I'm by no means a softie

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Li Qiyuan declined Zhao Haiqi's sincere invitation to dinner on the pretext of catching a train. At this point, the father and son left the Zhao family and returned to the AllBright Apartment.

At Lao Li's strong request, Li Peifeng also called Xu, Huang and Wu over for dinner.

The three girls also agreed and were sure to arrive on time.

Li Qiyuan obviously wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with his son's three girlfriends, with the intention of persuading them to abandon their love mentality, give up on Li Peifeng, and part ways from now on, and no longer entangle and torture each other.

Lao Li didn't expect all three of them to listen, but he could persuade one of them to do so.

And Mr. Li also knew his father's thoughts very well, so he had strong opinions.

While the father and son were shopping for groceries, he had been trying his best to persuade Li Qiyuan to give up this idea.

But Lao Li may have considered the negative impact of two people discussing these "family scandals" in public, so he kept silent and did not respond.

After arriving home, while the father and son were busy in the kitchen making dinner, Li Peifeng was still chattering away while chopping vegetables.

And because there were only two people at home, he was not afraid of being heard by outsiders, so his voice became louder.

"Dad, do you know what this is called? What you are doing is called beating mandarin ducks. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin one marriage. Why? Because love is far more precious than anything else in the world. As a result, you are acting like this.

Dad is going to break up three marriages for me at once, how much evil do you have to do? How can you bear to ruin my happiness?"

"I can't bear it, because it's you who did the evil. It was you who ruined the happy marriage of three girls. Just shut up. I can save one of them if I can."

"I...then are you going to Man Ning's house tomorrow?"

"If I tell her clearly and let her break up with you, what else am I going to do?"

"What if I can't explain clearly? What if they insist on staying with me no matter how you try to persuade me?"

Li Qiyuan sneered: "I think you are ignorant. Your father and I have only married one wife in my life, but you still dare to marry four...Marry four! Do you know what the concept is?"

"What concept?"

Li Peifeng suddenly realized after asking: "I know, you are jealous, right? You must be jealous... I always thought you were broad-minded, as boundless as the sea... But you are actually jealous of your own son? I can understand others being jealous.

, why are you jealous of this? Your four daughters-in-law honor you and my mother, and you are still not satisfied?"

"fart!"

Li Qiyuan said angrily: "Let me ask you, do you know what the concept of four wives is? That will shorten your life! And once a man reaches middle age, his health deteriorates. I am no match for your mother now..."

The last half of the sentence was spoken in a very small voice!

If it weren't for Li Peifeng's ears, he really couldn't hear, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but laugh: "This is definitely not a problem. I know my own body, and they also know that they are not the opponents... Hey, Dad,

I'll ask Tianxuan to give you some medicine when she comes later? She has a way."

"Go away and keep it for yourself!"

While the father and son were bickering, the door opened and Wu Wenyue, whose workplace was closest to home, came back. She took off her coat, put on her slippers and immediately walked into the kitchen to help cook.

"Uncle, just rest and let me come."

Wu Wenyue quickly rolled up her sleeves, decisively took the vegetables from Li Qiyuan's hand and started washing them.

What a nice girl!

Li Qiyuan knew Wu Wenyue well. He was virtuous, hard-working, and had a business acumen. He also made a lot of money. His health, IQ, and height matched Li Peifeng very well. The child born between the two would definitely be both civil and military!

Originally, the couple's favorite candidate for their daughter-in-law was Wu Wenyue, but they didn't expect that Li Peifeng would be the first to marry Zhao Qingge. This meant that his son's favorite was still his mentor. In addition, when the parents met to catch up, Li Qiyuan could only decide.

Zhao Qingge was the final choice for daughter-in-law.

Sorry, Wenyue!

Li Qiyuan took a deep breath, stood next to her and said solemnly: "I just came back from Qingge's house, and we talked a lot..."

Lao Li told the content of the meeting between the two parents in detail, as if he was talking to himself and reviewing his memories, but in fact he was talking to Wu Wenyue.

The focus is on the wedding date of the two, as well as Li’s words, “Only one wedding, just with you!”

