“You just take a bite, I guarantee nothing bad will happen, look at how crispy yet tender this fried bun is, eating this first thing in the morning will definitely make your day,” Li Shishi said, shaking Song Yun’s arm.

“I feel like eating this will have me in the hospital all day long, but since you all insist, I’ll give it a try,” Song Yun said with a resigned bravado and bit into the bun, only to be greeted by a bitter taste that lingered in his mouth like maggots gnawing at his sense of taste.

Song Yun quickly grabbed a bowl of egg soup nearby and took a big gulp; these girls were really something, the egg soup not only had eggs but also eggshells, and Song Yun almost choked on one.

Holding on to the belief that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, Song Yun said, “I’ll go out and buy some breakfast for you guys.

I’m fine after eating this, but if you eat it, you’ll get a stomach ache.”

Song Yun fled to buy breakfast as if escaping disaster, and Qingluan, not believing her first attempt at cooking could taste so bad, took Song Yun’s chopsticks and tried a piece of the bun…

After eating it, her actions almost matched Song Yun’s; she quickly drank a gulp of the egg soup and then fought back the urge to vomit.

Li Shishi asked curiously, “How did our cooking turn out, huh?”

Qingluan squeezed out a smile and said, “It’s great, we made it delicious; it’s just that Song Yun is too picky.”

Li Shishi nodded confidently, supporting Qingluan’s words.

Being as smart as she was, how could the food she cooked not be delicious?

It was all Song Yun’s fault.

So, Miss Li Shishi also tried the so-called sumptuous breakfast, and subsequently, the two of them dashed to the bathroom together, while Xiao Qing stayed well away from the buns and egg soup.

After having a normal breakfast, Song Yun planned to visit the Li Family Mansion to discuss with Mr.

Li if he could connect with Wang Dong.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Li Family Mansion, Song Yun saw Mr.

Li playing chess with an unknown old man, and their game was so intense that even a chess noob like Song Yun couldn’t help but cheer.

Mr.

Li was startled when he saw Song Yun, then smiled and said, “So you remember to come back and see this old man, I thought you had forgotten about me.”

“Where would I dare forget about you, I just had some free time today to check on your health,” Song Yun said with a smile.

“No worries, this old man won’t die in a day or two.

After I finish this game, we’ll go home.” Mr.

Li slammed a chess piece on the board and declared, “Checkmate.”

The old man thought for a moment, haphazardly pushed the board a couple of times and vaguely said, “Seeing you have a guest today, I won’t waste your time.

Let’s battle it out tomorrow.”

Mr.

Li laughed when he heard this and teased, “You old trickster, we agreed on betting a bottle of old Moutai.

Don’t go back on your word, have your grandson bring the wine over tonight.”

“Drink, drink, drink, one day you’ll drink yourself to death,” the old man said annoyed.

Back inside after his victorious chess game, Mr.

Li stared at Song Yun and asked, “What big issue have you come here with that needs my handling?”

“I’m living my days peacefully, no big issues,” Song Yun chuckled dryly.

“Oh?

Is that so?

Good, good, keeping a peaceful life isn’t bad.

I heard you helped Xiao Ran with her illness?

She’s a good girl,” Mr.

Li’s rambling left Song Yun befuddled, only able to nod along.

“Ah, look at you,” Mr.

Li suddenly sighed and, pointing at Song Yun, criticized his passive demeanor, “Old Liu is planning to send Xiao Ran over to Sunan, asking you to keep an eye on her so nothing goes wrong.”

“…” Song Yun felt a headache coming, just had Qingluan move in, and now another woman?

“Can we…

say no?”

“No?

How do you expect me to refuse him?

You better handle it, and take care of yourself,” Mr.

Li said as he took a sip of tea and continued, “The second in the Dragon List, Qingluan, has she moved into the courtyard house?”

“You know everything, don’t you!”

“Nonsense!

Do you really think the Dragon List is child’s play?

After such a big incident, who doesn’t know about you?

And don’t forget, those leaders are watching from above.

You’ve made a lasting impression on them this time,” Mr.

Li glared at Song Yun and added, “You rascal are quite popular with the ladies, but don’t get too pleased with yourself.

Remember, women always bring trouble.

Now that you’ve accepted her, you’ve got to take on the troubles too.”

“Grandpa…

you’re not really speaking highly about them,” Song Yun sighed, “I’m already too busy, I don’t have time to deal with this.”

“Just remember your roots, and that may be why your master left you with me, to keep an eye on you.

As someone who’s been through it all, let me nag you a bit more, if you find me annoying then don’t listen.”

“How could I?

Your wisdom is priceless, I’d love to come every day and hear you out, it’ll help me avoid detours,” Song Yun said sheepishly.

“That’s great.

Recently, how’s your relationship with Shishi…

Don’t you know this old man is worried about you young folks?

You’re engaged, living together, and yet there’s no sign of progress,” Mr.

Li muttered under his breath, “I’m still waiting to become a great-grandfather.”

Hearing this, Song Yun almost spit out his tea, shocked, as he had not been up to anything that could make him a great-grandfather.

“Oh, by the way, Shishi’s sister is coming back in a few days.

You and Shishi come over for dinner and give that naughty girl a bit of discipline.

She should be focusing on her studies instead of wanting to come back home,” Mr.

Li said as he brought up Song Yun’s yet-to-meet sister-in-law, his irritation evident.

“Isn’t Shishi’s sister also my aunt-in-law?” Song Yun mused internally, with Li Shishi being so attractive, her sister must not be too bad…

Ah, what am I thinking about, my mind’s getting dirtier by the day.”

Seeing Song Yun’s troubled expression, Mr.

Li thought Song Yun might have something difficult to say, but if he knew what was on Song Yun’s mind, he would certainly strangle the scoundrel.

“Man up, speak up if you have something to say; what’s with the hesitancy?” Mr.

Li scolded.

“Grandpa, I’ve been thinking about expanding my own influence, so I need to make some connections with the police department.

Do you think you could help me get in touch with Wang Dong’s side?”

“That’s a good initiative!

As long as it’s nothing illegal, I fully support it,” Mr.

Li said joyfully, “I’ll call Wang Dong a bit later, and then you can have dinner together.

It’s easier to discuss matters over a meal.”

“Sure thing, Grandpa.”
