Chapter 1099: Chapter 1142: The Change in Yiyi’s Father

Li Yifei didn’t have such grand ambitions; all he wanted was for his family to develop well enough, but this trip to Capital City endowed this simple wish with greater responsibility. This meant Li Yifei had to start taking action. Although he wasn’t yet strong enough to take on the provincial city, making some preparations in advance was essential.

Brother Hu took on the task with absolute excitement. Following Li Yifei’s orders, the very next day he rushed to the provincial city. Li Yifei didn’t detail how it should be done, but if Brother Hu needed Li Yifei to instruct him on everything, then he would seem utterly useless.

Aoki Reiko, accompanied by Xiao Ling’er, also got to know Li Yifei’s company. She recognized that although these companies had been established at different times, their achievements indicated that Li Yifei must be a successful businessman. To reach this level, it would require a great deal of effort, something a spy could not have accomplished, which meant Li Yifei definitely couldn’t be Mu Fei.

This realization left Aoki Reiko somewhat disappointed, so in the end, she retained the notion of showing gratitude by looking around here, and perhaps cooperate with Li Yifei’s company in the future if the opportunity arose; otherwise, her interest faded.

The next day, Aoki Reiko left Mile City, which was a relief for Li Yifei.

If it had been just an ordinary girl, even if caught up with her, Li Yifei wouldn’t have been too worried, but Aoki Reiko’s identity was too sensitive. Moreover, Aoki Reiko was a very patriotic woman. If she found out that he was the real Mu Fei, the consequences would be too significant for Li Yifei to bear, so he did not dare let Aoki Reiko recognize him.

With Aoki Reiko gone, Li Yifei and his family devoted themselves to arranging the relocation ceremony. This event was also significant, so Li Yifei didn’t dare be the least bit negligent. He invited leaders from Mile City and important figures from all walks of life. This was an opportunity for the Li family to showcase its strength. From this weekend on, the Li family would be the foremost family in Mile City.

To resist external threats, one must first ensure internal stability. This time, Li Yifei was determined to put his household in order to avoid future worries.

On Wednesday, Xu Yingying’s parents and Lin Qiong’s parents had already arrived in Mile City and were staying in the Li family compound. The servants respectfully addressed them as "Lord" and "Lady." Even though all four elders only nodded solemnly in person, they were extremely delighted behind closed doors.

But of course, they couldn’t let them know the current situation of the household just yet; they definitely would find it hard to accept.

On Thursday, Su Yiyi brought her father over, a once avid gambler who seemed much more spirited now. Li Yifei had bought him a storefront that he was renting out. With an annual rental income of seventy to eighty thousand yuan, the rent was prepaid, giving him a year’s rent in advance, so his current life was quite comfortable.

It could be that Li Yifei had given him a tough lesson, or maybe it was just that he’d aged and finally wanted to live a settled life, but he had not gambled since, much to Su Yiyi’s relief.

Before coming this time, Su Yiyi had already briefed her father about the Li family’s current situation. Instead of being excited by Li Yifei’s wealth, her father was somewhat worried: "Yiyi, have you really thought this through? Our family has nothing, I can’t give you anything to be proud of, and you’ll have to be taken care of by others. I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold your head up high in the future. Otherwise... let’s just find an honest man for you to marry. We don’t need the storefront he gave us. I can work and support myself, and I won’t be a burden to you."

Su Yiyi looked at her father in surprise, never expecting him to say such things. It was a father’s love for his daughter, a sentiment that seemed to have been missing for the past five or six years.

"Dad!" Su Yiyi’s eyes reddened and she choked up: "Dad, don’t worry, I’m really doing well there. This time, I’m inviting you to attend the joy of our new home’s relocation. Once you’re there, you can see for yourself what kind of life I’m leading, and you won’t worry anymore."

"Alright! Then Dad will go have a look. If I find out that you’re being mistreated, I’ll take you back."

Su Yiyi was deeply touched—this was her father, this was the affection between father and daughter. She would cherish and take good care of such a father in the future.

Upon arriving at the Li family, as they entered through the front gate, the security guard respectfully greeted, "Miss Su."

Su Yiyi smiled slightly, saying: "Hello, this is my father. He’ll be staying here for a few days and might come by often in the future. Please help him with the identity verification."

"Of course, Elder Su, please come with us."

