The two of them settled into the coffee shop, with a driver whose stomach was faintly aching seated nearby.
"One original-flavor coffee! Thank you!" Chen Mo said as he looked at the menu.
"One soda water," Shen Boyu said.
"Would the two of you like anything else?" the waiter asked.
"No," Shen Boyu said.
After the waiter had walked away, Shen Boyu looked at Chen Mo and said directly, "I'm Shen Boyu—Tingting's father!"
"Oh! Hello, Uncle!" Chen Mo could only act a little more properly. Since Shen Boyu had stated it so directly, Chen Mo had to show him sufficient respect.
Shen Boyu had not expected this young man to be quite decent. Sitting before him, he was neither servile nor overbearing, and his answers were crisp and straightforward. More importantly, this young man was very polite.
If it had not been for Shi Jiazheng, Shen Boyu truly would have wanted Tingting to spend more time with this young man and see how things went. But now, it was too late to say anything. He and the Shi family had long since reached an agreement.
The waiter brought over the coffee and soda water. The two of them each took a sip without saying a word.
Once the waiter had gone far enough away, Shen Boyu finally said, "I asked you here today mainly because I want you to leave my Tingting!"
"Leave her? Uncle, you mean...?" Chen Mo had long guessed this would be the issue, but he had not expected Shen Boyu to be so direct and decisive.
"That's right! Exactly what you think. Leave Shen Tingting, and there will naturally be benefits for you! Whether you want money, a job, or even a position within the system, I can arrange it all for you!" Shen Boyu said.
