Chapter 1107 - Remind Them All About The Head Authority Once Again.
Feng Yu Hao heard Qi Shuai and paused for a moment before turning to look at his wife, Zhen Qinrou, to ask, "Qinrou, you are her mother, what are your thoughts about it?"
Although Zhen Qinrou wanted to reject all the ideas Feng Yi Lan had proposed, she couldn't dare to do that. Her rejection regarding the matter would have implicated wrongly the character of the sweet and caring mother she has always projected. So, putting a fake, amiable smile over her expression, she said, "I have no thoughts regarding it, honey. Since Yi Lan is our daughter, I believe that you wouldn't decide wrong for her. So, I will depend on you for her future."
She said and thinking about her words for a moment, Feng Yu Hao nodded to her with some seriousness before turning to look at Feng Yi Ran, who has been there standing all silent for a good moment now.
"Yi Ran, no one could deny that more than Qinrou, you have looked after Yi Lan. She was just like a daughter to you and you have also pampered her as your own daughter. So do you have anything to say on this?"
Feng Yi Ran smiled. Of course, she has always taken both the girl and her brother as her own. Since her mother left, the instincts of a mother have got in her heart. While looking at Feng Shufen in the early years, she has never been able to neglect the girl who has come to stick to her every moment.
Even she was not a mother to give birth to, being an elder sister to her, she was also no less. So now that her father was asking for her opinion regarding her future, how could she not take a moment to decide on it?? She turned to look at her little sister and pressed her lips in thought. Her eyes moved between the two and seeing the confidence in the two pairs of eyes, she turned to reply.
"Father, except for knowing Qi Shuai as Shufen's best friend I have not known him properly. But seeing Yi Lan being able to stand with him so confidently, I can't dare to doubt their relationship. Since it's a future, Yi Lan wanted to create, I will only prefer to believe them first. After all, the relationship is something they have to carry on their own." She said, standing on the side of her sister without any hesitation.
Feng Yu Hao then turned to gaze at Feng Shufen. And he need not ask him for the same, as the man, himself, turned to reply with all solemnity.
"He has been one of the only people I can believe with all my secrets in this world. I can't doubt his sincerity." Feng Shufen said and his agreement regarding the relationship was all evident in his words.
Feng Yu Hao didn't say but his eyes traveled to pause at Li Xue as well. When he kept staring at her for some time, Li Xue nodded to show her opinion as well. She preferred to keep her reply in gesture as in midst of so many words, she doesn't want to prolong the course.
Furthermore, her addition to the family happened just an hour before, speaking too much would have also come out awkward. She was already happy that in a family matter as serious as this, her father-in-law cared to take her opinion. And it was also enough to burn someone at a distance.
Zhang Xiaotong couldn't take it anymore. For a day, she had enough. So, without letting anyone know, she left first, gritting her teeth.
While Feng Yu Hao was asking one by one, the relatives started to whisper on their own, discussing their thoughts about the marriage between Feng Yi Lan and Qi Shuai. They were preparing themselves to give their thought to the patriarch when he asked them about it. But little did they expect Feng Yu Hao to ignore them as if they were air.
Instead of asking them, they saw him turning back to Feng Yi Lan and Qi Shuai to announce, "Fine, then let's meet on the other day to discuss the dates and arrangement of the wedding." He said, giving a shocker to everyone. Feng Yi Lan was overjoyed while Qi Shuai kept his composure. Although he has not come all prepared for this, since he proposed the relation, he chose to keep the rare seriousness in his personality.
Nodding, he agreed, "Okay, Uncle. After discussing with Yi Lan, I will let you know." He said before passing a soft smile to the girl on her side.
Tugging lightly on the arms of Feng Shufen, Li Xue came to wish the couple congratulation, while from the other side Feng Yi Ran also made her way to reach them.
Zhen Qinrou was not pleased but when her gaze matched her husband, she didn't forget to give him a smile. "Yu Hao, I feel a bit tired. Since the day is already over. May I go and rest first in my room." She asked and nodding to her, Feng Yu Hao allowed.
The relatives were aggrieved at the ignorance they received, so they didn't rest before coming to question Feng Yu Hao straight.
