CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 889: GATHERING OF LADIES AT HUATING VILLA (PART 2)

The names Su Qinglan and Gu Lanzi are indeed quite effective in intimidating Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao.

After Lin Fei mentioned Su Qinglan and Gu Lanzi as a threat, both Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao wisely quieted down.

"Not arguing anymore?"

In response to Lin Fei’s question, both Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao nodded wisely, indicating that they wouldn’t argue anymore.

After getting their nod of confirmation, Lin Fei was too lazy to further persuade the two girls and simply walked towards the inside of Huating Villa.

At the same time, Lin Fei didn’t forget to call out to Jiang Ying, the actual manager of Huating Villa, "I’m short on time, please arrange a welcome dinner for Yingying as soon as possible."

Even before Jiang Ying could retort to Lin Fei’s orders as if she were a server, Xu Yingying was the one who expressed her dissatisfaction and scolded first.

"Uncle, what do you mean? What’s with ’you’re short on time’? It’s not easy for me to return alive—ugh, ugh, I mean to return from traveling. No matter what, you should spend a few more days with me."

"Yeah, uncle. Although I don’t really care much for Yingying, this time she has indeed returned from abroad. Reasonably, you should spend a little more time with her. Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you. We could find somewhere else to stay."

"Xu Jiao, I think you’re asking for it, aren’t you?!" Evidently, Xu Yingying couldn’t care less about Lin Fei’s previous caution involving Su Qinglan.

If it hadn’t been for Lin Fei’s quick reflexes to stop Xu Yingying, given her personality, even if she wouldn’t immediately start on Xu Jiao, she’d certainly be spitting words at her.

"Alright, if you two really want to argue, I’ll hold Jiang Ying back for you. You can find a quiet place to argue all you want. I promise no one will interrupt you."

"Uncle, do you think I’m stupid? I don’t want that. As soon as we leave, you’ll definitely take the chance to flee. Uncle, I’m telling you, forget about that idea early. No matter what, I’m not letting you leave today!"

As soon as these words fell, Xu Yingying clung tightly to Lin Fei’s left arm, clearly determined not to let him leave.

Xu Jiao, awakened by Xu Yingying’s words, seemed to abandon any intention to argue with her.

Fearing Lin Fei might take the opportunity to escape, Xu Jiao, like Xu Yingying, clung tightly to Lin Fei’s arm.

Moreover, Xu Jiao pleaded with Lin Fei in a seemingly pitiable manner, "Uncle, please don’t go. You know my mom is very strict with me. It’s very hard for me to come out. Please stay today."

"Girls, if this were before, with both of you asking, I would definitely stay. But now things are different. I have someone at home waiting for me to take care of; I can’t stay here tonight."

"Uncle, could it be that your wife is sick? What’s the illness? Is it serious?"

"Xu Yingying, are you silly? If Uncle’s wife were sick, would he still come here to welcome you back?"

Hearing Xu Jiao chastise Xu Yingying, Lin Fei’s expression relaxed a bit, intending to praise Xu Jiao a little. But before he could express his praise...

With Xu Jiao’s following series of questions, Lin Fei’s expression froze again.

"Uncle, your wife’s pregnant, right? When did it happen? How many months along? Boy or girl? It’s your baby, right?"

"Girls, some things can’t be said carelessly."

Having finally gathered his wits, Lin Fei gently stroked Xu Jiao’s smooth and jade-like forehead.

Just as Lin Fei finished speaking and was about to flick Xu Jiao’s forehead a few times to ease his own frustration...

His phone rang.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

After a brief hesitation, he flicked Xu Jiao’s forehead three times, then pulled out his phone.

Seeing it was a call from Meng Xue’er, Lin Fei answered smoothly, "Xue’er, what’s up? Is something the matter?"

"Lin, Lin, big brother, it’s, it’s like this. Didn’t you, you promise, promise me. We could, could let Xiaolei and Wenwen, live with me and Ning sister? Today, today Xiaolei and Wenwen, have, have moved in with us."

"That’s great. With the four of you living together, although a bit cramped, you can look out for each other. After all, Ning Qi travels frequently, and leaving you alone at home isn’t very safe. Now that Xiaolei and Wenwen have moved in, I feel relieved."

Casually comforting Meng Xue’er, Lin Fei noticed Xu Yingying from the corner of his eye and remembered the welcome gathering he promised her.

Lin Fei, addressing Meng Xue’er again, asked, "Xue’er, is there anything else? If not, I’ll just—"

"Yes, yes, Lin big brother, there is. There is." Detecting Lin Fei’s intent to hang up, Meng Xue’er quickly interjected, "Lin, Lin big brother, it’s, it’s like this. Xiaolei and Wenwen want to treat you to dinner, to thank you. I wonder if, if you have time?"

"Dinner, huh? Xue’er, well, today is actually a bit inconvenient because today I need to—" Mid-sentence, recalling Xu Yingying and Meng Xue’er know each other, Lin Fei paused.

Lin Fei decided to ask Xu Yingying softly, "Girl, do you remember those sisters who sang with you last time? If you don’t mind, I’d like to invite them over to celebrate your return together."

"Oh, Sister Xue’er and Sister Ning, right?"

"Yes, them."

After confirming with Lin Fei, Xu Yingying, after a slight hesitation, nodded generously, "Sure, I haven’t seen them for a while. Uncle, let Ning sister and Xue’er sister come over. Oh well, just give me the phone, I’ll talk to them."

As these words dropped, Xu Yingying released Lin Fei’s arm and took the phone from his hand.

After a brief exchange and Xu Yingying’s enthusiastic invitation, Meng Xue’er and the others unanimously agreed to accept Xu Yingying’s invitation.

"Sister Xue’er, send me your address, and I’ll send a car to pick you up."

After confirming Meng Xue’er and the others would come over to celebrate her return, Xu Yingying, who owned the entire Huating Villa, generously decided to send a special car to fetch Meng Xue’er and the others...