Wu Wenyue's face remained calm when she heard the previous words, but when she heard the last sentence, her movements froze. She looked at Li Peifeng and frowned slightly: "It's not like you can express such deep feelings."

Li Peifeng translated: "Only one event, only with you means, only one event with her."

"Well, this is what you're talking about..."

Wu Wenyue quickly took back the curse word and smiled awkwardly at Li Qiyuan: "Thank you, uncle, I know everything. Then let's leave it at that. I have no objection."

"?!"

"But next time if my dad asks you to ask for a date, don't turn it down."

Wu Wenyue's expression was a little resentful, and her tone was a little accusatory: "Since I brought Xiaofeng home to meet my parents, you two have cut off all contact with them, making me and the others think that Xiaofeng doesn't want to get along with me.

He kept asking me to order Xiaofeng to arrange a meeting with the parents... If you are not satisfied with me or have any objections to them, you can tell them directly, there is no need to hide."

Li Peifeng heard Wu Wenyue's grievance, and quickly put down the kitchen knife and hugged him to comfort him: "Brother Yue, don't worry, my dad will meet them right away when he gets back...right? Dad?"

To your ancestors, right?! You might as well treat them as your own father and meet them!

Li Qiyuan's face suddenly looked very good-looking, but under Wu Wenyue's expectant eyes, he couldn't say no.

Thinking about it carefully, I and Huizhi did something unreasonable in this matter. They have been friends for many years. When their children fell in love, they should have gotten closer and closer, but instead they broke off... But it wasn't Li Peifeng, the evil boy, who caused the harm.

of?

"Dad! Just go."

Li Peifeng earnestly advised: "Wenyue has to graduate at the earliest before she can marry me and hold a wedding banquet. It will be a year after she graduates. This is all delayed. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of retribution!"

Li Qiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, replied stiffly, and forced a smile to Wu Wenyue: "Don't worry, I will invite them to have a meal together when I get back... But the key is Wenyue, what if your parents find out what you are doing?

What to do? Won’t our two families become enemies?”

"No, no one will know unless we tell you."

Li Peifeng interrupted: "And even if you find me, I will go and apologize and I will solve the problem myself. You don't have to worry."

How could Li Qiyuan not worry? But seeing that the two parties involved were determined to insist, he couldn't say anything else.

As a teacher, Li Qiyuan has taught many students. He deeply understands that no words in the world can instantly enlighten people.

As an associate professor whose main research field is Ma Zhe, Li Qiyuan knows that people should prove the truth of their thinking in practice. In other words, people who have not been here will not be able to listen to the words of those who have experienced it. You can never teach others if you teach them.

, teach people by doing, just do it once...

Wu Wenyue cannot be persuaded to give up!

"Dad, please stop being busy and go back to the living room to rest."

"Yes, uncle, you finally came here, how can you do your work?"

After the two men's persuasion, Li Qiyuan silently turned around and went to the living room to sit quietly.

Around 5:30, Xu Maning and Huang Tianxuan also entered the house one after another. Both of them came empty-handed. The former bought some drinks for the dinner, while the latter thought more long-term and bought some bird's nests, shark's fins and other things that pregnant women need.

She bought expensive nutritional supplements and bought some gold locks, bracelets and other accessories or toys for the baby in Yu Huizhi’s arms.

"Uncle, remember to bring these things to Auntie when you go back...Hey, take them. They are not bought for you, but for the children!"

"This...Tianxuan, you took the trouble."

Huang Tianxuan was so sincere that she really couldn't refuse. Li Qiyuan repeatedly pushed to no avail, so he could only accept with some embarrassment.

Xu Maning rolled her eyes secretly, feeling angry, and dragged Huang Tianxuan away again and said harshly: "You know how to make a presence known, why don't you discuss it with us before buying it?"

Huang Tianxuan smiled and said: "I thought Mr. Xu could understand this kind of human sophistication without me having to say it, but I didn't expect that I overestimated it... Okay, I will definitely remind you next time."

Xu Maning was angrily annoyed that she was a little stupid for not reacting, but she refused to admit it: "I was too busy with work and forgot...Next time something like this happens again, you can just buy a copy for me and Wenyue."

