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

Chapter 239 - Intention To Marry (1)

Xi Qian was aware that Su Xiaofei had a hard time making friends with other people because of her straightforward and arrogant personality. While many praised her appearance, some despised her and would rather not get involved with her. So it was surprising for Xi Qian to learn that her best friend managed to meet and get close with someone aside from her and Lu Qingfeng.

"I'm Xiao Rufeng." The young woman introduced herself to Xi Qian. "I'm also a new recruit here with Xiao Fei." She added.

Xi Qian blinked twice then gave her best friend a questioning look, but Su Xiaofei only shrugged it off. Xi Qian surmised that there could be a misunderstanding between the two, but it wasn't her place to clear it up. Perhaps Su Xiaofei hadn't intended it at all.

Xi Qian smiled at Xiao Rufeng and continued to give her ankle first aid before she and Su Xiaofei helped her to get back on her feet.

"Thanks! I'm sorry I had to trouble you." Xiao Rufeng said as the two decided to bring her to the clinic to get her ankles checked themselves and didn't wait for her to deny their help.

"Xiao Rufeng, you have to tell me what really happened." She heard Su Xiaofei say with an annoyed look on her face.

She bit her lower lip and looked away, knowing that Su Xiaofei didn't believe her earlier claim - that she accidentally injured herself. Xiao Rufeng didn't want Su Xiaofei to know that she got injured because she stood up for her when the other trainees started spouting nonsense against Su Xiaofei when she wasn't around.

Su Xiaofei waited outside the clinic with Xi Qian, leaving Xiao Rufeng in the care of the doctor and nurse that were attending her injury.

"Feifei, what do you think happened to her? Do you think someone purposely hurt her because of competition?" Xi Qian broke the silence between them, as she noticed the slight frown on Su Xiaofei earlier.

"Must be something like that."

Since Su Xiaofei knew Xiao Rufeng's personality in her previous life, she knew that the latter could be impulsive at times and was a little temperamental. Xiao Rufeng would surely snap at others if she was repeatedly offended by someone, but Su Xiaofei knew that it was Xiao Rufeng's sense of justice for others that caused it, which could easily be used against her.

Su Xiaofei had been helping Xiao Rufeng, and she wouldn't be surprised if others had issues with it. Either way, this was a perfect chance for Su Xiaofei to teach Xiao Rufeng to control her temper, in order to avoid conflict and misfortune in the future.

"Qian, don't worry too much. Something like this is commonly found among new recruits. Bullying isn't just rampant in schools. You have to understand that because of the fierce competition, it's easy for others to perceive Xiao Rufeng as a threat. However, if Xiao Rufeng wants to last long in this industry, she needs to be resilient and persevere."

"Still, I don't think Xiao Rufeng should keep mum about it and report the person responsible." Xi Qian frowned and glanced at the closed door of the treatment room in the clinic. She hated schemes and scandals like this, and couldn't understand the need to hurt another person for someone else's vested interest.

"It couldn't be helped, Qian. Competition in the entertainment industry is good, because it somehow pushes the actors to do better than the others. However, some would use underhanded methods to get what they wanted, and they are willing to even sell their souls to the devil if their deep-seated wish could be granted."

"I know, Feifei. I'm just disappointed. Look, Xiao Rufeng is still a trainee. She hasn't even debuted yet, but she's already facing schemes like this. Imagine how bad it could get once she has debuted and made a name for herself." Xi Qian argued.

Su Xiaofei inwardly sighed as she was aware of what Xi Qian was thinking at the moment. This was one of the reasons why she couldn't be fully honest with her best friend. If Xi Qian knew how vicious and wicked Su Xiaofei's heart was, Su Xiaofei wasn't certain how her best friend would perceive her from then on.

Once Su Xiaofei was assured that Xiao Rufeng was properly taken care of, she and Xi Qian helped the young woman hail a cab and told Xiao Rufeng to rest her foot and get better.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng had just left Yun Qingrong's office, leaving the woman speechless and confused.

Fang Yi had just met Lu Qingfeng in the hallway and greeted him, before entering Yun Qingrong's office, only to find her in a daze.

"Did something happen?" He called her attention, effectively snapping Yun Qingrong out of her daze.

"Nothing. I'm just…" Yun Qingrong's voice trailed off as she couldn't even explain herself properly at that moment.

"What could possibly happen while you and Lu Qingfeng were talking that left you like this?" Fang Yi chuckled, before handing Yun Qingrong the list of people who auditioned for the title role of "The Poisonous Concubine".

Yun Qingrong furrowed her brows and fell silent, which told Fang Yi that the two had a serious talk earlier.

"Xiao Feng is leaving for Shenjing after his graduation from middle school." Yun Qingrong started.

Fang Yi hummed and took a seat across from her.

"That's what I heard too. I'm sure that Feifei would be sad knowing that one of her best friends is going to leave her side very soon. Are you worried about her? Is that it?" He questioned Yun Qingrong.

Fang Yi was aware that Su Xiaofei's recent change in demeanor and personality had greatly improved the relationship between her and her mother, so he wouldn't be surprised if Yun Qingrong was worrying about her daughter once Lu Qingfeng left.

"No, that's not it, Fang Yi.. Xiao Feng expressed his intention to marry my Feifei."
