Chapter 540: Chapter 552: Lin Qiong Gets Jealous and Acts Foolishly

Lin Qiong’s move completely caught Li Yifei off guard; he never anticipated that Lin Qiong would suddenly claim he was her boyfriend. Xu Yingying was even more surprised and found herself speechless, her mind racing with worry. How could Lin Qiong be so bold? This was going to blow their cover.

However, Xu Shanshan’s eyes were filled with amusement. She wanted to see how her brother-in-law would handle such a big problem.

At this point, Li Yifei had to say something. His face first revealed a guilty smile as he said to Lin Qiong’s father, "Uncle Lin, I’m really sorry. I’ve been so busy with work that I only just managed to get here for your birthday. Here, I hope Uncle stays healthy and lives a long life."

Lin Zhenhai laughed heartily and said, "It’s no problem at all! We’re all family, no need for such formalities. It’s good you could make it. Come, let me introduce you to Uncle Xu, who is also our boss’s dad."

Li Yifei immediately said, "Uncle Xu, hello, I’ve always heard about you from Yifei. He says you’re a fantastic father-in-law, just like Uncle Lin is."

Xu Zhenguo looked at Li Yifei in astonishment, feeling that this Li Yifei really appeared to be his son-in-law. Not only did they share a striking resemblance, but even their clothes were identical. He said, "You really do look exactly like our Yifei, don’t you?"

Li Yifei immediately replied with a smile, "Yes, it’s really a coincidence. Not only do we look alike, but we also have the same name and work at the same company. In this whole wide world, it must just be the two of us."

Another old comrade-in-arms, confused, said, "What’s going on here? How can this young man be Old Xu’s son-in-law one minute, and then turn out to be Old Lin’s daughter’s boyfriend the next?"

Lin Qiong then chimed in, "There are actually two Li Yifeis here, just like Yingying and Shanshan who look alike and share the same names, but they are two different people."

The comrade rubbed his forehead and said, "Are they twins, too?"

Lin Qiong replied, "We’re not really sure about that. They don’t come from the same place, and their parents are no longer around, so no one can confirm. Unless they do a DNA test. However, Yingying and I do feel that they might be twins since they look so much alike."

"This is truly a strange occurrence. Looks like Old Lin and Old Xu, you’ve become relatives now," remarked the comrade.

Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, it seems so!"

With Lin Qiong pulling him along, Li Yifei was introduced to everyone politely, not letting Lin Qiong down one bit. Meanwhile, Lin Qiong clung to Li Yifei’s arm, her smile brimming with pride.

After all the introductions were finished, just as Li Yifei and Lin Qiong were about to walk away, Lin Zhenhai laughed and said, "By the way, Old Xu, where is your son-in-law?"

Li Yifei immediately interjected, "I just saw him outside making a phone call. Seems like he has some matters to attend to."

One of the old comrades quickly said, "Let him come in later; it will be quite interesting. Two sets of twins, two pairs... Oh, not that, I mean, Old Lin, don’t mind me, I’m just finding it funny. There’s no other implication."

Having managed to deal with the elderly, Li Yifei and Lin Qiong went over to the table with the younger guests. These young people were also left wide-eyed; they hadn’t expected Lin Qiong’s boyfriend to be the spitting image of Xu Yingying’s boyfriend. If it weren’t for Lin Qiong’s earlier admission, they would have definitely mistaken this Li Yifei for Xu Yingying’s husband.

"President Xu," Li Yifei said as he sat down, offering Xu Yingying a greeting accompanied by a wry smile.

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a blank look and said, "You really are something, being busy with work on your girlfriend’s father’s birthday."

"Didn’t I rush back? But I’ll have to leave soon anyway; The situation there just can’t be neglected."

Lin Qiong grabbed Li Yifei’s arm and shook it gently, complaining, "Can’t you just not go?"

Li Yifei chuckled, "I can’t do that. This is too important. If I don’t handle it well, President Xu might just fire me."

Xu Yingying laughed, "I wouldn’t dare. If I fired you, Lin Qiong would definitely give me a hard time." She watched as Lin Qiong snuggled up to Li Yifei, clutching his arm so tightly that her chest pressed against it, a sensation that made Xu Yingying feel quite uncomfortable.

However, Lin Qiong was quite content. She had been watching Li Yifei and Xu Yingying being all lovey-dovey, which made her feel rather jealous. Finally, she could give Xu Yingying a taste of her own medicine.

At that moment, Xu Yingying stood up and said, "I’m going to see why my other half isn’t back yet." Throwing a reproachful look at Lin Qiong, she walked out.

Soon after, Lin Qiong’s phone pinged with a text message from Xu Yingying.

"What do we do now?"

Looking at the text, Lin Qiong instantly regretted her actions. In a fit of jealousy, she impulsively dragged Li Yifei into the situation. Now, with their parents and all the elders waiting to see the two Li Yifeis, she wondered what to do.

Seeking help, she glanced at Li Yifei. He rolled his eyes and gave her a glare. Lin Qiong, feeling guilty, gently shook Li Yifei’s arm and whispered into his ear, "Think of something quick."

Li Yifei leaned in and whispered back, "You know this is a mess. Why did you do it?"

"I was just jealous, okay? How could I stand to watch you and Xu Yingying being so sweet together?"

The two of them were whispering to each other like a couple sharing secrets, and the guys across were looking on with envy. After all, Lin Qiong was a Deputy Director at the Public Security Bureau. Marrying her could mean a lifetime of glory.

Li Yifei then stood up and said, "Let’s go out and have a look as well." He took Lin Qiong’s hand and led her out of the private room.

"Why did everyone leave? Hey, Old Lin, Old Xu, do you guys find this odd? There’s only supposed to be one guy, but he keeps popping in and out. Don’t let him fool you guys," a comrade whispered to Lin Zhenhai and Xu Zhenguo.

Xu Zhenguo immediately responded, "That’s impossible. Our Yifei and Yingying are truly in love."

"Exactly," agreed Lin Zhenhai, "Our Lin Qiong is the Deputy Director at the Public Security Bureau. She wouldn’t miss something like this. She couldn’t possibly be fooled by someone."

Although they said this, they both felt uneasy, finding the situation too coincidental. How could there be two identical Li Yifeis? And these two Li Yifeis had never appeared together; whenever one showed up, the other would vanish.

The comrade then suggested, "Why not have both of your daughters’ boyfriends come over? That will clear things up."

"That’s right, Old Lin, Old Xu, hurry up and get your sons-in-law in here."

Xu Zhenguo and Lin Zhenhai exchanged nervous glances. If this turned out to be true, the two would be absolutely furious.
