Chapter 1021: Chapter 1062: This Son-in-Law is So PowerfulXu Yingyingâs parents took Little Yifei to the neighboring room of Lin Qiongâs parents. Seeing how adorable Little Yifei was, Lin Qiongâs parents also couldnât help adoring her. They knew this child was born to Li Yifeiâs former girlfriend, and they admired the Xu Zhenguo coupleâs magnanimity for accepting this child into their family.
But now, seeing Little Yifei, they felt the child was truly too cute, and if they were in that position, they too would have accepted this granddaughter.
After a night of reflection, the Xu Zhenguo couple had also cooled down. Xu Zhenguo didnât want to let the friendship with his old military comrade fracture, so he patted Lin Qiongâs fatherâs shoulder and said, "Hey, Old Lin, the young peopleâs matters are their own, weâre old war buddies who have been through years together, we canât let our feelings be damaged over these kids."
Lin Qiongâs father sighed and said, "I donât want to either, but I canât help feeling a bit stubborn about it. If it wasnât for my Little Qiong, none of this would have happened."
"Let it be, donât think too much. Young people at this time tend to be impulsive; after a while, once everyone has calmed down, theyâll settle down."
Lin Qiongâs father said, "Hopefully itâll be like that, but Old Xu, I have a question for you, am I really not supposed to resent that boy Yifei?"
Xu Zhenguo chuckled and replied, "The fault does lie with him, so how can we not resent him? But Yingying likes him, Little Qiong likes him too. No matter who he ends up with, wonât he still be close to us? So if we become estranged from him now, weâre the ones who will end up embarrassed in the end."
Lin Qiongâs father shook his head and remarked, "You really are open-minded. But that lad really has some skills. Look at Yingying and Little Qiong, theyâve got looks and careers. They could have any man they wanted, yet theyâre both hung up on him, like moths to a flame."
"You just donât understand how special Yifei is. Heâs a special forces soldier and remarkably capable. Little Qiongâs rapid rise from the start of her police career was with Yifeiâs help. How could she not have feelings for him?"
"What?" Lin Qiongâs father immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"You didnât know? Yifei and Lin Qiongâs acquaintance began because Yifei helped Little Qiong with a case. And in a few dangerous cases, he saved her, which helped her crack big cases and climb the ranks."
Lin Qiongâs father frowned and said, "Why didnât that boy mention any of this to me when he came over last night?"
Xu Zhenguo explained, "I do understand Yifei a bit. He wants to take all the responsibility on himself, not wanting you to blame Little Qiong."
"That boy..." Lin Qiongâs fatherâs eyes carried an indescribable sentiment.
"Hehe... Actually, to tell you the truth, I really admire this kid."
"Ha... Now look at you, Old Xu, praising this lad non-stop. Arenât you afraid Iâll encourage my daughter to snatch your son-in-law?"
Xu Zhenguo narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright then, Old Lin, youâve always been competitive with me in the army. Weâve never acknowledged defeat to each other, and we havenât competed in many years. Competing for a son-in-law now, that indeed would be interesting."
Lin Qiongâs father chuckled and remarked, "Wouldnât that put you at a disadvantage? Yifei and your daughter have already registered their marriage."
"Thatâs just my daughter getting a head start, which in plain terms means she got lucky. If you, Old Lin, want to compete, your daughter will have to put in some extra effort."
The two shared a glance and then burst into hearty laughter. Cherishing their friendship as old comrades-in-arms, they understood that this matter could easily destroy their bond. So they resolved the potential crisis through this banter, undeniably untangling the knot in each otherâs hearts.
Behind them, Xu Shanshan then chimed in with a grin, "Thatâs right, my brother-in-law is so incredible. Itâs only natural that Lin Qiong likes him."
Lin Qiongâs father smiled and prompted, "Then tell me, how exactly is your brother-in-law impressive?"
Xu Shanshan said proudly, "Iâll just mention a few things. A while back, my sister got hurt by people from the Japanese Yamaguchi Group..."
"What? When did this happen?" Xu Zhenguo immediately widened his eyes.
Xu Shanshan stuck out her tongue and replied, "At that time, we were worried it would worry you, so we didnât tell you. Anyway, my sister is fine now, so thereâs no need for you to be so shocked. Now, the main point is, back then, my brother-in-law alone went to Japan to seek revenge on the Yamaguchi Group."
"What? Went alone to Japan, to the Yamaguchi Group?" At this, both Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiongâs father exclaimed in shock. They had some awareness of what the Yamaguchi Group was â seeking revenge alone against them was like courting death.
