Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 149 - Grow Up A Little More (1)

As Su Xiaofei left, Ye Mingyu could only endure the humiliation that Su Xiaofei brought unto her. As much as she wanted to flee, she couldn't leave without offending Feng Yumeng more. After much discomposure, Ye Mingyu who had always maintained a calm mask finally cracked. She repeatedly cursed Su Xiaofei in her heart and wanted nothing but ripped the young woman apart.

While Ye Mingyu was suffering under the pressure of the other young misses, Su Xiaofei was humming amusedly as she walked around the banquet hall, trying to find where Lu Qingfeng was.

When Xi Qian's friend came to talk to her, Lu Qingfeng had excused himself to receive an important phone call. It had been at least twenty minutes since he left, but he didn't return.

Su Xiaofei found him in one of the vacant rooms near the banquet hall, which were prepared by the hotel staff for attendees who wanted to take a rest from socializing. It seemed like Lu Qingfeng was still on a phone call.

Standing in the dimly lit room, half of his handsome face was hidden. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, which slightly took Su Xiaofei by surprise.

However, as soon as he heard footsteps and saw Su Xioafei coming his way, he immediately bid goodbye to the person on the other end of the line. It reminded her of the twenty-five-year-old Lu Qingfeng, who had managed to find her on her deathbed.

His handsome face that looked as if it was meticulously perfected by the deities above looked distressed. His eyebrows furrowed together, as he exuded a cold and distant aura that would effectively repel other people from approaching him.

Su Xiaofei wondered if something was bothering him. He had this distant look in his eyes, which could make one think that he was yearning for someone.

In her previous life, unless there was something important at the Lu Corporation that needed his immediate attention, during his training and succession years, this young man would make time to spend with her.

Furthermore, a month before her wedding with Mo Yuchen, Lu Qingfeng would get involved in an assassination attempt on his life and would fall into a coma which would last for three years. It was for this reason that after her first year of marriage with Mo Yuchen, her life turned worse as she had no one to help and protect her, leaving Su Xiaofei desperate and helpless.

Lu Qingfeng would turn sixteen soon, and in five years he might be facing the same situation again.

'Is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?' Su Xiaofei asked herself. She certainly didn't want him to suffer any misfortune.

A normal person would make a move and wait to see what would happen, but for smart people. They would make a move and predict several possibilities ahead of its outcome. She had to slowly scheme and set traps for her to utilize in the future.

"Sorry, that was an overseas phone call. Grandpa assigned me to an international project and I have to oversee it remotely."

His voice was cool and low, but it sounded as refreshing as spring water for Su Xiaofei. As Lu Qingfeng got older, it seemed that he was truly becoming a man that could charm many women in the future. Soon, she might even need to compete to get his attention, but she was worrying about nothing, for she was the only woman Lu Qingfeng had set eyes on the moment they met for the first time.

Su Xiaofei smiled and took a seat on one of the black leather couches next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window that allowed the guest to see a magnificent view of Qiying City at night.

"No need to explain. I understand how busy you can be." She chuckled.

Because Lu Corporation was such an outstanding and huge company with many subsidiaries, it was important for Chairman Lu to train Lu Qingfeng from a very young age. This only meant that Su Xiaofei should get used to seeing the young man less these days.

"What brings you here?" She heard Lu Qingfeng asked, taking a seat at the opposite end of the couch she was seated on.

"Just trying to find some peace. The frogs are unusually noisy tonight." She replied.

Seeing Ye Mingyu doing things exactly like she did in her previous life, she was determined to ensure that the one who would be stabbed deeply by Ye Mingyu were the people closest to the young woman. From what she had experienced before her death, Su Xiaofei learned that she needed to get stronger, because weak people could easily be trampled and stepped on like a bug.

Lu Qingfeng said no more as they enjoyed the companionable silence between them, allowing their minds to wander off, each with their own thoughts.

Su Xiaofei looked at the casual attitude that the young, handsome youth next to her was wearing. Lu Qingfeng, this young man, was actually a little strange and different from the Lu Qingfeng she remembered from her past life.

She thought that this young man was a little shrewd and mysterious. He was still cold and indifferent with others, but towards her, he was a little attentive.

Also, Lu Qingfeng used to share his deepest thoughts with her, but ever since her rebirth, the young man had also somewhat changed. She sometimes thought that she was looking at a different person. Unlike other young men his age, Lu Qingfeng was confident and fearless.

It was different from Mo Yuchen's arrogance and Yun Xiang's cautiousness towards other people. As such, Su Xiaofei couldn't help but differentiate superiority and inferiority.

"Looking at me like this, Su Xiaofei, are you going to confess to me now?" Lu Qingfeng teased her, when he found her staring at him as if she was checking him out.

"Little boy, grow up a little more. I might actually consider you.." Su Xiaofei laughed before looking away, but because of this, she failed to see the sudden change in his eyes.
