Chapter 1206: Chapter 917: Little Star Extra (9)_2

After Little Star finished packing briefly, she hurried out. At this time, You Jingyi had already called a taxi at the door. "Let’s go." He said as he took her suitcase and got into the car.

Throughout the journey, neither of them spoke. Little Star just didn’t know what to say to him because their current relationship was quite awkward.

When they arrived, You Jingyi busily helped her buy a ticket, catching just the right flight.

Before leaving, You Jingyi suddenly raised his hand to brush away the stray hairs before her eyes, saying softly, "Take care of yourself on the road."

"Mm, I will. Thank you for sending me off today." Little Star didn’t expect this gesture, feeling a little uneasy and tilting her head slightly.

Seeing the necklace around her neck, You Jingyi’s eyes held a touch of warmth, and he said, "I’ll wait for you to come back."

Once he said this, Little Star’s face burned again, feeling some embarrassment as she hurried away.

When Little Star returned home, it was the day of the burial of her great-grandfather. Brother Shuo, Brother Yangyang, Dingding, and Tuantuan had all come back. Even Aunt Lele from H City and Uncle Bai Jun had brought Xiao Hui.

She was the only one missing, but luckily, she managed to come back. The atmosphere at home was heavy. Great-Grandpa had been particularly good to them when they were young. However, ever since going out for school, they hadn’t come back often, and now he suddenly passed away like this. Little Star felt exceptionally sorrowful.

Mom said that Great-Grandpa was old. He didn’t have any major illnesses, but he constantly had minor ones, which were hard to treat over a long time.

After Great-Grandpa was buried, they stayed at Second Grandpa’s house for the night before returning home.

It was rare for her to come home, so she thought she’d stay a few days before going back.

"Xiao Yi, Mom really made inquiries in the past few days and found a family living in the compound. The man is surnamed Han and is in his forties. The woman is surnamed Lin and runs a clothing factory, and her daughter has just been studying abroad for a year." Mrs. You has been quite busy these days. It happened that Mr. You was invited to visit a business partner’s house, and Mrs. You went along. The lady of that house is an architect and a very nice person. Mrs. You chatted with her a bit and learned that her father was also in the military, which delighted her, prompting her to inquire casually.

At first, they were quite cautious, but then she mentioned Little Star’s name. Suddenly, they were surprised.

After understanding the reason, they suddenly smiled, saying it was fate.

She said the girl her son knows is the daughter of a long-time family friend.

Mrs. You didn’t expect such a coincidental thing, and it turns out that the house next to the business partner is theirs, but they don’t often reside there.

You Jingyi raised his eyebrows, surprised at his mom’s speed. "Mom, you found out?"

"Of course." Mrs. You briefly told her son how she found out, then said, "Son, I learned that they’re remarkable. Each relative is capable. Several grandpas and grandmas, uncles, and aunts are involved in various fields and are quite famous."

"Mom, did you find out clearly? Don’t make a mistake.... Oh, by the way, she went back a few days ago, saying her great-grandfather passed away."

Mrs. You heard this and slapped the table, affirming, "Son, there’s no mistake. The grandfather of the wife’s family has just been buried. That day, I heard your father say that the people who came for condolences were either high officials or influential figures from the team. A sea of green uniforms. It’s the Lin Family from Z City, son, let me tell you about it. The Lin Family has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is in the military, his wife in business. The second son is into politics, and his wife is an architect. The third daughter is a teacher, now married to a civil servant from the education bureau, at the railway bureau; both are leaders now. That’s the older generation. Now, about the younger ones, the eldest son has a son and a daughter. The son is in business, and they are well known nationwide with their logistics company. The daughter-in-law runs a restaurant and hotel with her mother-in-law. They’re famous. Their daughter, possibly your future mother-in-law, married a military man, possibly your future father-in-law, and he’s a big leader in the team now. It’s said that there’s some connection with the Mei Family in Capital City. Your mother-in-law started a clothing factory with factories in S City and Z City and is quite a renowned fashion designer, and your mom particularly likes her brand, which is famous nationwide. Not to mention, the key is their daughter has a bunch of remarkable relatives. Uncles, aunts, and cousins – there’s big bosses, lawyers, researchers, principal cadres of art troupes, screenwriters, police officers. Mom tells you, they are all remarkable. Even the business partner your dad met has quite a background. Listen to what they said, long-time family friend. Tsk, son, this time you’ve encountered a big family; we’re reaching high!"

You Jingyi listened to his mom’s ramblings for so long, feeling quite shocked himself. He hadn’t expected Little Star’s family to be so influential. If he really dated Little Star, returning to see her parents someday would make him a bit nervous.

"Mom, you’ve just praised them, but your son is not bad either."

"Of course, I know you’re not bad, but if my son wants to marry their daughter, I have to praise them heavily; otherwise, would they willingly give their beloved daughter to you? Ah, I should have had a daughter. You see, your dad has wanted a daughter for so many years, and I haven’t fulfilled his wish. I regret it now."

"What happened?"
