Chapter 545: Chapter 556: You Go Pursue Su Mengxin_3

The Old Master of the Ye Family laughed heartily and said, "Very well, if you hold the Lin family in such light regard, then dealing with the Song Family should be no problem at all."

"They haven’t offended me yet, have they?" Li Yifei said with a grin as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. In front of such a sly old man, there was no need for pretense.

The Old Master of the Ye Family didn’t mind and said, "That’s true, we should always have a just cause for our actions."

Li Yifei, with his legs crossed, said, "How to have a just cause, that’s your affair, Old Master. I won’t bother myself with that worry."

"Hmm, you needn’t worry about that. It turns out you are so closely related to the Su Family; no wonder you have such strength. The Su Family, ah..." The Old Master narrowed his eyes, looking contemplative and yearning.

As the helmsman of a great family, his most desired achievement was to elevate his family to new heights. Over the years, he had spared no effort, but he had only managed to maintain the Ye family’s status among the top families of the provincial city. To reach another level was extremely difficult. Families like the Su Family in Capital City were what he aspired to. If he could also take the Ye family to that level, his life would truly be worthwhile.

"Yifei, do you think our Ye family could forge ties with the Su Family?" The Old Master’s face suddenly held a hint of supplication.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Old Master, let me be frank with you. Personally, I have some acquaintance with Su Mengxin; she can stand up for me in certain matters, but in fact, I don’t have any real connection to the Su Family."

"What are you talking about? Although Su Mengxin isn’t the helmsman of the Su Family, she’s absolutely the most outstanding figure of her generation. Even as a daughter, she controls the majority of the Su family’s enterprise. Having a good personal relationship with her naturally equates to having a relationship with the Su Family," the Old Master argued.

Li Yifei gave the Old Master a sidelong glance and said, "Personal relationships are just that, personal. I don’t want to mix them with business interests, or it would sour our relationship. If that happened, we probably wouldn’t even be able to be friends anymore, and that might be worse than how things are now."

The Old Master thought for a moment, then said, "That’s also true. A family like the Su Family isn’t one to be easily swayed by interests, nor do they need any benefit we could offer. In fact, they probably wouldn’t even care for it. Personal relationships are indeed more reliable."

Seeing that the Old Master had reasoned it out, Li Yifei didn’t say much more. He didn’t want the Ye family to try and climb the social ladder through Su Mengxin.

"So what exactly is your personal relationship with Su Mengxin?" the Old Master asked, curious like a gossip.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes again and said, "Of course, just good friends."

"Good friends between a man and a woman? That doesn’t sound too convincing," the Old Master shamelessly winked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Grandfather, you’re of such an age, can’t we maintain some integrity? My relationship with Su Mengxin is just friendship. Otherwise, do you think if I were already married, she would have any sort of relationship with me, become my mistress?"

"That is true!" The Old Master nodded, realizing his thoughts were indeed improper, but soon he slapped his thigh and said, "Silly boy, you’re wrong; who is Su Mengxin? She has never been reported to have any excessively intimate relationships with any man, yet she is quite close with you. That clearly shows she has feelings for you, and someone of her stature naturally wouldn’t express them directly."

Li Yifei was startled by the Old Master’s wild speculations, and said, annoyed, "Grandfather, can we not jump to wild conclusions?"

"We must jump to wild conclusions; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yifei, I think that Su Mengxin clearly has feelings for you. Someone like her, once she takes an interest in someone, won’t easily let go. And you, clueless about romance, should take the initiative," the Old Master asserted.

"I should take the initiative?" Li Yifei’s face twitched, "Not to mention whether that’s true or not, even if it were, I’m already married and even have a child with Yunzhu. Are you seriously suggesting I pursue Su Mengxin?"

"What’s wrong with that? If you married Su Mengxin, and our Yunzhu became your second wife, that would make even more sense. In our Huaxia, is there any woman of higher status than Su Mengxin? If she became the main wife, who could object?"

Li Yifei’s eyes widened as he stared at the Old Master as if looking at a monster, utterly speechless at the suggestion.
