“To be honest, I don’t really care about these things, otherwise, why would I have asked you to pursue XiaoXiao, to begin with. Although most of it was meant as a joke, it proves that I am not some conservative person! You are also quite capable now and I know you can afford to have a lot of women. But what I want to know is, what’s XiaoXiao’s status in your heart, or more importantly, what’s her position among your other girlfriends?” Uncle Ye waved his hand and then stared at me.
Uncle Ye’s worry wasn’t groundless! Because of a combination of mistakes and fate, her daughter got pregnant with my child. Now, he obviously wanted to know why I was together with XiaoXiao?
Was it because of the child, or was it because of XiaoXiao herself? This was making Uncle Ye very uncomfortable at heart. If it was because of XiaoXiao, then he could give me her daughter confidently. But if it’s because of the child, then if XiaoXiao and I were in the same place, XiaoXiao will certainly not be happy in the future! Moreover, if she got ousted by my other girlfriends, then this relationship would be a lot worse than just being single!
“There is no status!” My words almost made Uncle Ye go into a violent rage, but my next words made him feel relaxed, “I treat all my women impartially, there is no status or disparity among them. They don’t have any roles either. What role can XiaoXiao have? Obviously, because of Little Ye Zi, I may take special care of XiaoXiao!” {TL Note: Just a few lines ago he was talking about being impartial!}
I didn’t say any more words after that, including You don’t know just how good XiaoXiao was in bed last night. I obviously can’t leave her!
“Good, I hope you will remember the words that you have said today! If XiaoXiao ever receives any grievance in the future, I will teach you a lesson in the same old way even if you are the richest man in the world!” Uncle Ye nodded.
“I can guarantee that I will keep my words! I will certainly never disappoint XiaoXiao! You can feel relieved, Uncle Ye!” I immediately guaranteed.
Although Uncle Ye wasn’t an old-fashioned man and said that he didn’t care at all, his heart still felt obstructed. Who would want her daughter to share her lover with others? But now, the thing was that her daughter had already given birth to his child, so what use was thinking about all this! What did it matter if he wasn’t willing?
Even if he hardened his heart to break their relationship and let his daughter be single for a lifetime, wouldn’t his grandson not have a father then?
Uncle Ye shook his head and accepted reality, “What will you call me?”
“Oh? Hehe, I will obviously call you ‘father!'” I knew that Uncle Ye had accepted us. A large stone was finally lifted off my chest!
“Well, don’t talk about this anymore and finish the game!” Uncle Ye pointed to the game that was reaching its end on the table.
“No, we have been up here for quite some time, so it’s not very good. We should go and check on XiaoXiao and Auntie Ye… Mother!” I bitterly smiled. It seemed that this Uncle Ye was thoroughly obsessed with chess.
“No, we must finish the game!” Uncle Ye insisted.
“Well, this is what you wanted!” I smiled and started to play.
“How is this? Did I just lose?” Uncle Ye’s eyes widened in shock, “How come I lost so fast? You aren’t going to give any face to your father-in-law now? You never played against me seriously before, did you! You can win this rotten game so easily!”
“Hehe, no big deal. I will let you win next time! You brought this upon yourself, don’t blame it on me now!” I was afraid that Uncle Ye will keep on pestering me again, so I hastily stood up.
When we went downstairs, Ye XiaoXiao and Auntie Ye were happily discussing. I didn’t know what Ye XiaoXiao said to Auntie Ye about our matter, or if she had already reached an understanding with her, but when I gave her an “I am done!” signal, she returned me an “OK” gesture.
Ye XiaoXiao smiled at me and I also returned her an “OK” gesture. I knew that she had successfully talked to her mother about this matter.
“Little Liu, aren’t you going to come over and greet your mother-in-law?” Auntie Ye smiled and waved at me.
“Mother!” I smiled and quickly walked over to her.
Only later did I find out that Auntie Ye had a long chat with Ye XiaoXiao. She talked to Ye XiaoXiao about my matter and then asked her several questions, then gave her the green light.
When Ye XiaoXiao mentioned the matter to me, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. One of the questions she asked was: Can he satisfy all of you women?
Next day, Ye XiaoXiao prepared to go and visit some of her former colleagues. She wanted me to come with her but I decided not to go. I didn’t want to see my former teachers. In order to avoid any embarrassment, I dropped Ye XiaoXiao at the school gate and agreed to pick her up at night, then drove away.
Other than this matter, there was another reason I returned to Songjiang this time, and that was to find the place marked on the sheepskin to see just what kind of treasure was so coveted by the Wang Family.
I have read the <<Deer and Cauldron>>, and there was a mention of a sheepskin inside it. Sometimes, I wonder if the sheepskin I have was the same as the one in it? The sheepskin I have was also made in the Qing Dynasty, so perhaps, it also had the location of some Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein! {TL Note: Dragon Veins}
Before going there, I called Liu Zhenhai first and inquired about the exact location that he went to in the past. But since years had passed, Liu Zhenhai couldn’t remember the exact spot and could only give a general location.
“My good grandson, are you going on a treasure hunt?” Liu Zhenhai asked strangely.
“Yes, I am indeed going on a treasure hunt. Is there any issue?” I didn’t need to conceal anything from Liu Zhenhai.
“You are already so rich yet you care about some buried treasure that might or might not be?” Liu Zhenhai said with amazement, “Don’t tell me you are greedy for more money even with everything you already got!”
“I am greedy for money? If I was greedy for money, why would I return the contracts to the major families when I took them from the Wang Family during the martial arts competition!” I said with a smile, “I am just curious! Perhaps, what’s concealed there is something more valuable than money, or maybe, there isn’t anything!”
“Curious? I know! You are a rich man who has everything in the world to eat!” Liu Zhenhai rolled his eyes, “There might not be a treasure? Don’t tell me it’s gonna be an alien base! Haha!” {TL Note: Are we going to see aliens again? What did the aliens look like again? I forgot. I wonder if there will be alien chicks in the novel? If there aren’t then the novel will lose a lot of points.}
“Old guy, you just don’t have the spirit of taking a risk and love for exploration!” I said with despise.
“Don’t I have the spirit for exploration? When I was younger, my curiosity was no less than yours! However, at that time, many of our masters didn’t dare go down the mountain valley! Who knows just what was in there?” Liu Zhenhai shook his head as he thought, “You don’t lack anything! You got money, beauty, status, everything… what more do you want? What is there to see in an old treasure?”
“Hehe, since you don’t wanna go then I got nothing much to say! I must go though. To begin with, is there even something to be afraid of with my ability helping you?”
I didn’t chat with him anymore and hung up the phone. Driving my car, I went in the direction marked on the map, towards the suburbs.
Xixing Mountain Natural Scenic Reserve? I looked at the big sign above the tourist attraction and shook my head. No wonder I thought the area was familiar. It turned out to be Xixing mountain! When I was in high school, I came here with Chen Wei’er and Zhao YanYan. It was also here that I presented a gift to Chen Wei’er! {TL Note: The chapter where they went on a trip to a snow mountain and Chen Wei’er and Liu Lei ended up falling down a cliff and ended up in a cave. They also did snusnu there. V1C103 [https://bit.ly/2Q2KGBe] – V1C122 [https://bit.ly/2MUgCWs]}
