A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 346 The Golden Son-in-Law

Mrs. Li chuckled and said, "Old Li, you're right, Xiao Wei's relationship with him is definitely more than just ordinary!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hongren retorted, "Alright, let's not interfere in this matter. Let them develop on their own! We'll see if Xiao Wei has the good fortune to do so."

Mrs. Li chuckled and said, "Alright, we won't interfere. You two chat, I'll go help with the dishes. By the way, Bingbing, when your sister and the others come back, you should have a good talk with Bufan. It will be very beneficial for your future."

Old Jia nodded and said, "That's right, Li Bing. You're currently in the prime of your career. Although you're only doing secretarial work, the people and things you encounter are extraordinary. Remember, when you do things, it's not just for your own benefit. Don't just bury yourself in your work; make sure your superiors know what you've accomplished and that everything you do satisfies them. Only then can you stand out from the crowd and achieve success. This is a rare opportunity for you. If Xiao Wei and you end up together, it will undoubtedly be a great chance. Even if you don't, you can still take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to talk to him. However, when you chat, absolutely do not discuss political matters to avoid offending him. If you must discuss it, it's best to have Xiao Wei bring it up."

Upon hearing this, Li Bing nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and then parted ways.

Chao Bufan accompanied the ladies shopping for a while, and then accompanied Li Wei home. It was already 10:30 p.m. when they got home. Li Wei's parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law were still awake, sitting in the living room watching TV and chatting.

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother and sister-in-law, why aren't you asleep yet?" Li Wei asked as soon as he entered the door, seeing that his family was still awake.

Upon seeing their daughter finally return, Li Hongren and his wife were overjoyed. Li's mother smiled and said, "You're back."

Chao Bufan greeted them, "Uncle and Aunt, Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law."

Li's mother quickly got up and chuckled, "Hey, Bufan, sit down, I'll go pour some tea."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "No need, Auntie. I just had a drink outside, so I'm not thirsty."

"Hehe, it's okay, you can always get thirsty again. Sit down."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

After sitting down, Li Hongren glanced at Chao Bufan, then at his daughter, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wei, Dad has something I want to ask you. What exactly is going on between you and that Gu Qinghua?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei asked in surprise, "Dad, what's going on? Gu Qinghua and I are just classmates, nothing more. Besides, I've been out of school for over a year and have never contacted him."

"Gu Qinghua has come to our house a few times before. I originally wanted to give him your phone number, but I didn't because I didn't want to. He came again yesterday, so I told him you would be back today."

"Dad, there's nothing between Gu Qinghua and me. I already have a boyfriend!"

Li Hongren nodded and said, "Bufan is your boyfriend, right?"

Li Wei nodded and smiled, "Yes! Bufan is my boyfriend and my man."

Li Hongren nodded and smiled. Just then, his mother brought over two glasses of water. Upon hearing this, she was overjoyed and chuckled, "You silly girl, you already have a boyfriend and didn't even tell us! We've raised you for nothing. Hehe, um... Bufan, don't blame your mother for being nosy! When are you two planning to get married?"

In her view, now that the relationship between her daughter and Chao Bufan has been confirmed, she should go with the flow and let them get married as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

It's clear how eager Li's mother was to have a daughter-in-law; she wished she could hold the wedding for them the very next day.

Chao Bufan smiled slightly, but Li Wei blushed and said reproachfully, "Mom, what are you saying? Bufan and I have only known each other for a few months, marriage is a long way off!"

Li's mother said, "You silly girl, I was asking about Bufan, not you. Besides, your father and I are both sixty years old, and we're both thinking about having a nephew soon!"

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm afraid my marriage to Li Wei won't happen so soon, at least not this year."

Upon hearing this, Li's mother chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. If it doesn't work this year, then it will work next year."

Seeing that his wife was eager to marry off their daughter as soon as possible, Li Hongren shook his head and smiled, saying, "Old woman, why are you worrying about our children's affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Li's mother scolded, "What do you mean I'm worrying unnecessarily? Don't you want to hold your nephew soon?"

Li Hongren shook his head and smiled again, saying, "Alright, alright, let's hear what Bufan has to say first!"

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I haven't thought about marriage yet, because I haven't been in charge of the Tang Group for very long, and there are still many things waiting for me to do in the company."

Li Hongren nodded and said, "I understand. After all, I know a little about the Tang Group. You've just taken over as chairman, so you must be very busy."

Li Wei said, "Dad, you don't know this, do you? Bu Fan is the one who calls the shots in the entire Tang Group. He's the biggest shareholder now!"

Li's mother chuckled and said, "Oh! Bufan, you must take care of your health! Don't overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, "Yes, I know."

Fearing his wife would cause trouble, Li Hongren smiled and said, "Old woman, go and tidy up the room!"

Li's mother quickly got up and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go right now. Xiao Wan, come with me to tidy up the room."

Xiao Wan nodded and then got up to follow Li's mother upstairs.

Li's mother and daughter-in-law went upstairs to tidy up the room. Li Bing knew that his father had deliberately sent his mother away. However, ever since he learned Chao Bufan's true identity, he seemed very timid when facing Chao Bufan, afraid to say anything, and afraid of saying something wrong.

Chao Bufan sat for only a short while before standing up and saying, "Uncle, I have other things to do, so I won't be staying here tonight."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongren glanced at the wall clock and said, "Bufan, it's already past eleven o'clock, what could possibly be wrong? Just stay here tonight!"

Li Wei said, "Dad, Bufan really has something to do!"

Seeing that his daughter had said this, Li Hongren didn't know what else to say, so he could only say, "Bufan, if you have anything to do, then it's up to you. Be careful."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will."
