Chapter 512: Chapter 522 What Do You MeanLi Yifei drove Ye Yunzhu and Zhou Xiaoyue to Mile City the next day because Ye Yunzhu had to report to the Municipal Organization Department in the city in the morning, so they left the provincial city just after 4 AM. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyue, the little girl, had also gotten up early. It was not possible to leave her behind.
There were three people in the car, with Zhou Xiaoyue sitting in the back, leaning between the two front seats, and cheerfully saying, "Cousin-in-law, I have something to ask my cousin. You wonât mind, will you?"
Li Yifei knew what she wanted to ask and said with a smile, "Go ahead and ask."
Zhou Xiaoyue, seeing that Li Yifei really didnât make excuses, knew that Ye Yunzhu must be aware of the matter but still asked, "Cousin, do you know Chu Xiaoyao?"
Ye Yunzhu turned her head and gave Li Yifei a glare before saying to Zhou Xiaoyue, "How could I not know her? Arenât you good friends with her? You must know about that girlâs relationship with Yifei."
Zhou Xiaoyue immediately widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, cousin, you actually know? Doesnât that mean cousin-in-law is keeping a mistress outside? And you agree?"
Ye Yunzhu snorted, "I thought about not agreeing, but only if that were possible."
"Really? If you didnât agree, cousin-in-law wouldnât be so ruthless to still keep a mistress, right?"
Talking about this made Ye Yunzhu feel annoyed. She wasnât even Li Yifeiâs official wife yet; she was the mistress. As for Chu Xiaoyao, she could only be the mistress number four. Besides, this jerk Li Yifei had not just Chu Xiaoyao, but also Ning Xinâer and Su Yiyi. Thatâs five women, and oh, thereâs Michelle too, who had spoken out in front of everyone that day.
Seeing that Ye Yunzhuâs expression was not good, Zhou Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and said, "It seems that you donât really agree, cousin."
Ye Yunzhu patted Zhou Xiaoyue on the head and said, "Youâre just a kid, why are you meddling in such things?"
Zhou Xiaoyue tilted her neck and said, "Iâm not a kid anymore. Havenât you seen my classmate Chu Xiaoyao becoming cousin-in-lawâs mistress? Canât I have a relationship then?"
"Relationship my foot. If you dare to date, I bet your aunt will flay you alive."
Zhou Xiaoyue pouted. Her mother didnât care much about other things, but she was very strict about dating. In high school, her mom had warned the teachers that if she got too close to any boy, the teachers would report to her mom, and then sheâd face an interrogation. Still defiant, she said, "That was high school, okay? Iâm about to go to college now. Iâll be living on campus, and she wonât be able to control me anymore."
"Alright, alright. Take care of your own business, and stop worrying about mine."
"Iâm not worried, okay? Iâm just really curious. Plus, cousin, if you really donât want cousin-in-law to be with Xiaoyao, I can seriously talk to Xiaoyao. Despite you being my cousin and my allegiance is with you, I donât want to see you fight my good friend."
"Am I that kind of person?" Ye Yunzhu said, rolling her eyes in irritation.
"You bullied me plenty when I was little; I know what youâre like," Zhou Xiaoyue retorted with a pursed lip.
Li Yifei, however, chuckled at this. Ye Yunzhu was quite feisty in high school, and before they dated, he had been on the receiving end of her bossiness several times.
Ye Yunzhu felt embarrassed and glared at Li Yifei, "What are you laughing at? Do you think Iâm too tough?"
Li Yifei laughed out loud and said, "Not at all. I knew you were tough from the start. Iâm used to you bullying me. If you didnât, I would feel uncomfortable."
Li Yifeiâs words flattered Ye Yunzhu, who proudly said, "Thatâs because you need a good handling to feel comfortable."
"Thatâs right, Yunzhu should keep me in line in the future."
Zhou Xiaoyue watched them, growing even more puzzled. It seemed that Ye Yunzhu should be able to keep Li Yifei in check, yet he still managed to keep a mistress outside. What kind of rhythm was this?
Zhou Xiaoyue wanted to ask more, but Ye Yunzhu had closed her eyes and said, "Iâm going to sleep, sleep. We got up so early, and if youâre not tired, I am. I still have to get to the Municipal Committee today, so donât disturb me."
Zhou Xiaoyue knew that her cousin wouldnât say anymore. Although she felt reluctant, she knew today was a very important day for Ye Yunzhu and didnât dare disturb her sleep. Zhou Xiaoyue pouted and closed her eyes too. Despite waking up excited that morning, as soon as she closed her eyes, sleepiness overtook her, and she quickly fell asleep.
When Zhou Xiaoyue woke up again, it was Li Yifei waking her, and she mumbled, "Cousin-in-law, have we arrived?"
"Weâve arrived. Where are you going now?" Li Yifei turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaoyue.
"My cousin has already left, so of course, Iâm going to see Xiaoyao. Hurry up and take me there," Zhou Xiaoyue instantly became excited.
Li Yifei smiled and said, "All right then."
