Chapter 819 - 859: Thinking in the Same Direction
Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er were both from prominent families in the Capital City, while Ye Yunzhu’s family was a major clan in the province. Su Mengxin and Ye Yunzhu had contributed a lot to their families and harbored deep feelings for their familial legacies.
Ning Xin’er, however, was not so fond of her family; the rebellious girl had always found certain practices within her family disagreeable.
But now that they were about to establish the Li family, all three girls felt an unexplainable excitement—even Ning Xin’er was filled with anticipation.
Forming a new family meant rules and affairs would be set by them instead of being mere pawns in their current family dynamics; this idea was thrilling on an intrinsic level.
Chu Xiaoyao was still sitting on Li Yifei’s lap, her hand stealthily lifting the back of Li Yifei’s shirt to caress his back. As for the family matters being discussed, Xiaoyao was utterly indifferent. As long as Li Yifei was willing to have her and liked her, she was happy.
Li Yifei, with his eyes squinted, was actually rather tempted by the proposal. His interest was indeed sparked by Xu Yingying’s injury.
His prowess was formidable under normal circumstances; he could protect those close to him. However, with so many people around him now, it was impossible for him to be with them at all times. If someone targeted them, even if he could decimate the Yamaguchi Group as he had before, it did not change the fact that Xu Yingying still hadn’t woken up.
Therefore, for the sake of his family and the cherished people in his life, Li Yifei knew he had to possess his own power and the strength to ensure their safety.
He did have some mercenaries at his disposal, but ultimately they belonged to a mercenary organization. Using them like this was a necessity for Li Yifei at the moment, but relying on them permanently was unrealistic, unless he regained full control over the organization.
Yet, Li Yifei had no desire to do so. He had taken over the mercenary organization only out of a sense of emergency; now that he had handed it over, retaking control would lead to significant inconveniences. It could trouble the mercenaries and even potentially destroy the organization.
