Chapter 462 We are just curious!
Xia He glared at him, signaling him to stop talking nonsense. But Li Tong didn't seem to notice her dissatisfaction, and continued to tease: "He'er, if we get married, do you think your uncle will protect me like this?"
Xia He's face flushed instantly, and she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about! We haven't reached that stage yet."
At this moment, Mei Jinfeng walked into the yard. She heard the conversation between Li Tong and Xia He and walked over with a smile: "Hey, you two are eavesdropping here? Be careful not to be discovered."
Xia He and Li Tong were startled and stood up quickly. Mei Jinfeng looked at them and joked, "Why? Do you want to eavesdrop on our Xia family's secrets?"
Xia He smiled awkwardly: "Aunt Mei, we are just curious."
Mei Jinfeng shook her head, walked to the door, and said to the inside: "Liu Qing, stop messing around. Let the young people solve their own problems."
Xia Liuqing snorted in the room: "What do they know? We, the elders, have to take the lead in this matter."
Mei Jinfeng sighed, pushed the door open and walked in. Li Tong and Xia He looked at each other and followed quietly in.
Xia Liuqing was sitting on a chair, looking at them seriously. When he saw the two of them coming in, he said directly, "He'er is old enough to get married, you have to hurry up."
Xia He's face turned even redder, she lowered her head, not knowing how to answer. Li Tong smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself: This old man is really direct.
Mei Jinfeng advised, "Liu Qing, don't worry about it. Young people have their own ideas and plans."
Xia Liuqing didn't care: "What are you thinking? Getting married and having children soon is the right thing to do."
Xia He finally couldn't help but speak up: "Uncle, we will take care of this matter ourselves."
Xia Liuqing glared at her: "Just see what happens? I think you don't know the priorities!"
Xia He felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what he said, but she still held back her temper and didn't lose her temper. Li Tong saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle, don't be angry. We will think about it carefully."
Xia Liuqing snorted and said nothing more. Mei Jinfeng held Xia He's hand and comforted her softly, "He'er, don't mind what your uncle said. He's old, and some of his ideas may be different from ours."
Xia He nodded. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything else. She knew that although Xia Liuqing spoke directly, it was for her own good. However, she really didn't have too many thoughts and plans about getting married and having children.
"Grandpa, you're here!" Xia Liuqing greeted Li Tong warmly as soon as he saw him. Li Tong frowned, but still nodded in response.
He quickened his pace, wanting to enter the courtyard as soon as possible, so as not to hear Xia Liuqing's strange name again. Xia Liuqing seemed to see what he was thinking, and said no more, just following behind him, jogging all the way.
When Li Tong opened the door, he found Xia Liuqing standing by, boasting about something. He was startled, not expecting this guy to be here. Xia Liuqing was also startled by him, with an awkward smile on his face.
"Hey, Grandpa, why are you here suddenly?" Xia Liuqing said with an awkward smile.
Li Tong glanced at him unhappily, thinking that this guy was not usually so polite to others. He said calmly, "I'm here to find Xia He."
When Xia Liuqing heard that he was looking for Xia He, his smile became even brighter. He quickly made way for Li Tong to go in. Li Tong didn't hesitate and walked in.
At this moment, Xia He pushed the door open and walked in. She didn't seem surprised to see Li Tong here, and just greeted him lightly. Li Tong nodded in response.
Xia Liuqing watched the interaction between the two and felt a little confused. He quietly pulled Xia He aside and asked in a low voice: "Are you really together?"
Xia He nodded and said nothing more. Xia Liuqing frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. He felt that Li Tong was too mysterious and powerful, making him unpredictable. He didn't understand why Xia He chose to be with Li Tong.
However, these doubts did not last long. Soon, it was time for dinner. Xia Liuqing suggested that everyone eat together, and Li Tong did not refuse. He thought, since he was here, he might as well have a meal with the Xia family.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward. Xia Liuqing kept toasting Li Tong, trying to get closer to him. Although Li Tong was a little impatient, he still responded politely. Xia He sat aside, eating silently without saying much.
