Master Song didn't say anything until he saw Song Zhi Lan and Xia Ruofei bickering. He cleared his throat and said, "Zhi Lan, I was the one who asked Ruofei to speak, and what he said was his own opinion. You don't have to overreact."
"Dad!" Song Zhi Lan was a little anxious, "I'm doing this for the family! And it's also for Xiao Rui's own good. Young people don't have any social experience. What's the point of pursuing love? He'll know in the future. It's reasonable to pay attention to matching social status. When two people of different social status are together, they'll realize that they don't fit in after a long time. Maybe they'll regret it for the rest of their lives … "
"It's not that serious!" Master Song smiled and said, "If we're talking about social status, I'm also a cowherd boy. How noble is that? I don't think so! Our old comrades from the war years didn't mention anything about matching social status when they got married. Speaking of which, your mother was really from a respectable family. If we're talking about matching social status, it should be me who's not good enough for her … "
"How is that the same?" Song Zhi Lan couldn't help but mutter.
She was a little confused. She didn't know what was wrong with her father today. She felt that there was something wrong with his words! Didn't he agree with the marriage with the Li family just now? Why did it seem like he was supporting Xiao Rui now?
Song Zhi Lan thought of this and couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei. She had a ridiculous thought in her heart — could it be because of Xia Ruofei?
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Grandpa Song, Auntie Song is really doing this for the Family Song's good. Maybe it's also because of her concern for Xiao Rui. But what I want to say is that if one's power is really strong to a certain extent, it doesn't seem like there's a need to use marriage to maintain the family's development by sacrificing the happiness of the younger generation. "
"Ruofei's words make sense. I agree." Master Song said with a smile.
"Ruofei, I just said that anyone can talk about grand principles, but the reality is not so simple." Song Zhi Lan said with some interest.
She knew very well that if Master Song supported Song Rui, then it would be futile for her to say anything more.
Master Song's prestige in the Family Song was greater than all the children combined. Although Master Song lived in seclusion now, as long as he wanted to, he could make all the decisions in the family.
Of course, if Master Song made it clear that Song Rui should marry into the Li family, then no matter how mischievous Song Rui was, he wouldn't be able to resist.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Master Song, Auntie Song, I believe you can see that I'm here to persuade you. Xiao Rui and Zhuo Yiyi really love each other, and I personally support them. But I can't just talk about grand principles, right, Auntie Song? "
Song Zhi Lan squeezed out a smile and said, "Ruofei, I don't mean to blame you. You're Xiao Rui's good friend, so it's natural for you to support him."
Master Song chuckled and said, "You're right. Principles are principles. Nowadays, many people think that talking about grand principles is pedantic, hypocritical, or even easy to say. In fact, as long as it's right, we have to say it with confidence. This is nothing."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel touched. He could see that Master Song was leaning towards the marriage with Song Rui, and the reason why Master Song's attitude changed was because Master Song saw that he supported Song Rui.
Xia Ruofei said, "You're right, but grand principles alone won't convince people. So … I still want to prove that as long as you have enough power, you don't need to rely on marriage to consolidate your family's power. "
"Oh? How do you prove that? "Master Song asked with interest, then said," And you don't need to prove it! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Let me keep you in suspense! Grandpa Song, you guys eat first, I'm going out to make a phone call … "
"Okay!" Master Song said with a smile.
Song Rui saw this and quickly stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to the bathroom too …"
"Sit down!" Master Song said calmly, "Ruofei is going out to make a phone call. Why are you following him? Don't you know how to respect privacy? "
"Oh!" Song Rui heard this and could only sit down sullenly.
In fact, he also wanted to go out. On one hand, he wanted to ask Xia Ruofei if he had any tricks up his sleeves. On the other hand, he felt a little guilty. He didn't know what was wrong with him today, but he actually said everything that was on his mind. Now that Xia Ruofei had gone out and only his grandpa and aunt were left in the room, he began to feel a little scared. Wouldn't he have to bear the brunt of the storm if he stayed? So, he quickly found an excuse to escape.
But he didn't expect that before he succeeded, Master Song stopped him.
