Chapter 180 Refusing to Leave
Although Qi Chenyan knew about Yu Li's family background.
But he was unaware of the specific details inside.
From the very beginning, when Yu Li mentioned meeting his parents, she only mentioned taking him to meet his grandmother; she never mentioned anyone else.
Moreover, for children who divorce and remarry, the previous child suffers a hidden but enormous harm from their original family.
Qi Chenyan respected Yu Li and did not inquire in detail, but he knew that Yu Li's relationship with her parents must not be very good.
But she is, after all, Yu Li's biological mother, and the other party has already come knocking on her door.
If it were just Ren Qingxue coming to the door alone, Qi Chenyan could easily deal with her and get rid of her.
However, the other party is an elder, and even if the relationship with his wife is not harmonious, the due respect should still be shown. This is the etiquette that a junior should have.
"I'm usually too busy with work and can't always find the time, so I've been lacking in manners. I hope you'll forgive me."
Just by looking at him, you can tell he's a very cultured person. His manner of speaking is just different from that of ordinary people.
Sun Wenxiu couldn't help but blame Yu Li in her heart again.
That eldest daughter is really something. I don't know how she got so lucky to find such an outstanding, handsome, and rich husband. They're already married, but she doesn't even bring him home to meet us.
If they bring it home, wouldn't their family become the envy of the entire neighborhood?
Especially the family in the same building, whose daughter married a boss, but the boss was ten years older than her and was a divorcee.
But they were rich, and whenever they visited during holidays, they would bring all sorts of expensive-looking gifts.
That old woman was quite the braggart; she always liked to talk about how well her daughter had married and how rich her son-in-law was when she was dancing in the square.
He was beaming from ear to ear, showing off what he brought today and what he gave away tomorrow.
These people are all opportunists; once they see that the family has become wealthy, they all try to curry favor with them.
Although Sun Wenxiu looked down on him, she still tried to curry favor with him.
Unfortunately, that family looked down on them. After all, everyone in the neighborhood knew that her husband loved playing mahjong and was idle all day long.
Even the money to send his youngest daughter to school was borrowed from his eldest daughter.
This made Sun Wenxiu extremely jealous. Now that her eldest daughter had found such a rich and handsome husband, if she brought him back to the neighborhood, wouldn't the people in the neighborhood be jumping up and down with envy?
Especially that family in the same building, just the son-in-law's face alone is enough to outshine her old and fat second-marriage son-in-law!
"It's alright, it's alright. It's normal for you young people to be busy with work. Actually, as your parents, I shouldn't be bothering you two."
“But lately I’ve been having headaches and insomnia. You know, the medical conditions at the rural clinics aren’t very good. So Qingxue told me to come to the big city and see for myself.”
"But this is my first time in Beijing, and I don't know anyone here. Qingxue just graduated from university and doesn't even have a place to stay, so you see..."
Clearly, Sun Wenxiu's words implied that she wanted to stay with Qi Chenyan and Yu Li, and not just by herself, as she also brought her young daughter.
And if she really moves in, it won't just be her youngest daughter; she'll probably bring her whole family with her.
Since Qi Chenyan and Yu Li got married, Yu Li was initially unwilling to move to the lakeside villa.
Although Yu Li had mentioned wanting to bring her grandmother to Beijing, after all, the elderly woman was getting on in years, and if she suddenly fell ill and fainted in the countryside, it could be fatal if not discovered in time.
But Yu Li never thought of leaving her grandmother in the seaside villa. Instead, after she had enough money, she and her best friend bought a house together, just to provide for her grandmother's retirement.
The old lady felt that she was still in good health, and even though Yu Li wanted her to move to the city every time she called her grandmother, her grandmother just wouldn't agree.
I can't bear to leave my old house in the countryside, nor the rice noodle shop where I've worked for most of my life, and even more so, my old neighbors with whom I've lived for decades.
As for Sun Wenxiu, Yu Li never took Qi Chenyan to meet her, which shows that in Yu Li's heart, whether or not she has this mother is not important at all.
But she still managed to brazenly block people at the gate without even saying hello.
However, Qi Chenyan was puzzled as to how Sun Wenxiu and the others knew the address of the Lakeview Villa.
It couldn't possibly have been Yu Li who told them, since judging from Yu Li's attitude towards Ren Qingxue yesterday, it's clear that her relationship with her mother's side isn't good.
It's impossible for Grandma to do it either, because Yu Li never mentioned the lakeside villa, let alone the people in the village.
Normal people can understand it, let alone someone like Qi Chenyan who has seen all kinds of people.
Regardless of whether he's willing or not, Yu Li would probably be the first to stand up and refuse.
Qi Chenyan's tone remained unhurried and polite, but it was actually distant: "This was also my oversight. I will book a hotel for you and make an appointment with a neurology specialist."
"If you don't have to wait in line, you can get all the procedures done in two hours at most. If you feel you have plenty of time, you can stay in Beijing for another night to enjoy the night view and visit some famous historical sites."
"I'll book your train ticket and take you back then, how does that sound?"
With just a few words, Qi Chenyan dissuaded Sun Wenxiu from her idea of living in the lakeside villa with her family.
From accommodation to medical care to travel, Qi Chenyan took everything into consideration.
Sun Wenxiu was surprised by Qi Chenyan's answer and stammered for a while.
Ren Qingxue continued, "Brother-in-law, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Opening a hotel is such a waste of money. Actually, it doesn't matter where we stay."
"Besides, we're already here. Going back and forth would be a waste of time and trouble for you, brother-in-law. Mom and I can share a room, and I can just squeeze in here with you."
Although they were kept outside, just from the imposing and luxurious gate, they knew that the villas inside must be more luxurious than the last.
If she could take this opportunity to move in, Ren Qingxue would definitely stick to the villa and would never move out no matter what.
Although Qi Chenyan had indeed seen many shameless people, it was rare to see someone like Ren Qingxue who pretended not to understand human language and still desperately tried to get in.
“No trouble at all, I can have a driver pick you up in a private car. But since you’re worried about the hassle, I’ll book a hotel for you near the hospital so you don’t have to walk around.”
Seeing that Qi Chenyan was completely unconvinced and even took out his phone to book a hotel.
Ren Qingxue immediately became anxious, quickly pinched Sun Wenxiu's arm, and winked at her forcefully.
If it weren't for the fact that they were mother and daughter, Sun Wenxiu would have quickly understood what she meant. She immediately covered her head, swayed her body, and cried out in pain.
"Ouch, I'm dizzy, I can't stand up, I can't stand up."
While supporting her, Ren Qingxue pretended to be anxious and said, "Brother-in-law, Mom seems to be having another bout of dizziness. She needs to lie down in bed right away!"
