Chapter 507 - 517: Ignoring Li Yifei
Chapter 507: Chapter 517: Ignoring Li YifeiYe Yunzhu pulled Zhou Xiaoyue along, laughing, "See for yourself, it’s him." She said, pointing at Li Yifei.
"Ah! Uncle?" Zhou Xiaoyue exclaimed, surprised as she looked at Li Yifei.
At that moment, Li Yifei’s face was adorned with a faint smile as he said, "Little Yue, we meet again so soon."
At this time, it was pointless for Li Yifei to deny anything. The time he had accompanied Chu Xiaoyao to her College Entrance Exam, Zhou Xiaoyue’s mother had also seen him. Since Zhou Xiaoyue was here, her mother was likely around as well. Now it all depended on Zhou Xiaoyue’s attitude.
"You know each other?" Ye Yunzhu’s mother asked, looking puzzled at Zhou Xiaoyue.
Zhou Xiaoyue blinked her large eyes, took another look at Li Yifei, and said, "Yes, we know each other. I have a very good friend named Chu Xiaoyao. This uncle is the one who has always taken care of Xiaoyao. I used to visit his house often recently."
Li Yifei laughed, "That’s right, Little Yue is such a good girl. She has been a big help to me in the past while."
Zhou Xiaoyue then smiled at Li Yifei and said, "I really didn’t expect it, you’ve actually become my cousin-in-law."
Li Yifei could tell that Zhou Xiaoyue’s words had an underlying meaning. In his house, Chu Xiaoyao and Zhou Xiaoyue didn’t hold back on any topic, even bragging about sharing a bed with Li Yifei. The little girl had always thought that Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao were a couple. And now, here she was, popping up to play the role of his cousin-in-law.
However, Li Yifei was slightly relieved that Zhou Xiaoyue did not directly reveal the nature of the relationship between Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao, which meant there was still plenty of room to maneuver.
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Grandfather is asking for you inside," Zhou Xiaoyue said to Ye Yunzhu’s parents at this point.
Ye Yunzhu’s parents glanced at each other and then both shook their heads. Their daughter’s choice of Li Yifei made them lose all confidence. Now they were certain to be lectured by the old master again.
Ye Yunzhu’s grandmother wasn’t her grandfather’s first wife, but a concubine, so Ye Yunzhu’s father and his siblings were not the core of the Ye family. It was only because of Ye Yunzhu’s excellence that they had managed to gain some attention in the family again. If Ye Yunzhu were neglected by the family because of Li Yifei, their status would plummet as it had before.
In Huaxia, where the country had been founded for over sixty years, polygamy was not initially forbidden. So scions of great families like Ye Yunzhu’s grandfather could take multiple wives. However, in such prominent families, there was a significant difference between the first wife and concubines. Children born from concubines were normally not the core of the family and were subject to exclusion.
Yet since the Old Master had called, they had no choice but to brace themselves and let Li Yifei in. They sighed and shook their heads.
At that moment, Ye Yunzhu walked up to Li Yifei, took his arm, and said boldly, "Let’s go, my man."
Li Yifei flashed a comforting smile at Ye Yunzhu and then followed her inside.
Zhou Xiaoyue walked beside Ye Yunzhu, occasionally stealing glances at Li Yifei, her thoughts inscrutable.
After rounding a decorative partition and passing through a small courtyard, Li Yifei and the others entered a spacious living room. The living room was devoid of comfortable sofas, instead furnished with antique rosewood furniture. A man in his seventies sat in the center with several middle-aged men sitting on either side. The women stood at the back, none seated, portraying the grandeur of an ancient affluent family.
"Dad, they’re here," Ye Yunzhu’s father entered and respectfully addressed the old man seated at the center.
The Old Master of the Ye Family nodded, turning his gaze to Li Yifei and then frowned slightly, "It seems I have seen you somewhere."
Li Yifei responded with a polite smile, "Grandpa, hello, my name is Li Yifei, I was Yunzhu’s high school classmate."
Li Yifei had indeed met the Old Master of the Ye Family before. Known as Ye Jingfeng, he had been the third ranking official in the province before his retirement, a very eminent position. During an emergency incident, Ye Jingfeng had been held hostage along with a few other high-ranking officials more important than himself, and Li Yifei had been responsible for the rescue. Li Yifei had re
Ye Yunzhu was momentarily swayed and turned to look at Li Yifei.
