CHAPTER 888: CHAPTER 890: GATHERING OF LADIES AT HUATING VILLA (PART 3)

"Uncle, be honest, what made you think of buying a house for Ning Jie and Xue’er Jie? Are you trying to win their hearts?"

After hanging up the phone and asking Jiang Ying to arrange for someone to pick up Meng Xue’er and Ning Qi along with the others, Xu Yingying managed to extract information from Meng Xue’er about Lin Fei buying a house for Ning Qi and Meng Xue’er. With arms akimbo, she clearly wasn’t happy, staring at Lin Fei with a ’calling him to account’ look.

There was a sense that if Lin Fei didn’t confess, she might resort to severe measures.

Xu Jiao, the half-grown girl, was also staring at Lin Fei. Although she didn’t pose as confrontational as Xu Yingying, her pretty eyes were fixed on Lin Fei without blinking.

Determined not to miss any possible facial expressions from Lin Fei.

"You’ve really guessed it right, I do intend to get closer to them both."

As soon as Lin Fei spoke, Xu Yingying, already somewhat displeased, immediately became like a tigress about to strike, flailing her arms wildly, and directly jumped on Lin Fei.

"Uncle, you are so annoying, how can you be like this!"

"Exactly, Uncle. Ning Jie aside, how could you bring yourself to act on Xue’er Jie who is so innocent? Besides, why would you overlook such a lively, irresistible young girl like me to pursue Ning Jie and Xue’er Jie? Uncle, is something wrong with your vision?!"

On matters of love, Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao, both harboring similar fondness towards Lin Fei, almost spoke in unison in their ’assault’ on him.

Xu Yingying, being a bit more fiery, even started using physical force against Lin Fei.

If Lin Fei wasn’t accustomed to Xu Yingying’s ’tactics’ and hadn’t covered her mouth in time, there’s no telling what body part of his Xu Yingying might have sunk her teeth into.

Though Xu Jiao didn’t resort to force like Xu Yingying.

The girl, however, used her verbal skills to the fullest, reproaching Lin Fei from multiple angles.

"Uncle, I advise you to abandon your idea of targeting Ning Jie and Xue’er Jie right away. Otherwise, I’ll call my mom now to help me find your wife’s contact. Then I’ll report to her, saying you’re planning to cheat!"

Come on, it was just a joke, why take it seriously!

From what was meant as a casual joke to the two girls, Lin Fei ended up facing the united attack from Xu Jiao and Xu Yingying, feeling both mentally and physically exhausted.

"Listen up, you two. I’m buying houses for Ning Qi and Meng Xue’er indeed to get closer to them. But it’s not what you’re thinking. The reason I thought of buying the houses, besides wanting to alleviate some of their life stresses, is mainly to use the houses to tie them permanently to our Mu Group. In short, I want them to become my confidants at Mu Group, got it?!"

Hearing Lin Fei’s explanation, Xu Jiao, who had been striving to use her verbal skills to reproach Lin Fei, appeared dumbfounded, staring at Lin Fei blankly for a good while.

Then, after coming around, she briskly approached Lin Fei, stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch Lin Fei’s forehead, saying, "Uncle, are you having a fever, are you muddled?"

The initial unease on Lin Fei’s face due to Xu Jiao’s relentless reproach worsened by her seemingly concerned yet doubtful suspicions about his previous words and even his intelligence.

Lin Fei’s face turned pale with anger, he looked very displeased.

"Girl, clarify your words, what do you mean?!"

"Uncle, don’t get me wrong, I’m genuinely worried about you," Xu Jiao replied casually. Then, seemingly worried, she leaned close to Lin Fei and whispered, "Uncle, tell me honestly, you’re not planning a coup, are you?"

After asking, Xu Jiao didn’t allow Lin Fei a chance to deny it, instead confirmed her own suspicion, earnestly advising Lin Fei, "Uncle, don’t do anything foolish. I’ve heard from my mom that the female boss at your company with the surname Mu is quite formidable. If she finds out you’re secretly buying off employees to attempt a coup, you’ll end up very badly!"

"Exactly, Uncle. My mom also said the person she admires most is that Mu sister from your company," Xu Yingying, having freed herself from Lin Fei’s control, echoed Lin Fei with advice, saying, "Uncle, if you’re short on money or want to be a boss, just let me know. At worst, I’ll give you Huating Villa. And if that doesn’t work, I could ask my mom to get you a vice-president position. Whatever you do, don’t go behind the Mu sister’s back and pull tricks. If she catches you, you’ll be finished, Uncle!"

Listening to Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao’s earnest yet overly imaginative advice, Lin Fei was taken aback, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In the end, they’re just kids at heart!

While thinking this, even with Lin Fei’s unusually high emotional intelligence, he didn’t know how to explain things to Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao.

After all, the talk of using houses to bind Ning Qi and Xu Jiao preventing them from leaving the company was just Lin Fei rambling.

As for secretly pulling tricks behind Mu Shanshan for a coup, that was obviously nonsense.

We’re family, to put it bluntly, even Mu Shanshan belongs to Lin Fei, so there’s no talk of a coup.

On the day Lin Fei truly has ambition for a coup, Mu Shanshan might just happily hand over everything saying she’s stepping down herself.

But such a matter, Lin Fei evidently couldn’t explain clearly to Xu Jiao and Xu Yingying in just a couple of sentences.

Of course, the main point is even if Lin Fei speaks the truth, whether Xu Jiao and Xu Yingying would believe Mu Shanshan is Lin Fei’s wife is still questionable.

Just as Lin Fei was having trouble.

The convoy sent by Xu Yingying earlier to pick up Meng Xue’er and others had returned.

Seeing Meng Xue’er and Ning Qi getting out of the car one after another, Lin Fei took the opportunity to tell Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao, "Alright, I’ll explain this matter to you later when there’s time. Xue’er and the others are here, let’s go greet them first."

With that said, Lin Fei didn’t bother about Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao’s reaction, and walked directly towards Meng Xue’er and Ning Qi.

And after Lin Fei stepped forward.

Unwilling to fall behind, Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao looked at each other and temporarily suppressed their worries about Lin Fei possibly wanting a ’coup.’

Then, Xu Jiao and Xu Yingying briskly followed Lin Fei, joining him in welcoming Ning Qi and Meng Xue’er...