Li Tong knew that this visit did not achieve the effect he expected. Although the Xia family was respectful to him, there was always a sense of alienation. He sighed and thought that the Xia family was really unpredictable.
"Mr. Xia, please take a rest first. I'm here to chat with you." Li Tong said with a smile.
Xia Liuqing stopped what he was doing, turned around, and showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Oh? Xiao Li, what can I do for you?"
Jin Feng interrupted and said, "Mr. Xia, Li Tong is the new son-in-law, he won't have any bad intentions."
Li Tong smiled slightly, without saying much, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Xia, do you know where Gong Qing is now?"
Xia Liuqing frowned and sighed, "Gong Qing has been arrested, and I can't contact him now. Besides, Jin Feng and I have already retired, and we don't want to get involved in Quan Xing's affairs anymore."
After hearing this, Li Tong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Mr. Xia, are you really planning to retire like this? I don't believe it."
Xia Liuqing smiled bitterly: "Xiao Li, we are old, and our time has passed. Retirement is the best choice."
Li Tong shook his head and said seriously, "Mr. Xia, if you really want to retire, Yiren Firm will ensure that you and Senior Jinfeng will have a worry-free life. However, if you still have one foot in the world, it will be dangerous."
Xia Liuqing was shocked when he heard this. He understood that Li Tong was trying to warn him. He sighed and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Li. I really plan to retire this time. I have nothing else to ask for in the alien world."
Li Tong nodded, but there was still a trace of doubt on his face: "Old Xia, can you guarantee that Senior Jin Feng will not take the bait because of Wu Gensheng's news?"
Xia Liuqing was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I really can't guarantee this." Li Tong saw this and had an answer in his mind. He took a deep breath and said: "Old Xia, I guess that mysterious organization may have contacted you. You have an extraordinary status in Quanxing. Even if you retire, you will inevitably become their target."
Xia Liuqing's face changed. He didn't expect Li Tong to guess this. He sighed and said, "Xiao Li, you are right. I did receive their message, but I didn't respond."
Li Tong nodded, with a relieved smile on his face: "Mr. Xia, I am really relieved that you can do this. However, you must also be careful not to put yourself in danger."
That day, Li Tong found Xia Liuqing. He was a shrewd man and saw Xia Liuqing's character at a glance. He said tentatively: "Brother Xia, I see that you seem to be a little worried recently. Is it related to Grandma Jinfeng?"
Xia Liuqing didn't say anything, but just looked at him silently. Li Tong saw this and felt relieved, and continued: "I heard that some things can only be solved if they are related to Wu Gensheng."
Xia Liuqing was shocked when he heard the word "Wu Gensheng". Wu Gensheng, the man who had once crossed paths with them but mysteriously disappeared. He thought Wu Gensheng was no longer alive, but now he heard what Li Tong said, could it be...
"You... have you seen Wu Gensheng?" Xia Liuqing's voice trembled a little.
Li Tong nodded, a smug smile on his face: "Yes, I met him recently. He told me something that I thought you might be interested in."
Xia Liuqing was in a very complicated mood. He wanted to know the news about Wu Gensheng to comfort Grandma Jin Feng, but he was also worried that this news would bring more trouble. He was silent for a while, then said, "What do you want?"
Li Tong laughed: "Brother Xia, you are a smart man. I know you have your own principles, but sometimes, for the sake of more important people, we may need to make some compromises. As long as you stand on my side, I can tell you all the news about Wu Gensheng and even help you meet him."
Xia Liuqing fell into deep thought. He knew what kind of person Li Tong was, and he couldn't trust everything he said. But Wu Gensheng's news was too important to him, and he couldn't just give up.
"I...I need to think about it." Xia Liuqing finally said this.
Li Tong didn't force him, but just smiled and said, "No problem, Brother Xia. I'll give you time to think about it. But remember, opportunities don't always come."
Xia Liuqing looked at Li Tong's departing back, his heart full of contradictions and uneasiness. He didn't know whether his choice was correct, nor did he know what consequences this decision would bring to them.
