59: Chapter 59: Xu Yingying Loses Completely
Lin Fei was in a dilemma and utterly vexed.
Being invited to dine by two extraordinary beauties should have been a matter of great honor and excitent.
However, no man could be happy when the won picked the sa ti slot.
Choosing between Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei was an incredibly tricky problem, especially after Shen Peini saw that Lin Fei did not leave and once again entered Ling Weiwei’s office.
Four eyes, two pairs of beautiful pupils, unblinkingly fixed on Lin Fei, it was clear both were waiting for Lin Fei to make a choice.
Shen Peini had put aside her pride to invite him in a roundabout way, which was one thing, as she didn’t take modesty seriously.
But for Ling Weiwei to pressure him so openly, that was sothing Lin Fei couldn’t fathom.
You’d think a departnt head would have so decorum when pressuring her subordinate.
Yet, Ling Weiwei did just that.
This also indirectly proved that Weiwei had confird her feelings for Lin Fei.
Without Shen Peini, Weiwei might have subtly let Lin Fei sense her affection, but with Shen Peini around, it rather sparked Weiwei’s sense of crisis.
“If Shen Peini can invite Lin Fei, why can’t I?” Ling Weiwei was determined to disrupt the date between Lin Fei and Shen Peini.
Modesty and sha were things Weiwei could no longer afford to consider.
“Penny, it’s not really appropriate for you to blatantly steal a man from , is it?”
Shen Peini was no push-over, and with a casual remark, she left Weiwei slightly blushing and nearly unable to fend for herself.
“Weiwei, you’re still young, and you could have any type of man you want.
But I’m different, I’m already an old maid, and it’s rare for
to find soone who makes my heart flutter.
Could you bear to compete with
for him?”
Seeing that Weiwei still wasn’t backing down, Shen Peini deployed a mix of soft and hard tactics, short only of crying, causing a scene, and threatening suicide.
“Sister Shen, I didn’t an anything else.
I just wanted to thank Lin Fei for saving my life.
As for whom to choose, let’s leave it up to Lin Fei himself.”
In the arena of vying for a man, Weiwei was clearly no match for Shen Peini, but Weiwei didn’t want to let Lin Fei enjoy a private world with Shen Peini either.
So, she bit the bullet and kicked the ball into Lin Fei’s court.
Just as Lin Fei was figuring out how to escape this awkward situation, his phone suddenly rang.
Joy spread across Lin Fei’s face—this call couldn’t have co at a better ti.
He imdiately pulled out his phone and answered the call in front of both won.
“Uncle, it’s an ergency, where are you?
Hurry up and save .”
The call was from Xu Yingying, and as soon as Lin Fei picked up, the girl scread for help.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Fei would mostly ignore this crazy girl, but today her cry for help was perfectly tid.
Such an excuse served on a silver platter, Lin Fei knew exactly how to take advantage of.
“Yingying, you must hold on, I’m on my way.”
Imdiately, Lin Fei bellowed into the phone, his face painted with urgency.
Anyone unaware of the context would certainly think Xu Yingying was soone extraordinarily dear to Lin Fei.
Even Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, standing beside Lin Fei, couldn’t detect any flaw on his face.
“What’s going on?”
“Do you need help?”
Since Lin Fei’s phone was on speaker, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei naturally heard Xu Yingying’s frantic cries for help coming from Lin Fei’s phone.
Underneath the young girl’s evident cries for help, both won forgot about competing for Lin Fei and almost simultaneously asked Lin Fei what had happened.
“There’s no ti to explain, I’m going ahead.” If he didn’t run now, when would he?
Lin Fei dashed out of Ling Weiwei’s office like a whirlwind, leaving behind only his rushing figure for the two won.
“Sister Shen, should we call the police?”
After Lin Fei had left, a touch of worry inevitably crept onto Weiwei’s pretty face.
“Let’s not for now, we still don’t understand what exactly happened.”
Although Shen Peini verbally suggested restraint, she too harbored so concerns.
Probably, even Xu Yingying didn’t expect her call for help to elicit shared concern from two powerhouse won like Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei.
This was mainly because the two won were not familiar with the willful nature of Xu Yingying, and of course, Lin Fei’s extre reactive capabilities and Emperor-Level acting were also crucial.
Sohow, as Lin Fei disappeared from her sight, Ling Weiwei blurted out almost subconsciously, “He won’t be in any trouble, will he?”
Shen Peini grinned, teasing Weiwei as she turned back, “Tell , Director Ling, you’re not seriously falling for this guy, are you?
Since when did your standards drop so low?”
“Sister Shen, what are you thinking?
I just wanted to invite him for a al, to express my thanks, nothing more.”
Lin Fei suddenly left the scene, which naturally put an end to any competition for him.
