Chapter 1667: Chapter 1667

Li Yifei took a moment to observe the parents on both sides and still found it strange. Given Xu Zhenguo and his wife’s temperament, even if the other party were a billionaire, there was no need to be so enthusiastic, right?

Qi Tianlong had a good attitude when facing the two elders, chatting and laughing on the side, seemingly having a great time.

He talked about his experiences abroad and domestic politics, really going on and on.

Qi Tianlong had just seen Xu Shanshan and instantly liked her. She was so beautiful, more beautiful than a celebrity. He heard she had a twin sister who was probably just as beautiful, but unfortunately, she was already married. And the man across who came in without much enthusiasm was Xu Shanshan’s sister’s husband; he didn’t seem like much, just ordinary. Although his clothes were nice, that’s about it. Previously, he heard Xu Shanshan’s twin sister was very capable, being the president of a large company, so it was understandable that Li Yifei dressed a bit better.

Speaking of, the Qi family of three didn’t know much about the Xu family. Today was their first meeting, and coincidentally, the Qi family of three returned, so Xu Zhenguo and his wife were eager to arrange this meeting.

The Qi family was from Mile City but rarely returned. They didn’t know much about Mile City. Otherwise, at the billionaire level in Mile City, few people wouldn’t know about the Li family or recognize Li Yifei. Even if they didn’t know what Li Yifei looked like, they should know what Xu Yingying and other Li family women looked like; this wasn’t a secret.

Reaching that level, not paying attention to the Li family in Mile City doesn’t make sense.

Qi Tianlong had only learned about the Li family in the past few days, from a friend, but he didn’t care much. While studying abroad, Qi Tianlong had worked on Wall Street and stayed in Silicon Valley, meeting many billionaires, so he was disdainful of the so-called domestic billionaires, naturally assuming they exuded a rustic air, living off the sweat and toil of the people, each more unscrupulous than the last; anyway, he could easily list many such prejudices.

Therefore, he wasn’t interested in the Li family, even though in his friend’s words, they highly praised the Li family, almost wanting to worship the Li Family Head.

If you ignore me, I have no reason to bother with you; so rustic, sitting there grinning at your phone, not even greeting or chatting with my parents. There’s no way I’d pay attention to you, Qi Tianlong thought as he glanced at Li Yifei and then looked away.

Qi Tianlong’s parents also frowned secretly, thinking that Xu Zhenguo’s son-in-law was a bit out of line, what with several elders chatting there while he looked down at his phone.

Xu Zhenguo and his wife didn’t react much; whether Li Yifei interacted with the people over there didn’t seem to matter to them. Xu Shanshan’s mother just glanced at him at first; seeing no response, she let it be with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was still chatting with Xu Shanshan and sent a message to Xu Yingying to tell her what was happening here.

Xu Yingying quickly replied, saying, "Well...my parents didn’t tell me, hubby. You’ll have to figure it out yourself. Anyway... you have to keep Shanshan from being taken away by someone else; otherwise, I’ll punish you when I get back!"

Li Yifei grinned, knowing what Xu Yingying was referring to, and replied, "I still find it a bit strange; that guy isn’t anything special, and the parents talk weird too, but my parents are pretty enthusiastic chatting with them, especially Dad. He’s being so nice, which isn’t like him, so I guess there might be something else going on."

"Something else? What could there be? You know, since I married so well, my parents’ thinking has changed too. They don’t want Shanshan to marry too poorly; otherwise, there’d be too big a gap between us, and Shanshan would feel uncomfortable someday. So they found a wealthy young talent for Shanshan; isn’t that normal? Alright, hubby, I have to get back to work; I replied while I was in the bathroom."

"Bathroom?" Li Yifei thought, "You sisters are both in the bathroom now; truly the twin sisters." He understood Xu Yingying was genuinely busy and replied, "Remember to use soft tissues to wipe! Don’t hurt yourself."

Xu Yingying, having just put on her pants, saw this message, snorted, realizing she was so preoccupied with messaging Li Yifei that she forgot to wipe, blushed, and decided to throw away this pair of panties when she got home tonight.

After teasing Xu Yingying, Li Yifei started persuading Xu Shanshan to come out; such matters can’t be avoided.

"I don’t care. I’m holding a long and thick bottle right now!"

"Hmm? What are you doing with a bottle?"

"If you ignore me, I’ll poke myself!" Xu Shanshan threatened.

Li Yifei sweated a bit, not knowing what to say for a moment. He had heard many threats before, but a threat of Xu Shanshan’s level was new to him.

It was cruel; Li Yifei felt a bit scared. If something he had waited so long for was snatched away by a bottle, he felt like he could cry on the spot.