Outside the gate, Su Yiyi’s father had already seen the tall walls and the imposing gate, feeling that the Li family was really too grandiose. As for the identity verification, he didn’t understand at all, and he followed them bewilderedly, going through several electronic devices as instructed before being led back out.

"Yiyi, what was all that about?" Su Yiyi’s father whispered to her.

Su Yiyi softly explained: "Our family’s gate is not something anyone can just walk through. Ordinary people need to be announced and granted permission to enter. Once our own family members complete the identity verification, the guards will recognize them, and they will be able to come and go freely in the future."

"Shouldn’t the guards be some old men or something? Why do I see only young guys?"

"Dad, our Li family isn’t just any household. These guards are the first line of defense for protecting the Li family, all very capable individuals, and are paid high salaries. How could we employ old men?"

"I see." Su Yiyi’s father grinned a little, looking around. The lavishness inside was dazzling, beyond his comprehension. "This isn’t just someone’s home; it’s practically a park."

"Miss Su, good day!" Two gardeners saw Su Yiyi, quickly stopped their work, and gave her a bow of respect.

"Carry on with your work."

"Miss Su, good day!" Soon after, two nannies passed by.

Su Yiyi responded again with a nod of her head.

Seeing how these people were so respectful towards Su Yiyi, her father, who was initially bent over in fear, started to straighten his back more and more. His daughter obviously held a high status here; if he continued to act the way he had been, wouldn’t he just embarrass her?

Su Yiyi also noticed her father’s change in demeanor and felt happy in her heart. She said, "Dad, you see, here I am the mistress of the Li family. All the security guards and servants in the yard have to listen to me."

"Oh oh, I see it now, I used to think you were... haha, the other woman. It seems that’s not the case."

"Mm-hmm, it’s not. Here, all of Yifei’s women are treated the same. The servants and security guards here know this too, and they dare not treat us differently."

"Mm-hmm, that reassures me."

After walking for over ten minutes, Su Yiyi led her father to her own villa and said, "Dad, this is where I live."

A girl of about twenty years old immediately came to greet them. She was Su Yiyi’s nanny, Li’er. After introducing her father to Li’er, Li’er respectfully said, "Elder lord, good day, please take a seat. I’ll make some tea for you."

"No... there’s no need to trouble yourself."

Su Yiyi pulled her father inside, saying, "Dad, it’s fine."

When they reached the sofa, Su Yiyi’s father did not sit down immediately; looking at the high-grade sofa, he was somewhat reluctant to sit down. In the end, Su Yiyi had to insist he sit.

"Do several people live here?" Su Yiyi’s father could tell from the outside how good this villa was. A villa like this would sell for at least two to three million, even in a city like Mile City.

"This is my villa, but it’s not only me living here, Li’er also lives here. She is responsible for taking care of me."

"A villa this big just for one person?" Su Yiyi’s father was astonished.

"Yes, each of us has our own separate villa, and each has a dedicated nanny." Saying this, Su Yiyi was quite proud, and then went on to say, "If you move in here in the future, you can just live with me."

"Great!" Su Yiyi’s father immediately agreed excitedly, but then shook his head and laughed, "No, no. Seeing that you’re living so well, I’m already at ease. Staying here, I’d only affect you negatively. If someone else had been treated by their father the way you were treated by me, they would have disowned me by now. Now you’ve even bought me a shop to ensure my livelihood for the rest of my life; I am truly content."

Knowing that such a large villa was inhabited by Su Yiyi alone put her father more at ease. If there were other women living there, he would be afraid that they might dislike him. If he dirtied something in the villa accidentally, they might have complaints, which could cause trouble for his daughter.

Su Yiyi quickly said, "Dad, don’t worry, Yifei won’t be angry, and the others won’t look down on you. They’re like real sisters to me."

"No, Dad knows you’re filial, but now I am happy living outside. If I were here, I’d surely feel uncomfortable, especially in the presence of your...man. I would always feel awkward."

Su Yiyi too felt a bit embarrassed - after all, Li Yifei had once beaten her father. It would be awkward for a father-in-law and a son-in-law to be together.

Her father chuckled and said, "However, I’m really grateful to him now. If it weren’t for him, I’d still be gambling every day, causing more harm to you, or even dead at someone’s hands by now. I wouldn’t have the life I have now. All of this is thanks to him. I’m genuinely happy in my heart that you’re with him. If your mother could see how good your life is, she would be extremely happy too."

The father and daughter fell into a moment of silence but their bond as parent and child had become much closer.
