Chapter 419 - HOW FAR UNCLE IS WILLING TO GO
"I HOPE you enjoyed dinner, Mr. Shen," Luo Wei Tian said to the man sitting beside him as he sipped on a glass of red wine.
They were on the hotel's rooftop deck. It's a special area with a built-in garden where people could enjoy the view of the city. Only VIP guests could have access in this area of the hotel. There's a cooking and dining space where guests could ask one of the chefs of the hotel to cook for them. The food then would be served directly while it's still piping hot.
Luo Wei Tian already told Manager Gu beforehand that they would be having dinner here on their first night of stay in the hotel. It wasn't a problem to add another two guests with them. Which were Shen Ji Yun and his uncle. When they reached the deck, a chef and several waiters were already waiting for them.
They had a leisure and relaxed dinner.
After clearing their dishes, Luo Wei Tian let the chef and waiter go back. Leaving his family and the Shen uncle and nephew at the deck. He was currently sitting comfortably while drinking wine. Shen Yi Mu was drinking with him as well as his eldest – Luo Ren. His other two sons were with Shen Ji Yun looking the night view of the city.
"Please, Brother Luo, you can just call me Xiao Shen," Shen Yi Mu said cordially to Luo Wei Tian.
He was smiling on the outside, but on the inside, he truly wanted to smack his nephew. Because the brat didn't even bother to tell him that Luo Yan's father was actually the president and CEO of Tianhua Group – one of the biggest real estate group in the country. So, just imagine his surprise when they were introduced. It was a good thing that he was not the type to panic needlessly which helped him not to show any abnormal reaction.
He probably wouldn't have that much of a reaction if he didn't know beforehand that his nephew was coveting the man's son. Being the good uncle that he was, he decided to establish with his nephew's possible in-laws. In the near future, if ever Ji Yun managed to abduct Luo Yan, then, he could at least help them mediate with the Luo family.
Based on what he'd seen during dinner, they would need a lot of mediating.
Luo Yan's father and brothers dote on him just a tad bit too much. Being babied like that, it made Luo Yan appear way younger than he already was. It was probably because of the accident seven years ago.
Although the social circle of B City and S City was completely different, Shen Yi Mu had heard of what happened to the Luo family seven years ago. Aside from that, since Ji Yun became friends with Bai Ze, he made an effort to also have a good relationship with the Bai family. That's why he found out first-hand about what happened because the Bai family was in-laws with the Luo family.
Bai Mei Hua and two of her sons were involved in a car accident. She unfortunately didn't survive while one of her sons fell into a coma. The last he heard, that son was still in a coma. But it seemed like he already woke up, he thought while looking at the direction where Luo Yan was.
No wonder the kid was a bit too short for his age. Falling into coma at such a young age, his growth would definitely be affected. Shen Yi Mu also understood why Luo Yan's family dote on him too much. A family member who had been in a coma for years miraculously woke up, if he was in their shoes, he might also act the same way.
He then glanced at his nephew who was standing beside Luo Yan. Instead of looking at the night view of the city, he was gazing down at Luo Yan. His glacial blue eyes were filled with warmth. As if the usual ice inside them had melted.
Shen Yi Mu almost resisted the urge to throw something at Ji Yun. What was that look? It's like he was shamelessly advertising to everyone, 'look, this is the person I like!'. Could you please converge a little? Luo Yan's family was here, you know?
He sighed. It seemed that aside from the 'adult' talk, he still needed to have another kind of talk with this nephew of his.
"Then, I'll do just that," Luo Wei Tian said in response to what Shen Yi Mu said earlier about calling him 'Xiao Shen'.
"The dinner was very enjoyable. Thank you for inviting me and Ji Yun," Shen Yi Mu said.
"Your nephew has been taking care of Xiao Yan in that game they're playing. Since the both of you are also here, the least I could do is to invite you to dinner."
[It's because my nephew has ulterior motives in getting close to your beloved son.] – Of course, Shen Yi Mu didn't say any of that and just proceeded on praising his nephew. "Ji Yun has always been a caring and responsible child. He's just a tad bit awkward. But he's a good kid. He would definitely not do anything that might hurt Xiao Yan."
After he said that, Luo Ren gave him a quiet glance that almost made his scalp numb. But he pretended not to see it. He suddenly had a feeling that this guy knew about Ji Yun's intention towards his brother. He chose to ignore it and just continued to praise his nephew.
[Look at how far your uncle is willing to go for your love life, Ji Yun.]
Luo Wei Tian nodded. He could see that Shen Ji Yun was indeed a good kid. He was glad that, aside from Bai Ze and Xiao Jin, there's another person looking out for Xiao Yan in that game.
Speaking of that game, he turned to Shen Yi Mu. "By the way, Xiao Shen, does your game still need investors?"
"Is Brother Luo interested in investing?"
"If possible, yes."
"What a coincidence. My company is planning a new project. We haven't finalized the investors yes. If Brother Luo is willing, then, shall we talk more about the details?"
Luo Wei Tian put down his wine glass and said, "Good."
