The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 715 - 0: Visiting to Propose Marriage
Chapter 715: Chapter 0715: Visiting to Propose Marriage
After making a round of phone calls, it was almost midnight.
Fortunately, people these days tend to sleep late; otherwise, Long Fei would feel embarrassed to disturb them.
He Yan and Su Yiyi both received the notice, and to make it convenient for Su Yiyi to come over, Long Fei asked her to bring her father along as well.
Doing so also took into account Su Yiyi’s dignity.
People from the Cultivation World, the Shen Family’s Shen Feng and Shen Yan’er, the Jiang Family’s Jiang Yunlan and Jiang Yunyi, and the Clan Leader Jiang Zongcheng.
From the Demon Beast Sect, Hu Benyang and Ying Changkong.
From the Imperial Spirit Sect, Niu Dao.
The elder of the Xianggang Zhang Family and Zhang Xuan’er.
Long Fei called all of them in one go.
Whether they would come was one thing; whether to notify them was another.
If you don’t give a heads-up, people will certainly be unhappy, thinking that you look down on them.
After making the calls, even Long Fei himself felt it was a bit strange.
His friends ranged from high officials to people of all sorts; essentially, he knew all kinds of people.
Late into the night, after the village chief and a bunch of people had dispersed, he and Lin Yingying finally went back to sleep in their house.
Nobody tossed and turned that night; they simply didn’t have the energy.
At dawn, Long Fei went to tell his grandfather about the Lin Family’s request.
The Elder Master Lin readily agreed, saying that although the matter was a bit hurried, the necessary formalities indeed could not be omitted.
In the morning, when Li Fugui came over, he initially asked Li Fugui to take care of things at home.
But after hearing him out, Li Fugui insisted on following along, saying that as per the customs of Binhai City, there must be a matchmaker and a person to officiate the wedding.
Knowing that he couldn’t be the officiant, he was adamant about being the matchmaker.
When negotiating terms with the other party, having him mediate would make it easy; the two families just needed to exchange pleasantries.
Elder Master Lin thought he made sense and decided to take him along.
He specifically changed into a Zhongshan suit he used to wear when he was young, which was originally grey but had faded to almost white after many years of washing.
The two men took a car with Lin Yingying and Long Fei back to the city.
On the way, Elder Master Lin asked Long Fei, "My eldest grandson, I heard someone came to challenge you at our home yesterday?"
"Yes!"
Long Fei nodded and reassured him, "That person has already been taken care of by me; you don’t need to worry about these things."
Elder Master Lin said, "I’m not worried, grandson. I just want to tell you, Longjiawan Village will always be your strong backing. If there are any difficulties you can’t resolve, our fellow villagers will help you together."
Li Fugui also exclaimed, "That’s right, Long Fei. Although Longjiawan Village may be poor, our hearts are united. If anyone wants to bully you, we will all help you fight back!"
"Got it."
Long Fei nodded, his heart warmed by their words; just having them say this was enough.
It was unnecessary to involve them in helping; the people of Longjiawan Village combined were no match for Tang Fengnian and his disciple.
Long Fei speculated that the two of them must have invited some powerful reinforcements.
Otherwise, they would be aware of his strength and would not have come to provoke him so brazenly.
Upon reaching the city, Li Fugui immediately exclaimed, "Oh my dear mother, the development in the city has been way too fast over these years, hasn’t it? Look how tall these buildings are built and look at the cars running; my goodness, there must be thousands of them in this long line?"
Both Lin Yingying and Long Fei smiled and asked him, "Uncle Fugui, how many years has it been since you last came to the city?"
Li Fugui counted and said, "Almost fifteen years, I suppose? The last time I came was when the city held a meeting for grassroots officials. I rode that little car around the city. Back then, the buildings weren’t this tall, were they?"
Changes here happen overnight. Forget fifteen years; even coming back after one year, you wouldn’t recognize the roads.
Lin Yingying greeted, "After we’ve finished discussing matters at my house, let Long Fei accompany you two elders on a tour around. Eat everything that should be eaten, visit all that should be visited; that way, the trip won’t be in vain."
"Agreed, agreed!"
Li Fugui nodded eagerly.
