Chapter 1009: Chapter 1050: Consoling Meng XiaofeiLi Yifei thought Meng Xiaofei was a Meng Family Member for a reason. Meng Xiaofei had mentioned before that she was from a major family and left early because she disliked the atmosphere at home. The only prominent family named Meng seemed to be the one in Capital City.
After Li Yifei killed Meng Xiaojun and returned to Mile City, Meng Xiaofei also happened to return to Mile City and mentioned that she attended a friendâs funeral. It was clear that she must have attended Meng Xiaojunâs funeral. Although she didnât like the Meng Family, Meng Xiaojun was still her relative. Even if they werenât siblings, they could have been cousins.
Moreover, after Meng Xiaofei returned, when Li Yifei carried her back to her room, the sleep talk Meng Xiaofei uttered included saying she didnât want to harm him. It seemed that the Meng Family knew about Meng Xiaofeiâs relationship with him and wanted her to do something that could harm him. However, remembering Li Yifeiâs kindness, she didnât want to do such a thing.
At this moment, Li Yifei held no resentment towards Meng Xiaofei and was actually very sympathetic. For someone as straightforward as Meng Xiaofei to be involved in such a situation was utterly difficult. The dilemma and the struggle made it even harder for her to bear.
The next morning, when Li Yifei went to eat, Meng Xiaofei, who usually greeted him spiritedly, was notably evasive, not acting as carefree as she had been the night before. This led Li Yifei to guess that Meng Xiaofei must have received another urgent message from the Meng Family, making her unable to face him.
With some time left before the meal, Li Yifei smiled and said to Meng Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, I need to talk to you about something."
"Huh?" Meng Xiaofei gasped, turning her head away to avoid Li Yifeiâs gaze and chuckled, "I have nothing to say."
Li Yifei tapped on the top of Meng Xiaofeiâs head and said, "You might have nothing, but I do. Come on, letâs talk in your room."
"I...Iâd rather not," Meng Xiaofei murmured with her head down.
"What do you mean ânoâ? Are you even daring to disobey your brother now?" Li Yifei, without further discussion, pulled Meng Xiaofei into the room and locked the door behind him.
This made Meng Xiaofei extremely nervous. She stammered, "Brother Li, what... what do you want to say? Why did you lock the door?"
Li Yifei looked at Meng Xiaofei, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and spoke softly, "Xiaofei, you silly girl, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"
"I...I..." Meng Xiaofei started, with her eyes reddening.
With an even gentler and apologetic tone, Li Yifei continued, "Silly girl, I know youâre a Meng Family Member, I know Meng Xiaojun was your brother. If I had thought it through, for your sake, I would have certainly spared his life."
Meng Xiaofeiâs lips trembled slightly as she said, "You knew?"
"Youâre not good at lying. When youâre troubled, itâs clear to see. Ironically, it was my lack of attention that made others remind me of your connection to the Meng Family."
Meng Xiaofeiâs nose twitched, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes before streaming down her cheeks. She sobbed, "Brother Li, youâve been really good to me, not like them, who just want to force me to do things I donât want to do."
"I know itâs hard for you. On one side, thereâs your blood family, and on the other, thereâs me. Hehe, do I think that I am more important to you than your own family?"
Meng Xiaofei shook her head vigorously and said, "Not at all! Though I have two blood brothers and several cousins, none of them have truly made me feel cared for like brothers. Only you, Brother Li, have truly provided me the caring and pampering akin to an elder brother. In my heart, youâre much closer than they are."
As she spoke, Meng Xiaofei rested her head on Li Yifeiâs chest and began sobbing loudly.
Li Yifei did not stop her, but instead gently patted her back. He knew she had been holding back her emotions these past few days. If she didnât let it out, he feared she might fall ill.
Meng Xiaofeiâs crying grew louder until she was nearly wailing, but after about a minute, her cries softened and eventually stopped.
Lifting her head, Meng Xiaofei wiped away her tears and flashed Li Yifei a smile, saying, "Brother Li, crying it out really made me feel a lot better."
With a smile, Li Yifei said, "Yes, youâre not someone who can keep things bottled up. Donât hold back in the future. If thereâs anything, just tell me, and Iâll help you sort it out."
"Mmm!" Meng Xiaofei nodded vigorously and added, "Iâve made up my mind. Although they are my blood relatives, the things they want me to do are meant to harm you, and I canât let that happen. If something happened to you, then no one would take care of me."
