Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 271 - Startling Change (1)At the age of twenty-three, Su Xiaofei's temper had improved over time. Unlike before, she was resilient and couldn't easily be provoked by anyone's words. Even when she met Mo Yuchen on several occasions, she had treated him like a stranger, as if she had never been his fiancée in the past.
When she heard that Mo Yuchen gained a new fiancée, Su Xiaofei snorted inwardly and tried not to roll her eyes. Of course she knew who the unlucky woman was. Huang Jingjing was a daughter of a family friend of the Mo family and was close in age with Mo Yuchen. It was only expected that the Mo family would replace Su Xiaofei with a better candidate to become their daughter-in-law.
Although Su Xiaofei only met Huang Jingjing in numerous occasions, she knew that the woman wasn't stupid and not a push over. She doubted that Huang Jingjing would allow herself to become a trophy wife. Su Xiaofei also looked forward to how Huang Jingjing would deal with Ye Mingyu, once the latter came back from abroad and pursued Mo Yuchen.
When Xi Qian asked her about it, Su Xiaofei only laughed.
"Qian, I don't care who he is with." She assured her best friend. "Although we aren't betrothed anymore, the enmity between us cannot be extinguished easily." She added with a smile.
Xi Qian seemed pleased with her answer and didn't question her about Mo Yuchen anymore. It was enough for her to see that Su Xiaofei finally got rid of her infatuation towards that horrible man.
"Miss, we received a report that Ye Mingyu's flight landed an hour ago." Zhang Lan reported to Su Xiaofei. "As expected, she has already signed a contract with Top Tier Entertainment and will be debuting very soon."
Su Xiaofei hummed and tapped her fingers lightly on top of her desk, but her eyes shone with amusement. She was playing an online chess game with Lu Qingfeng that night, and the white pieces on the board had no way to retreat.
Over the years of playing chess with Lu Qingfeng, it was only natural for her to improve with time. This wasn't the first time that she had managed to corner him in a game. However, Su Xiaofei didn't dare to lower her guard, because if there's one thing she learned from Lu Qingfeng, the victor wouldn't be announced until one of the parties fell.
With Ye Mingyu's return, it only meant that the board was set, as the vital chess pieces were already in their rightful places, waiting for the other queen to take her place on the other side. Su Xiaofei wondered if Ye Mingyu had grown some brain cells during her absence. It would be a pity if the latter would still pull the same tricks and schemes she did in their previous life.
Three days later, as Su Xiaofei had expected, Top Tier Entertainment chose to introduce Ye Mingyu through social media first. She was painted as the next otherworldly fairy that was to succeed and follow Bai Qingyue's steps.
Of course these claims garnered mixed reactions from the netizens. Those who were loyal fans of Bai Qingyue criticized Ye Mingyu for being shameless to compare herself to their goddess, while others couldn't help but agree that Ye Mingyu was pleasing to their eyes.
When Yun Qingrong became aware of Ye Mingyu's debut, she sought her daughter. She found her daughter still working inside her office, despite the fact that it was already past six in the evening and most of their employees had left for home.
"Feifei, what do you think? With Ye Mingyu joining the showbiz, I fear that she would use this opportunity to drag our family to the limelight." Yun Qingrong asked her daughter.
Su Xiaofei yawned in boredom and cupped her chin, seemingly not worried at all about Ye Mingyu's arrival.
"Mama, if she's a sane person, she wouldn't drag us in the mud, knowing that she would be painted as the other woman's daughter." Su Xiaofei replied, giving her mother an assuring look.
Knowing Ye Mingyu, Su Xiaofei was aware of how prideful she was and how much she hated being labeled as the mistress's daughter. Ye Mingyu would surely hide the truth and wouldn't admit her relationship with Su Haoran and how she was related to Su Xiaofei.
If Ye Mingu revealed her relationship with her and Yun Qingrong, wouldn't that mean she had voluntarily opened a can of worms that she couldn't deal with? That would be like shooting her own foot in the process. Not only would everyone discover that she was a mistress's daughter, but her relationship with Su Haoran, who was serving his sentence behind the bars, would be revealed.
"I'm only worried that she would use you to further her career." Yun Qingrong sighed. She didn't trust Ye Mingyu, but she was relieved to hear her daughter's words.
"That's possible, Mama. But I doubt that she has the capability to do so. Unless she has a strong backing or a golden thigh to hug, Ye Mingyu won't dare to do anything reckless that could ruin her name this early."
Ye Mingyu had just had her debut and her reputation in public was still fragile. However, even if she had somewhat gained a backing, that would never be the Ouyang family. If Ye Mingyu dared to go head-to-head against Su Xiaofei, there was no doubt that the Ouyang family, who owned Top Tier Entertainment, wouldn't have her back.
Since Su Xiaofei had stolen her thunder five years ago by saving Master Ouyang's life, the Ouyang family wouldn't dare do anything to oppose the person who saved their elder's life. In her past life, Ye Mingyu had relied on the support of the Ouyang family and they had been her strong backing to further her career, but not this time.
Ye Mingyu might not have realized it yet, but Su Xiaofei was already a couple of steps ahead of her.
