Chapter 1102: Chapter 1145: The Mischief-Making Old ChildXu Shanshan winked at Xiao Lingâer and the others, and they all took Little Yifei to play on the side. Matters like these should be handled by the old folks. Their presence here would only make it harder for the elders to save face.
Meanwhile, the three patriarchs from the Xiao Family, Zheng Family, and Ning Family had already moved aside. It was somewhat beneath their dignity to get involved in these affairs, so they let the people of their generation handle it.
But Suâs Third Eldest did not leave; he was the only one from the Su Family who came this time. Su Mengxinâs parents couldnât make it due to some important matters, so he was the sole representative. Besides, Suâs Third Eldest loved lively scenarios, how could he miss such amusing events?
"Hehe..." After a mischievous laugh, Suâs Third Eldest said to Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai, "Donât you find it strange to have these people here?"
"Who is this..." Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai werenât familiar with this elder. They frowned upon seeing him â dressed in flashy clothes and looking every bit the rogue.
Xiao Lingâerâs father hurriedly said, "This is Su Mengxinâs third grandpa, a man who could make Capital City shake with just a stomp of his foot."
Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai might not be aware of every prestigious family, but they did know of Su Mengxinâs influence. They knew that Xu Yingying used to work for Su Mengxin, and Li Yifei had received a lot of sponsorship from her. Learning that this man was Su Mengxinâs Third Grandpa, they instantly treated him with respect.
"Good to see you, Uncle Third."
Suâs Third Eldest waved his hand, smiling cheerily, "None of that Uncle Third business, that kid Yifei and I are friends. Letâs not stand on ceremony. Now listen, havenât you noticed something odd about these guys?"
"Uncle Third, this..." Lin Zhenhai and Xu Zhenguo both felt the atmosphere today was unusual, but surrounded by such influential figures, they didnât dare speak out of turn.
Suâs Third Eldest said with a sly grin, "Hehe, these guys are all up to no good, aiming to snatch your son-in-law for their daughters."
"What?" Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai gasped in surprise, then simultaneously shook their heads, saying, "Uncle Third, you must be joking?"
Suâs Third Eldestâs smile grew even broader, "Joking? Do I look like Iâm joking? Youâre both so naĂŻve. Why would Yifei build such a big garden if not for his own use? Plus, the women living here, if they have no connection to him, do you think heâd be so idle to go out of his way to arrange villas and maids for them?"
"Uh... This... this..." Lin Zhenhai and Xu Zhenguo were at a loss for words, mouths agape and minds blank.
The people from the other three families were looking rather embarrassed by now. Even if they came as mediators and were mentally prepared, Suâs Third Eldestâs meddling made things quite awkward.
"Youâre all really too easygoing, unable to see the obvious. Mengxin is currently pregnant with a big belly, and Yunzhu is holding her little daughter, both sired by Yifei."
Even when talking about his own granddaughter, Suâs Third Eldest wasnât mincing his words. Seeing the displeased expressions on Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhaiâs faces only made him laugh even more joyfully.
Seeing Suâs Third Eldest might mess things up, Ning Xinâerâs father coughed dryly and said, "Old Xu, Old Lin, I know you must be very upset hearing this, but..." He found it hard to express himself but still forced himself to continue, "Initially, we didnât agree either, but since the kids all want to be with Yifei, we just have to accept it."
"Director Ning..." Understanding Ning Xinâerâs fatherâs point of view, Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai could somewhat relate. After all, Ning Xinâer had already had a child with Li Yifei. With a child involved, it seemed difficult to sever ties with Li Yifei. But what about Xiao Lingâer and Zheng Yulingâs parents? As major figures themselves, did both families really consent?
And what about Su Mengxinâs status? She could have vied for Li Yifei with her beauty and power and easily won him over â was she planning to follow in Lin Qiongâs footsteps?
Xiao Lingâerâs father also gave a light cough and said, "Old Xu, Old Lin, what the Third Master says is true. This is the consensus among us all."
Zheng Yulingâs father nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we hope you can accept these children."
It took a while for Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai to gather their wits. Xu Zhenguo stuttered out, "You mean... you all agree with the kids following Yifei just like that?"
Suâs Third Eldest immediately said with a chuckle, "Thatâs right, they canât disagree even if they want to. Their daughter is living with your son-in-law, sleeping in your son-in-lawâs bed."
This turned everyoneâs faces dark again. As a grandfather, should he really be speaking like this?
