(Tears racing... I updated a Chapter of 3000 words yesterday, but forgot to post it, so today it’s an additional update... May, can you get any darker!!!)

"Hmph, what does he know at his age, after seeing only a few girls? And what do you know? At such a young age, talking about life partners is a bit too soon."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Tang’s Mother’s lips as she dismissed Xiao Yi’s words with utmost disdain, finishing with an impatient look on her face, waving her hand, "Enough, Classmate Xiao, there’s no need for you to continue. I’ve already made my decision. No matter how eloquently you argue, it’s pointless. We have our own decision, and we absolutely will not agree to Tang Feng being with such a girl."
"Classmate Xiao, I appreciate your good intentions, but we are experienced. Whether it is family background or various other conditions, that girl is not a good match for Tang Feng, so, we will not agree to this."
The usually silent Tang’s Father also spoke up.
"Dad, Mom... how can you be like this, Li Ling and I truly love each other, is a girl’s family background really that important?"
Upon hearing his parents’ words, Fatty Tang’s face changed again, his chubby face turned beet red and he glared at his parents with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Fengfeng, listen, your mom and I are from an older generation, we see things clearer than you. I won’t stop you from dating that girl for a while, but please believe that as a wife, she really isn’t suitable."
Tang’s Mother looked at Fatty Tang with an unequivocal determination in her eyes.
"After all is said and done, Aunt and Uncle just look down on Li Ling’s background."
Hearing these irrational words from Tang’s Father and Tang’s Mother, even though he knew they ant well for Tang Feng to so extent, Xiao Yi still felt angry. He had not interacted much with Li Ling, but he highly admired her resilience.
At this mont, he could no longer hold back, and his face could no longer maintain its previous calm, "No mistake, Li Ling’s background isn’t great, she’s currently considered poor, with nothing to her na, but Aunt and Uncle, your wealth, your social status today, wasn’t achieved from nothing right? Given ti, Li Ling could very well surpass you."
"Young man, what big words. If what you say cos true, and that girl really reaches such a day, it only ans that our Fengfeng is not fortunate enough to deserve such a wonderful girl."
A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Tang’s Mother’s eyes, "Hmph, no mistake, we indeed started from nothing and worked hard to get here. But do you think the era we are in now is the sa as the one we ca up in?"
Tang’s Father also gently shook his head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, feeling that Xiao Yi’s recent words were sowhat impulsive.
He simply did not believe that Li Ling had the opportunity to reach their level, and did not even think she had a chance to rise again. They weren’t uninford about the girl; on the contrary, after knowing that their son was dating her, they did quite a bit of background checking.
It wasn’t because they thought their achievents were remarkable or that they looked down on Li Ling, nor did they distrust Xiao Yi’s praises of Li Ling’s attributes. However, he was very aware of the current social circumstances — a girl with only a high school diploma, with no social resources or connections, no matter how capable or intelligent, how far could she really go?
"Since we’ve co to this point, Aunt and Uncle, let’s talk straight. If Li Ling’s background changes, would you then be willing to accept her? Just tell directly, what kind of background does Li Ling need to have, in your eyes, to be worthy of Tang Feng?"
Having said this, Xiao Yi had also fully understood; Tang’s Father and Tang’s Mother, after saying so much, still focused on the issue of Li Ling’s background. They were like any other ordinary people — the reason they did not accept Li Ling was because they felt she couldn’t rise up.
Perhaps, as they said, in this current era, under normal circumstances, for Li Ling, to rise up on her own was an extrely challenging task, even if she could rise, who knows how many years it would take.
But for Xiao Yi, this was exactly the least of his concerns. He believed in Li Ling’s ability, and with his help, her rapid growth was not a difficult matter.
"We never thought about making our Fengfeng climb up to soone’s family level. We only need two things: one, the other party’s education should be no less than a bachelor’s, and two, the family background should be comparable to ours, even if slightly worse, it should at least be a family with tens of millions in property."
When Tang’s Mother heard Xiao Yi’s words, she was montarily stunned. What does Xiao Yi an with this tone? Is he saying that whatever background she needs, he can provide it? If that’s the case, isn’t he being a bit too presumptuous? Does he think he’s a god?
He has difficulty taking care of himself, yet he wants to help Li Ling?
