Chapter 1666: Chapter 1666

The two of them went to the garage, picked an SUV, and loaded the gifts and supplements for the two elderly parents.

Li Yifei greeted his family, then drove off.

The elderly parents’ current residence wasn’t far from the Li family, as they didn’t want to live with the Li family and often felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, they didn’t want to be too far from their two daughters, especially Xu Shanshan, who was becoming more of a challenge with each passing year. The elderly couple was always worried about this daughter, who was nearing thirty and still hadn’t found a partner. She still acted like a little girl all day long, especially in front of her parents, as if she hadn’t grown up. This was unacceptable.

So, the elderly couple had been scheming for a long time, seeking information here and there, and finally, their wishes were fulfilled with today’s setup.

When Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan carried large bags of gifts and supplements upstairs, the elderly couple saw them. Today, the two were dressed very formally in suits, and Xu Shanshan’s mother had changed into an outfit worth tens of thousands.

The two waited at the door, and as Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan came upstairs, Xu Zhenguo opened the door.

Li Yifei quickly greeted them, and Xu Shanshan called out for her parents as well, carrying things into the house.

"No respect, don’t you know to let your brother-in-law in first?" Xu Shanshan’s mother tapped her lightly, whispering.

Li Yifei quickly said it didn’t matter. He knew why Xu Shanshan was eager to get inside. Just a moment ago in the hallway, they had kissed for a few minutes. In such a dim environment, they had to worry about anyone passing by or anyone from inside walking out, which made it all the more thrilling. After they finished kissing, Xu Shanshan told Li Yifei that she was wet...

So, she had to hurry to the bathroom, either to wipe it off or change her underwear; otherwise, the wet area would only get larger.

Xu Shanshan hurried inside, while Li Yifei licked his lips and felt that his mouth area was all wet. Xu Shanshan just wouldn’t let him wipe it off, but once they entered the house and were seen under the light, it would be too obvious.

"Next time, don’t bring anything over. Shanshan and Yingying keep bringing things home, but how much can we eat? The house is still full of stuff," Xu Shanshan’s mother said with a smile. Despite what she said, she was still delighted with the gifts.

Li Yifei chuckled and followed them in.

Xu Shanshan had already kicked off her shoes and rushed to the bathroom, while Li Yifei placed his shoes neatly and put on slippers. As he glanced at the living room, he was slightly surprised to see that there were other people present beside the elderly couple. There was a pair of elderly people in addition to a man who looked between twenty-five and thirty.

When Li Yifei looked over, the three people in the living room were also assessing him. Seeing his tall and robust build, looking energetic, and arriving with Xu Shanshan, they quickly understood who he was. A woman stood up, walked over, and with a smile on her face, said, "This must be your family’s other daughter’s husband, right?"

Seeing such a scene, Li Yifei understood that it was Xu Shanshan who was going to be set up today. He hummed internally but couldn’t blame the elderly couple. As long as the secret was not revealed, they would remain in the dark, always worrying about Xu Shanshan’s marriage prospects.

Seeing the woman talking to him, Li Yifei returned a smile. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, outwardly he represented both Xu Yingying and Xu Zhenguo, so he couldn’t neglect etiquette.

Xu Shanshan’s mother quickly introduced, "This is the sister of my old classmate; you can call her Aunt. Over there is her husband; call him Uncle. And over there... is their child, Qi Tianlong. You’re about the same age, so you should have topics in common. Be sure to chat more later."

Li Yifei called out "Aunt" and then "Uncle." When it came to Qi Tianlong, Li Yifei nodded as a greeting, saying, "Hello."

Qi Tianlong’s parents both stood up, but Qi Tianlong just sat there with an arrogant look. If his father hadn’t nudged him, he probably wouldn’t have stood up.

Only then did he call Li Yifei "Brother," and he didn’t extend his hand for a handshake.

Li Yifei was actually relieved. With a demeanor like that, even if there was an attempt to introduce Xu Shanshan to him, it was one hundred percent bound to fail.

But Qi Tianlong’s parents spoke with quite a bit of moderation. After everyone sat down, they briefly introduced Qi Tianlong’s parents’ work. Li Yifei then nodded. These two were doing business in the south, and it seemed their business was substantial. Judging from their attire and demeanor, it must be in the tens of millions, if not more. Based on their confidence, their assets might well exceed a hundred million.

Catching a moment during the pleasantries, Xu Shanshan’s mother pulled Li Yifei into the kitchen and softly instructed, "Yifei, you’ve seen it today—the meeting is for Shanshan to go on a date. Later on, you need to help persuade that stubborn girl and also help evaluate him. You’ve seen a lot and are pretty sharp at judging people."

