Sensing that something was off in the courtyard, Ling Yun immediately stopped and looked in surprise at the outdoor teahouse under the crabapple tree.

Although it's already early November, the weather is quite nice today, so there's no problem having tea and chatting in the courtyard this afternoon.

At this moment, Dad was holding a famous Yixing teapot and was serving tea to the others. His smile was somewhat helpless and a little awkward.

But Lingyun could see it clearly; there was a hint of smugness in his father's eyes.

Over the past and present lives, spanning sixty or seventy years, Ling Yun had witnessed his father's smug display of pride at least a dozen or twenty times, so he was naturally very familiar with it!

But what made him feel uneasy and nervous were the men sitting opposite his father.

They were Da Meiyuan's father, Lei Lei's father, and Yanzi's father. All three of them had dark faces and unpleasant expressions, looking like they were there to interrogate him!

The mothers were nowhere to be found. Da Meiyuan and Yanzi, who should have been in the large courtyard, were also nowhere to be seen!

But Lingyun remembered that as soon as he came out of the lake, he sent Yanzi a text message saying that he would be there in ten minutes.

He didn't pay any attention to the swallow's lack of reply.

Aside from the somewhat eerie atmosphere in the courtyard, the atmosphere in the north-facing living room, with its doors tightly shut, also seemed rather tense!

Upon seeing the situation in the courtyard, Ling Yun immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Just then, an orange shadow suddenly rushed from the left corridor, meowing and lunging at Lingyun's trouser leg with unusual joy!

The sudden appearance of Xiao Ju instantly broke the brief silence.

The father and the others, who had just picked up their teacups, put them down at the same time, staring wide-eyed at Ling Yun, ready to roll up their sleeves and get ready to fight!

Ling Yun felt three murderous auras rushing towards him, heading straight for his head!

This is terrible!

In such a life-or-death situation, the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee!

"Dad, please continue having tea with the three uncles. I have some top-grade, specially supplied Da Hong Pao tea in my study; please go and fetch it for them."

"I suddenly remembered something important. I need to go to the National Development and Reform Commission to see Director Li. I won't be back for dinner tonight, so don't wait for me."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and walked towards the first courtyard.

He had barely taken two steps, and hadn't even turned around the screen, when his father's annoyed voice came from behind him.

"Get back here right now! If you dare to run away today, I'll break your legs and give your Uncle Gao and the others an explanation."

"A real man takes responsibility for his actions. If you run away from this situation again, you might as well not be a man!..."

As soon as Dad said those resounding words, Da Meiyuan's dad and his wife, who had just lifted their butts, sat back down heavily!

Then, gritting his teeth, he stared at Ling Yun, waiting to see how he would react next.

Of the three, Leilei's father had the darkest face, seemingly quite angry!

The reason is simple: he was the last to know.

In her eyes, her ideal son-in-law, Ling Yun, was not only a complete womanizer!

While enjoying a passionate affair with Leilei, he also won over three other beauties.

Among them was my cousin's daughter, the stunningly beautiful Da Meiyuan, who played a modern-day Ehuang and Nüying role, and I'm guessing she was almost dying of beauty!

What's worse, Da Meiyuan is pregnant, and Lei Lei knows everything about it and calmly accepts this awkward relationship!

Tolerable or unbearable!

When Leilei's father found out about this, he was so angry he almost died on the spot!

He didn't even have the mind to show everyone around and show off his family's large courtyard house. Instead, he stormed off with several pairs of parents to Houhai to settle scores with Ling Yun!

If they hadn't known that Ling Yun was reporting on work and having a meeting in the lake, they would have bombarded his phone with calls long ago!

"Damn it, just like my buddy guessed, we've been completely exposed."

Ling Yun sighed inwardly, his face instantly turning as bitter as if he had just eaten several pounds of bitter herbs.

He stopped and hesitated for three to five seconds before turning around and walking into the second courtyard towards his father and the others!

The moment he turned around, he immediately put on a bright smile and quickly tried to make amends!

"Rescheduling the meeting with Director Li seems acceptable. Compared to that, having tea and chatting with my uncles is more important!"

Before the words were finished, a burst of giggles suddenly came from behind the door of the living room in the east wing.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! This guy's a real actor; no wonder he wanted to acquire a film company!"

"Coward Baodan, I never expected him to be this cowardly. It's hilarious!"

Without a doubt, the three people eavesdropping in the living room of the east wing were Da Meiyuan, Lei Lei, and the other girl.

The east wing is Lingyun's room, so it's perfectly normal for them to stay there!

The only abnormal thing is that they seem to have been temporarily deprived of the right to use mobile phones and landlines, and can only stay in the east wing to watch the play!

Upon hearing the laughter, Ling Yun immediately turned to look at the east wing!

Hearing Da Meiyuan and the others laughing so happily, he immediately relaxed a little.

But when he turned around, what he saw was...

The door to the living room in the north room opened, and Mom came out with Da Meiyuan's mom, Lei Lei's mom, and Yanzi's mom!

Looking at the three menacing mothers-in-law on the steps, Ling Yun couldn't help but let out a silent wail!

Oh no, this is practically a three-way trial!

What happened next was exactly as he had predicted.

Three pairs of parents ganged up on him, immediately launching a three-way interrogation, with various condemnations and criticisms.

Fortunately, Lingyun had anticipated this situation and had already formulated a countermeasure, which is now finally coming in handy.

Before we knew it, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

Da Meiyuan and Leilei's parents finally left the courtyard house and went home to rest.

After seeing off Leilei's parents, who were the last to leave, Lingyun seemed to have just gone through a long and arduous battle. As soon as he entered the living room of the east wing, he collapsed onto the sofa, groaning and moaning.

"My goodness, these three pairs of fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law are too difficult to deal with. Luckily, my buddy has a strong nerve and managed to hold on."

"After what happened today, we won't have to worry about your parents objecting anymore if we're together."

Before she could finish speaking, Da Meiyuan and the others burst into laughter.

"Haha, this is the price of having women on both sides. Feels great, doesn't it?"

"Hehe, look how cowardly you were just now, it was really funny. Now you know it's not easy being a womanizer, right?"

Ling Yun smiled and opened his arms, embracing Lei Lei and Yan Zi at the same time, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Today's situation is indeed a bit unexpected. Who would have thought that Leilei's father would have such sharp eyes and actually discover our relationship?"

"Then, in a fit of anger, I gathered three sets of parents to confront me. Fortunately, my fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law were all understanding and eventually accepted me."

Before the words were even finished, the three beauties immediately started complaining in unison.

"Tch! You really have the nerve to flatter yourself. It was our parents who accepted you, you fickle radish, because the deed was done."

"Don't get too cocky. Your most important task right now is to be a human seed-planting machine, otherwise, Mom and Dad will be here in no time."

As soon as the phrase "human seed planter" came out, the three beauties could no longer hold back and immediately burst into laughter!
