Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 582 592: Tigers Blocking the Path of Marriage
The Wrangler sped along the wide road, with Ye Feng soothing An Ting from the backseat, finally managing to stabilize her emotions after much effort.
The car pulled into an ordinary street and stopped in front of a noodle shop, named An Xin Noodle House.
The An Xin Noodle House was run by An Ting's father. The storefront was their own property, and An Ting's parents were content happily running the noodle shop together.
"Come in and sit for a while, my parents said they missed you, claiming you hardly ever visit."
An Ting said with a smile, while Ye Feng, feeling somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head. It wasn't that he didn't visit An Ting's family; it was more that the elderly couple was just too enthusiastic, and he was indeed very busy.
"Okay then, Little Ling, shall we go down and sit for a while?" Ye Feng asked Ye Ling, since he wasn't sure if Ye Ling had other things to do and he couldn't decide for him without asking.
Ye Ling nodded. He might as well go and meet his cousin's future mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Behind the noodle shop was an ordinary residential courtyards—ordinary, but in Donghai City, where land was worth its weight in gold, this was akin to sitting on a fortune of tens of millions.
Furthermore, rumors had it that the government had long been planning to redevelop the area. Once work began, the An family was expected to receive a huge compensation, a truly astronomical figure.
Inside a room in the courtyard, An Ting's parents sat on the sofa. Opposite them was a middle-aged woman who bore a strong resemblance to An Ting's mother, but her demeanor seemed rather shrew,.
An Ting's father looked honest and was slightly overweight, his hair already half white, presenting a very kind appearance.
And An Ting's mother was also quite attractive. It was evident that An Ting had inherited plenty of her mother's good looks.
"Sis, I'm telling you, with a daughter as good as An Ting, you can't let her settle for some construction foreman. Aren't there enough accidents on worksites these days?"
"They don't earn much, and they're always living in fear. The key point is that Ye Feng is from the countryside. I'm telling you, you can't keep indulging him like this."
"You both know how hard it is to get construction payments these days. Everything I'm saying is for An Ting's sake."
"That Liu guy I told you about has money, and not only that, he's a returnee with a master's degree. He just joined the Donghai headquarters of Huamei Group."
"You know how good the benefits there are, right? And the guy went straight to an office job, who knows, maybe in a few years he could be a director or something. That would be fantastic."
"I've told you, I've already spoken to Liu, and he's coming over in a bit. You'll see, it's a sure thing," An Ting's aunt was going on and on while her father simply shook his head and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand: "We won't interfere with the child's matters."
"As long as she's willing, that's enough. It's her path to walk, she'll have no regrets. So, we shouldn't worry too much."
An Ting's father said with a smile, showing that he was a very democratic and cheerful father, much stronger than many money-eyed fathers in reality.
Upon hearing this, An Ting's aunt immediately became anxious, "Hey, brother-in-law, how can you think like that? This is An Ting's happiness we're talking about! I don't care, I don't agree."
An Ting's mother just helplessly shook her head; her sister was all right in every aspect except for being somewhat mercenary.
At that moment, An Ting, accompanied by Ye Feng and Ye Ling, walked in. An Ting, taken aback upon seeing her aunt, quickly asked why she was still here so late at night.
An Ting's aunt glanced at Ye Feng beside An Ting and her face darkened immediately, "An Ting, why are you still with him? A kid from the countryside, what happiness can he bring you?"
"Let me tell you, your aunt has introduced a match for you, and that child will be here soon. He works in a big company, and he's a sea turtle who studied abroad. You really have to seize this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, An Ting immediately became anxious, "Auntie, I don't want you to get involved in my affairs. I won't meet him."
"Ah, what happiness can he offer you? Let me tell you, it's not easy working on construction sites anymore, it's much worse than before. Don't be fooled by him."
While saying this, An Ting's aunt gave Ye Feng a fierce glare that made him feel uneasy all over.
"I don't care, I won't meet him. I brought Ye Feng here today to talk to mom and dad about marriage. I want to marry Ye Feng!"
An Ting pouted and sat down beside her parents. Upon hearing her words, her parents nodded immediately, "Alright, alright, Ye Feng is a steady boy, not rough, and besides, at your age, it's time to get married."
"Otherwise, we would still be worried about our eldest daughter not being able to find a husband. Once you're married, your mom and I will close the noodle shop and take her traveling."
An Ting's father laughed heartily, but Ye Ling, watching the situation unfold, just smiled. His cousin was still facing many difficulties.
"Uncle, rest assured, I will not let An Ting down. I'll treat her well for a lifetime!"
Ye Feng hurriedly promised, but An Ting's aunt said disdainfully from the side, "Don't make promises you can't keep. Let me tell you, I don't agree to your marriage."
Ye Ling was taken aback. As an aunt, with the girl's parents agreeable, why was she still so blindly obstructive?
Just then, An Ting's aunt's phone rang. She glanced at it and quickly said with a smile, "Xiao Liu is here. I'm telling you, he's a real catch, you'll definitely like him!"
With those words, An Ting's aunt hurriedly went out. An Ting said anxiously, "Mom! Look at what auntie is doing!"
"You know what she's like. She's always like this. But you, Ye Feng, don't overthink it. Just work hard in the future and don't let An Ting suffer."
An Ting's mother said with a smile, and Ye Feng nodded vigorously. Just then, An Ting's aunt came in, leading a young man and carrying two boxes of things.
"Hello, uncle and auntie, pleased to meet you. I hope you can look after me. These are American ginseng and some medicines I brought from abroad, which are very beneficial for middle-aged people."
As he spoke, Xiao Liu placed the items on the table, then glanced at Ye Feng with scorn in his eyes.
Clearly, An Ting's aunt had already informed him of another strong competitor in the house, yet he didn't seem worried at all.
A mere contractor, toiling to death, how much could he earn in a year?
In terms of education, family background, and birth, in what way could Ye Feng compete with him? More importantly, he knew well that the An family had only one daughter.
Once he married An Ting, the government was planning to redevelop this street, which could mean securing tens of millions, and possibly even a billion.
"Brother-in-law, sister, take a look, what do you think? Xiao Liu isn't bad, right? Much better than Ye Feng, that kid from the countryside, right?"
"I've told you, Xiao Liu will definitely do. Really, if you don't believe me, let him date An Ting for a few months."

An Ting's aunt quickly said these words, but they deeply wounded Ye Feng's heart. He wanted to retort, but felt it was inappropriate, yet not retorting was unbearably frustrating.
