Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 451: 437 Who said I didn’t acknowledge her?

Talking about anger, the "marriage agreement" between the Min Family and the Jun Residence was indeed just a verbal arrangement among the elders and there was no formal agreement.

Not to mention Jun Lii’s attitude, his own daughter was extremely resistant.

Especially during the time when the Min Family encountered difficulties, although the Jun Residence helped greatly, Min Qiusheng always felt like he owed a favor that needed to be repaid!

The thought of marrying his daughter into the Jun Residence peaked at that moment.

As a result...

Jun Lii had an incident abroad and though he was found, he lost a great deal of his spirit.

Not until Jun Yan was brought to the Jun Residence...

At that time, Min Qiusheng was extremely angry and insisted on finding Jun Yunfei for an explanation!

Both families had the idea of becoming in-laws, what was this sudden affair with a child?!

Jun Yunfei felt his head grow big— he had no idea.

Suddenly becoming a grandfather out of the blue...

Fortunately, after Jun Yan arrived, Min Zixian’s attitude toward Jun Lii actually improved a bit.

Because she liked the little guy, she would visit the Jun Residence from time to time.

Seeing that his daughter was very fond of him, Min Qiusheng steeled his heart—fine, a stepmother it is.

In large clans, having a few illegitimate children is not important!

What mattered was that his daughter could successfully marry into the Jun Residence and become the matriarch of the Jun Family.

Unexpectedly, after several years, Min Qiusheng regressed and let his daughter try to establish a good relationship with Jun Lii, to no avail.

And now he is directly claiming to have found Jun Yan’s birth mother?!!

Seeing the rarely gentle expression on Jun Lii’s face, it was clear he liked this woman very much!

Min Qiusheng almost couldn’t catch his breath.

By the time he recovered, Jun Lii had already left.

He was both anxious and angry, with no choice but to contact Jun Yunfei quickly.

After hearing his dad’s words, Jun Lii serenely flipped a page of the document, "A long time ago, I declared that Zixian will forever be only a sister."

It was probably around when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. At that time, the relationship between the two families was very good, and it was the first time Min Qiusheng jokingly mentioned marrying Zixian into the Jun Family.

He frowned, his expression cold as ice, "Zixian is a sister."

Five words, firm and righteous.

Yet nobody took his words seriously, both patriarchs just laughed it off.

Jun Yunfei, recalling Jun Lii’s demeanor at that time, frowned and said, "Do you really have no feelings for Zixian?"

"I’ve already said it," Jun Lii repeated, "She’s just a sister."

"Your Uncle Min... must be very disappointed," Jun Yunfei sighed.

Jun Lii lifted his eyelids and hit the nail on the head, "Disappointment springs from whether one’s own desires are satisfied."

"I—" Jun Yunfei fell silent.

He of course knew the real intention behind the Min Family’s desire for a marriage alliance.

"Regardless, for the Jun Family to have developed to this step today, your Uncle Min has contributed quite a bit..."

"Using favors to coerce is never a good thing," Jun Lii lowered his lashes, indifferently interrupting his father’s words, "Besides, if he hadn’t chosen to cooperate with us back then, he would have been devoured by other noble houses. Rather than saying he sacrificed himself to contribute to the Jun Family, it’s more accurate to say Uncle Min was looking out for his own interests."

Jun Yunfei sighed, "I understand."

Jun Lii closed the last page of the document, calmly saying, "If Dad is here to spend time lobbying on behalf of Uncle Min, you are bound to be disappointed tonight. I will only have one wife, and I hope Dad won’t have any misunderstandings about her because of your relationship with the Min Family. In my heart... I only acknowledge Yueqing! Whether Dad approves or not, I intend to marry her."

Jun Yunfei frowned subconsciously, "Who said I don’t approve of her?!"

Now it was Jun Lii’s turn to give a sidelong glance.

He looked at his father curiously, who had a strange expression on his face.

Jun Lii pondered for a moment, "Have you investigated her? Was it Jun Yi, or Jun Chi?"

"Do I need to investigate?" Jun Yunfei laughed disbelievingly, "Jun Jiu has been sent to her side, and Jun Chi has been dragged in to help with tasks. When have I ever seen you take such care?"