Of course, he also knew that Xu Shanshan was just joking around, which could be considered as playful banter, not something to take seriously. But Li Yifei still replied, "No, definitely not, leave it to me. Well, my dear Shanshan, come out first. I feel like Mom and Dad are acting weird today."

"They are weird, but... you should just kick them out now!" Xu Shanshan also felt something was off; her mother was understandable, but her father, too?

Finally, Xu Shanshan’s mother couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her daughter had been cooped up in the bathroom since she got home. Initially, she thought her daughter had an upset stomach, so she didn’t blame her for losing her manners, but after most of the day passed and she still hadn’t come out, she stood up and went to the bathroom door, knocked, and said, "Daughter, are you done? If you are, come out quickly!"

"I... I have an upset stomach."

"Well, you should be done by now. Come out, Mom will find you some medicine to take. Why are you sitting on the toilet?" Xu Shanshan’s mother said.

Eventually, Xu Shanshan couldn’t hide anymore and walked out leisurely from the bathroom, with her mouth pouting, head lowered, and walking awkwardly. As she passed by Li Yifei, she glared at him, seeming to blame him for not trying harder.

"Come, Shanshan, let Daddy introduce you. This is..." Xu Zhenguo heartily introduced the three people from the Qi family to Xu Shanshan, with Xu Shanshan’s mother especially introducing Qi Tianlong.

Qi Tianlong’s eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Shanshan. From the moment Xu Shanshan came out, his eyes and expression hadn’t changed much, looking like a lecherous man. Li Yifei frowned secretly, though his woman would draw such attention from men, but... being in front of him, it still made Li Yifei uncomfortable.

However, on the surface, Li Yifei remained normal, his head down, eyes on his phone. When Xu Shanshan came out of the bathroom, no one else messaged him, so Li Yifei read the news, and every word from both sides fell into Li Yifei’s ear, including Xu Shanshan’s mother pulling her into the bedroom to whisper a few words. He heard Xu Shanshan’s mother advising her to be obedient, to give face to her parents, to at least get to know someone even if it didn’t work out, and to treat it as meeting a new friend.

Xu Shanshan reluctantly nodded, and her mother flashed a victorious smile.

When she returned, Qi Tianlong proactively started chatting with Xu Shanshan about various countries’ cultures, cuisines, and things women were interested in like luxury goods, from makeup bags to clothes, and other exquisite items meant to catch women’s eyes.

Qi Tianlong thought that by discussing these topics, he could win over many women instantly; over the years, he had captured many hearts with this skill, and more importantly, had physically conquered quite a few.

Unfortunately, his conversation partner this time was Xu Shanshan. Xu Shanshan, years ago, had little interest in these topics. She wasn’t fond of traveling, at least not in the typical sense—joining a crowd to visit another crowded place, people squeezing in, stepping on others, eating poorly and sleeping poorly, taking some hasty photos, then rushing to the next location. She didn’t type of travel, and as for Qi Tianlong’s suggestion of free travel, going to a city with a few like-minded people, Xu Shanshan also disliked.

Since becoming an expert, Xu Shanshan enjoyed going to places with a spirit of adventure, like the Amazon Rainforest or the battlefield with gunfire, or the depths of the Vietnamese jungle she went with Li Yifei. These places attracted her, with a sense of mystery.

As for luxury goods... Does the Li family lack any of these? Does Xu Shanshan need those things? Don’t even mention the luxury brands Qi Tianlong talked about; with collectibles, limited editions, if the Li family wanted them, it’s not difficult. The premise is that the women in the Li family now do not have this hobby. They’re people who are content with moderate things, not pursuing those items intentionally.

What a joke; they’ve reached this level but still chase those things, so Qi Tianlong’s boastful chatting failed miserably. Xu Shanshan even felt her eyelids drooping, a feeling akin to listening to a boring teacher during class.

Shaking her head, Xu Shanshan glanced up and saw Qi Tianlong’s awkward expression. Looking around, she noticed both sets of parents had gathered in the kitchen and dining room, claiming to leave space for the young people.

As for Li Yifei, he had already downloaded a few games and was trying them out one by one.

Admittedly, after not touching these things for a while, playing them occasionally revealed they were indeed good. At least, the game’s graphics and texture showed well on the small phone screen and were quite captivating.

So he played joyously, with his ears and eyes’ peripheral vision still attentive to Xu Shanshan and Qi Tianlong.

Xu Shanshan’s mouth twitched slightly, then she smiled at Qi Tianlong, lifted herself up, scooched over to Li Yifei, and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you playing? Let me take a look."

She then sat down beside Li Yifei, their hips almost touching, their shoulders naturally did too.

Qi Tianlong’s mouth twitched as well, but it was a jealous twitch!