Huang Tianxuan was speechless: "If you can't live anymore, please open the window and jump off the building, and I will help you live!"

Xu Maning gave orders: "Say it again? Do you still know whose house this is? Every time you come to my house, you come empty-handed. I didn't pick you. What's wrong with asking you and me to buy something for you?"

Huang Tianxuan was not polite: "You feel unhappy when I send Peifeng Da G and Wenyue Ferrari? So you are labeled as a rich man, right? Just put your money aside! If you can't be polite to me, you can call me Sister Xuanxuan from now on."

…Then I’ll consider being nice to you.”

"Dream on you."

Xu Maning refused to give in and muttered: "I'll call you Huang Danai, Huang Danai, Danai Da Nai..."

"What are you two doing?"

Li Peifeng brought the dishes to the table and glanced at them: "Take a bowl and eat, don't be stunned."

"Uncle, dinner is ready."

Wu Wenyue also came out of the kitchen to greet them. Huang Tianxuan and Xu Manying rolled their eyes at each other and walked towards the restaurant.

Everyone sat down and the dinner officially began, and the topic naturally couldn't get around Yu Huizhi, who was not present because she was pregnant.

While talking, Wu Wenyue also made a video call to her, and the five of them connected with Comrade Lao Yu on the spot.

"Aunt!"

"Aunt~"

"Ah, are you eating?"

Yu Huizhi was surprised that the three girls were present and the atmosphere was harmonious. Not only was she a little bit complaining about what Li Qiyuan was doing in the capital this time, was he helping the little bastard open a harem as planned?

But as the girls laughed and talked happily, Yu Huizhi couldn't keep a cold attitude and started chatting with them with a smile.

"By the way, auntie, uncle may have to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because he will take Peifeng to my house tomorrow to meet my parents..."

Xu Manying suddenly brought this matter up, which made Yu Huizhi's smile suddenly stiffen: "Ah? Really? Husband?! You... still want to see me? Are you addicted?"

Li Qiyuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he changed the topic abruptly: "Yes, I went to talk to Qingge's parents today, and we had a good conversation. The wedding date is scheduled to be around June or July this year..."

Then, Lao Li began to talk about the details of the conversation at Zhao Qingge's home. Yu Huizhi also occasionally asked questions. The couple revealed to several girls that "Li Peifeng has identified Zhao Qingge, so we also believe that Zhao Qingge is his son."

Daughter-in-law' means.

"Dad, you can tell my mother these things after you get home."

Li Peifeng noticed the changes in the eyes of several girls, and while picking up food for Li Qiyuan, he said: "I have bought all the gifts for Man Ning's house tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it, but you may have to worry about Wenyue, because I can't

Being present, and since you keep pushing back, Uncle Wu may have some small objections in his heart... I'm thinking about buying some gifts tomorrow, and you can give them to me when the two families meet after you go home."

Li Qiyuan slowly put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass, and drank the beer in one gulp.

Lao Li feels miserable!

"Uncle, it's quite unlucky for him to have a son like you."

As soon as he finished drinking, Huang Tianxuan next to him helped him fill it up, and said with a smile: "I gave birth to a son, but he became the in-law of four families. How much worry does this have to do for no reason... Uncle and aunt, you can go there if you have time.

Traveling to Hangzhou, I will take you to relax and have fun."

You were just taking us to have some fun? Didn't you also want us to meet your parents?!

Even Yu Huizhi in the video heard what Huang Tianxuan meant. She didn't know what to do and could only ask for help: "Husband... you, Wenyue, Tianxuan... and Man Ning... all?"

Li Qiyuan sighed: "I want to be your daughter-in-law. I can't persuade her anymore. You can do it."

Wu Wenyue failed. Xu Manying failed. Huang Tianxuan failed...a big failure!

Li Qiyuan originally wanted to persuade them to separate one by one, but as a result, the three of them obviously had no chance at all regarding this attitude. At this moment, he was extremely discouraged.

Li Peifeng was afraid that Yu Huizhi would be excited, so he took the mobile phone from Wu Wenyue and comforted his mother for a while, then got up and walked to the bedroom, where the mother and son had a private conversation.

