Chapter 701: Chapter 740 Little Yifei’s Problem

Around three in the afternoon, Li Yifei said he was going out to buy groceries, and Ning Xin’er immediately stood up and stated she would follow him, while Su Yiyi also said she wanted to go.

This made Ning Xin’er quite surprised and she asked, "Yiyi, aren’t you going back?"

Su Yiyi’s face reddened, and she said softly, "I’m staying here tonight."

"What? You’re staying... here?" Ning Xin’er immediately widened her eyes in shock. She had chatted with Su Yiyi for half a day and had learned how Su Yiyi met Li Yifei and that Su Yiyi had maintained her relationship with him, but she didn’t know Su Yiyi had already received Xu Yingying’s approval. Hearing Su Yiyi say she was staying here naturally astonished her to the point where her jaw almost dropped.

Seeing Su Yiyi’s embarrassment, Li Yifei hurriedly interjected, "Yiyi and Yingying are close. She sometimes stays over."

Ning Xin’er felt her brain wasn’t quite working, shook her head vigorously, glanced around the house, looked at Su Yiyi again, smacked her lips a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you saying... when Su Yiyi stays here, Yingying is also at home?"

Li Yifei laughed, "Yeah."

"Li Yifei, you... you son of a bitch..." Ning Xin’er suddenly cursed at Li Yifei, letting out a sigh of relief.

"What are you cursing me for?" Li Yifei pretended to be confused.

Ning Xin’er gritted her teeth and said, "I really didn’t expect this, that you’d have such skills, not only flirting outside but also openly bringing her back home, getting your wife to agree. Should I admire you or despise you?"

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Suit yourself, but let’s hurry and buy the groceries so we can pick up our daughter afterward."

As the three of them left the house, Ning Xin’er was still holding onto her frustration. She knew about people like Ye Yunzhu and Michelle, and also Chu Xiaoyao. Oh, that’s right, Chu Xiaoyao once mentioned this, but she always considered Chu Xiaoyao a silly girl, and Chu Xiaoyao’s words were so unbelievable that she never took them seriously and forgot them.

Only now did she realize that what Chu Xiaoyao said was actually true. Not only did Li Yifei flirt around but he managed to bring someone home to live in peace with his wife, Xu Yingying. This guy was really incredible; managing such a deed, considering Xu Yingying was a company CEO, not some weak woman.

"Yiyi, Yingying isn’t just appeasing you on the surface while actually resenting you, is she?" Ning Xin’er whispered to Su Yiyi as they walked behind.

If it were before, Su Yiyi really couldn’t be sure, but today when Xu Yingying stood up for her, she truly felt how much Xu Yingying was looking out for her. She smiled sweetly and said, "No, Sister Yingying is really nice to me."

"How is that possible? With all the tricks Xu Yingying’s capable of, how could she agree to such a ludicrous arrangement? She must have some ulterior motive."

Su Yiyi smiled lightly and said, "No way, I would leave if Sister Yingying just says the word. I wouldn’t disturb them, so why would she have any ulterior motive?"

Li Yifei turned around and said, "Stop with the conspiracy theories. Yiyi is such an innocent girl, and you’re leading her astray."

Ning Xin’er immediately gave Li Yifei a cold glare and said, "So everyone else is good in your eyes, and I’m the only schemer, is that it?"

Li Yifei chuckled lightly and said, "I never said that. Looks like the fish over there is nice. How about I make you all some braised fish tonight?"

Since there were other people around, Ning Xin’er didn’t find it appropriate to continue the topic, and the three of them went on to buy groceries and then headed to the kindergarten to pick up Little Yifei.

"Godmom, Sister Yiyi, you also came to pick up Yifei!" Upon seeing Su Yiyi, Little Yifei excitedly came over and grabbed Su Yiyi’s hand. Between Ning Xin’er and Su Yiyi, she seemed to be more affectionate towards Su Yiyi.

Watching Su Yiyi hold Little Yifei’s hand, Ning Xin’er felt even more uncomfortable and muttered quietly to Li Yifei, "Great, the daughter is nice to everyone but her actual mom."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Yiyi is younger, in Yifei’s eyes, she’s a playmate. But you and Yingying are her mothers, always disciplining her, so naturally she prefers spending time with people like Yiyi and Xiaoyao."

This made Ning Xin’er feel somewhat better, soothing her downcast mood somewhat.

Once they got back home, Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan were already there. Ning Xin’er sneaked a look at Xu Yingying, curious to see how she would treat Su Yiyi.

