Chapter 1072 - 482: Distant Relatives Can’t Compete with Close Neighbors (Part 2)

——The progress on the Mecha task is still at 0, after all, although Wu Min is also an imperial citizen, he is not a stranger.Wu Min, who was used to Lin Li’s cryptic way of speaking, didn’t react much. After all, on normal days, her father didn’t acknowledge this son outside, so she just looked at Lin Li with disdain and shook her head helplessly.

"Second floor, Huaya Hall."

Glancing at the scrolling text on the electronic LED screen at the hotel entrance, Lin Li led Wu Min upstairs.

At the entrance of Huaya Hall, there was a red table with a row of red packets neatly arranged. Several middle-aged people sat next to it chatting or taking notes, and by the main entrance stood a young man in a suit.

While Wu Min went to give the wedding gift money, Lin Li went straight towards the young man and greeted loudly, "Hey Bro—"

Fang Qihuo, noticing this, waved his hand with a smile. Once Lin Li approached, Fang Qihuo looked Lin Li up and down, then patted his shoulder with a grin, teasing:

"Haven’t seen you for almost a year, have you grown taller again?"

"Tsk, I liked you better when you were younger, keep away from me tonight, seeing you like this is just annoying."

"So tired... huh?"

A girl in a dress walked out of the hall, stopping her soft exclamation upon seeing Lin Li, and naturally stood next to Fang Qihuo, curiously looking at Lin Li.

No need for Fang Qihuo to introduce further, from the day’s outfit alone, her identity was obvious, so Lin Li immediately smiled and slightly bowed, "Hello sister-in-law."

Although he’s a cousin, there’s really no need to emphasize that part, as it could make things awkward or pose significant risks.

What risks exactly, you ask.

Let’s put it this way, according to Bai Bufan’s confession, he once, out of nervousness, intended to say hello to his cousin’s wife but ended up saying "Hello cousin b*tch" instead.

On that day, what once was a peaceful place of "family love," was thrown into a complete war.

In that battle, the sky turned dark, and the ranks became all messed up with the cousin not satisfied being just a brother, wanting to become Bufan’s uncle instead.

That night, the paternal love of both the uncle and father was concentrated into Seven Wolves.

Everyone, Wei Zheng once said that by using stool as a mirror, you can understand prosperity and decline, and by using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses.

The alarm bell long sounded.

"Hello, hello." Yu Liu immediately nodded, then turned her gaze to Fang Qihuo.

Identifying Lin Li just by his attire was beyond her.

"This is the Lin Li I’ve mentioned," Fang Qihuo introduced with a smile, "The one chatting with my mom over there is his mom, who is also my third aunt, just follow my lead in greeting."

"Oh, oh, so he’s Lin Li." Yu Liu nodded, looking more curiously at Lin Li, and said with a smile, "I’ve heard much about you."

"Oh? Sister-in-law, does my brother often mention me to you?" Lin Li asked curiously, picking up on Yu Liu’s tone.

"Yes," Yu Liu nodded, then added with an amused squint of her eyes, "But not much good, now I feel like he wasn’t quite fair."

"You see, my brother’s always been jealous of how much better I am than him since we were little, so he’s been maliciously defaming me outside; I’ve grown used to it," Lin Li sighed in mock exasperation.

"Lin Li, your words aren’t fair either. Your brother is very outstanding too, he won’t and doesn’t need to be jealous of others."

Fang Qihuo: "Liu Liuᰔ~"

Yu Liu: "Hey Broᰔ~"

Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"

Seeing the two looking at each other affectionately, Lin Li was dumbfounded.

Damn, so being fed dog food is such an uncomfortable experience?

Sorry, Dingzi, sorry, Jiujiu, sorry, Bai... never mind, you should eat more, being so thin already, I wonder if Mrs. Bai feeds you some off-brand dog food usually, why do you only grow taller and not put on any weight.

But seeing Yu Liu yawn again, Lin Li asked curiously, "Bro, is sister-in-law very tired?"

"It’s like this," Fang Qihuo said while putting his arm around Yu Liu’s shoulder and patting it, lamenting with slight helplessness:

"You guests just need to come and eat in the evening, but us engaged people have many considerations. Actually, this New Year’s Day, my sister-in-law and I have been busy the whole day, we need to make sure you have a good engagement experience so you won’t go back and complain that you shouldn’t have come."

"Well, say no more, bro, break a couple of my ribs to make some bone soup to nourish sister-in-law!" Lin Li responded quite emotionally.

Yu Liu: "?"

Yu Liu instinctively glanced at her fiancé... why did Qihuo seem accustomed to this kind of remark...

"Alright, you go in and sit wherever, you can sit at the main table with me if you want, we don’t need to be too particular about these things." Fang Qihuo laughed, giving Lin Li a light punch on the left shoulder.

"I’d better not, sitting at the main table neither shows respect nor comfort, so I’ll sit with the juniors on the groom’s side," Lin Li chuckled, pulling a red packet from his pocket and handing it to Fang Qihuo:

"Bro, this is my gift money."

"What are you doing—aye—" Fang Qihuo looked at Lin Li in surprise and gave a playful shove to push the red packet away:

"Not even considering that I didn’t plan to take any gift money for real, your mother already gave one, why are you offering another?"

"I’m an adult now, and my mother can no longer represent me," Lin Li waved it off with a prideful air, "Besides, it’s not much, bro, just five hundred bucks, consider it a token from me."

"Five hundred is too much, what are you doing as a student giving so much, not okay not okay." Fang Qihuo shook his head repeatedly.

"Not giving it freely, there’s a condition." Lin Li smiled.

Relaxed at Lin Li’s words, Fang Qihuo nodded with a smile, "Alright, what do you need your brother to do?"