The old man gazed at their approach like that and understood, so showing his hand to them first, he turned to look at the two little kids sitting on his side to say with all gentleness. "WeiWei, I have promised to allow you to see the mansion today. Since we already had so much talk here, why not you go and look around the mansion with your brother Yuchen?"
The little girl looked at her grandfather's expression and then gazed to look at the relatives. Though she was small, she still was capable of reading the expression of the people. So, it was not hard for her to know that the elders wanted to discuss something important that her grandfather didn't want her to hear.
So not making it tough for him, she nodded with a smile, "Okay, Yéyé. WeiWei will go and will also take Brother Yuchen and White Ears along so that they didn't come to disturb you." She said and Feng Yu Hao smiled at her, seeing her jump down from her chair before walking away to see the mansion. He signaled the butler to follow them.
When they were gone, he turned to look at the relatives. His expression changed as his eyes no longer contained the gentleness he once had when he sat with his grandchildren. "You all have come to me together. Is there something that's bothering you all?" He asked, his tone holding a command that held energy to pause everyone around.
"Father seems a bit dangerous now. Elder Sister, do you think those relatives are safe? I fear they have challenged his patience already." Feng Yi Lan said softly when heard the strictness in the voice of her father.
Feng Yi Ran seemed nonchalant. "Many things have happened today. I have already seen this coming but have not expected this yet. Don't worry. Since your relationship has already been confirmed before, no change would be coming your way. Just hold your tongue later and don't speak until you are asked to." She said, warning the very moment.
Yi Lan dared not overrule her sister's words. So, nodding, she pressed her lips to seal it up as the very first thing. Qi Shuai, Li Xue, and Feng Shufen also stood silent, as they saw the things turning up at the front.
"Brother, we respect you and your decisions always since you have been the patriarch of our family. But today after you passed the two decisions, we feel complicated. And so, we are here to ask for your explanation." Being the representative of the relatives, Feng Da Zhong said, taking a step ahead.
Feng Yu Hao stared down at him and his lips curled up in a smile that definitely didn't imply any happiness, "Explanation? Fine, since it's a mass request, I won't deny it. Ask where it is complicated?"
He said and everyone turned to look at Li Xue first before turning to look at him again. The first meaning was clear, so without keeping any formality, Feng Yu Hao said, "That girl has not come begging you all for getting included in our family, nor Shufen has urged you all to accept her. She was ready to leave while Shufen was ready to give her compensation according to their marriage deed. It was for the sake of your all-mere profit that I made that decision. Since you all loved your properties so much, where do you find my decision getting complicated?"
He said and the bluntness in his words like that didn't leave any loophole for the relatives to question. They felt odd but since they were already here and had already marked the count of two, they couldn't step back. Feng Da Zhong felt hard but nodding; he agreed to his fault before beginning the other to ask.
"Since you have taken that decision for our sake, we agree to it. But what about the other one, Brother? We feel that since you were upset with us, you purposefully held the grudge and didn't even prefer to ask our opinion about Yi Lan's relationship. Your ignorance like that has hurt us and …"
Before he could complete it, Feng Yu Hao left a flutter of laughter that stunned almost everyone to their core. "Haha … You all are relatives and I never disagreed with that fact. But how come you thought that I would allow you all to get into my family affairs? Since Shufen would be one becoming the future patriarch, it was understandable for you all to get into his affairs like that. But how did my daughter get into the concern of you all? Don't you think you are overstepping on every matter too much?"
He said and in between his words, the intention was very clear. But to not hold any curtain on his words, he still added to make it clear, "First in arranging for family gathering out of usual. And then also deciding on inviting the outsiders on your own will? Do you think I can no longer see it? Or have you started to believe that since getting old, I have lost the command of all powers?"
Feng Yu Hao said, scanning everyone around, turning both their ribs and spine stiff in fear. In recent years after leaving the company in the command of Shufen, he has kept authority as the family patriarch at ease, but his stance of ease like that never meant to make people think that his power has lost its effects.. Since they have dared to think like that, he has made sure to make all of them remember their head authority once again.
