"What if I return, what if I don't?"
Su Mei smiled, "You, you tend to overthink things. Actually, it doesn't matter whether you return or not. What's important is the blood relation. Some things cannot be changed. What's wrong with visiting the Li family?"
Hearing this, Li Se fell into thought.
He had indeed been overthinking. It was precisely because he was Li Shengjun's son that he didn't want to step into the Li family's gates.
But as Su Mei said, some things couldn't be changed. Even if he didn't want to step in, he was destined to be a member of the Li family.
"Mei Jie, you are absolutely right." Li Se nodded, agreeing with Su Mei.
"Moreover, haven't you always wanted to investigate the person who tried to kill you? Li Shengmin might not be the mastermind. Perhaps it's someone else. Attending this Li family banquet could also help you find out who else is hiding among the Li family," Su Mei continued with a smile.
"Mei Jie, you are indeed clever. It's a pity, if you weren't on your period, I would dote on you properly tonight." Li Se really wanted to push Su Mei down right now, but alas, he could only look but not touch.
"There will be plenty of opportunities." Su Mei smiled and tidied Li Se's clothes. "However, when you attend this banquet, you can't be flirtatious. If you genuinely fall for this fiancée, it's not impossible. After all, the marriage arranged by the Li family likely involves a significant family background. But there's a condition: you must be able to control yourself and not bring home every beautiful woman you see!"
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Li Se felt a bit amused and helpless.
The Li family banquet wasn't scheduled for this time but for the evening. Therefore, Li Se didn't go directly to the Li family but visited the Xiao family instead.
After all, Xiao Ye had stepped forward to help him at the Ye family's engagement banquet. Xiao Ye represented the Xiao family, and this kindness needed to be properly thanked.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Ye asked, surprised.
"Just to thank you for yesterday's matter." Li Se said with a smile.
Xiao Ye quickly pulled Li Se aside and whispered, "I advise you not to go in, or you'll be in trouble."
"Why?" Li Se seemed confused.
"You rascal..." Xiao Ye didn't know what to say. "Have you forgotten? You made my sister angry. She's been hiding in her room, looking unhappy, for the past few days. Now my grandfather and father have a very bad opinion of you."
Li Se slapped his forehead. "Damn it, how could I forget Xiao Feifei? But that was a while ago. Is that little girl still sulking?"
"Look at you, you're so heartless. I knew you'd forget." Xiao Ye said indignantly.
"Sigh..." Li Se sighed. "There are some things I can't help. I can only let Feifei figure it out herself."
"By the way, what exactly did you do to my sister to make her so unhappy?" Xiao Ye asked curiously.
Li Se had a strange expression on his face. Did this guy not see it? That was possible. This Xiao Ye only knew how to practice martial arts and didn't understand love and romance. He was just a martial artist.
"It's nothing, I just said some things that made your sister unhappy. In a while, I'll apologize to her..." Li Se shook his head, but before he could finish, Xiao Ye pulled him inside.
"What are you doing?" Li Se asked, confused. "Weren't you worried about your grandfather and father giving me trouble? Why are you pulling me in?"
"Of course, it's for you to apologize to my sister. You don't know, my sister has lost weight. You must go and apologize to her quickly!" Xiao Ye said straightforwardly.
A moment later, Li Se was brought to Xiao Feifei's room.
Knock, knock, knock...
Xiao Ye even knocked directly on the door.
"Not in the mood, don't bother me!" Xiao Feifei's voice came from inside.
"Feifei, Li Se is here, he specifically came to apologize to you!" Xiao Ye said loudly.
Li Se is here?
Xiao Zhanguo and Xiao Tian also heard this voice, as Xiao Ye had spoken very loudly. They couldn't help but come out and look this way.
"This kid, he's finally willing to come over!" Xiao Zhanguo snorted.
"Dad, I heard he even went to the Ye family to crash the wedding yesterday. I only have one daughter. Why couldn't she like anyone else but this kid?" Xiao Tian said helplessly.
Actually, Li Se was a good person, very outstanding. But he had a flaw: he was too much of a womanizer, with too many women around him.
Xiao Tian admired Li Se, but that didn't mean he was willing to entrust his daughter to Li Se. On the contrary, he was very unwilling.
After all, as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, could she go and become a concubine to someone else?
The Xiao family, unlike the Ye family and the Li family, had only one son for Xiao Zhanguo, and Xiao Tian had only two children, Xiao Ye and Xiao Feifei.
This meant that the Xiao family didn't have many people competing for the position of family head. The future of the Xiao family would either be in Xiao Ye's hands or Xiao Feifei's.
In the Xiao family, they cherished their precious Xiao Feifei immensely; she was their jewel in the crown.
But now their jewel was going to be a concubine for someone else. Let alone Xiao Tian, the father, even Xiao Zhanguo, the grandfather, was unhappy.
But what could they do if they were unhappy?
"Sigh!" Xiao Zhanguo sighed. "As you can see, in just a few days, Feifei has lost weight. She really likes this kid. In so many years, have you ever seen Feifei like any boy? This is probably her first relationship, and it turns out..."
He couldn't continue!
Xiao Zhanguo knew that his granddaughter had very high standards, extremely high standards. Many men couldn't catch her eye, but now that she finally liked someone, he was too much of a womanizer.
"This kid Li Se, his medical skills are good, he's also a ancient martial artist, very capable, and has the Li family background. He can be said to have inherited the strengths of his grandfather and father. But the problem is, no matter how good he is, he's still a womanizer," Xiao Tian said with frustration.
Xiao Zhanguo patted Xiao Tian's shoulder and said, "This is the era of the young. Let the young handle their own affairs. We shouldn't interfere. If Feifei is determined about this kid, why shouldn't we support her?"
"Dad, what you say is true, but..." Xiao Tian was still very frustrated.
Xiao Zhanguo waved his hand, "No 'buts.' Look how happy our jewel is when she sees this kid. For the past few days, this girl hasn't even paid attention to us. Just wait, she'll definitely be very enthusiastic later..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the room opened, and Xiao Feifei quickly appeared at the doorway.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ye didn't know what to say anymore. My precious daughter, can't you be a little more reserved?
