Chapter 819 - 280: Returning Home in Glory, A Bustling Household (Part 3)

Weixi listened to Li Yuan still being considerate and planning for her parents, feeling deeply moved.

Then she thought of those harsh words her parents had just said at home, feeling even more sorry for Li Yuan.

"Hmph, I won’t give them the car keys, brother, I’ll go back with you."

Li Yuan looked a bit surprised,

It’s already the 29th of the lunar month, and you’re going back with me?

He then realized that Weixi seemed to have been crying just now.

Could it be that Weixi had a falling out with her parents? Or is it that her parents already know about his multiple relationships?

Li Yuan directly voiced his doubts.

"Bai, do Auntie and Uncle already know? Are you arguing with them?"

Weixi felt a sense of panic, and as she met Li Yuan’s gaze, tears suddenly burst out.

Thinking about those harsh words from her parents made her feel extremely wronged and disappointed.

Li Yuan instantly understood and had long anticipated such a scene.

Weixi’s family is completely different from Zhong Tingyue’s and Xia Zhijin’s.

Xia Zhijin’s parents passed away early, and although her grandmother and several uncles are still considered family, they are not her birth parents and wouldn’t interfere too much.

After Xia Zhijin expressed her determination not to give up, neither her grandmother nor her uncles and aunts would intervene.

After Li Yuan showcased his abilities with "money paving the way," they, having accepted favors, had no objections.

Zhong Tingyue’s family is even more special; her mother is not the official wife and is used to not particularly caring about these matters.

As for Zhong Tingyue’s father, Li Yuan hasn’t met him yet, but according to his understanding, he can handle it.

Only Weixi, whom he knows the best.

Weixi’s family counts as a typical "scholarly family," with some influence in the educational circles of their hometown, and both of her grandparents are teachers.

Her grandfather was reportedly a principal of a school before, having worked for many years at the county’s education bureau.

Moreover, Weixi herself is an only child, the beloved jewel of her family, garnering immense affection.

In high school, he often saw Weixi’s parents personally pick her up every day...

Given such family atmosphere and background, agreeing easily would be unexpected.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand to warm Weixi’s frostbitten ears; the weather here in the north was indeed terrible.

Undoubtedly, there will be heavy snow in the coming days.

"Bai, Uncle and Aunt having emotions is normal, if they really said harsh words, don’t take them to heart. As parents, they definitely don’t want their precious daughter to suffer even a tiny grievance."

Li Yuan slowly began to comfort Weixi.

"They need time to accept; time will be the witness and test to how I love you. I believe that, with our joint efforts, they’ll eventually let go of their concerns..."

Listening to Li Yuan’s comfort, Weixi tightly embraced Li Yuan, feeling his strong and steady heartbeat, and her tears gradually stopped.

"Honey, thank you. Rest assured, I’ve already told them that in this life, if it’s not you, I won’t marry anyone else."

"Hmph, if they don’t agree, I’ll just, I’ll just run away from home like my mom."

Li Yuan smiled: "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking? Leave this matter to me, I’ll handle it."

"Sure thing, brother!"

Weixi sweetly replied, completely trusting Li Yuan’s ability.

Li Yuan glanced at the time; the 9 am flight from Shancheng Jiangbei Airport had already landed by now, it was 3 pm.

"Bai, are you coming back home with me now, or staying in the city?"

It’s not appropriate to visit Weixi’s home right now; the gifts are in the hometown.

Since her parents are already in a bad mood, going there empty-handed would only add fuel to the fire.

Weixi didn’t hesitate at all, nodding quickly and playfully saying:

"Brother, I’ll go to your house first, I want to stay with you."

After all, she had already met Li Yuan’s parents, and returned together a few days ago, having visited once.

Going now would be legitimate.

Listening to Weixi’s playful tone, Li Yuan smiled and tousled her hair, nodding.

"Alright, we’ll go to my house first, prepare some gifts, and then I’ll take you back and meet Auntie and Uncle."

Weixi took out her car keys and smiled: "Let’s drive this car back!"

Li Yuan shook his head; driving this Mercedes and sending it back would be troublesome.

What if her parents misunderstood, wouldn’t it be awkward?

"Let’s take a taxi!"

"Hmm, I’ll do whatever you say."

Though it’s the 29th of the lunar month, taxis were still available. Li Yuan spent 60 yuan to directly hail one, and together they headed back to the hometown.

...

Next to the S305 Provincial Road,

Stood a luxurious villa covering five to six hundred square meters, drawing attention amidst the chilling wind.

In the villa’s living room, a large group of villagers, young and old, were eating fruits and cracking sunflower seeds, chatting away.

Since Li Heng and Xia Qin returned, every day, various relatives have been visiting.

Clearly illustrating the saying "Poor in the city with no one asking, rich in the mountains with distant relatives."

"Third Uncle, it’s already the 29th of the lunar month, hasn’t Yuan come back yet?"

Speaking was Li Yuan’s older cousin Li Zichao, the eldest son of his uncle.

Li Heng smiled and said: "He only got off the plane at noon, should be in the county by now. But whether he’s coming back today, I don’t know, maybe he’s at his girlfriend’s house."
