Chapter 1108 What are you standing there for? Chase after them!
Grandpa Xu was taken aback. "That girl! She doesn't look like she's from the South, does she?"
Xu Feng laughed, thinking of Linghua's tall figure, "No, she's from the Northeast. After she grew up, she systematically studied music in Shenzhen and then developed her career there."
Mr. Xu thought for a moment, "Being able to sing at a wedding must mean having a very good relationship with the Liu family."
Xu Feng nodded, "They have a very good relationship. Especially with Liu Meilan, they're so close, like sisters."
After a moment's thought, Old Master Xu said, "With the Liu family's protection, development in Shenzhen should go smoothly, and no one will make things difficult for us."
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it's definitely worth considering."
Xu Feng whispered, "Grandpa, Dad, don't be so optimistic. I think it's good, but... but they might not like me!"
Xu Feng touched his own face. He believed that his talent was no less than Liu Yibang's, but in terms of looks? He certainly couldn't compare.
It can be said that all members of the Liu family are extremely good-looking!
Professor Xie is elegant and beautiful, bearing a striking resemblance to her eldest sister. Aunt Xie is also very good-looking. Her husband was a handsome young man back then; otherwise, Aunt Xie wouldn't have taken a liking to him.
If the parents are good-looking, the children are bound to be good-looking too.
Therefore, Linghua is beautiful, tall, and has a bold and unrestrained aura typical of northerners.
"Huh?" Grandpa Xu and Mr. Xu were both taken aback. "Then what are you waiting for? Go after them! How will they see you if you don't chase after them?"
"What if we can't catch up?" Xu Feng asked, a little embarrassed.
Grandpa Xu rolled his eyes. "She wasn't your boyfriend to begin with. If you can't win her over, you're not at a loss. If you can, you've gained something, haven't you?"
Mr. Xu thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, are we not going to have this arranged marriage?"
Old Master Xu shook his head. "Our Xu family has enough connections right now. Although a marriage alliance can increase connections and strength in the short term, the chances of problems arising are also high!"
"I was thinking about this when Xu Feng went to the Liu family's place for the wedding. Given the Liu family's status, they could easily find someone better; it would be so easy to find someone of equal social standing. So why didn't they?"
Xu Feng also seemed thoughtful. "Grandpa, I've inquired. Liu Yibang's eldest sister-in-law is a Western medicine doctor in the military region, and she basically maintains the most basic contact with her family. His second sister-in-law is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the Sifang Island Military Region Hospital. Her family only has one renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Grandpa. Liu Yibang's wife is a teacher, and her family is mostly made up of teachers. Simple and clean."
Grandpa Xu remarked with a sigh, "Did you notice?"
Mr. Xu and Xu Feng were both taken aback. "Grandpa, please give us your guidance."
Grandpa Xu smiled wryly, "The Liu family is confident enough that they don't need a marriage alliance. As long as the daughter-in-law's family is clean and simple, they won't be hindered or affected. In this way, they can move forward without fear."
Mr. Xu was silent for a while before saying, "My father is right. Only those who are confident and capable enough will do such a thing. One's own abilities can make up for shortcomings, and there are even more advantages."
Grandpa Xu nodded and looked at his grandson, "Xu Feng, the political assets left by your father, your uncle, your aunt and uncle are enough for you. Therefore, we don't need a marriage alliance, but we do need you to walk the right path and walk steadily."
Xu Feng understood: both his second uncle's and aunt's families had only daughters. His aunt's daughter, Wenwen, was completely unsuitable for politics, so her family arranged for her to work in the publishing industry.
As for my second uncle's younger sister, she's in high school now, and it seems her grades aren't very good. Who knows what will happen in the future?
Although my second uncle can groom my son-in-law for the future, in terms of career advancement, how can a son-in-law be as reliable as a nephew?
Xu Feng was certain that as a nephew, he was getting better and better, and could better protect his cousin. But the son-in-law was different. When his father-in-law was alive, he was relatively well-behaved. But once his father-in-law was gone, he started to think about how he had "compromised" back then. As for the promotion he received back then, he had long forgotten it and even felt humiliated, as if he had sold himself into servitude.
Therefore, his grandfather, father, second uncle, aunt and uncle had long since reached a consensus to raise him well.
Only when he is well can his younger sister at home be well. As for the son-in-law, he will be carefully selected, but he will definitely not be given special consideration.
"Grandpa, I understand," Xu Feng said with a smile. "I will be down-to-earth and take things one step at a time."
Looking through the window, Mr. Xu saw Grandpa Fu leading his grandson, granddaughter-in-law, and children into the house, and his eyes showed envy. "The Fu family really knows how to choose in-laws. They picked such a good family as the Liu family."
Xu Feng shook his head. "Dad, you just saw how good Fu Chen was to Liu Meilan. You know they got together because they liked each other. If you ask me, in our area, Fu Chen isn't much of a talker, but he's a shrewd guy."
When Grandpa Xu mentioned Fu Chen, his face was full of praise. "He is the most shrewd of all. Although the Fu family also has influence in the military, it is mainly in the army, and there are already two cousins in the family. There is even less for him. His father is in politics, and he has two older brothers. There is not much for him either."
"This kid, he was able to make the tough decision to go to military academy and even develop his career in the navy. That's something not just anyone can do. The key is that he not only did it, but he did it well. Most importantly, he also found himself a good wife and a good in-law family. If he weren't too old, he could probably have reached the rank of deputy division commander."
Old Master Xu's words left both Xu Feng and Mr. Xu silent.
Mr. Xu considered for a moment, "Shall we go sit down after the Fu family finishes their meal?"
"Alright!" Old Master Xu laughed. "Take my tea with you, and Xu Feng, come along too. Dealing with smart people can make you smarter too."
Xu Feng smiled, "I understand, Grandpa. Brother Fu Chen is my role model."
Grandpa Xu's eyes softened with kindness as he patted his grandson's shoulder. "Actually, you're very good too. Learn from others, but be yourself. Your father, your second uncle, your aunt, and I are all your support."
Xu Feng nodded, "Understood, Grandpa."
In fact, ever since those 500 tons of gold, many people have been keeping an eye on the Fu family, or more precisely, on Liu Meilan and Fu Chen.
Many people were curious when they learned they were coming back today. People around were looking down from upstairs.
The Qian family was the same.
Although Qian Kun's grandfather and father could not openly support their grandson Qian Kun, they were very concerned about his development on Sanlian Island.
Ever since those 500 tons of gold, Old Master Qian even wondered if, back then, if Qian Kun had been able to snatch Liu Meilan away in the same way he snatched Li Anna, wouldn't such a good in-law family like the Liu family have become the Qian family?
This played a crucial role in the expansion of the Qian family's power.
However, Liu Meilan is not Li Anna, so Qian Kun not only failed, but his marriage to the Dong family was almost ruined by Li Anna, which severely damaged the Qian family, and they have not fully recovered to this day.