Li Yifei directly took Zhou Xiaoyue to his original home, where he had already notified Chu Xiaoyao to wait for them. He also instructed Chu Xiaoyao not to mention Xu Yingying. Chu Xiaoyao, although not completely obedient to Li Yifei and could be mischievous, understood the gravity of the situation. She would usually fool around, but she knew not to mention it at this time.
The two girls embraced each other exuberantly as soon as they met. Since Chu Xiaoyao had gone to Capital City with Li Yifei, they hadnât seen each other at all.
The two chattered for a few moments, then Chu Xiaoyao pulled Zhou Xiaoyue to the sofa, smiling as she said, "Little Yue, how come youâre here?"
Zhou Xiaoyue glanced at Li Yifei, rubbed her nose, and replied, "Your uncle went to my grandfatherâs house, so I came back with him."
"To your grandfatherâs house? But didnât uncle go to the provincial city?" Chu Xiaoyao looked puzzledly at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei actually found Chu Xiaoyaoâs ability to lie quite impressive, with not even a blink, and he laughed, "I did go to the provincial city, thatâs where Little Yueâs grandfather lives."
"What were you doing at Little Yueâs house?" Chu Xiaoyao asked, completely befuddled.
Zhou Xiaoyue giggled and asked, "Xiaoyao, do you know who your uncleâs legitimate wife is?"
"Of course, itâs Ye Yunzhu, isnât it?" Chu Xiaoyao responded without hesitation, even rolling her eyes at Li Yifei.
Zhou Xiaoyue burst into hearty laughter, boastfully said, "Then do you know what Ye Yunzhu is to me?"
"What is she to you?" Chu Xiaoyaoâs eyes widened.
"Sheâs my cousin, hehe, your uncle is my cousin-in-law now. So, if you want to be the mistress, you better start currying favor with me," Zhou Xiaoyue crossed her legs, looking even more proud.
Chu Xiaoyao cried out in surprise, "No way? Can it really be such a coincidence?"
"Itâs exactly that coincidental, hehe, Xiaoyao, by that logic, weâre relatives now."
"That counts as relatives? Alright then, relatives it is. I must say, Sister Xiaoyue, you canât mess up my good thing, okay?"
Watching Chu Xiaoyaoâs ingratiating appearance, Zhou Xiaoyue became even more triumphant, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she said, "That depends on how you behave. If you do well, I might put in a good word for you and keep my cousin from giving you trouble."
"Absolutely, Sister Xiaoyue, are your legs tired? Let me give you a massage?"
"Hmm, not a bad idea." Zhou Xiaoyue promptly rested her feet on the coffee table, and Chu Xiaoyao began gently massaging Zhou Xiaoyueâs legs.
Watching the two play around, Li Yifei smiled and said, "Alright, Xiaoyao, you take care of Xiaoyue. I have things to do and need to leave first."
"Okay, you go ahead with your things," Chu Xiaoyao immediately responded obediently.
Zhou Xiaoyue was displeased and said, "Hey, cousin-in-law, youâre just going to leave me here and not care?"
"If you need anything, give me a call."
"Thatâs not what I meant. I meant arenât you going to stay and keep us company?"
"I have something to do. For lunch, you and Xiaoyao go out to eat. If youâre going home tonight, Iâll come to take you."
"Ew, how dull." Zhou Xiaoyue pouted her lips, her body swaying as she coquettishly said, "Cousin-in-law, Iâm not leaving today, Iâm going to stay here."
Chu Xiaoyao, however, glared and said, "Why would you stay here? Thereâs only one bed here, and do you think I want to be uncleâs mistress too?"
Zhou Xiaoyueâs face turned crimson, and she slapped Chu Xiaoyao lightly, scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting? Iâm not like you and my cousin, treating him like some treasure. I donât think heâs that great."
Chu Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good, if you wanted to be uncleâs mistress too, that would be a problem for me. What should I do, agree or not? Youâre my good friend; it would be rotten of me not to agree, but if I did, my cousin surely wouldnât agree, and if it came to blows, that would be trouble."
"Go on, as if youâve got that thick a skin."
Li Yifei watched the two women bicker and just laughed, saying, "Well then, I really must leave now. You two have fun."
This time, Zhou Xiaoyue dared not say anything else; who knew what else Chu Xiaoyao might come up with. After Li Yifei left, the two stopped quarreling and instead began to chat non-stop, with Zhou Xiaoyue inquiring about Chu Xiaoyao and Ye Yunzhuâs affairs. Chu Xiaoyao related the events of her time with Xu Yingying in an increasingly exaggerated and vivid manner for Zhou Xiaoyue to hear.
Zhou Xiaoyue listened with rapt attention, a young girl at an age where love was a deep yearning. Although Chu Xiaoyaoâs and Ye Yunzhuâs relationships with Li Yifei were somewhat unconventional, they made for an interesting tale to hear.
There was another thing; while her fatherâs side of the family didnât have any problems, the Ye familyâs history included a grandfather with three wives. Although they were all gone now, it was no secret within the Ye family. While her motherâs generation was quite normal, among her generation, several male cousins, due to the familyâs influence, had mistresses even if they were married. Thus, she had grown quite accustomed to such situations.