After two or three minutes, Li Peifeng returned, returned the phone to Wu Wenyue, and said to Li Qiyuan: 'My mother is a little bit unacceptable...Dad, please go back and persuade her.'

Li Qiyuan did not respond, but drank another glass of beer.

The dinner continued in silence in a strange and delicate atmosphere. Li Peifeng occasionally wanted to toast Li Qiyuan, but the latter did not respond and drank five bottles alone.

Seeing that the meal was halfway through, Li Qiyuan glanced around at everyone and suddenly said: "I don't know why you are willing to be so tolerant and want to be with Fengfeng despite being so wronged... So, can you tell me

Tell me why? Tell me why you love him."

"..."

The scene was silent for two seconds, and Li Peifeng frowned: "Dad, how could they say such a thing in front of you...?"

"Yes, I drank too much."

Li Qiyuan waved his hand and stopped asking, and said: "But no matter what, I hope you don't love him because of superficial factors such as his age, appearance, body, talent and money."

"Love is a difficult problem. No one will truly love another person because of these things... You are all very good, and I believe you are not willing to let him go because of the reasons I just mentioned. But what is the reason? Because?

Will you feel happy and happy when you are with him?"

"It's enough, but it's not enough."

Li Qiyuan didn't say a word, but when he did he spoke with some seriousness: "These emotions are only temporary. They can satisfy you for a day, a month, a year, but they may not satisfy you for a lifetime... And after a person's needs are satisfied,

, the appetite will become bigger and bigger, so there will eventually come a day when the other party cannot satisfy you."

Huang Tianxuan nodded slightly: "Uncle, what do you think true love should come from? I see that you and auntie are usually very affectionate... Do you have any thoughts?"

Li Qiyuan was silent for two seconds, then took another sip of beer before slowly saying: "On the basis that each other is a mature individual, in getting along with each other, we have found confidence, security, belonging, self-recognition, respect and acceptance...

…This is the most sincere and perfect love. Looking for it is actually looking for yourself.”

At this point, Li Qiyuan paused and sighed softly: "If you feel that you feel this from him, then I have no problem with your feelings. If not, I advise you to consider it carefully!"

Xu Maning glanced at Li Peifeng, and discussed with Wu Wenyue thoughtfully in a low voice: "There seems to be a similar truth in a certain book we have read."

Wu Wenyue reminded: "A qualified partner should have three identities; mirror, teacher, and playmate."

"Yeah?"

Huang Tianxuan, who had never read the book, seemed to understand. Li Peifeng explained to her in detail: "Mirror, I can make you see your own weaknesses clearly and make you feel uncomfortable; Teacher, I can help you explore your true self."

time, to inspire and inspire you; as a playmate, I mean that I can be happy, sad, and painful with you, and go through the journey of life with you... If you and your partner can do this to each other

These three points, you are the best and most suitable."

After finishing speaking, Li Peifeng looked at Li Qiyuan and smiled: "Your theoretical explanation is not clear. Wouldn't what I said be more complete? Moreover, I have asked Wenyue and Man Ning to read relevant books, and also asked them to write

Thoughts after viewing... By the way, didn’t you two give me the 50,000-word PPT?”

Xu Manying and Wu Wenyue both looked at Mr. Li with a very dangerous look. I remember that the two girls had a physical conflict because of this incident. Because Xu Manying secretly wrote a PPT, Wu Wenyue grabbed the other person's computer.

The content was deleted, and Miss Xu was so angry that General Wu was scratched all over with claw marks...

Can't mention it!

Li Peifeng also wisely let it go, looked at Huang Tianxuan, and criticized: "You still need to study. I will buy another book for you another day, so that you will not be unable to answer this kind of question again."

That bitch really became my teacher?!

Huang Tianxuan had a playful look in her eyes, snorted slightly and ignored it. Instead, she looked at Li Qiyuan: "Uncle, what did you just say? Do you have no objection to me and Peifeng?"

Li Qiyuan's eyes were filled with surprise, his face was gloomy and he didn't know what to say.

Li Peifeng put the wine glass into his hand and said first: "Of course, come on, you guys also pick up the glass, whether it's a drink or wine, give a toast to my dad...a toast to our dad!!"
