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

"Nurse Xi, I apologize for letting you witness such a scene from our family." Li Xiran immediately said once he stepped out of the room and found Xi Qian outside.

A part of him felt ashamed that she had seen him under such circumstances. He thought that she had already left when his stepmother and half-brother arrived earlier. She had been kind enough to listen to his worries, but he didn't want to offend her at all.

Xi Qian kept her poker face on and shrugged. She wondered if Li Xiran didn't care that she had seen such a horrible attitude from him. She had just stepped out of the room when Madam Li and Li Xingtian arrived and not one minute had passed, and she could already hear them arguing inside the hospital room.

Did Li Xiran really think that his father's new family didn't deserve his acknowledgement and respect? What she had seen earlier only proved that his relationship with his father was being dampened by his arrogance and pride.

It didn't matter if he was displeased with his father being remarried, but she didn't think he should act like that towards his father's family when all that she could see was that they also cared about his old man. However, Xi Qian kept such thoughts to herself, as she was in no place to criticize him.

"There's no need for you to apologize, Mr. Li." Xi Qian said, as she thought that the people who needed his apology were the ones who were accompanying his father inside the room. She then excused herself, not wanting to get involved with Li Xiran's family issues.

It wasn't the first time she had witnessed relatives of their patients fight in front of them. She had yet to forget an old woman's children who refused to look after her after finding out that she was in the late stages of cancer.

It only made Xi Qian think that blood wasn't that much thicker than water because the person whom you think wouldn't hurt you and would understand you, could be the person who would turn their backs on you. If anything, the people she now considered family were only Su Xiaofei and Yun Qingrong. Even her emergency contact on her records were the two of them.

As she left, Li Xiran could only watch her retreating figure, wondering why she had such a longing expression on her face. The nurse had never asked him anything, nor tried to befriend him after knowing his identity.

"Such an odd woman." Li Xiran told himself as he walked to the opposite direction with his mind still on the poker-faced nurse whom he met recently.

A week had easily passed and Xi Qian found herself at the Yun Mansion, as today was Auntie Liu's last day at the household. After spending years serving Su Xiaofei's family, the old woman was about to retire now to help his new daughter-in-law take care of her grandchild.

"It's a pity I wouldn't be able to see Xiao Feng once he returned." Aunty Liu sighed dejectedly, thinking that she wouldn't be able to welcome the young man once he came back from Shenjing.

It was almost time for his return, and the old woman knew that her young miss had been anticipating it ever since Lu Qingfeng celebrated his twenty-first birthday. Aunty Liu could see that Su Xiaofei had been waiting for his return, as she always had such a wistful longing look in her eyes when Su Xiaofei thought no one was looking at her.

"I heard from Chairman Lu that Xiao Feng is still in the middle of an important overseas deal. It might take sometime before he could return here. " Yun Qingrong nodded. "I'm sure he will pay a visit to you once he's back. Xiao Feng loves your treats and cooking for as long as I can remember." She laughed at this.

Xi Qian glanced at Su Xiaofei who was seated across from her at the dining table as they had dinner with Aunty Liu and Yun Qingrong tonight. She noticed that her best friend hadn't been in the best of moods, but she understood that it was because of Lu Qingfeng's absence. The man had also given Su Xiaofei less calls recently.

However, she couldn't tell Su Xiaofei that Lu Qingfeng was planning a surprise for her twenty-fourth birthday in three weeks. Xi Qian wouldn't dare to ruin such a surprise, but she wouldn't be surprised if the little tyrant would fall on one knee and ask for her best friend's hand in marriage. She knew that Lu Qingfeng was only bidding time until he was old enough to propose to Su Xiaofei.

Aunty Liu giggled at Yun Qingrong's words as she couldn't help but agree with her. They all knew that Lu Qingfeng wasn't a picky eater like Su Xiaofei when the two were younger, and Aunty Liu had a good time feeding the boy with her creations, enjoying seeing him wolf down the food she served for him.

"I do hope so." She agreed with Yun Qingrong before glancing towards Su Xiaofei, who hadn't uttered a single word since Lu Qingfeng's name was mentioned.

"Feifei, come with Xiao Feng to visit me, okay? I will be waiting." The old woman said with a gentle expression on her face.

She had seen Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei grow up together, and she wasn't blind not to notice the young man's growing affection towards her young miss. Su Xiaofei had been oblivious about it at first, but before Lu Qingfeng's departure to Shenjing, it had been obvious that she was starting to feel the same towards her childhood friend and with Lu Qingfeng's long absence, it only made her heart yearn for him.

Su Xiaofei only gave her Aunty Liu a smile and didn't say anything.. Whether it was because she had a long day from work, or because she was upset over Lu Qingfeng's absence, no one was certain.
