Chapter 1101: Chapter 1144: Meeting Between Fathers-in-Law
Li Xinyue’s family of three also arrived, they too were picked up by Li Xinyue, arriving at the gate of this grand courtyard in a Mercedes, all three of them were dumbfounded.
Then Li Xinyue’s stepmother excitedly exclaimed, "Xinyue, you... you live here?"
Li Xinyue, feeling displeased by her stepmother’s expression, held back her disgust on this happy occasion, saying, "Yes."
"This... it’s a villa, I wonder how much money it must have cost to buy."
"Over a hundred million," Li Xinyue remarked indifferently.
She decided to reveal Li Yifei’s family wealth as everyone suggested since her stepmother was calculative and her brother a rascal; this could keep them in check.
And it seemed the method indeed was somewhat effective; her stepmother’s mouth hung open, stuttering after a long while, "Xinyue, you mean... you’re saying... you married a billionaire?"
Li Xinyue, linking arms with her father, said, "Yes, Dad, let’s go in."
"Okay okay!" Li Xinyue’s father’s lips trembled, nodding repeatedly, his steps slightly faltering, while Li Xinyue’s stepmother and brother were already excited, eager to go inside and take a look.
Upon entering the gate, Li Xinyue’s stepmother turned into Liu Lao Lao, appearing exactly as Liu Lao Lao did when she first entered Grand View Garden.
"Sis! This... this is just too big! And so beautiful!"
"Mmm, let’s go in and take a look. Don’t talk nonsense here, there are many important figures today. If you don’t want to embarrass me, just behave." She could not speak much to her stepmother, but she could be stricter with her brother.
"Yes, yes, sis, don’t worry, I’ll definitely behave well and won’t talk nonsense," Li Xinyue’s brother nodded repeatedly, showing obedience for the first time in front of Li Xinyue.
Li Xinyue was still uneasy, saying, "Let me tell you, there are many senior leaders from the Central Government here today, even our city’s Mayor and Municipal Party Secretary are nothing compared to them. If you cause me trouble, you’ll know the consequences."
Her brother shrank his neck, saying, "Sis, really?"
"Of course it’s true. Do you think I’m bluffing? Your brother-in-law is definitely not as simple as you think."
By then, Li Xinyue’s stepmother was too scared to make a sound, and Li Xinyue’s father’s legs trembled even more.
"Where is brother-in-law?" asked Li Xinyue’s brother.
"Your brother-in-law is busy; he has gone to pick up a sister’s parents for me. And let me tell you something else, besides me, your brother-in-law has twelve other women."
"Ah?" The three exclaimed in shock.
Li Xinyue then said, "If you want me to stand firm here, don’t cause me trouble. My husband won’t treat you badly, but if you make it so I can’t stay, you won’t get anything good."
"Got it," nodded Li Xinyue’s stepmother and brother, not caring whether Li Xinyue was being Li Yifei’s lover or not.
But Li Xinyue’s father stuttered, saying, "Xinyue, this isn’t..."
"Dad, I know what you’re going to say, you’ll understand once you go inside. This decision of your daughter is definitely not to bring you disgrace."
Li Yifei had already arrived at Michelle’s house, who said today she was taking her parents to the company vice-president’s housewarming celebration without mentioning her relationship with Li Yifei.
Seeing Li Yifei arrived, Michelle’s parents were somewhat surprised; they knew Li Yifei was a top executive in the company, but why would a high-ranking official come to welcome them to a celebration?
"Uncle, Auntie, can we leave now?" His glance shifted towards Michelle, who was exceptionally beautiful today, dressed in a long gown, her hair done exquisitely, more splendid and elegant than usual.
Standing behind her parents, Michelle felt the admiration in Li Yifei’s eyes and her smile grew even brighter.
"Alright, alright, it’s really embarrassing that President Li himself came to pick us up," Michelle’s father appeared a bit awkward.
"This is how it should be." Li Yifei smiled.
At this moment, Michelle’s parents weren’t thinking about anything else, because Michelle had just been promoted and was now the Vice-president of the company. Given such a position, it seemed reasonable for a senior executive of the company to come and pick them up; perhaps it was also a sign of the company’s human touch.
The four of them went downstairs. Li Yifei opened the rear car door for Michelle’s parents to enter, while stealthily pinching Michelle’s hand. Michelle was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, glancing back to see if her parents, who were bending over to get into the car, had noticed. Relieved that they hadn’t seen, she let out a sigh of relief.
