Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 283 - Impending Danger (1)Once Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian were away from everyone's earshot, Xi Qian gave her best friend a glance, wondering what Feifei was thinking now that they had met Ye Mingyu again.
"Feifei, are you alright?" She asked. Xi Qian was still annoyed that Ye Mingyu was forcing her best friend to acknowledge her as Feifei's sister after all that happened between them in the past.
"Why would I not be okay, Qian? If anything, Ye Mingyu is the one who should be worried now. She still has nothing between her ears." Su Xiaofei replied, before greeting other guests they met at the banquet hall.
Xi Qian nodded in understanding and chose to push the matter about Ye Mingyu aside to enjoy this rare event with her best friend. She wasn't sure when would be the next time that she and Feifei could hang out together, given how busy their schedules were.
Su Xiaofei was obviously in a good mood and didn't avoid other guests that came to greet her. In fact, she received and exchanged business cards with them, establishing connections with her prospective investors in the future.
Meanwhile, Xi Qian met with her other friends and caught up with them, leaving Su Xiaofei to talk with Song Yiran, who cornered her upon seeing her.
Su Xiaofei tried to ignore Song Yiran, but the man insisted on making friends with her.
"Don't you have anything else to do but to annoy me?" She raised a brow at him, wondering why he was so persistent on investing in Bluemedia now.
Thinking about it, by this time, Song Yiran's death should have taken place already in a foreign land. It had been big news in Su Xiaofei's previous life, as everyone at QCA had mourned his sudden passing.
Su Xiaofei wasn't paying attention to the Song family's affairs as she was busy with her work at Bluemedia. However, seeing that Song Yiran didn't seem like he was desperate, she couldn't fathom what his motive was.
"I'm just saying that I'm interested in investing in your future projects. Why can't I? It's not like you are the one being at a disadvantage if the project fails." Song Yiran reasoned out.
"Say, are you trying to raise your shares in your family business?" Su Xiaofei asked him bluntly. She couldn't think of any reason behind his actions except for this.
"Ah, did Lu Qingfeng tell you that?" Song Yiran chuckled in return. "Man, I didn't think he would casually share such information with his girlfriend."
Su Xiaofei frowned, but didn't correct him. She was merely curious why Song Yiran suddenly mentioned Lu Qingfeng.
When the man saw the confusion on her face, it dawned to him that he was the one who misunderstood her.
"You don't know? Lu Qingfeng really hasn't told you anything?" He probed.
"Is there something I need to know? Anyway, if Lu Qingfeng deemed that it's not my business or concern to begin with, why would he disclose it to me?" She asked in return.
Song Yiran took a deep breath and picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter.
"Didn't you hear that I also went to Shenjing to study? Lu Qingfeng and I became friends. At least that's what I think." He shrugged. "Actually, he was the one who suggested that I should invest in your future projects, but considering Bluemedia hadn't released another series or film over the past two years, I'm quite hesitant at the moment."
Su Xiaofei fell silent on this. Was this Lu Qingfeng's way of helping her and Song Yiran? Since she couldn't simply actively demand Lu Qingfeng's help every time she faced an obstacle, she tried to do everything in her capacity first before considering other options.
"I see." Since Song Yiran had put it that way and Lu Qingfeng trusted him, she supposed that it wouldn't hurt to accept Song Yiran's proposition.
"Actually, we are planning on releasing another film soon, but it's still in the planning stages and the script is still a work in progress." She informed him.
Song Yiran's face immediately lit up. Had he known that mentioning Lu Qingfeng's name would make her agree, he would have said it earlier.
"Great!" He raised his glass and clunked it with Su Xiaofei's. "Give me a call anytime and give me a go signal when it's ready."
She nodded at him before her eyes swept around the banquet hall looking for Xi Qian. Su Xiaofei found her giggling with the other guests, and she couldn't help but smile.
"I'm surprised that you and Miss Xi are still friends." She suddenly heard Song Yiran say next to her.
"Qian and I have known each other for a long time. There's no reason why I wouldn't befriend her."
"But you are also close with Lu Qingfeng, no?"
"What about it?" Su Xiaofei couldn't understand his point for saying this. "There's no rule that I should only befriend one of them."
"I suppose you are right. You and Lu Qingfeng are the same in so many ways." Song Yiran shrugged.
He was one of those people who could be considered as a social butterfly, but in truth, he never had a real friend he could rely on. The only person he could be honest with was his elder brother. Seeing how close Su Xiaofei was with both Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng made Song Yiran feel lonelier than ever. He also wanted to experience this type of connection with someone.
At first, when he and Lu Qingfeng met in Shenjing, Song Yiran had been curious about the younger man. Despite his young age, no one dared to question Lu Qingfeng's capability. In fact, the young man proved that he was competent in his chosen path.
Song Yiran wanted to learn from him, so despite Lu Qingfeng's annoyance at first, he persistently visited him and invited him to hang out.. It took several months before Lu Qingfeng got used to Song Yiran's company.