Xia Ruofei walked out of the restaurant and Director Lu immediately came up to him.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Director Lu, I want to find a place to make a phone call."
"No problem, come with me!" Director Lu said.
He quickly took Xia Ruofei to an empty room and said with a smile, "It's very quiet here, and no one will disturb you. You can make the call inside!"
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei said politely.
He went into the room and took out his mobile phone to call Li Yifu. There was a small communication base station on Peach Blossom Island, but the signal was not stable. So, when Li Yifu was on the island, he usually carried a maritime satellite phone with him.
The satellite phone was the only number in the world, and it relied on the satellite as a relay for communication. There were relatively few intermediate links, and the signal was very stable. Moreover, the satellite phone could communicate with ordinary mobile phones and landlines, so it was much more convenient to contact. No matter where he was, as long as there was a need, Xia Ruofei could contact Li Yifu at any time.
Soon, Li Yifu picked up and said respectfully, "Martial Uncle, are you looking for me?"
"Yifu, is everything normal on Peach Blossom Island these days?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"It's calm and peaceful!" Li Yifu said with a smile, "Sect Leader Luo is still in closed-door cultivation. Everyone on the island is doing their own jobs, and no one has come to spy on us. You can rest assured!"
"That's good!" Xia Ruofei said, and then asked, "Yifu, is Li Chenghui your nephew?"
"Yes!" Li Yifu said, "Now, the Jiuzhou Group is mainly in charge of Chenghui and a few of my right-hand men. Martial Uncle, what can I do for you?"
He suddenly felt a little nervous. Could it be that Chenghui had offended Martial Uncle? It shouldn't be, right? Chenghui is quite steady! And I have repeatedly told him that if it's the Taoyuan Company, especially the Taoyuan Company's Boss Xia, he must show enough respect …
Xia Ruofei asked again, "Does Li Chenghui have a daughter called Li Hongyan?"
When Li Yifu heard this, he was even more confused. Why did Martial Granduncle start to inquire about Hong Yan again? Did he like Hongyan? That can't be, right?
However, he didn't dare to neglect and quickly said, "Yes! Chenghui's youngest daughter is called Li Hongyan. Martial Uncle, what can I do for you? "
"Well, you should know the Beijing Family Song, right? Li Chenghui should be interested in a marriage with the Beijing Family Song recently. On your side, it's Li Hongyan, and the Family Song is Master Song's eldest grandson, Song Rui. " Xia Ruofei said directly, "Tell Li Chenghui that this marriage is not suitable. Ask him to take the initiative to explain to the Family Song and cancel it!"
Li Yifu was stunned. He didn't expect that Martial Uncle would suddenly call him about such a trivial matter.
To be honest, it was really a trivial matter in Li Yifu's eyes who Li Hongyan was marrying. He never cared about it. Now, his mind was all on cultivation. However, this matter was personally mentioned by Xia Ruofei, so he naturally had to pay enough attention to it.
However, Li Yifu's heart was also in a mess. He was secretly guessing whether Xia Ruofei had that kind of intention towards Li Hongyan. In fact, if Xia Ruofei really liked Li Hongyan, Li Yifu couldn't be happier! However, the seniority was completely messed up!
Li Hongyan called him grandpa, and he called Xia Ruofei Martial Uncle. If Xia Ruofei and Li Hongyan were together, wouldn't it be too awkward for the two of them to meet?
Xia Ruofei naturally didn't know that Li Yifu's thoughts had already wandered a thousand miles. He didn't hear Li Yifu's answer and couldn't help but ask, "Yifu, can you hear me? Is there a problem with the signal? "
Li Yifu woke up from his dream and quickly said, "Yes! Yes! Martial Uncle, no problem, I'll call Chenghui right away! He didn't discuss this with me, or I definitely wouldn't let him do it! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. You can just tell him, but you have to be quick. Let him tell Family Song right away!"
Since Xia Ruofei wanted to prove it to Master Song and Song Zhi Lan, he naturally needed Li Chenghui to respond immediately. Otherwise, it would be too stupid for them to wait in the dining room.
However, Xia Ruofei's words had a different meaning in Li Yifu's ears. Martial Uncle seemed to care a lot about Hongyan! He was actually so anxious …
"Understood! Understood! " Li Yifu quickly said, "Martial Uncle, I'll make a call right away. Within ten minutes, Chenghui will contact Family Song!"
