Chapter 996: Chapter 1037: A Formidable Enemy Arrives

"Hey, Brother Li, why are there more people in the house?" Meng Xiaofei only just noticed Xiao Ling’er and the others, then chuckled and said, "I get it now, these must be the ones you mentioned last time, and now they’re all in the house."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "You’re really slow on the uptake. Let me introduce you, this is Xiao Ling’er, this is Zheng Yuling, this is Li Xinyue, and this is Song Lianyao."

The four of them all greeted Meng Xiaofei with smiles, while she casually waved her hand and said, "Ladies, I’m not going to get up, I’m really too tired. I’ll have a good chat with you four later. Brother Li, my legs too, they’re killing me."

Li Yifei slid his hand along Meng Xiaofei’s flesh-colored stockings to her calf and kneaded it a few times, saying, "You really should sneak some time to rest, you’re exhausted."

"Stop nagging, worse than my mom. I’m going to catch some shut-eye, don’t stop," Meng Xiaofei said as she closed her eyes, and in less than two minutes, the girl actually fell asleep, obviously very tired.

Ning Xin’er then said, "You should take Xiaoyao to the room."

Li Yifei also felt it wasn’t right for Meng Xiaofei to sleep here, making everyone afraid to speak loudly, so he picked her up and carried her to the room.

After placing Meng Xiaofei on the bed, just as Li Yifei was about to get up, she suddenly flailed her arms and yelled, "No! I won’t agree, I resolutely won’t agree, I absolutely won’t do it."

Li Yifei was startled, but seeing Meng Xiaofei’s eyes still shut tight, he realized she must be talking in her sleep. He had no idea what she was dreaming about, but it seemed like a bad dream. He quickly patted her shoulder gently, saying, "Xiaofei, don’t be scared, no one can force you to do anything, and if someone tries, Brother Li will help you."

Meng Xiaofei moved slightly, then gradually calmed down, her furrowed brows smoothing out. Li Yifei started to withdraw his hand, planning to leave, but seeing her still in her flight attendant uniform, he hesitated and decided to take it off her.

He knew Meng Xiaofei well; she mostly slept naked, and wearing so much would be uncomfortable for her. He’d seen her body countless times before, so it wasn’t going to make much difference this time. He reached under her neck, lifted Meng Xiaofei’s upper body, and with his other hand, he unbuttoned her flight attendant uniform, easily removing her outerwear. Beneath the uniform was just her underwear, which Li Yifei didn’t bother to remove.

After laying her down, just as Li Yifei was about to pull his arm away, Meng Xiaofei suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. Caught off guard, he fell on top of her, landing on Meng Xiaofei’s ample chest.

Li Yifei was startled. What was Meng Xiaofei up to?

"Brother Li, you’re so good to me, I would never betray you, absolutely not," Meng Xiaofei mumbled.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but grin, clearly, Meng Xiaofei was still dreaming. He stroked her hair and whispered soothingly, "Brother Li knows, now go ahead and sleep well."

Meng Xiaofei slowly released Li Yifei’s neck, and he finally sat up. Then he also removed her skirt, leaving her stockings and underwear as they were.

He pulled up the blanket to cover Meng Xiaofei and then walked out of the room, where he was greeted by Ning Xin’er and Chu Xiaoyao both wearing mischievous grins.

Chu Xiaoyao teased, "Uncle, you’re so naughty, taking advantage of Sister Xiaofei while she’s asleep, undressing her, and even lying on top of her."

Li Yifei closed the bedroom door and tapped Chu Xiaoyao on the head, retorting, "What advantage did I take? Can anyone really sleep comfortably in their clothes?"

Rubbing her head, Chu Xiaoyao playfully said, "Sister Xiaofei is a girl, not your wife. You can undress me anytime, but undressing Sister Xiaofei? Aren’t you just trying to take advantage?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If I wanted to take advantage, I could do it anytime, not with the door open like this."

"See, that just shows how awesome you are, taking advantage of another girl without even having to hide from your own wife."

"You little rascal, are you asking for trouble?" Li Yifei glared and raised his hand to strike, but Chu Xiaoyao giggled and ran off, then started animatedly telling Xiao Ling’er and the others what Li Yifei had just done.

Xiao Ling’er and the others had not dared to peek earlier, but now listening to Chu Xiaoyao’s story, they all looked at Li Yifei with ambiguous gazes, leaving him somewhat speechless. However, it was not surprising; even though he was very close to Meng Xiaofei, undressing her was a bit over the line. How had he acted so naturally just now? Probably because he was upset about Meng Xiaofei having a nightmare, he wanted to make sure she slept comfortably.

Just then, Li Yifei’s phone rang, and seeing it was a call from Municipal Party Secretary Song Zhentao, he quickly answered with a smile, "Mayor Song, not taking it easy on the weekend?"

Song Zhentao chuckled and said, "I would like to rest, but our city has been visited by a few important figures. I thought you might want to come and see for yourself."

"Important figures? Who might that be?" Li Yifei was indeed curious.

Song Zhentao said, "Our city has just seen several important investors arrive, all with very strong backgrounds, and they are all from big family clans. I think you, Young Master Li, would be interested, right?"

