Chapter 1859: Chapter 1921: The Two Elder Sus et
Li Yifei drove to the bottom of Song Lianyao’s building, pondering whether to call Murong Yuanqing, but decided against it as he wasn’t clear about the situation yet. It didn’t seem simple; the grudges and grievances of the previous generation were not sothing he should get involved in. However, since he promised Elder Su, Li Yifei had to try his best. The first step was to start seriously healing. Lately, he hadn’t been very anxious about healing because he wanted to make it up to the ladies at ho. Now it seed urgent to prioritize it.
Thinking it over, he decided to call Su ngxin’s grandfather. The phone rang a few tis before the old man answered, "Kid, what made you think to call ?"
"I miss you!" Li Yifei said.
Old Master Su chuckled and said, "I’d believe it if ngxin said that, but you, not so much. Tell , have you gotten into trouble again?"
"Well... Old Master, can’t I miss you?" Li Yifei said, speechless.
"You can, but that’s not your nature," Old Master Su said, then urged, "Just get to the point. I have two research papers to read."
"Alright, I’ll get straight to it," Li Yifei said. "But it’s not a bad thing; it’s actually a good thing!"
"You have good news?"
"Really, Grandpa, I saved soone a few days ago, also surnad Su."
"There are many with the surna Su, millions across the country."
"This particular Elder Su is a significant figure. Okay, I won’t keep you in suspense. I’m here to confirm sothing with you. Do you have an uncle?" Li Yifei asked.
Old Master Su had been balancing the call with Li Yifei while reading so docunts. Hearing this, his hand trembled, and his eyes blinked rapidly as mories buried for decades resurfaced. Then, feeling slightly emotional, he said, "Yifei, how did you know about this? Could it be that the person you saved is my uncle? No, it’s impossible. For my uncle to live to this age, he’d have to be over a hundred. I rember my father saying his older brother was 20 or 30 years older than him. How could you possibly have t him?"
Li Yifei smiled and said, "That’s why I’m asking you. Here’s the situation..."
Li Yifei repeated the words from another Elder Su exactly as he had heard them. There was a long silence on the other end before a trembling voice said, "Are you saying that this Northerner among the East, West, South, and North, this Elder Su is my uncle?"
"If he’s not lying, then yes," Li Yifei nodded.
"What’s his na?" Old Master Su asked urgently.
Li Yifei thought for a mont; Elder Su had ntioned his na when talking about himself...
"If I rember correctly, it’s Su Tianhai."
"Could it be true?" Old Master’s voice grew even more excited. He mumbled, "My father’s na was Su Tianhe, and I had another second uncle nad Su Tianhu..."
"Then it’s likely true..." Li Yifei said.
Old Master Su suddenly fell silent. At his advanced age, with perhaps only a few years left, a senior family mber suddenly appeared. He needed to process this. Such a venerable figure had no reason to lie, and moreover, he didn’t co to recognize kinship but simply made a request of Li Yifei, which made it more credible. Furthermore, sharing part of a na with his father’s, Old Master Su decided to search the family genealogy imdiately.
This genealogy had been recompiled, as the previous one was long lost. The newly compiled genealogy held authority, given his status as an esteed cadre, which the state valued.
It took him five minutes to find the genealogy. Old Master Su turned to his father’s generation but found only his second uncle’s na, not his uncle’s. Not that the person never existed, but there was a blank space where his na should have been.
Could it be true? No, by now, Old Master Su no longer doubted the truth of this matter. Given the person’s stature, there was no need to lie. Hence, he was deeply moved. Since the birth of Old Master Su, his father hadn’t been in contact with his uncle, and even until his father’s passing, he hadn’t found him. This was a regret for his father.
In the ancestral hall, Old Master Su could barely contain his excitent. He respectfully bowed to the ancestral tablets and said, "Father, I may have found Uncle; he’s still alive. What I didn’t expect is that he is one of Huaxia’s five remaining illustrious figures, guarding the Northeast."
"It truly is incredible news. To think that in my lifeti, I could still et Uncle. I’ll ask Yifei to confirm again, and if certain, I’ll set off to et Uncle." Old Master Su was unable to wait. Compared to Uncle, he was just an ordinary person, even with the best dical care he might expire anyti. On the other hand, according to Li Yifei, Su Tianhai’s condition wasn’t good.
No ti to delay! Old Master Su returned to his study, unable to focus on work, sothing rare for him—an indication of the magnitude of this matter’s impact.
anwhile, Li Yifei called Su Tianhai again. The phone connected, and this ti, it was the old man who answered. Li Yifei didn’t know what to call him; should he address him as Great-Grandfather?