"If you disobey them, you are betraying your family," Li Yifei said as he wiped away her tears.
"Iâm not afraid. Iâve betrayed them before, and Iâve been fine on my own for many years. Life has been happier with you more than it ever was with them. If they are upset and donât want me anymore, then let it be, because you wonât abandon me, right?"
"Yes, are you my sister? If you donât want to get married, Iâll take care of you for the rest of my life."
"I knew my brother was the best to me, hee hee, never mind, Iâm changing my phone number today so they canât find me."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Xiaofei, thereâs another question I need to ask you."
"What question?" Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "No matter what the question is, Iâll answer it."
Li Yifei gave a brief smile, but immediately turned serious and said, "Xiaofei, I wonât hide it from you, thereâs bound to be a conflict with the Meng Family, itâs just a matter of time. If that day really comes, Iâm really afraid itâll be tough for you."
This time, Meng Xiaofei responded quite casually, "Whatâs so tough about that? They fight with this family and that family every day. There are always wins and losses. If they lose to you, thatâs normal too."
"What if, because of the fight, someone gets hurt... like Meng Xiaojun losing his life?"
"That... well, whatever then. They are always like that. Helping you, I feel guilty for the gratitude I owe them; helping them, I feel guilty for how good youâve been to me. So, I might as well help neither side and just do what makes me happy. Lifeâs only a few decades long; why not just enjoy it while Iâm young? Why care so much?"
Li Yifei didnât know whether to say Meng Xiaofei was open-minded or heartless, but he had to admit, such people lived happier lives. Those who carry burdens in their hearts live tired lives.

"Mm, itâs good you think this way, but out of consideration for you, Iâll try to show some mercy to the Meng Family."
"Hee hee, that works too. Then I can go home and brag, telling them if it wasnât for me, Meng Xiaofei, having a good brother like you, theyâd all be finished, haha... That would be so cool."
Li Yifeiâs face darkened instantly; Meng Xiaofeiâs heart was indeed very big.
Li Yifei patted Meng Xiaofeiâs shoulder and said, "Alright, if you can think this way, then letâs go out for a meal."
Meng Xiaofei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, eating is most important."
Li Yifei held onto Meng Xiaofei and said, "Look at you, switching between crying and laughing. Your face is all smeared. You better clean up quickly."
Meng Xiaofei exclaimed and quickly pulled out a tissue, wiping her face, while Li Yifei looked around the room, frowning and said, "Iâm really fed up with you, I donât know who would be unlucky enough to marry you; this place always looks like a dogâs nest."
Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I just wonât get married."
Li Yifei shook his head and went to help Meng Xiaofei tidy up, picking up a pile of undergarments like panties, bras, and stockings in an instant. Fortunately, Li Yifei was used to seeing these things; otherwise, imagining Meng Xiaofei wearing them could really make his nose bleed.
"Are these cleaned?" asked Li Yifei as he casually looked around.
"I donât know, Iâll wash them later," Meng Xiaofei said, slightly embarrassed.
Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "You should leave it to the maid, you lazy pig."
Meng Xiaofei grinned and said, "Yes, yes, Iâm a lazy pig, or why else would I cling to a good brother like Brother Li who treats me well and never leave? Iâm afraid there wonât be another chance like this. Hereâs another one." Meng Xiaofei pulled out a pair of underwear from under her pillow and threw it directly at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei, completely unprepared, had it smack onto his face and quickly peeled it off, both annoyed and amused, saying, "You girl, throwing your underwear at my face."
Meng Xiaofei laughed heartily and said, "Itâs quite fun, maybe next time Iâll put underwear on your head, that would look really cool."
Li Yifei was speechless, wondering if this girl could ever behave, show some restraint, or act a bit more ladylike. But he also knew, for the rest of her life, Meng Xiaofei was unlikely to change, and he could only let it be.
From entering to leaving, Li Yifei didnât ask Meng Xiaofei how exactly the Meng Family planned to deal with him. It would have been difficult for her, or rather, it would have forced her to take his side. Although he knew that if he asked, Meng Xiaofei would definitely tell him, he didnât want to put her in a tough position.
After the two came out, no one asked much. They had heard the cries from inside, and seeing Meng Xiaofei come out all smiles, they knew that Li Yifei had resolved her troubles, and that was
