Chapter 933 - 381: It’s All Gou Lie’s Fault! (Part 2)

"That hasn’t stopped you from showing off, has it!"Pan Ge’s words exposed her mother’s hypocrisy, almost earning her a slap.

But once she hid behind Han Lie, Lady Zhao had no more tricks up her sleeve.

"Just you wait! I want to see how long Little Lie can protect you!"

Pan Ge pouted and made a face.

Ever since Han Lie came into the family, her status at home plummeted. Now, it’s developed to the point where she couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to get along with her own mom...

Zhao Anni was warmly chatting with Han Lie about this and that, while Aunty was preparing the meal. Just before it was time to eat, Panzi rushed back.

"Why are you here again?!"

The moment he came back, he didn’t have a kind face for Han Lie, his eyes full of deep suspicion.

He’s been fooled too much!

A son-in-law is fine and all, but he’s just 20 this year. At this rate, my collection won’t even last three years...

With a bright smile, Han Lie said, "Look at what you’re saying, can’t I come back to see you if I miss you? With my devotion, shouldn’t I at least come back every week to have a drink with you?"

"No, no, no!"

Panzi knew Han Lie too well, waving his hands in alarm: "Just tell me what you want, the more you sweet-talk me, the more scared I get..."

See! I told you he’s difficult to deal with!

Han Lie said no more and gave Pan Ge a look, then the little darling sprung into action.

With a physical assault.

She leapt forward and clung onto Panzi’s neck, her voice sticky with coquetry.

"Dad~~~~~~~~~~"

Panzi couldn’t hold out any longer, showing a look of both pain and joy—this was his kryptonite, there’s no helping it!

"What’s the matter, what’s the matter, just tell me!"

Pan Ge had a strategy as well, fully deserving of her nickname, Black-hearted White Lotus.

She feinted first: "Dad~~~ Look at Mom! She always criticizes our house, never lets me make decisions, always treats me like a kid!"

Upon hearing his daughter complain about her mother... or rather, her empress, Panzi instantly caved.

"Your mom’s only looking out for you two, she wouldn’t do you harm, right? Having disagreements is normal, you mother and daughter should discuss it slowly... Little Lie and I can only be your support, you guys have to make the decisions, right?"

It made some sense, but Pan Ge wasn’t intending to be reasonable: "I don’t care! Do you love me or not?"

"I..."

Panzi wanted to act tough, but after a side glance at the cross-armed Zhao Anni, he just couldn’t muster it.

Men, once in middle age, facing a still beautiful wife...

Ahem, those who know will understand.

Without much hesitation, Panzi made his choice between his daughter and wife.

"Of course, love! Anything but this, we can discuss!"

Faced with a dilemma, Pan Ge pouted, suddenly holding out her small hand before him.

"Alright, I won’t make it hard for you! Then give me some money! Lie Lie and I discussed it and we want to buy some good wine to stock the wine cellar, but I don’t want him to spend any more money."

Such a solid reason, even Zhao Anni found it reasonable.

Annie smiled warmly: "Sure, that’s a genuine need. Old Pan, transfer the money to the kids, we really can’t let Little Lie spend from his own pocket anymore!"

Panzi waved his hand generously: "Oh, it’s just buying wine, right? How much do you need? Daddy will transfer it to you tomorrow... By the way, if you find quality wine like a vintage ’75 Flying, you have to help daddy replenish the stock..."

You’re dreaming!

A gleam of mischief flashed in Pan Ge’s big eyes, and she said: "Not much... Just give me two billion first!"

Ha?!

"How how how much?!"

Panzi’s jaw nearly hit the floor, the whole of him in distress.

Daughter, are you trying to drain me?

Pan Ge didn’t care if her dad’s little treasury dried up; after all, the money would be spent on our marital home, for me and Lie Lie.

She started counting on her fingers: "We plan to build a 400 square meter temperature-controlled wine cellar in the basement, to store at least 5000 bottles of top-tier wines.

Champagne, white wine, and whiskey are pretty cheap, but red wine?

Lafite hasn’t increased much lately, but Romanée-Conti has soared, collecting a hundred bottles of the high-end stuff, we need at least 50 million, right?

Add on vintage wines from the top five châteaux, not easy to collect, but wouldn’t it seem unprofessional if we didn’t?

Anyway, at least 1.5 billion, leaving a 50 million budget for us to attend auctions later..."

Panzi’s vision went dark, his head buzzing.

"This isn’t asking for wine, you’re seeking a debt! All of dad’s money is invested with Little Han, where am I supposed to pull 2 billion from?"

Pan Ge didn’t pursue, instead, she turned and signaled to Han Lie again.

The dog man started to persuade: "Sweetie, don’t fuss, I already said I’ll handle the money. It’s hard to move company funds, but I have ways, it’s just 2 billion, don’t bother our dad, alright!"

A chuckle escaped from Zhao Anni.

She realized the pair of kids was targeting Panzi today.

Shaking her head, she didn’t intervene and walked toward the kitchen.

The one being extorted was Pan Shengwu, what does this have to do with me, Zhao Anni?!

Upon hearing "our dad," Panzi should have been elated, but instead, he felt overwhelmed, his lips trembling.

Don’t call me dad! I’m Pan Ge’s dad, not your dad!

Then Pan Ge, just in time, let go of his arm, sighed, and with a dejected look, walked back to Han Lie’s side.

"Alright then, sigh..."

The sigh made Panzi’s blood flow backwards in distress.
