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

Chapter 175 - A Thorn In Her Eyes (1)

Su Xiaofei was in a good mood the following day, knowing that Ye Mingyu would leave her alone and won't cause any trouble for her in the meantime. A little break from that woman's annoying face would be good for her sanity, as she wanted to return to the same café Lu Qingfeng had brought them yesterday to try the other desserts on their menu.

The game between Lu Qingfeng and Cai Lin was still the talk of the academy, and many students were now gossiping behind Cai Lin and how he was involved with several women before meeting Ye Mingyu and breaking his engagement with Feng Xue'er.

From the corner of her eyes, Su Xiaofei could see Feng Xue'er seated with her head down, trying hard to ignore the talks about her former fiancé and Ye Mingyu. It was obvious that she was still affected by Cai Lin's betrayal, but she should have known that her one-sided love could only hurt her, Su Xiaofei thought.

When Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian met Cai Lin in the hallway that afternoon, the young man just stared at Su Xiaofei and looked away. He then left without a word, as if he didn't want to be spotted near Su Xiaofei.

Xi Qian looked at Cai Lin's retreating figure and laughed.

"My, my, Cai Lin is now running away with his tail between his legs from you. Lu Qingfeng must have affected Cai Lin really badly for him to act this way."

Su Xiaofei only glanced at Cai Lin and shook her head.

"It's a waste of time to talk to him. If he really had a good head over his shoulder, he would have realized the consequence of offending Feng Xue'er's family." She said with a charming but vile smile.

"What do you mean, Feifei?" Xi Qian hooked her arm with Su Xiaofei's as they resumed their walk back to their classroom.

"The supposed union between Cai Lin and Feng Xue'er are advantageous for their families. The Feng family has been in the government for generations, while the Cai family is one of the richest families in Qiying City. By forming a marriage alliance, the Feng family is set to gain a lot of resources in exchange for strong backing and influence for the Cai family. The backing will help strengthen the Cai family's standing against their competitors in the business sector." Su Xiaofei tried to explain.

Xi Qian blinked and gave it a good thought. She hadn't expected that it would be that complicated.

"So you mean if the marriage pushed through, both families would stand to gain more and expand their reach in their respective sectors. It would really be a great loss if Cai Lin and Feng Xue'er didn't marry each other."

"That's right. It's good that you understand their predicament." Su Xiaofei smiled at her.

Both the Cai and Feng families were expecting for the marriage between the two to push through as Feng Xue'er seemed to be in love with Cai Lin, while the latter didn't mind marrying the young miss of the Feng family.

However, who would have thought that a Ye Mingyu would come into the scene, ruining the plan that both families had established for years?

Of course, Su Xiaofei had considered what could happen when she decided to use Feng Xue'er against her beloved Da Jie.

In her previous life, Cai Lin and Feng Xue'er had gotten married, but Cai Lin wasn't faithful to his wife and had met Ye Mingyu behind Feng Xue'er's back. Su Xiaofei might have hated Feng Xue'er, but knowing how oblivious the latter was about her husband's betrayal, Su Xiaofei was torn between pitying her or letting Feng Xue'er be.

In the end, Su Xiaofei felt that the sooner Feng Xue'er saw the kind of man Cai Lin was, the better. Obviously, there would be a lot of fights between dogs because of Su Xiaofei's scheme, but she couldn't be bothered by it. Whether Feng Xue'er remained stupid or not out of love depends on her.

Su Xiaofei tried to suppress the sinister smile on her lips as she thought about it. By now, both families had been notified of what caused the breakup between Cai Lin and Feng Xue'er, and naturally, they would blame none other than Ye Mingyu.

Ye Mingyu would be too busy sooner or later. Her hands would be too full, and she wouldn't have any spare time to scheme against Su Xiaofei.

"But I don't like it, Feifei. I feel like Feng Xue'er deserved better than to be used by her family as a bargaining chip to raise their family's standing." Xi Qian said with a slight frown.

When Su Xiaofei remained silent, Xi Qian continued.

"Wouldn't it be better if people marry because of love and not because of other reasons? The elder generation thought that a husband represented a woman's happiness and future, but that isn't the case in today's society, right? A woman's happiness doesn't need to revolve around a man. A woman's future could be determined by her own efforts."

Su Xiaofei understood why Xi Qian was like this. Her best friend didn't want to rely on a man. Perhaps it was because Xi Qian's father had repeatedly disappointed Xi Qian to the point that she would rather do all the things she needed to do herself, including feeding and providing for herself.

"Also, I heard that Feng Xue'er is talented in designing clothes and wants to pursue a career in fashion. Would she rather be a plain housewife than chase after her dream?"

"Who knows." Su Xiaofei shrugged. "The choice is hers. We can only wait and see how the future events unfold."

She really didn't care what Feng Xue'er wanted to do with her life. Su Xiaofei only needed her as a pawn against Ye Mingyu in the future.. Since the seed of enmity in Feng Xu'er had bloomed, Ye Mingyu would only be a thorn in her eyes.
