Chapter 1100: Chapter 1143: Eve of the CelebrationIn the evening, everyone made a special trip to visit Su Yiyiâs father, and they were highly respectful towards him. Despite his past as a gambling addict and his poverty, he was still Su Yiyiâs father, and they had to show him sufficient respect.
This left Su Yiyiâs father pleasantly surprised and overwhelmed. However, seeing the beautiful women around, he was also worried. He always thought his daughter was very beautiful and hence would be highly favored here, but now he realized that the girls here were each more beautiful than the next, and Su Yiyiâs appearance did not stand out.
However, Li Yifei did not come over, as he had a dinner to attend this evening, which spared Su Yiyiâs father some awkwardness.
Tonight, Su Yiyiâs father enjoyed delicacies he usually didnât have the chance to eat. After dinner, he walked around the garden-like courtyard before returning late to sleep in a room that was like those in a star-rated hotel, feeling as if he were dreaming.
Today, Su Yiyi did not arrange for her father to meet Xu Yingying and Lin Qiongâs parents. It was fine for her father, but there would definitely be issues with Xu Yingying and Lin Qiongâs fathers, so they decided to wait and meet together on Saturday.
On Friday, the Li familyâs house was even busier. The first to arrive were He Fangqingâs parents, specially picked up by her. Her parents were ordinary people working in a government agency without significant authority, especially her father, who was very stubborn and principled. He had never been corrupt or taken advantage of his position, which was exactly why He Fangqing found him challenging.
Li Yifei and He Fangqing went to the airport to pick them up together. Upon seeing Li Yifei, He Fangqingâs mother scrutinized him and smiled, clearly satisfied with him, while her father remained stern and silent.
Once in the car, He Fangqing sat in the front while her parents sat in the back. Finally, her father spoke.
"Do you know Fangqing has been divorced before?"
Li Yifei immediately responded, "Yes, uncle, I am aware."
"Then, with your conditions, what kind of girl could you not find? Why choose our Fangqing?" He Fangqingâs father did not like these wealthy individuals. He preferred his daughter to marry a sincere, ordinary man. His previous son-in-law appeared too slick, which made him uneasy.
Li Yifei replied with a smile, "Itâs all about fate. Fangqing and I get along well, and we have a great relationship. I donât care if Fangqing has been married before. I only know that she likes me now and wants to be with me, and thatâs enough."
"Do you intend to marry Fangqing?"
"Yes."
"Would you be willing to joint own the family assets as shared property with your spouse?"
He Fangqingâs mother immediately said, "You old man, why bring this up?" But she was eyeing Li Yifei, indicating that this matter was very important to her. Whether a man is willing to spend money on a woman signifies his affection, and in the case of a wealthy person, his willingness to share his assets even more so illustrates the sincerity of his intentions to marry.
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Everything I own will be shared with Fangqing. When we marry, I will certainly follow what uncle and aunt suggest."
"Are you just saying this?" He Fangqingâs father followed up.
Li Yifei earnestly responded, "Uncle and aunt, without a stable family, no matter how great the achievements, itâs not a success. I will never part from Fangqing in this lifetime, so whatâs mine is Fangqingâs."
He Fangqingâs parents were finally satisfied with Li Yifeiâs answer.
Most importantly, Li Yifei gave a very reliable impression, absolutely not like the previous one, making He Fangqingâs father feel uneasy.
Upon reaching Li Yifeiâs mansion, He Fangqingâs parents were astounded. Although they knew Li Yifei was wealthy, they had never imagined to what extent; it was beyond their imagination.
After settling He Fangqingâs parents, Li Yifei went to pick up Song Lianyaoâs parents, who were businesspeople owning a small factory with assets worth a few million. Businesspeople tend to be more tactful, and given Li Yifeiâs wealth, they showed a flattering attitude, making them much easier to deal with. After seeing the Li familyâs mansion, both were eager for Song Lianyao to marry Li Yifei immediately, and after settling them, Song Lianyao told her parents that her close friend, Li Xinyue, was also following Li Yifei.
This left Song Lianyaoâs parents somewhat disappointed, yes, just disappointed, not angry. If they only had a daughter and Li Yifei was an orphan, they could have considered this place half their home in the future. Now with others involved, they couldnât do so.
