"Father, I will not go back. You can let me go back, but only if you accept Fuyi."
With a hint of threat, Yang Guowei mustered his courage and challenged Yang Kaiye.
Turning around to look at Yang Guowei, Li Fuyi inevitably came into view, and Yang Kaiye quickly looked away.
I wonder what Yang Guowei likes about that dark-skinned girl.
Could it be that unique black outfit that shimmers with iridescent colors under the light?
"Okay, if you're not going back, then I'll head back first."
His expression turned cold. Yang Kaiye planned to go back and make arrangements before looking for Yang Guowei. He had just received the news and was worried about Yang Guowei, so he hadn't even returned to his hometown.
He went straight to Yang Guowei, but ultimately disappointed him.
"Walk."
With his men, Yang Kaiye left without looking back.
They just left, so easily.
If I remember correctly, the Yang family only has one son, Yang Guowei.
It's unbelievable how easily he left.
They're gone.
As soon as Boss Li looked up, Yang Kaiye's figure disappeared from sight, just as imposing as when he arrived.
He arrived in a flurry of activity and left just as swiftly. Yang Kai's arrival was sudden, and his departure was equally abrupt.
The feast was almost over, and everyone was waiting for the main event to begin.
Inside the main room, Yang Guowei took half a step forward, then couldn't take the rest. Li Fuyi was behind him, and Li Laosan and Li Laotou were watching him.
"Guowei, don't worry, your father may have other things to do."
Her downcast eyes held undisguised malice. Li Fuyi still remembered Yang Kaiye's humiliation. She couldn't help it; ever since going to the Northwest, she felt something was missing.
He could only helplessly watch Yang Kaiye leave, while outwardly comforting Yang Guowei.
Yang Guowei, the only one she could reach on the springboard above.
"Guowei, your father only has you as his son, so don't worry. Fuyi is right. Your father has just returned and probably still has a lot of things to deal with. His anger is only temporary."
Old Li was also unsure of Yang Kaiye's intentions.
When he was working for Yang Kaiye, he did odd jobs, like cleaning up after Yang Kaiye. Otherwise, how could someone as insignificant as him have made Yang Kaiye remember him and send Yang Guowei to him?
The reason he left back then was because when he was cleaning up, he found that there were still some yellow croakers left to collect.
A fleeting thought of greed crossed Old Man Li's mind, and he hid the yellow croaker. Perhaps because he had something on his mind, he felt guilty in everything he did. Fearing he would give himself away, Old Man Li left Yang Kaiye and returned to his hometown.
The yellow croaker, recalling the missing gold, made Old Man Li extremely sad.
If he still had that safety net, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state, old and unable to even be rescued by the old lady Li who took care of him.
"I see."
Yang Guowei might be skeptical of what Li Fuyi said, but he would believe everything Old Man Li said.
After all, Old Man Li used to be one of the odd jobs in their family, so he must have some understanding of Yang Kaiye.
"Let's go, let's all go outside."
Laughing, Li Laosan called Li Fuyi and Yang Guowei outside; the final step of the engagement ceremony wasn't finished yet.
Li Lao Er and Zhao Da Hua, who were in the corner, were ignored, but they didn't care. They had already let it go and just hoped that the troublemakers in front of them would leave quickly.
The person has come out.
Look at them, each one more listless than the last, like wilted persimmons.
What the heck is going on?
In no time at all, Old Man Li appeared before them. If they hadn't been wearing glasses, they would have thought he had floated in.
Their arrival can't possibly mean anything good.
It's no wonder that Boss Li and Li Yi thought that way; that's just how Old Man Li is.
Yang Kaiye, his former boss, had just arrived and then left, and Old Man Li immediately came looking for him. Anyone in his shoes would see this as a good thing.
"Boss, come with me."
As if certain that Old Man Li would come, Old Man Li turned and went inside after finishing his sentence.
The familiar main room smelled unfamiliar. Older Li arrived, carrying Li Yiyi. His daughter loved melon seeds; as her father, he should indulge her.
By the way, where can I buy watermelon seeds? I'd like to get a couple and plant them in my daughter's online space.
Enjoying melons while eating melons—nothing beats this.
As the others followed behind, Old Man Li, who had been walking ahead, breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "I knew it. Old Man Li is probably still holding a grudge about something that happened when he was a child."
This time, he found the symptoms and administered the medication precisely. Boss Li will definitely forgive him.
"Boss, are you still resentful towards Dad?"
Boss Li: ? ? ?
[Dad, I recognize every single word, but why can't I understand it when they're put together?]
Li Yiyi expressed her incomprehension; she truly couldn't understand where Old Man Li had come to his conclusion.
Li Laoda: Daughter, it's a good thing you don't understand.
"Eldest son, I know I was wrong back then, but we had our reasons."
Old Li remained silent, his eyes unreadable. Old Li thought he had hit the nail on the head and began to find plausible explanations for himself and Old Lady Li.
"I remember when you were born, you were so tiny, weak, and sickly. Your father and mother were young then, and they believed the old folks' advice was too much to bear, so they thought they couldn't raise you..."
At this point in his writing, even Old Man Li himself didn't know what to say.
It's an indisputable fact that we won't support Li Laoda; there's no way to avoid it no matter what.
[Dad, it turns out you were as big as a mouse when you were little.]
Li Yiyi's attention was drawn to Old Man Li's gestures. "It's just this small, isn't it just like a mouse?"
