Because of a phone call from Qin Yanyang, the Qin family became busy.
Qin Zhen brought his wife and child back to his parents’ house.
Qin Zhengfang and Duanmu Ling had already had dinner, but hearing from Qin Zhen that Qin Yanyang was bringing Yang Fei home and that they hadn’t eaten, they got busy in the kitchen again.
At this time of day, the roads in Imperial City were very congested. By the time Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei got home, the family had already prepared a fairly lavish dinner.
"Yang Fei, this is my dad, Mr. Qin Zhengfang. You’ve already met my mom and brother, so I won’t introduce them again. This is my sister-in-law, Wang Ying, and my nephew, Qin Zhao."
After entering the house, Qin Yanyang introduced Yang Fei to the family members and then said to everyone, "Everyone, this is Yang Fei, my husband."
Duanmu Ling and Qin Zhen had both met Yang Fei before and each had a strong impression of him.
Although they didn’t like him at first, after Yang Fei killed Yan Zhongshan with a single move on the Life and Death Platform of the Binhai Martial Alliance, proving his strength, the Qin family saw him in a new light.
Not long after, Yang Fei even cured Zhu Tianshou who had been paralyzed for many years, and Zhu Tianshou had also stepped into the Innate Realm.
With this connection, everyone in the Qin family saw Yang Fei differently.
Especially Duanmu Ling, who felt that the husband her daughter had chosen didn’t seem so bad after all.
But Qin Zhengfang always held his own opinion that, no matter how impressive Yang Fei’s personal abilities might be, he wasn’t from a great family and was far inferior compared to the Zhang Family.
Most importantly, Qin Zhengfang believed that balance was critical, that once the two families were united by marriage, there would be no division or strife in the martial world of Divine Continent Country.
"Hello, father-in-law, mother-in-law, big uncle, sister-in-law, little nephew!" Yang Fei greeted each person one by one as Qin Yanyang introduced her family, giving a nod and saying hello.
Qin Zhengfang’s mouth twitched.
He’s already calling me father-in-law?
I haven’t agreed yet!
Duanmu Ling also felt it strange to be called mother-in-law, but she just smiled, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Qin Zhen humphed silently, thinking the lad shouldn’t call him big uncle just yet as nothing was set in stone.
Wang Ying simply smiled a little and nodded in greeting.
"Auntie, is he my little uncle?" Qin Zhao, the four- or five-year-old boy, asked Qin Yanyang curiously, blinking his big eyes.
Qin Yanyang laughed and said, "Yes, he is your little uncle."
"Hello, little uncle." Qin Zhao immediately called out to Yang Fei, his pride at being polite clear on his face, causing Qin Zhengfang and Qin Zhen to be speechless.
Such a smart-ass kid!
"Aren’t you two still hungry? Let’s eat before we talk," Duanmu Ling said with a smile, leading them to the dining room.
Originally, she was very fond of Zhang Yunqing, but in recent times, with Yang Fei’s good performance and her daughter’s insistence, her opinion of Yang Fei had gradually changed.
The fact that her daughter had brought him home showed that she had made up her mind. Her daughter was like her grandfather, very headstrong since childhood, and once she decided something, it was hard to change.
Before, Duanmu Ling thought Qin Yanyang was just finding a shield to put on a show, but now it seemed that her daughter was serious. Knowing her daughter, once she was really in love, even if the whole family objected, it would be futile.
Sitting at the dining table and picking up a rice bowl, Qin Yanyang asked, "Have you all eaten?"
"Hmm, we’ve just finished. You guys eat first," replied Duanmu Ling.
Yang Fei felt a bit embarrassed with everyone watching, so he said to Qin Zhen, "How about we have some drinks?"
Qin Zhen looked at his father.
Qin Zhengfang subtly nodded his head.
It was someone’s first visit to their home, so it was only right to have someone accompany him.
As the head of the household and not particularly fond of Yang Fei, Qin Zhengfang felt it was beneath his dignity to join, so he preferred having his son do it.
After receiving his father’s silent approval, Qin Zhen sat next to Yang Fei, filled his glass, and said, "Then I’ll drink with you."
"I’ll have some too," said Qin Yanyang.
