Chapter 372: Chapter 379 The Big Star’s Enemy

Li Yifei would never have imagined that a dropped box of condoms could betray his identity.

Of course, this was also absolutely a coincidence. If anyone else had picked up the box, it would have been utterly useless. They certainly wouldn’t think to do a fingerprint comparison. Even if another police officer happened to find the box and did a fingerprint comparison, they wouldn’t go on to obtain Li Yifei’s fingerprints.

The most important factor was Lin Qiong, who had seen him numerous times and had seen the mysterious person a few times, managed to overlap the two in her mind, ultimately discovering that the mysterious person was in fact Li Yifei.

Although Lin Qiong had suspected that Li Yifei was the mysterious person, she was still deeply shocked when she saw the proof. That playful and smiling Li Yifei, who was indulgent in life, turned out to be such a powerful individual. There was no way Lin Qiong could reconcile the two images.

But fingerprint comparison doesn’t make mistakes. The mysterious person was definitely Li Yifei. Lin Qiong didn’t plan to tell anyone this secret. Now, Lin Qiong was suddenly conflicted about how to treat Li Yifei.

To the mysterious person, Lin Qiong felt admiration, which was an admiration for power and capability. As for Li Yifei, Lin Qiong couldn’t quite pinpoint her feelings. If she said she liked him, every conversation with this guy would infuriate her, even drive her half mad. If she said she didn’t like him, she would still think about him from time to time. Happy or unhappy, he was always the first person she thought of to confide in.

So, combining the two made Lin Qiong feel incredibly conflicted.

For the entire day, Lin Qiong stayed at home and didn’t go out, didn’t even eat. Until four in the afternoon, she suddenly had an epiphany, and a smile appeared on her face, then she burst into laughter a few times, seemingly very excited.

Nor could anyone know what exactly she was thinking.

At this moment, Li Yifei was unaware that Lin Qiong had already discovered he was the mysterious person. He had just arrived with Xu Shanshan at a villa on the outskirts of the city.

The main building of the villa had three floors and covered roughly one thousand square meters. Additionally, there were two smaller annex buildings and a garage. The yard itself spanned about five acres, that is over three thousand square meters, filled with lush green trees and colorful flowers, neat lawns, all exuding the grandeur and prestige of the villa.

Such a villa, if located in Capital City or any first-tier city, would be worth hundreds of millions. Even in Mile City, those who could own such a villa were definitely few.

This wasn’t a question of money. Constructing such a villa would certainly cost a hefty sum, but the difficulty lay in obtaining the land approvals. Without the appropriate status, no amount of money could secure a plot for building such a villa.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan had driven there, but not in the flashy Porsche. Instead, they used a Mercedes from the company.

A Mercedes 350L, which was already quite a nice car. Although it wasn’t the top configuration, including all the fees and insurance, it would cost nearly a million. Generally, it would definitely look impressive going out.

But in this place, the Mercedes 350L didn’t stand out much. Here, there were several more Mercedes and BMWs, with extremely high configurations, and a few more prestigious sports cars—Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini—all appeared here.

"Wow, so our principal is really something," Xu Shanshan couldn’t help but exclaim before even entering the yard, seeing the cars parked at the gate.

"Yeah," Li Yifei said with a smile, "it looks quite impressive. Seems like your job has a lot of prospects."

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "I don’t care much for any job, nor making a lot of money. Happiness is all that matters. By the way, brother-in-law, we have an agreement that here you can’t say you’re my brother-in-law. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be laughed at by others."

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "I know."

On the way here, Xu Shanshan had pleaded with Li Yifei to pretend to be her boyfriend, which made him cry and laugh. Why did both sisters come up with this act? However, after Xu Shanshan’s persistent cajoling, he couldn’t refuse and ended up agreeing.

Of course, Xu Shanshan’s actions would avoid entanglements by some people. Li Yifei was very aware of Xu Shanshan’s charm, which would definitely attract many men. And now, there would surely be some Rich Second Generation and wealthy people here. If they got entangled with Xu Shanshan, it would be quite troublesome. So, pretending to be Xu Shanshan’s boyfriend now didn’t seem so bad to him anymore.

At the gate, a girl in her twenties came over to greet them, excitedly saying, "Shanshan, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for so long. Hey, who is this?"

