Chapter 1009: Chapter 1050: Consoling Meng Xiaofei

Li Yifei thought Meng Xiaofei was a Meng Family Member for a reason. Meng Xiaofei had mentioned before that she was from a major family and left early because she disliked the atmosphere at home. The only prominent family named Meng seemed to be the one in Capital City.

After Li Yifei killed Meng Xiaojun and returned to Mile City, Meng Xiaofei also happened to return to Mile City and mentioned that she attended a friend’s funeral. It was clear that she must have attended Meng Xiaojun’s funeral. Although she didn’t like the Meng Family, Meng Xiaojun was still her relative. Even if they weren’t siblings, they could have been cousins.

Moreover, after Meng Xiaofei returned, when Li Yifei carried her back to her room, the sleep talk Meng Xiaofei uttered included saying she didn’t want to harm him. It seemed that the Meng Family knew about Meng Xiaofei’s relationship with him and wanted her to do something that could harm him. However, remembering Li Yifei’s kindness, she didn’t want to do such a thing.

At this moment, Li Yifei held no resentment towards Meng Xiaofei and was actually very sympathetic. For someone as straightforward as Meng Xiaofei to be involved in such a situation was utterly difficult. The dilemma and the struggle made it even harder for her to bear.

The next morning, when Li Yifei went to eat, Meng Xiaofei, who usually greeted him spiritedly, was notably evasive, not acting as carefree as she had been the night before. This led Li Yifei to guess that Meng Xiaofei must have received another urgent message from the Meng Family, making her unable to face him.

With some time left before the meal, Li Yifei smiled and said to Meng Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, I need to talk to you about something."

"Huh?" Meng Xiaofei gasped, turning her head away to avoid Li Yifei’s gaze and chuckled, "I have nothing to say."

Li Yifei tapped on the top of Meng Xiaofei’s head and said, "You might have nothing, but I do. Come on, let’s talk in your room."

"I...I’d rather not," Meng Xiaofei murmured with her head down.

"What do you mean ’no’? Are you even daring to disobey your brother now?" Li Yifei, without further discussion, pulled Meng Xiaofei into the room and locked the door behind him.

This made Meng Xiaofei extremely nervous. She stammered, "Brother Li, what... what do you want to say? Why did you lock the door?"

Li Yifei looked at Meng Xiaofei, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and spoke softly, "Xiaofei, you silly girl, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"

"I...I..." Meng Xiaofei started, with her eyes reddening.

With an even gentler and apologetic tone, Li Yifei continued, "Silly girl, I know you’re a Meng Family Member, I know Meng Xiaojun was your brother. If I had thought it through, for your sake, I would have certainly spared his life."

Meng Xiaofei’s lips trembled slightly as she said, "You knew?"

"You’re not good at lying. When you’re troubled, it’s clear to see. Ironically, it was my lack of attention that made others remind me of your connection to the Meng Family."

Meng Xiaofei’s nose twitched, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes before streaming down her cheeks. She sobbed, "Brother Li, you’ve been really good to me, not like them, who just want to force me to do things I don’t want to do."

"I know it’s hard for you. On one side, there’s your blood family, and on the other, there’s me. Hehe, do I think that I am more important to you than your own family?"

Meng Xiaofei shook her head vigorously and said, "Not at all! Though I have two blood brothers and several cousins, none of them have truly made me feel cared for like brothers. Only you, Brother Li, have truly provided me the caring and pampering akin to an elder brother. In my heart, you’re much closer than they are."

As she spoke, Meng Xiaofei rested her head on Li Yifei’s chest and began sobbing loudly.

Li Yifei did not stop her, but instead gently patted her back. He knew she had been holding back her emotions these past few days. If she didn’t let it out, he feared she might fall ill.

Meng Xiaofei’s crying grew louder until she was nearly wailing, but after about a minute, her cries softened and eventually stopped.

Lifting her head, Meng Xiaofei wiped away her tears and flashed Li Yifei a smile, saying, "Brother Li, crying it out really made me feel a lot better."

With a smile, Li Yifei said, "Yes, you’re not someone who can keep things bottled up. Don’t hold back in the future. If there’s anything, just tell me, and I’ll help you sort it out."

"Mmm!" Meng Xiaofei nodded vigorously and added, "I’ve made up my mind. Although they are my blood relatives, the things they want me to do are meant to harm you, and I can’t let that happen. If something happened to you, then no one would take care of me."

