Qi Xingwang is a ruthless man; he's not someone to mess with.
Furthermore, his son Tang Qian genuinely liked Qi Zhengmin, and had even privately told him that he was willing to put all his properties under Qi Zhengmin's name to show his sincerity.
While they were delighted by their son's change and determination, they were also worried that human nature is unpredictable and that their son's hard work might be in vain.
Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang were in a dilemma. However, considering the Qi family's background and wealth, they realized that it wasn't because they coveted Tang Qian's money. It must be because of their son's past that they felt uneasy, so they were looking for reasons to discipline their son, Tang Qian.
After Tang Qian's persuasion, the elderly couple put aside their prejudices and felt that as long as their son and Qi Zhengmin truly loved each other, nothing else mattered.
Old Master Huo didn't believe Old Master Tang's words, but since this man had principles and a bottom line, he was willing to give him some pointers.
"Alright, let's eat first, and we'll go over for a visit later," said Old Master Huo. "By the way, Brother Qi likes good wine, so don't hesitate to bring your family's special supply."
Since he's working for Old Tang anyway, Old Master Huo has to make him produce something good.
“Alright!” Old Master Tang laughed. “Nothing is more important than my son’s marriage right now. My youngest son, my eldest grandson, the lifeblood of my parents, that’s no exaggeration. If Xiao Si can’t have a happy family, I won’t be able to close my eyes in peace when I’m gone.”
"Hehe, then show some sincerity." Old Master Huo laughed. "The Qi family is no ordinary family. Putting aside their huge family business, let's not talk about that. Brother Qi has some connections with us, so we won't say much about that either. Just talk about the old lady of the Qi family. She's a real person! Her word is law. Even Qi Shuliang has to listen to her, and so does our Brother Qi."
"Oh?" Old Master Tang asked in surprise. "You mean..."
After losing his wife and son, Brother Qi never remarried and lived alone.
Unlike some men who marry young, beautiful women and have children.
So it turns out she had someone in her heart.
Well, even Brother Qi won't speak up for him anymore.
Old Master Tang sighed.
"That's the gist of it. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone can understand it. So, when you talk to your mother, be careful and sincere when you speak to the Qi family's mother. If you act superior and arrogant, as if your family is powerful and wealthy, the old lady won't care."
"Thank you for the reminder, Old Huo." Old Master Tang nodded repeatedly. A person who could earn such praise from Old Huo was definitely not a simple person. He had to be careful and make sure his son's marriage didn't fall through.
Mr. Tang couldn't wait to go home and tell Mrs. Tang what had happened.
Tang Qian's marriage is a thorn in the side of Old Madam Tang, especially after meeting the Li family yesterday. Li Gongru was dressed in gold and silver and had a man by her side, looking very intimate, which made her very angry.
Li Gongru has found a man, so her son can too, and he'll find someone even better.
"I understand what you mean. Let alone being respectful, I'd be willing to grovel before that old lady Qi. After all, she's not from Yanjing; she'll be going back soon. Being respectful will leave a good impression and prevent others from laughing at us," said Madam Tang. "As for the conditions Old Lady Qi proposed, they're understandable. Our son has ruined so many young women in the past; this is the price he should pay. If I were in her shoes, I would make the same demands, so it's not unreasonable. If our son truly repents, Zhengmin is willing to live with him. If he relapses, it's his own fault, not anyone else's."
Grandpa Tang agreed wholeheartedly, nodding and saying, "Yes, that's exactly it."
After breakfast, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang prepared some things and came to Huo Yingjie's house with Grandpa Huo.
Old Qi wasn't surprised to see Old Master Huo. He knew that Brother Huo would come again, and he definitely wouldn't wait until after the military parade to visit him.
Later, I saw Grandpa Tang, who was also an acquaintance. Although we weren't particularly close, we could still exchange a few words.
"Brother Tang, Sister-in-law Tang, please come in and have a seat," Old Man Qi said with a smile, pretending not to know that Old Master Tang was Tang Qian's father.
Grandpa Tang chuckled and said, "Ah, it's been so many years since we last met."
"Yes, it's been almost twenty years," Old Qi said with a smile. "Brother Tang, how are Sister-in-law Tang?"
"What's good or bad about it? We've finally made it through," said Madam Tang. "You look much younger than us because you've distanced yourself from the world."
"Hehe!" Old Qi chuckled. "I live alone, picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, gazing leisurely at the southern mountains. I don't have many worries, so I look younger."
In fact, Old Man Qi was only four or five years younger than them, but from the outside, he looked like he was more than ten years younger.
Old Man Qi knew that this might be related to the feng shui of Qi Family Village, or it might be related to their usual boxing practice, or it might be related to the health-strengthening pills He Tiantian gave them. He could talk about the first two, but not the last one.
"It seems we should find a secluded spot in the mountains to rest and recuperate when we have time," Old Master Huo chuckled. "Come on, let's not stand outside, let's sit inside."
In the courtyard, Grandma Wang and Grandma Qi were embroidering together.
Wearing reading glasses, she carefully embroidered.
Old Master Huo smiled and said, "Sister Qi, come, let me introduce you. This is Brother Qi's former comrade-in-arms. We have a good relationship, and he is also Tang Qian's parents. They heard that you and Brother Qi came to Yanjing, so they came to pay a special visit."
Since it was about Tang Qian, Old Master Huo quickly made it clear.
Everyone here is intelligent; pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth will not lead to success.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qi smiled warmly and said, "Hehe, so you are Tang Qian's parents! Come, come, have a seat!"
Old Qi also greeted Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang, saying, "Speaking of the two children, it's truly fate."
"That's right!" said Grandpa Tang. "I was overjoyed when I heard about the relationship between our two families. It's a perfect match! My wife and I came here today, partly to pay a visit, and partly to ask if we need to prepare anything. As long as the two children are doing well, we, as elders, are all in favor."
"Yes, young lady, do you have any other requests?" Old Madam Tang asked. "If you do, just say so. We will do our best to fulfill your requests if we can, and we will also try our best to fulfill those requests if we cannot."
"Hehe, what requirements do you have!" Grandma Qi laughed. "Tang Qian went to Qi Family Village a while ago and I met him. He is a polite child. Although he made mistakes in the past, he corrected them, so his merits outweigh his flaws."

I highly recommend my best friend Tuanzi123's "Ancient Counterattack Strategy," a story about a woman who travels to ancient times, conquers all, and seduces men, gathers followers, and subjugates the sea.
