Chapter 94: Pressing down the gourd makes the ladle float up

  "Son, what should we do now?"

  Yuan Fangfei was anxious, "Your sister is very sad now. Why don't you go find that shameless woman and teach her a lesson to vent your sister's anger and make her feel better? After all, she really loves Qian Yunfeng deeply, the deeper the love, the more painful it is."

  "After you've taken care of that woman, who knows, Qian Yunfeng might just change his mind?"

  "Mom, I'll take care of this."

  He nodded slightly, put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff. There was something strange about this whole thing, mainly because the timing was too coincidental. First, someone set up a Feng Shui Bureau to deal with the Xu family, and then his brother-in-law Qian Yunfeng had an affair outside. Is there such a coincidence in the world?

  A sudden ringtone of the mobile phone rang out, Xu Yi picked up the mobile phone and took a look, immediately answered the call, "Wen Wen, something happened at home, I may be late for a few days, you go to Qi Xi first."

  "Xu Yi, what's going on? Do you need my help?"

  "Don't worry, I can handle it quickly over here. You don't need to worry about it. By the way, hurry up and prepare the funds when you get back, as we'll be starting construction soon after I return."

  "Alright, it's settled then, goodbye."

  Xu hung up the phone and only then discovered that his mother, sitting beside him, had her ears perked up and was staring at his face. He couldn't help but be taken aback, "Mom, what are you doing?"

  "Son, confess honestly, have you got a girlfriend? I clearly heard a girl's voice and it sounds nice." Yuan Fangfei smiled slyly, "Is the girl Mei Shufen, the one whose father is the county magistrate?"

  "Mom, it's not Shufen, she is one of my business partners."

  "It doesn't matter, it's okay if he isn't, my son is so handsome and excellent, it's normal for many girls to like him. When will you bring them home for mom to see?"

  Yuan Fangfei coughed, "No, no, girls love vinegar the most, can't let them know each other's existence, even more can't let them meet. And you buying gifts for them, must buy the same ones, this way, even if they coincidentally find out about each other, won't say you're unfair to them..."

  Xu Yi was stunned, his mother was really too powerful. When his sister's husband had an affair, she hated him to death, but when he himself had several girlfriends, his mother even helped teach him how to get along with them.

  Another ringtone sounded on the mobile phone, and Xu Yi quickly picked up the phone and took a look, "Mom, it's my cousin's call."

  "Then answer the phone, what are you looking at me for?" Yuan Fangfei glared at Xu Yi and picked up the TV remote control to adjust the volume. Xu Yi's only cousin was his uncle's daughter, Yuan Fangfei.

  "Brother, I'm Tingting, where are you?"

  As soon as I picked up the phone, a cheerful voice came from the receiver, "I'll go pick you up right away and take you to a fun place."

  "I was driven back home by my grandfather, and I just had dinner at home." Xǔ smiled, it so happened that he also had to go out tonight to gather some information. Since someone wanted to deal with the Xǔ family, there must be people in the circle who could hear some rumors.

  "Brother, I'll be at your place in 15 minutes."

  "I'm waiting for you."

  Xu hung up the phone, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, then stood up, "Mom, I'm going out for a bit, might be late coming back tonight."

  "Son, go, and remember your sister's things,"

  Yuan Fangfei nodded, her head leaning on the sofa, pinching her eyebrows, it was not easy for her son to finally come down from the mountain, and the whole family could live together in harmony. Unexpectedly, her daughter's emotions had problems again.

  This is really "pressing down the gourd and floating up the ladle".

  "Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of sister's matter."

  Xu Yi lightly comforted his mother for a few words, quickly picked up the key and stood up to leave. He didn't have much time, there were still many things waiting for him to do.

  The car was still the white Santana that Xu Yi had borrowed from Xu Zhiyuan. Xu Yi started the engine, and the Santana slowly drove out of the residential area. Just as it turned a corner, a blue Beetle came speeding towards them.

  A beetle made a sharp turn and stopped beside Xu Yi, the car door opened, Li Ruoxi walked over with a smile, pulled open the Santana's car door and got in.

  Xu Yi was taken aback, looking at Li Ruoxi's beaming face, and before he could speak, he heard Yuan Yuting calling out from the car over there, "Brother, I'm leaving first, you have to catch up!"

  As soon as her voice fell, the tortoise let out a low growl and sped away in a cloud of smoke.

  "Xu Yi, brother, you drive."

  Li Ruoxi smiled and said, "Tonight, a few friends are celebrating my birthday. My mom heard that you're back, so she asked me to pick you up and have some fun together, and introduce you to a few friends."

  "Ah, why didn't you say so earlier? I drove this broken-down car here, won't they laugh at me?" Xǔ's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, and he quickly started the engine. The Santana sped away in a cloud of smoke.

