Chapter 755: Today's Children Are All Monsters

The fact that Lin Shi Yi has a wife is not something Tang Mi is just making up.

In this regard, Tang Mi's news is more up‑to‑date.

Because Tang Mi's grandfather Tang Yao and Lin Feng's father Lin Xiangdong have an unusual relationship.

After Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun made a trip to Han Guo, they went to the Chinatown of San Francisco, Mi Guo.

It wasn't specifically to find a wife for Lin Shi Yi, but to catch up.

The elderly couple now worries about nothing; when they have free time they just wander around.

After Lin Xiangdong and Tang Yao drank a few sips of Alcohol, they began talking about grandchildren.

Tang Yao sighed on the spot.

Because none of Lin Xiangdong's grandchildren were born to Tang Mi.

Fortunately, Lin Xiangdong didn't mention Tang Mi, nor did he sound accusatory.

Then Lin Xiangdong talked about the amusing stories of the little ones, highlighting Lin Shi Yi.

Tang Yao laughed and said, "That's easy; we could just arrange a marriage right now, couldn't we?"

The number of families now wishing to marry into the Lin Family is unknown.

If the news spreads, the girls slated for a child marriage with Lin Shi could fill the entire Chinatown.

Lin Xiangdong shook his head at the time and said, "That won't work; you don't know that my daughter‑in‑law, who is Lin Shi Yi's biological mother, is a woman with her own opinions.

If she's unhappy, it won't be easy to explain to Xiao Feng."

Tang Yao chuckled and said, "I'm not saying we have to actually arrange a marriage; didn't you say Xiao Shi Yi's emotional intelligence in this area is low?

The temperament of children is the easiest to change; we can start cultivating them now, can't we?"

As soon as Tang Yao finished speaking, Lin Xiangdong suddenly understood, "You mean letting Xiao Shi Yi train ahead of schedule?"

Tang Yao nodded and said, "What era is this? Young people all have their own opinions; we old folks can't control them.

Back then, when Xiao Feng didn't like Tang Mi, or Tang Mi didn't want to marry Xiao Feng, I had no way, right?

Regardless of whether it works out later, we'll set it now; if it works, great, if not, no big deal."

"Then what good suggestions do you have?"

Lin Xiangdong asked.

Tang Yao considered for a moment and said, "In Chinatown, I think there's one place that's most suitable. Tomorrow I'll bring my brother and sister‑in‑law; you'll understand once you see it."

The things said at the Alcohol table, especially decisions made while half‑drunk, sometimes can't be taken seriously.

The next morning, Lin Xiangdong had almost forgotten the matters discussed over Alcohol the night before.

As a result, Tang Yao came over, bringing several wives, and dragged Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun to an unremarkable small Yuan Zi in Chinatown.

Upon entering, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun smelled a strong fragrance of books.

Of course, it was mostly an illusion.

There was the scent of ink from books, but more so the aura of the Yuan Zi's owner's temperament.

The Family Head is an old man, about the same age as Lin Xiangdong and Tang Yao, named Ji Shiren.

Ji Shiren's wife passed away a few years ago.

The couple has a daughter in her forties who runs a Chinese school in Mi Guo, teaching Americans Mandarin.

The daughter's name is Ji Xun; she married late, and only in her thirties gave birth to a daughter named Ji Youwei.

The reason the daughter shares her mother's surname is that they recruited a son‑in‑law who moves in.

The son‑in‑law is a man surnamed Wang, a PhD who studies Chinese.

After returning to the country, he got involved with another woman, divorced Ji Xun, and has lost contact for several years.

These details, of course, were told by Tang Yao to Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun on the road.

In other words, the one proposing a child marriage to Lin Shi Yi is Ji Youwei, a six‑year‑old girl.

She is five years older than Lin Shi Yi!

Age isn't the issue, but this kind of family doesn't satisfy Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun.

Tang Yao saw their dissatisfaction, smiled and said, "I won't say much more; once you meet them, brother and sister‑in‑law, you'll understand.

However, today's visit is just to meet people, to make a friend; we won't bring up marriage yet."

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun nodded.

At the Ji household, after some introductions, Ji Shiren was very pleased and enthusiastic.

Since daughter Ji Xun was out working and hadn't returned, granddaughter Ji Youwei was at home.