"Yes, exactly. Those bastards from the Yamaguchi Group dared to hurt my sister. Could my brother-in-law just let that slide? He went there alone and took down several of their branches, eliminated everyone in those branches, then went after the head of the Yamaguchi Group and actually killed him, returning without a scratch."
Xu Zhenguo and Lin Qiongâs father took a while to recover their senses. Xu Zhenguo said, "Shanshan, youâre not just bragging, are you?"
"Thereâs nothing to brag about. You guys donât know how powerful my brother-in-law really is. My brother-in-law is the strongest in our countryâs most elite special forces. No one in the world can beat my brother-in-law."
"That canât be that impressive," Xu Zhenguo glanced at his daughter skeptically.
"How can it not be impressive? My brother-in-law has a classmate who used to be a Township Chief. With just a phone call from my brother-in-law, his classmate got promoted to Deputy County Head and will soon become the Director of the City Education Bureau. And all this happened in less than a year. Take Lin Qiong, for instance, she went from a junior police officer to Deputy Director of a Sub-bureau. Itâs all thanks to my brother-in-lawâs influence. Otherwise, do you really think Lin Qiong could have been promoted so quickly?"
Lin Qiongâs father was truly puzzled by this. Being part of the Public Security System himself, he understood how many years it took for a junior officer to become a Deputy Director, not to mention the connections needed. And climbing from Deputy Director to Director was even harder. Lin Qiong had been promoted smoothly in such a short time, sometimes he even wondered if he was dreaming.
Now, he finally understood that it was all thanks to Li Yifei. With such a supporter behind her, Lin Qiong could be promoted smoothly.
"Old Xu, you have really struck gold," said Lin Qiongâs father, looking enviously at Xu Zhenguo.
Xu Zhenguo immediately replied modestly, "Old Lin, itâs not certain yet, that treasure might become part of your family."
Lin Qiongâs mother and Xu Yingyingâs mother had been playing with Little Yifei but were also listening to the conversation. They were astonished by what Xu Shanshan had revealed. They had never imagined Li Yifei to be such a powerful person. Especially Xu Yingyingâs mother, who had always thought Li Yifei was just an ordinary soldier reentering civilian life and believed her daughter was doing Li Yifei a favor by marrying him. She now realized her son-in-law actually had such great influence, and that her daughter was the lucky one.
"Grandma, letâs go out and play, Iâll take you to see our new house," Little Yifei tugged at Xu Yingyingâs motherâs hand and said in a babyish voice.
"New house, what new house? Did you buy a new house?" Xu Yingyingâs mother asked, puzzled.
Xu Shanshan said with a giggle, "Letâs go have a look, youâll find out when we get there."
Xu Zhenguo and the others quickly got ready and followed Xu Shanshan out the door. Now their curiosity about Li Yifei had grown even more, and Xu Shanshanâs mystique only heightened their interest.
Xu Shanshan drove them to the Garden Villa. Half a month had passed, and the main structures were mostly complete, except for a few new villas that were still under construction. The garden was also taking shape, with pavilions, gardens, and fishponds all built, just awaiting final touches.
"Shanshan, why are you bringing us to a park?" Xu Yingyingâs mother got out of the car and asked in confusion.
Xu Shanshan burst into laughter, and Little Yifei excitedly said, "Grandma, Grandpa, this is our new home."
"New... home?" Xu Zhenguo and the others exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, this is our new home," Xu Shanshan confirmed. "Come in and take a look. You all can live here too. Later on, you can play chess, go fishing, or even play golf together. The air is great here, and the scenery is beautiful."
Xu Zhenguo and the others were dumbfounded, not even realizing Xu Shanshan was suggesting that they all move in, not just one family.
"Miss Xu, hello!" Several gardeners greeted Xu Shanshanâthey would be working and living on the property and recognized her.
Xu Shanshan smiled slightly and said, "Carry on with your work, weâre just having a look around."
"Yes!" The gardeners respectfully stepped aside and resumed their work.
Meanwhile, Xu Yingyingâs mother looked at Xu Shanshan and said, "Theyâre very respectful towards you."
Xu Shanshan replied proudly, "Of course, Iâm the owner of this house. If theyâre not respectful, theyâll be fired."
With a new home to show off and not many chances to do so, Little Yifei eagerly said, "Grandma, Grandma, thereâs a little stream here with lots of fish in it. Oh, and Shanshan Mom, Dad said heâll put some pretty big fish in there. Are they there yet?"
Xu Shanshan laughed, "They should be. Letâs go have a look."
As Xu Shanshan led everyone through the estate, she pointed out various facilities, leaving Xu Zhenguo and the others stunned. The vastness and beauty of the area were incredible, comparable to the legendary Suzhou Gardens. Living here would indeed be the ultimate luxury.
