Chapter 834 - 875: Meeting Comrades-in-Arms
Li Yifei flashed an uninhibited smile, "Old Master, I appreciate your kindness, but as for how far my Li family can go, I hope we can strive for it on our own. Only then can our existence have meaning. Even for our children, I don’t wish for them to achieve success without effort. I want them to be involved in the struggles of our Li family so that they can cherish everything they obtain. If I prepare everything for them too soon, I fear they will end up like many spoiled children, which won’t do them any good."
Old Master Su stared at Li Yifei and suddenly burst into laughter, "Such a philosophy you have is indeed quite interesting. But since you’ve said as much, I’ll refrain from interfering. I am actually curious to see how, in today’s society, a new family can establish itself."
Old Master Su wasn’t making idle threats. There were many great families in Huaxia, and quite a few had risen in recent years. But either they were wealthy tycoons or political heavyweights. Li Yifei, on the other hand, came from humble beginnings, and the thought of establishing a family seemed somewhat overambitious.
Li Yifei laughed, "The family I speak of establishing doesn’t necessarily have to be like feudal lords. Mainly, I want to ensure a comfortable life for my family and provide them with a safe environment. We would already have enough for a decent life if nobody targeted me and my family for their machinations. But it seems without adequate strength, there will always be those who come for you. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to protect myself."
Old Master Su huffed, "It’s because you have mixed up with so many women. If it were just Mengxin and you, there wouldn’t be nearly as many problems."
"A man must take responsibility for his actions. Now that I am with them, I must ensure a stable living environment for them. That is a man’s responsibility."
"Alright, once you manage to settle this matter, we from above will cover for you and facilitate some conveniences for you."
"I won’t be shy about accepting that. Then when the time comes, I can bring up your esteemed name to see who dares to trouble me."
Old Master Su was amused and frustrated by Li Yifei’s comment, "You think I have that much free time?"
With Old Master Su’s position, his daily responsibilities were truly overwhelming. Just the fact that he could have this private meeting with Li Yifei was incredibly rare. Thus, he left shortly after.
