Chapter 363: Chapter 370: What Should A Family Fear

"Alright, alright, let’s not count it then." Li Yifei chuckled and agreed, then raised his glass and said, "Shanshan, that’s about enough, let’s head back."

Xu Yingying also immediately said, "Yeah, it’s already past nine, I’ve still got things to handle when I get back."

Xu Shanshan pouted and said, "How about drinking a bit longer?"

Xu Yingying hurriedly said, "If you drink any more, you’ll get too drunk, and your brother-in-law isn’t going anywhere. Whenever you want to drink in the future, just let your brother-in-law keep you company."

Xu Shanshan was still a bit reluctant, but at that moment she could only pout and say, "Alright, alright."

Xu Yingying immediately signaled the waiter to come over for the check. After paying, she stood up, and Li Yifei also stood up, but Xu Shanshan rushed to say, "Wait for me a moment, I have to put on my shoes."

Xu Yingying frowned and said, "You really are something, taking off your shoes even when you’re eating. Don’t you have any sense of image left?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "There’s no one else here, just you and my brother-in-law. Why do I need to worry so much about my image?"

"Hmph, that’s still no good. You’ve been out all day, don’t your feet have a smell? It’s really affecting my appetite."

Xu Shanshan blinked at Li Yifei and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you think my feet have a smell?"

Li Yifei suddenly broke into a sweat and hurriedly said, "Not at all."

Xu Shanshan immediately said proudly, "See, even my brother-in-law says so. You’re the only one with such fussy problems."

Li Yifei felt even more of a headache, as Xu Shanshan’s mischief was truly too much to handle. To ask him such a question, especially since Xu Shanshan’s feet had been inside his pant leg earlier, was quite something. Yet, in asking this way, she indeed prevented Xu Yingying from overthinking things. Shanshan’s mental tactics were not bad.

Sure enough, Xu Yingying did not think much of it and said helplessly, "Alright, I can’t be bothered with you anymore. Let’s go, hurry home."

Xu Shanshan took a few steps but stumbled, nearly falling over. Li Yifei, with quick reflexes, immediately caught her.

Xu Yingying also rushed to support Shanshan from the other side, frowning as she said, "I told you not to drink so much, but you just had to."

Xu Shanshan chuckled and said, "I haven’t been this happy in a long time. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day? I’ve been looking forward to you two getting into bed, then finding out that it was all fake before - that would have been so funny. But I waited and waited, and you two just wouldn’t do it. It was driving me crazy. Today, I finally got what I was waiting for, how could I not be excited?"

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying immediately turned glum, understanding what it feels like when someone commits an act, knowing it will lead to an amusing consequence, yet stubbornly refrains from following through, leaving one in an itch they cannot scratch.

"Giggle, so I’m happy today, it’s been such fun. I don’t even know if I’ll find something more entertaining than this in the future."

Li Yifei smirked and said, "With this one time, you nearly played me to death. If you pull another stunt like this, I might not die, but I’ll definitely come out worse for the wear."

Xu Shanshan leaned heavily on Li Yifei’s arm and blinked at him, saying, "Brother-in-law, that’s not necessarily the case."

A sudden thump in his heart, Li Yifei pondered. Xu Shanshan had been teasing him for some time now; could it be another trick up her sleeve? He’d have to be more cautious. Otherwise, if he fell for her scheme again, it would really be the death of him.

Li Yifei, supporting Xu Shanshan, watched as Xu Yingying let go since she was now carrying all three of their bags. There wasn’t anything heavy, but managing three bags was quite a handful, so she simply stopped supporting Shanshan.

If it had been before, Xu Yingying would have been upset to see Li Yifei so close to Shanshan, worried about what might happen between them. But now, since Shanshan had helped bring her and Li Yifei together, Xu Yingying no longer suspected that Shanshan had any interest in Li Yifei. The closeness to Li Yifei was acceptable now that he was her brother-in-law, and with Shanshan being so drunk, Xu Yingying could not blame her.

The three of them thus left the private room, but upon exiting, they ran into Song Ziqiao.

He was no longer serving as Deputy County Head and had also been confined at home for some time, feeling utterly frustrated. He knew very well that his future prospects were ruined, and there was no longer any chance for him to be valued by his family again.

And all of this was because of that bastard Li Yifei, so after being released by his family, Song Ziqiao went straight to Mile City, determined to find a way to properly deal with Li Yifei and soothe the hatred in his heart. Today, he had dinner with a few fair-weather friends from Mile City, but just after the meal, he ran into Li Yifei.

