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

Chapter 42 - What’s In A Name? (2)

Society didn't look at the strength of one's family, but rather their capabilities. In this wretched world, Su Xiaofei had long accepted that she was being looked down upon by everyone because she was a child that was thrown out by her own biological parents. Had she not been adopted by Yun Qingrong when she was about to turn two years old, she would never have led the prosperous life she had as the young miss of the Su family.

One's name was a vital part of one's identity. People had ignored her atrocious actions in the past because she was known as Young Miss Su. However, the moment Ye Mingyu came into the scene, slowly taking everything from her, Su Xiaofei was left with nothing but a name she didn't even know if it was real.

In her past life, though Su Xiaofei went around frequently committing evil acts, there are still many who followed her because of the money and power she possessed as Yun Qingrong's daughter. Moreover, her looks was one of her biggest assets. It was rare to find a person who wouldn't be enthralled upon seeing her beautiful face. It was just too bad that this woman was extremely poisonous.

Being criticized by Su Xiaofei, Ye Xing bit her lips as she looked down and didn't say anything more, while Ye Mingyu was having a hard time to rein her anger that arose from what Su Xiaofei just said.

"My mother is not a liar…"

"Is that so? So then, why wait for so long before she reveals that she has Papa's daughter?"

"I-I don't know…" Ye Mingyu avoided Su Xiaofei's inquisitive gaze. "But my mother wouldn't lie about this."

"Hey, now. It's not like we are accusing you of lying. Shouldn't a simple paternity test between you and Papa suffice? If you are really his child and my Jiejie, then surely he won't treat you unfairly and will try to provide for you."

Su Xiaofei lifted her chin and looked at Ye Mingyu with a slight smile on her lips. She allowed Ye Mingyu to see the difference between them.

'You want to be the eldest miss of the Su family? Sure, but you will get nothing in return.'

Su Xiaofei refused to be utilized as a plot device for Ye Mingyu to experience challenges and came victorious in the end. She was deeply aware that by now, Ye Mingyu was repeatedly cursing her in her heart, but because of her facade with a kind nature, she would always forgive any offense that was made against her in front of everyone.

Yun Qingrong looked at her daughter and was also puzzled in her heart. Her Feifei had definitely changed, but she couldn't tell if she liked this change in her or not. The world outside was too unforgiving.

See… even in their own household, people were trying to harm her Feifei, even her own husband's relatives were looking down on her.

Words were the sharpest weapons one could use on another person. Not only did it cut deep, but the damage could be irreversible and stay for a lifetime. Yun Qingrong could only hope that her daughter would be able to at least protect herself, not to retort viciously to others like this.

Su Xiaofei sighed and waved her hand, as if dealing with her father's mistress and other daughter was a trivial matter.

"My mother and I are tired. Miss Ye, please leave. Considering that someone's so bold to let you in without asking for her mistress's approval, I suppose she could give you Papa's contact number. If you dare to show up here unannounced again, don't blame us for being impolite." She said before standing up, extending a hand to assist her mother.

She then gestured to Auntie Liu to help her bring her mother upstairs to rest before shooting Housekeeper Chen a glare as she coaxed Ye Mingyu and her mother to leave the estate without gaining anything from this meeting.

While Aunty Liu led Yun Qingrong back to her room, Su Xiaofei saw both mother and child out of their residence.

"Miss Ye." She called out, stopping Ye Mingyu and her mother in her tracks.

Su Xiaofei could see that Ye Mingyu's eyes had turned misty.

"I apologize if you think my words were too harsh, but it's important not to sugarcoat important things and pretend that they are trivial. You are lucky my mother and I weren't calling the cops for trespassing our property, regardless of who let you in. I'll see you some other time, okay?"

Ye Mingyu's lips quivered, but she didn't utter a single word in return.

Su Xiaofei's followed their retreating figure with a cold gaze as she refused to resign to her fate. How could she resign to her fate? If the heavens above gave her the chance to relive her life, if she would still need to resign to fate, wouldn't that mean that her rebirth was practically useless?

Even if she wished to lead a happy and peaceful life, how would it be possible when there were people like Su Haoran, Ye Mingyu and Mo Yuchen who wouldn't want to see her happy at all?

She would willingly embrace the villainess role, if that meant that she would be able to keep those people close to her heart safe. It didn't matter if other people hated her, despised her, for in the end, the only thing that mattered was to protect them.

As soon as they left, the other guests that Su Xiaofei was expecting today finally arrived.

'It seems like it's my turn to act pitiful this time.' She sighed, allowing herself to change her expression, to one who had been wronged by others.

'Master Ouyang, Yun Xiang, please don't disappoint me and report what you find out today.'
