Chapter 674: Chapter 676: Xu Yingying, Furious as an Angry Bird

“You want to know?”

“Of course! Uncle, just tell me, how do you know my mom?!” Xu Yingying asked again, her pretty eyes now carrying a hint of interrogation and vigilance.

Xu Yingying’s wariness, and even that of Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairwoman, with their nervousness and panic shining through those charming phoenix eyes.

Lin Fei took all of this in and then, seemingly in earnest, responded to Xu Yingying, “You’re not young anymore, and there’s nothing wrong with telling you. As you know, your Uncle here is exceptionally handsome. It was inevitable for your mom to fall for me and then pursue me actively.”

“Uncle, you’re lying. My mom would never fall for you!”

“And what makes you so sure? Could it be that it’s not because of my incredibly handsome face that you’ve fallen for me?”

“Uncle, your skin is too thick!”

Xu Yingying covered her face with her fair little hand in an exasperated sigh, clearly speechless at Lin Fei’s continuous self-praise of his good looks.

“Yingying, go out for a while, I have some things to ask Lin Fei.”

While Xu Yingying, stifled by Lin Fei’s self-praise, didn’t know what to say, Su Qinglan, who was slightly relieved by Lin Fei’s diversionary response, spoke opportunistically, wanting to send Xu Yingying away and have a private conversation with Lin Fei.

However, this time Xu Yingying refused to heed the command.

“No way! Until you tell me how you know each other, I’m not leaving! Don’t even think about sending me away!”

“Yingying, you… this is between Lin Fei and me. I don’t need to tell you! And you, going behind my back to race cars, not to mention recklessly taking on such a huge amount of property! You’re coming home with me later! Give back all these properties! From now on, without my permission, you’re not allowed to go anywhere but school!”

“Why should I?! I won’t! These properties were transferred to me by Uncle Lü, and he agreed to me taking them. I don’t want to give them back! Besides, I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. I’ll go wherever I want. I don’t need you to control me!”

“What did you say?! Yingying, how did you become like this?! You weren’t like this before!”

Xu Yingying’s sudden defiant stance and the strong rebellious spirit in her words were clearly a great shock to Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairwoman. The woman’s beautiful phoenix eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief.

It was as if the Xu Yingying standing in front of her wasn’t the precious daughter she had raised for over ten years but a complete stranger.

“I’ve always been like this, you just never knew! You’re always working, working, working! All you care about is my education, you never care about my life! I hate studying! I hate studying! I hate it! You never understand what I like or dislike! You only make me do things I don’t want to do! I! Hate! You!”

Each word of Xu Yingying’s last four words was clearly shouted out, indicating the great accumulation of negative emotions she harbored towards Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairwoman.

This, Su Qinglan had obviously not anticipated. In her mind, Xu Yingying had always been a well-behaved, sensible girl. Now confronted with her daughter’s angry retort.

Especially the “I hate you” yelled out with each word distinctly marked, completely dumbfounded Su Qinglan.

“Yingying, you… you…”

After being shouted at by Xu Yingying, Su Qinglan, the enchanting chairwoman, subconsciously murmured a few words, and then tears instantly welled up.

For Su Qinglan, who had always regarded Xu Yingying as her entire life, being suddenly denounced by the girl as “annoying” was akin to the sky collapsing in her heart as the exquisite CEO.

The words “I hate you” from Xu Yingying cut through the woman’s heart like an exceedingly sharp blade.

Heartache, a piercing heartache!

At this moment, Su Qinglan unquestionably felt heart pain to the extreme. Had it not been for Lin Fei firmly holding onto Xu Yingying, preventing the girl from escaping the CEO’s gaze,

Su Qinglan would likely have fainted from heartache.

“Apologize to your mother, now! Immediately! Right away!” Seeing that Su Qinglan was not in the right state, Lin Fei, while holding Xu Yingying in a death grip, commanded the girl to apologize to the CEO forcibly.

“I! Don’t! Want to!”

Lin Fei’s stern command, even while holding her tightly, did not persuade Xu Yingying to relent. Instead, it triggered an even more vehement rebellion in the girl.

In the face of Xu Yingying’s angry outburst and her obviously furious and resistant nature, Lin Fei intended to suppress her forcefully. However, when Lin Fei caught sight of the stubborn defiance and hints of moisture in the girl’s charming eyes, he found himself unable to be harsh, regardless of the situation.

Just then, Su Qinglan, the alluring CEO, appropriately spoke up.

“Lin Fei, let Yingying go. It’s, it’s my fault. I’m the one who didn’t take proper care of her personal life, only focusing on work. It’s all, all my fault. It’s my fault, my fault…”

Though she spoke up, it was evident that Su Qinglan hadn’t recovered from that piercing heartache. Her words seemed less an effort to convince Lin Fei and more like an unconscious self-reproach.

After a wakeful plea for Lin Fei to let go of Xu Yingying, Su Qinglan’s words devolved into a monotonous murmur of self-examination.

Thump!

Thump!

As Su Qinglan lost herself in monologue, a knock on the door rang out. Then, Jiang Ying, who had been sent by Lin Fei to buy anti-swelling medicine for the CEO, walked into Xu Yingying’s office with the medicine in hand.

Bang!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Seizing the chance when Jiang Ying entered the office and Lin Fei was distracted, Xu Yingying broke free from Lin Fei’s hold and ran out of the office as if she were escaping.

“That girl’s emotions are a bit off now, follow her quickly and keep an eye on her, don’t let her do anything foolish.”

Seeing Xu Yingying escape, Lin Fei quickly approached Jiang Ying, taking the anti-swelling medicine from her hand and instructing her to watch over Xu Yingying…
