I am not just a tycoon
Chapter 827 482: Coercion, Don't Speak_2

Gu Dongliang said coldly, "It's not your place to oppose what I've decided."

After more than 20 years as father and son, Gu Junchen knew that Gu Dongliang usually appeared well-mannered and polite in front of outsiders, but that was just on the surface. In real work and family matters, he had a domineering personality that often made it hard to breathe.

Putting aside the choice between arts or sciences in high school and the choice of major in college, why did he even have to meddle in marriage?

Gu Junchen was still unwilling: "Why does it have to be her? Your rank is already higher than Zhou Guoqiang's. Even if the two families unite, her father can't help you with anything. So why bother?"

"Shut up!"

Gu Dongliang sternly rebuked, "Useless waste. If she doesn't like you, it shows you lack personal charm. Besides, without me, would you have what you have today? Do you really think you're some outstanding talent? Considering gains and losses for me—I haven't thought about these problems and need you to advise me?"

Gu Junchen was just expressing his opinion, not expecting to be scolded so harshly. His face turned pale and flushed alternately. Even Mother Gu came out to persuade, "Old Gu, don't speak to our son like that. He just doesn't want to be forced, since young people's views on marriage now are different from ours back then."

"You shut up too!"

Gu Dongliang's voice rose higher: "Look at the son you raised—like a coward. Faced with a little setback, he wants to back down. It proves the old saying right: indulgent mothers raise useless sons!"

After speaking, Gu Dongliang strode off, leaving behind a daunting back view for the two of them.

Gu Junchen wasn't too upset about being scolded himself, but when he heard his mom also being scolded like that, he wanted to retort, yet saw Mother Gu silently shaking her head.

Mother Gu had long been used to it. Over the years, this was how they lived. As long as she did anything slightly displeasing to him, it would result in a harsh reprimand.

"Sigh."

Gu Junchen sighed inwardly. Growing up in such a family, he wasn't sure if it was fortunate or sad. Fortunate that he was born with a silver spoon, but sad that from childhood to adulthood, everything was arranged by his strict, demanding father.

Gu Dongliang went back to his room, loosened his tie, sat on the bed, took out his phone, and opened the photo album. His stern expression suddenly softened.

In the album were pictures of Zhou Guoqiang's wife Xu Xiaoyan and his daughter Zhou Peiwei.

"It's easier to get closer as in-laws and daughter-in-law. It's the first time I've seen such a perfect mother-daughter duo. It's a hundred times more exciting than usual appointments."

Gu Dongliang's lips curved into a lewd smile.

....

While Zhou Peiwei was facing a matchmaking dilemma, Shen Yuan was facing the troupe leader Shi Zhixuan.

In close proximity, Shen Yuan increasingly noticed Shi Zhixuan's good skin. Probably due to years of dancing, her pores were invisible to the naked eye, and under the light, her skin glowed as white as milk ice cream.

Especially the snow-white of her chest, so white it made one want to take a bite.

Her figure under the black shapewear, with a proud chest, a slim waist, a perky butt, and straight legs, looked particularly enticing.

PS: Outfit reference

Girls who dance usually have great flexibility, and now two more new skills can be unlocked.

Shen Yuan thought to himself and then asked, "Why don't you go back and think about it?"

Since Shi Zhixuan was there, she must have made up her mind. The reason Shen Yuan was pushing was just to provoke her.

Sure enough, after hearing it, she bit her red lip and asked, "I want to ask, do you have any interest in me at all?"

"Nonsense, if I wasn't interested, I wouldn't have chosen you for the startup base."

Shen Yuan placed his hands on her shoulders: "Out of so many girls on the exam day, why did I specifically pick you five? Don't you know?"

"But....why did you find Aisha that night but not me?"

This was Shi Zhixuan's biggest concern. She always thought she was the best among the three and that Shen Yuan should like her the most, but the reality was that all of them got pushed away by Shen Yuan, except Shen Yuan didn't seem to push her.

She started to doubt her own charm.

"It's a matter of sequence. Just like when eating, I save the best chicken drumstick for last. It's the same with women. The one I want most, I also save for last."

