Chapter 1021: Chapter 1062: This Son-in-Law is So Powerful

Xu Yingying’s parents took Little Yifei to the neighboring room of Lin Qiong’s parents. Seeing how adorable Little Yifei was, Lin Qiong’s parents also couldn’t help adoring her. They knew this child was born to Li Yifei’s former girlfriend, and they admired the Xu Zhenguo couple’s 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 didn’t want to let the friendship with his old military comrade fracture, so he patted Lin Qiong’s father’s shoulder and said, "Hey, Old Lin, the young people’s matters are their own, we’re old war buddies who have been through years together, we can’t let our feelings be damaged over these kids."

Lin Qiong’s father sighed and said, "I don’t want to either, but I can’t help feeling a bit stubborn about it. If it wasn’t for my Little Qiong, none of this would have happened."

"Let it be, don’t think too much. Young people at this time tend to be impulsive; after a while, once everyone has calmed down, they’ll settle down."

Lin Qiong’s father said, "Hopefully it’ll 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, won’t he still be close to us? So if we become estranged from him now, we’re the ones who will end up embarrassed in the end."

Lin Qiong’s father shook his head and remarked, "You really are open-minded. But that lad really has some skills. Look at Yingying and Little Qiong, they’ve got looks and careers. They could have any man they wanted, yet they’re both hung up on him, like moths to a flame."

"You just don’t understand how special Yifei is. He’s a special forces soldier and remarkably capable. Little Qiong’s rapid rise from the start of her police career was with Yifei’s help. How could she not have feelings for him?"

"What?" Lin Qiong’s father immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"You didn’t know? Yifei and Lin Qiong’s 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 Qiong’s father frowned and said, "Why didn’t 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 Qiong’s father’s 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. Aren’t you afraid I’ll encourage my daughter to snatch your son-in-law?"

Xu Zhenguo narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright then, Old Lin, you’ve always been competitive with me in the army. We’ve never acknowledged defeat to each other, and we haven’t competed in many years. Competing for a son-in-law now, that indeed would be interesting."

Lin Qiong’s father chuckled and remarked, "Wouldn’t that put you at a disadvantage? Yifei and your daughter have already registered their marriage."

"That’s 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 other’s hearts.

Behind them, Xu Shanshan then chimed in with a grin, "That’s right, my brother-in-law is so incredible. It’s only natural that Lin Qiong likes him."

Lin Qiong’s father smiled and prompted, "Then tell me, how exactly is your brother-in-law impressive?"

Xu Shanshan said proudly, "I’ll 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 didn’t tell you. Anyway, my sister is fine now, so there’s 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 Qiong’s father exclaimed in shock. They had some awareness of what the Yamaguchi Group was – 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 Qiong’s father took a while to recover their senses. Xu Zhenguo said, "Shanshan, you’re not just bragging, are you?"

"There’s nothing to brag about. You guys don’t know how powerful my brother-in-law really is. My brother-in-law is the strongest in our country’s most elite special forces. No one in the world can beat my brother-in-law."

"That can’t 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. It’s all thanks to my brother-in-law’s influence. Otherwise, do you really think Lin Qiong could have been promoted so quickly?"

Lin Qiong’s 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 Qiong’s father, looking enviously at Xu Zhenguo.

Xu Zhenguo immediately replied modestly, "Old Lin, it’s not certain yet, that treasure might become part of your family."

Lin Qiong’s mother and Xu Yingying’s 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 Yingying’s 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, let’s go out and play, I’ll take you to see our new house," Little Yifei tugged at Xu Yingying’s mother’s hand and said in a babyish voice.

"New house, what new house? Did you buy a new house?" Xu Yingying’s mother asked, puzzled.

Xu Shanshan said with a giggle, "Let’s go have a look, you’ll 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 Shanshan’s 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 Yingying’s 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 Shanshan—they would be working and living on the property and recognized her.

Xu Shanshan smiled slightly and said, "Carry on with your work, we’re just having a look around."

"Yes!" The gardeners respectfully stepped aside and resumed their work.

Meanwhile, Xu Yingying’s mother looked at Xu Shanshan and said, "They’re very respectful towards you."

Xu Shanshan replied proudly, "Of course, I’m the owner of this house. If they’re not respectful, they’ll be fired."

With a new home to show off and not many chances to do so, Little Yifei eagerly said, "Grandma, Grandma, there’s a little stream here with lots of fish in it. Oh, and Shanshan Mom, Dad said he’ll put some pretty big fish in there. Are they there yet?"

Xu Shanshan laughed, "They should be. Let’s 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.