Seeing Li Yifei, Song Ziqiao’s eyes turned green with envy. It was Li Yifei who had brought him to this low state. If it weren’t for that scumbag Li Yifei, he would never be in such a plight. He was taken down directly by the city authorities, and his family naturally wanted to clarify what had happened. They found out through certain channels that Li Yifei’s backing came from the Capital City and it belonged to a big family that their provincial family couldn’t afford to provoke.

Song Ziqiao was aware of these things, but he was still not willing to give in. In his eyes, how formidable could a family from Capital City be compared to his? Surely, they could not be more influential than his own family. Besides, Li Yifei was not the direct heir of that big family, so even if they dealt with that kid, could the big family really trouble his for it?

But now he couldn’t do anything to Li Yifei. Having been bested once, this kid had learned his lesson. Another direct conflict with Li Yifei, and he would be at the losing end again, so he learned to be patient. Then he would find a way to properly take care of his arch-enemy, Li Yifei. Yet, his fiery gaze kept glancing towards Li Yifei from time to time.

"Young Master Song, those two chicks are pretty hot, and they’re twins to boot," said a man in his twenties next to him, his eyes sweeping over Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, grinning as he spoke.

Another fellow immediately laughed and said, "No kidding, didn’t you see Young Master Song’s eyes almost pop out of his head?"

The voices of these two speaking were not low, and they were somewhat unrestrained. Both of them came from wealthy and influential families, and they never took others seriously on ordinary days. Even though Li Yifei and the Xu twins Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan appeared in the Yiyun Clubhouse, they still didn’t care.

Song Ziqiao recognized Xu Yingying and knew that her status was not something ordinary people could provoke. However, his fair-weather friends, who never applied themselves to learning, did not recognize Xu Yingying.

This turned out to be a very well-exploitable opportunity. He immediately shook his head and let out a sigh, saying, "All right, stop it. I’m feeling uncomfortable." Then he turned and left.

The few fellows immediately followed him. In Mile City, these guys indeed had some influence, but compared to someone from a big provincial family like Song Ziqiao, they were far behind. Plus, although Song Ziqiao was currently cast aside by his family, the Song Family certainly would not publicize that, so in their eyes, they still looked up to Song Ziqiao.

As for the reason behind Song Ziqiao leaving Mile City, besides a few city leaders who understood the situation, the rest of the people had no clue as to why Song Ziqiao suddenly left Mile City. And upon his return, he certainly did not publicize such embarrassing matters, so others were even more in the dark.

Song Ziqiao led the few people away from Li Yifei and their sight, and then he let out a sigh, saying, "You guys just drop it. I already had my eyes on those two chicks, but I got called back this time and didn’t get the chance to make a move. Moreover, our family patriarch said it’s a critical time for me and I can’t mess around, so I can only watch that kid hang out with those two chicks."

"Damn it, Young Master Song, who are you and who is that kid to dare to compete with you for women!" one of the lads immediately said indignantly with his eyes widening.

Song Ziqiao made a face and said, "That kid is just a minor manager at Dreamfly Company, not worth a damn."

Hearing Song Ziqiao say this, those lads looked down on Li Yifei even more. Another one quickly said, "Young Master Song, are you still interested in those two chicks?"

"What can my interest do? One of them is Xu Yingying, the general manager of Dreamfly Corporation and her status is not low. I can’t act rashly, and the other is her younger sister. Even though she just teaches dance at a dance school, she is still Xu Yingying’s sister," said Song Ziqiao, who was well aware of the details regarding the people around Li Yifei. Saying this deliberately, he was egging on those ignorant fools.

These fellows also knew about Dreamfly Corporation and were aware that it was gaining traction in the city. They had heard some about Xu Yingying’s reputation, but they still did not take her seriously. One of them said, "Young Master Song, Xu Yingying may be the manager of Dreamfly Corporation, but in the end, she’s just an employee, what’s so great about that?"

"I know they’re not a big deal, but I still have to be cautious. If it affects my future, it would be a huge loss," he replied.

"So are you still interested in these two women?"

"Nonsense, I’ve had my eye on them for a long time, and I’ve been envious," he said.

"Well, that’s easy, leave it to us brothers. We’ll certainly take care of those two women for Young Master Song, but don’t forget us afterward, okay?"

Song Ziqiao was elated and thumped his chest, saying, "If you could really do that, I, Song Ziqiao, will certainly watch over you guys in the future."

Since now he couldn’t directly deal with Li Yifei, he would target the women close to him instead. If he could get his hands on Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, who were quite close to Li Yifei, he would surely infuriate Li Yifei to death. Thinking of this, he was uncontrollably excited.

The Xu twins, Yingying and Shanshan, were top-notch. If he could really get them, it would be an especially thrilling affair for him.

The group of lads hanging out with Song Ziqiao were old hands at this kind of thing. Ideas came readily to them, and soon they had a plan in place and burst into loud laughter together.