Shen Yuan's hands slid down her shoulders slowly to her arms, feeling the sleek texture of the shapewear, then moved to her slender waist.

"But you need to think clearly: being my woman means you won't have a status. Of course, aside from status, everything else I can give you. You want to start a business, I'll support that. You want to relax as a pampered mistress, that's okay too."

Shi Zhixuan's cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head, "So this means I have to please you, right?"

"That's your own choice. I won't force any woman to please me, but the woman who can make me happy, I'll naturally favor her more."

Shi Zhixuan trembled slightly, "I didn't expect you to be so blunt."

"I'm not this direct with all women, but with you, I feel I can be more realistic."

As Shen Yuan slid his hand down her waist to her back, her dancer's body from years of training was almost devoid of fat, but with great texture nonetheless.

His hand moved downward, feeling her firm, round buttocks, though they were perky, the fat was tight.

It's the best kind because of the pleasant rebound.

Shi Zhixuan tensed up, having been touched by a man like this for the first time ever, especially as Shen Yuan was skillful, his gentle actions made her whole body tingle.

"I'll give you a minute to think clearly and then answer."

Shen Yuan gave the final ultimatum. He couldn't hold back much longer, neither would his second brother agree.

Of course, his hands didn't stop.

When those hands reached further, Shi Zhixuan immediately grasped his hands, embarrassed and angry, "I agree, but I won't please you."

"That's your own problem, but I must remind you that being my woman has competition. You might not want to please me now, but you might think differently later."

After saying that, Shen Yuan chose not to care anymore, taking Shi Zhixuan into the bedroom, and flipping her over, pressing against her full moon.

That would make it easier to manipulate Xue'er.

Shi Zhixuan leaned forward slightly, hands against the wall, too embarrassed to speak, "Wait, I haven't bathed and changed clothes."

"Just shut up. It's this shapewear I want!"

With a ripping sound, Shen Yuan directly tore a hole in the shapewear at the full moon location.

Shi Zhixuan covered her mouth in surprise, "Ah, this...."

"I told you to shut up!"

With a heavy slap, the full moon instantly turned red and continued to shake.

Shi Zhixuan bit her lip, enduring the pain, not speaking, as two tears slowly streamed down.

....

Afterward, it was already 8:30 in the evening. Shi Zhixuan wrapped in a bathrobe, came out from the bathroom, walking slightly uncomfortably, and slipped into the quilt, nervously asking, "Shen Yuan, are you this... brutal with other girls too?"

"Depends on the mood, not necessarily."

Shen Yuan had just seen a message from Zhou Peiwei, his words carried a hint of grievance.

He didn't expect the prospective in-laws to be so clueless. Words were spoken so clearly, yet they still wanted to arrange a family dinner.

Shen Yuan asked Zhou Peiwei to send over the names of that family.

"Do you have a way?" Zhou Peiwei asked on WeChat.

"Yes."

Shen Yuan was now a shareholder of Anke and would attend the shareholders' meeting the next day, where a new round of board elections would take place, so he did have some influence.

"Won't it affect you?"

Zhou Peiwei was only sharing out of pure intention without wanting Shen Yuan to get involved, as his involvement would surely make her and Shen Yuan's matters known to her parents.

"No, it's a small matter."

Usually using artillery to shoot mosquitoes, so at least this time use artillery to catch some big fish.

Even if Zhou Peiwei's parents found out, it wouldn't matter. Given her father's rank in Anke, he'd just have to accept it.

After receiving the two names from Zhou Peiwei, Shen Yuan forwarded them directly to Director Mao of Chenlang Law Firm for a background check, then sent them to Silver Shield Security for a deeper investigation.

Chenlang Law Firm handled the surface-level things, while Silver Shield Security had other avenues that could find things the firm couldn't.

Thinking about Peiwei being troubled by them made Shen Yuan frustrated. He suddenly flung off the quilt and lifted Shi Zhixuan's legs.

"Shen Yuan.... I just finished bathing."

Even though her dancer's physique was good, recovering quickly, the first time couldn't endure such torment.

Shi Zhixuan's face was panic-stricken, unsure of what to do.

"Don't speak, bite your finger."
