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

Su Xiaofei didn't expect that the director would notice her and invite her to join the cast, playing the younger version of Bai Qingyue's character. She wanted to laugh, amused at the situation she was currently in. Knowing Bai Qingyue's personality, she would surely not allow Su Xiaofei to join their production.

This made Su Xiaofei wonder if Bai Qingyue had recognized her as her daughter as soon as she had seen her.

"Director Yan is too kind, but I regret that I would have to turn down your invitation. I'm afraid to put everyone down as I'm not an actress nor do I have prior experience in acting." She told the director, aware that people had come to stop what they were doing and currently giving them an odd look.

"You need not to worry about that, Miss Su. The lines for the younger female lead are few, and you only need to act comfortably throughout the scenes. As for the producer, I'm sure he'll agree with me once he sees you." Director Yan tried to convince her.

They had already selected an actress that could play the role, but upon seeing Su Xiaofei, how can he not try to convince her to join the cast instead? Su Xiaofei would surely attract a lot of attention and this could be her stepping stone to enter show business.

Su Xiaofei's looks were almost similar to Bai Qingyue and those who had been an avid follower of the multi awarded actress would easily think that they were looking at the younger Bai Qingyue when she was still new in the industry.

This wasn't the first time that Director Yan had worked with Bai Qingyue, so he was also familiar with her. He could tell that some of Su Xiaofei's facial features were almost identical to Bai Qingyue, which made the young woman suitable to play the younger version of the female lead.

However, he had no way to know that this young woman would be the main reason why his current project would flop in rating. Su Xiaofei might not be actively involved with the production of "The Poisonous Concubine", but she surely had a hand when Bluemedia declined Bai Qingyue's demand and chose to hold an audition instead.

"I'm really sorry, Director Yan, but I can't. It's an honor to be acknowledged by someone like you, but I really can't accept it." She politely declined.

The director's face fell and he could only sigh dejectedly. Since Su Xiaofei had already decided, there was nothing more he could say to change her mind.

She didn't seem like someone who was worried about money, so he couldn't offer her any financial gains that could entice her.

"Director Yan, Miss Bai is here to see you." His assistant came, informing him of Bai Qingyue's presence.

Director Yan lifted his head and smiled when he spotted Bai Qingyue. He and Bai Qingyue had a good working relationship and wasn't surprised that she sought him for some advice.

"Hello, Director Yan. Do you have some time to spare me? I have a question about the next scene we're about to take." Bai Qingyue's voice was gentle as she spoke with him.

She then glanced at Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng's direction, giving an impression that she was curious about them to Director Yan. She was expecting him to introduce them to her.

"Oh? And this is…" She regarded Su Xiaofei. It was obvious that she was more interested in the young woman as she had blatantly ignored Lu Qingfeng's presence.

"This is Miss Su. She and her companion are also guests in this inn. They stumbled upon us when they were taking a stroll."

Su Xiaofei gave Bai Qingyue a slight bow and introduced herself. She didn't show any impression of being starstruck meeting Bai Qingyue for the first time.

"Hello, Miss Bai. I'm a fan of yours. I look forward to seeing you in your next series."

"I invited her to join our cast as the younger version of your character, but unfortunately she's not available." Director Yan explained.

Bai Qingyue was surprised at that. She thought that this woman was sensible enough to know what it meant to be part of their production. Considering she was able to attract Director Yan's attention, it only meant that the man was able to see some potential in this young woman.

"It's a pity then. I'm sure you'll be able to gain a lot of valuable experience filming with us." She told Su Xiaofei. "How old are you anyway? The younger version of the female lead is around fifteen."

"I'm already eighteen, Miss Bai. However, regardless of the age requirement, I won't be able to accept Director Yan's request. We need to be on our way back home this afternoon."

Su Xiaofei gave her a smile that caused Bai Qingyue to turn stiff. Even if this young woman wasn't her daughter, there's definitely something different with her.

The way Su Xiaofei looked at her felt like she could see way past Bai Qingyue's facade, which made the latter uncomfortable.

Bai Qingyue could only keep the smile on her face, not wanting to show her hesitation and suspicion towards this Young Miss Su. There was certainly another reason why this young woman came here.

Su Xiaofei inwardly scoffed. She was aware why Bai Qingyue mentioned and probed about her age. This woman was no doubt having suspicion about her identity.

She had already changed her hair and fashion style lately, but it didn't seem like it had an effect since many could still see some resemblance between her and Bai Qingyue.

"Then I won't keep you here any longer. I'm sorry that I had disturb you and your companion." Director Yan told Su Xiaofei and gave Lu Qingfeng a curt nod.

"It's nothing, Director Yan. I should be the one apologizing for declining your invitation, but I do hope we'll be able to get a chance to work with each other in the future."

The two left the filming site, leaving Bai Qingyue both a little flustered and confused at the same time. In contrast to her, Su Xiaofei hooked her arm with Lu Qingfeng and resumed their stroll that was interrupted earlier.

Su Xiaofei's mood was obviously good after that, and Lu Qingfeng wondered what made her smile like this.

"What are you smiling for?" He couldn't help but ask curiously.

Su Xiaofei was enjoying a snack while watching the scenery out the window.

They were seated in the backseat of Lu Qingfeng's car, with Nine driving, as they made their way back to Qiying City.

As usual, Nine's focus was on the road with ear pieces on to tune out the conversation between his young master and future madam.

Another car transporting the Zhang siblings was following behind them.

Lu Qingfeng had been paying more attention to Su Xiaofei's expressions lately and he could tell that meeting Bai Qingyue today had some effect on her.

Was she happy meeting Bai Qingyue this early or was it something else? He wondered.

Su Xiaofei wasn't the only one thinking about their imminent separation, but Lu Qingfeng knew that this temporary separation was needed for them to understand themselves better.

"Well, I was able to have you to myself, even if it's just for two days. How can I not be happy?" She grinned at him. "Thanks, Xiao Feng. I know it's not easy for you, but I appreciate that you are here with me."

Oddly, she wasn't worried too much about his impending departure, unlike the past weeks when she had been constantly thinking about it. The time she had spent with him over the two days made her feel more at ease about their relationship.

Although Su Xiaofei admits that she wasn't ready to commit to a relationship, she does acknowledge her growing feelings for Lu Qingfeng.

Maybe it's fine for them to be intimate friends for now, until they are both ready to be lovers in the future. Su Xiaofei hoped that by talking it slowly, she and Lu Qingfeng would be able to cultivate an environment where they could be more honest with each other and what they were looking for.

"Then I'm glad. In the future, when we have spare time, we should travel and take a short vacation together."

"Fine with me, but let's not visit the same place again. We should make more happy memories in different places." Su Xiaofei easily agreed with him.

"We should also invite Qian, Mama and your Grandpa so they may also enjoy and take a break once in a while" She added with eagerness. She certainly wouldn't allow her best friend and her mother to miss such a chance to relax.

Lu Qingfeng could only smile at her, watching her devour the snacks he bought from the inn before leaving.. Seeing her smile like this reminded him of the days he had spent with her in his first life, when they were both living in the countryside, content with being with each other without worrying about anything else.
