Yao Keji didn't raise his head but asked tranquilly, "When?"
"Tomorrow," Shi Lei replied confidently.
Yao Keji nodded, "I will be waiting for your good news. If I can meet the Song family tomorrow, I will lay my cards on the table with Yu Banzhi."
"Thank you so much," Shi Lei raised his glass and the two toasted with each other.
Shi Lei expected that it would be easy to convince Yao Keji. The main point was how to persuade him so that he would still be safe after it.
The Lotus Tongue Card wasn't prepared for Yao Keji. If he forcefully convinced Yao Keji, it would only harm the father and two sons.
This card was supposed to be for Song Miaomiao's grandfather. If the Song family stepped up to oppose, then the Yu family can only swallow the bitter fruit and drop out of his plan to advance further.
After drinking the glass of sake, Yao Keji was ready to leave as he just had to wait for Shi Lei's final news.
Shi Lei quickly ate some food and rushed towards Xixi.
The high speed rail was only an hour away and Shi Lei stood in Xixi's train station.
On the way, Shi Lei contacted Song Miaomiao and she was surprised. However, she drove over and picked up Shi Lei.
"Hah, you are really tiring yourself for the sake of another woman. You called me twice in the same day and really came to Xixi to see me. Should I be touched and give myself to you in return?"
Shi Lei rolled his eyes, "Can you be more normal? You are like an idiot everyday. I came here this time to see your grandfather."
"Aiyo, we haven't even done anything and you want to see my family? You ask to see my grandfather straight away. Do you want to have our wedding ceremony planned tomorrow?"
Shi Lei was speechless, "I'm talking about serious things."
"I'm serious too. To me, the most serious thing is to tease you! I heard that you even went to that person's house recently. Shi Lei, you are just an ordinary citizen. What are you messing around for? Is it something that you can intervene in? I'll speak honestly. My father is ready to talk to the Yu family. If the conditions are met, then it's settled. Shi Lei, don't imagine yourself to be a superman who can save the earth. You are just a brat who I just happened to like. Do you see my grandfather? What do you plan to say when you see him? I have pestered him for so long but his attitude is very clear. He only told me that it's not something I can intervene in. If I can't intervene, how can you?"
Shi Lei expected this as he thought of it before. Hence, he wasn't surprised at all.
"Don't worry about that. I'm merely asking you; I want to see your grandfather. Can you do it or can you not?"
"Even if I can, you can't save Wei Xingyue! Give up!" Song Miaomiao fumed.
"It's my business whether I can save her or not. But whether you help or not, it's your business."
"Fine! I'll take you to see my grandfather right now. I want to see whether you can change my grandfather's opinion or not. Do you really think that you have three heads and six arms? My grandfather always spoiled me but my lips almost cracked from trying to persuade him. Yet he's not changing his idea. My grandfather made it very clear that the Song family only joins for benefits. Without our family, it won't stop the Yu family's steps."
Shi Lei smiled calmly, "That's hard to say. You are underestimating your family and you are underestimating me. But you agreed to take me to see your grandfather."
Song Miaomiao smacked the steering wheel twice harshly. She pressed on the horn and the car screeched.
Song Miaomiao drove back to her place. She stepped on the brake and the car stopped horizontal on the parking spot.
"Get out. I'll take you to see my grandfather," Song Miaomiao put her hands on her hips like a caterpillar who tried to claim a mountain.
Shi Lei got out and fixed his attire through the reflection of the window.
Song Miaomiao guided the way at the front and as soon as she walked up the stairs, the door was opened and a nanny around forty or fifty years old bowed, "Miss, you are back?"
"Mother Wu, is grandfather napping?"
"He just woke up and he's drinking tea."
"Alright!" Song Miaomiao turned around to look at Shi Lei. Shi Lei nodded at Mother Wu as a greeting.
They walked across and arrived at the backyard. The backyard had a separate short building and Song Miaomiao led Shi Lei straight there.
Song Miaomiao knocked on the door, "Grandfather, I brought a friend to drink tea with you."
Her grandfather was very fond of his granddaughter and laughed, "Come in. This is the first time you brought someone home. Let me see whose child it is…" As he spoke, Song Miaomiao pushed the door open and Shi Lei followed rightly after. As soon as Song Miaomiao's grandfather saw Shi Lei, he froze for a second and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Obviously, he recognized Shi Lei.
Shi Lei was registered at the Song family. When Song Miaomiao stayed in the same hotel room for a night with Shi Lei, her personality changed greatly and she didn't rebel against her father naively. However, it still made her father feel like she ruined her reputation as a girl staying with a man for a night in the hotel. Previously, Song Miaomiao had other kinds of rumors but her father knew that it was clearly just children playing.
But her grandfather's words made Secretary Song give up on hunting Shi Lei down, "No matter what, we have to thank that child."
After that, the Song family couldn't help but check on Shi Lei's background. Afterward, they were only disappointed as they knew what Shi Lei was like.
Between the Yu and Wei family this time, her grandfather knew that it was Shi Lei's words when Song Miaomiao came back to probe his attitude. Master Song's impression on Shi Lei decreased. From his perspective, it was Shi Lei being overconfident. He thought that he got to know a few people of high social class and that him think he was capable of changing the situation? Even if he had connections with the Bai family, even Old Bai wasn't willing to intervene. Shi Lei was a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of a tiger. It wasn't a good thing because he was merely a frog at the bottom of the well.
After Song Miaomiao pestered him, Master Song's impression of Shi Lei got even worse.
Now that he saw Shi Lei, he couldn't help but to express it.
"Grandpa, this is my friend, he…" Song Miaomiao seemed to know that her grandfather's impression of Shi Lei wasn't well and she began to regret and think that she shouldn't have brought Shi Lei here impulsively. She quickly dashed over and hugged her grandpa's arm and acted cute, saying that she wanted to introduce Shi Lei and to make the atmosphere slightly more relaxed.
Master Song had no expressions on his face and cut off Song Miaomiao's words, "I know him. He's called Shi Lei and he's filled with stones."
Shi Lei quickly bowed, "Grandpa Song, hello. I'm Shi Lei."
Master Song snorted, "Since Miaomiao brought you back, sit down and drink some tea. Brat, don't lose yourself just because Miaomiao is helping you. There are things you cannot intervene in."
Shi Lei knew that the situation was going to be like this and he didn't mind it as he sat down across Master Song silently.
Master Song also had a domineering aura on him and looked down on everything. Because of his manners, it was even stronger than that elder. Luckily, Shi Lei already talked to the elder and strengthened his mind. Otherwise, perhaps he would be too afraid to speak now.
