325: Chapter 314 Hundred Families 325: Chapter 314 Hundred Families Watching the women stay silent, Song Yun was even more certain of his thoughts.
“So it really is you, damn, who’s so amazing they dare to marry you?
I’ve got to see this for myself.”
“Does being quiet kill you or something?
I’ve heard it’s the Bai Family, but who knew there was even a Bai family in Sunan?
But judging from Grandpa’s expression, I bet they aren’t easy to deal with.” Li Yueyue complained.
She had been brought back by Mr.
Li’s secretary just tonight.
Then she was surrounded by people telling her how wonderful the Bai Family was.
Just as she was wondering why they were doing this, they showed their true colors, suggesting that if she married into the Bai Family, the Li Family’s position in Sunan would be as firm as iron.
Li Yueyue immediately objected.
She slammed the table and shouted that if they wanted to marry someone off, they could marry themselves off, not force her to someone she didn’t know.
Li Yueyue’s character clashed with Li Shishi’s because Li Shishi, being in the business world, had learned to be restrained and not show her true self in front of others.
But Yueyue was different; she had been a powder keg since childhood, the kind to ignite at the slightest spark.
Moreover, since elementary school, Li Yueyue had received scholarships every year, including preparing for her studies abroad on her own.
Besides giving birth to her, her parents hadn’t provided a cent for anything else; she had done it all herself.
The numerous aunts also knew about Li Yueyue’s temper, so they got Mr.
Li himself to come talk to her.
Mr.
Li’s stance was rather vague, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, so seeing this, Li Yueyue grabbed her purse and came back.
In any case, this was a society governed by law; if she didn’t want to marry that Mister Bai, she didn’t believe anyone could force her.
“What do you mean?” Song Yun had just asked this stupid question when he wanted to slap himself.
What did he mean, ‘what does Li Yueyue mean’?
Seeing the expressions of the women and Li Yueyue’s murderous look, he knew she didn’t want to get married yet.
The women were also baffled by Song Yun’s question.
Li Shishi cleared her throat and said, “Anyway, I don’t agree with my sister marrying into that Bai Family.
First, no one knows what the Bai Family is really about; what if they have ulterior motives?
Second, why would the Bais show up now of all times?
That’s suspicious.
Third, I don’t want to see Yueyue unhappy; a loveless marriage is like loose sand.”
“Well said,” Song Yun applauded.
“Shouldn’t we now discuss how to reject that guy from the Bai Family’s proposal?
With the night so dark and the winds so high, it would be a shame not to plan how we deal with them, given this perfect weather.”
“You’re right.
I don’t want Yueyue to leave our villa under dubious circumstances just because the Bai Family says they want to marry.
Just because they propose, do we have to agree?” Liu Ran pouted unhappily.
“This matter is quite manageable.” Even Xiao Qing, who generally just listened to others, spoke up.
“There’s no need for so much fuss, just storm up to their doorstep and beat that Bai Family kid until he’s too scared to propose.” That was Qingluan’s opinion, always so simple and direct.
“Stop arguing, let’s first hear what Yueyue has to say,” Li Shishi said as she looked at her sister.
“I think Sister Qingluan’s suggestion is great,” Li Yueyue said with a mischievous smile.
“Simple doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not a good approach.”
“Yueyue really gets me,” Qingluan said proudly.
“That settles it, then.
Song Yun, send your boys to find the Bai Family, and I’ll pay them a personal visit.”
“Is that decided?” Song Yun asked, surprised.
Though the simplest method might be the best, this was still a bit rash.
He had never even heard of the Bai Family, who were sure to be a well-established clan with deep roots.
Could barging in like this be a tad inappropriate?
“What do you think?” Qingluan said, pushing Song Yun, dissatisfied.
“Are you a man or not?
If you are then come with me.
If not, just go to sleep.”
Damn, now he was being called less than a man.
This was too much.
It seemed in Qingluan’s eyes, she was the real man, and he was some delicate dame needing coddling.
Dammit!
His pride couldn’t take this.
“Cut the noise, I’ll call Grandpa to find out what the Bai Family is really about.
That way we’ll know how to proceed,” Song Yun spoke in a serious tone.
The old man never used those trendy Apple or Samsung devices, the only way to contact Mr.
Li was his study’s old landline.
With a stroke of luck, Song Yun called the old man; it was already past nine, nearly ten—Grandpa was probably asleep.
“Xiao Yun, what’s up?
Calling Grandpa this late, what’s the matter?”
Hearing Mr.
Li’s voice, Song Yun smiled and said, “Just checking in to see how you’ve been lately, if you’ve come across any trouble.
I am your grandson, after all—I’d like to lend a hand.”
“Hahaha, you sly kid, you never call me unless you’re in trouble, and here you are calling me in the middle of the night.
Nevermind, tell Grandpa what’s troubling you.” Even though Song Yun was asking for a favor, Mr.
Li was still quite happy.
As an elder, he naturally worried about his descendants.
Particularly a prestigious family like the Song Family, which placed great emphasis on heritage and advancement, Mr.
Li never cared for the side branches, only cherishing those from the main line.
Besides, with the Song Family’s thinning numbers, aside from Song Ergou who was drifting all over overseas, there was only Song Yun left in Sunan.
Mr.
Li wished he could take care of everything for Song Yun and then have him come to Yanjing to join him.
“Heh heh, Grandpa always understands me,” Song Yun chuckled.
“Have you ever heard of a Bai Family in Sunan?”
“The Bai Family of Sunan?” Mr.
Li pondered for a moment.
“That does ring a bell.
They can be considered an old clan, but they aren’t direct descendants—their background is a fusion of many families, originally known as the ‘Hundred Families.'”
“Later, there was someone named Bai who brought the clan to its peak, and people got used to calling them the Bai Family.
You could say they’re a clan with a rich history, having integrated the strengths of a hundred families; they were quite influential back in the day.
Have you been dealing with them?”
“Sort of…” Song Yun said in a low voice.
“I wonder if demolishing their mountain gate and beating up their people might cause any problems?”