Song Lianyao mentioned Li Xinyue precisely because she knew her parents were quite snobbish. If she didnât let them know early, they would easily get suspicious, and since Li Xinyue was her close friend, her parents would more readily accept her.
These people had arrived early, and Li Yifei did not accompany them that evening. Although he really had no engagements tonight, dining with anyone would still be problematic, so he simply hid away, deciding to deal with everything tomorrow.
Saturday, the day before Li Yifeiâs grand housewarming celebration, all the family relatives were due to arrive today, otherwise, someone would miss the ceremony scheduled for eight oâclock tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon, several key figures finally arrived. First were the Ye family members with the Old Master of the Ye Family personally attending, besides Ye Yunzhuâs parents and the young girl, Zhou Xiaoyue.
Li Yifei had just welcomed them when Suâs Third Eldest, the old men from Xiao and Zheng Families also arrived, bringing along several other important members of their families.
The Old Master of the Ye Family was already a notable figure, but compared to these three families, he was somewhat less significant.
What made Li Yifei somewhat uneasy was that in addition to these three families, a significant family from the Capital City had also arrived, comprising Ning Xinâerâs family, with the Ning Familyâs Old Master, her parents, and several other key Ning family members attending.
Suâs Third Eldest clapped Li Yifeiâs shoulder and chuckled, "I say, kid, you stood me up last time, so this time I brought the Ning family too. You eloped with their daughter, letâs see how they settle this with you."
Li Yifei knew Grandpa Ning and approached him with an awkward greeting, "Hello, Grandpa Ning."
Grandpa Ning glared and snapped, "Humph! You scoundrel, eloping with my granddaughter, and you still dare to address me like that? Believe it or not, I could smack your ear!"
Li Yifei hurriedly replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, if hitting me eases your anger, go ahead."
"Humph, you think I wouldnât hit you?" Grandpa Ning, a former high-ranking military officer, still carried an imposing aura, and raised his hand menacingly but eventually patted Li Yifei on the shoulder.
"Grandpa!" Ning Xinâer approached at that moment.
"You little rascal, thatâs really inappropriate," Grandpa Ning scolded Ning Xinâer, but his eyes softened with affection. Ning Xinâer had always been his most beloved granddaughter, and he had missed her greatly during the years they saw little of each other.
"Grandpa, Iâm wrong, please donât be mad," she pleaded.
"If I were truly mad at you, youâd be long gone by now. Whereâs my great-granddaughter? Bring her here for me to see."
Ning Xinâer quickly brought over Little Yifei. The Ning family members crowded around, confusing the little girl slightly, but fortunately, she was now used to having many grandparents around, and she wasnât shy.
Suâs Third Eldest patted Li Yifeiâs shoulder again and winked, "Kid, youâre really something now. You eloped with their daughter, and they donât even make a fuss about it. If it were someone else, the Ning family wouldâve chopped him up and fed him to the turtles by now."
Li Yifei understood that the Ning familyâs current amiable attitude likely resulted from his recent interactions with several senior officials. Now a highly sought-after figure, these prominent families wouldnât want to miss such an opportunity.
Watching the camaraderie between Li Yifei and Suâs Third Eldest made members of the Xiao and Zheng Families envious. If only they hadnât made poor decisions before, their relationships might not have been as close as Suâs Third Eldestâs, but it would have been much closer than othersâ. Now, because Ning Xinâer had given birth to Li Yifeiâs first child, the Ning family had become closer to Li Yifei than they were.
Li Yifei led the guests around his estate, and even these prominent families couldnât help but admire Li Yifeiâs home. These influential families could easily establish such a home without much effort, but doing so could attract a lot of criticism, unlike Li Yifei who did it with ease and grace.
The only families now missing were Li Xinyueâs and Michelleâs. Li Xinyue originally didnât want her family to come, as she felt strong aversion towards them. But for such a grand event, it would be inappropriate if her family didnât attend. After some discussion, Li Yifei decided to invite Li Xinyueâs family. Even if her stepmother was not very nice and her brother was somewhat scoundrelly, Li Yifei had many ways to deal with them if they crossed the line.
As for Michelleâs parents, Li Yifei had not had much contact with them, meeting them only twice before. He planned to personally pick them up later. As the only woman close to Li Yifei besides his wife, he was determined to ensure that Michelle would enter the Li family in full glory.