Li Yifei said with some difficulty, "Mom, this matter... let’s just forget it. My first impression isn’t good. We came in, and he didn’t even stand up to greet us." Latest content publıshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

"That’s a minor issue. This young Qi is quite talented, a graduate from Peking University, studied abroad in Europe, and now he’s doing his PhD. His parents said once he returns, he could take over the family business, supposedly it’s worth a few billion," Xu Shanshan’s mother whispered.

Li Yifei almost rolled his eyes. The Li family now, let alone a few billion, can easily come up with a few hundred billion. Just in Li Yifei’s little personal account, there are a few hundred billion, although they’re all overseas, he never has to think twice if he wants to spend money on something.

But the problem is Xu Shanshan’s mother isn’t the type to be blinded by money. She never has been. Li Yifei silently complained, if that were the case, things would be simpler; Li Yifei could just throw money at the old couple to agree on his good thing with Xu Shanshan, and it would be over.

Turning his head to glance at the living room, Li Yifei still couldn’t understand, suspiciously looking at Xu Shanshan’s mother, only to hear her say, "Money isn’t important, the key is... nowadays it’s hard to find someone so well-educated and with a good family background. Our family’s two girls are both proud. Yingying found you, and that’s her happiness and good fortune, but there’s only one of you. Even if Shanshan wants to find someone, there isn’t anyone!"

How strange is that? Li Yifei blinked, always feeling like there’s more to the old lady’s words, but she wasn’t showing anything on her face.

Is it worth all this trouble just for that? Li Yifei continued frowning in confusion.

"Try it out, the boy can speak five or six languages, and quite fluently. It’s said he even represented Asia and Huaxia at several international forums, giving speeches and receiving many honors. He’s some sort of youth, he just said a bunch of stuff himself, and his parents nodded to confirm it all."

"So what if he only knows five or six languages? I know more than he does," Li Yifei muttered.

Xu Shanshan’s mother clicked her tongue, "The problem is, there’s only one of you, where can I find a second? I think this condition is quite good. We don’t really care about the money, your dad and I eat three meals a day just fine. Our salaries are enough for us to live on. Your family... is already the richest in the province; you can’t spend it all in several lifetimes. You all have a good relationship, so even if Shanshan hits hard times later, you won’t just ignore her. The key is, he’s a good person, tall enough, and looks quite like a handsome guy."

Li Yifei almost couldn’t listen anymore. He interrupted Xu Shanshan’s mother, saying, "Mom, discussing this with me is useless. I’m just the brother-in-law. This matter still depends on Shanshan’s own will. If she doesn’t like him, I think forcing it is not a good idea. If she does, then everything is easy to discuss."

"Are you going to help or not?" Xu Shanshan’s mother, seeing Li Yifei decline, directly asked with a stern face.

"I will, I’ll do my best," Li Yifei agreed.

Xu Shanshan’s mother burst out laughing, patted Li Yifei, and said, "You child, I have to confront you with a stern face. Alright, go chat, don’t forget the task I gave you, and work hard!"

Li Yifei walked out with a wry smile, grabbed a banana from the fruit platter, broke it in half, and took two big bites.

He was about to sit down when he heard his phone ring. Picking it up, he saw a message from Xu Shanshan, directly asking him, "What nonsense is my mom up to, inviting any random person in?"

"Overseas returnee, rich second generation, knows five or six languages, represents Asia, represents Huaxia..."

"Represents my *ss, I don’t care. Husband, dear brother-in-law, you have to kick him out for me. I feel uncomfortable even looking at him. What is this all about, how can he be allowed in? What was my mom thinking?"

"Hahaha!" Li Yifei suppressed his laughter, but inside he was bursting with joy. Xu Shanshan was using her own way to coax him into not getting angry. Although she didn’t say it directly, the meaning was clear. In her desperation, Xu Shanshan even used the term "husband," making Li Yifei quite pleased. He shook his head and saw another message from Xu Shanshan: "Dear Big C*ck husband, I’m begging you, help me think of a way. My legs are going numb sitting on the toilet."

"Big Jaguar husband, I’m really going to suffocate in the bathroom. I can’t stay in a good house, having to hide in the bathroom. What is this? If I had known it would be , I wouldn’t have come back, staying at home is so much better!"

Big Jaguar? Li Yifei read it several times. Suddenly, he understood the meaning of those three words and couldn’t help but feel even more pleased. He quickly typed a reply, "Of course I want to get him out, but the problem is with the way things are today, we can’t send him off without finishing the meal."

"I don’t care, I... I’m your woman. If you don’t help me, I’ll cry. No, I won’t cry. I’ll just go with him, anyway..."

"Nonsense, how could I not care? Let me think of a way, but you need to come out first. Hiding in the bathroom isn’t good either. Free love, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be, even if he jumps out of a building, it’s none of our business," Li Yifei quickly soothed Xu Shanshan when he saw she was anxious. If her rebellious streak was provoked, who knows if she might really leave with the guy. Of course, once outside the door, Xu Shanshan would likely end up beating the guy so hard he’d walk in standing and leave lying down.
