Rebirth of the Villainess: Young Master Lu’s Wicked Wife

Chapter 142 - First Impression (2)



Seeing their closeness with each other, Ye Mingyu tried to rack her brain, trying to remember who this man was. Based on his appearance, she could tell that he also came from a well-off family. He had this gentleness in his eyes as he looked at Su Xiaofei.

Who could this person be?

The man looked exceptional and capable, and she wondered which family he belonged to. It didn't matter to her if he was already taken, but if she deemed him to be useful, then she should lure him to her side.

Aside from Lu Qingfeng, she couldn't remember any other man who was close to Su Xiaofei in her past life. Although she was aware that this crazy woman was head over heels for Mo Yuchen.

Regardless of who this person was, Ye Mingyu's eyes glinted with mischief. How could she waste this chance of winning over this man's favor and snatch him from Su Xiaofei's hands? No matter if it was her status, her wealth or her men, Ye Mingyu intended to get everything from Su Xiaofei and leave her with nothing.

The corner of her lips lifted as she walked towards Su Xiaofei, intending to ruin the latter's image in front of this man. Her face immediately changed into one who seemed to be wronged by others as she called out Su Xiaofei's name.

"Su Xiaofei, do you have a moment?" Her face had a hint of uneasiness on it as her lips quivered while looking at Su Xiaofei's face through her thick lashes.

Su Xiaofei and Yun Xiang turned their heads and looked at her with different expressions on their faces. Yun Xiang furrowed his brows, wondering who this young woman was and what she needed from Su Xiaofei, while the latter only gave Ye Mingyu a cold look, knowing what this woman was up to.

'Ye Mingyu, you are still the same. You couldn't wait to ruin my reputation in front of everyone. Alas, let's see if you would be able to ensnare Yun Xiang this time.'

"Is there something you require from me, Miss Ye?" She asked Ye Mingyu, not giving the woman any face as she uttered those words with a very annoyed tone.

Ye Mingyu slightly shivered, not understanding how and when this dumb woman started to grow some backbone to speak like this. She expected Su Xiaofei to be arrogant, but there was something noble and composed about the way Su Xiaofei spoke these days, that she was starting to wonder if this woman was also reborned like her.

No — her mind immediately turned down the possibility. In her past life, Su Xiaofei led a prosperous life until her sudden death, five years after her marriage with Mo Yuchen. Su Xiaofei wouldn't have known that she existed in their previous lives.

However, as Ye Mingyu stared at Su Xiaofei's dark eyes, she felt like she was being devoured by darkness and coldness.

"I-I want to talk about Xiao Li's offence. Can you help her just this once and let her off? I think she's too young to spend her years at the correctional facility."

A smile ghosted on Su Xiaofei's lips. Ye Mingyu might be talking about Chen Li, but she was subtly implying that it was her fault that Chen Li was about to serve her years at the correctional facility, because she wasn't willing to help her.

But why would Su Xiaofei feel guilty about Chen Li's demise? She had known the damage Chen Li would bring to her in the future. She was merely cutting the bud from its stem before it bloomed.

"Hmm? Why would I help Chen Li? Miss Ye must be forgetting that Chen Li and her family have been kicked out of our household because she stole things from me. Also, why should I be kind to her? She used my name and impersonated me in public. Had she offended many people, wouldn't the blame fall on me instead?" She reasoned out, her voice was calm and imposing at the same time.

Ye Mingyu opened her mouth to argue, but Su Xiaofei stopped her.

"Just recently, you claimed that I am your little sister, Miss Ye. So why did you not ask what I felt about Chen Li's betrayal? She used a counterfeit dress, used my name and pushed the blame on me when she was caught. Is it because you are closer to our cousin and would rather side with her no matter how badly she wronged me?"

By these words, Su Xiaofei had indirectly indicated Ye Mingyu's identity to Yun Xiang. He should know by now who's the pitiful, two-faced young woman in front of them. Su Xiaofei would like to see how Yun Xiang would perceive Ye Mingyu on their first encounter, considering that she had managed to delay their meeting when she saved Master Ouyang's life instead of Ye Mingyu.

Hearing what Su Xiaofei just said, Yun Xiang's expression turned ugly. His eyes narrowed on Ye Mingyu suspiciously. So this was the other daughter of Su Haoran, that bastard. Now that he had met his biao mei1 and Aunty Qing, it was obvious that he would take their side rather than believe the daughter of the mistress.

'Ye Mingyu, in this lifetime, do you think I would allow you to get anything that you want just because you want it? Do you know how important first impressions are when making a connection with other people?' Su Xiaofei thought when she saw the disgust and irritation in Yun Xiang's eyes.

"Since it was your cousin's fault, why do our Xiaofei need to carry the burden of her wrongdoings? Stealing things from Xiao Fei could be forgiven, but Miss, do you have any idea how grave the offenses of being caught with a counterfeit item and identity theft are? Those aren't offences that could easily be shrugged off by saying sorry." Yun Xiang said as he thought how shameless this young woman was like her father.
