Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 76 Extreme Shock

”This is also easy to handle,” Ye Fei still smiled indifferently, ”Once we have any conflicts of interest with the Liu and Ye families, we can just back off. As long as we donʼt let them suffer losses, itʼs fine for us to incur a little loss.”

Although she didnʼt want to be enemies with the Liu family, Li Xue was even more unwilling to do as Ye Fei suggested. She hesitated and said, ”But in that case, we might not only fail to make money, but we could also end up losing everything.”

”Itʼs fine, just boldly go ahead and do it. My funds are limitless, no matter how much you lose, it wonʼt be enough.” Ye Fei started to feel a bit of a headache. He hadnʼt realized that starting a company would involve so much, so he simply gave Li Xue an apparently nonsensical explanation.

Li Xue was even more puzzled by what he was planning. She said somewhat defiantly, ”Then why bother starting a company at all? Just donate some money to our orphanage, instead of making me open a company thatʼs guaranteed to lose money.”

”Alright, Iʼll tell you the truth.” At this point, Ye Fei could only reveal his ultimate goal to her. ”My name is Ye Fei. The reason I want to start this company is because I want to secretly help the Liu and Ye families.”

”Ye Fei?” Li Xue felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but she couldnʼt immediately recall where she had heard it before. She looked at Ye Fei with a puzzled expression.

Ye Fei chuckled, ”You know Liu Yiru of Feiyun Group, right? Sheʼs my mother.”

”Youʼre that useless Ye Fei?” Li Xue had been interested in business since she was young, so she naturally knew a lot about Liu Yiru, the top figure in the Wanghai business world. She even admired her to some extent.

As for her son, she had heard about him. People often referred to him as useless in private.

In the shock of the moment, she blurted out this nickname. But after saying it, she was a bit stunned. He was useless? If this intelligent and strong young man was considered useless, then there might not be many useful people in the world.

Upon hearing how she addressed him, Ye Fei couldnʼt help but wryly smile. He hadnʼt expected that people outside would give him such a nickname.

Nevertheless, he didnʼt mind. After all, whether he was useless or not wasnʼt something they could decide.

Besides, he actually wanted this kind of effect now. It would be better if everyone thought he was useless. This way, it could confuse their hidden enemies even more. So he said, ”Thatʼs right, Iʼm that Ye Fei.”

”Iʼm sorry, I didnʼt mean to call you that.” Li Xue said somewhat embarrassedly, but inside, she was secretly amazed.

These children from noble families were really good at hiding things. Who could have imagined that a person known as useless would turn out to be such a bold and astute young man?

Ye Fei lightly smiled and said, ”Itʼs alright. Everyone says the same thing. Even my little sister sometimes calls me that. Iʼm used to it. Is there no problem now?”

Although Ye Feiʼs words lessened Li Xueʼs remorse, she was still a bit puzzled and asked, ”If thatʼs the case, why donʼt you just invest the money in Feiyun Group? And whatʼs the deal with this endless source of funds you mentioned?”

Ye Fei now completely trusted Li Xue, and if he didnʼt tell her the truth, she probably wouldnʼt be able to work in peace. So he decided to be open and honest, saying, ”All my money comes from stealing and robbing. I have an online alias, called ʼWeak and Helpless.ʼ Iʼm sure youʼve heard of it, right?”

”ʼWeak and Helplessʼ?” Li Xue couldnʼt help but exclaim. How could she not be familiar with this name?

Not only her, but there were probably very few people in the world who didnʼt know this name.

With wanted notices from dozens of countries, his fame was even greater than that of Deng Uncle, who crashed a plane into a building years ago. However, up until now, no one knew who this person really was.

Although she didnʼt spend much time on the internet usually, Li Xue, like most young people in the world, couldnʼt help but feel admiration and awe for someone who dared to challenge the most powerful country in the world.

Sometimes, she even fantasized about having that kind of ability herself. In that case, the orphanage would no longer have to worry about making ends meet.

However, no matter how much she fantasized, she never imagined that the person who was idolized by young people worldwide would actually appear right in front of her, and even more surprisingly, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy.

As for Ye Fei not lying, she had never thought about it because she believed that Ye Fei would never deceive her in this matter.

Seeing Li Xueʼs surprised expression, Ye Fei just smiled lightly. Before revealing his identity, he had already anticipated this kind of reaction. There was nothing to be proud of in the absurd things he had done when he was immature.

Now, looking back, he realized that he had been somewhat impulsive at the time. Otherwise, he wouldnʼt need to hide like this to help his family.

When Li Xueʼs reaction improved slightly, Ye Fei spoke, ”Now you understand why I canʼt openly help our family, right?”

Li Xue nodded gently. She naturally understood what would happen once Ye Feiʼs identity was exposed. If he openly assisted the family, it would undoubtedly raise the chances of such a revelation.

Although there was still no guarantee that nothing would go wrong, at least it was more discreet now.

As for her own safety, she didnʼt care at all. For the orphanage, she was willing to give up even her life. Moreover, the current situation essentially tied her and Ye Fei together, which made her secretly happy.

”My family doesnʼt even know about this identity of mine. Besides myself, you are the only person in the world who knows this secret. So, I hope that unless absolutely necessary, you must not reveal this matter to anyone,” Ye Fei, although understanding that Li Xue would not betray his trust, still solemnly reminded her.

”Donʼt worry, even if it costs me my life, I wonʼt disclose this matter!” Li Xue also earnestly assured him, feeling an extreme sweetness in her heart. She hadnʼt expected him to trust her so much, essentially entrusting his life and secrets to her. For a moment, she was so touched that she almost cried.

To Ye Fei, it seemed like a trivial matter. He wore his usual indifferent smile and said, ”If everything is okay, Iʼll be heading back now. Otherwise, I might really miss my afternoon classes.”

After speaking, he glanced back at Li Xue, who seemed to have no further questions, before turning and walking back to Aunt Liʼs room.
