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

Chapter 146 - Odette And Odile (2)

When they arrived, they saw that many people had already arrived at the venue. People in decadent outfits were chatting in groups, talking in low voices appropriate for their social status. Those who weren't as wealthy and significant tried to make acquaintances and connections as they conversed lively regarding mundane current affairs in Qiying City.

The students attending the ball were required to wear a brooch that signified their year level, which meant that Su Xiaofei and Ye Mingyu should have a rose brooch on their dresses. This would help the staff and waiters to identify those who are of age and would be allowed to have alcoholic drinks, which means only those with rose brooches on their clothes would be entertained if they ask for a drink.

When the other guests saw Su Xiaofei arriving with Lu Qingfeng, some came to greet her. Some girls tried to get close to Su Xiaofei, hoping that they would be able to ask her a favor once they all graduated from the academy. Still, there were still some that would only sneer upon seeing her, not willing to even get close to her.

"Schoolmate Su is getting more and more beautiful each day. I dare say that she might be crowned as the Queen Fairy of the Night this year."

"Oh my goodness, you look stunning tonight!"

"The same goes to you." Su Xiaofei's right eye winked.

"Right. This formal dress is particularly stunning. Which brand is it from?"

"Ah, I didn't check the tag, but my mother bought this a long time ago."

Despite the tedious talks she was entertaining, she kept a slight smile on her face without showing any hint of boredom. It was only when Lu Qingfeng dragged her away, did Su Xiaofei sigh in relief.

Her eyes swept around the crowd, and she could neither see Ye Mingyu and Feng Xue'er anywhere. There was no way those two would miss being here tonight.

Suddenly, there were murmurs in the crowd as someone arrived and entered the banquet hall. Su Xiaofei released Lu Qingfeng's arm and took a champagne flute from a passing waiter, her eyes never leaving the entrance.

"Who is it?" She heard Lu Qingfeng ask, but she didn't need to answer because he was able to see it himself.

Ye Mingyu arrived, dressed in a pristine white princess dress, with Cai Lin as her partner. This was enough to erupt another round of gossiping amongst the students of the academy. Still, Feng Xue'er was nowhere to be found.

In Su Xiaofei's opinion, the dress Ye Mingyu was wearing tonight looked remarkable, but it lacked elegance and originality. In fact, compared to the original dress Ye Mingyu wore in her previous life, Su Xiaofei deemed that Ye Mingyu's dress tonight was inferior.

The color scheme and details looked plain, as if it was intentionally half done by Feng Xue'er. The dress was able to emphasize Ye Mingyu's slender waist, while her long skirt was designed to be billowing as much as possible.

It didn't look heavy, but compared to Feng Xue'er's original masterpiece, this one couldn't hold a candle. There was no way Ye Mingyu would be able to win the title 'Queen Fairy of the Night' in that half-made dress.

So it wasn't really surprising when some vicious young misses started to criticize her.

"Oh my, look at her dress. Is she really serious about wearing such a dress here? Did she think she's now a disney princess just because she managed to snatch Cai Lin from her own friend?"

"Heh. She really wore a white dress. Is this really Su Xiaofei's Da Jie? Is Ye Mingyu trying to portray herself as a princess or a fairy in such an outfit?"

"Well, now that you've mentioned it, Su Xiaofei's dress isn't as flashy as Ye Mingyu, but it's dark color scheme really compliments her complexion."

"Hmm… these two look like Odette and Odile. One is trying to be innocent, sweet and guileless, while the other one is shamelessly bewitching and proud. If I were to choose who looked better tonight, I'll say I prefer Su Xiaofei. Her outfit simple, straightforward and elegant at the same time. Ye Mingyu is trying to portray an innocent and delicate look while Su Xiaofei looked stunning being dark and sensual. Who would have thought that a haughty missy like Su Xiaofei would be able to change like this?"

Perhaps it was Ye Mingyu's first time wearing such a dress, she beamed a wide smile, as if she had no doubt she would be crowned as the most beautiful one tonight. The gold and white number, with a slight corset and a massive skirt, swished around as she walked around happily with Cai Lin as if Feng Xue'er didn't exist for her.

However, the smile on her face didn't last long. It seemed like she was finally aware that people were whispering about her, as her expression darkened into one filled with displeasure as she gripped her skirt.

'Is this how you plan to seek revenge, Feng Xue'er? Now that Cai Lin is willing to get rid of you, you couldn't wait to cause Ye Mingyu's fall?' Su Xiaofei smirked and hid her evil smile behind her glass, not knowing Lu Qingfeng was watching her.

"Xiao Feng, don't you need to go and greet your classmates?" She asked when she noticed that Lu Qingfeng remained next to her.

"Hn. they'll be fine without me. I'm not sure about you, though. What have you done this time?"? Lu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes suspiciously on her.

"Hey! What made you think I did something? Can't you have some faith in me?" Su Xiaofei countered, feigning offence.

"Su Xiaofei not scheming against others is indeed a suspicious one. Since Feng Xue'er had been breathing down your neck and Ye Mingyu kept on obstructing your way, would our Xiaofei really let them off the hook easily?" He pointed out.

Su Xiaofei scoffed at that and finished her drink.. Since Lu Qingfeng had practically saw through her.