"En! You've worked hard! "Xia Ruofei said, and then asked," Yifu, this won't make things difficult for you, right? "
Li Yifu said in his heart, "How can I not make things difficult? When you become my grandniece's son-in-law, you'll be my martial uncle at the same time. What about the seniority? And what about the two martial grandmothers? Will they agree? "
However, he naturally didn't dare to say these words out loud. He could only reply, "No! No! It's just a small matter. Why would it be difficult? "
"That's good!" Xia Ruofei said.
He thought about it and felt that he still had to explain to Li Yifu. Otherwise, it would be too overbearing if he interfered rudely with other people's family matters.
So, he thought about it and said, "Yifu, it's nothing. It's a marriage alliance! We're just taking what we need. However, Family Song's marriage alliance this time, Song Rui, is a very good friend of mine, and he's already in a relationship. He doesn't want to sacrifice his love and happiness for the family's marriage alliance, so he asked for my help. I asked and found out that Li Hongyan is your grandniece, so I can only come to you for help. Although it's a little unreasonable, I have no choice. Xiao Rui is my good brother, so you have to help me with this. "
Li Yifu couldn't help but pat his forehead.
So that's what happened! I was almost scared to death …
Li Yifu's heart was pounding just now. He was afraid that his grandniece would become his martial grandmother. In comparison, asking his nephew to cancel the marriage alliance was not a problem at all.
Although Family Song had great influence in Huaxia, the Li family's roots were overseas. Although they had many businesses in the country, as long as they didn't offend these big families, they didn't have to be too careful.
Anyway, the marriage alliance was a matter of mutual consent. As long as it was explained clearly and didn't embarrass the other party, there wouldn't be any problems.
Even if Family Song really had a grudge against him, Li Yifu didn't care. His mind was now full of how to break through to the Gold Core stage. He didn't care about the Jiuzhou Group's business at all.
Anyway, if there was trouble, it would be Li Chenghui who would deal with it. It had nothing to do with him.
So, Li Yifu said without hesitation, "No problem! Martial Uncle, I'll definitely do this for you. You can rest assured! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have some doubts. Why did he feel that Li Yifu suddenly relaxed a lot, as if he was relieved?
However, Xia Ruofei didn't think so much and said, "I have a good relationship with Family Song. You tell Li Chenghui to explain it to the other party. Don't make any trouble because of this!"
"Okay! Okay! "Li Yifu said," I'll tell Chenghui! Martial Uncle, do you have any other orders? "
"No, you can call him now!" Xia Ruofei said.
After that, Xia Ruofei hung up the phone and returned to the restaurant.
Master Song asked with a smile, "Ruofei, you're so mysterious. What do you want to prove to us?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Grandpa Song, the mystery will be revealed soon. Let's drink first!"
"You little brat, don't keep me in suspense!" Master Song said with a laugh, "It's fine if you don't say it. You drink three glasses as punishment!"
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate to pick up the glass and said, "Grandpa Song, Auntie Song, I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you don't care about it because I'm young. I'll drink first!"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei gulped down the three cups of wine in one gulp.
Song Zhi Lan was a little embarrassed when she saw this. She said, "Ruofei, you're being too serious. We're talking to each other as family! There's no need to talk about offending! "
…
In Taoyuan Island, Li Yifu waited for Xia Ruofei to hang up the phone, then immediately called Li Chenghui's private cell phone.
It was seven o 'clock in the morning in the United States, and it was the weekend. Li Chenghui rarely had a day off, so he hadn't gotten up yet. When the phone on the bedside rang, he didn't look at the caller ID. He picked it up in a daze and said, "Hello!"
"Chenghui! You haven't gotten up yet? "Li Yifu asked.
When Li Chenghui heard his uncle's voice, he couldn't help but shudder. His sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He sat up on the bed and made a gesture to his wife, who had been woken up, to keep quiet. Then, he said respectfully, "Uncle! Today is the weekend. I worked overtime last night and slept a little late, so I slept a little later today … Do you have any orders? "