When Ji Youwei came out, she had the demeanor of a refined lady.

More importantly, despite her young age, she was remarkably mature, already well‑versed in poetry and literature.

When dealing with guests like Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, whose aura is both unfamiliar and strong, she treated them with neither servility nor arrogance, with courtesy and propriety.

Ji Shiren, seeing Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun's curiosity about his granddaughter, laughed, "Don't be fooled by Youwei's young age; her memory is excellent—she started studying literature at three.

At four she had memorized three hundred Tang poems and could write beautiful calligraphy…"

After praising his granddaughter, he gave a wry smile, "She's not very talkative and likes to make her own decisions about everything; her mother and I can't control her now."

Facing her grandfather's compliments, Ji Youwei merely smiled.

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun exchanged a glance, thinking this was another oddball!

They also didn't know whether Lin Shi Yi liked such a girl.

……

"Brother, sister‑in‑law, what do you think of Youwei?"

After leaving the Ji household, Tang Yao asked with a smile.

Liang Shiyun laughed and said, "I think she's quite good!"

Lin Xiangdong chuckled and said, "I think she's fine too; I've watched her since she was a child, this girl has good bone structure, and when she grows up her frame won't be large, her figure will be slender, and with her temperament she'll become a beautiful girl, only…".

At that point Lin Xiangdong shook his head and said, "This family has an inherent pride; they won't agree to a child marriage like this."

Tang Yao laughed and shook his head, "That's not certain!"

"Oh?"

Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun looked at Tang Yao.

Tang Yao laughed, "See! Someone will come knocking on their own; they're all smart people who know why we're going today."

Those words sparked strong curiosity in Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun.

This trip, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun hadn't really taken it to heart.

Nowadays, a scholarly family like the Ji Family is no longer in high demand.

Even if the household's scholarly atmosphere is strong, does the scent of wealth smell pleasant?

They had originally planned to stay two days at Tang Yao's place and leave, but after his remark the old couple decided to stay a few more days to see how things go.

The next day, Tang Yao took Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun, the couple, to play golf.

Another day passed, and Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun forgot about the Ji Family matter.

That night, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun prepared to take their leave.

Their next stop was the Boshé Lì Vineyard in Deguo.

That is Lin Feng's property.

They'll stay there a few days; where to go next will be discussed later.

Unexpectedly, the next day, a guest from the Ji Family came to their door.

The guest surprised Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun.

Because it wasn't someone else, but six‑year‑old Ji Youwei.

After seeing the two, Ji Youwei bowed and said softly, "Grandpa, Grandma, I know why you came to my house that day."

"Oh? Tell me."

Lin Xiangdong smiled and said.

Ji Youwei said, "You want to find a wife for your grandson, and you came to see me."

"How did you know?"

Liang Shiyun asked with a puzzled expression.

Ji Youwei said, "I guessed; you both look like a wealthy family, you kept eyeing me, and mentioned your grandson, a child named Lin Shi Yi…"

After Ji Youwei finished speaking, Lin Xiangdong and Liang Shiyun exchanged a glance.

Tang Yao, sitting nearby, quickly said, "I didn't say that."

In other words, the matter was entirely deduced by Ji Youwei through her own observation.

"Then you came today because of this matter?"

Liang Shiyun asked.

Ji Youwei nodded and said, "Yes, I think, with my qualifications, I should be suitable for your grandson."

Lin Xiangdong shook his head and said, "That's not certain; Lin Shi Yi is not the naive child you imagine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Youwei became a bit uneasy.

After all, she's only a six‑year‑old child.

The couple saw her demeanor and silently nodded in their hearts.

Lin Shi Yi wouldn't be like that; a girl like Lin Shi Yi can still be subdued.

Then Liang Shiyun said, "You came alone; didn't your grandfather know?"

Ji Youwei replied, "I can make my own decisions."

Lin Xiangdong said, "You're so young to decide to marry yourself away; you must have some purpose, right?"

Ji Youwei said, "Yes, I want to help my father. Although my dad divorced my mother, he is still very good to me. Blood is thicker than water; I don't want to be a child without a father."

"Fine!"

Lin Xiangdong nodded and said, "If you can convince your grandfather and mother, then I agree to this."

Ji Youwei left.

Lin Xiangdong sighed, "Kids these days! They're all little monsters."
