Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1387 - 1436: Took the Bait

Song Zude put down his teacup, stood up, and gave Su Mengxin a deep look before saying, "Farewell!"

Su Mengxin didn’t see him out, didn’t even look at Song Zude. It was only after Song Zude and his people left that Su Mengxin stood up, reached out to hold Li Yifei’s hand, and with a sweet smile said, "Husband, you worked hard. Sit down and have a cup of tea."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and sat down with peace of mind, enjoying a cup of tea before saying, "That old man fell into the trap."

"Of course, with me personally involved, how could he not fall into the trap?" Su Mengxin laughed triumphantly, sitting beside Li Yifei, comfortably leaning back on the sofa. She originally wanted to sit in Li Yifei’s lap but refrained from it to avoid making Li Yifei uncomfortable. Pausing, she added, "If it weren’t for wanting to quickly resolve these two families, I wouldn’t have come up with this idea, risking my dignity."

Li Yifei gently put his arm around Su Mengxin’s shoulder, letting her lean against him, and said, "Finishing this quickly is good; seeing you all so exhausted every day makes my heart ache."

After chatting for a while, the two prepared to leave, but Li Yifei said, "No hurry to go back. We’ve finally come out; you can browse around, treat it as a day of rest."

Su Mengxin narrowed her eyes, giggled, and lightly punched Li Yifei, saying, "Husband, you’re so smart. Today, let’s go for a walk and return home in the evening."

Just as Li Yifei said, the old fox Song Zude left, but his people were still hiding. With his suspicious nature, he wouldn’t easily believe Su Mengxin’s words, but as long as doubt was planted in his heart, he wasn’t likely to escape the bait.

Sitting in the car, Song Zude started to mumble to himself. Upon returning home, he discussed the meeting with Su Mengxin with a few family members. They immediately jumped in with opposition, but it was all unconstructive chatter, doubting Su Mengxin without any actual evidence or methods.

The usually shrewd family members appeared cowardly when facing Su Mengxin and the Li family, like startled birds, unable to provide any useful information, arguing back and forth, worsening Song Zude’s frustration.

Slamming the table, Song Zude angrily said, "Shut up! All this arguing yielded nothing. With this attitude, how can we compete with the Li family?"

His words silenced everyone. Song Zude snorted heavily and said, "Do you think I don’t understand the Li family’s ambitions, that agreeing with them means dealing with a tiger? But look at you all; in less than a week, how much have we lost? It’s easy to lose money, but how long does it take to earn it back? Even if real estate is profitable, how many buildings would it take? Haven’t you thought about it at all?"

Song Zuqing, who managed several family businesses with the worst losses, spoke with a forced smile, "Brother, calm down. Everyone is just anxious, but they understand. The Li family is pushing us to agree; right now, we face two options: keep fighting or withdraw. The uncertain result of fighting looks grim, as our combined resources are being pushed back step by step by the Li family. However, if we just watch the Li family destroy the Sun family, won’t they come after us next?"

Reflecting on it, Song Zude said, "Su Mengxin said... she didn’t promise anything, only that not targeting the Song family was already the greatest mercy..."

A chill ran through his heart as Song Zude realized that during the entire meeting, he was led by Su Mengxin, almost pressured at every turn.

Song Zuqing’s son sneered, "Su Mengxin is so arrogant!"

"Do you have a solution? She’s arrogant, so go deal with her!" another Song family member said with a sneer.

Seeing another argument about to start, Song Zude slammed the table again, shouting, "Anyone who continues arguing will be thrown out of the Song family! Is it time for quarreling during such a crucial matter? Su Mengxin is arrogant, but isn’t her confidence given by all of you? Not having a capable person around makes those women so presumptuous."

The younger Song family members hung their heads in embarrassed silence, feeling ashamed that they couldn’t compete with a few women.

While the Song family analyzed Su Mengxin, she went shopping with Li Yifei, something she hadn’t done in a while. Ever since losing her son, she hadn’t felt like shopping, but with Li Yifei accompanying her this time, Su Mengxin started to enjoy it.

With a house full of women, Su Mengxin didn’t want to miss anyone, carefully selecting ten or more gifts. Li Yifei noticed thoughtfully that Su Mengxin even picked a set of silver jewelry for Na Yi, small as it was, it showed her sentiment.

Trailing behind, Li Yifei continued in his role as a bodyguard, albeit a bit too attentively, becoming a personal escort. Su Mengxin tried on clothes for him to see and occasionally hooked her arm around Li Yifei’s.

Li Yifei raised his eyebrows, and Su Mengxin took the cue to approach him, stood on tiptoe, and planted a kiss on Li Yifei’s lips.

