Chapter 297: Liu Guang Qi Holds a Wedding Banquet

Yan Jiecheng wanted to pull Yu Li's hand, but stopped at her face; in the end he didn't dare to strike.

The world's malice was still about to crush this woman; her words were spoken in anger, yet how could they not also be her own beautiful wish?

Many women in the courtyard envied Chen Hong, envying her for finding such a good man.

She accepted everything about him, not disliking his tall stature and roughness.

They even heard that Yang Qing lay humiliated underneath every day, yet he never changed his original intention to treat Chen Hong well.

If a man had just one of Yang Qing's virtues, women would willingly spend their lives with him.

Not to mention Yang Qing, who had achieved success in his career.

If it were ancient times, with the practice of one husband and many wives, women would line up.

Women are like that; as long as you strike their heart, they can tolerate much.

Just like Ximen Qing, in ancient times he was the dream lover of many.

(Yang Qing said politely that he couldn't cope, really couldn't cope.)

He would not touch a married woman.

His bottom line is already low enough; let him keep at least a bit of it.

Compromising with Qin Huairu is merely the lingering issue of the Thirteenth Aunt causing trouble.

Who wouldn't want a Thirteenth Aunt? Or rather, a Thirteenth Aunt who obeys your every command.

A Thirteenth Aunt completely under your control.

Yan Jiecheng suddenly burst into tears, squatting on the ground, covering his mouth, stifling his sobs.

Yu Li felt a little heartache for him.

Seeing that he hadn't struck, she reached out, patted Yan Jiecheng's head, and coaxed.

"I was just speaking in anger, teasing you."

"Am I, Yu Li, that kind of person?"

"I came in clean and pure; if I can't go on, I'll leave clean and pure."

This promise carries both assurance and firmness; if you don't change, we really can't get by.

Hearing Yu Li's words, Yan Jiecheng's sense of humiliation and grievance faded considerably.

If Yu Li divorces him, what will he do?

He couldn't bear to part with Yu Li, his wife whom he had raised so well; he absolutely couldn't let her benefit someone else.

"I will definitely become better; I guarantee it."

He spoke the guarantee with his mouth, but in his heart he was considering the possibility of borrowing seed from Yang Qing.

As long as he could keep Yu Li, this bit of humiliation, he said, perhaps he could endure it.

As Yu Li said, at worst we could leave this place.

Sometimes people are like that; once they go down the wrong path, they can't see the truth of things.

Is that the child's problem? Once Yu Li has tasted heaven's bliss, how could she possibly return to live with you?

Just like Qin Huairu, if Jia Dongxu were still alive, let her choose between Yang Qing and Jia Dongxu.

I fear Qin Huairu would rather be a mistress than continue living with Jia Dongxu.

What nonsense, a mama's boy wouldn't say that; it's soft and feeble, with no impact.

Things always turn toward dramatization.

It catches many people off guard.

Those who followed Yang Qing in cultivation now also include Yan Jiecheng.

Upon seeing Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and he tacitly understood something.

Days passed hastily.

Liu Guang Qi returned, accompanied by his wife and children.

Liu Hai Zhong and Second Granny were overjoyed, completely forgetting their eldest son's past.

The couple not only fawned over Liu Guang Qi, asking after his well‑being, but also fawned over his wife and their own grandson.

Seeing this made Liu Guangtian feel nauseated.

As Liu Guang Qi stepped through the door, he saw the house completely changed.

It felt like entering a modern apartment suite, sufficiently contemporary and upscale.

Liu Guang Qi's wife, upon seeing the current home, took a liking to it.

Especially the washroom in the house made her unable to put it down.

This is practically the dream home.

Liu Guangtian couldn't stand her rustic appearance.

"Jingcheng has abolished the split‑housing policy; from now on it will only issue a one‑time rent subsidy of two hundred yuan."

"The subdistrict has a long‑term rental project, and the city also has Honghai Real Estate Company from which one can rent."

"Whether it's the subdistrict's long‑term rental or Honghai Real Estate Company's buildings, they are all of this style."

Liu Guang Qi's wife's eyes lit up.

"Give money? If the couple each gets two hundred, that totals four hundred."

"Whether renting or buying a house from someone with a property deed, it's quite suitable."

"Of course, renting and buying are both impossible; with four hundred yuan, wouldn't it be better to keep it for personal use?"

"Isn't the house already available?"

"Your man is still the eldest; inheriting the house shouldn't be taken for granted?"

That evening she began discussing it with Liu Guang Qi.

Liu Guang Qi directly shook his head.

Who would have thought things would change so quickly? Back then, for the house, I suffered so much grievance.

Now they suddenly aren't separating rooms.

Staying here is impossible; you don't know what kind of person my dad is.

He's short-tempered, low-cultured, and likes to put on airs; I've had enough.

Next year, when we return to the capital, we'll find a place far from them and rent an apartment.

We can't spare this money; otherwise our family would suffer who knows how much.

His wife thought the parents-in-law were okay, but since her husband said they should move out, that's also fine—no need to deal with mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relations, just live her own little life, which is indeed nice.

Then I'll listen to you.

But your parents won't come cause trouble, will they?

Liu Guang Qi shook his head.

No, we won't tell them we've come back.

Wait until they find out, then say we just came back.

Let's delay it as long as we can.

Anyway, I've had enough.

Two days later.

Er Da Ye set up the wedding banquet.

His daughter-in-law handles the gift money, and he pays for the wedding banquet himself.

The standout thing is that his father is overbearing.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guang Fu observed and remembered the old couple's behavior.

Once planted, the seeds will surely sprout.

Liu Hai Zhong remained blissfully unaware.

So the story's ending was already predetermined.

Trying to warm a heart that has already gone cold is extremely difficult.

Yang Qing also watched all this; the Siheyuan's storyline had all changed like this, yet Er Da Ye could still repeat his mistakes, which also let him witness the terror of historical inertia.

This once again strengthened his resolve to flee.

If he stays, he'll be utterly swept away by the historical torrent.

Still, the same saying: the real world won't tolerate someone as awesome as him.

Liu Guang Qi returned, and some misunderstandings were resolved.

After the wedding banquet, Er Da Ye inquired about Liu Guang Qi's situation.

When he heard that the whole matter had nothing to do with Sha Zhu,

Liu Hai Zhong's face went utterly black.

Liu Guang Qi quickly asked what was wrong.

Second Aunt explained.

Back then, there were rumors that you left because Sha Zhu had tricked you.

Your father, believing it to be true, fought with Sha Zhu.

Liu Guang Qi's disdain was fleeting.

Again with the fighting—what else can this father of his do besides beating people?

Disappointment, utter disappointment.

When I left back then, I had met Xu Damao, and no one else knew I was leaving.

Xu Damao?

Er Da Ye, he's not completely stupid yet.

He recalled Xu Damao's meddling.

This bad seed, I'll make him look bad.

Liu Guang Qi looked down on his father even more.

All said, his leaving had nothing to do with anyone.

How can the reasoning not be made clear?
