Ling Zhenfei said, "You don't have to worry about that. Anyway, I just know."

Xu Yuyu replied, "Of course I remember Cao Qinglin and those two women, I was just pretending to be oblivious."

"It seems marrying into a wealthy family isn't that easy," sighed Ling Zhenfei.

Xu Yuyu said, "Don't worry, once we have our child, the whole Cao family's inheritance will be ours."

Xu Yuyu looked at Ling Zhenfei, her eyes full of tenderness.

"So handsome, I almost forgot how I snagged you back then. Now I think I owe it to my boldness."

Xu Yuyu looked at Ling Zhenfei and chuckled, clearly delighted, and there was even something else in her eyes.

"Alright, I'll be with you tonight, you can get some good rest," Ling Zhenfei said to Xu Yuyu.

But just then, Ling Zhenfei suddenly heard footsteps at the door. He quickly grabbed Xu Yuyu's hand and gestured her to be silent.

Xu Yuyu was shocked, not knowing what Ling Zhenfei meant. She quickly stopped her actions, and then there was a knock on the door.

Xu Yuyu hurriedly lay back on the bed, and Ling Zhenfei tidied his clothes. With his Divine Sense, he had already locked onto the person, and to his surprise, it was Cao Xueyi.

Ling Zhenfei quickly opened the door, seeing Cao Xueyi standing gracefully outside. She smiled at Ling Zhenfei as he opened the door, "Are you busy, Uncle Ling?"

Ling Zhenfei felt uncomfortable being called 'uncle' by a girl a few years younger than himself.

"No, I am just preparing," Ling Zhenfei said, unsure of what Cao Xueyi meant or what she wanted suddenly.

Cao Xueyi had already changed out of her sports attire, wearing a very loose top with shorts underneath, but the top covered most of the shorts, showing only a bit.

"Can I take a bit of your time?" Cao Xueyi asked.

"What do you want?" Ling Zhenfei inquired.

"I want to take a picture with you. I told them you gave me the Xuantian Immortal Water and Beauty Pill, but they don't believe it," Cao Xueyi said with a hint of frustration.

So it was about this. Cao Xueyi came looking for him in the middle of the night for such a thing, Ling Zhenfei felt exasperated. Apparently, Cao Qinglin wasn't managing his household very well.

"Of course you can," Ling Zhenfei replied.

Cao Xueyi was delighted, standing beside Ling Zhenfei and starting to take selfies with him, adopting a very intimate pose, leaving Ling Zhenfei amazed at the girl's boldness.

After taking the photos, Cao Xueyi laughed and said, "Thanks, Uncle Ling."

"No need to thank me."

Ling Zhenfei thought that after fulfilling Cao Xueyi's request, she would leave.

But Cao Xueyi walked to Xu Yuyu's door, glanced inside, and then looked at Ling Zhenfei.

"Uncle Ling, are you going to spend the night in the same room with this woman?"

Cao Xueyi never liked Xu Yuyu, so her words were not bitter at all.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's right, I am treating Miss Xu, clearing her internal toxins."

Cao Xueyi laughed, "This woman looks nice, but she's pregnant. What if the mood strikes you tonight? Sparks will fly with you two alone like this."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, truly shocked at Cao Xueyi's audacity. Did she know something?

Cao Xueyi saw Ling Zhenfei's surprise and laughed, "Haha, don't worry, I guess you have no interest in such an old woman."

Cao Xueyi said this loudly, ensuring that Xu Yuyu inside the room heard it, clearly intending for her to hear.

Xu Yuyu shouted from inside, "Ling Zhenfei, are you here to treat me or chat with the little firebrand?"

Xu Yuyu raised her voice significantly, which immediately provoked Cao Xueyi, who shouted back at her.

"Who are you calling a little firebrand? Even as a firebrand, I'm better than you, a gold-digger, Xiao San."

The tension was palpable, and it seemed like a showdown was about to erupt, something Ling Zhenfei didn't expect to witness.

Though everyone knows it's hard to be a stepmother, their verbal battle is still a rare sight.

Ling Zhenfei realized he needed to use a bit of strategy, or the two would definitely fight tonight. So he used Northern Spiritual Energy to isolate the room.

This way, the sounds on both sides couldn't be heard, and neither could hear each other's words.

"Well, there's no response now. You, a gold-digger Xiao San, can't afford to offend me, don't be shameless," Cao Xueyi thought Xu Yuyu was speechless, feeling quite pleased.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Alright, since Xu Yuyu isn't talking anymore, shouldn't you be going home? It's quite late, and you should get some rest."

Cao Xueyi smiled and said, "Okay then, I'll be generous and let it slide this time, but it's only for your sake."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Thank you so much. Tomorrow at noon, I'll personally cook for a restaurant luncheon. If Miss Cao is free, please be sure to attend."

Cao Xueyi was a bit stunned, "Really? Aren't you a doctor? How are you planning to cook?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and replied, "One can have many hobbies. Being a doctor is my hobby, and so is being a chef. But I can't call myself a doctor, just an enthusiast."

Cao Xueyi smiled brightly, "Alright, I'm looking forward to your lunch. I'll certainly be on time tomorrow."

After saying this, Cao Xueyi left happily, taking a few steps before looking back at Ling Zhenfei as if reluctant.

But only Ling Zhenfei knew that Xu Yuyu was still in the room cursing continuously. It seemed the conflict between her and Cao Xueyi wasn't a recent thing.

"Okay, you can rest now." Ling Zhenfei entered the room to tell Xu Yuyu.

Xu Yuyu said, "Did Cao Xueyi get so overwhelmed by my words that she couldn't respond? She should know how formidable I am."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, yes, she realized how formidable you are, that's why she left quietly."

Xu Yuyu laughed, clearly pleased with her victory, but as she laughed, she suddenly started crying.

Ling Zhenfei hurried to comfort Xu Yuyu, puzzled by this turn of events. Xu Yuyu burst into tears in Ling Zhenfei's arms.

It seems that even though she married into a wealthy family, Xu Yuyu wasn't living well. A big superstar turned into a housewife at someone's home, just a regular person there.
