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

Su Xiaofei paid special attention to Xiao Rufeng and had made arrangements to limit her talent's encounter with the Xiao family. However, she was aware that she wouldn't be able to stop Xiao Yunyao from completely provoking Xiao Rufeng. It hadn't been a surprise to her to know that Xiao Rufeng was in such a dilemma. Such things in wealthy families were quite common.

Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian arrived at Hazel Brew Café, where Lu Qingfeng had brought them a long time ago. There were very few changes at the place, but the comfortable feeling Su Xiaofei felt the first time she came here remained the same.

"The usual, Miss Su, Miss Xi?" The daughter of the owner of the café, named Shen Jiao, smiled at Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian.

"Ah, Jiaojiao, there's no need for you to be polite. You can just call us by our given names." Xi Qian cupped her chin and winked in Shen Jiao's way. They frequently came here whenever she and Su Xiaofei had time for a break and had eventually made friends with the owner's daughter.

Shen Jiao was a twenty-seven-year-old woman with shoulder-length hair and a mole on her upper lip. She had been helping her father manage the café for a year now. She had resigned from her hectic work in the corporate world and chose to help in their family business instead.

Shen Jiao laughed behind her hand and glanced at the other customers enjoying their drinks and snacks. No one seemed to notice or even care that she was talking to her friends, as the other customers were preoccupied with their snacks.

"Our new customers might think that I'm being impolite if I don't greet our patrons properly, but you two came at the right time today since peak hours just ended."

Ever since she worked at Hazel Brew Café, their sales shoot up and many students have come to try their menu. Amongst their patrons, Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian became her good friends, and she kept in touch with them despite their busy schedules.

"You are being too serious, Jiaojiao. Who cares if you call us by our names? You can just say that we are your friends dropping by to see you." Xi Qian scoffed before checking the familiar menu that Shen Jiao handed to her.

"I think I'll have the usual Jiaojiao. I'm too tired to think of what to have now." She told Shen Jiao.

"I'll have your latest, Jiaojiao. I haven't visited you for some time. I'm also looking forward to having Xiao Feng try them." Su Xiaofei commented, eyeing the Zhang siblings, who had taken a seat a safe distance away from her and Xi Qian.

"Ah, is your little boyfriend coming back anytime soon? I'm looking forward to finally meeting him." Shen Jiao covered her lips with the small note on her hand, enjoying the sight of the slight blush on Su Xiaofei's face.

"Can you all stop asking me when he will return? It's not like he would tell me everything." The young woman in question avoided their inquisitive gaze and ignored their teasing smiles. Su Xiaofei didn't want to admit it, but she was also curious when she would be able to see Lu Qingfeng again.

There were also rumors circulating about Lu Qingfeng dating Qin Ying, but she didn't dare to believe any of it. How can she not know that Qin Yin followed Lu Qingfeng to Shenjing? He hadn't been gone from Qiying City for a week, and the news about her going to Shenjing to follow him had blown up on their school forum.

Su Xiaofei slightly envied Qin Ying because she was able to leave and go wherever Lu Qingfeng was, but she didn't want to leave her mother alone during such a critical time at Bluemedia. And it wasn't like she didn't trust Lu Qingfeng.

Since he was able to spend the rest of his life alone after her death in her past life, Su Xiaofei wouldn't doubt his sincerity towards her. It would be impossible for Lu Qingfeng to turn his back on his own words.

"Alright, let's stop teasing Feifei. I'm pretty sure Lu Qingfeng would be here once he settled all the things he needed to settle." Xi Qian took pity on her best friend and allowed Shen Jiao to take their orders. She also didn't think that Lu Qingfeng would dare to cheat behind Feifei, considering that Feifei had him head over heels for her.

Once Shen Jiao left, the smile on Xi Qian's face vanished. She then leaned closer to Su Xiaofei, making sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, which Su Xiaofei found funny, considering that the Zhang sibling won't let anyone do so.

"Feifei, I'm sure you've already heard about Ye Mingyu's return, but you don't seem to care about her."

"Oh, have I?" Su Xiaofei cocked her head on one side and gave Xi Qian a curious look. Of course she knew, but she didn't think it was the right time for her to deal with Ye Mingyu.

"Well, I don't believe that you aren't aware of her return. She's also the topic of conversation in our chatroom, and some of our classmates want to invite her for a reunion." Xi Qian explained.

She kept in touch with several of their schoolmates from QCA and while she wasn't actively posting in their chatroom, Xi Qian tried to go back and read the conversation when she had time to make sure she hadn't missed any important details.

Some were criticizing Ye Mingyu, while the others were curious to know how she was faring, now that she was back from abroad and just debuted in showbiz. They were also aware that Su Xiaofei had joined Bluemedia Entertainment, but they didn't know that she was the talent manager of some of the top stars of the company, nor the fact that she was a managing director now.

Unlike Su Xiaofei, who couldn't be bothered to waste her time following their chatroom, but she did keep in touch with other fellow students whom she thought would be valuable partners in the future. Obviously those innocent and haughty young masters and misses would eventually succeed their parents in their family business.

"I thought our reunion was canceled? Didn't they say they were too busy to attend a meet up?" Su Xiaofei questioned, but she already knew that it would happen a month from now.

In her previous life, Ye Mingyu used their school reunion to humiliate her, and allow everyone to see their differences. By that time, Ye Mingyu's career and popularity were soaring, while Su Xiaofei was struggling to secure projects and endorsements.

The more Ye Mingyu shone, the more Su Xiaofei looked bad to others. It also didn't help that she wasn't able to finish her studies and was lacking connections, unlike Ye Mingyu who had the Ouyang family to support her.

"Well, it seems like they changed their minds this time. Do you think they'll let go of this opportunity to brag about their achievements and see how the others are doing after graduating? Don't tell me you are interested in attending?"

Xi Qian knew that her best friend would rather avoid attending parties and events like this as she didn't like to socialize with anyone. She knew Su Xiaofei would rather have a good night's sleep than waste her time, flaunting herself in public.

"It's actually a good time to build some connections for me, Qian. Would you come and attend with me?" Su Xiaofei answered her, gauging Xi Qian's reaction.

Since she also attended the same reunion in her previous life, she also got a hunch whom she would be seeing that night. It wasn't just Lu Qingfeng who moved to Shenjing after their graduation anyway.

"I'm not sure, Feifei. I cannot give you an answer now. We need to wait and see when it will be held and if my schedule permits me to attend it. It's also hard for us to ask for a day off these days since the flu season has just started."

Xi Qian had just landed a job in a private hospital in Guangshang and her shifts frequently changed. Adding to the fact that she's also reviewing, Xi Qian needed to strictly follow her schedule.

Su Xiaofei nodded in understanding and fell into a deep thought. Xi Qian still ended up as a nurse in this lifetime, however, it was too early. Su Xiaofei feared that because she had changed the course of events since her rebirth, she might have stolen Xi Qian's chance to meet the love of her life.

However, what Su Xiaofei didn't know was that Li Xiran was closer now to Xi Qian without their knowing. Li Xiran's father was recently admitted for a major operation at the same hospital where Xi Qian was working.

Moreover, even if Su Xiaofei managed to change the course of events, she couldn't stop two people who were destined to cross paths and meet each other.
