Chapter 1226: I’ll Be Filial to Him

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: I’ll Be Filial to Him

"That kind of weak and incompetent person, the elders definitely wouldn’t agree with," Zhao Dingli said. "I’m not saying someone needs to achieve greatness, but at the very least they should remain calm in the face of challenges, be strong, and not just blindly rely on others."

"Like you, like Ye Fei, you’re both very independent girls. Even without me and Gu Shen, you excel in your own fields."

"The old lady likes Ye Fei, not because of Xiao Mo, but because of Ye Fei herself. Even if there were no Xiao Mo, the old lady would still be fond of Ye Fei. She doesn’t have a good family background, in fact, her family even holds her back."

"You could say that Ye Fei’s living environment from childhood was quite difficult. But even so, she didn’t change her temperament. Even when she was schemed against later on during those difficult times, she still overcame it. A young girl, with a child in tow, managed to carve out a career for herself."

"This kind of strength, no matter how adverse the circumstances, allows her to turn things around," Zhao Dingli said. "This is what the elders value the most."

"You’re like that too," Zhao Dingli continued. "Your family is happy, so you’re cheerful, outgoing, and always ready to help others. You’re not petty, and you have a broad mind. These are influences from your original family and the excellent foundation laid by your parents."

"Moreover, at such a young age, you’ve competed for a managerial position, and even now the workplace still holds many inequalities for women. It’s quite rare for you to break through in such an environment," Zhao Dingli smiled and said.

"The elders never look at the family background, whether there’s money, whether it’s a happy family or a fallen one. They just look at the individual."

"To be honest, among the people I know in the circle, everyone has a good family background. Indeed, the old lady used to often think about introducing girlfriends for me and Gu Shen. But actually, there were very few to choose from."

"People with ability mostly already have boyfriends. The old lady doesn’t like the single ones. There were so few who were capable, single, and liked by the old lady. When we finally found some, we didn’t cooperate."

"You’re not afraid of telling me about your past love life now?" Li Xiaoyun squinted dangerously.

"What love life?" Zhao Dingli’s survival instinct kicked in, "These were all introductions that the old lady couldn’t succeed with. I hardly met them."

"But you did meet them?" Li Xiaoyun seized on the point.

"It’s unavoidable, isn’t it? The old lady had many tricks, indeed I got tricked into a few meals, met a few people, but I forgot how many, and I don’t even remember their faces or names. It was just meeting them once with no further contact."

"Of course, I mostly refused for various reasons," Zhao Dingli hastily explained that he had refused proactively. "After a few times, the old lady got tired."

Plus, the older he got, the fewer single women there were of his age.

"So really, there’s no love life," Zhao Dingli said.

"I know, I was just saying," Li Xiaoyun laughed and said.

Ye Fei had already told her everything.

Even if Ye Fei didn’t know much about Zhao Dingli, she knew a lot about Zhao Gushen.

What Ye Fei didn’t know, she asked Zhao Gushen and understood it all.

The two of them talked all the way and arrived at the old house.

The third elder, because he had nothing to do, came to the old house after lunch and stayed all afternoon.

He was overjoyed with Zhao Dingli quickly getting married, from bringing a girlfriend to meet the family, not giving the third elder a chance to wait.

This made the third elder very happy.

The whole afternoon, he couldn’t stop chatting with the second elder.

Ye Fei arrived early too.

She had an early class that afternoon, so she took Xiao Qiu’s car to the Kindergarten to pick up the little one and came to the old house together.

Zhao Gushen came over by himself after work.

Although Zhao Guoxian was also at Changping Academy, he wasn’t as lucky as Ye Fei.

When Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun arrived, the little one was playing with the three elderly people at home.

Of course, the little one felt like he was amusing them, feeling very filial.

But the three elders felt they were the ones playing with the little one, dragging their old bones, it wasn’t easy.

This time Li Xiaoyun entered the house with a different status.

She went from being Zhao Dingli’s girlfriend to his wife.

It felt like she had truly become part of the family, but there was still some unfamiliarity.

"Hey, Uncle Four, Aunt Four is here?" Ye Fei teased when she saw them.

The little one cleverly followed, "Grandpa Four, Grandma Four!"

Being called Aunt Four by a friend and Grandma Four by a godson.

With Ye Fei and the little one’s jokes, any discomfort that Li Xiaoyun felt disappeared, replaced by amused helplessness.

"You two!" Li Xiaoyun said, amused and helpless.

"During New Year’s, can I get an allowance red envelope from you?" Ye Fei laughed and said.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

She forgot about that part.

With an increase in seniority, it costs money.

"No worries, I’ve got it covered," Zhao Dingli quickly said, "I’ll handle Ye Fei’s New Year’s money."

"Double portions," Ye Fei reminded. "One from Xiaoyun and one from you can’t be missed."

The little one raised his head and looked at Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun.

Anyway, Li Xiaoyun always gave him New Year’s money.

Even with the increase in seniority, it made no difference to him, his New Year’s money wouldn’t increase.

However, the little one slowly let his gaze fall on Li Xiaoyun’s belly.

"If Grandpa Four and Grandma Four have a child, he’d be my uncle?" The little one blinked, filled with expectation.

Li Xiaoyun instinctively touched her belly.

She and Zhao Dingli hadn’t yet...

Then she heard the little one say, "Will Uncle also have to give a nephew New Year’s money?"

"..." Zhao Dingli twitched his lips and asked, "But your uncle just got born, can’t speak, how can he give you New Year’s money?"

"Grandpa Four, you should give it first, I’ll keep track of it. When my uncle grows up and understands, speaks, I’ll tell him how much New Year’s money he gave me. I’ll honor him!"

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Having become the little one’s Grandma Four, she found this little one really hard to handle sometimes.

"By the way, quickly change your greeting," Ye Fei quickly pulled Li Xiaoyun into the living room.

To help Li Xiaoyun relax, she had specifically waited with the little one at the entrance, joking with her for a bit.

But the elders were still waiting in the living room.

Sure enough, with Ye Fei and the little one’s banter, Li Xiaoyun was able to comfortably call out now: "Dad."

The third elder was so happy he almost stood up from his wheelchair.
