Chapter 378: Rich Man’s Daughter
After paying him $1,000, Grom finally left with the trembling Prince. Chen Zhao brought Karim, Howard, and Kane to the field to talk about life.
Faur and Fali sat in the living room.
“When is Mom coming back?” Fali asked.
Speaking of Winnip, Winnip’s car was already parked outside.
“Faur, Fali, you’re here. Did Laurent do anything weird?” Winnip clearly knew about Laurent’s prank or had guessed his plans.
Laurent and Chen Zhao had always been rivals. After hearing that Chen Zhao was coming, he’d plotted with Karim, Kane, and Howard for two weeks.
Winnip didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm since it was almost his birthday.
“Winnip, your two daughters almost scared me to death,” Laurent immediately complained.
Roar!
Just then, Princess came out of the kitchen. Winnip had a fright. “This is...”
“Chen’s new pet,” Fali said.
Winnip thought for a moment and glanced at Laurent’s expression again. She immediately looked at him with sympathy. Winnip had a special love for animals. Whether they swam in the water or ran on land, she loved them all.
“Fali, is this Chen’s birthday present for Dad?”
“Mom, Chen didn’t bring out his present yet, but you’ll definitely like it.”
“Why will I like a gift for your dad?”
“Dad won’t refuse either.”
“What exactly is it?”
“It’s not time to take it out yet.”
“Faur, what are you giving me?”
“I’m here and I’m the best gift. Dad, what do you think?”
Laurent drowned himself in beer. He didn’t dare to say no, because then Faur would definitely lose her temper.
Faur didn’t have a good temper like Fali. She’d been obstinate and stubborn since childhood.
“Where are Karim, Kane, and Howard? How come I don’t see them? And Chen?”
Laurent didn’t want to answer, but Fali said, “Chen said he hasn’t seen them in a long time, so he pulled them out to talk.”
Fali didn’t notice the sympathy in the others’ eyes. What could Chen Zhao pull them out to talk about?
An hour later, Chen Zhao and the three bodyguards finally came back.
...
After everyone settled in, Laurent secretly called Karim.
“Karim, are Kane and Howard sleeping?”
“Mr. Laurent, please let us go. We really don’t want to play with Chen anymore.”
Chen Zhao had given them a very nice talk. Now, they’d rather die than pull a prank on Chen Zhao again.
His pets were getting more and more terrifying.
More importantly, Chen Zhao was petty. He would make them pay for every prank. They couldn’t beat him either, so they were always pushed onto the ground and dragged around.
“Don’t you want to take revenge?”
“Revenge? How? We’ve never succeeded against him.”
“This is why we can’t let him go. Think about it. We don’t know when he’ll come to Sacramento again. We must leave a deep impression for him in these few days, even if we get hit.”
Easy for you to say, Karim thought. No matter what, you’re his father-in-law. He hits us, not you.
“This is Sacramento, our turf. Are you going to surrender just like this?”
“Mr. Laurent, do you have any plan?”
“Come to my room. We’ll talk about it.”
“Isn’t Boss in your room tonight?”
“She’s sleeping with Fali and Faur today.”
The three bodyguards snuck to Laurent’s room. The four of them started discussing.
...
In the morning, Chen Zhao stretched and got up to open the window. He was met with the sweet fragrance of the field.
The environment was great here. The surrounding acres all belonged to Laurent and Winnip.
Fali and Faur were like a feudal lord’s daughter. Adding on Winnip’s chain store, they were authentic rich beauties.
When Chen Zhao went downstairs, Fali, Faur, and Winnip were making breakfast. Chen Zhao kissed Fali. “Dear, what plans do you have today?”
Mom and Fali are going shopping with me to buy Dad a gift,” Faur said.
“What about me?”
“You and Dad can stay home.”
“Fine.” Chen Zhao shrugged.
He just wanted to have a peaceful morning. Hopefully, Laurent wouldn’t cause any trouble.
A while later, Laurent, Karim, Kane, and Howard came downstairs one by one. Hearing that the women were leaving, their eyes shone and kept darting at each other.
After a while, Winnip, Fali, and Faur went out. Chen Zhao lay on a recliner in the yard, enjoying the warm sunlight.
“Chen, get up,” Laurent said, coming to Chen Zhao. “We’ll go have fun.”
“I’m not going.” Chen Zhao didn’t even have to think to know that Laurent was plotting against him.
“Don’t be so boring. Get up.”
“What about Princess and the others?”
“Just leave them at home. Karim and Kane can take care of them.”
“Fine.”
Karim and Kane all let out relieved breaths. Not having to face Chen Zhao directly was the best news for them.
“I want to stay home and take care of them too,” Howard said, looking depressed. “There are so many pets. Karim and Kane might not be able to take care of them all.”
Laurent gave Howard a look. Finally, Howard agreed unwillingly.
“Princess, Black Ma, White Ma, Obitos, if I don’t come back in four hours, eat Karim and Kane.”
Karim and Kane were speechless.
“I think Kane can take care of them by himself,” Karim said immediately. “How about I go with you all?”
...
“Laurent, where do you plan on taking me to? If it’s another childish prank, I advise you to reconsider. Fali isn’t here, so I won’t go easy on you.”
You’re my father-in-law when Fali is here. When she’s not, you’re just a sack of meat. Don’t end up hurting yourself later.
“Chen, why don’t you trust me?” Laurent looked at him, hurt.
“Why should I trust you?” Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. They were all adults. Why should Chen Zhao trust him?
They both knew how the other was thinking and they both disliked each other.
“Okay, I’ll tell you the truth. You must pass my test if you want to be with Fali.”
“Even if you don’t agree, I’ll still be with Fali,” Chen Zhao said nonchalantly. “You can’t do anything about it.”
This wasn’t some old-fashioned society where marriage had to follow the parents’ wishes.
“I won’t give my blessings even if you and Fali decide to get married. You might not care, but will Fali not care?”
“Whatever, let me just kill you now,” Chen Zhao said, annoyed.
