Chapter 1031: Chapter 1073: Forced to Be the Other Woman

"Pfft!" Aside from Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling, everyone else made a dismissive face and then turned away, ignoring Li Yifei.

"Hey, wives, I just said a while ago that I’d never fall for someone else, and now I’m getting together with Michelle. I know I’m wrong, but Michelle is really heartbroken right now. That look of exhaustion, Yingying, Fangqing, you both know it all too well. How can I be so heartless?"

But Xu Yingying and He Fangqing completely ignored Li Yifei, leaving him feeling very uneasy. If his wives were really angry, that would be a huge headache for him. He had thought that since everyone at home knew about Michelle and they all had a good relationship with her, everyone would agree, but to his surprise, their attitudes were all like this.

Xu Yingying stood up and said, "Ah, I still have a lot of work to do at the company, Fangqing, let’s go upstairs and discuss."

He Fangqing immediately stood up as well and said, "Right, this matter is indeed a bit tricky; we really need to look into it."

After saying that, the two went straight upstairs.

"Ah, I’m about to switch to a new position soon, I need to organize things too, getting ready to hand over." Ye Yunzhu said, and then she too went upstairs.

Lin Qiong gave Li Yifei a glance but didn’t say a word and went upstairs, Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao stuck out their tongues and quickly followed Lin Qiong.

Chu Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Uncle, you’re on your own now." Then she slipped away too.

Li Yifei looked at Ning Xin’er and said, "Hey, Xin’er, you’re not leaving too, are you?"

Ning Xin’er pursed her lips and smiled, "That’s something I can’t manage." Sure enough, she slipped away too.

Seeing that only Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling were left, Li Yifei gave a wry smile and said, "It seems I’ve really angered everyone."

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling had recently become close with everyone. Both shook their heads and said, "Honey, we really had no idea about this; we don’t have a say in it." Then they, too, slipped away.

Suddenly, only Xu Shanshan, Su Mengfei, and Meng Xiaofei remained in the hall.

Xu Shanshan shook her head and said, "Brother-in-law, you’re really something else, huh? Michelle finally couldn’t escape your clutches."

Li Yifei said awkwardly, "You know Michelle’s situation too. I really couldn’t refuse now. It’s not like I’m finding someone new, this is just resolving a lingering issue from the past."

Xu Shanshan curled her lip and said, "I just worry that these ’lingering issues’ will keep coming up more and more."

Li Yifei quickly said, "No, that’s absolutely not going to happen anymore. I’m clear about those with whom I have emotional ties; there really aren’t any left."

"Really not any left?" Xu Shanshan glared at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei suddenly felt guilty. Wasn’t Xu Shanshan right in front of him? But with Su Mengfei and Meng Xiaofei there, he couldn’t explain.

Meng Xiaofei then came over to Li Yifei, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a mischievous grin, "Brother Li, you’re getting bolder by the minute! There’s an increasing number of girls in the house, I’m worried that one day you might just collapse under them."

Li Yifei glared and said, "Can’t you say something nice?"

"Hehe, I’m just looking out for you. If you don’t appreciate it, fine, I’m off to hang out with Yifei."

"I’m going too!" Xu Shanshan glared at Li Yifei again and followed Meng Xiaofei.

Su Mengfei smiled warmly at Li Yifei and said, "Cousin-in-law, you really are quite the lover. I haven’t been here many days, and you’ve already added three more. If this keeps up, you’ll need to expand your place into a regiment!"

Li Yifei gave a bitter smile and said, "This is really the last one; Michelle has liked me for over a year now."

"I can see it now, anyone likes you, and you won’t refuse them, ah... men love to have plenty of women around." Sighing, Su Mengfei shook her head and sauntered off.

Left alone in the vast living room, Li Yifei felt even more worried. Though capable of facing any formidable foe with composure, the wrath of his wives was a different story, especially when so many opposed a single matter leaving him with no say at all. Finding himself finally ready to be with Michelle, only to meet such strong resistance from his own family, perhaps even greater than Michelle’s family, was a tough hurdle to face indeed.

Li Yifei was extremely frustrated at this point, but all he could do now was push the issue aside. Based on everyone’s reactions, it didn’t seem like they were seriously angry, or maybe they were just warning him.

