Chapter 1083: Chapter 1126: Return Ho in Glory
The saintess actually left without notice, not even calling Li Yifei before leaving, but she did call Xu Shanshan.
Li Yifei really did not expect this; the saintess always spoke in a mix of truth and deception, and he thought her saying she wanted to leave was just a joke.
As for the saintess’s departure, Li Yifei wasn’t disappointed. Her departure ant that the demons in her heart had grown strong, and she was preparing for her final breakthrough.
That also ant that when the saintess returned, they would face a life-and-death battle. It was a laughably tragic situation, yet unavoidable. It was sowhat like lovers, marrying after a tumultuous relationship filled with ups and downs, resulting in varying outcos.
When the saintess was in Mile City, she and Li Yifei didn’t et often, but her departure made Li Yifei miss her more, which he found quite despicable of himself. It seed that people never cherish what is easily available; only upon losing it do they realize how fortunate they were.
This weekend, Li Yifei’s family, along with ng Lei, Song Tao, and Liu Ying’s family, carrying a heap of gifts in five luxury cars, arrived at Li Yifei’s fourth aunt’s house.
Next week, Li Yifei’s family mansion will celebrate a housewarming, and naturally, he wanted to invite them. A phone call would have sufficed, but after discussing with his family, apart from Ning Xin’er, none had visited these relatives or t them before, which seed quite impolite, so they all ca together this weekend.
Li Yifei’s three aunts and their families were all at the fourth aunt’s house, waiting for their arrival.
Now, rcedes cars aren’t a novelty, even seen frequently in villages, but a convoy of five rcedes was certainly eye-catching. As Li Yifei and his family entered the village, the villagers stopped to watch, wondering if so high official had co, though they hadn’t heard of any relatives with such grandeur.
The curiosity was about which house the convoy was visiting, as that would imply the power of the host.
The cars stopped at the fourth aunt’s doorstep; Li Yifei’s family alone counted fifteen, plus ng Xiaofei and Su ngfei, as well as Xu Shanshan, adding up to eighteen people.
These eighteen stepping out of the cars instantly dazzled the villagers, who wondered if they were witnessing a beauty contest or model troop, as all were stunning young won.
Surrounded by such beauties, Li Yifei, a robust man, completely lost his luster and went unnoticed.
"Mom, second aunt, third aunt, why are you all stunned?" Song Tao, pulling Liu Ying and puffing up his chest, swept his eyes over the villagers with indescribable pride. Though not his relatives, they were his cousin’s, and he felt proud.
At that mont, Ning Xin’er quickly stepped forward, greeted Li Yifei’s aunts warmly, and said, "Don’t you recognize ?"
"We do, we do!" The three aunts quickly grabbed Ning Xin’er’s hands, their eyes sweeping over the other won. They had heard from Song Tao that Li Yifei now had several wives. Although they felt it wasn’t ideal, wealthy people nowadays keeping lovers seed normal, though they felt sorry for Ning Xin’er, a big star, every man’s dream. Having her as a wife alone was a great fortune.
But seeing the other girls beside Li Yifei, none looked less attractive than Ning Xin’er; so even more so, dazzling their eyes. Where did Li Yifei find all these beauties?
In essence, the three aunts were clearly closest and most familiar with Ning Xin’er. The fourth aunt held Ning Xin’er’s hand, saying, "Xin’er, you haven’t visited for so long, we’ve really missed you."
Ning Xin’er quickly responded, "We’ve been busy lately, and now we’ve all co to see you. Let’s go inside and I’ll introduce everyone."
"Sure, sure." The aunts felt talking to Ning Xin’er alone seed improper and hurried everyone inside.
Despite the fourth aunt’s big house, squeezing seventeen of Li Yifei’s group plus the three aunts’ families inside felt cramped; the fourth aunt quickly urged everyone onto the traditional heated Kang bed.
Xu Yingying and the others felt awkward climbing onto the Kang imdiately upon entering a relative’s house, which didn’t seem proper.
Ning Xin’er, seizing a rare opportunity to be in the spotlight at ho, took off her shoes, climbed onto the Kang and said with a smile, "Co on up, this isn’t a stranger’s house; it’s our in-law’s ho, there’s nothing to be shy about."