Jun Lii’s eyes narrowed, like a frigid leopard, "Dad knows what I’m asking."

"You cocky brat, you’ve got guts! Daring to use your momentum to pressure your dad?!"

Far from backing down, Jun Lii grew even colder, "How much has Dad investigated?"

"What’s with that look? I didn’t investigate, okay! Someone invited me to have a chat," Jun Yunfei sighed, still unable to contain his exasperation, "What kind of luck do you have, kid, to bump into a girl from a family like Yueqing’s?"

He was extremely emotional!

Initially, he had just sent the brat to the legendary Jiang Residence for lessons.

This kid was incredible, directly uprooting their most treasured flower, pot and all!

Jun Lii sensed something was amiss and sat up straight, "Who invited you for a chat?"

"Who else could it be?" Jun Yunfei watched his son finally showing urgency and lounged back on the sofa with interest, "Your future mother-in-law."

"Aunt Jiang?!"

Jun Lii was very surprised.

"I never expected so many twists and turns between you and Yueqing... It involves the Jiang Family’s secrets. She didn’t explain in detail, but I roughly guessed how painfully you and Yueqing have been separated for years..."

"To be honest, with our family’s status, if you had told me in the past that you were dating the Legitimate Miss of the Jiang Family, I would have reprimanded you for being a toad lusting after swan meat! But that day, your Aunt Jiang said... you are a good kid..."

"Dad wants to know, what exactly did you do to make the head of the Jiang Family acknowledge you as a good person? Especially since... Yueqing was so badly hurt because of you, and her mother doesn’t blame you but instead speaks up for you?!"

Jun Yunfei recalled the matters Jiang Yu mentioned when she saw him.

Every single event, every single detail, shook him to the core.

He could never have imagined that during the months his son was missing, he was with the Legitimate Miss of the Jiang Family? Not only had they developed a relationship, but Miss Jiang had even gotten injured for his sake...

And yet, your mother-in-law is fiercely protective of you, not even bringing up any issues with Jun Lii.

Jun Lii was equally shocked upon hearing this!

Aunt Jiang had only met him once, which was when she first brought Jun Yan to the Jun Residence.

Afterward, as Zihu’s consciousness delved into the temporal stream, he forgot that past, and naturally, Aunt Jiang did not disturb him...

If he had been stronger, if he had retained his memories.

Could he perhaps have made Yueqing’s past few years easier?!

That impostor had taken over Yueqing’s body, causing all kinds of notorious issues on the outside.

If he had his memories, he would never have allowed the impostor to go so far!

And Xiao Wang...

Unexpectedly, Aunt Jiang did not blame him for his amnesia; instead, she spoke many good words for him in front of his father.

Jun Lii’s voice deepened, "Aunt Jiang... is a very good person."

"You realize she’s good too, huh?" Jun Yunfei shook his head, "I can’t fathom how you managed to win over the girl from the Jiang Family."

Jun Lii came back to his senses and looked at his father, "Knowing my relationship with Yueqing, why did Dad still speak on behalf of Uncle Min?"

Jun Yunfei snorted, "Marrying Yueqing would be reaching above our station! Dad is just worried... Your Aunt Jiang made it clear while talking to me that she wouldn’t reveal her identity for now. To the Min Family, Yueqing is just the child of Yan Family’s richest man in City C..."

Jun Lii understood, "Dad is worried that the Min Family might harm her? Or is he worried that I won’t be able to protect her?"

"Neither," Jun Yunfei said meaningfully, "Dad hopes that the Min Family won’t become hostile towards her."

The most difficult times for the Jun Residence were endured with the support of Min Qiusheng.

At the end of the day, he still valued the camaraderie with the Min Family.

Jun Lii thought for two seconds, "I will take care of the Min Family, as long as he doesn’t dig his own grave." But after a thought, he added with a laugh, "With Zixian around, I’m afraid Uncle Min won’t be able to lay his plans on Yueqing."

With her superfan there and Min Qiusheng being a father crazy about his daughter, no big waves should come from the Min Family.
