Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Cursing on the StreetAfter eating the meal cooked by Li Yifei, Su Mengxin couldnât help but silently praise him in her heart. If she had a husband like Li Yifei, eating his cooking every day, she would certainly be very happy.
Reaching Su Mengxinâs level, her criteria for a boyfriend were different from others. She didnât look for background, nor appearance, nor whether he had money. What mattered most was whether the man could make her feel at home, whether he could offer her a sense of security with his strong arms, and Li Yifei met her requirements perfectly.
Su Mengxin was also a woman who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Just her presence in Li Yifeiâs life was already puzzling to him; if she confessed her feelings too soon, she feared Li Yifei might be scared off. Her plan was to let Li Yifei truly fall for her.
So after dinner, she went back home early.
Meng Xiaofei, however, lingered and was reluctant to leave until Li Yifei gave her a thousand yuan. She then cheerfully said to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, youâre really awesome. Iâll pay you back when I get my salary."
Li Yifei didnât care much about money, and smilingly said, "Whether you pay me back or not, I donât really mind. But you should still spend wisely. I donât have much money in my hands, and if itâs all spent too quickly, I wonât have any extra to help you. Then both of us will end up without food, and that would be tragic."
"Hehe, I wonât let that happen."
Li Yifei truly didnât trust Meng Xiaofei; this girl clearly had no concept of money. To put it plainly, she was someone who just didnât know how to manage her life. Hoping she would spend her money carefully was probably expecting too much, as if waiting for the sun to rise from the west.
After Meng Xiaofei left, it was past eight oâclock, and Li Yifei no longer felt like going out. He simply exercised a bit at home, a practice he couldnât possibly give up after years of routine, even after returning to the city.
After taking a shower, Li Yifei lay in bed and his thoughts once again turned to Su Mengxin, but he couldnât understand why she would come here. A pile of reasons proved it was unreasonable for her to be here, yet he couldnât find a single appropriate reason for her presence.
"Forget it, I wonât think about it anymore. Iâm just an ordinary person now; whatever she wants to do has nothing to do with me."
Li Yifei decided not to think about it anymore, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Li Yifei went straight to the company. While waiting for the elevator, he encountered He Fangqing again.
During this time, although they were still working at the same company, they hadnât crossed paths once. Seeing He Fangqing again, Li Yifei could clearly see she looked much more haggard, with slightly sunken eyes and dark circles. Although her makeup concealed it somewhat, it was still noticeable.
"Director He!" There were quite a few people around, so Li Yifei just greeted her normally.
He Fangqing greeted him back, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then said nothing.
After stepping into the elevator, Li Yifei and He Fangqing went directly to the fourteenth floor before getting off. He Fangqing seemed a bit flustered and whispered, "Why are you following me?"
"Director He, for such a small matter, you just have to tell me, and Iâll help you out," Li Yifei said loudly, then winked at He Fangqing.
He Fangqing immediately got the hint and quickly replied, "Of course, thatâs not part of your job, but Iâm asking for your help."
"Director He, youâre too kind."
Their conversation sounded completely normal, and then they walked straight into He Fangqingâs office.
After closing the door, He Fangqing let out a sigh of relief, gave Li Yifei a reproachful look, and said, "What are you up to? Coming to my office in broad daylight?"
Li Yifei looked at He Fangqing and smiled, "I havenât seen you for several days. Have you been sleeping poorly lately?"
He Fangqing felt a lump in her throat, and tears nearly flowed out. These past days had been really distressing for her, but she had no one to confide in. Li Yifeiâs concern made it all the more difficult for her.
"Itâs nothing." He Fangqing shook her head lightly, forced a smile, and turned to sit behind her desk.
Li Yifei followed and sat down opposite her, saying, "If youâre having any trouble, you can talk to me. I can still help you with that."
He Fangqing, avoiding Li Yifeiâs gaze, pretended to look at the reports on her desk and said, "Thereâs really nothing wrong."
"Hehe, I know you want to keep your distance, but donât worry, Iâm not clingy. Itâs just a friendâs concern. If you feel like talking, go ahead."
Finally, He Fangqing looked up, her eyes slightly red, and said, "These past few days, that woman has been harassing me by calling me in the middle of the night, itâs driving me crazy."
