Chapter 1509: Chapter 1509: Do You Even Like My Daughter
But seeing Xu Ke and Keyi stand together, the two matching so well, he felt like an unnecessary third wheel. What should he do? At this moment, Yang Tianzhen was like a lost fawn.
"You’re so outstanding, are you really not better than Keyi? Do you have to lose to her in everything? Isn’t it a bit too disgraceful?"
Yu Hao kept trying to persuade him, and upon hearing this, Yang Tianzhen thought it was true. He excelled in everything compared to Keyi, so why was it so difficult to win the heart of someone he liked? At this moment, Yang Tianzhen seemed to have figured everything out.
He suddenly stood up and walked toward the stage, while Yang Tian, who was discussing with others, saw his daughter walking to the stage. His mind seemed to freeze; what was his daughter doing?
After getting on stage, Yang Tianzhen felt dizzy, but his eyes were fixed only on Xu Ke.
If he didn’t fight for it this time, he might lose happiness forever. No matter what, he wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
"Wait a minute!"
He shouted loudly, causing everyone to be stunned. What was Yang Tianzhen doing? Didn’t he know it was someone’s birthday party? And right now, it seemed rather inappropriate.
Yang Tianzhen, a young lady, not maintaining her elegance, appeared on stage without etiquette, and people might talk behind her back.
At this moment, as Yang Tianzhen rushed up, everyone was watching. Was this behavior by Yang Tianzhen somewhat improper?
Even Old Mr. Xiao found it particularly hard to understand. People always talked favorably about Yang Tianzhen, but now, wasn’t this child damaging her own reputation?
Not understanding, he glanced at the butler nearby, who was clueless too. He always assisted Old Mr. Xiao with major affairs, but truly hadn’t paid attention to these small matters.
Yang Tianzhen was panting heavily, looking at the two holding hands. His heart ached, but he could only suppress the discomfort inside. He knew what he came up to do today.
Keyi was a bit surprised. He had indeed seen this young lady at the last banquet. But why was he here again? Wasn’t he giving up? According to what he knew, Yang Tianzhen cared most about his reputation. If things continue, wouldn’t it stain the Xingyu Group? Wouldn’t President Yang intervene?
But right now, Yang Tian was also confused. What was his daughter doing? Hadn’t she said she gave up? Why was she on stage again? If Old Mr. Xiao found out, how could Xingyu Group continue?
"I know he may not be that important to you, perhaps something you could take or leave, but he’s especially important to me. So I hope you can give him to me; I will cherish him well."
Yang Tianzhen spoke sincerely, but Keyi was stunned. What did he mean by something he could take or leave?
Xu Ke wasn’t something; he was everything in his life. Thinking of this filled him with rage.
"I didn’t expect such words from you. He is never something I can take or leave; he’s everything in my life. I hope Miss Yang can understand."
After finishing, Keyi looked at Xu Ke, and the two exchanged a smile. Yang Tianzhen, however, felt pained by their behavior, but Keyi was right.
He could only look at Xu Ke in confusion: "I really like you. Can you give me a chance? If you give me a chance, I’ll do better than him. I really don’t know what you like about him. He has hurt you countless times before; do you still like him regardless, not willing to give me even one chance?"
"Not only him, haven’t his family hurt you quite a bit too? Even Chairman Xiao disagrees with you two being together. What you’re doing now, what’s the point?"
"How am I inferior to her?"
Yang Tianzhen had been the epitome of a model daughter for many years, never disobeying her family’s wishes. In everyone’s eyes, Yang Tianzhen was practically the ideal child. But today, like a flood beast, all those years of grievances erupted, leaving everyone stunned. Was this really the Yang Tianzhen they knew?
At this moment, even Yang Tian couldn’t hold back.
He hurriedly ran up to the stage, pulling his daughter: "What are you saying? Don’t you find it embarrassing with so many people around? If you don’t find it embarrassing, your father does. You’re still young and don’t understand what love is."
After finishing, Yang Tian tried to forcefully pull Yang Tianzhen down, but at this moment, how could Yang Tianzhen possibly step down? He had barely fought for this opportunity, and since he was already embarrassed now, he’d rather embarrass himself openly, what was there to fear?
"Dad, even you find me embarrassing, don’t you? But what’s wrong with pursuing someone I like? Do I have to suppress it all? If it’s like this, isn’t it too unfair to me?"
Upon hearing his daughter, Yang Tian was conflicted. He only had this one daughter and genuinely wanted her to experience the best things. But now, was he really letting his daughter lose everything? Yang Tian couldn’t bear it, but facing everything, he couldn’t act recklessly.
He could only express apologies toward Old Mr. Xiao, and then his gaze fell on Xu Ke. He really couldn’t understand what was so good about this young man, making two such outstanding girls fiercely compete. Even younger Yang Tian had never experienced such treatment.
"Do you like my daughter? If you do, I’ll maintain my previous offer: I’ll give you the entire Xingyu Group, whatever you desire, as long as you love my daughter?"
These words spoken by the Xingyu Group’s chairman signified offending Old Mr. Xiao, so Yang Tian took a bold step for his daughter.
At that moment, those below couldn’t help but sigh; how dearly did Yang Tian love his daughter? He was willing to risk the entire family fortune, which had been built by three generations together.
If given to others, this fortune could undoubtedly change one’s life entirely, but to Xu Ke, it wasn’t his possession. It was optional, so he firmly shook his head.
Originally, everyone thought Xu Ke would choose the huge Xingyu Group, but unexpectedly, Xu Ke refused. At that moment, it was somewhat heartbreaking; if it was them, they’d surely accept on the spot. This offer was public and proven, and obtaining it would be enough to change many things.
