Chapter 238: Chapter 174 Father, You Don’t Understand Brian at All! (First Subscription Bonus +3)

Susan’s home wasn’t in downtown Los Angeles but in Newport Beach City, a small city in Los Angeles County located along the eastern coastline of the Pacific Ocean.

This small city was considered one of the wealthiest coastal cities in the whole of California, and even in the United States.

Newport Beach city boasted year-round sunshine and had Balboa Peninsula as a natural barrier, making the inner sea calm. Whether going out to sea for fishing or playing on yachts was very comfortable.

Of course, Susan’s house wasn’t a manor villa in Newport Beach City but an entire artificial island in the inner sea.

Note, an entire one!

And this place was only for the leisure of Susan’s parents and some of her father’s old friends.

Indeed, Susan didn’t even know how many fixed properties her family owned globally; she never paid attention to these matters and seldom used her family’s resources.

It wasn’t until after 9:00 PM that the two arrived at the harbor.

A speedboat had been waiting there already.

"Hey, Susan, it’s been a long time since you’ve been back," the speedboat driver, a middle-aged Black man, grinned and curiously sized up Brian.

"Uncle Harry, long time no see."

Susan greeted him warmly, pointing at Brian, "This is my boyfriend, Brian. Brian, this is Harry, who used to work with my father. They both took early retirement because of some incidents."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Harry."

Brian greeted him with a timid smile.

"Nice young man."

Harry nodded and focused on driving the speedboat.

Brian couldn’t help but feel that Harry’s gaze toward him carried a hint of pity.

..

The harbor wasn’t far from the island.

About ten minutes later.

The three of them landed on the island.

Passing through a garden that made Brian feel vaguely uneasy, they arrived at a chain of buildings sprawling over a cliff by the seaside, the end of which was not visible at first glance.

Brian looked at Susan, conveying his thoughts telepathically. Wasn’t it supposed to be just your family and some of your father’s old friends here?

Susan’s brows flicked, understanding immediately, "Plus some security personnel my father trained. The ocean is vast and though the probability of Mutant Beast spawning is low, their numbers add up. Otherwise, why do you think the NW organization formed an armed branch..."

During the conversation.

A singing and dancing bonfire party appeared before Brian.

There were too many people.

Men and women, young and old, along with a bunch of kids...

Listening to Susan’s introductions, Brian numbly followed along, greeting and acknowledging people.

In a daze.

Susan took Brian’s right hand, pulling him up to a handsome middle-aged couple, "Dad, mom, this is my boyfriend, Brian."

Then, she introduced them to Brian, "This is my father, you can call him Dean, and this is my mother, Nell."

The beautiful woman, after giving the tall, handsome Brian a glance, nodded in approval, "Susan, very nice. Your boyfriend looks tall and handsome. I’m glad you took the initiative to find someone."

In front of her parents, Susan, who did not carry herself with the same air as she did outside, bashfully lowered her head.

To be honest,

she herself didn’t know how she ended up with Brian, this shameless jerk.

She used to hate this kind of person the most!

It was all because he was too good at pretending, initially acting like a harmless little bunny. By the time she realized, she couldn’t let go.

"Thank you for the compliment, beautiful lady."

Seeing that his mother-in-law was easy to talk to, Brian shamelessly buttered her up:

"I’ve always wondered who could raise someone like Susan, who combines beauty and talent into an angelic human being.

Until I saw you, I understood what heritage means.

I think Susan must have inherited her father’s bravery and determination, and her mother’s beauty and forthrightness, for God to have sent such a wonderful girl my way."

Susan gave Brian a disdainful look.

Too cheesy.

Her mother, however, quite enjoyed it and covered her mouth as she giggled.

At that moment, the previously silent handsome middle-aged man waved Brian over, "Young man, to welcome you, I’ve specially taken out my prized wine, care for a drink?"

"No problem!"

Brian, looking at this man, inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

How to put it?

It was the familiarity of like meeting like, the scoundrel recognizing another scoundrel, a kind of repellence among their own kind...

Dean watched the young pretty boy in front of him, feeling very annoyed.

The guy reminded him of his younger self the moment he started talking.

Hitting on his daughter, huh?

Let’s see if you can leave peacefully today!

Seeing this,

Susan’s mother, pulling Susan along, joined the barbecue line in front, leaving the two men alone.

Before leaving, Susan blatantly cheered Brian on with a fist pump, irking her old father even more.

Every father probably fears no one wanting his little cabbage and also fears the cabbage being stolen by a boar.

...

Susan and others left.

Now, it was a battlefield for the two men.

Brian had felt apprehensive before coming, but once he was here, he was not scared at all; he directly grabbed a bottle of strong liquor, tore off the cap, and guzzled it down in front of Susan’s father.

He casually tossed aside the empty bottle and exhaled a strong alcoholic breath without changing his expression, "This wine’s alright, a bit weak though, almost something to rinse the mouth with. Don’t you have something stronger?"

Dean raised his eyebrows: This kid, so arrogant!