After a while, she regained her composure, her lips curled into a cold smile with a tinge of anger.
"Tens of millions in property?"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a mont; he had thought, given Tang’s Mother’s rcenary nature, the demands she would make would be incredibly tough, but unexpectedly, her demands were quite low.
"Yes, tens of millions in property, that’s the most conservative estimate. You have to know, all of the Tang family’s assets will one day belong to our Fengfeng. Even if we were to sell our business at the lowest price, it wouldn’t go for less than 100 million. This request isn’t high, is it?"
Hmph, how about that, scared you, didn’t it?
Seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, Tang’s Mother’s eyes glead with a mocking tone.
"Mom..."
Fatty Tang saw his mother’s expression and was about to say sothing else. He was nearly furious by now. How could his parents be so rcenary? He was looking for a lifelong partner, not so multimillion-dollar estate.
Forget millions, Li Ling didn’t even have ten thousand to her na. With how little profit her small shop made, after paying for her mother’s dical bills, reaching ten million was a distant dream.
But just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yi held him back.
"This requirent is not at all high!"
Xiao Yi looked at Tang’s Mother, calmly stating, "I hope Aunt and Uncle, you will keep your promise."
"I promise I will keep it!"
Tang’s Mother, hearing Xiao Yi actually say her demand wasn’t high, and his tone so certain, couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation. Did this kid really think he was so sort of god? Ten million, just with that little girl, from her poor family? Absurd!
"As long as she has an estate of ten million and also a Bachelor’s degree!"
"As for the degree, it shouldn’t be a problem for Li Ling, at most it will take her a couple of years, I believe, and she will definitely have it."
Xiao Yi seed oblivious to the mocking tone in Tang’s Mother’s voice, his expression remaining serenely indifferent, "As for the ten million, that’s even simpler."
Having said that, he didn’t wait for Tang’s Mother to say or ask anything. He just pulled out a check from his clothing, started writing on it swiftly, and once done, he held it up and presented it to Tang’s Mother, "Aunt Tang, you’re in business, you should recognize whether a check is real or not, right? There shouldn’t be any problem with this check, but if you’re still not assured, you can directly call the bank to verify."
"This..."
Listening to Xiao Yi, everyone was stunned and couldn’t believe what he had done.
They hadn’t expected that this young man, clad in what appeared to be a less than five hundred yuan outfit, could so easily write a check for ten million!
Fatty Tang was also dumbfounded as he looked at Xiao Yi, his eyes showing an expression of disbelief.
Ten million? Could his boss really afford ten million?
Wasn’t his boss from the countryside?
"Aunt, don’t you want to check it?"
Xiao Yi looked at the astonished Tang Family mbers and did not explain anything; he simply smiled slightly, directing his gaze towards Tang’s Mother.
Hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Tang’s Mother finally snapped back to reality. She didn’t hesitate, took the check with one hand, and began scrutinizing it intensely, flipping over it repeatedly.
"No mistake, this is a ten million check."
After checking once, her expression turned sour, but she still acknowledged Xiao Yi’s check. She vaguely guessed what he intended but remained uncertain, "But what does this an? This is your check, it has nothing to do with her."
"Fatty, please help give this ten million to Li Ling,"
Xiao Yi’s lips curved in a slight smile, turning his head to Fatty Tang and smiling subtly, "Tell her, this is a brother’s gift upon eting her. Afterwards, let her push herself hard, I believe in her capabilities; she will certainly be extraordinary in the future. Only those who have suffered and been tempered will know, happiness isn’t easily attained!"
"Boss!"
Fatty Tang almost thought he had misheard until he saw the encouraging smile in Xiao Yi’s eyes. He suddenly reacted, his face overflowing with gratitude, and tears almost starting to form in his eyes, he even forgot to oppose.
Xiao Yi had just given Li Ling ten million for his sake!
This act of kindness was profoundly significant!
Ten million! Not rely ten thousand or a thousand. Even the Tang family, it wasn’t easy for them to pull out ten million all at once. Even if Xiao Yi was very rich, in an era where lending a friend a re eight or ten thousand was extrely arduous, and discussing money could hurt relationships, being willing to give away ten million was akin to a bond deeper than mountains and oceans!
