Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Assist

"Even if you find someone whose family background is similar to ours, or even worse than ours, does that really mean they’ll be that suitable? Suitability isn’t about the conditions, it’s about what the in-laws are like."

"On this point I can vouch for it—there’s no way you’ll find elders as good as the Zhao Family’s."

Of course, the elders in the other families are all very nice too.

But it’s not like you can just pick and choose among the Eight Great Families, right?

So what Ye Fei was actually saying was that she’d already excluded all the other families.

Just compare the Zhao Family with an ordinary family.

Mrs. Li was persuaded by Ye Fei.

What Ye Fei said really did make a lot of sense.

What she meant was actually very simple.

It’s like when people say, "If you marry a man who isn’t good-looking, you’ll feel that the handsome ones can’t be kept in check, that they’ll fool around." But does that mean a man who isn’t good-looking won’t cheat or have an affair?

In fact, it’s basically the same reasoning.

"Godmother, look at me. After I got married, aren’t I living just like any ordinary girl after marriage? There’s no difference. I’m still doing the work I love, and I go back to the Zhao Family from time to time to visit the elders." Ye Fei said with a smile.

"The main advantage is that I can focus on my career without worrying what happens if things don’t go well. I don’t have to worry that if I’m busy with work, I won’t be able to take care of the family. Because Gu Shen is my backbone; he doesn’t need me to worry about those things. If my career ever runs into a bottleneck and starts to go downhill, he’s still standing behind me."

"When I can’t take care of the household, he does. Fourth Uncle will be like that too. He won’t be like those men who are busy with their careers and think it’s only natural that I should be busy with mine, and it’s also natural that you should keep the house. They use my being busy with work as an excuse to dump everything at home onto you. As if no one else is busy? As if no one else has a job?" Ye Fei laughed. "But Gu Shen and Fourth Uncle would never do that."

"They think we’re equals, and they’d even willingly sacrifice their own interests to support their wives. You probably find it hard to believe that there are still such good men nowadays, don’t you?"

Mrs. Li nodded.

She could believe the first part of what Ye Fei had said.

But when it came to what Ye Fei said at the end, Mrs. Li found it quite unbelievable.

"They... can really go that far?" Mrs. Li said in surprise.

"I know Gu Shen very well. He definitely would do that, and he wouldn’t even think twice about it." Of course, if the roles were reversed, Ye Fei would do the same.

She even had a kind of confidence now.

For Zhao Gushen, she would give up her life if she had to.

As for Xiao Mo, she believed that with Zhao Gushen there, he would certainly take good care of Xiao Mo.

So if she ever had to make a sacrifice, she could do it with no worries holding her back.

She even believed that Zhao Gushen would never remarry.

He’d rather raise Xiao Mo on his own than find someone else.

She didn’t know why, but that’s just how she felt.

That man had a kind of stubbornness that was different from other people.

"And I believe Fourth Uncle would be the same. Because he and Gu Shen are close, and since I trust Gu Shen, I trust him too." Ye Fei said.

"Of course, this is just how I see it. What things will really be like, you only know once something actually happens. It’s just that with bad things, it’s better if you never encounter them in your whole life." Ye Fei said with a smile.

"There’s one thing about Fourth Uncle that’s especially rare." Ye Fei added.

"What is it?" Mrs. Li quickly asked.

"Fourth Uncle is just like Xiao Yun—he’s still single and has never been in a relationship." Ye Fei said.

Mrs. Li was stunned, feeling like the world in front of her was about to shatter: "He’s already thirty-seven! And he’s never dated?"

"I haven’t asked in detail, but Fourth Uncle is someone with very high standards. If he doesn’t like someone, he absolutely won’t force himself to be with her just to get married. Gu Shen told me Fourth Uncle has never been in love before."

"Oh my, two people with no relationship experience together—can that even work?" Mrs. Li started pondering.

Ye Fei pressed her lips together, smiling: "So you’re already agreeing to those two being together?"

"..." Mrs. Li said, "I didn’t say that."

"You’re already worrying about how the two of them will get along, and you say you don’t agree?" Ye Fei said, laughing.

"You!" Mrs. Li said, half laughing, half crying. "You’re getting more and more sly."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "But the two of us talking this much here doesn’t mean anything. What matters is what the people involved want."

"Right." Mrs. Li remembered that too.

Right now, Li Xiaoyun was still naively thinking she and Zhao Dingli were just friends.

It looked like Zhao Dingli still had a long road ahead of him.

For her to be worrying this much already was a bit premature.

"Godmother, if there’s anything else you want to know later, just ask me on WeChat. If there’s anything you want to know about Fourth Uncle, don’t feel shy about it. Ask me, and if I don’t know, I’ll go ask Gu Shen. It’s no big deal." Ye Fei said.

"Alright." Mrs. Li felt this was definitely a bonus point for Zhao Dingli.

Since Li Xiaoyun was free to date, they’d have to slowly get to know what the other person was really like.

If there was anything bad and the other party deliberately hid it, they’d have no way of knowing.

Even blind dates weren’t necessarily reliable.

The matchmaker wouldn’t know everything either.

But with Ye Fei here, she was basically saying everything she knew.

To put Mr. Li and Mrs. Li at ease, she’d already said a lot.

And Ye Fei really did know her stuff, much more reliable than those matchmakers who only half-understand things.

"Let’s head out first." Ye Fei reminded her. "Otherwise, the two of us whispering in here for so long is going to make them suspicious."

"Okay." Mrs. Li went out with Ye Fei. Ye Fei went back into the kitchen again and washed the dishes with Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun still didn’t know that Mrs. Li and Ye Fei had had a private talk.

Ye Fei and Mrs. Li had a tacit understanding and didn’t tell Li Xiaoyun.

When everyone was about to leave that night, Mr. Li asked, "Xiao Yun, you’re leaving too?"

Li Xiaoyun froze for a moment, then remembered that she could stay home for the night.

When she came home on weekends, she usually stayed over.

These days she’d gotten used to living at Zhao Dingli’s place and had even developed a sense of belonging there.

She’d instinctively thought to leave with Zhao Dingli and had even forgotten that she was in her own home now.

There was no way Li Xiaoyun could let her parents know she was currently living with Zhao Dingli.

So she said, "I’ll go see them off and come back later."

Mr. Li was very pleased to hear that.

Mrs. Li said, "I’ll go with you."

"No, no." Ye Fei hurriedly said. "You stay here with Godfather. We’re not outsiders, there’s no need to see us off."

"Right, I’ll represent you." Li Xiaoyun chimed in.

So Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were persuaded to stay home.

Li Xiaoyun walked them downstairs.

Ye Fei felt that Li Xiaoyun staying over at her parents’ house was the most natural thing.

She wasn’t usually home, so when she finally came back for the weekend, of course she should spend time with her parents.