  "It won't last, they are now enjoying only the glory of their ancestors."

  Li Ruoxi looked at Xu Yi's face gently, with a flash of brightness in her eyes. "Xu Yi Gege, you are the smartest and most capable person among these friends. I believe that in the future, they will all be proud to know you."

  Her expression was serious and solemn, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes that made one doubt nothing she said.

  Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry, how could this girl be so confident in herself? This wasn't a good thing, would Auntie Li Yu think that he had designs on her daughter later on?

  Although Li Yu was grateful to her for saving his life, he would never watch idly as she pursued his daughter, Li Ruoxi, who was the only girl in the large Li family and the apple of their eyes.

  I'm just a scholar, although my family background is not bad and can barely match the Li family. However, I've been studying Taoism for 20 years without any academic qualifications, diplomas or certificates, which are essential stepping stones for young masters from noble families to enter officialdom.

  If it weren't for these things, no family would dare to send such a child into the officialdom, and even if they entered the officialdom, they basically wouldn't have much of a future, and might not even be able to get promoted to a leadership position by the time they retired. After all, government institutions aren't some private family's one mu three fen land.

  It's not that one person or one family can have the final say, it's about making concessions and compromises with each other. A person like this who hasn't even been to school for a day, no matter how powerful their background is, will never be able to rise to a high position.

  Li Ruoxi is the only daughter of the Li family, and the man she will marry will naturally not be an ordinary person. Without mentioning his illustrious family background, he must also be someone who is highly regarded in his official career.

  Xu Yi was very self-aware, but he didn't have either of these two qualities.

  Of course, Xu Yi didn't have much interest in Li Ruoxi either. After seeing Jing Yunwen's grandeur and magnificence, he couldn't muster up much enthusiasm for the young and inexperienced girl.

  However, Li Yu did not know this, and once she was misunderstood, the trouble caused would not be small.

  Of course, Li Yu still didn't suspect anything at this stage, otherwise she wouldn't have let her daughter invite her to the birthday party of her own daughter.

  Is this a kind of inviting wolves into one's home?

  Li Ruoxi leaned to one side, her eyes fixed on Xu Yi's face. After a moment, she felt that this posture was not suitable and quickly adjusted her sitting position. The corner of her eye still paid attention to Xu Yi's every move.

  This guy is so handsome even when he's keeping silent, with a kind of domineering aura that makes him seem like the only one in the world.

  "Ruò Xī, you're overestimating me."

  Xu's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, "I'm afraid in the eyes of your friends, I, Xu Yi, am just an incompetent Taoist."

  "Xu Yi gege, don't be too humble, in my heart you are the best."

  Li Ruoxi said seriously, "Moreover, one of my friends also thinks so."

  "Oh, who is it? Do I know you?"

  "You must have recognized him, and you even won a lot of money in his bar." Li Ruoxi smiled sweetly, "Although I don't approve of your gambling, but being able to take the opportunity to teach that guy Laorongxuan a lesson is still a delightful thing."

  "Haoran, you're talking about Haoran, right?"

  Xu Yi immediately understood, Li Ruoxi was talking about Hao Xun, but he didn't expect that Hao Xun would actually be a friend of Li Ruoxi's and had also squeezed into Li Ruoxi's circle. Although Hao Xun's father was the director of the Public Security Bureau in Beijing, he was only at the deputy ministerial level after all, which made him somewhat distant from Li Ruoxi's circle.

  "That's right, it's him. Tonight's birthday party is being held at his bar, and the friends who were invited were all chosen by my mom."

  Li Ruoxi pouted and smiled, she still had one more sentence to say, this was one of the rare times she agreed with her mom's opinion, because this time her mom had invited Xu Yi.

  As they chatted, Xu Yi drove the Santana to the Heaven Park Bar. The parking lot was already filled with many high-end sports cars, and Mercedes-Benz and BMW were already very common.

  At this time, a group of young and handsome men in suits were already standing at the entrance of the bar, looking up one by one, waiting for the arrival of the birthday party owner tonight.

  At this moment, Xu Yi drove the Santana into the parking lot of the bar under everyone's attention, but no one paid attention to this very ordinary Santana car. In their eyes, such a broken car was not even worth looking at.

  It was the owner of the bar, Hao Xun, who impatiently waved his hand at Santana and then pointed to the sign that said "closed for a day", indicating that Santana's owner should leave immediately.

  However, unexpectedly, the two broken Santana cars slowed down and came to a stop, drawing everyone's attention. Just as they couldn't see Princess Li Ruoxi appear, and were getting impatient, a country bumpkin appeared to ease the tension.

  As Santana's car door slowly opened, Hao Xun furrowed his brow. Who was this guy? So ignorant of the rules, didn't he see the big four words "Closed for a day"?