Qin Zhen filled her glass as well.
The three of them toasted, ate a few bites of food, and the atmosphere warmed up.
Qin Zhengfang gave his wife and daughter-in-law a look, and the few of them returned to the living room, not disturbing their meal.
At the dining table, Qin Zhen kept urging Yang Fei to drink, and Yang Fei was not one to refuse.
Neither of them cheated; they drank on their own true abilities.
Qin Yanyang occasionally joined them for a drink.
Soon, three jin of Platinum was gone.
Qin Zhen was already feeling tipsy, his face flushed and his forehead beaded with sweat.
He opened the fourth bottle of Maozi and said, "I don’t believe this, let’s go another round."
The two drank another.
Qin Zhen already felt immense pressure.
Because he noticed that Yang Fei looked as if nothing had happened, just as usual. If he hadn’t watched Yang Fei swallow the alcohol with his own eyes each time, he would have suspected that Yang Fei hadn’t drunk at all.
"Alright, bro, you can’t handle it," Qin Yanyang saw that after the fourth bottle was finished, her older brother was already tipsy; if he didn’t start practicing soon to regulate himself, he would truly end up drunk on the floor.
The key issue was that Qin Zhen still wouldn’t admit defeat and continued to reach for the fifth bottle.
So Qin Yanyang spoke up to stop him.
Qin Zhen’s eyes bulged, "What are you saying, sis? I can’t handle it?"
Qin Yanyang said helplessly, "You’re already slurring your words, why are you still trying to act tough? Just practice to regulate your breath and don’t embarrass yourself."
Enraged, Qin Zhen was about to retort when a wave of nausea surged in his stomach, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hands and rushed into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, he washed his face and came out looking more sober.
Seeing Yang Fei, who appeared unaffected and was eating a big bowl of rice, he hummed dismissively, "You’ve probably used your power to suppress the alcohol, that’s cheating."
Yang Fei smiled slightly and said, "Uncle-in-law is half-right. Although I didn’t do it deliberately, the True Yuan in my body does have a certain effect on breaking down excessive alcohol, so I indeed cannot get drunk."
Qin Zhen was speechless.
Damn, is this how people at a higher Realm bully others?
He gave up competing in drinking with Yang Fei and turned to look at Qin Yanyang, asking, "Yanyang, what’s this about the Martial Alliance firing you from your position?
Qin Yanyang said indifferently, "They fired me, so what? Any excuse will do."
She did not mention a word about the incident where she was surrounded and attacked by Wu Lie and others this afternoon.
She didn’t want grandfather to know.
Qin Zhen angrily said, "No, it’s about the reputation of the Qin family. The Zhang Family has gone too far."
Qin Yanyang gave a faint smile and said, "Are you only just now realizing how despicable and shameless the Zhang Family is?"
Qin Zhen hummed and remained silent.
He had previously insisted that his sister should join the Zhang Family.
But this time, he felt the Zhang Family had been utterly dishonorable with the matter of his sister being dismissed from her position as an elder by the Martial Alliance.
"We should tell grandfather; we can’t let the Qin family lose face," Qin Zhen said.
Qin Yanyang shook her head and replied, "If grandfather wanted to know, he would have known already. Do you really need to tell him? I came back today because there’s another matter I want to inquire about that’s even more important."
"What’s the matter?" Qin Zhen was taken aback and asked in confusion.
Without responding to him, Qin Yanyang gave Yang Fei a look, and the two headed towards the living room.
In the living room, Qin Zhengfang, Duanmu Ling, and Wang Ying, along with Qin Zhao, were watching television. Discover more novels at nοvelfire.net
Qin Yanyang sat down next to her mother and began, "Mom and Dad, since it’s just our family here today, I’ll speak frankly."
Neither Qin Zhengfang nor Duanmu Ling knew why their daughter, without any notice, suddenly brought Yang Fei home, and now hearing her say this, both looked curious, wondering what she was going to say.
Duanmu Ling said, "Yes, there are no outsiders here; tell us what’s on your mind."
Qin Yanyang looked at Duanmu Ling and asked, "Mom, do you know a woman named Duanmu Qing?"
