Eunha had brought Sehun home.
"Mom! Dad!" Li Huiran showed up at the stairs first and Bai Jiawei followed. Eunha had told Li Huiran about her plan and her mother had agreed, so Li Huiran wasn't very surprised to see Sehun.
Meanwhile, Bai Jiawei had frozen at the top of the stairs with a grave expression.
"Sehun is here!" Li Huiran walked down the stairs quickly and pulled Eunha and Sehun into the living room. Although Li Huiran wasn't extremely happy with Eunha's choice either, she also thought that her daughter's idea was pretty good.
Instead of dating the son of a rich family, it was more safe to date a normal person that had potential. Plus, Eunha technically wasn't related to the "He" family in any way. To outsiders, she wasn't going to inherit anything from the KIm Corporation.
Therefore, it was unlikely for a rich family to let their son marry Eunha anyway, so Sehun was their best choice at the moment.
Bai Jiawei slowly walked down the stairs one step at a time, and his expression turned more and more ugly the closer he got.
Sehun gulped and squeezed out a smile, "Auntie Li, I bought some gifts for this visit. Please accept them."
"Oh, you didn't have to," Li Huiran smiled and politely received the bags.
Bai Jiawei had reached the first floor as he crossed his arms and said, "You didn't have to. It's not like we can't buy those ourselves."
". . ." There was an awkward silence after Bai Jiawei spoke until Li Huiran broke it by laughing. She walked over to Bai Jiawei and lightly bumped him on the shoulder.
"Jiawei, it's okay. Even if you don't like him, at least give our Eunha some face. It's her guest, after all."
Bai Jiawei frowned but didn't say anything as he walked over to the couch and sat down. The three of them followed.
"Why did you bring this guy home?" Bai Jiawei asked Eunha with an unhappy expression.
Eunha quickly ran over and sat down next to her daddy, gently massaging his back, "Dad, don't treat Zhiming like that. I really like him. Plus, his company is growing. He earned 700 thousand last month."
Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow. To be honest, 700 thousand wasn't that bad, but it still couldn't compare to the Kim Corporation. He wanted Eunha to marry a family that would help them, not a family they would have to assist.
"What are you trying to get to?"
Eunha blushed, "Dad, I want to marry Sehun."
Bai Jiawei jumped up from the couch, "Nonsense! Marry now? Marry him?!"
Sehun's face turned slightly green after hearing Bai Jiawei's words.
"Dad! I'm 24 already, it's time to get married!"
"Well, definitely not with that guy!"
"I'm not marrying anyone else, especially those ugly, fat, and playboy guys from the rich families!"
Although there was a stereotype that the sons of rich and powerful families were handsome, it wasn't always true. In fact, most of the time, it wasn't true.
Most of the sons of rich families didn't work hard and many of them drank and partied often. Most had a large and fat stomach at a young age, and few of them actually looked handsome. Besides that, they also played around with girls often and Eunha definitely didn't want to marry one of them.
"Eunha, not all boys are like that! Don't worry, daddy will find you a good man from a good family that will be ten times better than Sehun."
Of course Eunha didn't believe Bai Jiawei, "Dad! Trust me, Sehun probably has more potential than all those men. His company is already growing and I heard that he is working on a current project that will make millions of dollars."
Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow, "Really?"
"Yes, sir. The estimated revenue is 3.2 million dollars."
Bai Jiawei slightly wavered but he kept his stance, "Eunha, I can find you a man that will make 3.2 million dollars weekly. Listen to me, you will regret it."
[Author's note: Ch! Our male lead, Mr. Jungkook, makes over 10 million dollars a day!]
Eunha shook her head, "Dad, do you want your daughter to be happy or not! I love Sehun and only him! He will treat me so much better than those gross playboys out there!"
Bai Jiawei was about to respond when he heard a voice from the hallway say, "Well, it's quite lively today!"
The sound of high heels clicking against the marble floor grew louder and louder until a figure appeared at the end of the hallway. Lalisa walked in confidently with an amused smile. She hadn't removed her makeup from the shoot, so her hair was curled at the ends and her lips were colored with a bold red lipstick.
Eunha frowned as Sehun turned around to see who it was. A quick sparkle flashed past his eyes when he saw Lalisa. She seemed to have become more beautiful.
Lalisa crossed her arms together and casually threw her handbag onto the table nearby before walking over and sitting down to the other side of Bai Jiawei.
"What's going on?" She asked as she swung her hair to her back, which was extremely seductive in Sehun's eyes.
"Lili, help me persuade your stupid sister! She wants to marry Sehun!" Bai Jiawei said which made Eunha frustrated.
Lalisa raised one eyebrow and smirked, "Why is that a problem? She can marry who she wants."
Sehun immediately slouched back down upon hearing Lalisa's response. He was unconsciously looking forward to Lalisa getting mad or upset about him and Eunha getting married.
"What does that mean?! Lili, you can't follow Eunha's footsteps! We are a high-class family. I am fine with you two marrying who you like, but they should come from a family like us! Although it is unfortunate, your marriages should be able to help the He family and the He Corporation."
Eunha pouted, "But Sehun can help! I know, dad. He isn't rich yet, but doesn't everyone start at some place. Sehun is very talented and his company is already growing! Right, Sehun?"
Sehun didn't seem to hear what Eunha was saying as he stared at Lalisa. How did he not realize? He had never really seen Lalisa with makeup on, and he always thought that would look better with a soft and natural makeup that matched her personality.
However, the hot and smokey makeup today really enhanced her features and made her look even more attractive. In the past, he had thought that Eunha was more sexy and attractive as a woman because of her heavy makeup and daring outfits. Now, he wondered if he was blind? It was obvious that even without makeup on, Lalisa was much prettier than Eun -
"Sehun?!" Eunha asked again with a frown.
"Yes?" Sehun quickly broke out of his stupor and turned to look at Eunha, who pouted.
"Tell my dad about your company."
"Sir, please believe in me. My company is growing really well, and the revenue is very steady. I believe that by the end of this year, Newstart Entertainment will be in the top 100 entertainment companies of Country Z."
Lalisa smiled slyly. The revenue was steady? She was still waiting for her money. . . Maybe it won't be so steady anymore after she got her payment.
Bai Jiawei scoffed, "Top 100? Top 10 would be more acceptable."
"Dad, everyone has to start right. It takes time, but if we help him, it will be able to grow even faster. Maybe with our help, Newstart Entertainment will be able to be in the top 10 by the end of this year! Wouldn't it be nice in the future with people complimenting you for having a good eye for people and finding a hidden treasure!"
Bai Jiawei thought about it and looked forward to a moment like that, but he didn't want to risk it. What if Sehun failed? Then, people would be talking behind his back about how he didn't have a good son-in-law and all things bad about her and Eunha.
"Still, at least wait until he is actually successful before talking about marriage. Why should a family like us let you marry a man that is poor and powerless right now?"
Lalisa knit her eyebrows together before raising one hand casually, "Can I say something?"
