Chapter 881: Chapter 922 Doubts and Conjectures
Xu Yingying held Little Yixiang for a while before putting her down and said, "Yunzhu, I need to go back to the office to check on things. I’ll co see you again later."
Imdiately, Ye Yunzhu said, "Then you go ahead and get busy. There are so many people here, and besides, my mom is also here, so there’s no shortage of people to take care of ."
"Mhm, then I’m off. Don’t worry, Yifei will take care of the matter with the child’s father. He’ll definitely help you sort it out."
Li Yifei and Xu Yingying left, but first, they went ho. All the way ho, Xu Yingying kept talking about the adorable child and nothing else. Li Yifei tried to change the subject several tis, but Xu Yingying interrupted him each ti.
After delivering the stuff to their ho, Xu Yingying imdiately asked Li Yifei to drive her back to the company. In the car, Li Yifei finally seized the opportunity to ask, "Wife, I feel like you’ve changed a bit since you returned. Did sothing happen?"
Xu Yingying imdiately countered, "Have I changed?"
"Definitely. Even though I can’t specifically point out what’s different, I just feel that you’ve changed."
"Is that so? Maybe it’s because I went out, so I don’t have to face you not knowing how all day, which makes
seem happier."
"Am I that scary? I’ve always given you freedom. You can do whatever you want."
"But that also brings pressure. No matter what, you’re still my husband. Yet, I don’t have any awareness of being a wife, which makes
feel uneasy."
"Really?"
Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei with a skeptical expression and said with a smile, "You don’t think I have sothing going on with Brother Cao, do you?"
Li Yifei confidently smiled. "Heh, of course not."
"Don’t flatter yourself. There’s indeed nothing between him and . I just treat him as a business partner, at most like an alumnus. I’m still wary of him."
Li Yifei felt very comfortable hearing this response. "That’s right, although that guy seems decent, he doesn’t have good intentions."
A mischievous smile appeared on Xu Yingying’s face. "But he did tell
so things."
"What did he say?" Li Yifei suddenly felt alard. Cao Bin really wasn’t a simple character. If this guy deliberately investigated him, he could certainly discover his relationship with Ye Yunzhu and the others.
Xu Yingying said leisurely, "He said... your relationships with several won are ambiguous, like with Su Yiyi, Chu Xiaoyao, and also, the child Yunzhu bore... is yours."
"Ah?" Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat.
"What? Are you startled?"
"Do you believe that?"
"That’s really hard to say. You ntioned Yunzhu having a child, such a big deal, and yet her husband never appears. Moreover, after she got pregnant, she moved into that big house and didn’t return to her own ho. This suggests she has her closest person there. But Su Yiyi, Chu Xiaoyao, and Ning Xin’er don’t seem to be so close to her, do they? Yet now they take such good care of Ye Yunzhu. It seems really weird."
After pausing for a bit and without waiting for Li Yifei to reply, Xu Yingying continued, "Also, Yunzhu’s child is nad Li Yixiang, which is only one character away from Yifei. This seems like a na only sisters would share. Plus, Little Yixiang really does resemble you in so ways. How do you explain that?"
Li Yifei clenched his teeth, feeling that a short pain was better than a long one. Since Xu Yingying had already noticed, he thought he might as well admit it and then have a proper discussion with Xu Yingying. He said, "Well... alright, I admit, they are all related to . Yunzhu’s child is mine."
Li Yifei braced himself for the storm he thought was coming, but to his surprise, Xu Yingying suddenly burst into loud laughter, laughing so hard that Li Yifei felt uneasy. He hurriedly pulled the car over to the side of the road and looked at Xu Yingying anxiously.
"Ha... I guessed you’d say sothing like that. You think I’m stupid? Would I actually believe such an absurd story?"
Li Yifei was suddenly stupefied. What did Xu Yingying an? Did she not believe what he said?
"You, you’re always trying to cheer
up. Yunzhu is a Deputy County Head after all. Knowing that I’m married to you, how could she still have a child with you? Be the other woman willingly? Yiyi is a college student, and although her family is poor, she’s clearly a very self-respecting girl. How could she beco another woman’s third wheel? At most, Xiaoyao might idolize you a bit, but with a child’s temperant, she’ll be attracted to other boys in a few days. You even say they are all ’your people’; you really crack
up. Wouldn’t you like to claim ngxin as your woman too? You’ve even got your hands on Huaxia’s number one beauty."
Not only was Li Yifei stupefied, but he was also petrified. It seed that Xu Yingying did not believe a word he said, nor did she believe what Cao Bin had said. Initially, he had planned to clear things up directly, but now, wanting to clarify anything had beco impossible.