As night fell, Xia Liuqing sat alone under the eaves, staring at the starry sky in a daze. He remembered the smile of Grandma Jinfeng and the days he spent with Wu Gensheng. Those memories cut his heart like a knife, making him unable to calm down.
At this time, Xia Liuqing came in. He looked cynical, but Li Tong knew that he was a capable man. Li Tong decided to cooperate with him and was willing to provide any information as long as Xia Liuqing was willing to help.
"Brother Xia, I know you have a close relationship with Jin Feng, but this time, I hope you can stand on my side." Li Tong said sincerely.
Xia Liuqing smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: "Brother Li, you know I never like being bound, but this time, maybe we can give it a try."
The two reached a preliminary consensus, but Xia Liuqing was still a little hesitant. He didn't mind accompanying Jin Feng to find out about Wu Gensheng, but he was afraid that the final result would put them all in trouble.
At the dinner table, Xia He warmly invited everyone to eat, and Jin Feng also showed a rare smile. However, when Li Tong tasted the dish, his face suddenly became ugly. This dish is even more bitter than Coptis chinensis! He looked at Xia Liuqing and found that the other party also had a bitter face. The two smiled bitterly at each other.
"Brother Xia, this...is this the dish made by Jin Feng and Xia He?" Li Tong swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.
Xia Liuqing shook his head helplessly: "I told you a long time ago that their cooking skills... well, let's not talk about it."
The two began to make eye contact, as if to say, "How are we going to get through this meal?"
After the meal, Li Tong began to re-examine his cooperation with Xia Liuqing. Although Xia Liuqing's behavior made him a little confused, Li Tong knew that their cooperation might bring some unexpected benefits.
"Brother Xia, I think we can talk about cooperation again." Li Tong said seriously.
Xia Liuqing nodded: "That's what I meant. Although Jin Feng and Xia He's cooking skills are a headache, our goals are the same."
The two began to discuss the details of the cooperation in depth, and Li Tong gradually understood Xia Liuqing's way of thinking. Although they have different personalities, they all have a common goal - to find Wu Gensheng and uncover the secrets behind him.
Li Tong sighed inwardly. Xia Liuqing was getting harder to please as he got older. He touched his nose and decided to eat less and chat more. So he cleared his throat and started chatting with Xia Liuqing.
Xia He was stunned watching from the side. When did these two become so close? She remembered that Li Tong and Xia Liuqing didn't say much to each other before.
As they were chatting, Xia Liuqing suddenly changed the subject and began to urge them to get married: "Li Tong, you and Xia He are already grown up, it's time to get married and have children. The incense of our Xia family must not be cut off."
When Li Tong heard this, he was happy. This old man started to worry about these things again. He smiled and said, "Grandpa Xia, don't worry about it. We are both still young. There is no rush."
Xia Liuqing was unhappy when he heard this and slammed the table: "What do you mean young? No matter how young you are, you have to get married and have children! Look at me, I'm old and I don't even have a grandchild to hold. Can you bear it?"
Li Tong shook his head helplessly. This old man was getting more and more outrageous. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard a loud "bang". It turned out that Xia Liuqing slapped the table, causing the dishes on the table to jump up.
Jin Feng watched from the side and shook her head. This old man was really getting more and more outrageous. She walked up and grabbed Xia Liuqing's ear: "Old man, what are you crazy about? Can you eat properly?"
Xia Liuqing was grimacing as he was being pulled, but he did not dare to resist, and could only beg for mercy: "My dear wife, please spare my life. I will never talk nonsense again."
Jin Feng then let go of his hand and glared at him: "If you do this again next time, I will kick you out!"
Li Tong was watching from the sidelines, laughing. Grandma Jinfeng was becoming more and more majestic. He looked at the food on the table and decided to eat less to avoid being affected.
Xia He was stunned watching from the side. She had never seen Grandma Jin Feng so angry before. She looked at Li Tong, then at Xia Liuqing, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. (End of this chapter)
