Chapter 874: 915 Chapter: Father-in-law and Son-in-law Conversation

The next day was a weekend, and everyone arrived early, making the hospital room suddenly very lively.

Li Yifei remembered Ye Yunzhu’s words and specially picked up Little Yifei to see his own daughter, gently touching his sister’s tiny hand with Little Yifei’s, which delighted Little Yifei immensely.

And indeed, Li Yifei noticed that Ning Xin’er was particularly happy at that moment, which reminded Li Yifei to never again make the same mistake. Everyone had been getting along harmoniously, and it would have been very wrong to create unnecessary disagreements through his own carelessness.

Around nine o’clock, the hospital director personally came and said to Li Yifei, "Mr. Li, I am very sorry about what happened yesterday. We have already found the culprits through the hospital’s police station, and they have been detained. Now, we would like to ask if you have any other requirements?"

Li Yifei looked at the director, smiled faintly, and said, "I have no further requests, just handle it as per the law."

"Alright, alright, we will definitely give you a satisfactory resolution."

Li Yifei couldn’t be bothered to ask what type of people the police station had arrested, because he knew they were just two insignificant individuals—how could he be satisfied with that? However, he hadn’t planned on doing anything these past two days, since taking care of Ye Yunzhu was his main priority, and other matters could wait.

However, even if Li Yifei didn’t want to deal with other things, he still couldn’t really relax. The birth of Ye Yunzhu’s child was indeed a major event for the Ye family. Initially, the Ye family wanted Ye Yunzhu to give birth in a major hospital in the province to make it more convenient for them to take care of her.

But because of Ye Yunzhu’s insistence, and because they needed Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu’s relationship to continue improving, they allowed Ye Yunzhu to stay in Mile City. Because Ye Yunzhu’s due date had come early, the Ye family couldn’t make it yesterday and had rushed over early today.

Not only were Ye Yunzhu’s parents there, but also her two aunts and her maternal aunt, along with Ye Yunzhu’s cousin, Zhou Xiaoyue.

"Little Yue!"

"Xiaoyao!"

Chu Xiaoyao, seeing Zhou Xiaoyue arrive, immediately ran excitedly to hug her friend. Although they had been in touch by phone daily during the vacations, they hadn’t seen each other in person until now, and they were naturally very affectionate.

Li Yifei also greeted the people who had arrived, all elders, so he had to be polite, while Su Yiyi and Ning Xin’er kept to the side and only offered simple greetings.

The Ye family knew that the people here were all connected to Li Yifei, so they didn’t interact too warmly with Ning Xin’er and the others, as for them, these girls were akin to enemies of Ye Yunzhu.

What was originally a spacious hospital room became crowded as soon as all these family members arrived.

Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu’s father stepped out of the hospital room and went to the stairwell to talk.

Ye Zhenyang, with a serious face, said, "Yifei, Yunzhu now has your child, and I hope you will treat her well in the future."

Li Yifei said earnestly, "Dad, you can rest assured. Although Yunzhu and I are not married, in my heart, she is like my wife. Now that we have a child, I will certainly take good care of her."

"Good, that’s good to hear. I know you’ve been good to Yunzhu, but your wife... seems to be having some trouble now."

Li Yifei said somewhat awkwardly, "She is currently suffering from temporary amnesia and doesn’t remember anything. But once she recovers her memory, there will be no issue at all. Even if she doesn’t regain her memory, I will definitely arrange everything and make sure Yunzhu isn’t hurt."

Ye Zhenyang nodded and said, "I believe in your ability. By the way, the Ye family has been having some friction with a few other families recently, and they are very wary of us. The Old Master of the Ye Family asked me to inquire about your current relationship with the Su Family."

Li Yifei rubbed his nose and replied, "The relationship is okay. Although I can’t say the Su Family would help with everything, pulling a few strings here and there is certainly not a problem."

"That’s settled, then. The Old Master is just worried about not having protection from above, so he cannot act freely. As long as there is protection from above, the rise of the Ye family is as certain as nailing something down."

Li Yifei, seeing Ye Zhenyang’s extremely confident demeanor, suddenly thought of quite a few things. It seemed he had underestimated the Old Master of the Ye family as well as the strength of the Ye family itself. Perhaps there were many things the Old Master had not told him.

Ye Zhenyang, observing Li Yifei’s expression, slightly smiled and said, "The Old Master said you would definitely think he was hiding something from you. He told me to convey to you that as a family head, one cannot let everyone know everything. Many things need to be under one’s own control. Always relying on others never gives one complete assurance."

