Chapter 608 - 627: Husband
By an oval-shaped table, eight people had already sat down. Xu Shanshan and Su Mengxin were seated on either side of Li Yifei, while Cao Bin faced Li Yifei on the other side. The remaining four, comprising three men and one woman, included two middle-aged men, in their mid-forties, who were acquainted with Cao Bin—one named Song Tianwei and the other Wang Shiying. Both of them were in business, each owning assets worth ten to eighteen million yuan. Although such wealth didn’t make them stand out on the cruise, they were still quite respectable.
Of the remaining two, the man was someone Li Yifei had met before, named Sunx Dongran. When Su Mengxin visited Mile City for the first time, Li Yifei attended a reception with Xu Yingying, and that was when Sunx Dongran, an overbearing suitor, had set his sights on Xu Yingying. Li Yifei hadn’t seen him since that occasion and was surprised to run into him here today.
It wasn’t that Sunx Dongran had given up pursuing Xu Yingying after learning she had a boyfriend; rather, he had been away from Mile City, sent by his father to conduct business elsewhere. In reality, Sunx Dongran wasn’t the one handling the business; he was merely gaining experience. Yet, he returned acting high and mighty, as if he had closed a major deal himself.
The moment Sunx Dongran saw Xu Yingying masquerading as Xu Shanshan, his eyes lit up. However, seeing Xu Shanshan clinging affectionately to Li Yifei’s arm and acting as if she didn’t recognize him, rage instantly surged within him.
Sunx Dongran had also met Su Mengxin before, but at that time, she was enveloped in an aura of glory. With his status, he couldn’t get close to her. Su Mengxin, now dressed down, was still breathtakingly beautiful. However, unless one was very familiar with her, it would be hard to connect her to the "Number One Beauty of Huaxia."
Those who came here to play cards included not only avid gamblers but also others who used the game to socialize. Even though Cao Bin intended to target Li Yifei, he still said with a smile, "President Song runs a well-known logistics company in Mile City, and President Wang owns a taxi company with dozens of vehicles. They are both influential businessmen. Young Master Sunx is from Mile City’s renowned Tianli Group, and is now its vice-president, a business elite. This lady is Xu Yingying, general manager of Dreamfly Company, and the one playing with us is her husband, Li Yifei."
Song Tianwei and Wang Shiying both nodded to Li Yifei, but Sunx Dongran’s eyes bulged as he blurted out, "Xu Yingying, you got married?"
Xu Shanshan, who had no idea who Sunx Dongran was, could tell from his tone that he knew her sister and was clearly up to no good. Mimicking her sister’s demeanor, she said lightly with a smile, "Yes, this is my husband, Li Yifei."