"Exactly," agreed the fourth aunt, "everyone co up on the Kang, this is your own ho, don’t be strangers."
Ye Yunzhu, also holding a child, confidently climbed onto the Kang. Su ngxin’s pregnancy was showing, and after a long car ride, she too was tired and took the opportunity to stretch out a bit on the Kang.
Soone took the lead, and Xiao Ling’er and a few others also climbed onto the kang, making the room a bit more spacious.
"This... should be the chief anchor from the TV station, Li Xinyue, right? Ah, and this one must be Song Lianyao?" Third Aunt suddenly exclaid looking at Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao.
Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao were visibly delighted. Although at ho everyone addressed each other as sisters and were equals, they always felt sowhat inferior deep down. In terms of looks, they did not stand out at ho; in terms of social status, many relatives outranked them; and in terms of family background, they did not compare, especially since neither of them had officially been with Li Yifei, so they always felt a bit lower than others at ho.
Now that Li Yifei’s Fourth Aunt had recognized them first, it was indeed a huge surprise. For a mont, both of them were too excited and didn’t know how to react.
Ning Xin’er giggled, "Yes, yes, they are indeed our famous hosts from Mile City."
Fourth Aunt excitedly said, "Really, I am so thrilled. I love watching the programs you host. I never thought I’d see you here."
By now, Li Xinyue had regained her composure and quickly said, "Fourth Aunt, look at what you’re saying, we’re just minor hosts."
"What do you an ’just’? You don’t know how many people in our village like you. During chats, everyone talks about you, especially the young n; whenever you are ntioned, they are all eyes."
Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao both coughed awkwardly. Song Lianyao said, "Fourth Aunt, you’re making it so that Yifei has to scold us when we get ho."
Only then did Fourth Aunt realize and said embarrassedly, "Yes yes, you are now my nieces-in-law. If those young rascals ntion you again, I’ll have to scold them."
Li Xinyue quickly said, "Fourth Aunt, please don’t talk about us anymore. Look at all the people here; each of them is stronger than us."
"Really..." Fourth Aunt and everyone else looked towards Xu Yingying and the others. These won were undoubtedly beautiful, but could they be more impressive than big celebrities?
At this mont, Ning Xin’er said with a smile, "This is Xu Yingying, Yifei’s official and only wife with a certificate. She’s the CEO of a huge company with assets worth billions. Little Tao and the others work there."
Xu Yingying hurriedly said respectfully, "Dear aunties and mothers-in-law, I am Xu Yingying."
The family, having heard from Song Tao, Liu Ying, and ng Lei how grand and impressive the company they worked at was, revered Xu Yingying imnsely in their hearts. Now that she was also their niece-in-law, they found themselves quite nervous while facing her.
"This is Su ngxin, the number one beauty in Huaxia. Not only is she the most beautiful, but she is also exceptionally talented. Previously, she managed nurous companies, and the funds that passed through her hands every day amounted to billions. All of us combined don’t compare to ngxin alone."
Su ngxin said with a smile, "Now I’m focused on having children for Yifei, just peacefully living as a little woman."
Hearing about Su ngxin, Fourth Aunt and the others were sowhat dumbfounded. For them, soone like Su ngxin seed too far out of reach.
"And this is Ye Yunzhu, Yifei’s childhood sweetheart who is now the Director of the City Education Bureau of Mile City."
"Ah, you are Yunzhu..." Several aunties were surprised as they looked at Ye Yunzhu. They knew about her when Li Yifei was in high school dating Ye Yunzhu, and Li Yifei had even brought Ye Yunzhu here to play, but it had been so many years they no longer recognized her.
Ye Yunzhu smiled and said, "Yes, I’ve been here to play before. Back then I even wore pigtails."
Fourth Aunt imdiately said excitedly, "Right, right, I rember you wore a red sweater back then. We all said Yifei found a good girlfriend. Later when Yifei joined the army, we really thought it was such a pity. Now it’s good, you are finally together, even have children, how wonderful."
Third Aunt exclaid with widened eyes, "Yunzhu, Xin’er ntioned that you are now the Director of the City Education Bureau, is that true?"
Ye Yunzhu humbly responded, "I just transferred there, haven’t even worked a full month yet."
With a knowing expression, Third Aunt muttered, seemingly hesitant to say more.
