Chapter 466 - 475: Xu Yingying is Coming
In the following days, Li Yifei stayed at home, keeping Chu Xiaoyao company. Zhou Xiaoyue also came by often, and Su Yiyi was there in the evenings, so Chu Xiaoyao didn’t feel lonely at all. Gradually, she started to overcome the grief of her parents’ passing. Although she couldn’t be as carefree as before, at least her smile wasn’t as forced anymore. However, she still couldn’t be left alone, or her mood would worsen.
These days, even though Li Yifei still shared a bed with Chu Xiaoyao, she became much more behaved. Every night she would just snuggle up in Li Yifei’s arms, only occasionally getting mischievous by touching his private parts, without making any further requests.
This gave Li Yifei a lot of relief. Otherwise, being too intimate with such a beautiful girl was always a bit too hard to handle.
Having seen Zhou Xiaoyue around quite a bit, Li Yifei became familiar with her and learned her full name. She wasn’t particularly mischievous, just lively, and quite empathetic. With her company, Chu Xiaoyao could more quickly walk out of her sadness.
Chu Xiaoyao’s company was sold to her uncle and her elder maternal uncle, but it wasn’t just the two of them who partnered up to buy it. Both extended families pitched in together. The asking price of 1.5 million was beyond what the two families could afford alone, but they were optimistic about the company’s future and found the price to be very reasonable, so everyone was happy with the deal.
Having received 1.5 million, Chu Xiaoyao gave it all to Li Yifei, who accepted the money. Now he was her guardian, even if not legally, but since Chu Xiaoyao needed his care, he had to take responsibility for her. It wasn’t good for a girl to have too much money on her hands, so managing it for her was naturally not a problem.
However, Li Yifei passed all the money to Su Yiyi. Within their small family, Su Yiyi was in charge of managing the finances. If Chu Xiaoyao needed money, she would ask Su Yiyi, and Chu Xiaoyao didn’t mind this arrangement at all.
During these days with Chu Xiaoyao, Li Yifei had received a few calls from Lin Qiong but surprisingly, no other calls came through, which astounded him.
Xu Yingying remained indifferent during the two meetings they had. Her not calling was one thing, but Xu Shanshan had always been on good terms with him, even to the point of ambiguity. Yet if Xu Yingying was resolved to leave him, it was normal for Xu Shanshan to not make contact.
But it was strange that Ye Yunzhu hadn’t called at all, and even Michelle hadn’t checked in on him once, which was abnormal.