With the competitive edge gone, Ling Weiwei’s face instantly blushed at the words of Shen Peini.
“Is that really all there is?”
Shen Peini giggled, her slender and alluring phoenix eyes examining Ling Weiwei from top to bottom, a hint of intrigue flashing through her gaze, “If President Ling really has no interest in this guy, then I guess I’ll have to make a move.”
“Shen, what’s so great about Lin Fei that you’re so eager to throw yourself at him?”
Instead of answering Shen Peini’s question, Ling Weiwei started questioning her.
In the workplace, Ling Weiwei would not be outdone by Shen Peini, but when it ca to matters of the heart, Shen Peini was undoubtedly more mature.
“My silly sister, a woman’s greatest asset is her youth.
But this asset fades over ti.
To et the right person in the pri of our beauty is a blessing from the heavens.
If we don’t seize the mont now, do we have to wait until we’re old and faded to pursue happiness?”
Shen Peini’s remarks sent Ling Weiwei into deep thought; youth was indeed the greatest but also the most fleeting asset of a woman.
Ling Weiwei hadn’t really paid attention to the passage of ti before, but after what Shen Peini said, she suddenly realized that she too had reached marriageable age.
After a while, Ling Weiwei lifted her delicate chin slightly, “So, you’re saying Lin Fei is the right person for you?”
“To tell the truth, I don’t know, but there’s definitely sothing about him that fascinates .”
“Like what?”
“A sense of mystery and security.”
…
Without looking back, Lin Fei rushed out of Moongaze Building and finally caught his breath.
It had been a long ti since he had encountered a situation from which he needed to escape.
If he had a choice, Lin Fei would rather face two rcenary teams on the battlefield than turn back to confront Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei again.
If it were just either of them inviting Lin Fei out alone, it would be a delightful affair.
But together, they were a disaster.
Ten minutes after leaving Moongaze Building, Lin Fei suddenly rembered that he had been so focused on making his escape that he hadn’t listened to what Xu Yingying was saying.
He just rembered that it seed like she was asking for help, but he had no clue about the specifics.
After all, the girl had indirectly helped him, so he pulled out his phone and called Xu Yingying back, “Hey, girl, what were you saying earlier?”
“Uncle, are you even capable?
You didn’t hear what I said and yet reacted so strongly.
I thought you really cared about , Uncle, but you’ve disappointed …”
“Alright, what’s going on?
If it’s nothing, I’m hanging up.”
Hearing Xu Yingying’s voice, still bursting with energy, Lin Fei let out a sigh of relief, preparing to end the call.
Lin Fei thought that this annoying girl was probably trying to trick him into coming over again, no doubt with so new sche awaiting him.
Although Xu Yingying was exuberant, having this girl by his side always made Lin Fei feel as if he were back in his student days.
However, having just roared with her in a bar a few days ago, he was not inclined to join her for drinks.
Compared to that, Lin Fei preferred to spend his nightlife with mature and fetching won like Shen Peini.
Just as Lin Fei was considering whether to send a ssage to Shen Peini to renegotiate their nightlife plans, Xu Yingying on the other end of the phone began wailing.
“Don’t hang up, don’t hang up, Uncle!
I’ve lost my car to soone else.
If you don’t help , I’ll have to use myself as a betting stake, wu wu—”
While speaking, Xu Yingying’s voice on the phone wavered with sobs.
Although Lin Fei knew that Xu Yingying was probably being dramatic, he genuinely couldn’t bring himself to hang up; despite her mischief, her nature wasn’t bad.
“Clarify it for , what exactly happened?”
With the car lost and gambling involved, Lin Fei couldn’t ignore it any longer, so he asked patiently for Xu Yingying to explain what had transpired.
Under Lin Fei’s stern questioning, Xu Yingying finally managed to explain the whole ss.
Tempted by a few classmates’ invitations, Xu Yingying took her rcedes crossover to Lianpan Mountain for a street race.
It was easy to guess the outco with her half-baked skills.
After a few laps, not only did she lose all her money, but she also put up her credit card.
With a temperant like Xu Yingying’s, not willing to give up after losing so much money, she eventually wagered her car as well.
The result was that she lost the car too.
Realizing the gravity of her losses, Xu Yingying finally beca scared.
Losing money was one thing, she could always ask her family for more, but she had no way out after losing the car.
On the phone, Xu Yingying cried pitifully, repeatedly telling Lin Fei how bleak her fate would be if her mother found out about this, nearly painting herself as the Little Match Girl.
In the end, Xu Yingying resorted to using seduction tactics, even daring to tempt Lin Fei with herself.
Lin Fei bluntly responded that he wasn’t a pedophile, shutting her down with a single sentence.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fei gave up on the idea of contacting Shen Peini again and hailed a cab to rush towards Lianpan Mountain.