Xu Shanshan linked arms with Li Yifei naturally and with poise, saying with a smiling face, "Let me introduce you. This is Cui Yueying, a good friend from my new workplace. Yueying, this is my boyfriend, Li Yifei."

"Such a handsome boyfriend, no wonder you didn’t care about the male teachers in our school who pursued you," Cui Yueying immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Li Yifei shook hands with Cui Yueying, showing great politeness. However, he was well aware that despite being considered alright overall, he wasn’t so handsome as to make girls scream in excitement.

Xu Shanshan sweetly leaned her head against Li Yifei’s shoulder and said, "Yeah, that’s exactly what I think, too."

Cui Yueying giggled and said, "Alright then, let’s go in. I just saw several big stars, you know? Even Ning Xin’er is here."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes immediately lit up as she excitedly asked, "Really? For real?"

"Of course, it’s true. Did you see that? The sky-blue Lamborghini over there is hers. I wanted to ask for her autograph, but just now everyone was crowding around her, and I couldn’t get close to her at all. After we go in, I need to get her autograph."

"I want one too! Ning Xin’er, just thinking about it is exciting."

The two were talking excitedly, paying no attention to Li Yifei, whose smile now seemed a bit unnatural.

The three of them entered the villa’s gate, and someone led them to the yard in front of the three-story building. At that moment, rows of tables were set up on the grass, lined with food and drinks, and several people in white uniforms were there specially to serve the guests.

Groups were gathered in twos and threes, each holding a glass of wine, and from time to time laughter erupted.

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Cui, over here." Someone called out to Xu Shanshan and Cui Yueying, who quickly walked over.

These people were teachers from the school, and in this party, they seemed to be the most ordinary group.

Principal Wang Jiuzhe was indeed a social celebrity, and he had students everywhere, but the teachers in his art school were mostly ordinary people. In such a setting, they felt somewhat out of place, with too many celebrities and stars around, so they didn’t dare approach and could only gather to chat quietly, their eyes revealing a mix of envy and jealousy.

Li Yifei noticed that Xu Shanshan was quite popular among the people at the school, as everyone was greeting her. Xu Shanshan, too, responded with a smile, as familiar with middle-aged men in their forties as with young men in their twenties.

This was characteristic of Xu Shanshan’s personality. She wasn’t like her sister—so noble and imposing that people were afraid to approach. Being with Xu Shanshan, everyone could feel relaxed.

Xu Shanshan introduced Li Yifei to everyone, and immediately everyone teased her a bit. Xu Shanshan just laughed and, far from getting angry, she appeared very happy, holding onto Li Yifei’s arm without letting go.

After all the greetings were done, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan sat down at the edge of a table. Li Yifei immediately whispered, "Shanshan, I’m not really comfortable in this setting. I think I’ll leave now."

Xu Shanshan looked surprised at Li Yifei and said, "You’re kidding, right? You just got here and now you want to leave?"

Li Yifei glanced at the celebrities and said, "Seeing those stars, I feel really pressured."

Xu Shanshan’s expressive eyes surveyed Li Yifei up and down and said, "Tell me, brother-in-law, is there someone here you don’t want to meet?"

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh and said, "Shanshan, you’re just too smart. There’s an enemy of mine here."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes widened in shock as she said, "No way! You have an enemy here? Who is it? I’ll go beat them up for you."

Li Yifei pointed to a group of people who had just come out of the villa and said, "It’s that Ning Xin’er."

"What?" Xu Shanshan’s eyes grew even wider, staring at Li Yifei as if she were looking at an alien.

Li Yifei was startled and quickly crouched down, almost lying on the table, as he said, "Keep your voice down, don’t let her see me."

At this point, Xu Shanshan burst into laughter and said, "Brother-in-law, you’re really too funny. Ning Xin’er is like one of our country’s top ten big stars, with the best personality. How could you possibly make an enemy of her? Even if you’re trying to tease me, you could pick someone else, right?"

Li Yifei’s face darkened. It’s true that Ning Xin’er was known for her good nature in public, smiling at everyone, but only those who really knew her understood that this woman was truly not to be messed with, and was incredibly domineering. He said, "I’m not joking. I really have a conflict with her, and if she catches me, I’m dead."

By now, Xu Shanshan was already leaning on the table, trying not to laugh out loud and appear rude. Holding her stomach with one hand and patting Li Yifei’s shoulder with the other, she said, "Brother-in-law... I had no idea you had such a sense of humor."
