Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

He had heard arguing as he approached the courtyard.

"Xu Damao, do you live in the sea? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Zhao De retorted.

He thought to himself that this unlucky card was really worth the money when it was used on Xu Damao.

.......................

Chapter Twenty-Three: Xu Damao's Home Was Raided!

Zhao De was eloquent, a skill Yan Bugui had already experienced firsthand.

So he instructed Lao Yi and Lao Liu to put pressure on him as soon as possible.

Ideally, we should force Zhao De to submit and hand over Yu Li.

“Zhao De, look, you and Uncle San are neighbors.”

"We see each other every day, so what I did today was really inappropriate."

Yan Bugui was dumbfounded as soon as Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth.

Your words are so weak and insincere; who are you trying to tell us?

It's just that it's not suitable?

...................

"Dezi, there won't be a next blind date for you—no, there won't be a next time."

Liu Haizhong looked around, trying to ease the awkwardness, and then said:

"Your second uncle will definitely criticize you. It was a bit of a coincidence."

"You should at least give Uncle San a heads-up beforehand, so he can save face!"

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yan Bugui was even more dumbfounded.

So he was actually right in this matter?

Yan Bugui himself was surprised, let alone his sons and daughters.

"Wait, do either of you know what happened? Which side are you on?"

Yan Bugui still felt that Lao Yi and Lao Liu were helping him.

There might be a misunderstanding about what happened; after all, we've known each other for so many years!

......................

However, both old men spoke up for him.

This was something Zhao De had anticipated, and he wasn't surprised at all.

Now that they had all stated their positions, Zhao De decided to steer the conversation back on track:

"Uncle, let's be frank, this matter isn't complicated."

"It's nothing more than your eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, wanting to go on a blind date with Yu Li, and she reluctantly agreed."

"But you've been agonizing over a few cents for a matchmaking fee for a whole month."

"The woman was not satisfied, so the matchmaker, Aunt Wang, ended up finding someone else to introduce her to."

"Perfect timing, I arrested an enemy agent yesterday."

"Director Wang from the neighborhood office helped me clear up the grievances I had suffered."

"So, Aunt Wang brought Yu Li and me together, and we were both very happy with each other."

“I went to her house for dinner last night, and her parents agreed to our marriage.”

"It seems the two gentlemen were quite fair; I was indeed short-sighted at the time."

"It was inappropriate of me to not inform you in advance."

After Zhao De finished speaking, Yan Bugui's face turned pale and then red.

"You've already met their parents? And they agreed to it?"

Yan Jiecheng was shocked; this was too fast!

That's absolutely outrageous!

......................

"Of course, we even got our marriage certificate!"

Zhao De proudly pulled out his marriage certificate, waved it in front of everyone, and continued:

"The wedding date has already been set; we plan to hold the banquet and get married this Sunday!"

This completely stunned the Yan family.

Yan Bugui almost couldn't breathe, and the others were equally surprised.

I never expected Zhao De to be so decisive and efficient.

It could even be described as swift and decisive.

Even Xu Damao admired his decisive and swift approach.

......................

Only after Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng recovered did they finally give up completely.

We've already gotten our marriage certificate and met each other's parents.

What's the point of continuing to make a fuss?

Can we still win Yu Li back?

Furthermore, it seems that Lao Yi and Lao Liu are not on their side, but rather support Zhao De.

But they were still indignant and harbored resentment towards Zhao Dehuai.

Yan Bugui was making further plans.

When the banquet was held on Sunday, he only gave a small gift of one cent.

The whole family went together, and they ate and took things as they went, which infuriated Zhao De.

"By the way, I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be holding the banquet in the courtyard. Anyway, I don't have any elders in my family."

As soon as Zhao Degang finished speaking, Yan Bugui immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"What? You're not even planning to hold a banquet?"

"Oh dear, it seems a bit inappropriate not to display them."

......................

Zhao De deliberately feigned hesitation, intending to tease Yan Bugui.

He knew what the other person was thinking.

Yan Bugui quickly tried to dissuade him:

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so we must make the most of this one chance."

"It has to be a big, grand affair."

The other guests echoed this sentiment.

They were all hoping to get a free, lavish meal.

"Hey, you can't say that."

Zhao De then changed the subject and specifically mentioned Xu Damao.

"Aren't some people just planning to get divorced? Maybe they'll get married again in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Why did you have to drag me into this?

Sure enough, Zhao De's suggestion proved correct.

Lou Xiao'e, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, immediately remembered her own situation.

......................

"Xu Damao, I'm not going to waste my time with you anymore. We have no choice but to get a divorce."

"If you don't come to the subdistrict office by tomorrow afternoon, you can consider the consequences yourself."

It's freezing cold outside.

Lou Xiao'e, carrying a suitcase and several packages of various sizes, left resolutely.

No matter how much Xu Damao begged, it was no use.

He originally wanted to use Zhao De's matter to distract everyone.

They'll wait until it's too late and then let the divorce slide.