A few people were sneaking behind the two, occasionally taking pictures with their cell phones, and sending them one by one to Song Zude. The Song Family members were delighted to see these photos.

When the Song Family saw the two people so close in the photos, they burst into laughter: "Haha, I said she was a slut, and sure enough, she’s having an affair with another man. Haha, Li Yifei, I made you arrogant, but your woman is still cheating on you."

Song Zude was also very pleased. With these photos, he finally had some confidence. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

If Li Yifei knew his woman was with another man, cheating on him, who knows if Li Yifei would commit murder. That would completely break relations with the Su Family. At that time... what would the Li Family have to rely on?

These photos put Song Zude in a good mood and made some things clear. At worst, just agree with the Li Family, disregard the Sun Family. Anyways, enough losses have already been suffered. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could completely threaten Su Mengxin to ensure she wouldn’t attack the Song Family.

This cowardly mentality made the Song Family start to deceive themselves, instructing their men to take more intimate photos of the two. Song Zude began issuing orders one after another but didn’t immediately withdraw investment and watch from the sidelines, not wanting to break ties with the Sun Family.

When the subordinates captured a photo of Su Mengxin standing on tiptoe with both hands around Li Yifei’s waist, raising her face to kiss him, the Song Family was even more excited, thinking it was enough. If this news got out, given Li Yifei’s temperament, it might explode instantly. This photo in the Song Family’s hands was like holding a time bomb, ready to detonate at any moment.

Li Yifei and Su Mengxin, who were shopping, had long been aware of the sneaky people but were deliberately ignoring them. How could the two not have anticipated this, but they simply didn’t care?

After buying enough things, they returned to the car. Li Yifei drove while Su Mengxin sat in the front passenger seat. After a busy afternoon, Su Mengxin was a bit tired, initially leaning back in her seat, side-facing while squinting her eyes at Li Yifei, occasionally teasing him. As she watched, Su Mengxin felt sleepy and soon fell asleep. Li Yifei took his jacket and covered Su Mengxin, slowing down the car.

Back home, as soon as the car stopped, Su Mengxin opened her eyes. Looking at Li Yifei right in front of her, she smiled broadly, opened her arms for a hug, and Li Yifei unbuckled his seatbelt and gave Su Mengxin a big hug.

Letting go of Li Yifei, Su Mengxin said with emotion, "Hmm... this feeling is so good, with my husband by my side, having a comfortable nap and feeling full of strength."

Li Yifei smiled, rubbed Su Mengxin’s small face, and said pamperingly, "When all things are done, we’ll be together every day."

Su Mengxin nodded continuously, making uh-huh sounds, entirely losing her strong woman demeanor and instead resembling a little girl.

The two carried the bags back home, and Su Mengxin distributed everyone’s things, then handed Na Yi’s gift to Li Yifei, asking him to deliver it. Li Yifei took it, nodded, and said, "I’ll go first, talk later."

Li Yifei arrived at Na Yi’s place. Surprisingly, Na Yi was sitting cross-legged in the living room, palms inward, eyes closed. Li Yifei blinked in surprise; this was clearly a cultivation posture. Since when did Na Yi start cultivating?

Hearing the sound, Na Yi opened her eyes and saw it was Li Yifei. Her eyes immediately filled with joy, and she pushed herself up, running towards Li Yifei.

Li Yifei asked, "Are you... cultivating?"

"It’s what grandma taught me, saying it might help you, so I learned." Na Yi’s Chinese language had improved greatly, not only due to a high talent for languages, but she had indeed worked hard in these days.

Li Yifei listened happily, widened his eyes, examining Na Yi up and down, grabbed her hand, and transmitted a wave of True Qi to check her body, yet found no trace of any Qi. Releasing the True Qi, Li Yifei patted his head; although Na Yi could also cultivate, it was only a few days, how could she so quickly achieve mastery?

Understanding this, Li Yifei happily said, "Didn’t expect Elder Yao to accept you as a disciple. Haha, congratulations, Na Yi, Elder Yao is a legendary master!"

Na Yi seriously said, "It’s not that, grandma doesn’t accept disciples. She taught me this simply thinking it might help you, saying that once I’m done cultivating, we could... could dual cultivate..." Saying this, Na Yi lowered her head, evidently aware of the meaning of ’dual cultivation,’ her fair cheeks visibly reddened, soon followed by her earlobes turning red as well.

Li Yifei didn’t know how to respond; the Whole-hearted Worm in him would not allow anything to happen with Na Yi. He could only maintain current contact, but it was unfair to Na Yi, so Li Yifei thought for a moment, then gave Na Yi a hug, holding her close, and said softly in her ear, "Na Yi, don’t push yourself too hard. I still hope you remain the joyful Na Yi."
