Chapter 452: Chapter 359: Ye Xu Alliance

Ye Yunzhu didn’t let Xu Yingying drive, since Xu Yingying’s state was simply too awful at the moment. So, she took the initiative to drive, occasionally glancing at Xu Yingying while driving. Xu Yingying kept her head turned, staring out of the window as if she hadn’t moved at all.

Ye Yunzhu parked the car by the side of the road and let out a gentle sigh, saying, "Yingying."

Xu Yingying, bitter and oblivious, continued to stare blankly outside.

Ye Yunzhu reached out and gently pushed Xu Yingying, who then jolted and turned her head around, at first appearing somewhat dazed, then forcing a smile and said, "What’s up?"

Ye Yunzhu spoke apologetically, "Yingying, I’m really sorry. I meant to help you, but now I’ve just added salt to your wound."

Xu Yingying took a deep breath, her eyes no longer dull, and said, "Yunzhu, it’s not your fault. It’s my own doing. Marrying Yifei, we actually didn’t have any real emotional foundation, and Yifei was forced into marrying me. In truth, you were the ones who got hurt."

"But now... now you and Yifei are married, and we..."

"It’s alright, I’ve come to terms with it. In doing this, I’m actually being unfair to Yifei. He wasn’t ready for marriage at all, and yet I forced him to become my husband. This is the bitter fruit of my own making, so I can only swallow it myself."

"Yingying, don’t say that. If Yifei didn’t care about you, he definitely would have left you after finding out I was pregnant. But he didn’t do that, which means he really cares about you."

"Ah... He knows the child in your belly is his?" Xu Yingying suddenly exclaimed a bit uncomposedly.

"Of course, he does. That bastard got me pregnant and then ran off to marry you. At that time, I really wanted to chop him up to alleviate my anger. But every time I see him, I can’t bring myself to stay angry. Who can blame him, when the child was also conceived when we weren’t prepared. I can’t blame him."

"Then... he found out about your child after marrying me, right?" Xu Yingying asked nervously.

"Yes, he married you, and I didn’t plan to tell him about the child. Still, he figured it out. He knows I’m not one to sleep around, so how could I be pregnant with someone else’s child?"

Xu Yingying clenched her fists subconsciously, her throat feeling a little dry, her voice even a bit hoarse as she asked, "What did he say to you at the time?"

Ye Yunzhu looked at Xu Yingying and said with a faint smile, "It seems you still can’t let him go."

Xu Yingying felt a bit uncomfortable under Ye Yunzhu’s gaze but still met her eyes and said, "Like you said, a first love is the hardest to forget. Yifei is my husband and also my first love. No matter how many mistakes he’s made, how could I just let go easily?"

Ye Yunzhu nodded and said, "It seems you can’t let go either. When you said you could, I was considering fighting it out with Ning Xin’er, but now you’ve turned back, and I feel a bit embarrassed."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Xu Yingying’s mouth as she said, "I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking clearly then. But the final decision on this matter still lies with Yifei. If he truly chooses you, I won’t hold any grudges. After all, you’re carrying his child, but..."

"But what?" Ye Yunzhu looked at Xu Yingying with interest.

"But if Yifei ultimately stays with me, then we will definitely take responsibility for your child. I will treat him no differently than my own."

"Wow, I really have to admire you for that. No matter what, you are Yifei’s legal wife now. If you don’t agree to a divorce, neither of us can do anything."

"I, Xu Yingying, am not that lacking in self-respect either. If Yifei doesn’t want to be with me, it’s pointless for me to cling onto him."

"Just for that, I, Ye Yunzhu, am willing to make friends with you. No matter who ends up with that jerk in the end, I’ve decided that you’re my friend."

"Since you haven’t used the child to threaten me, I’m also willing to become your friend."

Their hands came together and held each other, genuinely feeling a sort of kindred spirit.

They shared a smile, then released hands. Ye Yunzhu furrowed her brows and said, "We can discuss our issues later. The most pressing matter is Li Yifei, that jerk. He actually ran off to Ning Xin’er’s place. The first thing we need to do is drag this guy back."

By now, Xu Yingying’s mood wasn’t so gloomy anymore. Crossing her arms, she said, "He’s with Ning Xin’er, so we’re not too worried. But since he’s not answering our calls and nobody can find him, even if we want to drag him back, it’s going to be difficult. We can’t just go to Ning Xin’er’s house and snatch him back, can we?"

Ye Yunzhu narrowed her eyes and said, "I do have a method. We could leak the news that Ning Xin’er is staying there. Once the media and some fans get wind of it, they’ll definitely flock to her door. That way, Li Yifei, that bastard, won’t be able to stay there even if he wants to."

Xu Yingying thought for a moment and said, "I’m afraid that might not be a good idea. If Ning Xin’er simply acknowledges her relationship with Yifei, it would actually leave Yifei with even less room to maneuver."

