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

The trip this time was faster than the first time Su Xiaofei had visited the orphanage. However, this time, Andrew Si had come with her. He looked around, taking in the poor condition of the orphanage. He had a conflicted expression on his face, wondering how his sister was able to survive and live in a place like this.

"Ready?" He heard Su Xiaofei ask, bringing him back to reality.

Andrew Si nodded and followed her lead to the director's office, where his sister was waiting. He was startled a little when Su Xiaofei stopped in her tracks and glanced his way.

"I will leave the explanation to you. I'm sure the director wants to know what happened in the past. Whether your sister comes home with you today would depend on you." She told him.

"I understand." Andrew Si replied, before entering the office on his own.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei took this chance to walk around, watching the children happily playing hide-and-seek. Watching them reminded her once again of her childhood memories before meeting Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian. She used to spend a lot of time on her own, as the other children her age refused to play with her.

It had been a lonely time for her as her parents were never around due to work. Although Yun Qingrong made sure that she wasn't lacking in any material things, it wasn't enough to make Su Xiaofei happy.

She was a child dressed like a doll, but she had no one to accompany her other than her nannies growing up. It wasn't surprising that she had developed a bad personality because of it.

It was only when she met the young Lu Qingfeng did she feel that she wasn't alone anymore. He might not be a talkative companion, but he never made her feel insecure, not even once.

Su Xiaofei smiled at the memory of their very first meeting. She didn't expect that her relationship with Lu Qingfeng would turn into something wonderful as it did right now.

A little girl ran in front of her and waved her little hand to get Su Xiaofei's attention.

"Jiejie! Come and join us!" She invited Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei shook her head and politely declined the girl's invitation. Even if she wanted to join them, her outfit today wouldn't give her the freedom to move around freely.

Behind her, the Zhang siblings were surprised to see how calm Su Xiaofei was today. It was rare for the sisters to see her like this. Usually, Su Xiaofei would be preoccupied with the thoughts on how to secure talents for Bluemedia.

Ever since their young master left for Shenjing, Su Xiaofei became busier with her work for Bluemedia, always keeping herself occupied with work and would come home late at night with her mother.

Zhang Ling didn't want to believe her sister at first when Zhang Lan said that it was Su Xiaofei's way to cope with their young master's absence, but seeing Su Xiaofei now only proved that her elder sister had been right about her observation of their young miss.

"Miss, is it really alright to leave it to Mr. Si?" Zhang Ling questioned Su Xiaofei.

"It's fine. I'm not interested in witnessing his reunion with his sister. Let's give them some privacy to deal with their own problems." Su Xiaofei replied once she had taken a seat on a bench in the small garden of the orphanage.

It seemed that the director was using the funds she and Lu Qingfeng donated to give the children a new set of wardrobe and provided better meals, as there was little to none improvement in the condition of the buildings.

"Then, what does Miss Su plan to do now? We've already signed Qin Muyao, Tang Liyan and poached Mr. Si to join Bluemedia. Is there anything else you want to do?" Zhang Lan was the one who asked Su Xiaofei this time.

"Nothing. Since we've already done our part, we could only wait and see if Tang Liyan would be able to make a successful comeback."

The Zhang siblings glanced at each other. How can they not know that Su Xiaofei was pushing Tang Liyan to "The Poisonous Concubine" to antagonize Mo Yuchen's upcoming historical TV drama?

It wasn't a secret to them that their young miss had bad blood with the young master of the Mo family, but neither of the Zhang siblings knew the reason why Su Xiaofei hated Mo Yuchen with such intensity.

Was it because the man couldn't return her affection? The two sisters didn't think so. After working for Su Xiaofei for several months now, they were both aware of how prideful their young miss could be. Something must have happened between the two that made Su Xiaofei hate Mo Yuchen immensely.

"Do you think what I've done lately is wrong?" Su Xiaofei's sudden question caught the sisters off guard.

"What does Miss Su mean with this question? As your private bodyguards and assistants, our task is to fulfill your orders without question." Zhang Lan replied.

Su Xiaofei chuckled and brushed the stray locks away from her face. It was starting to get cold as the night approached. She was thankful that Zhang Ling had reminded her to dress up appropriately for the weather as Qiying City was considerably warmer than this place.

"Wouldn't that make you a puppet? I don't expect loyalty from you, but I would assume that you won't just blindly accept my orders."

The Zhang siblings fell silent at that. Indeed, they have delivered Su Xiaofei's orders according to her wishes, and they have been curious of the reasons behind them but never questioned her because it wasn't their place.

"I have plans for the future, hence, I need to place the right chess pieces in their right places before the battle starts. No matter how strong a warrior is, if he doesn't have the appropriate weapon to compliment him during a war, he would lose his life easily." Su Xiaofei continued to explain.

"I see. I understand now." Zhang Lan hummed as she stood next to Su Xiaofei and followed her gaze heavenward, watching as the sky slowly darkened from the distance.

"Miss Su didn't need to worry about what we or the others think of your actions. It's not because Ling and I are in no place to question you, but because you didn't have any responsibility to explain yourself to everyone. It's enough for us that you treated Master Feng really well. We could only hope that you won't do anything reckless that could implicate or harm him in any way." She continued.

Su Xiaofei inwardly chuckled at that as she thought of how foolish she was in her previous life. Because of her insecurities, she constantly sought everyone's acknowledgement, not knowing that they cared nothing about her.

In the end, there were only a couple of people who truly loved her, but she had given them nothing but heartache and suffering. Her mother and her best friend lost their lives, while Lu Qingfeng led a lonely life because of her.

It only got worse when Ye Mingyu came into the scene, taking away everything she wanted one after another. She couldn't understand why a person like Ye Mingyu was being loved by everyone despite her being a two-faced woman, while everyone despised her and painted her as the villainess in Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen's love story.

Su Xiaofei could only laugh at the absurdity of her situation in her past life. Her tragic life was caused by her own selfishness and foolishness, leading her straight into Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen's trap.

"I would rather hurt myself than hurt him, Zhang Lan. But if there's a day that you think I'm being a threat to your young master, please tell me. The last thing I want to happen is for Xiao Feng to be lonely because of me."

She had witnessed herself how he dedicated the rest of his life, loving her even beyond her death. The overwhelming feeling of guilt and helplessness she had was so intense, she could only cry for his sake as a wandering host.

However, now that she was reborn, there was no need for her to worry that Lu Qingfeng would suffer the same fate again. If she could be selfish once again, she would want to have all of him to herself in this lifetime, making sure that he would be loved and won't be alone.

Since he had decided to love her and be with her for the rest of his life, Su Xiaofei would make sure to hold him accountable for his words. She would love him with all of her heart, but first, she needed to forgive and free herself from the deep-seated resentment she kept from her previous life, else, the shadow of it would forbid her to truly be happy with Lu Qingfeng in the future.
