Long's expression was grim as he walked toward Zhao Tianlong. He had heard Zhao Tianlong's disrespectful words about Li Xiaotian from afar, and his heart was filled with rage.
The tall Long Yi, standing at 1.9 meters, slowly stood before Zhao Tianlong, looking down at him. Then, he spoke earnestly.
"I advise you not to have any ill intentions. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I will kill you!"
"You. You." Zhao Tianlong's face turned red. Long Yi's words made him gasp for breath in anger, but the opponent's robust physique instilled a hint of fear in his heart, preventing him from speaking in rebuttal.
"Scram! Don't let me see you again!" Long Yi sneered, then turned and left. This insignificant figure, if not for his relationship as Ye Qingmei's biological father, he would have slapped the man to death for the words he had just spoken.
"Let's go!" Zhao Tianlong gritted his teeth and said, pulling Fang Yuan away quickly.
He was truly furious this time!
As the third young master of the esteemed Zhao family, he was respected everywhere he went. People would bow and scrape before him, eager to curry favor.
But today, he was rejected by his daughter, then humiliated by Li Xiaotian, and finally warned by this person of unknown identity.
How could he swallow such humiliation?
"I hope you don't regret this!" Zhao Tianlong growled through gritted teeth, hatred flashing in his eyes. Fang Yuan, standing beside him, felt a surge of worry and resented Li Xiaotian's attitude earlier.
Even if he didn't want Ye Qingmei to join the Zhao family, he could have just spoken politely. Why resort to force?
Did he really not understand the consequences of angering Zhao Tianlong?
Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, realizing he could only try to resolve Zhao Tianlong's hatred and prevent him from troubling Ye Qingmei's family afterward.
In the villa, seeing Ye Qingmei crying continuously, Li Xiaotian felt immense heartache. His eyes flickered, and he then said to Ye Qingmei.
"Let's go to the capital! Let's meet the Zhao family!"
Li Xiaotian knew that Ye Qingmei had always yearned for her family, even though she had been abandoned for over twenty years. She had always looked forward to meeting her relatives.
Previously, Ye Qingmei's biological mother, Fang Yuan, had accepted her. Although her address had not changed, Li Xiaotian could see that Ye Qingmei was actually very happy.
If Zhao Tianlong had not arrived so abruptly, Ye Qingmei and Fang Yuan's relationship would likely have grown even stronger.
"The capital, the Zhao family." Ye Qingmei stopped crying and looked at Li Xiaotian with a lost expression.
Li Xiaotian embraced her and said in a gentle tone, "We'll go to the capital together and resolve everything. If you want to acknowledge them then, you can. If not, we'll return to Jiangnan and live our own lives."
Resolve everything, resolve Ye Qingmei's inner turmoil, and also resolve the grievances between himself and the Li family, Li Xiaotian added silently.
Whether it was the Zhao family or the Li family, he had to go to the capital. It was better to get it all done in one go this time.
"Thank you, Xiaotian." Ye Qingmei said, feeling fortunate to have such a caring and loving man.
The next day, Li Xiaotian's family set off for the capital.
At Jiangnan Airport, Li Xiaotian's family alighted from the car. As soon as they entered the airport lobby, cheers and screams filled their ears.
"Wu Fan! Wu Fan! I love you!!"
"Wu Fan, we will always support you, forever your most loyal fans!!"
"Wu Fan idol, can I have an autograph!! Ah!! So handsome!"
"Wu Fan, when is your next movie being released? We haven't seen your new movie in three months, we're so lonely."
Li Xiaotian's family looked in the direction of the sound. A large group of young girls were holding various signs, shouting excitedly.
They were vying to get to the front, pushing and shoving each other. If not for the security guards blocking them, they would have pounced long ago.
Everyone in the airport lobby was drawn to this group, watching with curiosity.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a handsome young man in a suit walking slowly amidst the group of girls, occasionally smiling and waving to the surrounding fans.
His demeanor appeared to be quite gentle.
He was Wu Fan, a rising star, the recipient of the Best Actor award for the year. He had become an A-list celebrity right after his debut. Almost all news about him made headlines the next day.
Moreover, Wu Fan wasn't just making movies. After becoming famous, he also ventured into singing and writing, and in every entertainment field, he easily reached the forefront!
"Dad, it's a celebrity!" Tiantian said with curiosity.
"Yes, it's a celebrity. Does Tiantian like being a celebrity?" Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
"The child is so young, why are you asking her this? What if it gives the child a bad impression and she goes down the wrong path in the future?" Ye Qingmei shot Li Xiaotian a look, then picked up Tiantian and continued.
"Let's go. No matter how big a star they are, it has nothing to do with our family."
Li Xiaotian smiled, turned, and followed. The world was big, but his wife's command was supreme.
The family soon reached the boarding gate, and by chance, they encountered the celebrity they had seen earlier, Wu Fan.
Wu Fan was accompanied by a beautiful female assistant, who was busy attending to him.
"A bunch of idiots, only knowing how to disturb my private life every day, yet claiming to love me. It's truly disgusting!"
As soon as he entered the passage, the previously gentle Wu Fan couldn't help but curse. They were using the VIP passage, where there were very few people, so Wu Fan didn't have to worry about his words being heard by fans outside.
"Wu Fan, mind your image. There are people here," the assistant behind Wu Fan reminded him softly, glancing at Li Xiaotian's family of three.
Wu Fan glanced at Li Xiaotian's group, his expression blank, and turned to walk forward.
Behind him, Ye Qingmei gave Li Xiaotian a look, her meaning clear: this was a celebrity. And he had just asked their daughter if she wanted to be a celebrity. Look at this. If their daughter turned out like this in the future, she would fight Li Xiaotian to the death.
Li Xiaotian shrugged helplessly, said nothing, and followed Ye Qingmei into the cabin.
As soon as they entered the cabin, Wu Fan's enraged roar reached their ears.
"How many times have I told you? When I, Wu Fan, fly, first class is for me alone. Who are these three extra people?"
"What kind of service is this from your Fly Airlines? Don't you believe I'll expose you on Weibo immediately?"
"Knowing I'd be on this flight, how dare you sell tickets to others? I think your company's stock is looking to crash, aren't you?"
On the plane, Wu Fan was shouting loudly. A flight attendant beside him kept apologizing. She couldn't help it either. Normally, for big stars like Wu Fan, their airline would provide some special treatment.
For example, for flights Wu Fan took, first-class tickets would be prohibited from being sold, and the entire first class would serve Wu Fan exclusively.
