Chapter 510: Chapter 520 The Ye Family Disagrees

The sound of knocking interrupted the moment, and Li Yifei with Ye Yunzhu swiftly tidied up before she hurried to open the door. Standing outside were her parents, whom she quickly invited in.

After sitting down, Ye Yunzhu’s parents both fixed their gaze on Li Yifei. With a faint smile, Li Yifei said, "Uncle, Auntie, please feel free to ask whatever you want."

Ye Yunzhu’s mother nodded and said, "Yifei, you’ve been with Yunzhu since high school, and we’ve investigated you back then, no offense. But about Yunzhu’s job, did you really make it happen?"

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "Yes, I did."

Ye Yunzhu’s parents exchanged a look before her father, Ye Zhenyang, spoke up, "Yifei, it’s not that we don’t trust you, but this is just too astonishing. For a Township Chief to become a Deputy County Head isn’t a several-level promotion, but in today’s bureaucratic environment, moving up even one step is not that easy. How did you manage it? Could you tell us?"

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Ye, all I can say is I know an important person up there who owed me a favor. He promised to help ensure Yunzhu’s career goes smoothly. That settled the favor he owed me, and I can’t ask him for anything more."

Li Yifei deliberately kept his explanation vague to avoid the Ye family seeking his help in the future for other promotions, which could complicate things. Helping Yunzhu was one thing, but aiding an entire family was quite another, not as simple, nor something he would do. These large families often needed a balance of power, and Li Yifei couldn’t afford to disrupt it casually, as it could lead to various social issues, a warning he had already received from that influential person.

Ye Zhenyang quickly said, "I’m not asking you to help push the Ye family further; I just wanted to confirm this matter. Now that you’ve put it this way, I’m relieved. As long as Yunzhu’s career path is secure, we ask for nothing more."

Li Yifei turned to look at Ye Yunzhu tenderly and said, "I owe so much to Yunzhu already. Being able to do something for her is my way of making up for the hurt I’ve caused her."

Ye Yunzhu smiled softly at Li Yifei and said, "As long as you know. If you ever treat me badly in the future, I won’t let you off the hook."

Watching the couple’s affectionate exchange, Ye Yunzhu’s parents felt a comforting reassurance. Clearing his throat, her father said, "Yifei, about the time I hit you..."

Li Yifei swiftly interrupted Ye Yunzhu’s father, saying, "Uncle Ye, I don’t hold it against you at all, really! I’m going to be a father myself, and if my daughter were involved with a boy like that, I’d beat that kid up too."

Li Yifei’s eyes blazed with fervor as he spoke about disciplining, which brought smiles to everyone there, including Ye Yunzhu and her parents. Every parent’s heart is the same; no one wants their daughter to be treated unfairly.

At that moment, Ye Yunzhu’s mother added earnestly, "Yifei, we are entrusting Yunzhu to you. She has a strong character and a bit of a temper, so I expect there might be some arguments between you two. If anything comes up, just bear with her a little more, and if you really can’t stand it, come back to me, and I’ll tell her off for you."

Ye Yunzhu protested at once, "Mom, I’m not that bad."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "You’re not bad, you’re really tough. But now I’ve got Auntie to back me up, so I’ll have somewhere to turn if I’m wronged in the future."

"Stop it, if you dare to snitch, I’ll make you kneel on the keyboard," Ye Yunzhu playfully threatened Li Yifei with a little fist.

Ye Yunzhu’s father felt happy inside but kept a straight face and said, "You little rascal, where’s your decorum? You’re not just anybody; you’re a person of significant status now, a Township Chief, no, a Deputy County Head. If you made your own husband kneel on a keyboard, you’d be the joke of the official circles."

Ye Yunzhu pouted and said, "I was just joking. But really, Dad, whose daughter am I, or is he your son? You’ve already taken his side."

Ye Yunzhu’s mother chuckled lightly and said, "A son-in-law is also half a son, right? Our family has only one daughter, and Yifei is without parents, so he’s practically like our own son."

Li Yifei immediately replied, "Absolutely, I will definitely honor you both as my own parents."

Ye Yunzhu’s parents burst into hearty laughter, which was essentially their complete approval of the relationship between Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu.

The Ye family’s banquet was lively, with dozens of family members gathered together. Besides the Old Master of the Ye Family, there was also Ye Yunzhu’s father’s generation, which included six brothers and four sisters. They were all present that day, and each of the ten siblings was accompanied by their spouse, totaling twenty people. Additionally, there were over a dozen children, and even some grandchildren who were married and had their own kids. So, from the Ye family alone, there were more than forty people.

This was a truly large family, and Li Yifei was completely an outsider here. Everyone’s eyes were on Li Yifei, but he didn’t feel uneasy at all. He had been in many big events and had met many important figures, and although the Ye family members were quite capable, they were far from matching the key players Li Yifei had encountered.

After the banquet, the Old Master called Li Yifei to his study alone, which was quite a surprise to the younger generation of the Ye family. They hadn’t been there when Li Yifei helped Ye Yunzhu with her job transfer, and some of those who were married had never received such treatment – the Old Master had never summoned any of them alone.

After a servant poured tea for them and left, Li Yifei and the Old Master sat opposite each other on two mahogany chairs, with a small mahogany table in between. The Old Master leisurely took a sip of tea and said, "Try it."

Li Yifei took a sip, squinted his eyes, and said, "Not bad, premium Red Robe Tea. This isn’t something just anyone can enjoy."

"Excellent, you identified it with just one sip. Are you also a tea connoisseur?" the Old Master’s eyes shone with interest.

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Grandpa, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. I’m no expert on tea, but given your status, the tea you drink naturally wouldn’t be second-rate. Besides, you specifically asked me to try it, so apart from the best, premium Red Robe Tea, it couldn’t be anything else."

The Old Master was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Very good, very good. This kind of judgment really is strong. Among young people, I’ve never seen such a thing."

Li Yifei offered a modest smile, "You flatter me, Grandpa. I was just guessing."

"So, changing jobs for Yunzhu—was that also a guess?"

Li Yifei knew he couldn’t hide such matters from the Old Master, who surely had more discernment than the rest of the Ye family. Taking another sip of tea, he said, "Whatever you believe, Grandpa."

The Old Master didn’t press further on the matter and squinted at Li Yifei, pushing a stack of papers on the table towards him, saying, "Take a look."

Li Yifei glanced at the top page, which contained his information. He didn’t have to read it; those documents didn’t include his time with the Flying Hawk Squad. His résumé had been altered when he left the squad, and except for the squad members and some high-ranking officials, no one else could access Li Yifei’s real record. The Old Master of the Ye Family clearly didn’t have that level of access. He said, "Grandpa, I know I can’t conceal this from you. What do you think about it?"

The Old Master also took a sip of tea and replied, "That depends on your intentions. Our Ye family’s children certainly wouldn’t be played with, right?"
