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

Chapter 133 - The Crows Everywhere Were Pitch Black (1)

As Yun Qingrong said these words, Su Xiaofei lowered her eyes to hide the ruthlessness that appeared in them. However, it was too late, because Lu Qingfeng was able to see it before she was able to hide it.

Meanwhile, Housekeeper Chen was surprised and upset that Yun Qingrong had denied helping her daughter. Yun Qingrong used to be agreeable and easy to deal with, but recently, Housekeeper Chen noticed that the woman was wrapped too tightly around Su Xiaofei's fingers that she would listen to whatever this wretched young woman would say.

Thinking about it, all the problems she and her family were currently facing had stemmed from Su Xiaofei's interference in their plans. If she hadn't showed up the day Ye Xing and Ye Mingyu arrived to confront Yun Qingrong, her family wouldn't have been kicked out of the household.

Even though they were now living with her cousin and Ye Xing, Housekeeper Chen was aware that she was now short of money. Unlike Yun Qingrong who was generous with her pay for the staff in her household, the same couldn't be said about Su Haoran.

She and her family wouldn't suffer like this if Su Xiaofei didn't get involved that day. None of this would happen if only Su Xiaofei played her role diligently. Su Xiaofei should be ignorant and foolish for Ye Mingyu to stand out.

But the young woman in front of her was unrecognizable. Su Xiaofei was like a villainess, seated on her golden throne, watching the world burn on its own, forcing everyone to play by her rules.

Now that she had a closer look at Su Xiaofei, Housekeeper Chen thought that she should have believed her Xiao Li when she said that something had changed in Su Xiaofei, and that she found their young miss suspicious and frightening at the same time.

"Rest assured, Xiao Li. When Yu'er moves in with us, Su Xiaofei won't be able to look down on you. Su Xiaofei is a stupid person and there's nothing to fear about her, dear. She's only acting like this because Yun Qingrong is spoiling her rotten."

"But Mom…" Chen Li wanted to argue, but her mother hushed her.

"Su Xiaofei doesn't know anything. Compared to your Mingyu Jie, she is stupid and ignorant. She's not as articulate and as smart as Ye Mingyu. In the future, Ye Mingyu will replace her as the rightful miss of the Su family. When that happens, you have to make sure that you're on her good side so her family will continue to look after us."

However, looking at Su Xiaofei now, Housekeeper Chen thought that this young woman might know something. Could it be that the hospitalization and the huge argument with Young Master Mo had forced Su Xiaofei to change?

Su Xiaofei could clearly see how the gears in this old woman's head were turning. She jeered in her heart, knowing that if things remained the same as her past life, the one who would be in trouble was her and not Chen Li.

In her past life, when she found out that it was Chen Li who was pretending to be her, she foolishly asked Housekeeper Chen to convince Chen Li to come out and clear her name, but what did this shameless old woman tell her?

"Things are like this, Miss Xiaofei. Xiao Li's name and future would be ruined if she comes out and clears your name. Unlike you, who has money at your disposal, my Xiao Li wouldn't be able to suppress the news about her." Housekeeper Chen was saying this in a calm voice, but Su Xiaofei could clearly see that the old woman was mocking her.

Was she mocking her because of her stupidity, or was the old woman looking down on her because of her obliviousness towards her real identity?

However, it didn't matter now. She wasn't the same stupid and ignorant Su Xiaofei that they knew. She had changed a lot, which forced them to feel lost and helpless when it comes to dealing with her. They had been complacent that the foolish Su Xiaofei would remain the same and won't change.

So what if she stole the beam and replaced it with a pole1? Chen Li was the one who dared to scheme against her, but she ended up shooting her own foot with it.

No matter if it was her past life or this life, the crows everywhere were pitch black1. If Chen Li was truly innocent like her mother claimed her to be, she wouldn't have stolen Su Xiaofei's belongings and impersonated her in public, knowing the possible consequences of those actions on Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei's expression remained cold, as her eyes were faintly gleaming with hatred. Seeing her face like this, Housekeeper Chen instinctively shrunk back a little.

"So, Miss Su, have you made a decision?" The inspector asked, while Su Xiaofei's eyes remained on Housekeeper Chen.

"Yes." She hummed before glancing at the man and giving him a polite smile.

"It's a pity that our relationship with the Chen family has come to this. However, I agree with what the esteemed officers said earlier. These are serious offenses that could harm my reputation and future."

"No. No. Please…" Housekeeper Chen fell on her knees and clasped her hands together.

"Miss Xiaofei, can you please help Xiao Li? Seeing that we've spent years living together, can't you let her off this time? Xiao Li knows what she did was wrong!"

Su Xiaofei cocked her head to one side and rubbed her chin.

"Why should I? In case you are forgetting, I'm the victim here." She replied with a cold tone.

As she said these, she could feel Chen Li glaring daggers in her direction.

"But we're still a family, right? We should look after each other in times of need. All you need to do is just give Xiao Li your hand-me-down clothes, then you can certainly help her avoid getting jailed."