Michelle was actually very nervous today. Today was the crucial moment when her mother was about to discover her relationship with Li Yifei. She was unsure if her parents would agree and had not dared to let them know about it had it not been for everyone’s encouragement.
Upon arriving at Li Yifei’s house, Michelle’s parents, like everyone else, were completely stunned and somewhat bewilderedly guided inside to settle down.
Now everyone had brought their parents to their respective villas, so there hadn’t been a meeting between them yet, and momentarily there were no issues.
All the parents had been brought here, and Li Yifei started the second phase of his plan. The most important were the parents of Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong. In their minds, their daughters were the hostesses of the place. Having outsiders participate would definitely be hardest for them to accept, so Li Yifei began by addressing their concerns first.
Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong’s parents were strolling in the garden with Xu Shanshan’s company. Many people had come to the big courtyard today, unfamiliar faces likely important people associated with Li Yifei; they did not intrude but felt puzzled when their granddaughter hadn’t come along, urging Xu Shanshan to bring Little Yifei over.
"Isn’t Yifei over there?" Xu Shanshan pointed at a crowd ahead.
Everyone hurried over, and Little Yifei had already spotted Xu Shanshan and others, excitedly shouting, "Grandma, Grandpa!" as she ran towards them, with the group following close behind.
"Grandma, Grandpa, I have new grandparents now, and even a Great-grandfather!" Little Yifei explained lively, waving her small hand towards the Ning Family.
"New grandpa?" Xu Zhenguo suddenly looked puzzled at the crowd and upon seeing Ning Xin’er, he instantly understood these must be her family members; having visited here several times before, he had met the girls, including Ning Xin’er, Little Yifei’s biological mother, which he was particularly aware of.
However, Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai were unaware of Ning Xin’er’s background. At that moment, as they looked at the group, they felt a flash of recognition but couldn’t recall where they had seen these people before.
As the groups merged, Ning Xin’er greeted Xu Zhenguo first, then introduced, "Uncle, auntie, this is my grandfather, my father, and mother; they’ve come to see Yifei too, as well as to attend Yifei’s housewarming celebration. Grandpa, Dad, Mom, these are Yingying’s parents, these are Lin Qiong’s parents."
Ning Xin’er’s grandfather chuckled, "Well, we’re practically family now, and we must get closer in the future."
Xu Zhenguo frowned secretly. Although Ning Xin’er and Li Yifei had a daughter together, Li Yifei was not with Ning Xin’er at the moment. But why did her grandfather speak as if Ning Xin’er and Li Yifei were together? And what did he mean by "family"?
"Old Xu, Old Lin, you’re also from the Public Security System, aren’t you?" Ning Xin’er’s father came forward.
Both Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai nodded, sizing up Ning Xin’er’s father. This square-faced man seemed familiar. Xu Zhenguo, puzzled, asked, "Are you also from the Public Security System?"
"I am indeed an old public security officer, though I’ve never worked in this province. Currently, I work at the Su Province Public Security Bureau."
"Ah!" Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai gasped in unison; Lin Zhenhai excitedly said, "You’re Director Ning."
Ning Xin’er’s father smiled, "What director or not, let’s not talk about that here."
Xu Zhenguo, excitedly shaking hands with Ning Xin’er’s father, said, "Director Ning, I truly admire you. In our Public Security System, you, Director Ning, are certainly someone who commands the respect of all police officers."
Ning Xin’er’s father sternly noted, "See, here you go again, don’t forget, this is a family gathering for the children, and we are all family here; let’s not mention the unnecessary stuff. I wouldn’t be pleased."
"Director Ning... haha, big bro, shall we call you big bro?"
"Let’s compare, see who’s older, otherwise I dare not assume the title of ’brother.’"
Being able to discuss brotherhood with a Director of the Public Security Bureau thrilled Lin Zhenhai and Xu Zhenguo immensely. Even if other governmental officials held higher ranks, for them, belonging to the same Public Security System brought a profound sense of connection.
"However, let’s not rush this discussion. Let me introduce others to you. This is Mengxin’s Third Grandpa, this is Ling’er’s grandfather and parents, and Yuling’s grandparents and parents. These folks are all doing better than me."
This statement startled Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai. Ning Xin’er’s father being the Director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau was already a high rank, yet these individuals were even more successful than him. Just what levels could they be at?
However, it wasn’t too strange when thought through, as they were aware of Su Mengxin’s status and knew her friends must also come from substantial backgrounds. Initially, these people presumably came for Su Mengxin, but why were they so enthusiastic about them, even seemingly revering them?