"Yiyi, feeling any better?" Xu Yingying asked with concern as soon as she came in.

Su Yiyi quickly replied, "Thank you, Sister Yingying, I’m fine now."

Xu Shanshan had not returned with her sister and was unaware of what had happened. She immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xu Yingying recounted the incident of Su Yiyi helping the old man and then being scammed by him. Even Xu Shanshan and Ning Xin’er were filled with righteous indignation upon hearing it, and they cursed the shamelessness of the old man and his family.

"Even a dog would remember your kindness if you gave it something tasty and wag its tail at you in friendliness. That old man’s family is just too despicable."

"Exactly, it’s just like the snake in the story of The Farmer and the Snake. You save it, and it turns around and bites you."

"Brother-in-law, so after you scolded him, they backed off? And you just let them go like that? Such scum should be eradicated from this world; they’re nothing but a menace," Xu Shanshan said.

Xu Yingying and Li Yifei exchanged glances. Li Yifei chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll deal with them. But we are civilized people, we can’t just revert to being barbaric, right?"

Xu Shanshan snorted, "Why bother talking about civilization to such trash, scum, and rascals?"

At that point, Little Yifei chimed in, "Shouldn’t we help an old man if he falls down?"

The adults in the room were suddenly speechless, as Little Yifei had presented them with a major dilemma. If they said we should help, then it could lead to serious trouble, especially with scammers like the one they encountered, which might deter people from doing good deeds in the future.

But to say we shouldn’t help would contradict basic morals and potentially give a child an undesirable worldview and outlook on life.

Li Yifei and the others looked at each other, at a loss for what to say.

"Dad, moms, Sister Yiyi, should we or should we not help after all?" Little Yifei blinked her big eyes, looking expectantly at everyone.

Li Yifei cleared his throat and said, "If you see an old person fall, you should help, but you are still a child, too small to do much. So, you should call for adults to help, and if no one comes, you can dial 120 or 110, and that way the police and doctors will take care of it."

Little Yifei, who had been listening to the adults’ conversation, although not fully grasping it, frowned and asked, "But why would the old man Yiyi sister helped accuse her of knocking him over?"

Su Yiyi picked up Little Yifei and said softly, "There are good people and bad people in this world, and the same goes for the elderly. Many old people are good, but there are a few who are bad. Today, Sister Yiyi met a bad old man and was wronged, but there are still many good old people, so we should help them if they fall over."

Little Yifei cheered immediately, "I get it now! If it’s a good old person, we help, and if it’s a bad old person, we don’t bother them, right, Sister Yiyi?"

Su Yiyi said with a smile, "Yifei is so smart!"

With that, the difficult problem seemed to be resolved, and everyone hesitated to talk about the topic again, afraid of saying something that might influence Little Yifei.

However, Ning Xin’er could see that Xu Yingying had truly accepted Su Yiyi; with Li Yifei having both a wife and a concubine at home.

Ning Xin’er was not unfamiliar with such scenarios. In their large family clans, if a marriage was arranged for alliance purposes, and the wife came from a powerful background, the men, even if they had other women, would only keep them outside the home. But if the wife was from an ordinary background, those men would assert themselves more, like her second male cousin, who married one woman but brazenly brought another into the home.

Yet, the second cousin’s wife was certainly not content, having made a fuss with the family elders several times. Despite the unresolved issue, the two women in her second cousin’s life remained at odds, while Li Yifei somehow managed to make Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi call each other "sisters" and maintain harmony, a dynamic unseen even in her own family.

For Ning Xin’er, there was another matter that perplexed her: with Su Yiyi also living there, who was Li Yifei living with, Xu Yingying or Su Yiyi? According to Su Yiyi, she did not often come over, so it seemed Li Yifei should be living with Su Yiyi. But then, Chu Xiaoyao had mentioned that she lived together with Su Yiyi and Li Yifei. Could it be that Xu Yingying and Su Yiyi both lived with Li Yifei?

Ning Xin’er had never believed Chu Xiaoyao’s words before, but now she couldn’t dismiss them so easily.

What troubled Ning Xin’er most was that she was actually quite inexperienced in these matters. Her encounter with Li Yifei had been under abnormal circumstances. When it came to the intimacies between men and women, she considered herself a novice. She would blush at the thought of one woman and one man together, let alone two women with one man—it was too salacious for her to imagine. If it had been her, she honestly wouldn’t have the courage to participate in such an arrangement.