Su Tianhai seed to sense Li Yifei’s embarrassnt and laughed, saying, "You can call
whatever you like. From what I heard, you had no trouble calling
old man when you saved ."
"But that’s different. By seniority, I should call you Great-Grandfather!" Li Yifei said with a wry smile.
"It doesn’t matter. You and Old Murong are equals. He and I are of the sa generation, so you’re allowed to dispense with formalities."
"Don’t say that. You’re calling Elder Murong ’old man,’ which ans we’re a generation apart again!" Li Yifei said.
"Haha, whatever you say. So, what’s up, why are you calling?"
"There’s sothing. Here’s the thing, I just called ngxin’s grandpa. The old man got very excited after hearing from
and wanted to et you as soon as possible. I’m just coordinating things here, and I really hope the two of you can et."
Su Tianhai fell silent instead. After a mont of contemplation, he said, "Actually, eting or not eting doesn’t really matter; we haven’t t for so many years. It doesn’t make much sense. He is now in an important position. As for , although I don’t hold any position, I have great responsibilities... Alright, just tell him we will et directly at Changbai Mountain in a few days. You should go too. I still need to give you the dicine to help heal your injuries."
"Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll go tell Grandpa now."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei quickly called Old Master Su, who was evidently waiting. Li Yifei explained the arrangent to Old Master Su, who repeatedly agreed, setting the ti for next week. Old Master Su would go there in advance.
After making these calls, Li Yifei locked the car and went upstairs with his phone in hand. Once ho, he found several people from the Song Family there. One woman was holding a child. As soon as they saw Li Yifei co in, they stood up promptly, looking rather uneasy. Li Yifei didn’t recognize these people, so he looked at Song Lianyao and asked with a smile, "Wifey, quickly make the introductions!"
Song Lianyao introduced their identities, and after Li Yifei greeted them individually, he played with the child for a while. He then excused himself to go upstairs, where he changed into casual clothes before coming back down to join the conversation.
When he returned, those people didn’t dare stay much longer and soon took their leave. After they left, noticing sothing was off with Song Lianyao’s expression, Li Yifei smiled and asked, "What’s wrong? Who upset my wifey?"
"Nothing really, just felt so people were taking advantage."
"Hmm?"
"That sister just now, she heard I’ve been quite generous, casually giving gifts worth hundreds of thousands, so she ca over with her child. Not long after, she started hinting about gifts, talking nonsense. It’s really enough."
"Haha, that’s normal. You can’t expect everyone to be so smart, right? If she wants it, we have to give it to her."
"Exactly. I didn’t say anything, and neither did my mom. That’s why they left," Song Lianyao said, curling her lips.
Li Yifei chuckled, wrapping his arms around Song Lianyao’s slim waist. Despite just having given birth a few months ago, she’s already back to her original shape, which speaks to the effort she put in.
Song Lianyao quickly turned around and started sniffing Li Yifei. Knowing her intentions, Li Yifei reached up to pinch her cheek and said, "What are you sniffing for? I didn’t do anything."
"That’s not certain."
"Then you should go sll the clothes I changed out of. This outfit is new!"
Song Lianyao grinned, kissed Li Yifei on the lips, and said, "I believe you, but don’t bla
for watching you closely. Your charm is just too great. I’m worried that if I don’t keep an eye on you, you might bring another girl ho."
"I admit I’m charming, but I wouldn’t just bring anyone ho, you can rest assured about that."
Song Lianyao helped adjust Li Yifei’s clothes and tenderly said, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap? I noticed you drank again!"
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I’m not tired, but I might have to leave in a few days."
Li Yifei then briefly explained to Song Lianyao what happened today. Hearing that Su ngxin’s grandfather suddenly had an older brother— the sa Old Master Su that Li Yifei had saved— Song Lianyao was also surprised, then nodded in understanding and said, "Darling, you should go ahead. I’ll stay ho with the child for a few more days."
"I won’t be able to accompany you."
"You silly thing, even having these few days together has made
really happy, honestly."
"Then tell , what has been the happiest mont these past few days?" Li Yifei asked mischievously.
Song Lianyao already had her hand on Li Yifei’s waist, leaning in, her eyes narrowing into pretty crescents. In a sweet voice, she said, "Every mont was happy, but the happiest was in that little grove..."
Li Yifei imdiately had a reaction, his hands clasping Song Lianyao’s hips, grasping her soft and round curves, "Shall we go to the little grove again?"
"No!" Song Lianyao shook her head bashfully and then quickly said, "We can do it right here!"
"Your parents are still downstairs."
"They went downstairs for a stroll with the child..."
Why wait any longer then? Li Yifei lifted Song Lianyao, who wrapped her legs around his waist effortlessly...