Li Yifei was again surprised; the Old Master was really impressive to have guessed his reaction. He always thought of himself as careful and never underestimated anyone, but this only applied in some aspects. When it came to real conspiracy, these old men were more formidable, like Su Mengxin’s grandfather, who now was very accommodating towards him, probably with ulterior motives, yet it made Li Yifei feel like he had no way out.

This made Li Yifei feel quite beneficial. This reminder would not matter much if he was not establishing a family, but since he was planning to do so, he had to learn to be as tactful as these old men; otherwise, the family would surely not develop. He immediately said humbly, "Thank you for the Old Master’s teachings; it seems I still have a lot to learn."

Ye Zhenyang patted Li Yifei on the shoulder, saying, "Not bad, not bad. Being open to learning is something many young people cannot do, especially after gaining some strength, it becomes even harder to remain humble. I truly don’t regret letting Yunzhu follow you."

Only then did Li Yifei truly feel a familial connection with Yunzhu’s parents. Even though they had agreed to let Yunzhu follow him, he had felt this familial warmth from them.

In fact, although Ye Zhenyang was now Li Yifei’s father-in-law, in front of Li Yifei, he hadn’t had much confidence before. His son-in-law had always communicated directly with the Old Master, who obviously valued Li Yifei very highly. Now that his daughter had had a child with Li Yifei, he felt a bit more confident, and Li Yifei’s respectful attitude also made him feel the dignity of being a father-in-law.

"Yifei, the Old Master also said that with such ideas, our Ye family will support you fully. If you really succeed and make it big, our family would rather be your vassal, but only on the condition that you are big and strong enough to protect our Ye family."

Li Yifei gave a slight smile and said, "The Old Master is really placing a big pie in the sky with this."

Ye Zhenyang chuckled and said, "Well, the Ye family is now surrounded by enemies. If we stand more due to supporting you, dealing with them will definitely be difficult. I have only this one daughter, and I’m counting on you and Yunzhu to care for me when I am old. Of course, I’ll support you wholeheartedly, but there are many others in the Ye family who are just concerned about the interests of the Ye family, not necessarily like me. The Old Master, as the head of the family, has to consider the interests of the entire Ye family."

The Ye family, being a traditional family, had considerable strength—both financial and manpower were significant aids, as well as various connections, all of which Li Yifei needed.

But the Old Master had ultimately set a baseline: he had to be stronger than the Ye family, which meant that if Li Yifei couldn’t match the strength of the Ye family, they wouldn’t willingly be his vassal.

"I understand. Then it’s essentially like a business bet between us. If I’m not big enough, then I’ll just be considered part of the Ye family; if I am, then the Ye family will fully support me."

"Yes, that’s what the Old Master meant, and meanwhile, we’ll help you, but we can’t be too obvious about it."

"Yes, we can study this matter in more detail later, as I also have to consider my own family."

"Yes, if you only had Yunzhu as your woman, then it wouldn’t be so complicated." Ye Zhenyang couldn’t help feeling some regret; if he hadn’t opposed his daughter’s relationship with Li Yifei from the beginning, Li Yifei might have married Yunzhu sooner and wouldn’t have gotten involved with other women, thus fully becoming part of the Ye family naturally.

Li Yifei could see Ye Zhenyang’s regret and smiled, saying, "Dad, if it wasn’t for your trying to stop me and Yunzhu back then, I might not have gone into the military and achieved what I have today. At most, I would have been placed in a government position, walking the same path as Yunzhu. So I am very grateful to you. Now that I’m also a father, I can understand the parental perspective. Who wouldn’t want their daughter to find the best family and a man that satisfies me to marry?"

Ye Zhenyang chuckled and said, "That’s true, parents are just like that. But this also reminds us, don’t underestimate the young and poor. We still need to watch out for the other party’s potential. If it’s a truly capable child, just like you, then one shouldn’t mind the family background. Once a man’s potential is truly unearthed, he becomes a gold mine."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Dad, you’re really flattering me."

Ye Zhenyang also laughed, "It’s worth flattering. After all, I found a good son-in-law."

The dialogue between son-in-law and father-in-law was very harmonious, pulling the relationship between Li Yifei and the Ye family even closer. Before, Li Yifei might have just been helping the Ye family, but now they were about to engage in a real cooperation.
