Chapter 153 - Wine Bath (1)
Su Xiaofei smiled. For other people, they might think that she was already angry with Ye Mingyu's constant interference with her life and her patience had finally snapped tonight. However, Lu Qingfeng knew that it wasn't an angry smile.
This was a smile Su Xiaofei sported whenever she was genuinely happy about something. Yes. She was happy, and her expression told Lu Qingfeng that she couldn't be bothered to get angry at Ye Mingyu right now.
Su Xiaofei spotted him as he emerged from the crowd. He gave her a questioning look, but she only smiled, reassuring him that it wasn't something she couldn't deal with. And so, Lu? Qingfeng nodded in understanding. He quietly stood at the side, waiting for her to deal with this matter with Ye Mingyu.
Whatever she did tonight, it wouldn't make her less lovable in his eyes. His woman wasn't a weakling who would easily bend to someone else's will. It was enough that they trusted and understood each other.
However, if she needed his help, obviously he would offer his hand to her. He would become her pillar of strength, the one who would support her through her difficult times regardless of which lifetime they were living in.
Su Xiaofei gave the young woman in front of her a good look. She finally understood why Mo Yuchen fell for this woman. This pitiful act could easily awaken a strong sense of protectiveness in men.
Perhaps this was one of the biggest differences between her and Ye Mingyu. Su Xiaofei didn't need to rely on a man to protect herself.
In her heart, she even wondered what this young man had seen in her. She couldn't understand how he was able to like someone like her and remain by her side even after witnessing her bad side.
Lu Qingfeng was obviously a smart man. There were so many girls who were better than her, but why did he stick with her? Everyone found her despicable, so how come he was willing to love her and stay with her after all the things she had done?
Seeing Su Xiaofei smile, Ye Mingyu was frightened. She was scared by her stare. She realized that she had no idea what Su Xiaofei was doing or planning at this moment.
"Xiaofei..." She called once again, but only Su Xiaofei remained silent, making the atmosphere awkward between them.
However, for Su Xiaofei, she understood her 'beloved' Da Jie's personality after living two lifetimes. Because Su Xiaofei was clear on what to like and what to dislike, the gray part was very thin for consideration.
When she liked someone, she was very vocal about it, but when she disliked a person, she would trample them without thinking twice. This easily earned her the title 'The Villainess' in her previous life.
Because everytime Ye Mingyu provoked her, which was literally every chance she could get, Su Xiaofei wasn't willing to let her off the hook and would immediately snap at her. With this, Ye Mingyu was able to further destroy Su Xiaofei's image every time they met.
Su Xiaofei raised a hand and called a passing waiter, stopping him. She then took a glass and swirled the wine gently before raising the rim of the glass near her nose and curled a satisfied smile.
After that, she took a small sip from her wine glass, her movements were perfectly elegant. She made sure that Ye Mingyu was watching her every move, allowing her to see that she couldn't be bothered to play the role of the foolish villainess.
Ye Mingyu could only stare at her, then her eyes swept over Su Xiaofei's pair of elegant, smooth and slender hands. They were too beautiful, as if Su Xiaofei had never done any hard work in her life.
In Ye Mingyu's previous life, Su Xiaofei was a B-rated actress. Every time she saw this young woman on television, she couldn't help but think she was stunningly beautiful. Aside from Su Xiaofei's face, she also had a pair of slender hands.
Whenever she glanced at Su Xiaofei's hands, whether on television or any of her product advertisements, Ye Mingyu would then look at her rough and slightly calloused hands. She would then think how hard and unfair her life was compared to Su Xiaofei who was living lavishly.
When she found out that she was the eldest miss of the Su family, Ye Mingyu was deeply disappointed. She felt that her life was extremely unfair. Just look at the difference between her and Su Xiaofei. Their status and appearance were worlds apart.
Unlike Su Xiaofei's slender and soft hands, Ye Mingyu's were short and thick, with brittle fingernails. Hence she would always trim them short. There was also a thin layer of calluses on her hands as she spent years doing household chores and part-time jobs to support herself and her mother.
Even now, after she was reborned, Ye Mingyu hated that she couldn't completely shed the poor young miss persona she had from her previous life. No matter how much money she spent on hand creams, that layer of callus remained on her fingertips, as if taunting her, telling her that she could never be as beautiful as Su Xiaofei.
There were even times at night when she thought that if there wasn't a Su Xiaofei, to whom she would be compared with, she would have everything. Ye Mingyu wasn't willing to live as Su Xiaofei's shadow.
Su Xiaofei's existence was the biggest obstacle in her life. She clearly had so much, but she wasn't willing to share any of it with her. Clearly, she was the eldest miss of the Su family, yet she was the one being neglected.
Su Xiaofei was obviously arrogant and vicious woman. So what if she wanted to rip her to pieces? Let everyone see how vicious this little sister of hers was and sooner or later, Su Xiaofei would find herself utterly defeated by her and she would be isolated by everyone!
