didn't you tell me about your family's connection to the Shengtian Group? I didn't expect you to be a rich and noble young master!" Su Yuan used all her sarcasm to scold him. She felt that this time the problem was big, and it might even involve her mother.

"It's all your fault! If my mom finds out, she'll beat me to death!"

Ji Ye Hao, who was at fault, listened silently. After Su Yuan finished, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if your pretending to be my girlfriend is exposed, my dad won't care about such trivial matters."

Su Yuan sneered, "Sure, your Shengtian Group is a giant, and my stationery factory is just a little ant!" Although she was still不服气 (unconvinced), she felt relieved inside.

"However, there is one condition: you must not expose that you are a boy!"

"Of course, I know that better than you!"

If Ji Dad and Ji Mom found out that he was "cross-dressing," the consequences would be severe. To put it bluntly, the Ji family might allow her to benefit as a woman, but they would never tolerate a man trying to change the sexual orientation of the Ji family's heir!

Su Yuan was well aware of the unbearable consequences if the truth came out. Fortunately, she knew her own situation, which gave her some confidence.

After their secret plotting, they sat together in the living room, eating fruit and watching TV. Unbeknownst to them, Ji Dad and Ji Mom, who were eavesdropping, heard Su Yuan's outburst.

"It seems our little Hao will have a hard time in the future," Ji Mom said with a smile. Ji Dad nodded, agreeing that being henpecked wasn't scary; to some extent, it was a man's "indulgence" toward a woman.

Night fell, and it was time to sleep.

"What! No time to tidy up the room, so I have to sleep with you?" Su Yuan's face darkened, looking at Ji Ye Hao with obvious displeasure.

"I just asked my parents, and that's what they said."

"Do you think your house is so big that there's no guest room?" Su Yuan asked through gritted teeth. She knew it was all an excuse, provided by Ji Dad and Ji Mom to support Ji Ye Hao!

Ji Ye Hao helplessly shrugged, "Knowing is one thing, but reality is another."

"Then what do you suggest?"

"There's no choice. We'll just have to sleep together tonight."

"You mean, we'll sleep together?"

Ji Ye Hao nodded, "That's what my parents want. Since we're both boys, it's not a big deal to sleep together."

"Go away, I won't sleep with you!"

"Just bear with it for one night."

"You bear with it, I won't!"

"Alright, I'll try again." Ji Ye Hao went to talk to his parents and came back, shaking his head at Su Yuan, "No luck. My mom won't listen to me. I think she wants a grandson."

"Damn!" Su Yuan cursed. At that moment, the door opened, and Ji Mom, with a graceful demeanor, beckoned to Su Yuan, who quickly covered her mouth and followed her outside.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Hao said you want to sleep separately?" Ji Mom looked at Su Yuan with confusion, wondering if her son hadn't completely won over this girl yet.

Su Yuan nodded, embarrassed, "I think we should wait until our relationship progresses further..."

Hearing Su Yuan's admission, Ji Mom couldn't help but criticize her son internally. Such a good girl, and he hadn't even taken advantage of the situation. When she was Su Yuan's age, she was already a mother. She smiled and said, "You're such a child. How can your relationship progress if you don't sleep together?"

"Ah!" Su Yuan opened her mouth, surprised by Ji Mom's assertiveness.

"Stop talking. I believe our Xiao Hao knows his limits. Sleep with him tonight. If he dares to bully you, come tell Auntie, and I'll discipline him!"

As she spoke, Ji Mom thought to herself, "Xiao Hao, I can only help you so much!"
