Chapter 886: Chapter 927 Coincidental Meeting

Xu Yingying would be away on a business trip for a week, which meant Li Yifei had a whole week to handle his own affairs. Although the demolition matter was important, there was another issue that Li Yifei had to address immediately – helping Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling solve their problems. Recently, they had almost blown up Li Yifei’s phone with their calls; if he didn’t show up soon, they might genuinely lose their minds.

Fortunately, Li Yifei had been planning for this for quite some time, and this trip was all about netting the results.

Upon arriving in Capital City, Su Mengxin did not come to pick him up. Instead, Xiao Ling’er, Zheng Yuling, and Su Mengfei, along with a few followers who clearly bore the intent of surveillance, greeted him. Li Yifei knew without asking that these were the arranged companions by Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling’s families to watch over the two, preventing any chance of them fleeing before the engagement party, as their absence would turn the event into a mockery.

"Yifei, you’re finally here," Xiao Ling’er greeted him with a huge hug.

Such warmth made Li Yifei a bit embarrassed, but seeing Xiao Ling’er’s excited face, he understood. They must have suffered a great deal emotionally during this time. He reciprocated the hug and joked, "How could I not come? If I didn’t, you would’ve skinned me when you saw me next."

"You know what’s good for you!" Xiao Ling’er was finally at ease after seeing Li Yifei, tapping him on the back before letting go.

Zheng Yuling immediately hugged Li Yifei as well and said, "It’s all up to you now."

Li Yifei patted Zheng Yuling’s back just like he had done with Xiao Ling’er and reassured her with a smile, "Don’t worry, since I’m here, I will certainly solve this problem for you."

Zheng Yuling released Li Yifei, and Xiao Ling’er quickly nudged Su Mengfei, teasingly saying, "It’s your turn now."

Su Mengfei came forward with a giggle and wrapped her arms around Li Yifei, saying, "Brother-in-law, let me reserve my hug first."

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "With your sister, you won’t be that pitiful."

The entourage that had come to keep an eye on Xiao Ling’er and the others was now quite astonished. Although Xiao Ling’er, Zheng Yuling, and Su Mengfei were known to be wild, they were relatively reserved in terms of male-female relationships. They had never been seen getting close to any man, and now all three of them were embracing the same guy – it was a real shocker for them.

They couldn’t help but take a closer look at Li Yifei. The man in front of them was decent-looking and fit, but not exactly what you would call a real hunk or pretty boy. What was it about this guy that captivated all three beauties?

The three women surrounded Li Yifei as they left the airport, then headed straight for Su Mengxin’s villa, where she would return a bit later.

Once at the villa, the followers of Xiao Ling’er and the others couldn’t come in; they had to stay outside, giving Xiao Ling’er and the others even more freedom.

"Hey, Yifei, what exactly are you planning to do?" Xiao Ling’er was already impatient. Before Li Yifei could even sit down on the sofa, she rushed to his side, grabbing his arm with urgency.

Zheng Yuling also sat down on the other side and said just as anxiously, "Yes, please tell us. We’re practically dying from the suspense."

Li Yifei chuckled, "Some things are better left unsaid. I absolutely cannot tell you my plans in advance, or it might spoil everything."

"But this is about our entire future," Xiao Ling’er pressed, "Do you think we would go around blabbing?"

"You wouldn’t, but you’re not sly enough to keep it under wraps indefinitely. To be honest, if both of you weren’t so desperate, I wouldn’t even let on that I can help you solve this."

Seeing Li Yifei take the issue so seriously, Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling dared not ask any further. They were well aware of the kind of people he was dealing with. Although those two were irresponsible and hardly sharp-witted, the families backing them were incredibly powerful. Even a slight misstep could topple Li Yifei’s plans.

"Okay, okay, we won’t ask anymore," Xiao Ling’er conceded. "But you’ve been so good to us, don’t you want a little reward first?" She hugged Li Yifei’s arm, pressing her chest against it, her eyes clearly holding a seductive allure.

Li Yifei dreaded most when these two used this tactic. Because of their past mischief, these two beauties dropped their guard around him, and they were quite casual when together with him. But Li Yifei was a grown man, facing such temptation, it was impossible not to be moved. However, he wasn’t the carefree playboy he used to be, so naturally, he couldn’t behave as recklessly as before. The more they acted like this, the more uncomfortable it was for him, and he quickly said, "Don’t mess around, or you’ll mess up my plans, and that will be on you."

