Chapter 847 - 888 Heart-to-Heart
Celebrating the New Year requires paying visits to relatives. Last year, the five members of the family all went together, but this year, with Little Yifei, the Xu Zhenguo Couple ultimately decided not to go. Although they regarded Little Yifei as their own granddaughter, others might not see her the same way, especially those relatives. Seeing Little Yifei might prompt them to say some unpleasant things, and if she overheard anything hurtful, it would harm the child.
Even if those words were said to them, they wouldn’t feel comfortable either. So, this year’s visit to the relatives’ homes was left to Li Yifei, who took Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan with him.
Li Yifei was in charge of driving, with Xu Shanshan and Xu Yingying sitting in the back. Xu Shanshan leaned on the back of the front seat, tilting her head to ask Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, are you unhappy about not bringing Yifei along?"
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I’m not unhappy. I just feel that this matter has caused trouble for Mom and Dad and might lead to criticism from others. I feel I have let them down."
Xu Shanshan chuckled lightly and said, "Didn’t you see how happy Mom and Dad were to see Little Yifei? You really don’t need to worry about it."
Li Yifei sighed and said, "I understand that Mom and Dad genuinely like Yifei, but I always feel like I owe them, and for your sister, it’s also an embarrassing situation."
Xu Shanshan turned her head to look at her sister and said, "Hey, big sis, are you embarrassed?"
The direct question made Xu Yingying roll her eyes. Honestly, something like visiting relatives with Yifei would indeed be embarrassing for her. However, she had come to like Little Yifei quite a bit now, and said, "I have to admit, I do feel a bit embarrassed, but I think I’ll get over it in time."
This honest admission didn’t contradict how Xu Yingying felt, and Li Yifei understood her, saying, "Yingying, I’m really sorry for making you suffer like this."
Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a side-eyed look and said, "Unless I divorce you, I have no choice but to bear it, right?"
