Chapter 920: Chapter 961 Harmony Sisters

Xu Yingying came back early today because she also needed to go home to change clothes. After all, the cocktail party seemed quite important. Besides the attendance of a major foreign consortium, the city would also be announcing some crucial policies, which would significantly impact many businesses. Therefore, this event was something that Xu Yingying couldn’t neglect.

Xu Yingying got dressed at home, choosing a black evening gown with a V-neckline adorned with a pearl necklace. Although she hadn’t styled her hair particularly fancy, it wasn’t the big waves of the past either. Instead, it was cut in a bob that just brushed her ears, making her look noble and elegant while also showcasing her shrewd efficiency.

"Honey, does this look okay?" Xu Yingying asked Li Yifei as he zipped up the back of her dress, then she turned to face him.

Li Yifei stepped back to take a good look at Xu Yingying and praised her, "Could there be anyone more beautiful than my wife?"

"You’re just flattering me. In terms of beauty, I’m no match for Su Mengxin, and even Ning Xin’er is more beautiful than I am, right?"

Li Yifei came over to adjust the clothes on Xu Yingying’s shoulders and said, "But in my heart, my wife is the most beautiful."

"Alright, I’ll take that. Your words make me very happy," Xu Yingying said with a smile, then stood on tiptoe to give Li Yifei a light kiss on his cheek.

After the couple had changed their clothes, they went over to where Su Mengxin and others were.

By this time, Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er had also changed into their dresses. Su Mengxin had surprisingly chosen a bright red brocade gown, which made her look a bit flamboyant, but this style added another layer to her charm, something that Li Yifei had never noticed before.

Ning Xin’er wore a light blue cheongsam, exuding the tenderness of a traditional woman. However, her facial expression betrayed her inner timidity.

"Mengxin, Xin’er, you both look so beautiful," Xu Yingying exclaimed softly as she first grabbed Su Mengxin’s hand to look her over, then held Ning Xin’er’s hand to turn her around, laughing, "Xin’er, that’s quite a high slit on your cheongsam. Your thigh is showing; aren’t you just giving men a free treat?"

Ning Xin’er was a bit stunned, not sure if Xu Yingying was displeased with her choice of attire. Opening her mouth, she was at a loss for words.

Seeing Ning Xin’er’s expression, Xu Yingying chuckled and said, "I’m just worried that a certain person might feel hard done by, haven’t you noticed the strapless bodice I’m wearing underneath? So that a certain small-minded man doesn’t complain when he comes back."

Su Mengxin chuckled and said, "Good point. You should wear flesh-colored stockings underneath."

Ning Xin’er glanced at Li Yifei and caught him looking at her with a smile, which relaxed her instantly. She quickly said, "I’m going to slip on some stockings right now."

The four of them finally set off. Li Yifei was driving, with Xu Yingying in the passenger seat, while Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er sat in the back.

Turning to Ning Xin’er, Xu Yingying said, "Xin’er, there’s no one else here, so let me speak frankly with you. You are Yifei’s mother, and no matter how kind I am to Yifei, I can’t replace her real mother. So from now on, you can rest assured in your relationship with Yifei. We are all family."

Li Yifei didn’t expect Xu Yingying to speak so directly about this matter with Ning Xin’er, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to react, let alone Ning Xin’er.

Then, Xu Yingying smiled again and said, "Look at your face, am I that scary?"

"No... it’s not that..." Ning Xin’er opened her mouth but still didn’t know what to say.

Xu Yingying laughed and said, "You’re not going to make me write some sort of pledge before you believe me, are you?"

That’s when Su Mengxin said with a smile, "Xin’er, I can tell Yingying is earnest, and that’s truly a good thing. Little Yifei won’t have to be away from dad and mom anymore, haha... Congratulations to you both. But, the person who should be congratulated the most seems to be someone else. Don’t just sit there snickering, show your stance."

Li Yifei quickly said, "Thank you, wife. Marrying you is the greatest happiness of my life. Your generosity truly moves me."

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Yifei and said, "Stop buttering me up, I’ve heard that line so often I could get calluses on my ears."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Then I’ll talk to Xin’er. Xin’er, you’ve given birth to a daughter for me, and even though I haven’t married you yet, you’ve stayed by me loyally and steadfastly. I won’t talk about how much I’ve let you down in the past, but I promise that from now on, I will treat you well."

Ning Xin’er’s eyes immediately reddened. This was the first time Li Yifei had spoken such words in front of Xu Yingying, and it was a final promise to her identity.

"Xin’er, don’t get emotional over his few nice words. This guy is not as honest as he seems. I’m busy with work, so you’ll have to keep a closer eye on him later."

"Mhm!" Ning Xin’er nodded vigorously, saying, "I will, thank you, Sister Yingying."

This thank you carried so much meaning. Xu Yingying took Ning Xin’er’s hand and said, "From now on, we are good sisters, you must not be polite with me."

