Chapter 493: Chapter 493: There’s a Highlight Tonight (Third Update)
At this moment, Lin Fei looked at Su Zhenjiang and his wife and said, “Additionally, Mr. Su, Madam Su, I have a presumptuous request, may I invite my friends Xiao Ling and Zheng Yutong to your family banquet?”
Su Zhenjiang and his wife glanced at each other, both displaying smiles on their faces.
The couple said to Lin Fei, “Young Master Lin, of course, you can. You’re certainly welcome to invite your friends, and besides, Yutong and Xiaoyue are also good friends.”
Lin Fei said, “Thank you, Mr. Su and Madam Su. Now that the Su family matters are resolved, I will take my leave.”
Su Zhenjiang and his wife nodded, “We’ll see Young Master Lin off.”
Lin Fei quickly said, “Please, stay here. Master Su has just had the Gu Insect removed; he is still quite weak. You should take good care of him. I can see myself out.”
The Su couple didn’t expect Lin Fei to be so considerate and empathetic; they were somewhat moved and felt even more respect for Lin Fei.
“Alright then, let Xiaoyue see Young Master Lin off on our behalf,” Su Zhenjiang looked at his daughter and said to Lin Fei.
Su Xiaoyue said, “Dad, today I went to find Yutong to hang out, and happened to meet Lin Fei, who brought him to treat Grandpa’s illness.
Now, I’ll see Mr. Lin back to the Zheng family, and I can also chat with Yutong.”
Su Zhenjiang and his wife smiled, “Go ahead! Have fun, you all.”
Su Xiaoyue escorted Lin Fei, Zheng Yutong, and Xiao Ling out of the villa.
Just like before, Lin Fei and Su Xiaoyue sat in one car, Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling sat in another.
However, on the way there, Su Xiaoyue only regarded Lin Fei as a doctor, possibly one who could cure her grandfather’s illness.
But after Lin Fei taught Sotu a lesson on her behalf, helped her grandfather expel the Golden Centipede, exposed Master Qingteng and Yan Chunhua’s crimes, and finally saw Master Qingteng and Yan Chunhua taken away by the police,
Lin Fei had become different in Su Xiaoyue’s heart.
His bravery and fearlessness, outsmarting Master Qingteng in a series of confrontations, ultimately exposing their true wickedness and forcing them to meet their just desserts.
This made Su Xiaoyue see a heroic man!
A heroic man she admired and was infatuated with from the bottom of her heart.
So, now sharing a car ride with Lin Fei, her heart was inexplicably filled with delight and romance.
The feeling was quite subtle, making her full of anticipation, even causing her heart to race.
“Su Xiaoyue, why haven’t you started driving yet?” Just as Su Xiaoyue was lost in her emotions, a puzzled voice came from Lin Fei in the driver’s seat.
Su Xiaoyue suddenly realized she had been seated in the car for a while, lost in her thoughts, forgetting to start the car.
Su Xiaoyue, feeling like an embarrassed little girl, her pretty fair face turned red, quickly replied, and then started the car; perhaps in her fluster, the car shot forward abruptly.
This left Lin Fei utterly speechless, “No wonder when there’s a car accident, people always say the driver must be a woman…”
Fortunately, Su Xiaoyue soon stabilized, no longer speeding like initially.
Lin Fei then took out his phone and dialed Leng Ying’s number.
Once the call connected, Leng Ying’s voice came through, “Lin Fei, has something happened again?”
After collaborating to dismantle Old Prince’s power, Lin Fei and Leng Ying had developed a certain rapport.
Lin Fei calling Leng Ying meant something significant was happening again.
Lin Fei said, “Leng Ying, I have an address for you.”
Then Lin Fei informed Leng Ying of the Su family’s address.
Finally, he said, “Leng Ying, discreetly protect the Su family for me, and tonight will have a major event.”
“Also, keep an eye on an elderly housekeeper named Tu at the Su family.”
“Understood,” Leng Ying replied in a calm voice.
Lin Fei then hung up the phone.
Su Xiaoyue, who was driving, had overheard Lin Fei’s call and curiously asked, “Lin Fei, who is this Leng Ying to you?”
Lin Fei said, “He’s a brother I would go through life and death with.”
Although he met Leng Ying on Demon Island, and they had even fought once,
since Leng Ying followed him off Demon Island, Leng Ying had become an indispensable helper for Lin Fei.
Saying the two are life-and-death brothers is not an exaggeration.
“You asked him to protect my family?” Su Xiaoyue continued to ask.
Lin Fei nodded, “Although Master Qingteng has been taken away by the police, his act of placing a Gu Insect on your grandfather shows he is ruthless and likely will not give up easily.
So, I asked Leng Ying to protect your family in secret, just to be safe and to prevent any potential mishaps.”
After listening to Lin Fei, Su Xiaoyue’s eyes showed gratitude, and of course, admiration…
Returning to the Zheng family villa, Lin Fei went back to his room at the guest villa, resting and preparing for whatever might happen tonight.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoyue was invited by Zheng Yutong to the living room of the Zheng family villa.
Although Zheng Yutong eagerly entertained Su Xiaoyue and chatted about everything with her,
since arriving at the Zheng family villa, Lin Fei was nowhere to be seen, which caused a slight feeling of loss in Su Xiaoyue’s heart.
Thus, her interest in chatting was not high.
Zheng Yutong, unaware she wanted to see Lin Fei, saw her slight gloominess and assumed the Su family’s series of incidents had left her in low spirits.
Therefore, Zheng Yutong kept comforting Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue could only listen to Zheng Yutong’s consolations, but inside, she wondered when Lin Fei would appear?
The answer was when night fell, Lin Fei appeared, entering the living room.
After much anticipation, Su Xiaoming finally saw Lin Fei appear, and her eyes instantly brightened.
Lin Fei looked at Su Xiaoyue and Zheng Yutong, “The time is almost up, we should get going, we can’t keep Mr. Su and Madam Su waiting.”
Su Xiaoyue nodded, “Then let’s go!”
“Lin Fei, where are you going?” At this moment, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, Xiao Xiao, Wang Yixin, and Liu Wei walked in from the doorway, with Yuan Yuxi asking this question.
Lin Fei pointed at Su Xiaoyue and said to Yuan Yuxi, “I promised Su Xiaoyue’s parents to have dinner at the Su family tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t have dinner with you all.”
All four women, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Yixin, immediately turned their gaze towards Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue’s beauty made them feel vigilant.
They realized this Su Xiaoyue was likely here to compete with them for Lin Fei, just like Liu Wei.
Su Xiaoyue also sensed their different concern for Lin Fei and their intangible hostility towards her.
However, Su Xiaoyue wasn’t afraid of Yuan Yuxi and the other three.
As long as Lin Fei didn’t tell her he had a woman he loved and didn’t forbid her from getting close,
she had the right to get close to Lin Fei.
This was Su Xiaoyue’s thought.
“Lin Fei, you’ve been busy non-stop these days, already very tired; don’t attend any more dinners,” Yuan Yuxi said to Lin Fei with concern.
Lin Fei nodded, “Yes, I won’t attend any dinners after this, but tonight’s dinner, I must attend.”