Li Yifei knew the woman He Fangqing mentioned was her ex-husbandâs current partner, and this woman was shameless enough. Not only had she stolen someoneâs husband, but now she was relentlessly harassing He Fangqing. He didnât understand what her intentions could be.
"Then when you see her call, just donât answer," he suggested.
"I also want to ignore it, but she changes her number every day."
"Then simply turn off your phone."
He Fangqing shook her head painfully and said, "Sigh, I do turn it off at night, but she still calls my office during the day. Iâm really going insane."
Li Yifei frowned and asked, "What does she actually want to do?"
"She just wants to drag me through the mud. If sheâs not swearing, sheâs saying disgusting things."
Although He Fangqing put it simply, Li Yifei knew it wasnât that simple. Otherwise, He Fangqing wouldnât be so distressed.
Just then, the phone on the desk rang. He Fangqingâs body tensed, and with a look of panic, she stared at the phone, not daring to answer it.
"Answer it!" Li Yifei encouraged her.
Only then did He Fangqing, trembling with fear, pick up the phone. After hearing the words on the other end, her expression relaxed, and she said, "Okay, Iâll get ready and head over right away."
After hanging up, He Fangqing smiled at Li Yifei and said, "It was President Xuâs call."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the phone rang again. This time He Fangqing hesitated before answering, but her face immediately turned angry and aggrieved.
"Could you please stop harassing me? What you and he have has nothing to do with me. I have no relationship with him anymore; he is him, and I am me... you..." Halfway through, He Fangqingâs face turned ashen, and her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing He Fangqing like this, Li Yifei felt irritated. He leaned over, snatched the phone, and immediately heard a womanâs brazen laughter: "Haha... He Fangqing, you bitch. Do you think youâre safe in the branch office? Iâm telling you, unless you leave the entire group, I will not let you live in peace."
Although Su Juan acted like a shrew in front of He Fangqing, she had never actually confronted anyone directly. It was He Fangqingâs weakness that made her unbridled. But Li Yifeiâs retort was something she couldnât tolerate. She yelled, "Who are you?"
"Iâm your father. I wonder why I was so stupid to have shot into your motherâs stomach. If Iâd known you would turn out like this, Iâd rather have splattered it on the wall. Having a cheap daughter like you, I must be really unlucky."
"You..."
"What you what? With your bear-like appearance, only a fool like Chen Mingsheng would fancy you. Donât you understand why heâs with you? Youâre hounding Director He because you know very well that Chen Mingsheng is only after your money; he doesnât give a damn about your fatty flesh. If you had any self-confidence, would you chase Director He and scold her? Your aggressiveness proves your lack of confidence and your guilt. Haha, Iâd wager that once that bastard Chen Mingsheng gets enough benefits from you, heâll surely dump you like the deadweight you are."
"You... you..."
"Donât get too worked up, with your fatso figure, you definitely have high blood lipids, high blood pressure, heart disease, AIDS, and whatnot. If you suddenly drop dead from anger, not even a slaughterhouse would want you."
Li Yifeiâs tirade left Su Juan speechless, with no comeback. In the end, she slammed the phone down in a fury.
"What are you doing? Shouting and screaming in the company?" Li Yifei had scolded to his heartâs content, only for Xu Yingyingâs cold voice to follow.
Turning around, Li Yifei saw Xu Yingying standing behind him, arms folded, frowning at him. He forced a sheepish smile and said, "I was just venting for Director He."
Xu Yingying glared at him and said, "You call this venting for her? It looks like youâre just causing her trouble. You think Su Juan is easy to provoke? Sheâs the daughter of the vice-chairman of the head office."
Li Yifei immediately replied, "President Xu, with all due respect, if youâre too weak with evil people like her, theyâll just get bolder. If theyâre nasty, you have to be nastier. She swears at Director He, and Director He gets upset. I swear at her, and she gets upset too. Our principle should be not to get upset ourselves and let those who love being angry get upset instead."
Xu Yingying, both angered and amused, said, "You sure have plenty of flawed logic, but what you said was really unpleasant to hear. If others heard it, how bad would that be? I know you care about Sister Fangqing, so when you have time, just keep her company. That way, sheâll feel better."
He Fangqingâs face flushed at once. Since the night she stayed with Li Yifei at Xu Yingyingâs home, Xu Yingying had regarded them as a couple, but she knew very well that she and Li Yifei were impossible.