"Okay, I got it." Ning Xin’er also showed a radiant smile, truly relaxing at this moment.

Su Mengxin chuckled and said, "Xin’er, you’ve finally achieved your goal. Congratulations, and don’t forget to treat us to a meal."

Ning Xin’er nodded repeatedly, saying, "Definitely, definitely."

Xu Yingying’s stance made not just Ning Xin’er happy, but Su Mengxin was also very pleased. It meant that things following this would become easier to handle. The first step is always the hardest, just like when Xu Yingying initially accepted Chu Xiaoyao, it was quite difficult. But when Su Yiyi joined the family, Xu Yingying was much less resistant. By the time Ye Yunzhu and Lin Qiong came around, Xu Yingying didn’t mind anymore.

Now with the first step out of the way once again, subsequent matters would be easier.

The only thing that troubled Xu Yingying was her, Su Mengxin. However, after the coma and amnesia, Su Mengxin believed that Xu Yingying would probably be even more reluctant to let go of Li Yifei and wouldn’t abandon him just because of her, especially since the old man hadn’t come over this time, Xu Yingying wouldn’t be under so much pressure.

Between women, becoming enemies is easy, but becoming good friends or sisters is just as simple. Once this was settled, Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er immediately became a pair of chatty sisters, talking non-stop about everything—their daughters, future lives. Initially, Xu Yingying led the conversation, and Ning Xin’er was a bit reluctant to speak, but later she opened up completely, returning to her naughty and spirited self, even coming up with ideas to deal with Li Yifei, which kept Xu Yingying laughing.

The harmonious family arrived at a five-star hotel in Mile City. As Li Yifei stepped out of the car with three beauties, they instantly drew countless gazes. Su Mengxin’s grace was impossible to hide anywhere she went, and both Xu Yingying and Ning Xin’er were top-tier beauties.

Those attending today’s banquet were heavyweight figures from Mile City, important leaders from within the city and leading figures from various industries. Without a net worth of hundreds of millions, one wouldn’t even dream of attending.

Because the requirements for this event were quite high and it was a very important affair, those business leaders took it very seriously and didn’t bring along any mistresses or concubines. At most, they were accompanied by their wives. Thus, young women like Xu Yingying and others were even rarer and attracted more attention.

"Miss Su, I truly did not expect you to come yourself!" Guided by the reception staff, Li Yifei and his group entered the lobby, where Municipal Party Secretary Song Zhentao was already present. As a major figure, he should have arrived later, but this time he came a bit earlier, showing how much he valued this event. Upon seeing Su Mengxin, he hurried over to greet her.

"Secretary Song, hello!" Su Mengxin shook hands with Song Zhentao politely, saying, "I really like Mile City, and I might even consider settling down here in the future. For such an important banquet, of course, I had to come and see."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhentao was overjoyed. Su Mengxin considering settling in Mile City meant more than a big financial group coming to invest and develop the area. He quickly said, "Then I am very pleased to welcome you on behalf of the people of Mile City."

Su Mengxin laughed and said, "Haha, Secretary Song, you’re too kind. With my cousin here, everything is possible."

Song Zhentao laughed heartily, saying, "Indeed, Yifei, you really should do more in the future. One enterprise isn’t enough now."

Li Yifei smiled, replying, "Of course, I’ll need Secretary Song’s help in many things in the future, especially with any lucrative opportunities. Secretary Song, you must not forget about me."

"Of course not!" said Song Zhentao, and then turned to Xu Yingying, who was holding onto Li Yifei’s arm, "President Xu, it’s been hard to see you lately. You must be really busy, especially with both of you coming together."

Xu Yingying smiled politely, "Without him bringing me, I wouldn’t have been able."

Finally, Song Zhentao looked at Ning Xin’er with some surprise, "Isn’t this Ning Xin’er? I didn’t expect to see you in Mile City."

Ning Xin’er smiled, "We’ve already met at the hospital last time."

Song Zhentao suddenly looked a little dazed. With his response, he didn’t know if Xu Yingying was aware of the relationship between him and Ning Xin’er. Ning Xin’er’s reply obviously indicated that she knew about her relationship with Li Yifei, and Xu Yingying was aware. Turning to Li Yifei, he said, "Yifei, my brother, you truly are amazing. I commend you. I wanted to cover for you, but it turns out I was the bad guy. President Xu, I hope you won’t blame me."

Xu Yingying smiled subtly, saying naturally, "It’s good as long as Secretary Song can spare us the jokes."

Shaking his head, Song Zhentao said, "How could I joke about it? This is envy and jealousy I’m feeling. One of you is a business leader, the other a big star, and you get along so well. This truly is a man’s blessing."

Li Yifei laughed, "Secretary Song, no need to flatter me. But let’s not spread the word about this."

"Understood!" Song Zhentao nodded. The fact that Li Yifei confided this secret to him excited him, as it meant their relationship was strong enough that he might receive a lot of help from Li Yifei in the future.
