Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Son-in-law Who Comes to the Door

Li Mingrui looked at Li Feng and stated the only condition for marrying into the Wang Family. As Li Feng’s gaze met his father’s, the atmosphere in the study instantly turned tense.

"You want me to marry into her family, to become the son-in-law who moves in with them."

"Yes, that is the only condition."

Li Feng let out a cold laugh, looking back at the father he hadn’t seen in ten years, "No wonder you want me to come back for this marriage. The Li Family’s pride is important, but Li Feng’s pride can be discarded, is that it?"

Li Mingrui’s face remained impassive as he watched Li Feng, "This is the best choice I can make for you."

"The best choice."

Li Feng’s lips curled into a sardonic smile as he stood up and walked towards the door. Li Mingrui frowned, "Li Feng, marriage between families is not a matter to be taken lightly. I’ve already agreed on your behalf."

Li Feng stopped in his tracks and turned around coldly, "Li Feng doesn’t need anyone to make decisions for him, including you, father."

Li Feng raised his hand and pushed open the door; Li Zidong, who had been eavesdropping around the corner, was not prepared and stumbled on impact.

Li Feng glanced at Li Zidong, who seemed to be taking delight in his misfortune, and strode away.

"Li Feng, since you’re back, why don’t you stay for dinner?"

Li Feng glanced at the beautiful woman who walked in from outside, didn’t stop, and brushed past her. The woman watched Li Feng leave in the distance, her face full of contemptuous smirk, "What a joke, he really thinks he’s the Li Family’s eldest son."

"Mom."

"Zidong, did you hurt yourself?"

"Mom, I just heard dad talking to Li Feng about the marriage alliance with Wang Family." Li Zidong barely contained his glee.

"My foolish son, are you stupid? Happy that Li Feng is forming an alliance with the Wang Family? Your mother is almost sick with worry; that’s the Wang Family’s daughter."

"Mom, listen to me. Dad just said that the condition for the marriage alliance with the Wang Family is for Li Feng to marry into and move into the Wang Family’s home."

"What? Marry into the Wang Family’s home?" The woman’s eyes sparkled upon hearing this. "Did your father really say that?"

"I heard it with my own ears, it couldn’t be false. No wonder my father brought Li Feng back."

The woman also realized, "So that’s how it is."

The old man is always so tight-lipped; he didn’t let out a peep before, leaving her irritated for days. Now she suddenly felt a sense of clarity: if that bastard Li Feng marries into the Wang Family, then the entire Li Family inheritance will belong to her son.

Although it’s regrettable not being able to marry the Wang Family’s daughter, considering the Li Family’s status and position, once the old man takes the title, whether it’s the Wang, Lu, or Xiao Family’s daughters, they’ll surely find a suitable match.

Li Feng left the yard and coldly looked back at the mansion, surprised that he had any expectations for this family at all. He had indeed thought too much.

To become the son-in-law of the Wang Family.

Ha.

Li Feng clenched his fists and turned away with coldness.

"What, your family has arranged a marriage for you? When did this happen, and how come there wasn’t any hint of it before?"

Shen Yanran hurried to the bar street in Right Sea and entered a bar, finding Wang Jin’er at the bar.

"Stop drinking for now, and tell me everything."

Wang Jin’er pouted, "I came to Jin City not only to celebrate the Li Family grandmother’s birthday but also for another reason, to meet a man from the Li Family. My mother said that the two families have already agreed on it, but I don’t have to marry into the Li Family."

"What do you mean, you don’t have to marry into the Li Family?"

"The other side will marry into my family, becoming the son-in-law who moves in with the Wang Family."

Shen Yanran was shocked by what Wang Jin’er said, her eyes widening, "What kind of joke is this, the Li Family will marry into another family? Li Zidong would do that? Has his head been kicked by a donkey or caught in a door?"

Shen Yanran’s first thought was that the Li Family was also a prominent household in Jin City, and this generation’s Li Mingrui was even at the core of the Li Family.

The Wang Family, aligning with the Li Family through marriage, had taken a secondary position. How would the Li Family allow their own son to marry into the Wang Family under such conditions?

"It’s not Li Zidong."

"Not Li Zidong? Isn’t Li Mingrui only with that one son? Does he mean to pick another nephew from a different branch to marry into the family? What’s the point of doing that?"

"My mom said that Uncle Li actually has a private child that’s never been around."

"A private child?"

Shen Yanran came to a realization, "Isn’t this unfair to you then? Even if he is Uncle Li’s private child, the status is too awkward, and besides, we know nothing about this person’s character. What are your parents thinking? They are practically pushing you into a pit of fire."

"My mom said that since it’s a reverse marriage, everything will be up to me. If I’m not willing, we simply maintain the name of husband and wife, and I certainly won’t be wronged."

"I see."

Shen Yanran clicked her tongue, uncertain whether the situation was good or bad. Still, she knew that a marriage alliance between two families was inevitable. The children of such prominent families might be pampered in everyday life, but when it came to family interests, sacrifices had to be made.

"Let’s drink, and get thoroughly drunk tonight." Shen Yanran turned her head and called the bartender to bring more drinks.

"Two beauties, this one’s on me. May I join you for a bit?"

Shen Yanran turned to look at the man approaching with a glass in hand, flicking his bangs in what he thought was a suave manner, and spat out the word "scram."

The playboy paused as his face couldn’t quite handle the rebuff, "Beauty, are you rejecting me?"

Shen Yanran, already in a bad mood, glared at the annoying playboy, "Do I need to repeat myself? I said take a hike."

"Scram!"

"Heh, beauty, quite the personality—I like that."

With a sudden smile, the playboy reached out to lift Shen Yanran’s chin, but she immediately locked his wrist in a defense hold, and with a swift kick to his behind sent the playboy tumbling forward in a heap.

"Damn you, bitch, you dare to touch me? You have no idea who I am."

The playboy shouted, and suddenly, a group of about a dozen people stood up from a nearby booth.

Wang Jin’er, seeing the crowd moving in, grabbed Shen Yanran, "Yanran, let’s go."

"Go? Where do you think you’re going? Stop them for me."

The playboy’s eyes glinted coldly as he looked at Shen Yanran who had dared to lay hands on him, and as he spoke, the path for Wang Jin’er and her was blocked.

Shen Yanran was about to make a move but was immediately grabbed by the arm by a burly man in front of her.

"Yanran."

Inside the bar, more people gathered closer, eager to watch the unfolding drama.

"Bitch, dare to kick me."

Slap.

The playboy slapped Shen Yanran across the face.

"You dare hit me!"

The playboy gave a cold smile, his hand pinching Shen Yanran’s chin, "I’ll not just hit you, but heh heh, you think you’re so fierce?"

With a lewd laugh, he reached for Shen Yanran’s collar.

"You wouldn’t dare!" Shen Yanran’s eyes widened with fury.

Rip.
