<h4>Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250</h4>


    In the courtyard of Liu Laoda’s house, a cool breeze was blowing.


    But Xiao Cui kept her head down, her rosy cheeks blushing.


    Clearly, the Liu Family had already epted Lin Yifan as their son-inw.


    This made her heart flutter, and her affectionate eyes asionally peeked at Lin Yifan.


    "Ahem, ahem..."


    Sitting at the table, Old Li felt like he was on pins and needles.


    Pretending to cough a few times, he finally interrupted Boss Liu’s words.


    "Lao Liu, we’ve known each other for a long time, and today I came over because there’s something I want to discuss with you."


    Old Li tugged at Li Hao’s sleeve and said.


    "I’ve watched Xiao Cui grow up. This girl has been smart since she was a child, whether in studies or appearance, she’s the best in our vige. As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good girl deserves a good guy. In recent years, my son has done quite well outside and has be a boss."


    "Uncle Liu, here’s my business card."


    Li Hao quickly stood up and handed over his gold-embossed business card with both hands.


    But Boss Liu took it and just ced it on the table without even ncing at it.


    "Old Li’s words are right. My daughter is also someone notable in these parts, smart since she was little. Unfortunately, her mother and I didn’t have much schooling. Yifan, you’re the first college graduate in our vige, a good man of our vige. In the future, you should spend more time with Xiao Cui."


    Boss Liu feigned ignorance and put this "good man"bel onto Lin Yifan.


    "Yes, I’ll definitely take care of Xiao Cui."


    Lin Yifan could only nod in agreement, holding his wine ss and sneaking a nce at Old Li, who looked awkward.


    "But, Uncle Liu, you see, as a man grows up he should marry, and as a woman matures she should wed. We’re all familiar with each other here. My son has been making a little money abroad these years and doesn’t n to go back. He wants to settle down and start a family in the Provincial City."


    Old Li, unwilling to give up, continued to jump into the conversation.


    "Settling down in the Provincial City is a good thing since he’s quite capable."


    Boss Liu nodded, and thepliment immediately pleased Li Hao.


    "We’ve gotten used to living in the countryside and can’t enjoy the city life. I used to think I’d be poor in the vige forever, but now it’s different. With someone talented like Lin Yifan willing toe back, I believe it won’t be long before you lead our vige to prosperity. Xiao Cui, remember, this is where you were born and raised, and even after graduation, you shoulde back. You can enjoy life in the countryside too."


    Unexpectedly, as he turned his words, Li Hao’s heart, which had just felt warm, cooled down again.


    "Dad, I understand. I will definitely learn well from Brother Yifan."


    Xiao Cui nodded shyly, and anyone could see the mutual affection between them.


    Old Li coughed a few more times, but no one paid him any attention.


    Unable to join the conversation, he kept signaling Li Hao with his eyes.


    "Xiao Cui, I heard this afternoon that there’s a temple fair at the Jade Emperor Temple in town tomorrow. How about I drive you there?"


    Li Hao thought for a moment and found a topic to bring up.


    "A temple fair, it should be simr to a market, right?"


    Xiao Cui replied politely.


    "It’s different, the temple fair is more interesting than a market. I heard there’s a stage set up with famous performersing. Why don’t we check it out together?"


    Li Hao quickly added.


    "Brother Yifan, if you have time tomorrow, shall we go together?"


    Xiao Cui didn’t respond to Li Hao but looked at Lin Yifan instead.


    "No problem, I haven’t been to a temple fair in years."


    Lin Yifan, of course, didn’t have the heart to refuse.


    With the two instantly agreeing, Li Hao, who had just suggested the outing, was left out in the cold.


    Throughout the meal, the Li family duo was practically invisible, with no one paying them any attention.


    As the sun set, Lin Yifan’s WeChat was buzzing again.


    While both Xu Fengxian and Shen Shiyao sent messages, the majority were from Jiufeng.


    Tonight, Xizhu went to the neighboring vige to drink and wouldn’te back.


    She had changed into something sexy and enchanting, sending one suggestive selfie after another to Lin Yifan.


    Looking at her voluptuousness, Lin Yifan truly couldn’t drink any more wine.


    "Uncle Liu, you all continue to drink, I’m heading back."


    Standing up, Lin Yifan said to Boss Liu.


    "Dad, I’m going to sleep over at Miao Miao’s house tonight."


    Xiao Cui quickly stood up too.


    "Alright, alright, you go ahead."


    Boss Liu heard it, but it sounded entirely different to him.


    After all, the two of them were leaving together, and whether Xiao Cui actually went to Miao Miao’s house, no one knew.


    Watching the two walk out shoulder to shoulder, Li Hao couldn’t sit still either, gave a nod and left first.


    Only Old Li was left, stubbornly sitting at the table.


    "Boss Liu, my son Li Hao is also quite the catch. Just give me a clear word about this marriage proposal. You can ask for as much betrothal money as you want."


    Taking a swig of wine, Old Li bluntlyid it out.


    "Old Li, my family may be poor, but we’re not moved by a little betrothal money. Your son might be impressivepared to others, but if you’reparing him to my no-show Liu the Sixth, then he’s miles ahead. Butpared to Lin Yifan... he’s leagues behind."


    Boss Liu smiled as he set down his chopsticks.


    He was not afraid of offending Old Li.


    "Boss Liu, Liu Shimin, I don’t like hearing that. Why can’t my sonpare to him?"


    Old Li said, face flushed, neck stiffened.


    "What are youparing? Height or looks? Education or skills? Haven’t you heard, the car your son drives is worth less than a single tire of his. Where does your confidencee from?"


    Liu Laosan said, squinting his eyes, wine ss in hand.


    The mockingughter from the others was immediate.


    "My son... my son... he’s filial, he knows how to care for people."


    Old Li was at a loss for words, muttering for a long time before squeezing this out.


    "Whose house in our vige doesn’t have zed tiles? Your old y roof still has cement tiles, where’s his filial piety in that?"


    Liu the Fourth spoke bluntly, leaving Old Li unable to stay seated any longer.


    "My son said, he has a big vi in the city prepared for us, in a few days he’ll take us there to enjoy life, with maids to serve us. Let me tell you, Boss Liu, that injury Xiao Cui had a few days ago was thanks to me, I arranged offerings at home and talked with the Snake Immortal to spare her life. You ungrateful bunch, burning the bridge after crossing it, you’ll... you’ll regret this..."


    Old Li said angrily and stormed out with his hands behind his back.


    No one paid any attention to his words.


    "Big brother, does Lin Yifan building a new house mean he’s marrying Xiao Cui soon?"


    Liu Laosan asked curiously as he held his wine ss.


    "Young people’s business is not mine to ask. They can do whatever they want. But remember, Lin Yifan told you to go to Xizhu’s ce, and when you do, you better do a good job. If you embarrass me, I won’t spare you. If you work hard, it won’t be long before you climb up like Xizhu."


    Boss Liu took a drag on his cigarette, squinting his eyes as he spoke.


    "Big brother, what do you mean?"


    Liu Laosan asked confusedly.


    "Didn’t you notice, Xizhu made it big this time as a major contractor, and the first thing he did was cozy up to Lin Yifan. Something’s definitely up with that."


    Boss Liu smiled knowingly as he took a long drag on his cigarette.


    This vige doesn’t only have Xu Fengxian as a sharp-witted person.