Ye Yunzhu frowned and said, "That’s true. Right now, we really can’t corner that bastard Yifei into a dead end."

Xu Yingying continued, "Yeah, that’s why we can’t force the issue between him and Ning Xin’er. It would be best to get Yifei to meet with us so we can have a proper talk."

"Humph, just thinking about it makes me angry. I’m pregnant with his child as well, but look at him. After coming out from your place, he didn’t even bother to tell me, not even a word. He’s completely disregarding me."

Xu Yingying gave Ye Yunzhu a smile and said, "That’s exactly what we’re waiting for now. Yifei is definitely not that heartless. How could he possibly not come to see you? His reason for being with Ning Xin’er is because she has his child, so he can’t ignore her, especially since Ning Xin’er hasn’t let him know where his daughter is. Yifei has to see his own daughter. Moreover, when he left that night, he made it clear to me that he would not be with Ning Xin’er. Today, when I saw Ning Xin’er, I thought Yifei was lying to me, but thinking about it, Yifei probably wouldn’t lie to me. If he says he won’t be with Ning Xin’er, then he certainly won’t be, at most just temporarily together for the sake of the child. So, you really shouldn’t be angry at all."

Ye Yunzhu nodded and said, "That guy may not be good at other things, but he definitely counts as a man. His words do carry weight."

Xu Yingying gave a slight smile and said, "Then just wait for him. That guy will definitely look for you; it’s just going to take some time, that’s all."

Ye Yunzhu suddenly sighed and said, "Yingying, what is so good about this guy anyway? Look at you, a company president, and Ning Xin’er, a major celebrity, yet you’re both insisting on vying for this bastard."

Xu Yingying’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "I used to think Yifei was nothing special. I even looked down on him. But the longer I’m in contact with him, the more I feel he’s a really good man. The more time I spend with him, the more flavorful it gets, and the more I want to be with him. If you ask me what his strengths are, I genuinely can’t pinpoint them, but being with him just feels comfortable."

Ye Yunzhu pouted and said, "He has changed so much over the years. There are things I no longer understand about him. In my heart, he’s always that mischievous troublemaker from high school."

"You’ve already got a big advantage. The purest times of Yifei were all spent with you."

As the two chatted and laughed, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Suddenly, Xu Yingying checked her watch and said, "Oh no, it’s getting late. I must hurry back to the company. I still have a meeting today."

"Indeed, I’ve also got things to do this afternoon. Today has been completely disrupted by that Ning Xin’er. Let’s go. As for how to deal with Ning Xin’er and bring Yifei back, we’ll carefully consider it later."

Xu Yingying drove Ye Yunzhu back to the village before she hurried back to the company. Today there was a middle management meeting. Normally, Li Yifei, the manager of the Human Resources Department, would attend, but now the department was temporarily run by the former Deputy Manager.

After the meeting, Xu Yingying went straight back to her office. Before long, Michelle came in. She first discussed some company business with Xu Yingying, then stood in front of the desk somewhat hesitantly looking at Xu Yingying.

"Michelle, you’re an old colleague who came here with me. Is there something you can’t talk about?" Xu Yingying asked, a bit puzzled.

Michelle hesitated for a moment and said, "President Xu, are you really going to divorce Brother Li?"

It was then that Xu Yingying remembered that Michelle had always had a soft spot for Li Yifei. If Li Yifei was truly going to get a divorce, this girl might have a chance, which explained her nervousness. Looking at Michelle with a gentle smile, she said, "Michelle, I’m sorry. Although Yifei and I have been quarreling recently, I really have no intention of divorcing him."

Michelle exhaled deeply, patting her chest lightly and said, "That’s really a relief."

Seeing Michelle act this way, Xu Yingying couldn’t help but chuckle and said, "If I really divorced Yifei, you might very well end up together with him, right? You should be disappointed now, shouldn’t you?"

Michelle’s face turned red as she said, "President Xu, I do like Brother Li, but what I really want is for Brother Li to be happy. I’ve always thought that only you, President Xu, are truly suited for Brother Li. If you did divorce Brother Li, I would definitely try my best, but if you don’t divorce him, I’m also happy for him."

Xu Yingying felt a little sheepish inside. Michelle’s affection for Li Yifei was indeed unwavering, always thinking of giving without expecting anything in return. With this in mind, Xu Yingying felt even more affectionate towards Michelle and said, "Then I really thank you."

Michelle smiled sweetly and said, "During this time, I’ve been going to chat with Brother Li when I have nothing else to do. That you’re not angry with me, President Xu, makes me so grateful."

"I’m not so petty. Oh, you mentioned just now that you go to chat with Yifei when you have nothing else to do. Have you been in contact with him these past few days?"

Michelle’s complexion immediately turned unnatural, and Xu Yingying instantly noticed, leaning on the table and asking excitedly, "Did you see Yifei in the past couple of days?"
