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

Chapter 152 - The White Lily (2)

Ye Mingyu thought that Su Xiaofei was coming to her to bully her. She had mentally prepared herself and clasped her hands together, her eyes ready to shed tears at any moment. However, who would have thought that Su Xiaofei would walk past her and ignore her presence altogether?

Su Xiaofei had stopped in front of the banquet table, picked up a plate, wondering which desserts she would have, leaving Ye Mingyu speechless behind her. Those young misses who were looking their way, giggled upon seeing Ye Mingyu's reaction.

Ye Mingyu's cheeks turned red, as if being ignored by Su Xiaofei was worse than being slapped in her face. She had never been humiliated like this before.

Inside the banquet hall, Su Xiaofei couldn't be bothered by Ye Mingyu and the other attendees. The guests were all pretentious, wearing their perfect masks. She didn't even bother to politely greet the people around her, as she only had a few sips of alcohol. This was just like any other social event she attended in her past life, it was really boring.

The memory of Mo Yuchen and Ye Mingyu's betrayal were etched so deeply in her mind, but that didn't mean she shouldn't try to lead a happier life this time. At this point, Ye Mingyu was still a weakling, but she would certainly catch up with her schemes in five years time.

Lu Qingfeng arrived next to her and helped her choose the desserts that wouldn't be too sweet to her liking.

Ye Mingyu couldn't stop herself and picked up a cocktail and turned around to leave. She had considered seeking Lu Qingfeng earlier, but the young man was too scary in her opinion. It was as if his cold, indifferent eyes could see past her mask, making her uncomfortable under his gaze.

Her appearance as a young woman who looked pitiful, vulnerable and sweet, something all men would love to protect, didn't have any effect on him. It was hard for Ye Mingyu to figure out what Lu Qingfeng was thinking.

This man always appeared so nonchalant about everything, and Ye Mingyu had no idea what he was thinking or feeling deep down. Unlike Young Master Mo who was very vocal with his disgust towards Su Xiaofei, Lu Qingfeng had been Su Xiaofei's greatest support without realising it.

In her past life, Lu Qingfeng was Su Xiaofei's childhood friend. He died in an assassination attempt, which led Su Xiaofei into depression. One could easily tell that Su Xiaofei regarded him highly in her heart, but it was incomparable to her adoration of Young Master Mo.

Because Ye Mingyu was also expecting that Lu Qingfeng would lose his life in five years, she decided not to get involved with him. As long as the events in this life remained the same as her previous life, then once Lu Qingfeng was out of the scene, it would be easier for her to ruin Su Xiaofei in public.

Finally, when Lu Qingfeng left Su Xiaofei again, Ye Mingyu seized her chance.

Just as Su Xiaofei was about to return to her seat after conversing with other guests, she bumped into someone when she turned around.

The cocktail glass fell on the floor and made a clear, loud sound as it broke. This only signified that another person was about to make a fool out of oneself.

Su Xiaofei raised her eyebrows and looked at the desperate Ye Mingyu in front of her. How could she not know what this woman was thinking at the moment? The cocktail in Ye Mingyu's hand spilled all over her chest, soaking her white gown in the process.

Su Xiaofei looked at her so calmly, without a hint of disgust on her face.

Naturally, it attracted everyone's attention towards them. The crowd had always enjoyed watching dramatic scenes and knew the underlying scheme hidden behind Ye Mingyu's actions. It wasn't like they weren't oblivious to Ye Mingyu's intention to shame Su Xiaofei.

At this moment, the white princess dress Ye Mingyu was wearing was splashed with a red stain. Those pairs of pitiful eyes looked at Su Xiaofei with worry.

"Meimei1… no, Xiaofei. It's my fault. I promise I didn't mean to! I was careless and bumped into you because I wasn't looking where I was going. Please don't take it to heart." Ye Mingyu hurriedly said, appearing so gentle and pitiful at the same time.

This seemingly delicate and weak young woman could easily soften one's heart, especially young men, but not Su Xiaofei.

However, Su Xiaofei remained silent and didn't utter a word. Her gaze coldly swept the circle around them. The young masters and young ladies were observant, wanting to see how she would deal with Ye Mingyu.

If it was in the past, she would swear at Ye Mingyu like a shrew or slap her in anger. Despite knowing the consequences, Su Xiaofei would have just done it, knowing it was just a trick to provoke her anger. Ye Mingyu was aware of this, and thus she did this.

But no matter what she did, it would make her seem unruly and unreasonable. As always, others waited for her to lose face, waited for her to make a fool of herself and to give them yet another reason to despise her.

In all honesty, Su Xiaofei knew that they would use any random, illogical reason to hate her just like they did in her previous life.

As to why Ye Mingyu would bump into Su Xiaofei, these people were no fools. However, they couldn't care less about what the reason was.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Su Xiaofei's lips curled into a devilish smile. Since she already had a bad reputation in public, there's no need for her to pretend at all.

Of course, Ye Mingyu seemed a little shocked with her reaction. She had thought that by continuing to provoke Su Xiaofei, the latter's mask of indifference would eventually crack.

"Xiaofei, it's all on me…"