Li Yifei’s thoughts turned quickly, and he smiled: "Then I’m relieved. I was afraid you would believe the nonsense Cao Bin said. But this also indirectly proves that Cao Bin is indeed a petty person."
"Alright, I know he’s up to no good with . I’m keeping an eye on him. But we still rely on him for so business, don’t we? Let’s not talk about this for now. Hurry up to the company. I’ll take these two days to sort things out in the office."
Li Yifei agreed and then dropped Xu Yingying off at her company. Watching her silhouette disappear into the company’s entrance, no longer hearing the sound of her high heels tapping on the ground, Li Yifei then drove away.
He had planned on running so other errands that afternoon, but at this mont, Li Yifei had lost all mood for it. He quickly drove back to the factory, found Xu Shanshan, and recounted the whole story of Xu Yingying’s return today.
"Brother-in-law, do you think... could my sister have rembered?" Xu Shanshan knitted her brows and after a mont, she made a comnt that made Li Yifei second-guess as well.
Li Yifei imdiately responded: "I’ve thought about that too. But when I tested the waters, it seed like your sister had no intention of rembering. If she had rembered, why won’t she speak up now? Why continue the charade?"
Xu Shanshan thought for a mont and said: "Maybe she enjoys the feeling of being alone with you and just wants to be with you by herself. Or maybe in her heart, she’s still thinking of making room for ngxin like she did before her mory loss."
Li Yifei sighed and said: "Both are indeed possibilities. If she has truly rembered and is just not willing to admit it, I really don’t know how to face her now."
Xu Shanshan suddenly twinkled her eyes and said: "Actually, this is easy to solve. I’ll test her out for you tonight."
"How will you test her?" Li Yifei’s eyes lit up. Although he was clever and sufficiently calm and astute in handling matters, if he were facing an interrogation with a captured spy, even if the spy had a strong ntality, Li Yifei was confident he could extract the information he wanted from them.
But this was his wife, his thods were utterly useless, especially when it ca to emotions—he was lacking. Xu Shanshan, however, had many cunning ideas in this area, so Li Yifei still had considerable trust in Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan gave a sly smile and said: "That, for now, is a secret. You’ll find out when the ti cos."
"Shanshan, do you really need to be so mysterious? If you tell
now, I can coordinate with you later."
"No need, I can handle it myself. Just watch and see. I guarantee it’ll work on the first try."
Although Xu Shanshan didn’t tell him, Li Yifei was still full of anticipation. If the test revealed that Xu Yingying truly had regained her mory, regardless of why she chose not to ntion it for the ti being, he could then confront his wife Xu Yingying with a specific strategy. Additionally, he could finally take action on many other matters without being as constrained as he was at the mont.
Before leaving work, Li Yifei called Xu Yingying who told him she’d be ho late. This made Li Yifei quite anxious, but seeing Xu Shanshan’s confidence, he had to suppress his nervousness.
The two of them didn’t go back to their own hos first but instead went to see Ye Yunzhu. Li Yifei also ntioned his suspicions about Xu Yingying regaining her mory.
Ye Yunzhu and the others imdiately believed Li Yifei had a point; after all, Xu Yingying’s return did seem unusual. If she had indeed regained her mory and was intentionally concealing it, that would explain Xu Yingying’s behavior even more.
But like Li Yifei, they didn’t understand Xu Yingying’s reasons and had no solution at hand. Who would dare to ask Xu Yingying, and if she hadn’t actually recovered her mory, that could blow things out of proportion.
However, Li Yifei didn’t ntion the fact that Xu Shanshan had a way to test the waters. After all, the affair between him and Xu Shanshan, except for Su ngxin, was unknown to anyone else. For the ti being, at least, Li Yifei didn’t want them to be aware of their relationship.
After sitting for a while, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan went back, leaving Little Yifei behind. Back at ho, Li Yifei prepared dinner and waited for Xu Yingying’s return.
Around nine o’clock, Xu Yingying finally called Li Yifei to pick her up, and in the car, she talked to him about so factory matters—all business-related. This, at least, was no different from usual; Xu Yingying was always so earnest when it ca to work.
Li Yifei didn’t say anything else. Once ho, it was Xu Shanshan’s turn to probe, and he didn’t need to make an idle effort.
Finally ho, Li Yifei was filled with imnse anticipation. The most crucial mont was approaching—whether Xu Yingying had genuinely recovered her mory. It all depended on Xu Shanshan now, and Li Yifei was especially eager to see what thod she would use.
