Chapter 61 Fishing Competition
"He said Yaoxia is still studying and he doesn't want him to be disturbed by anything."
"Moreover, he will personally resolve the Wu family's affairs, and at the same time warn me not to have the idea of marrying into his family while I am above my station." At the end, Li Zhong's voice trembled slightly, revealing the resentment and humiliation deep in his heart.
Li Zhong continued, "The Lan family is even more terrifying than the Wu family! Facing such a powerful force, how could I dare to say a word? I could only bow to them timidly, saying that I would never allow you to have too much contact with Yao Xia."
"The Gu family's situation was even more urgent at that time. Gu Haicheng's company went bankrupt and closed down in just a few months. He was hounded by creditors all day long and was forced into a desperate situation." Li Zhong frowned, recalling that difficult time.
"Then shocking news came out - the Gu couple both committed suicide, and their son fled abroad in a hurry to seek refuge." Speaking of this, Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"At that time, father was really scared. Thanks to your love for Yaoxia, otherwise our family would probably not escape the same tragic fate as the Gu family." Li Zhong looked at the other party with great emotion.
"Not long after, Wu Xiankui actually came to visit us in person. Fortunately, with the mediation of the Lan family, we were able to escape this disaster." When Li Zhong mentioned the Lan family, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"Wu Xiankui expressed his willingness to write off the matter. Only then did I feel relieved." Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing these words, Li Jinxi's heart was like a vast ocean, with her thoughts surging endlessly. She could never have imagined that when she fell in love with Lan Yaoxia, she unexpectedly saved the lives of her entire family!
At this moment, Li Zhong spoke again: "When you held the marriage certificate and spread it in front of me with a happy face, that feeling was real fear!" His voice trembled slightly, as if he was recalling that heart-pounding past.
"At that time, I had only one thought in my mind - the Lan family would never let this go. They would definitely launch a crazy revenge against our family."
"However, in the end, we still have to thank Yaoxia. If he hadn't tried his best to persuade the elders in the family to put aside their prejudices, I'm afraid our family would have been destroyed long ago..." When he said this, Li Zhong's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
When Lan Yaoxia finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom, she immediately saw Li Jinxi sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank look in her eyes.
Lan Yaoxia walked forward lightly and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Li Jinxi was immersed in her own thoughts, and was suddenly pulled back to reality by Lan Yaoxia's words. She shook her head slightly and replied casually: "Nothing, maybe I am a little tired after sitting in the car for too long."
Seeing this, Lan Yaoxia thought that she was indeed tired from the journey, and hurriedly urged her distressedly: "Then go take a shower quickly, take a good hot bath to relax your body, and lie down and rest for a while after taking a shower."
Li Jinxi murmured something in a low voice to show that she understood, then she slowly stood up and walked into the bathroom. After she finished bathing and came out, she tidied herself up a bit before climbing onto the bed.
At this time, Lan Yaoxia had already crawled into the warm bed and waited for a long time. After a while, Li Jinxi also crawled into the bed and hugged Lan Yaoxia tightly.
Lan Yaoxia felt Li Jinxi's closeness and asked considerately, "Are you exhausted?"
While waiting for Li Jinxi's response, time seemed to take an especially long time.
Finally, I didn't hear anything from her, and in disappointment, I reached out to turn off the dim light on the bedside table.
However, at this moment, Li Jinxi in the darkness suddenly hugged Lan Yaoxia tightly, followed by a low sob.
Lan Yaoxia was startled by this sudden action and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
As soon as the voice fell, Li Jinxi raised her head slightly, kissed Lan Yaoxia on the lips affectionately, and then whispered: "Thank you, husband."
Faced with such a strange reaction, Lan Yaoxia was a little confused for a moment, but she subconsciously turned around and hugged Li Jinxi tightly, and asked gently: "Why are you crying for no reason? Did you encounter something unhappy? Tell me quickly."
Li Jinxi did not answer his question directly, but just whispered: "Nothing, I just suddenly want to hug you..."
Lan Yaoxia smiled helplessly, stroked her hair lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, hug me, your husband is always here." After that, she hugged Li Jinxi tighter.
Just like that, the two of them hugged each other silently, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies, and fell asleep unknowingly...
Early the next morning, Li Jinxi jumped out of bed energetically as if she had been injected with new vitality, and quickly woke up Lan Yaoxia who was still sleeping soundly.
After a quick breakfast, the group came to the back garden.
I saw Li Zhong lying leisurely in the rocking chair, gently waving the folding fan in his hand.
Cheng Dizhang held a kettle and carefully watered the flowers in the garden. Li Jinxi and Lan Yaoxia saw this and happily ran to the small pond to sit down and start enjoying the fun of fishing.
Seeing the two people's concentration, Cheng Dizhang couldn't help but joked: "You two must not kill the koi fish your father raised!"
Li Zhong laughed and said that it was no big deal, at most he could just buy a few more when the time comes. Li Jinxi quickly assured that this would never happen.
Lan Yaoxia also smiled and echoed: "Dad, don't worry, if those koi fish want to bite the hook, I will put away the fishing rod immediately."
Li Zhong nodded with satisfaction and said to them, "Have fun. The most important thing is to have fun. Don't be restrained."
At this time, Cheng Dizhang deliberately put on an unhappy look and said, "Yaoxia, look, normally I am not even allowed to touch these fishes, but today when you two came, your dad actually said it's okay." There was a hint of blame in her tone, but her eyes were full of love and joy.
Li Zhong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Oh, these two kids have finally come back, we can't spoil their fun!" There was a hint of pampering and easy-going in his voice.
Seeing this, Cheng Dizhan shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry for saying too much, okay? It's all my fault for ruining everyone's fun." Although she said this, there was no real anger or dissatisfaction on her face.
At this time, Li Jinxi quickly interrupted and explained: "Mom, don't misunderstand what Dad meant." As she spoke, she did not forget to give her mother a comforting look.