"All from big family clans? And they all arrived together?" Li Yifei immediately followed up with a question.

"Indeed, we’ve got the Wei Family from South Su, the Gu Family from Capital City, and the Meng Family. They are all looking to invest in Mile City. However, something about this feels off. Mile City isn’t exactly a bustling city. If they wanted to invest, there are many places with much better environments than ours. Now, you and Angel Group are investing here, yet so many others are also coming to invest, which makes me think our Mile City might be some kind of gold mine to attract so many powerful backgrounds."

"The Wei Family from South Su... the Gu Family and the Meng Family from Capital City..." Li Yifei’s mind spun, and he began to suspect that these people were probably here because of him.

Li Yifei had only met someone from the Wei Family from South Su once, which was Wei Zijun, whom Xiao Ling’er introduced to Su Mengxin in Capital City. Although their encounter was brief and Wei Zijun seemed quite graceful, Li Yifei was well aware that individuals from such big family clans, especially those who were exceptional, often concealed their true intentions, unlike those profligate sons who lacked subtlety in their actions.

He had had two conflicts with Gu Yandong of the Gu Family, and Meng Xiaojun from the Meng Family had directly forced Li Yifei to kill him. Speaking of which, all three families were his enemies and now they had all arrived in Mile City together; this truly seemed very unusual.

"Young Master Li, you’ve always been in Mile City, so I think of you as family. Now that these three families have shown up together, ostensibly to invest, I can’t shake the feeling that they might be targeting you. So, I hope you’ll be careful and prepare in advance."

"Thank you, Secretary Song. I’ll be careful." Li Yifei knew that Song Zhentao was trying to curry favor with him. Although these three families were no weaker than the Su Family, Song Zhentao had no prior relations with them, so initiating a connection wouldn’t be simple, unlike building a relationship with Li Yifei, whom he knew to be a loyal man. Therefore, he still preferred to foster a good relationship with Li Yifei.

Song Zhentao quickly added, "No need to thank me. At noon today, I’ve invited them to lunch. Why don’t you join us as well and try to figure out their intentions?"

"Sure, I’ll definitely be there. This matter sounds interesting; I’d like to see what they’re up to. By the way, who from the three families will be coming?"

"The Wei Family will be represented by Wei Zijun, Gu Family by Gu Yanan, and Meng Family by Wei Qianjun. They are all young people around your age."

"Got it, I’ll be over in a bit." Li Yifei hung up the phone and Xiao Ling’er immediately asked, "Husband, who is coming from those three families?"

Li Yifei mentioned the names of the three individuals, and Xiao Ling’er said with some surprise, "Wei Zijun is actually coming. He’s definitely here for Mengxin. And Gu Yanan from the Gu Family and Wei Qianjun from the Wei Family are both talented individuals among the younger generation of their families. They’re not like those prodigal sons; they are extremely capable. Their coming here truly won’t be easy to deal with."

Zheng Yuling frowned and said, "Wei Zijun has now taken over half of the Wei Family’s business in South Su. Without the halo of Su Mengxin, he would have been the most outstanding individual among the clan’s younger generation. Gu Yanan is currently the main focus of the Gu Family’s efforts to cultivate. He always seems very gentle and always has a smile on his face, but those who know him well understand that there’s often a blade hidden in his smile. He’s likely to strike when you least expect it. Meng Qianjun is rather domineering in his approaches, yet his domineering attitude always seems justified, even if he bullies someone terribly, people find it hard to fault him and believe his actions are warranted."

Hearing this, Li Yifei became even more intrigued and said, "It seems like these three are truly not ordinary."

Zheng Yuling nodded and replied, "Indeed, if it were just one of them, it would be manageable. But now that all three are joining forces, if they truly are here to confront you, it does seem difficult to deal with. Husband, you mustn’t be careless."

At that moment, Su Mengxin spoke up from behind Li Yifei, "Yuling, don’t worry. Even if they aren’t simple, as long as my husband is here, they won’t be able to stir up any trouble." She then stood by Li Yifei’s side.

Li Yifei wrapped his arm around Su Mengxin’s waist and grinned, "But this matter does seem to be very interesting."

Su Mengxin smiled and added, "It is indeed interesting. These three families usually interact with one another, but their relationships aren’t particularly strong. Them coming together at this time, they may not be so united. A great family’s pride would be affected if word got out that the three of them have united against you. I think their arrival together is more coincidental than premeditated."

Su Mengxin’s analysis delved more into the specifics, pinpointing issues that lay between them.

Li Yifei narrowed his eyes and noted, "If that’s the case, then it makes things much easier to handle."

"Hehe, then husband, do you need me to accompany you tonight?"

"Of course, if Wei Zijun is coming for you, it would disappoint him if I didn’t bring you along."

Su Mengxin pursed her lips with a smile, gently touching her belly, and happily said, "If he knew that I’m carrying your child, he would probably be even more disappointed."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and commented, "Then it’s better to let him be thoroughly disappointed. It bothers me when people covet my wife. I prefer to make those who have eyes on you feel uncomfortable."

Su Mengxin chuckled and remarked, "Then I’m afraid a lot of people are going to be uncomfortable, since you’ve claimed so much for yourself."