Over the next hour or so, not everyone stayed upstairs; people would come down from time to time, walking around and chatting as usual. However, there was a difference—everyone deliberately ignored Li Yifei. It was treatment Li Yifei had never received before, and all he could do was try to please them repeatedly, only to be rebuffed each time.

Just after three o’clock, the unbearable situation finally came to an end. Zheng Yuling and Ning Xin’er came out, and Ning Xin’er smiled and said, "Honey, shouldn’t we be leaving now?"

Finally, someone acknowledged him. Li Yifei immediately replied excitedly, "Yes, yes, let’s go right away."

Li Yifei then realized that everyone was just showing him some attitude deliberately to keep him from messing around again in the future. In fact, regarding Michelle’s issue, they were not genuinely opposed. If they had been, their attitude would have been different.

"Where are we going to eat?" after getting into the car, Zheng Yuling asked with a smile.

While buckling his seatbelt, Li Yifei responded, "If we want something romantic, I think the Western restaurant is nice. How about we go there for dinner?"

"That sounds good, let’s go have Western food then," Ning Xin’er agreed.

Li Yifei said, "I know a Western restaurant here that’s really good. They serve authentic French cuisine. Let’s go there."

"Great, I love foie gras and caviar," Zheng Yuling immediately responded.

"Yes, in a French restaurant, the foie gras and caviar are the tastiest," Ning Xin’er chimed in.

Heh-heh, Li Yifei laughed, "I still prefer French lobster though. It has the most meat, and that’s what really tastes good."

Ning Xin’er gave Li Yifei a look and said, "We can’t eat that much, so it’s better to keep it simple. The main point is to enjoy the ambiance."

Zheng Yuling added, "Honey, you aren’t lacking in taste, are you?"

Li Yifei laughed, "Whether I have taste or not, I have to show some today, otherwise my wives wouldn’t think highly of me."

Eating at a high-end French restaurant generally involves a great expense; ordinary people really can’t afford it. A genuine French feast could even cost hundreds of thousands. Of course, in a place like Mile City, even if there’s a French restaurant, it might not have everything, but signature items like caviar, baked snails, lobster, and foie gras are indispensable.

Sitting in the restaurant, listening to the soothing piano music, sipping red wine, and slowly savoring various exquisite delicacies was definitely a romantic affair to many women.

For rich girls like Zheng Yuling and Ning Xin’er, dining in a French restaurant was nothing unusual, but enjoying a meal there with Li Yifei was quite a treat.

The best spot in a French restaurant isn’t a private room but the main hall. Dining there had a more refined ambiance, and those who dine there are expected to maintain decorum. Even the rudest guests would put on a cultured façade to avoid revealing their coarseness. In such an environment, dining indeed had a special charm, and Zheng Yuling and Ning Xin’er occasionally cast affectionate glances at Li Yifei while eating the delicious food; it was truly quite enjoyable.

"Fuck, are you agreeing or not?" Suddenly, a man’s rough voice broke the ambiance, causing everyone to look toward the middle of the room, where a man and a woman were sitting. The man, in his forties with a large belly and an oily face, was glaring at the woman sitting across from him.

The woman, dressed in a simple, cheap-looking long dress, had her head bowed, her long black hair covering her face, concealing her features. Her slight shoulders were trembling, evoking a feeling of pity.

"Are you mute? Just say yes or no, my money doesn’t just blow in with the wind. Agree, and I’ll pay for your college, but if you don’t, I couldn’t care less about you."

Finally, the girl lifted her head, revealing an extremely delicate face—a beauty indeed, her frail demeanor resembling that of Su Yiyi.

"Sir, please, I can help you with household chores, or I could tutor your son. Would you sponsor my education then?"

"I could just hire a maid for chores or find a teacher for tutoring at school, couldn’t I? I’m offering you a chance since I pity you. I don’t need you around all the time, just a few days a month. Plus, when I have social obligations, you can accompany me—what’s the big deal?"

"Sir, I really can’t do this, I... I can’t be a mistress."

Once everyone heard this, they understood the situation—the man intended to finance the woman’s education in exchange for her becoming his mistress, but the woman still resisted.

Having a mistress wasn’t unusual nowadays, but for a man to coerce a woman like this was certainly despicable. Additionally, the vulnerability of the woman only garnered more sympathy;it would indeed be a shame for such a woman to become a mistress to such a corpulent man.
