Chapter 818 - 858: Li Family
Every time they arrived home, nobody paid any attention to Li Yifei, not until they had settled Xu Yingying in her room upstairs. It was only then that everyone gathered in the living room.
Seeing that everyone was still happily chatting with Su Mengxin, and no one was paying attention to him, Li Yifei couldn’t help but clear his throat, hoping to draw some attention. But it had no effect.
Facing this situation, Li Yifei realized that if he didn’t properly admit his mistakes, no one would let him off easily. He stood up and said loudly, "I was wrong!"
This shout actually worked; everyone turned to look at him.
Li Yifei ruefully rubbed his nose and sincerely said, "I know you all blame me for leaving without a word. I’m not trying to justify myself, but I can say this: if any one of you were in that situation, I would have done the same."
Ye Yunzhu snorted and said, "You were feeling bad at the time, and we were also anxious for Yingying. We could understand that you separated from us then, but what made us the angriest was that you turned off your phone and completely disappeared. Do you know how worried we were about you?"
Xu Shanshan said angrily, "You just took my sister away like that, do you know how many calls my parents have made during this time, asking you and my sister to come back, to pick up the phone? How was I supposed to explain?"
Ning Xin’er was also furious, "You at least took your wife away, but what about the child? Don’t you have any sense of being a father, any sense of responsibility?"
Chu Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, pointing at Li Yifei and yelling, "You said that when I come back for the holidays this time you would take responsibility for me. I came back joyfully, but you were nowhere to be found. Are you even a man anymore?"
Initially, Ye Yunzhu, Xu Shanshan, and Ning Xin’er were quite forceful in their reproaches against Li Yifei, but Chu Xiaoyao’s comment completely defused the intensity.