"If you disobey them, you are betraying your family," Li Yifei said as he wiped away her tears.

"I’m not afraid. I’ve betrayed them before, and I’ve been fine on my own for many years. Life has been happier with you more than it ever was with them. If they are upset and don’t want me anymore, then let it be, because you won’t abandon me, right?"

"Yes, are you my sister? If you don’t want to get married, I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life."

"I knew my brother was the best to me, hee hee, never mind, I’m changing my phone number today so they can’t find me."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Xiaofei, there’s another question I need to ask you."

"What question?" Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "No matter what the question is, I’ll answer it."

Li Yifei gave a brief smile, but immediately turned serious and said, "Xiaofei, I won’t hide it from you, there’s bound to be a conflict with the Meng Family, it’s just a matter of time. If that day really comes, I’m really afraid it’ll be tough for you."

This time, Meng Xiaofei responded quite casually, "What’s so tough about that? They fight with this family and that family every day. There are always wins and losses. If they lose to you, that’s normal too."

"What if, because of the fight, someone gets hurt... like Meng Xiaojun losing his life?"

"That... well, whatever then. They are always like that. Helping you, I feel guilty for the gratitude I owe them; helping them, I feel guilty for how good you’ve been to me. So, I might as well help neither side and just do what makes me happy. Life’s only a few decades long; why not just enjoy it while I’m young? Why care so much?"

Li Yifei didn’t know whether to say Meng Xiaofei was open-minded or heartless, but he had to admit, such people lived happier lives. Those who carry burdens in their hearts live tired lives.

"Mm, it’s good you think this way, but out of consideration for you, I’ll try to show some mercy to the Meng Family."

"Hee hee, that works too. Then I can go home and brag, telling them if it wasn’t for me, Meng Xiaofei, having a good brother like you, they’d all be finished, haha... That would be so cool."

Li Yifei’s face darkened instantly; Meng Xiaofei’s heart was indeed very big.

Li Yifei patted Meng Xiaofei’s shoulder and said, "Alright, if you can think this way, then let’s go out for a meal."

Meng Xiaofei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, eating is most important."

Li Yifei held onto Meng Xiaofei and said, "Look at you, switching between crying and laughing. Your face is all smeared. You better clean up quickly."

Meng Xiaofei exclaimed and quickly pulled out a tissue, wiping her face, while Li Yifei looked around the room, frowning and said, "I’m really fed up with you, I don’t know who would be unlucky enough to marry you; this place always looks like a dog’s nest."

Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I just won’t get married."

Li Yifei shook his head and went to help Meng Xiaofei tidy up, picking up a pile of undergarments like panties, bras, and stockings in an instant. Fortunately, Li Yifei was used to seeing these things; otherwise, imagining Meng Xiaofei wearing them could really make his nose bleed.

"Are these cleaned?" asked Li Yifei as he casually looked around.

"I don’t know, I’ll wash them later," Meng Xiaofei said, slightly embarrassed.

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "You should leave it to the maid, you lazy pig."

Meng Xiaofei grinned and said, "Yes, yes, I’m a lazy pig, or why else would I cling to a good brother like Brother Li who treats me well and never leave? I’m afraid there won’t be another chance like this. Here’s another one." Meng Xiaofei pulled out a pair of underwear from under her pillow and threw it directly at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei, completely unprepared, had it smack onto his face and quickly peeled it off, both annoyed and amused, saying, "You girl, throwing your underwear at my face."

Meng Xiaofei laughed heartily and said, "It’s quite fun, maybe next time I’ll put underwear on your head, that would look really cool."

Li Yifei was speechless, wondering if this girl could ever behave, show some restraint, or act a bit more ladylike. But he also knew, for the rest of her life, Meng Xiaofei was unlikely to change, and he could only let it be.

From entering to leaving, Li Yifei didn’t ask Meng Xiaofei how exactly the Meng Family planned to deal with him. It would have been difficult for her, or rather, it would have forced her to take his side. Although he knew that if he asked, Meng Xiaofei would definitely tell him, he didn’t want to put her in a tough position.

After the two came out, no one asked much. They had heard the cries from inside, and seeing Meng Xiaofei come out all smiles, they knew that Li Yifei had resolved her troubles, and that was