"But... but considering your statuses, this child... this way..." Lin Zhenhai said stammeringly. If he and Xu Zhenguo tacitly agreed to this matter, then all was well. They were just ordinary people, and a good son-in-law like Li Yifei was indeed hard to find. Plus, with the children willing, they wouldnât interfere. But these people here, each one a significant figure, actually agreeing to such things... wasnât that absurd?
Suâs Third Eldest continued with a mischievous smile, "Thereâs no helping it, who told you that your son-in-law has such charm with the ladies? Always flirting around; Iâve long advised him not to mess with these women, but he just doesnât listen. Now look what happened, heâs involved with so many women, Iâm really worried for him."
This guy wasnât here to mediate; he was clearly here to make trouble. The other day, Li Yifei stood him up, and the old man took it to heart. This was his way of getting back at Li Yifei, making sure the young man remembers: you donât stand up an old man without consequences.
The three old masters hadnât gone far and were still paying attention to the situation here. Hearing Suâs Third Eldest speak increasingly out of line, they couldnât bear it any longer and hurriedly came over, dragging Suâs Third Eldest away with them. Normally, they wouldnât want to provoke him, but at this moment, they couldnât let him continue.
"Hey, hey, what are you dragging me away for? Watch out, you guys, that young man might bring home more and more women in the future, you better deal with him properly, haha..."
At this moment, everyone sported frowns, even Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai. With Suâs Third Eldest causing such a scene, it seemed like everyoneâs attention was fixated on the Third Elder, temporarily forgetting what they were all originally supposed to discuss.
"Old Xu, Old Lin, letâs sit down and talk this over slowly." People sat down again, and a few ladies also took their seatsâXu Yingying and Lin Qiongâs mothers looked even more upset than Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai.
"No, I have to get Yifei over here to explain himself," said Xu Yingyingâs mother, the first to lose her composure. She could accept Lin Qiong, but now whatâs with all these others? Was he trying to be an emperor?
Lin Qiongâs mother also immediately said, "Exactly, that boy has stirred up such a mess, he really makes me angry."
As they were speaking, Li Yifei had already appeared before everyone. The elders welcomed him, and Suâs Third Eldest was particularly excited as he said, "Kid, you stood me up last time, and now Iâll make sure you wonât get away with it."
Li Yifeiâs face darkened as he said, "Third Grandpa, you canât be serious?"
Xiao Lingâerâs grandfather said with a wry smile, "This old guy really doesnât know how to say anything nice, for sure."
Suâs Third Eldest burst into hearty laughter, "Kid, what are you glaring at? Come on, hit me if you dare?"
Li Yifei was truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this point. Suâs Third Eldest really didnât know his limits, and Li Yifei quickly made his way in front of this large group of in-laws. With Suâs Third Eldest causing such a commotion, there was no telling how upset Xu Zhenguo and the Lin Zhenhai couple might be.
"Yifei, you tell me, what exactly is going on?" Xu Yingyingâs mother said with an unpleasant expression as she glared at Li Yifei.
"Mom!" Li Yifei quickly gave an apologetic smile and said, "Iâm at fault here. Iâm willing to take any scolding or beating without complaint."
"You... What do you mean by that? Donât you want to explain yourself?" Xu Yingyingâs mother became even more upset.
Li Yifei gave a bitter smile and said, "Mom, itâs my fault for keeping you in the dark, and thatâs on me. Marrying Yingying while being involved with others, thatâs an even bigger mistake. No matter how I explain it, even if there are many reasons for us being together, nothing can excuse my actions."
Zheng Yulingâs mother then said to Xu Yingyingâs mother, "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, I understand youâre angry. If it had been my daughter who married Yifei first and this happened, I too would have been very upset. But now that itâs happened, our families can only thicken our faces and ask for your forgiveness."
Xiao Lingâerâs mother also said, "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, itâs right for you to be angry, but try to see it from another angle. Yifei is not an ordinary man. For the entire Li family to flourish and grow, just Yifeiâs strength wonât suffice. Only with the support and help of our big families can the Li family develop."
Ning Xinâerâs mother also commented, "We all know this is very unfair to Yingying and Lin Qiong, but if we really look into it, Xinâer was the first to have a child with Yifei. However, we are not vying for anything, only hoping the children will be happy and that it will strengthen the families. This is what we, the older generation, hope for too, right?" The three mothers were all coaxing Xu Yingying and Lin Qiongâs mothers, especially the words from Ning Xinâerâs mother, which carried weight. Indeed, Ning Xinâer had the most advantage and now was content to be the unnamed woman in the background. With these people having such backgrounds, being able to do this was truly not easy.
