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

Chapter 46 - The Yun Family (2)

Despite being abandoned by her own biological mother at the orphanage, the baby wasn't a fussy child who craved attention. According to the caretaker of the baby who was left by her unknown mother at the front door of the orphanage during a stormy night, the baby rarely cried for attention and would only do so when she was hungry or when her bottom was wet or soiled.

Aside from the clothes the baby was wearing, there was no indication left of her name or identity other than a date that was written on a piece of paper, tucked in one of her mittens.

The first time Yun Qingrong held the baby girl in her arms, she had this profound feeling that she had never felt before. She felt such a deep connection with the child even though she wasn't hers and fell deeply in love with her. The baby was simply the most beautiful child she had ever seen in her whole life.

As someone whose womb is labelled a barren, Yun Qingrong convinced her husband to adopt the child legally, intending to raise her as their daughter. It hadn't been easy to convince Su Haoran, but she managed to get his permission and had legally named the baby as their own.

Yun Qingrong bestowed the child with the name Su Xiaofei as the child was really cute and endearing, and she hoped that the child would grow up as a clever woman who would resist her impulses and make informed decisions.

Master Ouyang chuckled at Yun Shao's reaction. He had already expected this reaction from the youngest of the Yun siblings. After all, despite the years of separation, Yun Qingrong was still part of their family. He could only hope that this incident would mend the bridges they burned years ago.

"Calm down." Yun Yuanzhi told his youngest brother, shooting him a warning look. "Let's hear what Master Ouyang has to say."

"You mentioned Qing'er's adopted daughter, how is she?" It was Yun Zhaonan who asked Master Ouyang this question. There were rumors circulating in Qiying City regarding Su Xiaofei, but none of the Yun family members could tell whether it was true or not.

Master Ouyang hummed and rubbed his chin as he pondered how he should describe Su Xiaofei.

"How should I say this…" He started. "Based on her looks, I have to say that she has a very pretty face. She could turn into a great beauty once she's old enough. As for her temperament, she isn't like Qing'er."

"It's understandable. She's not Qing'er real child in the first place." Yun Guanyu commented.

Master Ouyang shook his head.

"It's not like that. The girl is smart, but extremely cunning. She knew when to take advantage of the situation and knew when to back down. Perhaps this is the reason why the rumors paint her as arrogant and haughty. From what I've seen, it seems like she despises Su Haoran, despite being adopted by him, and adores her mother so much that she wouldn't mind playing dirty in order to protect Qing'er. One can easily tell that she hates her father, especially now that his mistress and illegitimate daughter had come and tried to bully Qing'er in their own home"

"Well, the old reports said that he wasn't really a hands-on father to their adopted child. It only makes sense that she wasn't on good terms with him." Yun Zhaonan quipped.

"Su Haoran is getting bolder, huh. He better pray that our paths won't cross, because I will definitely teach him a lesson he would never forget for bullying my sister!" Yun Shao exclaimed. Since he was the closest to their sister, he was obviously furious upon hearing the news about Su Haoran's betrayal.

"Did she know who you were when you first met at the pharmacy?" The Old Master Yun asked curiously.

Was it really a coincidence that the young woman who saved Master Ouyang's life was none other than Yun Qingrong's adopted child?

Master Ouyang sighed this time, thinking that it had been a pity that so many years had already passed and yet Yun Qingrong was still estranged from her own family. Had he not met Su Xiaofei that fateful afternoon, he would have never found out that Yun Qingrong had a child.

"No. I don't think she knows me or is aware of my connection with her maternal family. Just now, Xiao Fei revealed that Qing'er refused to talk about your family in front of her and would always cry whenever Xiao Fei asked her. The child probably realized that asking her mother only made Qing'er cry, so she never brought up the subject again."

Yun Guanyu fell silent, his eyes lowering as he contemplated what he would do with this sudden news about his daughter. Of course, he was livid to know that he was right, that Su Haoran would mistreat his daughter once he realized that he couldn't get anything from their marriage, but why didn't his daughter seek help from them?

He was already old, and he knew that his time on earth was already outnumbered. Who knew how many years he still had to live? His only wish right now was to see his only daughter come home to them.

Alas, he had been prideful and hard to her in the past. He regretted that he refused to see her when she came home to see him, despite him being home. She was his most treasured daughter, and it pained him to know that Su Haoran had disrespected his daughter by having a child with another woman.

As for his Qing'er's adopted child, as long as this Su Xiaofei valued and treasured the woman who raised her, the Yun family wouldn't mistreat her.

"I want to see this Su Xiaofei personally.. I want to see with my own eyes the kind of person Qing'er raised over the years and if she's worthy to be part of my Yun family."