Although they knew Li Yifei was just making an excuse, Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling really didn’t dare to continue their teasing. They cheerfully started to chat with Li Yifei.

A while later, Su Mengxin made a call, saying she couldn’t come back for the time being and asked them to go out to eat together later, setting a time and place. Li Yifei then hung up the phone.

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling had really hoped to taste Li Yifei’s cooking, so when Su Mengxin suggested eating out, it left them somewhat disappointed. But Su Mengxin had been very busy lately, always engaged in transferring her massive workload to other members of the Su Family. They were all understanding of her situation.

When it was nearly six o’clock, Li Yifei and the others arrived at the famous Wanhao Hotel in the Capital City, a five-star establishment and property of the Su Family. They went straight to the room mentioned by Su Mengxin, who was already there waiting.

It had been some time since Li Yifei and Su Mengxin had seen each other, and naturally, they were quite pleased to meet again. But with these three tag-alongs, the two couldn’t pour out their hearts to each other. They exchanged smiles, saying all that needed to be said without words.

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling were in a particularly good mood, and the group of five chatted and ate happily. From time to time, Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling deliberately teased Li Yifei, and seeing him embarrassed made them especially joyful. They were not at all afraid of Su Mengxin getting jealous.

Su Mengfei was more behaved at the moment. Unlike the other two, she hadn’t been entangled in the recent drama and thus didn’t have the same relaxed demeanor around Li Yifei. Plus, in front of her cousin Su Mengxin, it was certainly not proper for her to flirt too provocatively with Li Yifei.

The group of five didn’t drink much, just a little. After having their meal, they prepared to leave. But as they approached the elevator, several people came out from another private room. Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling, who had been all smiles, suddenly became solemn.

Li Yifei glanced at the group and immediately recognized two of them: one was Xiao Ling’er’s betrothed, He Zhenyu, and the other was Zheng Yuling’s betrothed, Chen Fangzhou. Li Yifei had done quite a lot of work for them recently and naturally recognized the two men, but he had never shown himself before, so they didn’t recognize him.

"Hey, Zhenyu, Fangzhou, aren’t these your fiancées?" a slick-looking Pretty Boy chuckled and winked at He Zhenyu and Chen Fangzhou.

Both He Zhenyu and Chen Fangzhou, if judged by looks alone, were quite decent, at least not offensive to the audience. But at that moment, the smell of alcohol on them, along with their aristocratic arrogance, made them look particularly disagreeable.

Then another lad said, "What a coincidence, huh? Hey, Zhenyu, Fangzhou, why don’t you bring them along, and let’s all go out for some singing?"

As far as He Zhenyu and Chen Fangzhou were concerned, they were quite satisfied with Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling. In the major families of the Capital City, many girls were involved in all sorts of activities, and ones like Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling were really rare. Beautiful and proper in their relationships—such women were incredibly rare for heirs of great families, and marrying them was a matter of pride for He Zhenyu and Chen Fangzhou. Each time they discussed their arranged marriages, even other peers from similar families felt envious.

Both men were too proud to lose face. So, when their friend suggested it, they couldn’t refuse, even knowing that Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling both greatly disliked them. They both stepped forward together.

He Zhenyu spoke to Xiao Ling’er first, "Ling’er, friends are going to sing together, you should come along."

At the same time, Chen Fangzhou also said to Zheng Yuling, "Yuling, let’s go."

Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling, as if having coordinated beforehand, glared in unison and said, "We’re not going."

He Zhenyu and Chen Fangzhou both turned visibly upset. Being rejected in front of friends was indeed a loss of face, especially by the women who were to be their wives, which seemed even more humiliating.

He Zhenyu’s expression darkened and he said, "Ling’er, these are all my good friends. You can’t not go."

Xiao Ling’er felt enraged looking at He Zhenyu because her family wanted to marry her off to this man. Seeing him only aggravated her resentment, and being spoken to in such a tone was even more intolerable. She arched her eyebrow contemptuously and said, "I won’t go, who do you think you are? Let me tell you, I have a man, and if you think you’re marrying me, you can forget it." With that, she looped her arm through Li Yifei’s.

The group’s attention, especially He Zhenyu’s, instantly focused on Li Yifei. His eyes carried a cold light, for in his heart, the man Xiao Ling’er was embracing was as good as dead!
