51: Chapter 51 Winning Over the Father-in-Law

After cultivating for the whole night, Xiao Yuchen finally stabilized his cultivation base. After having breakfast with his sister, they drove the presidential Bentley to school together.

Because he had to pick up Li Yiran for school, Xiao Yuchen did not have anyone from the Black Dragon Society drive them today. Moreover, Xiao Yuchen also needed to find Ma Xiaolu at school.

Arriving at Villa No. 5 in Yushui Villa, Li Yiran was waiting there, and Li Feng was with her.

"Xiao Chen, your uncle was in the wrong regarding previous matters. I hope that, for the sake of Yiran's Face, you won't hold it against me. I guarantee that I will never try to separate you two again."

Seeing that Li Feng was genuinely repentant, Xiao Yuchen didn't dwell on it. After all, this was his future father-in-law, and he couldn't really get angry.

"You are too kind. In the future, I will do my best to help with the Li Family's matters. As long as I am here, you don't need to rely on other families. Everyone only cares about benefits; who would truly help you?" Xiao Yuchen's tone was significantly softer compared to before.

"Good, good. I believe Xiao Chen has the ability. Once Yuyan graduates from college, I will hand over the Shengkai Group to her. I am old, and the group's affairs should be left to the young." After realizing his serious mistake, this thought occurred to Li Feng.

"If Yiran is willing, I naturally won't say anything, but I don't want Yiran to be that tired. As for the Shengkai Group, you should continue managing it for now; age is not an issue." Saying this, Xiao Yuchen handed a jade bottle to Li Feng.

"There are two low-grade youth-preserving pills in here. You and Auntie should each take one."

Counting the youth-preserving pills previously gifted by the System, Xiao Yuchen originally had five low-grade youth-preserving pills. He had given one to Zhou Tiancheng's wife, Julie, one to Zhou Yuyan, and one was auctioned off by the Zheng Family. These were the last two.

However, after challenging Eighth Elder Yao Qing last time, the System had gifted him three mid-grade beauty pills, so he couldn't be stingy. After all, these were his future parents-in-law.

"Two youth-preserving pills? For us?"

Li Feng couldn't believe his ears. Last time, the Zheng Family spent 2.5 billion to buy one youth-preserving pill, yet now Xiao Yuchen was giving him two at once. That was worth 5 billion, and more importantly, it was priceless.

"Correct. After taking the youth-preserving pill, you will have the energy to continue managing the company."

Receiving confirmation again, Li Feng was as happy as a child. Previously, he had wanted a youth-preserving pill, but his Li Family didn't have that much liquid capital, so he had to give up.

"Xiao Chen, words cannot express my gratitude. However, it is too troublesome for you to come here to pick up Yiran every day. Just let Yiran move in with you. You two can go directly there after school today, and I will have Yiran's things sent over tonight."

Hearing this from Li Feng, Xiao Yuchen's eyes lit up. Indeed, the idea of winning over his father-in-law was correct; just two youth-preserving pills, and it was settled.

"Father, what are you saying? You were bought off with just two youth-preserving pills? How could you sell out your daughter like that?" Li Yiran feigned anger.

"Haha, how about you give me three youth-preserving pills, and I'll let you stay at home. Your father is a businessman, after all; I can't be at a loss. Alright, you should go to school. It's settled."

Previously, when her father and Xiao Yuchen were enemies, Li Yiran had been worried, not knowing how to ease the relationship between the two. Now she realized she had been overthinking.

Glaring at the two of them, Li Yiran got into the car.

"Sister-in-law, we can live together from now on. But in the future, you and my brother must keep it down at night; please consider the feelings of this single dog." Xiao Yuxin covered her mouth and giggled.

"Yuxin, what are you thinking about in that little head of yours? We won't... we won't do those things!" Li Yiran said, blushing.

"Haha, that won't be up to you."

...

Just like that, Xiao Yuchen easily took Li Yiran away from Yushui Villa using only two youth-preserving pills.

Of course, Li Feng also had his own thoughts. Once he and Liu Yueru took the youth-preserving pills, the two of them would start a new life of happiness; having his daughter around would be somewhat inconvenient.

After the three of them arrived at school, Xiao Yuchen did not follow Li Yiran back to the classroom. Instead, he went to Xiao Yuxin's class and had Xiao Yuxin call Ma Xiaolu out.

"Senior Yuchen, is there something you need me for?" Upon seeing Xiao Yuchen, Ma Xiaolu was the first to ask.

"Yuxin told me about your situation. I have already resolved the issue with the loan sharks. They won't come looking for you again, and you can keep the money from selling your house."

Although Li Xin hadn't sent him word yet, such a trivial matter was nothing to Li Xin. He believed Li Xin could resolve it perfectly.

"Does that mean I don't even have to repay the 400,000 principal?" Ma Xiaolu asked in surprise.

"No need. I have already repaid the money for you. Is your father still in the hospital? I know a thing or two about Medical Skills; shall I take a look at your father?" Xiao Yuchen suggested.

"My father is still in the hospital, but he already knows that he has terminal liver cancer and is beyond cure. In order not to drag us down, he has refused all treatment and insists on being discharged to go home.

It's just... just to pay for my father's medical treatment, my mother and I have already sold the house. My father doesn't know about this yet; if he finds out, he will definitely be angry."

These past few days, Ma Xiaolu had no heart for studying. She wanted to drop out and work to lighten the burden on her Family, but her mother refused to agree, saying that Ma Xiaolu was the Family's only hope, after all, she was a good student.

"Rest assured, I will handle the matter of the house. Take me to the hospital first; perhaps I can save your father."

"Senior Yuchen, thank you, but you have already helped me a lot. I cannot... I cannot trouble you any further. We... we can't afford to pay you back."

Ma Xiaolu knew that Xiao Yuchen was wealthy, but she could not accept Xiao Yuchen's kindness without a reason.

"Alright, we can talk about everything else after I save your uncle. Take me to the hospital immediately."

Xiao Yuchen didn't want to waste time here. Ignoring Ma Xiaolu's objections, he went with her to the People's Hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, led by Ma Xiaolu, the two reached the entrance of the hospital room. However, before they could enter, they heard the sounds of a man and a woman arguing.

"Xiao Wei, you are foolish. My illness cannot be cured at all. Why did you sell the house? After selling the house, where will you live in the future?" The man blamed the woman.

"The children's father, as long as you are here, anywhere is home. If you are gone, the home is gone too. What difference does it make whether we sell the house or not?

Besides, for the sake of saving you, our daughter borrowed from loan sharks. If we don't sell the house, what will we use to pay back the money? Those people are very vicious; if we don't pay them back, they won't let us off." The woman named Xiao Wei said, weeping.

"This... sigh, I am already a dying man; why must you do this?" The man sighed, but the matter was already irreversible, and he was helpless.

Just as the two were talking, Ma Xiaolu walked in with Xiao Yuchen.

"Dad, don't argue with Mom. We don't regret doing that. Even if we had to choose again, we would still do it." Ma Xiaolu also stated her position.

Seeing their daughter return with a boy, Ma Xiaolu's parents were visibly stunned.

"Xiaolu, who is this classmate?" Ma Xiaolu's mother asked.

"Mom, this is my senior, Xiao Yuchen. Senior Yuchen has already resolved the issue with the loan sharks, so you don't need to worry."
