Chen Cheng walked to the entryway to change his shoes, then turned back to look at the somewhat unhappy Zhu Shanshan, "Oh, right, regarding the two apartments I asked your Store Manager Xu to find, you can choose one of them according to your own preferences."

"Huh?"

"Huh what?" Chen Cheng tapped her forehead, "It's for you, silly girl."

"For me?" Zhu Shanshan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Me?

Chen Cheng chuckled helplessly; this girl really was a bit dim.

But since she was his first blood, Chen Cheng still had a little sense of responsibility.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

Even after Chen Cheng walked out the door, Zhu Shanshan still hadn't snapped out of it.

After a long while.

"Ahhhhhhh~~~~~"

"I'm going to have a house!!!!"

She finally howled in excitement.

Zhu Shanshan's family home was small. Since she was a child, she had slept on a wooden board hanging on the wall that could be folded up during the day. She had lived like that right up until she earned enough commission to move out.

That's why she had a nickname: Closet Princess.

Just like Zhu Suosuo, her biggest dream in life was to have a home of her own.

As she screamed, tears started streaming down Zhu Shanshan's face.

On Chen Cheng's side, he had Eleven find a restaurant located between him and Zou Yu.

In the end, Chen Cheng arrived first.

He ordered a luxury private room and sat on the sofa, scrolling through the news while waiting for Zou Yu and Li Na.

Chen Cheng chuckled. This old bastard was ruthless; he had already contacted a legal aid lawyer.

He was preparing to sue Li Na.

Zou Yu didn't have a car, and although Li Na did, she hadn't driven it, so the two of them took a taxi over.

Eleven led them into the private room.

Zou Yu didn't seem bothered, sitting directly on the sofa.

Li Na, however, stood by the sofa like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to move.

"Oh, why do you care about him?" Seeing her frozen, Zou Yu stood up and pulled her down to sit.

She also haughtily tossed her head toward Chen Cheng, who was sitting on the single sofa.

Chen Cheng glared at her helplessly.

But after two seconds, Scum Cheng's anger dissipated.

Who could blame him when she was so good-looking? Today, Zou Yu was wearing a gray hoodie with a leather jacket over it and tight black jeans.

She raised her eyebrows at Li Na, "Tell us about it?"

A flash of embarrassment crossed Li Na's face. "I can handle it myself."

Chen Cheng shook his head and smiled. "The usually decisive Li Na, suddenly speechless when it comes to her own business?"

Zou Yu glared at the Great Handsome Guy in annoyance, then looked at Li Na, patted her hand, and said softly, "Shall I tell it?"

Hearing Zou Yu's voice, Li Na was pulled back to reality.

She blinked, let out a sigh, and said to Zou Yu, "I'll do it."

She turned her head to look at Chen Cheng and began to speak about the entanglement between her and Li Weizheng.

...

Li Weizheng was indeed her father.

But he was just like the one in Yu Chuhui's family.

When he was young, he was a scoundrel with no marketable skills. Later, he abandoned his wife and daughter and ran off alone with the family assets.

He drifted from place to place, living like a thug.

Now that he was old, no one wanted to associate with him, and having nowhere to turn, he decided to look for his daughter.

Naturally, Li Na didn't want to deal with him.

But she couldn't bring herself to completely disregard appearances.

She treated him to good food and drink for a few days, then gave him some money and bought him a train ticket, telling him to go back to his hometown.

As it turned out, the old bastard wasn't willing; he wanted Li Na to serve him.

He never got on the train; instead, he turned around and snuck into Li Na's home.

In the middle of the night, Li Na couldn't force him out, so she had to leave herself.

She planned to find a hotel to stay in for the time being.

But she had left in such a rush that she left her ID card at home.

Just as she was wondering what to do, she ran into Zou Yu, who lived nearby and was just returning home from work.

Zou Yu saw her distress and brought her back to her own place.

Zou Yu's place was a two-bedroom apartment she rented with her sister.

That night, she slept in the same bed as Li Na, and the two talked a lot.

Their relationship grew even closer.

Now they were practically best friends.

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Zou Yu, feeling both amused and helpless. "He refused to leave, so you helped Li Na come up with a plan to sell the apartment?"

Zou Yu nodded. "Since the conflict couldn't be resolved, we had to shift the focus of the conflict."

"If we don't make a scene, this old man won't quit."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched; you're pretty ruthless too. "How is it now? You underestimated the old man, didn't you?"

Zou Yu's expression froze; she had indeed underestimated the old bastard's lack of morals and his ability to throw a tantrum.

Now that the old man had dragged marketing accounts and media into this, it was like putting Li Na on the fire to roast.

"It's not Xiaoyu's fault; I agreed to do it," Li Na said, defending Zou Yu.

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her. "Already protecting her."

Zou Yu didn't back down and rolled her eyes back at him. Chen Cheng's mouth twitched, and he glared at her. "I'll deal with you tonight."

Tonight?

A flush of red immediately appeared on the two women's fair cheeks.

Just as Zou Yu was about to speak, Chen Cheng's phone rang.

Chen Cheng picked it up and saw it was Karen.

He hung up directly and switched to the green bubble app.

Sure enough, Karen had forwarded him a Weibo link.

Clicking in, Chen Cheng saw a cover image of the white-haired old bastard sitting on a hospital bed.

You have to admit, with this image paired with the title 'A Father's Tearful Accusation Against His Own Daughter,' it was definitely guaranteed to grab attention.

He looked up at Li Na, hit play, and placed the phone on the coffee table facing both of them.

Both of their gazes immediately focused on the video.

"You all be the judge. Why can't a father live in his own daughter's house?"

"Can you tell us about the specific situation?"

"Sigh, you don't know, my daughter is extremely vain."

"Ever since she came to the big city, she hasn't contacted me."

"She even changed her name. She used to be called Li Xiaona, and she removed the 'Xiao' character. How was I supposed to find her?"

"It's not that I abandoned her; it's that she changed her name herself. She was hiding from me."

As he spoke, the old bastard started to sound like he was crying. "I finally found her after so much trouble."

"She treats me with nothing but disdain, giving me a hard time in every way."

"She's terrified that her colleagues will find out she has a father like me."

"As the old saying goes, 'a dog never minds its owner's poverty.'"

"I may not have any skills, but I am her biological father."

"And she? She eats well and uses nice things. When she washes her face, she has to use some kind of device, but me?"

"What about her father?"

"Her father is sleeping on the streets, begging, struggling in the depths of misery."

"Friends, you tell me, is there any daughter who acts like this?"

"..."

Chen Cheng's eyes widened; the old man was a talent.

That tearful performance was truly spectacular.

The onlookers who watched this video probably couldn't wait to spit on Li Na or throw rotten eggs at her.

After the video finished playing, Li Na was expressionless, appearing exceptionally calm, whereas Zou Yu was gnashing her teeth in anger.

Chen Cheng glanced at Li Na. "How do you plan to handle this? The hard way or the soft way?"

Zou Yu spoke up first. "What do you mean by the soft way, and what do you mean by the hard way?"

Chen Cheng sighed. "The soft way: Li Na grits her teeth and swallows the bitterness, satisfying the old man's demands."

"The hard way: Since he's looking for reporters to hold a press conference and doxx Li Na, we give him a taste of his own medicine."

After saying this, Chen Cheng added, "Of course, regardless of whether you choose the soft or hard way, in the end, Li Na cannot escape her legal obligation to support him."