Elder Long, however, didn’t show much interest. The sound of the traffic on the road was giving him a bit of a headache.
The car didn’t enter the city but made its way around the third ring road towards Dongyang Mountain.
All the relatives and friends of the Lin Family came today, their faces a mix of confusion and surprise upon hearing that Lin Yingying was engaged.
Everyone surrounded Lin Shanshan and gave her an earful, leaving her pretty much speechless.
She was kept in the dark just like everyone else, clueless about the whole affair!
Elder Master Lin, on the other hand, took it all in stride. Twenty years had passed, and finally, one of his worries was laid to rest.
He instructed his son and relatives, saying when Long Santai arrived later, no one was to be rude to him and that everyone should treat him with respect.
Although everyone internally grumbled about the lack of courtesy from others, since Elder Master Lin had spoken, they dared not say much more.
Soon, the jeep entered the estate.
Once Li Fugui got out of the car, his legs felt somewhat weak. He gazed at the luxurious villa in front of him and swallowed hard, remarking in awe, "Goodness, this place is even more magnificent than where the Emperor lives!"
Long Santai, supported by Long Fei as he got out of the car, coughed twice and said, "Stay calm, don’t embarrass Longjiawan Village."
"Don’t worry, don’t worry!"
Li Fugui nodded, adjusted his Zhongshan suit, and even pulled out a fountain pen from somewhere to tuck into his pocket, adopting the appearance of a cultured person from the past.
Lin Shanshan, upon seeing them, was the first to run over and hug Lin Yingying’s arm, protesting, "Big sis, you’re finally back, I was almost nagged to death. You could have at least given us a heads-up; they made me feel like I was hiding things from them on purpose."
Lin Yingying patted her head with a smile and introduced her sister to Li Fugui and Long Santai.
Li Fugui lavishly praised, "Beautiful, beautiful, the Lin family surely raises fine people! The older sister is gorgeous, and the younger sister is just as lovely. Our Long Fei is truly fortunate!"
Lin Shanshan blushed at the compliment. Beautiful is one thing, but what did he mean by Long Fei being fortunate?
Long Fei, overhearing this, also felt it was a bit improper and quickly smoothed things over by suggesting Lin Shanshan lead everyone inside.
In their area, there was a distasteful convention that a sister-in-law was part of the bride’s dowry.
It was half teasing, half jesting.
Such words from the village head were taken as humor when said to others, but it was somewhat inappropriate when it came to Lin Shanshan and the others.
The group entered the house, and the living room was already crowded with people of all ages, gathered together.
The main relatives of the Lin family had probably all arrived. When they saw Long Santai and Li Fugui, they couldn’t help but laugh, thinking here were two real country bumpkins; they really did come from the countryside!
Long Fei knew what the laughter signified, but he didn’t want to quarrel on such a joyous occasion.
Li Fugui, mistaking their laughter as a sign of joy, enthusiastically greeted everyone.
"It’s like Liu Lao-lao entering the Grand View Garden!"
Lin Yingying’s second uncle, Lin Guohao, and his wife displayed a hint of malice in their eyes, their lips curling into a cold sneer. They planned to take a moment later to ridicule Long Santai thoroughly as a way to vent their frustrations caused by Long Fei. Due to Long Fei, their son Lin Jiahui couldn’t even return to the country.
Zheng Tuo and Zheng Lili, sitting to one side, also harbored deep resentment towards Long Fei.
They had finally latched onto the Wuu Family, a major force, only to see it uprooted not long after.
Zheng Tuo now both hated and feared Long Fei and had temporarily sheathed his claws, waiting for the right opportunity to exact revenge.
Zheng Lili, having been saved by Long Fei and Fat Wang previously, had since grown quite close to Fat Wang.
When Long Fei approached, she naturally greeted him with warmth.
Elder Master Lin watched as Long Santai approached and, upon his arrival, grasped his hand, his voice trembling slightly with emotion, "Old friend, we finally meet again. Look, twenty years have flashed by in the blink of an eye, and all the children have grown up."
"You can say that again!"
Long Santai, clasping his hand, sat down together with him, and both were filled with a myriad of emotions upon this reunion.
